Burnt Mustard Seeds

I was on my train to work, sitting on that window seat
Got up early in morning, didn’t finish my sleep
At one train station, woke up from my nap, out of surprise !
Not sure if I was in a kitchen, or still day dreaming !?

Realized that I was still in the train, going to my work !
Kitchen was not in my dreams, sitting opposite to me !!
That girl who was really beautiful, but smelled like fried eggs,
Burnt oil, cracked mustard seeds and curry paste !!

I loved my cooking all the time, I do experiments 
Fried eggs, cracked mustard seeds and turmeric
Added curry pastes and my chosen Meat or veggies
Enjoyed my meal with my friends and family

Even when I lived in a single room apartment, as single
I could keep the smell of my curries and pastes private
How could I live without my Curries and Fried Proteins ?
I knew my likes are always mine, I never smelled like Curry !

Everyone like the tastes and smells of curry on their table
Not on the train, sitting next to them, on a daily basis
Everyone like to wear some sort of perfumes to smell good
Not that smell of burnt oil, fried mustard seeds and curry !

Let us keep the smell of our curries at home, our own
Wear something else than we cooked with, Washed and Fresh
Make sure our curries and smells are our pride and our own 
Don’t share with those who could never liked them !!

Keep your Jackets and bags away from your Fry pan
Have a shower after cooking your curries ! Or you smell like Curry !
People around you will not tell you anything or that you stink !
But they will curse you all the way to their work, for sure !!
