an analogy to synergies - women's synergy

THE ‘OH!-SO-MODEST, NUTRITIOUS, NINE-STEP

‘METHI’ (FENUGREEK LEAVES) UPMA’

- A DEMO CAPTURED BY OUR VOLUNTEER,

MS. PRAGYA TANEJA FROM OUR

‘WS-WOK’ (WOMEN’S KALEIDOSCOPE)--

‘CULINARY SYNERGIES’ PROGRAM,

WOMEN’S SYNERGY, DELHI, MAY 2014

2. Alongside is the ‘down-to-earth’ but resolute

‘Iron’ Wok,

Shooing Anaemia and non-stick pans by

taking up the Hard Work

Roasting the whitish cereal into so ‘Heavenly-

Smelling’

Teasing olfactory senses to which it is So

Appealing!

1. Green ‘n’ red, sour-pungent- bitter and hot

They’re all ‘ready-to-go’ ; in Perfect Sync as a lot

Sprightly as ever, synergies Propel them Fast

Towards the evolution of an improvised,

lip-smacking, ‘South Indian’ Breakfast!

3. Says the ‘Stainless steel’ kadai with the Simmering Oil Within: “Hey! I’m the healthier one with a ‘steely’ resolve, Well, use me; as many a problem I could Solve For health reasons, at least, please Do make a Start; Use me in lieu of my Aluminum Counterpart"

6. Yes, they’re all in it together now, even the

‘Hing’ and the Indispensable Salt,

All showing up and doing justice to the dish,

Now Free of Fault

What a joyous change in andscape

‘Togetherness’ could bring Simply

And even make some go as ‘Green’ (as this)

with Envy!

4. These seasonings, awesome, aren’t ‘So Camera- Conscious’ Perhaps Shy mustards take the lead though, Without ‘Time lapse’ Give out ‘spluttering’ calls to these showcased Grains Aglow Now these proud grains follow; just Go with the Flow!

5. Nice and roasted, Golden Brown

Best of condiments and Spices in Town

In chorus signal friends to hurry up; Not to be Slack

As any delay on their part could turn them

Unpalatably Black!

9. Though unique too is each and every ROLE

COMING TOGETHER IS THEIR PRIME COMMON

GOAL [

YES… Right is your guess, the Fenugreek

Leaves UPMA!!.

THE IRON PACKED NUTRITIOUS ‘METHI’ UPMA

‘YET...’TIS THE TOPPING & PRESENTATION

THAT APPEAL, MAKING A DIFFERENCE! …and

So, ….

7. Says the ‘Roasted & Readied ‘Sooji’ hastily

leaping in:

“Upma? without ME?!.. How could that BE!?!

You’ll are all nice & spotted, but don’t Ever Feel

SAD

We’re temporarily dimmed; BUT YOU’LL

SURE SEE SOON, THE ‘VALUE ADD’

8. Says the ‘water’ in-the-hiding, boiling

within:

“Oh hear me out; Hail Guys, Hail’

Thought I was Frail?

I can boil down your Egos all & Blend

Together your Strengths & Flavors you’ll

Lend

Without taking credit at all For Anything

I’ll vanish after quietly Accomplishing

Everything!”

“Great would I feel with a topping; a dollop or so of Pure Cow's Ghee!

Only high temperatures lead ghee to ‘Toxicity’, you see!”

So says the yummy ' Breakfast-on-Plate'

While ‘put-on-wait’ is that ‘Restless Palate’!

*Enjoyed the sight of that ‘Stand –Alone’ Mustard to the LEFT of that plate above, with that

special ‘3-D’ effect? – Almost as if popping out of your laptop/desktop screens!!

Do zoom in – Do not miss!!

Some Hindi terms explained:

1) Sooji: A cereal processed from whole wheat; 2) Kadai: frying pan; 3) Hing: Asafoetida, a gum with

therapeutic properties, obtained from the bark of a tree; 4) Methi: Fenugreek leaves

The ‘Synergies-filled’ story of the 'Great Upma-Fenugreek'

Thus begins with the journey of the 'Mustard-so-Meek'

Leading all the way to that ONE 'transformed'* MUSTARD STANDING OUT OF THE CROWD !

So distinct and vibrant making all others too, SO PROUD!!
