Metamorphosis of Familiar Faces-5

by Gayathri Devi Dutt
(Bangalore, India)

Narasimha Bhatta (Chef extraordinaire)


A loyal employee of a college in the rural arena
superimposed the biometric standards in attendance

A local caterer with support of mom and wife
Traditional Andhra flavours without any strife

Unique signature style Mango pickle
No one can replicate if tried would tickle

Serving Ragiballs to all faculty bachelors
along with bonus of mango pickle bottled server

Raised one and only issue to employable status
Slowly transferred the Chef role to a sibling

Then one day all of a sudden unaware he vanished
without bidding good bye to any soul on earth
Yet I have memorised his picture
And it stays without any erasure.
