The Smells of Chennai

The aroma of Saambar in the mornings,
Ghee fried tiffins by evening,

Kurma and saadams in the afternoon,
Freshly brewed filter coffee all through June,

Just kidding, 
There's no ridding,

Of fliter coffee,
It's one beverage that everyone meets eye to eye,

Then comes the fresh sea breeze,
To put our minds at ease,

These familiar smells,
Are what make Chennai feel like home, our brain cells,

Immediately perk up,
Our moods instantly brighten up,

All thanks to these typical Chennai smells,
Our hearts swell,

With sheer joy,
Work is immediately put aside as our heart goes "oh boy, oh boy",

For me, food always comes first,
Most evenings I give in to a delectable urge,

It's either bondas or vadas,
Without it, my mood is nada, 

Chennai and it's smells,
It definitely rings my heart's bells.
