Gratitude | By Sravani Singampalli
That man at Sarojini Market
Sells the best bread
Quality whole wheat bread.
I buy some every day
Bread is not my staple food
I am an Indian and
Indians mostly eat rice.
I am no different.
I don’t buy it
To satiate my hunger
But to express my gratitude
To this kind man
Who offered me some bread
Years ago when I visited this place
And sat near his bakery
With an empty pocket.
