Tongue Searing Spice Sensations for Chilli-fiends: A Tanka
Many Thai dishes are not for the faint-hearted
“Thai food ain't about simplicity. It's about the juggling of disparate elements to create a harmonious finish. Like a complex musical chord it's got to have a smooth surface but it doesn't matter what's happening underneath. Simplicity isn't the dictum here, at all. Some westerners think it's a jumble of flavours, but to a Thai that's important, it's the complexity they delight in.“ — David
Fiery Thai cuisine
Tongue lips tingling sensation
Chilies wield their might
Tantalizing the taste buds
Feast for all the five senses
We recently visited a popular Thai restaurant. We ordered several dishes that were served incredibly spicy, especially to my palate, which is not naturally accustomed to such fiery heat. Thai cuisine is truly a universe of flavors in a dish.

Paint and Weave
Author's Notes: I rediscovered my 1980's poetry magnets box and in it were two poems I find compelling. I recall having challenged myself to create two poems using the same set of words. These two poem are what spilled out. Which one resonates more with you, version A or B? Leave it in Comments. I'd love to know your thoughts!

The Gen Z Entrepreneurial Revolution
It is hardly debatable that the world has always been run by a bunch of aging dinosaurs, mostly male, who refuse to allow the younger generation to bring about changes. Politicians and leaders everywhere refuse to release the reigns of creativity and leadership until they are dead or dying. It is time to give the young a chance to revolutionize and change the entire landscape of their existence. Those of us with one foot in the grave, so to speak, should wake up and realize that we are not the ones who will be living in the world in the years to come.
