Searching for Sanjeevani....

I was cleaning a bunch of keerai... aka spinach or greens...last week...
When Birthmother..
Seeing me ready to throw away the last of the bunch said with a smile:
"Don't be in a rush and throw it all away...
They say sanjeevani may lie hidden among the last leaves of the bunch..."

That set me off...
On my search for sanjeevani.....

Fortunately....
Unlike Hanuman...
I do not have to go to Mount Sumeru...
Or bring back that mountain....

To find this magical herb of Hindu mythology...
Which is capable of curing all maladies...
And can even bring the dead back to life!!!
I only have to look in the next bunch of greens...that I clean!!!!

What a clever ploy to prevent lazy ones like me...
From impatiently throwing away the tiny leaves...
But who knows??
Maybe there is something in these old wives tales!!!!

Searching for sanjeevani then...
Brings a smile to Maid's face...
As she watches me...

Sanjeevani?? she asks me and laughs!!!
Yes..I smile!!!
As I finish going through the bunch!!!

Searching for sanjeevani...
Almost made me late for work yesterday!!!

Maybe I will find it one of these days...
Only just like Hanuman....
I do not know what it looks like!!!!!
Just hope I do not toss it away!!!

Ciao!
