Snackwallahnelle
A Villanelle Tribute to Snackwallah , an amazing Vegan Indian Streetfood Place in Newcastle Upon Tyne
Yesterday after a hospital scan I stopped off in Newcastle and for the first time since Covid hit ate at the wonderful Snackwallah in Newcastle.
I caught up with Raj and Rachel and Rachel mentioned the amazing villanelle by Sylvia Plath which you can read here, and inspired me to write this one.

Love Is
I love it when my friends and people I know are happy for whatever reason. This is for them. As this is about being happy I am gonna reuse my video of me playing my favourite Rolling Stones song "Happy" just in case you want to find out how bad I am (that is bad as in bad , not bad as in good) but you can buy the original from the link at the bottom.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

lovely piece.
Wonderful!!
That was great! I love that type of food and inspired me to try out writing a Villanelle too :)
Aah, you're naming all my favourites!! My husband's from Kerala, chana masala and kerala kadala are staples at our house. Isn't it great to be able to meet with friends for streetfood again? I agree with you, its been too long.
