A Maiden's Prayer
"A Maiden's Prayer" (original Polish title: Modlitwa dziewicy
Op. 4, French: La prière d'une vierge) is a composition of Polish composer
Tekla Bądarzewska-Baranowska (born 1834 in Warsaw, died September 29, 1861 in
Warsaw), which was published in 1856 in Warsaw, and then as a supplement to the
Revue et gazette musicale de Paris in 1859. The piece is a medium difficulty
short piano piece for intermediate pianists. Some have liked it for its
charming and romantic melody: others have described it as "sentimental
salon tosh." The pianist and academic Arthur Loesser described it as
"this dowdy product of ineptitude."

Marijuana laced coffee
PS
On the long lorry transport routes in Sri Lanka, there are way side boutiques called ' Rae Kadeys' - Night shops. Long distance drivers stop at these night shops to stretch their legs and have refreshments. Quite a few of these shops have an item called 'Gun coffee' - Coffee laced with Ganja - Marijuana. These shops are more prevalent in the Uva and Eastern provinces of Sri Lanka. Marijuana use is illegal in Sri Lanka. I have heard that the leaves of the Marijuana plant are crushed and sprinkled over an Omelette during its cooking. It is also used in a fruit drink called 'Sabji', prepared in some Muslim homes in eastern Sri Lanka. which is served to a couple on their wedding night.
