Jalebis



I had jalebis after ages today.With milk.Period.They tasted yum.We usually have the jhaangri at home, which is the south indian twist of good ol'jalebis. They taste quite different and are more bright orange,almost red, laced with sugar.Jalebis remind me of granny asking us to have jilobi with samosas whenever we had guests over. Thats the funny way she pronounces it. Anyways today thanks to my bro who desired to have the crisp jalebis ,who despises jhaangri,we all got to savour this amazing sweet at home.Of course we bought it from a local halwai,who is the best here.I also remembered the Dhaara advertisement with young Parzan Dastur who runs away from home and returns to the lure of fresh jalebis at home.So much for a jalebi.

Blogging: a luxury

Hi all,
I am writing my first official blog on blogosphere and I am feeling as if suddenly a huge medium is opened in front of me. I mean,blogs have been around for quite some time,but its a feeling of discovering something new that every first timer would experience.
It was the last day of the Ganesha festival in Mumbai today.As I write this,I can hear firecrackers bursting nearby where the last of the idols would be immersed for this year. We also keep the idol of Ganpati at home and immerse it after a day. This year Dad made the idol at home which was the most beautiful part of the festival for me. Although it wasn't the latest eco-friendly idol,i hope we will make it there next year. He made it with PoP,and it came out beautifully. We painted it with water colors and when it was all done,we felt as though the idol was family. You might think I am getting too emotional,but that's how it was. Next year I am planning to attend one of those workshops ,where they teach you to make eco-friendly ones at home.
