Kulfi...fiestaaa!!!!


It’s almost time to leave from office (yet another hour to go though) and I was hungry and we don’t have an in-house cafeteria yet so usually we have to call for snacks from outside. This time though we planned to go out at a nearby bhel-puri joint and eat something.
There’s this excellent bhel puri joint nearby and eat nice ragda…yummy umm. Its awesome to eat chaat in the rains. And most of us have tried chaats in the rains… but has anyone ever tried having kulfi ??! hehehe I did…just now. The stall that I went to eat chaat at, has some special Kulfi’s too on the menu!
It’s been a childhood favorite and I still remember having kulfi’s from the kulfiwala who used to come outside our school when the school got over. And given a chance who wouldn’t like to have a taste of it??! Neither could I resist the urge to eat kulfi when I got to know that Kulfi’s are available here . So I quickly gobbled down the Ragda and then got kulfi. Now since I was out during office hours, it is not advisable that I spend a lot of time outside office during office hours, so instead of finishing the Kulfi at the joint, I decided to eat it, walking back to office.
I am sure it must have been looking really funny...for most people would want to drink nice hot chai in such a weather. It’s was drizzling and I was eating the kulfi……wow!!! What an amazing feeling:D. The temperature has been really low for the past few days and that helped keeping the kulfi from melting down. :D woooooooooohooo!
Now that was a refreshing break!!!
[for those who don’t know what Kulfi mean: it is our own Indian Ice-cream, made out of milk, cream, some dry fruits. Its’ molded in long conical moulds and set on a reasonable thick cut bamboo stick or softwood stick]

Yo! I love the rains.................

It’s been raining over the past three days and it really feels good to see the weather get so pleasant (those who don’t like the rains…..Pardon me!).

The sky’s overcast, rain drizzling and a slight breeze caressing the fresh green leaves of the trees around…..birds flying helter skelter….and a soft aroma of drenched soil and wild grass filling the air….vehicles passing splashing water logged on the roads…hmmmmmmmmmm!.

Office saw most people arriving in late (yes! You guessed it….it’s the rains). The first thing at office was, a nice hot chai from anna’s tapree right across the street……what a start to the day!

It’s been a roller coaster ride today morning….it was raining all the way….some places witnessing water logging lead traffic snarls the others had scary skid-prominent-spots, Street signals gone berserk and the traffic cops paying no heed to either :)

I got partially drenched in rain…but I don’t mind since I really enjoy getting wet in the rain. My helmet keeps the rain drops from hurting my face and blurring vision while driving, so I enjoy the rain without worrying about getting into an accident. I took this extra precaution of wearing a sweater underneath my raincoat (it kinda gets chilly when it’s raining and you are driving even if at a minimal speed of 40kmph. (Though I think some people might consider even that high considering the rain…but that’s ok the Pune way!)

It’s been tad chilly since morning and I haven’t dared to turn the AC on….aaah.. I guess I need another chai!
