Flavours worth remembering!


Its strange how one flavour of any dish is so well appreciated by our minds that to change it becomes difficult. For instance, the flavour of a certain pizza  at Pizza Express for a friend has set the benchmark for good pizzas, the pani puri of chowpatty has become the symbol for the worlds best pani puri, the Pav Bhaji at Juhu Beach makes ones mouth water. These are the benchmarks of flavours set by us after seeing how our tongues tickle at their very names. Just as the flavour of life, being so comfortable in ones zone that to get out of it takes energy and effort. It takes an extra push to move out of our comfort zone and acclimatise ourselves to a new environment or a routine. But its the new routine that sets us apart from others. The new flavour tried may taste bad at the beginning but may develop into us in no time. Like the first time I tried wine, it seemed weird and bitter, but today I seem to enjoy the bitterness and the texture of the drink. Its texture of the new things we venture into that seem to make us who we really are. The yearning to explore more and try different flavours of life just like trying different flavours of ice cream is what makes a difference. Who knew, a simple food item such as milk could be found in as many different forms as it is, and we seem to enjoy it all!!
Here's, a little poem I spun up while writing this, 

 ice creams of many flavours, 
chocolate, blueberry, and strawberry. 
I seem to find them different, 
from only product of dairy.

 In life its the same, 
not to be rigid,
try out various flavours of experiences, 
excavate the desires buried. 

 so go out there, try a flavour that you haven't ever tried before. You may not like it, or you may just explore a whole new flavour to love ... but be adventurous... you never know whats in store for you!!

Midnight Cravings!!

 After a long day at work, or just in front of a laptop I think the way to relax is to just unwind and have a glass of Chardonnay along with a nice Rom-Com on the screen. Some might say that maybe a better way would be to catch up on that book that one hasn't finished and is just wanting to read it all up. Whatever the way, but unwinding at the end of the day on a Sunday is a must right before the next week begins and the previous one comes to an end.  Its the last day of the week, when you want to just relax and maybe eat that 12:30 Am snack. As healthy as you might be, you still want that Midnight snack to be scrumptious, gooey and delicious with sugary goodness in it that satisfies the MIDNIGHT CRAVINGS! Recently I came across a recipe of a chocolate cake and boy! was it worth every bite I put in my mouth. Dark and indulgent chocolate cake warmed up for just 30 secs with a beautiful soft - sugary icing and it was heaven in my mouth at 2:30 AM in the night. People say 3am is...

Under the Coconut tree...

  Staring out of the window of the plane in these new times of flying, I wonder the difference one virus has made in all our lives. Be it any industry but we are all affected in some way or another. I just visited Goa this season and realised how the place has changed. The state claiming to be the best place for any individual at any point of the year is now seeing a lack of tourists visiting it. The Hotels and Lodges are now much calmer and quieter than before. The airport isn't as busy as it used to be. The number of two-wheelers on the streets has reduced significantly but the Vibe of the place is still the same. This year during my visit, I vowed to explore a different side of Goa, a more native & Portuguese side of it. Taking a tour across town was probably the best idea I ever had and started the tour with the oldest Portuguese Bakery in town. The 31 de Janerio Confetario located in a small alley of Panaji. In the small alley of Fortinhas, the Bakery still uses wood-fir...

The perfect Combo!

Does the value of a person truly diminish after sometime? Its strange how the claim of loving someone tends to diminish over a period of time. Its said, that love is stronger than anything in the world, but its also true that only happens in fairy tales. Any relation in life between two people seems to go through the "waxing and waning period"(quoted by a friend). Its not difficult to keep the person you love always happy by being close but by not allowing them to breathe when they require space just tends to ruin everything one has worked for. Some people just be together no matter what be the situation just like the two flavours of chocolate and strawberry.... a relationship made in heaven. But lets not forget that this combination also works only when the chocolate is of the right sweetness and the strawberry is perfectly ripe or else its a disaster. Working hard to get any two flavours together is as difficult as maintaining any kind of relationship in life. By showing y...
