Mysterious Mithai












Today my senior editor got a small box of the most unconventional sweets. They were shaped like white plastic bars, three of them placed side by side in the tiny box.They seemed to be wrapped in translucent plastic sheets. Inside those plastic-looking wrapping were the most delicious fillings made in desi ghee. The most unique thing about this mithai was that there was no need to chew it. All you have to do is place it on your tongue and it would melt like butter spreading the rich, delicious sweetness all over. It melted like heaven with the sweetest taste. Wish I could know the name of this mithai, and where to get it.
(PS: This mithai is called 'khaja'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khaja)

Weekend Outs


So every weekend I have been doing something new.Couple of weeks back went to TC- Turquoise Cottage, Saket. Went there with crazy hard rock fan friend. We arrived at 12 midnight at TC. DJ was playing the loudest imaginable jamming, sounds crashing walls reaching a final crescendo before dying down and mushing into romantic love songs. But the few minutes we went there, were filled with death metal jamming, finest we heard in long time, thanks to DJ. Booze is affordable. The music a treat for hard rock genre lovers and the crowd young and grooving. Last weekend I took a different set of friends only to meet with a huge sign saying 'CLOSED'. Oh come on!!! we love that place, besides that TC stamp on my wrist sure gets a lot of attention for the next few days.
