Nostalgic foods

There are certain sweets and chocolates that I had experienced when I was young. One among these is , Poppins about which I have already written on. Apart from this, there are a lot more that I got to have when I was young. Do you remember katcha mango chocolate, which I am not able to see frequently nowadays but i think it is still in the market like poppins. This chocolate would be packed in green colour rapper and the candy itself is in green colour. You get a juicy sweetness when you have it. It used to be like , two chocolates for one rupee which means a candy was 50 paise. Most of the small shops will have this in a plastic box placed in the front itself and we get it if the shopkeeper or we don't have change. I can never forget the taste of it because it always stays as a demand within me and my friends.

How many of you had this? This is popularly called 'tube ice'. You get one stick for 5- 10 rupees. This is basically an ice filled in a pack with colours added to it. They are not good for health because it's ice, if we have it regularly but yes at times it is good, especially during the summer. After having a nice street cricket match, with all the hard work put into bowling and batting strategies, more than playing it takes time for us to collect the ball that falls into neighbours' houses every time. For this interesting match we await summer vacation. 


Many more like elantha vadai ( meaning this tamarind sweet) and these honey balls which we call 'thean mittai'. They are always sweet memories and very tasty too.

Do you remember this one rupee packet called 'kids fun'. They taste similar to these corn puffs that we get and this packet costs only one rupee but it will be filled. 


The reason that I took this topic today is because my friend after her native trip brought back a sweet that was her memory. It was cube shaped and the taste of eating these balls felt like it was made of roasted gram with ghee on to it. Anything it may be, that was very delicious, slipped easily into my mouth.

My morning 'Kappi' ☕

-
Friends! Have you ever felt anything while waiting for your coffee? That too early in the morning. Coffee lovers would surely know the pleasantness in this beverage. I am a coffee lover but I also like to have tea. But if you give me it as an option, sorry but I will have to surely take coffee's side. I took this topic today because my morning coffee is actually still staying in my tongue despite having a tasty lunch. That's how much I loved my coffee today and definitely I have to give credits to my granny. Thank you Avva! ( mean- granny in Telugu) I woke up around 6:30am today and you know my alarm today was the invigorating coffee which my granny was casually preparing it for me. I have no experience in bed coffee so I as usual brushed my teeth and took time in relaxing and saw the slow approaching coffee cup to me which completely woke me up from my sleep. You have to definitely imagine this scene, where the approaching coffee when shot in slow motion that is done movies, i...

Lamp lights in the home 🪔

-
 My home was actually bright with the presence of lamps. 'Diya' or 'vilakku' , we commonly call it. This practice of lighting the diyas in the home is something I encountered from my childhood. How as children we used to enjoy the diwali, this was also one of the common festival celebrated. We call it Karthigai deepam . It's true that we don't get an holiday for this festival but still this brings us a feel of joy while we light the lamp inside our home. I still wonder why this festival is celebrated because like how there are stories for celebrating diwali according to Hindu mythology, there must be a story for this festival too but I have no idea on what is the story because my mind was completely concentrating on lighting the lamp and safeguarding it from the wind. You know, it's really hard to do it because this festival is celebrated during the month of Karthigai , considered to be the eighth month according to Tamil calendar and December month accord...

Jilebi dilemma 🫠

-
 Today I was looking into cooking videos in YouTube. My friend would often tell that once she had only foodie videos suggested on her Instagram because I was watching it for few minutes. You all know how Instagram reels work, right! I like watching foodie videos and there is temptation created when you see the dish getting prepared and that will on one side enhance your hunger and on other hand will also feel a satisfaction. So today I was watching it as usual and one reel on my suggestion was one woman making a sweet and this reminded me of making jilebi for diwali. You know its actually not very easy to make jilebi. You need all scribbling skills to bring out a perfect tangled sweet and it will look awesome, seriously.  I actually kept this title for different purpose but I was diverted to food because you know i like food. We all love food for sure! I said this because I wanted to share that today my mind was actually occupied with various thoughts. Actually I was watching ...
