Weekend masti..weekend thrills!!

It's really a long time I was rolled out of laughter this weekend. We had a sound and exciting plan in order to treat my roommate’s friend who is coming from Hyd to Pune.

On Saturday Afternoon, we first went to Mc Donald’s; as usual had a yummy combo food there and moved to MG road for shopping! Now this MG road has got a hell number of shops which tempt all the gals to buy more n more things. We roamed over only a few shops and done with our shopping as we did not have much time. Next, we started to a place called CHOWKI DHAANI (an ethical Rajasthani village) which is 15kms far away from our home. We are total five in number, as we dint book any cab before, we had to go by an auto-rickshaw to save our time. We reached at around 6'0 clock in the evening!

It is located in a remote place called wagoly, and we need to go very inside of that place. Then we started worrying about going back from there. As soon as we entered, guards welcomed us with funny sayings Ram Ram Sa..Ram ram Ji..

As the name meant, Chokhi Dhani –" a small beautiful hamlet" , has maintained its rich art, traditional look and culture image with its host of Folk Dances- Ghoomer, Kalbelia,Bhopa Bhopi,Chaupal, etc….Village Artisans too show case their skills with the depiction of Kumbhar, Lohar,etc… There are many things to enjoy, so we planned to complete covering all parts in exactly four hours and we had to leave by 10 P.M sharp.

We had a great fun there; we went to camel riding, horse riding, horoscope, magic show. We had jeera juice, tasty snacks, and colored tattoos. We played many games, swung on cradles and had mehandi. The interesting part is Rajasthani typical dances. Their dances are completely traditional and

It will not be worthy and complete if I miss describing about the delicious food.

Generally, Rajasthani curries seem brilliant red but they are not as spicy as they look. The people use pure ghee to make the most Rajasthani cuisine as the medium of cooking. A favorite sweet dish called lapsi is prepared with broken wheat sauted in ghee and sweetened.

for them perhaps the best-known Rajasthani food is the combination of dal, batti and churma but for the adventurous travelers like us, willing to experiment, there is a lot of variety available.Be it dal batti and churma or missi roti , one always ends up licking his/her fingers. Besides, each region is distinguished by its unique popular sweet - Mawa Kachori, Alwar ka Mawa, Malpuas, Rasogullas, Ghevar to name a few.

For foodies like me, I am always fond of eating food cooked in ghee, cheese, butter and milk and they are famous for its mouth-watering aroma. But the people who serve food there makes our tummies scream No more!! But they won't stop!!

We were too exhausted to go back, we were pretty scared as the time was 10.30, we have to go till Station and we could not find any auto rickshaws outside. We ran to reception and pleaded them to arrange a cab. Finally we got a six seater auto-rickshaw which drops us till main road. But fortunately we requested that uncle to drop till Aerwada from where we can easily get transport to Station. The uncle is pretty sweet as he could chase a bus for us which goes to our home directly :) :)

That's not the end!

I will certainly come up with another post to jot down the Sunday’s feats!!

Cheers

Death by Chocolate

I am glad to indite again about chocolates on my blog!!


Adding to my weekend thrills, yesterday Tarun and I have gone to city for some work and after finishing it, to fill our paunches :P , we went to a bakery. While stepping into the bakery, I started eyeing on Death by chocolate. It is a mouth watering cake enriched with dark brown color, three layered chocolate where it is floated in a chocolate sauce.. :) It looked too appetizing and tempted us to order. Actually when the waiter brought it, Tarun said that the plate was too beautiful :) but he came to know that it is not plate, it is chocolate sauce when he touched it. We really enjoyed eating and licking it. :) :) and I just loved it and I wanna die for it.

Now, one more is added to my menu!! Life is like a box of chocolates - full of nuts!

my tips for dieting:

  • Don't ever eat one chocolate, have two!! you feel better.
  • Drink 4-5 glasses of chocolate sauce every day and improve your figure.
  • Have a chocolate shake before sleeping.


Death by Chocolate sings - "If I must die, let it be death by chocolate"

Cheers!!

weekend,movies and coke float!!

so, though this weekend was big ( 3 days ), it ended up in the above three words.
Saturday started very late with a stupid Bengali movie, I don't know why do they make such a pointless and weird movies (forget it, I cannot express my feelings towards it as I was dumbstruck) and this was the very first time I felt that I wasted my precious time by watching it. :P don't ask me the name, better ask Tarun (as he said that was a super hit movie :P). No more comments on it. whhhhhoooaaa...
and Sri fell down in front of a shop due to giddiness!! we spent the day in taking care of her. :) :)
god bless you!! :) :)
Sunday---next day, nothing special, went to MC. Donald's and had tasty foood over there with coke float...a standard order: french fries + coke float @ MC.Donald's. I'm loving it :) :)
again the next and last day of the weekend started with Nair's republic day flag..,
and went to Big Cinemas for Raaz a terrible movie though I was sitting in between Tarun and Deepender.., I screamed, cried and ran from the theatre finally :) :) its indeed an okay type movie where Imran Hashmi for the first time in his life has played a pretty good role.., some scenes expected, a few unexpected!!!
and from there, again we had food at the same place and the same coke float @ MC.Donald's!!!
Next comes shopping..., big bazaar sounded badly with hell many offers, people rushed, people hurried, people got screwed up in standing on the line for quite a few minutes.
And then, we moved back to our homes blabbering, commenting on the movie, people and what not??
so, such is life, such is weekend, they do come slow yet they get over fast.

Cheers!!!
