Mausam ke Rang

The weather never ceases to amaze me. When it is sunny in the winters and raining in the hill stations, isn't it the best feeling?!?
Only the rain today made me come back to my writing, jitna thoda-bahut likh leti hu :)
So, thanks to the mast mausam and requests from few of my friends who were waiting for my next poem. And, here it goes:

Mausam ke Rang

Yeh mausam bhi anokhi cheez hai
Kab banta hai, kab bigadta hai
Jane kaise har rang badalta hai

Kahin to hai sunehri dhup, kahin Chhaya hai, kabhi nabh me hota hai baadlon ka dera, toh kabhi hota hai ghanghor andhera

Yeh raat aur din ka chakravyuh bhi kiski samajh me aya hai

Yeh mausam bhi anokhi cheez hai

Par anokhi to main bhi kam nahi
Mausam aur main ek jaise hi to Hain

Main bhi khilti hu, jaise khilti hai dhoop
Aur sab jagmaga jata hai

Jab Main roothti hu, to bas hota hai sannata
Jaise Toofan ke pahle ki khamoshi
Aur koi kuch nahi Kar pata

Jab main barasti hu, to rukne ka naam nahi leti, jaise barsaat

Baarish mein jaise chamakti h bijli, utni hi kadak aur utni hi garjana ke sath

Phir mere hi aansuon ki tarah, jab girti h saawan ki wo pahli boond, mann ko thandak pad jati hai, Dil halka ho jata h

Main aur mausam ek jaise hi toh hain
Kab bigadte hain, kab ban jate hai
Jane kaise yeh rang badal jate hain

Chennai Food and Truck Festival 2018

The day I had planned for a long time finally arrived yesterday.
And it was absolutely awesome!!

Food is best enjoyed with friends, and I went with my Foodie Gang - Mehak, Krishnapriya and Aakansha. The Chennai sun was a little merciful on us. It was a bright and cheery. The place was a delight for any food lover.

We had reached early, and we decided to start our food journey with.....any guesses???
With desserts <3<3<3  People like us with sweet tooth always starts backwards :))

The first round was Banoffe and Nutella waffles. They were great, melting in the mouth kind. Nutella waffles were really amazing. Nutella never lets you down. We were eyeing so many stalls, with our mouths watering and stomachs growling. Maybe it was just me, but whatever!!



We planned to purchase food coupons for the rest of the stalls, with our meal course all planned in our minds. The next stop was the all time fave Chaat Stall. We gorged on the Bhelpuri Sev Chaat (Kolkata style) - the best Chennai can provide. This was accompanied by my Aloo must have - Spring Potatoes on a skewer with mayo and chilli sauce. We had a little sparring match to see who gets the most of it. Next we headed for Veg Pasta, creamy white sauce. Although it was not at par, but it was really filling. After that we went excitedly to the gola shop, selling golas in myriad of colours. I quenched my thirst with my go-to flavour Kaala Khatta with jaljeera. And it was heavenly, although we raced against the sun to have our chuski before it melts away. We failed but it was still the best drink to cheer on. We took a short break. We sat in the shade talking, munching, taking unlimited number of photos & selfies,  singing songs in our melodious voice.



Gaining our energy back, we continued. For the Grand Finale, we had to finish with a delicious dessert. So it was a handsome guy from the crepe and pancakes stall who caught our eyes. :P
Don't worry! I am talking about the yum food which he was serving. The Strawberry and Nutella Crepes were to die for. We had three portions and that says a lot.



So with our bellies full and few more pictures later, we decided to call it a day.And what an amazing day it was!!! The taste is still there in my mouth. Just kidding people :P

Goodbye until next time!
And here is a Food for Thought :))
