A SUMMER FULL OF PICTURES
Day 35: 23rd June 2015
Day 33: 21st June 2015
Discovering thinking places with my dog, and finally
forgiving him for the bite.
Day 28: 16th June 2015
Something great to do on a blazing hot day.
And I fell only once B)
Day 26: 14th June 2015
One of the best things about Delhi is it’s eating joints and
cafes. It’s not just about the appetizing food, but also the inviting
restaurant. Each place has its own flavour; a Bollywood theme, a Hollywood one,
a beach theme, junk theme, biker’s café, trains, etc etc, you name it, and you
have it. That's where Delhi's young heart lies - innumerable social spots.
Day 25: 13th June 2015
Delhi’s first showers <3
Day 23: 11th June 2015
Homemade ready made cheesecake.
Look at that beauty! Such satisfaction after the
previous failure.
Day 21: 9th June 2015
Day 19: 7th June 2015
My stupid sisters and me – Movies night!
What a movie, Zodiac! A true story about the Zodiac Killer
stretched over about 20 years. In spite of it not being a RomCom, it kept us
glued for 3 long goddamn hours, completely worth it! So us three kids, changed our
regulars to – one thriller followed by endless series of stupid RomComs.
Day 13: 1st May 2015
For some reason parents still don't think we can take criticism that well, yet.
Day 12: 30th May 2015
No Gypsy, we won’t leave you behind
Day 11: 29th May 2015
And I thought I was the younger one
Mum, Dad and me went for the Friday unlimited pizza offer at
Pizza Hut and returned with this.
One slice of pizza + pizza sides(for gypsy) + tissue papers + 3 slices of garlic bread (Courtesy - MOM DAD)
Who said they could scam us with that stupid pretentious offer?
Day 10: 28th May 2015
Reliving bachpaan
Day 9: 27th May 2015
BAAM it’s result time
Bread - cut the sides - Cheese Slice - Salamis - Roll the bread - Put it on the tava along with butter. There, have a perfectly unhealthy plate full of yummy
Day 8: 26th May 2015
Curry falls and We eat the Brick Cake
A piece of me died inside when I saw Curry have a 5/6 feet fall, it was a sad moment and sad day, followed by the biggest failure of my cooking career. Over baking, too much flour, less milk, less butter,
everything was messed up! Mango pulp, Old Monk and custard helped us come around the rock hard cake finally.
Catching up more than required
What the hell are we going to talk about the next time?
Day 6: 24th May 2015
Mustardgasm *dreamy eyes*
Oh yes, that’s was the highlight of the day. This sacred,
scrumptious, succulent, stunning sauce enriching a simple, soulless day and
making it spectacular :D
Day 5: 23rd May 2015
Awrtsomeness!
Deceiving people. Also, making them believe this is something only super creative people can pull off.
Day 4: 22nd May 2015
#CurrysRiddle
What a crazy match! Was it Golden State’s go wild on court,
or Rocket’s screwing up for themselves at the defense line that got the victory.
Whatever it be, GS converted their weaknesses to opportunities, and made the
match a treat to watch.
Day 3: 21st May 2015
On my way to get acquainted.
Meeting her for the first time today. She smells good. Her
scent and beauty resembles that of Manipal. I am with her only for a few hours
today. She seems a bit chaotic, yet organized, or maybe it’s too soon to judge,
but the one thing I am sure of is that it’s going to be an adventure with her
in the month of July.
Day 2: 20th May 2015
Just last minute things. Breakfast at the beach, watching gsw blow minds, rice and dal fry, realizing I have no confirmed ticket, watching my mastermind plans of surprising shattering, watching people sleep away, bha, just the usual errands before leaving.
Day 1: 19th May 2015
Almost as ghostly as it can get.
The recipe for the perfect last day: chilling, great food and the last bit of partying.
Day 0: 18th May 2015
Forgetting today’s exam.It's are over, and that’s what matters. It’s packing mode now, bitches! Yep, getting done with the much delayed affair, but the last of it, to get released into the world of loosening and partying for the next 2 months.

Pinball
Imagine a pinball board fixed inclined, like the coin-operated ones in arcades. Now imagine a silver ball at the top of the board, on the verge of being released into the pool of pins on the board. Replace those pins with blobs of paint of a variety of colours, and gently release your silver ball from the top of the board. It clings, clangs with the various blobs of paint, stealing a bit of paint from each strike and out comes a beautiful multi-coloured ball, splashed with all shades of colours. That's how dreams are made. The coloured pins are completely random memories or thoughts stored in our brain database, and the silver ball is the dream you are creating. The ball scoops a little of one memory, and another, and another to form a crazy unimaginable story which you sometimes remember in the morning. But, in reality, these scoops are simply disjoint fragments from you RAM(Random Access Memory), and our morning subconscious mind creates a path to try to make sense of it. That, for you, is how we dream!

Gujarat - Prologue
Before the trip begins, let me tell you a little bit about Gujarat.
1. Gujarat is a beautiful state. Gujarat is, in my opinion, the most diverse state in India; desert, beaches, dense forests, three prime habitats packed in one state.
Sharing its border with Rajasthan in the North, Gujarat has an arid landscape with patches of kekar, and offers its scenic beauty with the famous Rann of Katch, the white desert. Heading towards South, Gujarat is encrusted with cotton fields, salt pans and windmills. As you move down the road with salt and cotton for company one feels maybe this is why Gandhi choose Gujarat for heralding self sufficiency for the nation. South is covered with thick green forests and beautiful clean beaches on the west.
2. Gujarat is not a very touristy place. On the roads, it takes a lot of effort to find decent restaurants to halt at. It is not just the toilets that are bad, but the food is indigestible! So the one place you should look out for is HONEST. HONEST is everywhere. In Gujarat, HONEST is happiness.
3. Gujaratis LOVE sugar. Gujaratis are extremely sweet people, and this is reflected in their food. Sabsji, chutney, daal, nothing goes unadulterated. Everything must have sugar! Gujarat is one of the top producers of salt in India, but its seems as though they don't use it themselves!
Being a foodie, I wished to try food from every corner but this enthusiasm died in two days. After the fourth day we were just desperate to eat ghar ka sada khana!
Must try : Thepla, Chas, Dabeli, sweet Daal
However difficult it may be to digest the food, a Gujarat trip is incomplete without these!
4. Gujarat is a dry state. Whether that's a good thing or not is debatable. The sweetness in Gujaratis might be an indirect effect of the dryness, or it might just be a trait they are born with. But the funny part is, Diu district is wet (Diu is a union territory of India). Our visit to Diu was short, and the number of drunk people there was just amusing. Diu is a holiday home for Gujaratis and it's their paradise.
5. Gujarat is a Holy Land - Dwarka, one of the four dhams (pilgrimage sites in India widely revered by Hindus) situated in the west of the Gujarat state, is believed to be the dwelling place of Lord Krishna. We lost count of the Mandirs we stopped at.
6. Chakdas - All-purpose three wheeled vehicle with the front of a Royal Enfield attached to a cart. Gujaratis don't run Chakdas, Chakdas run Gujaratis! If there was such a thing as as a state vehicle, for Gujurat it would undoubtedly be the Chakda! It is used everywhere for almost everything from transporting goods to school kids. It can accommodate up to 30 people and is painted with psychedelic colours. This beautiful creation accompanies you all throughout the state, and is a lovely treat to the eyes.
Other than that, Gujarat is a birder's paradise, Lion's den, Gandhi's love, Modi's land. The six day trip was whiff through this vast Gujjuland, and here's a small glimpse of our trip :)

Dabeli : pav with sweet and spicy chutney
drizzled with pomegranates, grapes, onions
Cost : Rs 10/-
