Icy moments

Last evening, on a shopping spree in Raania's paternal hometown of Jaipur, we decided to treat ourselves to ice- lollies- the magnificent barf ka gola. Oooh and what a treat it was right from the word - ice.. As the 'bhaiyyaji' shaved off the sumptuous brick of ice (hubby decided to look the other way all through my misdemeanour) and patted it into shape, my mouth had already started watering imagining the many flavours plastered across the signboard. Finally I settled for a mix of Rose and kala khatta. The amazing masala added onto the ice cone made it even more enjoyable as I slurped up the delicious bit of ice and liquid down to the tiniest speck! Hubby of course, laughed all through and Raania looked positively amused seeing her normally stolid mum melt like the ice herself into a puddle of enjoyment. Oh, for life's silly small joys!
