Monsoon Cravings ~ Rain Special Blog #BirthdayBlogTrain















Monsoon is one such season which is loved by everyone. Fresh air, breezy days, cloudy skies and muddy aroma. And as the dark clouds roll in, we got some enormous cravings as well.

So, lets relish some delicious delicacies from kitchens across the country which are loved by everyone...


  • Kachori-Jalebi
Deep-fried, carbs...the kachori and jalebi are guilty on all counts. The kachori filling varies - onion, green peas, a spicy lentil or potato mix are some favourites in North India. And the jalebi - a fried syrupy snack - hot and crispy from kadhai, is a perfect ending to kachori indulgence.




  • Bhutta 
Monsoons are incomplete without getting caught in the rain and relishing some charcoal roasted bhutta with a drizzle of salt and lime. The crunch of that will make the perfect and comfortable setting on windy and rainy days.





  • Garam adrak chai
Nothing is more typically monsoon than rain soaked hair and kadak chai with extra adrak. It will also protect you with the sneezes that you got from soaked showers. Its elixir makes the rainy day even more magical with its strong aroma and is best enjoyed with hot pakodas. 




  • Assorted pakodas  
Its obvious that without pakodas, the list will be incomplete!
All you want in a typical rainy day specially in Delhi, will be a hot plate of onion, aloo and paneer pakoras with green chutney.Your stomach will be filled but your heart will want more of it! 😉 





  • Samosa
How can I forget those mouthwatering, deep fried, tempting samosa! There is something about their crunchy crust combined with pitter-patter of rain drops makes it everyone's favourite.

  • Maggi
Last but not the least, the special rainy day food which brings joy and smiles to everyone, from kids to grandparents! The 'Rain-wali Maggi', a bowl of hot and steaming masala noodles, is what you exactly want  when its raining cats and dogs.





Thank you readers for giving your time to this blog post. Hope you liked it! Enjoy this monsoon season with some delicious cravings with your loved ones! 💖

MY TOP 5 FAVOURITE AUTHORS - #TheBookBlogTrain

If you ask the readers about their favourite authors, they will probably will give you a long list of them which they adore and additionally, will pressurize you to read their works! It was difficult for me to select the top 5, as the authors i have read till now are mind blowing and I can't be partial to them. But, I have to do it so here it is.. 5 authors that have proven most influential to my growth in becoming both a better reader and also a better person  : 1. A.A. Milne Trust me, everyone has started reading with the animated characters and so have I. The first book, by which i have started reading was "Winnie the Pooh" !

Review of the Last Book I have read - "Men and Dreams in the Dhauladhar" #TheBookBlogTrain

There are some books that you instantly want to read as soon as you come across them. The reason might be the cover of the book, the title or something else. The same happened to me when I came across this book and I do not know the reason behind it. These sudden urge of reading a book are often risky because you can pick up a wrong book in this and regret it later. However, the adventure and risk are worth trying because you will learn how to choose books for reading. About the book, it's a story of 3 different people who accidentally meet each other in Dhauladhar. It all starts with the commencement of a hydro-electric project in the remote Himalayas. Nanda, Khusru and Rekha are the main characters. They all have a secret past which discreetly, they hide it from everyone. The book has a rich diversity; diversity in emotions and diversity in backgrounds. The story is not based on something stagnant. It is a story of Nanda from Kerala who is currently working in the Hima...
