| Sinful Indulgence in a beaker |
One more of the weekend jaunts... we went to this place called Sandy's Chocolate Laboratory.This is one of the best places in Chennai for desserts especially the chocolate kind.You can also order main course like pizza etc.What I tried there was the dark chocolate milk shake. It was extremely rich and yummy,and very good for the bulging waistline .They served it in a beaker.They are located in the rutland gate 4th avenue Chennai.Check out the pic. |
| Weekend Exploits |
M2, a friend and me went to this place called Cream Centre at College road. They currently have a Hyderabad Mumbai food fest. For starters we tried the 'chut-patti chaat from the streets of Mumbai'. The starters were awesome with large portion sizes. I tried the sabu dana vada, which was just right for my palate. It was not too spicy and it had the crunchy exterior. Next we had the Bambaiya Ragda their signature dish and dahi puri.This was yummy and filling too. We washed this down with iced tea. We were so full with the starters that we could not do justice to the main course.For main course we gorged on their vegetable satellite sizzler,Chana Batura and of course the mother of all biryanis the hyderababi dum biryani.This was one of the best biryanis we had in recent times. The biryani was presented in an earthen pot and was covered with a roti.Do check the place out. Fest on till 20th March. And check out the pictures. |
| Ire of Fire-A Fire Accident |
![]() Early this morning ,I woke up to the sound and smell of the fury of fire literally.The choke in the tube light burst and burnt up the lift in our apartment.There was so much smoke that I could hardly breathe.This accident could have turned dangerous if my dad and husband did not douse the flames with water at the right time.Hats off to their efforts.The others in the apartment did not want to go near the flame,because it was sparked off by electricity and they did not want to be electrocuted.I was shaking so much because I was worried sick for my mother who had not come out.The fire service personnel just came and left without doing anything much and they came so late.Later the lift inspectors still found some burning embers left from the accident.What callousness.I just witnessed the tip of the iceberg of a fire accident...it was a harrowing experience. We did not have fire extinguishers set up to deal with fire.We did not have a separate fire exit.I don't think any of us had any expertise or knowledge to handle such a situation.We were all sitting ducks.What a pathetic situation to be in.Thank god it didn't turn out to be a catastrophe,thanks to my dad and husband for saving the day.It was their quick thinking and guts that doused the flames.Finally thanks to the Lord of destruction for saving us from one.Life is so fragile,anything can happen anytime. |
