MOHINA

Absolutely delighted after I came across this advertisement…

It has brought back many scenes from my childhood…

I don’t remember but either one of our relatives or my maternal grandma had introduced the complan drink to me…

I never liked the taste of complan until unless the chocolate flavored one came out…

But as many other kids I have liked this ad and used to mimic the girl…

Wonder what I could have said to my mother…same line …that Iam growing mommy…

My mommy was so nice to me. she had always gave me her relaxing, beautiful and hearty smile, whenever I did such comic acts…I think all mothers are like that only..

She is still nice to me…and mom I’m just rekindling my childhood moments with you…love you…

* Night jasmine plant which is across my study room flashed in my mind….

* The never ending hustle bustle of daily chores churned me for a few seconds…

* “Seven habits of highly effective people “pages swirled for another few seconds…

* Naina lal kidwai, the first Indian woman to graduate from Harvard Business School, is one of India’s best bankers….

* I wanted to drink the warm water with a dash of honey and lemon squeezed into it…

* I wanted to taste the custard apple which is lying on the countertop …

* I wanted to dance like a peacock happily showing off her reddish-brown wings each quilted with a purple eyespot…

* The thought of beautiful rich burgundy colored  four ‘o ‘clock flowers and the guava tree at my parents’ home …
 
* Glimpses of those fallen parijata flowers flaunting their red stems up while the white petals are busy in kissing the ground at my parents’ home…

* I felt serenity is slipping me completely into the hands of transcendentalism ….

                       Today while I was doing meditation, the above elite intellections had surrounded me and moulded my mind into a calm, cool and beautiful oasis…

                                         I woke up to again another foggy winter morning which stirred my thoughts and Delhi appeared in my mind. Starting off my day with a cuppa of earlgrey tea in the misty winter mornings of Delhi is a still life picture in my mind. I must say the tangerine color which comes with the dipping of earlgrey teabags in water and the sweet and somewhat scented aroma was very much appealed to all my senses.

                                            However My love with tea doesn’t stop with earlgrey savor.  I favored multi flavors of tea at various times ranging from Japanese flower teas to Antioxidants rich herbal teas to our very own masala chai. Whenever I got flu in winters, my mom used to give me Sonti tea. And it works. Iam still following this traditional method to get rid off the flu. Sonti is nothing but ginger in dried form.

                                          These days Iam sipping Good Earth sweet n spicy Herbal Tea. It contains no sugar, caffeine, artificial colors or preservatives. It is a natural source of antioxidants. And no wonder it includes all natural healing herbs.

                                           This tea is a blend of Red Rooibos, Chicory Root, Rosehips, Cinnamon, Peppermint, Lemongrass, Papaya, Chamomile, Panax Ginseng Leaves, Anise Seed, Ginger Root, Dandelion Root, Orange Peel and Orange Oil. Wow…What an exciting list of Ingredients.
