Honey-Ginger-Lemon Tea and Elma's

It was in college, 4 years ago when one day the coffee machine broke down and I was offered to have a cup of lemon tea instead of normal tea by the manservant. I am not a tea fan but it was an immensely cold winter day so I had to have it just to kill the cold which was killing me. That was the time the lemon tea synced in completely with my taste buds and my new affection for lemon tea discovered.
And then I found this place- Elma’s Café in Hauz Khas village, Delhi.  They have almost all varieties of cakes, teas, scones, breads, sandwiches, and fresh juices which a café is generally comprised of. It’s a small café that plays Jazz all the time and changes the mood completely plus the ambience is a replica of a local European Tea Room with mini toy crockery adorned on the shelves mainly tea-cups, saucers, tea-pots, sugar bowl and pitcher.  With the exclusive surroundings of the place, the best thing I found was of course the honey-ginger-lemon tea which was a modified version of my common lemon tea.  As the name says itself it’s a unique combination of tea with a savor of ginger in it, honey is optional, one can have it with sugar too. Another great component is the scones which we get with cream and raspberry jam, which synchronizes with the teas of this place.And lastly my all time favorite a slice of red velvet cake which is not very sweet or less sweet, it’s just the right taste as I am allergic to too much sweet especially when it comes to cakes and cookies.
So if you are a tea or cake lover, do visit this place. I am sure you’ll love it!

Trek to Triund!

The journey: We started off on the 1 st  October night from Delhi to Dharamshala without knowing the consequences of going by a private Volvo. The bus timing was 8:30 PM but we got the first blow of the trip in the very beginning by leave-taking 1 hour late from Delhi. All thanks to the extensive weekend the route showed the worst side of it. Our first holdup!  Meanwhile we got engaged in chit-chatting and realized it was already midnight. At 1 AM the bus stopped up at a local dhabha for dinner and we had dal makhani and Chapati. We took a nap and woke up to a massive jam at the toll gate followed by countless vehicles behind us. It was 5 AM already, after waiting for almost for one and a half hour we stepped down the bus in order to find out where the driver was. We walked for about 5-10 minutes and observed a queue full of drivers, in amidst the line up stood our driver all worn out. We came back to the bus to notify the uninformed aggravated public and after about two and a h

Epitomizing 3 chapters of my life in a poetry

"I think of the time when I was young, the songs and compositions i sung. Childhood memories and all that fun, seems like it is unequivocally done. Then came my college days, to get trained and compete the race. But i'am not yet over with all the craze, Just as the fun I did by many possible ways. Now is the tragic phase of life, where money and success is all we thrive. House to live in, car to drive accomplishing tasks, dead or alive..."   I composed this one day while sitting in my office thinking of life and how it has fast-forwarded from the time when I was in school, this life has taught me many things and out of all odd judgments I wrote a recitation of my own. There are not only "three" phases but more, I wrote three here is because I have lived these phases, other phases may come in future if I continue to write like this. Thank You Keep rhyming!

Let's make 2013 more productive..

Since last two days I have been thinking as how I failed to put up nothing on my blog just nothing in the last 3 months. I promised myself to put pictures on my blog and then wanted to feel elated but to be candid enough I can't tell how displeased I am with myself. I wouldn't say I was tied up with job or something else as I am aware of the fact that I am not the only human who's working. There are plethora of people who are writing everyday I know they may be more busy than I am. So, as I admit my defaulted manner of not dedicating to my blog I would like to start the new year with this resolution as to be regular and be part of my blog in advancing time. Today morning, while I was thinking about not being regular in the car, going to work from my blatant usual way when I started experimenting with my camera and tried learning the new technique behind taking that perfect picture in the out and out perfect light which is flawless. I didn't realize what I clicked unt
