A very unusual heavy rainy day. I'm amazed and calm and freaked out at the same time watching the rainfall. I'm fond of the rainy season out of all seasons . I feel a certain attraction towards it, when it's raining. I feel calm and most importantly I cannot stop writing. I write about loneliness, sadness, doom feelings and so I did today in the afternoon. I wrote a poetry on two lovers seperated from each other due to life's obligations and workloads. The life situations doesn't let them spark a flame with each other... I felt towards this sense like so deep and words came out of their own and I can't wait to upload it on my Instagram for you guys! I made lunch and we let Mishti play in water like for an hour because she is such a water-freak baby girl. She roams around the house asking for water all the time.. not to drink but just to play and transfer and pour water from one glass to another and then ultimately drowning herself all in water from top to bottom. she is just an amazing personality believe me! I Love her a lot ! So after all these stuff happening in the afternoon - Preparing Lunch, Changing Mishti, Watching rain, writing poem, eating meal etc... I then took a nap promising myself only for max 30 mins but unknowingly streched it to a whole long 2-hour power giving nap. LOL!
In the evening my brother (Mannu Bhaiya) planned to take us to LouLou cafe nearby in his city of all curve bent roads and glamorous mountains. I like LouLou cafe so much. And this was the first time, mummy was visiting this cafe, so this has to go just perfect. Actually this cafeteria is known for it's continental food like Thai, Japanese, Chinese .. and to list a few. Plus the ambience here is so cozy and you just have to immerse yourself in this deep silence. The service, the nature, the behaviour of these waiters and serving people, the manager himself are so the cream of a cake...it's like a smooth pastry that melts in your mouth...
So as planned we all got ready and went to LouLou cafe. As the first step we enter into the cafe, they greeted us like we are their family members. And when they see Mishti, everyone around in the cafe sticks their eyes on that baby girl. coz simply she is a honeypot. she is so interactive, so playful and easy-going kid. She steals everyone hearts. And we all sitting at our chairs, watching Mishti playing around with everyone left us all chukkled a bit. We ordered quite a few things like French fries, Potato starch beetroot dumplings, Tampura Enoki sushi, Caramel Latte, Coconut cheesecake, Not your basic spring rolls and Mango sticky rice. Everything was going great, till we had our first bite of Tampura Enoki sushi stuffed with mushroom fillings. The overall taste of that sushi was such a bad experience.. mumma somehow managed to not spill it out. Like I had Sushi previously too. But this particular flavour couldn't stand out on our taste buds. My brother, very politely and sweetly (as he is always) gave the review to the manager and waiters. They were all amazed to hear that, because this particular sushi was the most liked food on their restaurant menu. Anyways, out of love and respect they brought us another sushi - Asparagus sushi.. just as a compliementry with no extra charges. The overall atmosphere was lighten up by this little sweet gesture. In the end we ate Mango sticky rice to cover it all up with some sweet feel on our taste buds. But somewhere my brother sensed that mumma's stomach was still empty bcoz she wasn't really able to enjoy all these so-called continental food and after LouLou cafe he took us to a South Indian restaurant named 'South Indian Vibes'. There she ate a Plain Dosa and we all had kulfi at last (which was not good :-) After all these good times we came back home with a cozy atmosphere taking within us. played a little with Mishti and she slept coz she was tired by now. I scrolled phone a little bit, I couldn't sleep for a while but then the cozy night made my things easier :) and I slept !
Thanks for reading this all ---- Meet you in the next one !
