Spice Level : 😋😋😋
"Is that Mapro Kokam Crush, I see on the shelf?" , 😍 I asked my husband in disbelief ! He didn't share the same excitement as me on this Alexandrian level of discovery and retorted back with just a " Hmm". 😠
As I held the bottle of Kokam crush in my hands , I felt like I had received some lifetime award for doing the mundane chore of visiting Indian store weekly, year after year. My mind went back in flash back and 15 years of my life visiting the Indian Store came flashing by.. In the beginning with my husband, then with my infant daughter, then with 2 children in tow and finally now after so many years its just main aur meri Indian Store ki list...Its my idea of "me" time where I stare at the bourbon biscuit thinking "oreo main woh baat kahan"..only to be asked to move aside by some anxious shopper
Inspired by my Kokam crush find, next week my husband decided to find ram ladoo..To those of us who have never lived in North India,ram ladoo is a spicy little ball of savory candy.He tried different Indian stores.Some tried to help while some gave him the "Hmm" look (karma .. ha ha ha 😏😏) . But finally he succeeded..
As I sat drinking the Kokum crush and he relishing the ram ladoo, we connected to our childhood . The days of our childhood when I used to have kokum crush after returning back from school on a hot day and he used to get ram ladoo on his way back from school.
Both of us looked at each other with a "hmmm" 😋😋
