Hello chaat

Half eaten samosa and jalebi.


Jalebi is deep fried batter soaked (yes soaked) in sugar water.





One of my co worker stopped by the office today. Traditions in the old office in Milpitas is snacking on good spicy Indian food and that is exactly what we did. My love for Indian food grew exponentially over the years and lately I haven't had it for a long time. I like how it is spicy and the different type of flavors there are!


Of the type of Indian food, I love chaat the best. Chaat is Indian snacks- or street foods. It is served in small portions (not all the time) and can include sweet or savory. Before I was acquainted with Indian sweets, I could not stand taking a bite of their sweets. If you don't know, Indian sweets are literally, drenched in sugar syrup. But oh... the more you eat it... the more your taste bud suddenly gets used to it. Serve that with Chai and you will be in a food coma.

If you want to learn more about Indian food... I would be happy to accompany you and indulge in fried & sugar soaked food.

When my mom gets the chance to use my camera, she would take it and click away. Often times, when I browse through my SD card, I would find pictures of teddy bears, the vases in our house, plastic flowers, bed sheets, our couch... etc. One of my mom's most (and I mean MOST) favorite snaps to take is of people caught off guard. She tells me how bored she is of taking posed shots and prefer to take pictures of people in their moment not really posing. Hence, the picture above.
It was taken a couple weeks back and I was doing my face exercise/ lotion routine in front of the TV watching TMZ. Not a cute shot... noticed the pile of clothes I have still yet to fold on my bed.

According to my mom, when I am not really posing is when I look the best. She tends to capture those stunned looks and claims that those look are more fun to look at. I can't help but disagree.
