Orange infused mava barfi jewelled with pistachios

After the BREAK……BREAK ke baad…

We are back , yes WE ARE BACK with some delicious stories that will sure entertain you… Ya I know we took an un announced break from blogging, from social networks … just to get indulge in some secluded “ME” time… and it really works wonders on you and rejuvenates with more creativity…bubbling with new stories that we cant wait to share with you…

Weather is absolutley beautiful outside…crisp, cool and sunny, bright which instantly cheers you up and season’s first break we spent the nights on a beautiful coastal town…it was so serene, calm and enchanted us with its vibrant play of colors at the evening …color of spring is every where…red, white, yellow, purple the town seems to bloom in full swing…and on ohh..such beautiful day how can you sit alone at home…its time to get out from the mundane of everyday life…and Enjoy !!! in your own special way.

Spring is perhaps that season which awakens you from the wintry sullenness and paints you with colors, like leashing a spring of life into the drabness that surrounds our life.

“Yesterday the twig was brown and bare;

To-day the glint of green is there;

Tomorrow will be leaflets spare;

I know no thing so wondrous fair,

No miracle so strangely rare.

I wonder what will next be there! “  by  L.H. Bailey

…and how truly it reflects the spirit of”Spring”… hint of green is so pronounced now and after a day of light shower it looks all the more beautiful…gleaming vibrantly in the warm sunshine that follows…the day.

So here we are with some sweets to welcome the “Spring”, an Indian sweet milk fudge with hint of orange and jewelled with emerald green pistachios. Time to get indulge in sweet somethings.. 😉
