It was there.....Than gone !!!



Alok may be you should have planned your new trip to India a bit earlier or for that matter maybe i should have gone to doon few days earlier maybe i could have still savored the Faluda Kulfi or Rasmalai of Kumar sweet shop, it was there and than was gone.As i entered the Chakrata road in evening driving down from Gurgaon( It was trip i was making last week to drop Joshita at Welhams after winter vacation and also to attend the reconstruction and aftermath Puja of our family temple in Belonwala) i thought for a moment maybe i had taking a wrong turn and reached Iraq and than i realised the bottleneck or chicken neck as Mayank is fond of saying the ever bane of doon traffic, the narrow lane near Kumar sweet shop and entire Chakrata road is wide again.

Although this sweet shop is shifted still old nostalgia will hit doonies for time to come ,still its good for doon traffic henceforth.

Hey Man, this is news to me!!! I couldn't identify the site shown in the second photograph though; it doesn't look like the site of the erstwhile sweet shop for sure.Has the shop been relocated? If so, where to? I'm sure the owners would've received quite a handsome compensation and a prime location elsewhere. Another era comes to an end in Doon after the closing down of Kwality...

Hmm... Disastrous. On the flip side i can now get my 'pink' hummer out :-)

Drawat said...

why did you buy the pink hummer, have u come out of closet

Drawat said...

Mr Singh, the photograph is of erstwhile singh medical hall or whatever left of the place.

Alok J said...

No I don't have a pink hummer. Just kidding. Only people in 'Dubai' (gas rich) can afford the gas guzzler.

Drawat said...

dubai wallah is fighting his gas rather

mayank sharma said...

it's good that "u" is not placed close "a".....what a typing error it could have been....with reference to pink h..m..r.

Drawat said...

with age u imagination and frustation shows up mr Sharma

mayank sharma said...

but what did i say.. to mean frustration....what did you understand?by pink.....

Drawat said...

Alok what did u understand by Mayank's comment

Alok J said...

Well, we all know what he means. All I can say is we have pink ones in abundance in America. Generally they are ridden by babes !!! However trend is now changing.

So now we know who is watching movies in 'New Orient' with helmet on.

mayank sharma said...

come along to orient if you understood....

orient means east or the cinema hall?

Alok J said...

Well, I meant cinema hall, but I guess new orient (east) for Mayank can be Dubai. Wondering if they are showing Huma khan movies there !!
