I loooooooooved this sweet. I grew up in Bombay and we used to call the seller "Cycle Banao". Can still remember the flavour. It was like a chewy sweet mint. Delicious!!

I really want to see that time comes back when I will go to my mais's house for Simai of Eid and they will come to our Durga Puja festival but as I told you earlier as we protest Gujrat riot on street we will wait to see protest march from educated Muslim community against Kashmiris who opposed Land transfer because I believe if Subsidies are there for a particular community then there is no harm transfering land to shrine.

Sir,
I really feel bad when here the story of Azhar not getting house.
But I feel the situation was not so bad always. I personally have many Muslim friends but we never thought this way.
But I have an explaination to this situation: I feel for long time there has been many incidents of terror from the particular community. I know my muslim friends will never kill me but there are people who can. So it is not hetred , it is fear.
In occations like Amarnath shrine board if Muslim leaders had supported shrine then this could be a confidence building.
I opposed Gujrat riot and my friends participated in protest in streets of calcutta but some times I feel if Muslims also protests the ugly face of terror in India then the situation could be controlled.
I will really wait to see Muslims comming out and protesting in public while I believe lakhs of Muslims silently protests Terrorism in Hyderabsd or protest march against Amarnath shrine land transfer.

Great find! These were great! Or maybe, like you said... the memories make them seem great.

I don't remember the taste exactly, but back then they were the coolest thing ever! These and those long flavored ice in a long plastic tube.

Both were forbidden, which made them even cooler!

Ya. Unfortunately these traditional things are forgotten. These people can't take on the sweets & snacks offered by globalised markets, either chips or chewing gums.

Believe me same mithai I used to eat in Punjab, Pakistan during my childhood days. This mithai wala used to walk in streets and sometimes go to schools. I am still wondering how he would be able to feed his family with such limited income.
