GRANNY'S INN BANARAS

The organised chaos of the Holy City of Banaras is something one simply can not understand until you expereience it. Oh! the sights and sounds of the cradle of Hinduism. I was mesmerised to see life and death on the same street. I deisgned the art work and logo for Granny's Inn, which is a quiant homestay run by two extremely sweet and warm ladies in the very heart of Banaras. It is surely the best place to stay if anyone is planning a trip to Banaras in the future. I for one highly recomend it!

 

SUMMER FRUITS

I'm a bit fussy when it comes to fruits, I’m sorry to say. I mean, come on, who likes sour oranges or grapes! And I like trying new stuff. For example, I loved the ‘Dragon fruit’, which I tried in England. It’s so amazing to think that it’s actually a cactus fruit! We rarely find it here in Calcutta and it’s darn costly too. But some of my local favs are the ‘Rattling Rose Apple’, colloquially "Gulab Jaam", the Wax Apple i.e. Jamrul and the Musk Melon or Kharmuja. 

Ever get that feeling? When you smell something amazing and you wish that you could just eat it up? Well, I get it whenever I smell a rose! And Nature's solution to this problem of mine comes in the form of the Rattling Rose apple. It’s subtle, delicate and tastes like rose. Perfect! And the Wax Apple, so pretty to look at and it tastes just like summer!
