New Posts will be Coming Soon...

Since Wednesday I have had the flu, so as a result I have been unable to post anything on the blog. However, I will be posting the final part of the Hazoor Sahib travels in the next few days. So watch this space.

On Wednesday I went to the local corner-shop to get some LEMSIP. I remember drinking it before when I had a cold. I was feeling drowsy and just wanted to have something to relieve the flu. I asked the shopkeeper "Excuse me what I have got for flu? Do you have LEMSIP?" He replied, "Yes. Which one?" He pointed at "LEMSIP" and "LEMSIP MAX".


I replied, "Ermm... what flavours are there?" The shopkeeper (who was Gujrati) stared at me and paused for a second and then slowly said, "LEMON". Just before he said that I just realised that I spoke without thinking and that obviously LEMSIP was going to be "LEMON" flavour. lol.

I went for LEMSIP MAX. However, it wasn't very appetizing. It might have been the fact that I had added sauNf (ਸੌਂਫ) and jawain (ਜਵੈਣ) to the boiling water. So the taste was a mix of lemon, sauNf (ਸੌਂਫ) and jawain (ਜਵੈਣ). I felt queasy drinking it. But chalo, I drank it!

However, the best medicine I found for flu symptoms is BENYLIN 4 FLU tablets.


Chalo, Rab Rakha.

    I hate the taste myself but sugar does make it taste a little better. You can get different flavours like blackcurrant. We sell them in our shop lolz. Neway get well soon.

    i went to tesco and bought "Yellow Dal with Peas Pulao" (basically Masraa di daal with chowl).

    I looked forward to eating the dal, and generally masraa di dal is good for you if you have a cold etc. However, I warmed it up and tasted it and it was DISGUSTING. Rab Jaane who made it! It was like slurpy yellow gravey!!

    I couldn't believe the taste! Yet it was meant to have been made in New Delhi (well thats what it said on the packet).

    Chalo, Rab Rakha.
