Bhutta is FINALLY here!!!!

After months of  greedily sticking my head out of the car window during our drive along the MPEB road , hoping,  yet not daring to do any more than hope , to see a bhutta stall by the road side , with its romantic spiral of smoke spreading the familiar, musky 
smell, I've finally been rewarded for my patience. 

The masala chana vendor has a new neighbour; most of the sabji wale have brought out their stock of firewood and those funny little steel tubs , which ,  as far as i know, have no designation in english , and go by the generic name of "Tasla" in hindi ; the air near their hand carts is heavy with musky, delicious smoke...to summarise, life is only savouring (or anticipating the savouring ) the smell and taste of bhutta. 

However, with the mouthwatering pro of corn , tag along the inevitable cons . The flies try hard to mislead you from your path of salvation , the brown faced kids will rob you of all your spare change and parents will , inevitably, make excuses and cite complex time space relationships to justify their apathy towards the cause you've espoused.   IGNORE THEM ALL ! Let nothing distract you from your goal . Stay faithful to The Corn , and The Corn shall give you the strength to overcome all obstacles.  

With these words, I shall let you experience for yourself the wonders of corn ...I wish not to lessen your wondrous joy by revealing too much at this early stage. Munch On !!!
