Every summer it was a routine for us kids to laze around in front of the TV in the afternoons because going out to play in the heat was out of question. And when we got hungry we would gorge on juicy mangoes and sharbats of all kinds . Mom would keep the pantry stocked with homemade rose sharbat, khus sharbat and of course fennel sharbat and jasmine sharbat – yup my house was not the rasna kinds, no orange and kala khatta for me. I would just mix some cold water and fix myself a yummy and refreshing glass whenever I wanted . This was also the time when I taught myself to make a mean glass of masala soda without soda ( I used eno :p), but we shall get into that another time….
