Ice cream at Corner House

Corner House is truly one of the best cafes in Bangalore. I happenned to visit this neat little cafe during my vacations to the Garden City this February, and trust me was I impressed. Known for its wide range of ice creams and desserts, this eatery also serves some of the most mouth watering chaats and snacks.
Starting from paapri chaat to the delicious pav bhaji, eveything that you can think of is avalable at this cute little restaurant.
We ( i.e. me and my family) ordered samosa chaat, pav bhaji and paapri chaat. Though I had my favorite paapr chaat, the samosa chaat attracted my attention too. Not to forget the pav bhaji. Let's me put it this way. I tried little bit of everything.
After having teased our taste buds with these delicious Indian snacks, we sat down to enjoy our desserts. My mother ordered "Strawberries with fresh cream and ice cream", my sister ordered "Cake Fudge", my daddy ordered " Hot caramel pudding", my brother -in-law went for the "Pistachio ice cream" while I decided to try out the coffee and chocolate flavored ice cream.
We all took turns to try out each others orders. But I must say that my mom's order was te best. Juicy and bright red strawberries dipped in soft, snowy white cream really made me smack my lips. All that I can say is that the taste was "heavenly".
I dipped one strawberry in the cream and put it in my mouth after ensuring that it was covered with a generous amount of cream. The entire thing just melted in my mouth. I could feel the softness of the cream and strawberry roll inside my mouth as it slowly melted away leaving behind the flavour that was so sweet. It was simply fantastic.
Having tried this, I went for the cake fudge and the caramel pudding. The tastes were so distinct that it is really hard to forget them. Unlike other shops, where all chocolate and caramel flavoured desserts taste the same, in Corner House each and every preparation has its own distinct flavour. I guess, that's what makes this wonderful cafe famous and a hot favorite among the people of the city. If you happen to be there, make sure you try out "Strawberry with cream and ice cream" as well as the most famous "Death by chocolate". Trust me, you would get value for money and would want to come back to that place over and over again.

An evening so magical and blissful.

It was an evening to remember. Walking down the banks of the Rabindar Sarobar lake with my friend on a warm April evening was truly an evening worth cherishing. Chatting and laughing, we walked down the tiled path that encircled the tranquil waters of the lake. The path was dimly lit and the gentle breeze that blew added to the romantic atmosphere that surrounded the entire place.

We strolled under the tall trees that swayed gently in the breeze. The entire place was thronging with people, some strolling like us and others just lazing on the grass close by. Yet others, with their beloved in their arms, sat and enjoyed a romantic moment uninterrupted and engrossed. The waters of the lake shimmered as a result of the light from the lampposts that lined the banks of the lake.

We walked for quite sometime, before finally sitting down on a bench to give rest to our weary legs. The bench, made of concrete, faced the lake and offered a grand view of the surrounding area. The two of us chatted for a long time, talking on different things like career, relationships, music and others. My friend also sang a couple of songs to make the moment more memorable.

We laughed and joked and pulled each others legs while the breeze kissed our oily face gently making us feel refreshed and rejuvenated. It was a heart warming moment we spent that day. The hours rolled by as we shared our secrets and experiences one by one. Not for one moment did each of us stop and wonder what the other would think about us. We just opened our hearts out. For the first time, I felt so free. It was like that of a bird who had just discovered its new found freedom.

Finally, it was time to part ways, or should I say it was time to get back home. I wanted to stay a little while longer, but call of duty made me think 'rationally' and change my decision. We headed back home, happy to have shared such an intimate moment with one another. We promised that we would come again one day and share our lives moments amidst the cool shade of the trees and in front of the serene lake.

It was truly an exhilarating and blissful evening that we spent together.
