Description
Those days of video cassette recorder’s ( VCR) where we would get a black flat box called a tape to watch movies or other recorded visual treats. It mostly would be movies. All video tape movies would have advertisements in between at least twice. Those days we could count the number of advertisements that we had the privilege to watch. I some how found all the limited edition advertisements to be so interesting. To name a few .. sionara TV, Rasna drink, Amul butter, Natraj pencil, Vicks action 500 …. oops and the Rooh afza advertisement too where a young fair good looking dude holding half a dozen of Rooh ahza sherbath in his hands along with a charming smile (he sure did melt a hell lot of teenage hearts like mine ) And then there is a voice saying …
” Greatness needs greed. Don’t let your thirst for greatness fade away. Stay refreshed and re- energised with Rooh Afza with coolest blend of 13 herbal ingredients to quench your thirst .. yet leaving you asking for more.”
( Gosh , not bad I remember every bit )
I would rewind this advertisement and watch it over and over again is when my brother would start a fight with me asking for the remote control .. which always leads to a pillow fight and then wrestling … either of us getting hurt badly and I get shouted at by mom no matter what as I am the elder sibling ( cliche happenings at most homes ).
With all theses thoughts in my mind, I ended up making this awesome lassi. Happy .. joyful moods do help to create lovely dishes always.
