I love your humor! I&#39;ve never heard of Masala Sprite but I want to try it - I&#39;m not a fan of chaat masala, but this will be an adventure worth taking. I&#39;m trying to ban Sprite from my daughter who acts like its crack. Unfortunately, she always gets a stash at any desi party where the aunties are more than happy to pour her a large glass.Annhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13989340321224075830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-74984235238824857312009-10-27T13:18:49.993-04:002009-10-27T13:18:49.993-04:00ohh bolte bhule gechilam tumi shunecho kina janina amar baba bolen oder coll life e khub famous chilo fatas jol. mane oi soda water kintu mukhe akta ball lagano thakto kholar samay fatas kore awaz hoto bole oi naam.Sayantanihttp://ahomemakersdiary.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-39013293157841975232009-10-27T13:17:08.528-04:002009-10-27T13:17:08.528-04:00Congrats Sandeepa you really deserve that. your write ups are something i look forward to and thats really really true.
