Chronicles of an unemployed explorer

Yup, here I go again. Blabbing some more about Boston. Last week was fun, discovered a couple of things about this place
1. Bostonians have devised zillions of ways to soak up the sun. Sunbathing by the Charles, watching free movies by the river, wathcing free plays at the Commons or sun bathing at beaches in the middle of the week. (you can check my travel blog for this one - but for some reason haven't been able to post pics of the glorious Atlantic)

2. There is a REALLY cheap and moderately decent Punjabi food place at Inman Square (very simply named Punjabi Dhaba) which is going to be our fav joint for cheap weekend lunches. I recommend going to the place if not for the food then for the surreal experience. It really feels like the owner imported the whole room straight from Ludhiana, the decor, the people, the clocks (which show India time), the golden elephants on the mantelpiece, the Guru Nanak pics and the steel Indian railway type plates. And ofcourse the Tv , a broken down panasonic that plays the most titillating Bollywood videos non stop at FULL volume. So while you munch your reshmi Kebabs, you get to watch Mallika Sherawat smooch the Gorilla man 100 times!!

3. My latest love - the Mexican chocolate ice cream at Christina (home made ice cream place at Inman again). They also serve "Khulfi" and ginger ice creams - for the more adventurous.

4. And the last foodie tip - NEVER eat the Matcha shake at Tealuxe - it tastes like green soap and is excessivley traumatising esp if you drink it at 12 am...
