fafda jalebi is my niche on the web, created just so that I can share my ramblings, rants and raves with fellow netizens.
A: I wanted to start with a unique name.
Q:Why settle for fafda jalebi of all the other available concoctions?
A: I have always had a sweet-tooth and also because of a particular incident that still brings a smile on my face.
Q: What of the incident?
A: While discussing Indian cuisine and desserts in particular over a breakfast or lunch session at the SSDS workshop in Bangalore, a fellow participant (and a very dear friend) burst out,
“Have you tried any fafda jalebi? “
His sudden outburst, and introduction to a completely new entity had all of us laughing; a very nasal tone must have added to the humour. What followed were his exuberant raves about fafdajalebi and us cracking up even more.
Throughout the workshop, everyone called him by his new nickname – fafda jalebi. The name has stuck on my head ever since.
