It's Sunday afternoon it's one of those rainy days when you just don't feel like doing anything. You just want to pick up a lovely book, gaze out of your window & Sip over a large Mug of Nescafe Coffee or Cadbury's Hot chocolate .
As I was just lazing around I got craving of eating some nice fish fry .I fondly remembered how when I was expecting my baby , one of the days I started craving for Fish , specially Pomfret and there he was the doorstep Fisherman with a basket of fresh catch in my neighbourhood.
I remember my mom told me that if you crave something during pregnancy then it's your baby asking for it. And it's true, my Lill angel Samaira is all about Fish , Eggs ( Scrambled or Half Fry ) , Cheese & Baskin Robbins Vanilla Ice-cream . This is all that I ever craved for during my pregnancy.
Today again I am craving Fish & it has to be fresh Pomfrets.
