Lurker Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? Wats ur hometown lurks? Take a guess Don. Okay let me give you a few hints: 1) It is the only town that has a temple with the feet-stamp of Lord Vishnu(as per Hindu mythology). 2) It is one of the most pious places for Hindus, specially for doing the last rites of your elderlies. As per mythology this is the town where Lord Rama cremated his father Dashrath. 3) It is the place where Siddhartha became Gautam Buddha. :chin: :chin:
CC1981 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? Those who have a favourite mithai are obviously mad because no sane person can possibly have just one favourite mithai. Even a yogi would have more than just one favourite mithai :hic: PS: nobody's mentioned jalebis and laddos yet ? pssshaaw ! amatuers !
Lurker Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? Carrot Halwa are my favs. Thirupathi Laddu is my fav laddu. :hic: Gajar ka halwa wah wah!!! I sooo love it. You can have it cold..or warm..with some khoa/chenna on top..or with some resin/kaju on top..yummy. Thirupathy Ladooo is freaking fantastic..I can possibly eat 5-6(big ones) at one go...
CC1981 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? Never had Tirupathi laddus but sure have heard a lot about it.
Don Posted May 10, 2007 Author Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? Is it Varanasi? pardon me but my hindu/buddha mythology is very weak.
Cricketics Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? i think lurker is from Vrindavan or Mathura..
Holysmoke Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? I like all kinds of Mithai :lmao:
Gambit Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? Is it Varanasi? pardon me but my hindu/buddha mythology is very weak. When Lurker sees this, tu toh Gaya
Mandrake Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? Lurker's home town is Gaya in Bihar most of my maternal relatives live there....
Gaurav Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? You lot laying a party for Shewage and the new motus from team India?
Predator_05 Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? I don't really like mithai, except for kaju barfi. Nathu's in Delhi (Gole Market) make fantastic kaju barfi.

Lurker Posted May 10, 2007 Posted May 10, 2007 Re: Your favourite Mithai? Gambo and Mandrake are right on the money. My birth place as well as the town closest to my heart then and now is Gaya, Bihar. Mandrake you mentioned your relatives are from there, do they still live there? And Gambo do tell me if you have some relatives in Gaya too. Don Gaya is one of the oldest surviving cities of the world. Much like Varanasi or Mathura. In some ways Gaya is unique due to its culture. Within 100-200 km of Gaya you have some of the holiest places for Hindus, Jains, Buddhists and Sikhs. And I do not mean small holy sites but sites with huge significance. For example , Bodh Gaya has to be one of the top 3, maybe topmost, place for Buddhist piligrims around the world. Within 100-150 km radius you have the birthplace of Sikh's guru Hargobind Singh(one of the Akal Takht's for Sikhs), remains of Buddhist remains at Nalanda/Rajriha, one of the holy places for Jains(Parasnath) etc. Not to mention the relevant for Hindus. It really is a place with great culture and history. And offers some fantastic mithais as well. Of course with current law and order the way it is not many Indians are aware of places like Gaya. xxx
