We were walking around Joshimath. There was this big copper colour container tilted in a weird angle, such that its big base was visible. It was placed inside a mobile cart with tomatoes, onions, chilies, lemons at the base of the standing vessel. Was very curious - it was most definitely some kind of eatery, but what? Could not find the vender. I was hoping we come back on the same road, and we did. It was a "chaat burger" stall! The vendor had all the veggies- onions, chilies, tomatoes, boiled potatoes and channa ready. He mixed them all with some masala and lemon in the big copper container to make a tangy, spicy saucy mixture, slit the bun and filled it with this. Every bite was surprisingly delicious! hmmmmm yummmm!

The mobile tea shop!
It was a busy, narrow, winding lane of Rishikesh, on either sides there were small
shops selling all kinds of things - jewelry, clothes, bags, books, items
of religious significance like rudraksh etc. I noticed a tea vendor
serving tea. What was different was how he was preparing tea freshly as he
moved along and served both shop keepers and their clients alike! He had a
covered kerosene stove on top of which he had placed a kettle of milk. There
was another plastic bucket in which he kept his milk can, disposable tea cups, tea powder packet and a container along with a filter to prepare and serve the hot tea. The tea tasted very
good. His shop was amazingly mobile and was a good business idea compared to
the stagnant shops. Given the fact that the streets were quite narrow, a mobile
tea shop works thoroughly well for some of those lanes of Rishikesh.

Ice Age 4...
Watched "Ice age 4 - Continental drift". Was in 3D and I
am fond of the Ice age characters. Enjoyed the movie. It is about Manny the
mammoth dealing with his paternal feelings for his teenage daughter. Diego
finds a partner. Sid meets his family! It is sweet that way. There is a crazy
ape for a villain. All this set with continental drift backdrop.
Looks like it is a season of sequels - with Spiderman, batman, Madagascar
and all. I am not even comparing Ice age to its earlier movies. This movie is
short and did not bore me at any time. But I would like some fresh animated
movies now! Sequels are ok, but new ones will be fun. Anyone listening? :)
