Since our childhood we have been drinking these drinks until now and it can never be replaced by any other drinks. The heat of the sun gives a feeling of being in tandoor. Temperature is hell deadly than my dad and rising way above the bearable point. Dehydration becomes the worst fear as Kilvish used to be in Shaktiman. Beside the option of disappearing in deep water pool of just 4 foot (Yes, this is the maximum depth in pool side) no other options left. What should I do?
Then somewhere in my brain a TVC ad starts like pehle mai bahut pareshan tha! Itna paseena ata tha ki maine apna khud ka pool bhar diya tha. Mai bahut pareshan rehne laga tha. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha kya karu, fir meri life mai Mister Tikku ka ek article aaya, usse padte hi mai itna thanda rehne laga hu, ki maano maine apne andar glacier samet liya.
So grab some desi drinks listed below and beat down this summer with us.
