Ice creams

Ice creams are such a refreshing treat during summer. It's a frozen dessert that makes a lot of people happy. Ice cream makes me remember my childhood days. I used to love eating choco bar ice creams. A few years later I started eating cone icecreams. With the new Kwality Walls shop that opened near my grandparents house, I used to go to buy Cornetto everyday! Paddle pop was also a treat. Then came the bucket ice cream. I used to love the strawberry bucket ice cream. I once didn't want to go to a dentist. So my parents and grand parents convinced me to go by saying that I could eat an ice cream after visiting the dentist.

Hotels

Hotels are transforming these days in a wonderful and spectacular way. Whether it is a five star hotel or 10 star hotel the ambience of some of the hotels are just stunning! I had been to Banjara Melting Pot in Koramangala and came to know that it was an artist's house. The house belonged to artist M.F.Husain. The experience was like eating food at an art gallery. It was a pleasure for my eyes and stomach :). The Lalith Mahal Palace in Mysore is also a hotel. It is built in marble. The Renaissance architectural style of the hotel makes one feel the luxury and grandeur. It is also famous for the cuisines they serve. Hotels like these are attractions to tourists. It helps in tourism development. Cultural programmes are held in such hotels for selected audience. I love to have such experiences and so does thousands of tourists who visit India.
