I went to the Pen Festival yesterday with my daughter. I had written about the last time here.
The Festival had graphologists, pen doctor, leather covers and bags, lots of fountain pens, some paper stationary, and inks. We met Vishwesh and Vipul.

We got two pens – one for my wife and another for my daughter.
We were heading back from the venue back home when the pleasant aroma of the bakery caught me.
I drank the cola flavour after a really long time. I opened the crimped down glass bottle cap with an old style bottle opener tied with a twine around the refrigerator handle.
The refrigerator had various flavours. My wife drank the lemon flavour a day before when we passed through here. I tried a sip.
We got this at Ramsar Bakery in Pune. It was on the way home on a route Google Maps had suggested we take.

We bought nankhatai. The man sitting at the counter offered our son one. When his eyes lit up at the taste of the nankhatai, the man offered him one more. We bought a pav kilo (250 gm) of it. My daughter liked it too. My wife was crazy about it too. We finished the pack that evening.
My wife said we should buy these every time we pass through that road on the corner of a busy street where the scooters park adjacent to the side walk, sometimes causing a traffic commotion – a cacophony of horns from scooters behind them who now have to change their paths.
