Remember I had put up the message in my GTalk about Baklava being available for only 1 month in the entire year at Iranian Sweet Palace? (Baklavas in Bombay @ Iranian Sweet Palace (Bhendi Bazaar) - 1 Kg packet is fine for me pls - jaldi karo its available only for 1 month every year around Navroze which went by on Sunday!)
Well! my net friend Darryl Neves of FastForward Studio (http://www.ffdancestudio.com/index.html) enlightened me that it was available at Hypercity too!!!!!
Toh kya thaa! since none of you out there are my true friends ;-P who would go out and get it for me. I went straight to Hypercity on Sunday 28th April 2010.
And what I saw is all here for you to see. Baklava with a variety of nuts!!! ;-) ummmmmmm! 
But it being the season of Lent I had to settle for the Eggless variety thats what you see here (Kadiyaf Drum Cashew) n quiet happily I ordered Half a Kg only to be jolted back to reality when I preened at the cost Rs. 147/- for 100 gms hmmmmm there I had to get back to reality and settle for 100 gms (now what's with the smirk on your face eh!) arrey it was 28th March end of the month remember!
But then life is full of surprises! and some really thoughtful friends and ex-colleagues. Remember Mahesh one of the two Eshs! who was there at BWSL Supa Satruday!
Haan Haan wahi! He took the trouble of not just going looking out for the non-descript Iranian Sweet Palace, but once there promptly called me to first tell me that yes! he was there, and yes the Baklava was very much there and it was priced as just Rs.600/- per kg. Some quick maths and I settled for 1/4 kg, but this time wasnt so lucky coz the shop sold the sinful stuff in 1/2 kg and 1 kg helpings only. So phir bola what the .... theek hain aadha kilo le lo!
The Baklava was hand delivered to me at Andheri Station by Mahesh the next day! in the most no frills packaging possible. 
Well! although a little disappointed
(well! I was looking forward to take some cool pics and rub it right in for those who missed out on getting their share of Baklavas from Iranian Sweet Palace ;-P But then andar ki baat is what was important. In the meanwhile you can keep fuming and fretting that I not just got the Baklava's but got to eat it too! eh he he he he!!!!
Winnie, this is downright torture - not only do we have to read this but actually see you wolfing down the sweets as well - sinful :)
