Bedeviled!

मराठीत लिहिना अवघड अस्ल्यामुले “google transliterator” वापरत आहे. मराठीत लिहिना गरजेचा वाटला कारन विषयही तसाच आला समोर. मी आजकाल दररोज गुल्कन्द खातो. लक्षात रहाव म्हणुन लैपटॉप च्या अगदी शेजारी मी गुलाकंदाची बाटली ठेवली आहे. गुलकंद  ही अशी वस्तु आहे की माला शक्य अस्त तर मी नुसता गुलकंदच खाल्ला असता. मला गुलकंद फार आवडतो. I just love it and it is the best sweet I have tested. Mostly natural, if not completely. Eating it at anytime of the day is quite refreshing. I generally eat it after dinner, a couple of spoons and I just end up smiling to myself about how good it is.

English nomenclature (Rose Petal Jam): Many-a-times while writing in English, I feel i just cannot bear with the english translation of this word. “Gulkand” is one such word. Calling it “Rose Petal Jam” is worst. Jam?? Well, thats what it is and I will follow what it has been called.

This is small blurb about Gulkand, from www.ayurveda-foryou.com (A very good site).
Gulkand is undoubtedly the most delicious Ayurvedic preparation known to mankind. It is made primarily of rose petal which are collected at their peak condition. It also contains other rejuvenating herbs blended in just the right proportion. Gulkand has been traditionally used as a cooling tonic to combat fatigue, lethargy, muscular aches, biliousness, itching, and heat-related conditions. It is also naturally rich in calcium and has antioxidant activity. It can be used year-round by persons of all constitutions, especially Vata and Pitta.
