Sharjah Shake - The love of my life !

    Years have passed and hairs have gone, but the mystic love between I and Sharjah Shake has not faded a bit. This revelation struck me today late evening in a restaurant, when I was turning pages after pages of a big glossy menu, searching for "The" shake, though the menu was filled with numerous other varieties of shakes and drinks.

    Those who have not been lucky to have heard about this shake, let me introduce you all to this exotic drink. Though the name suggests that it is an Arabic drink, the legends say that this drink was born and brought-up in Kerala. And I personally know people who contemptuously teased this drink as a mere banana milk shake, but died horrible deaths soon after. And more strangely, a banana was somehow associated with all these deaths - some of them choking on a full ripe banana, some of them hitting their head after stepping on a banana skin - and so on.

    Coming back to my love story, I guess I started having feelings for Sharjah shake during my Engineering days. To be continued...
