Over the past few days, it has been pretty hot and I have been taking generous doses of Amul ice cream. I get it from Kyabla kakur dokan, the only store around NBMC known to charge the right price. Strangely, all other shops charge a rupee or two in excess of the printed MRP on cold drinks and ice creams, they call it ‘freezing charge’. While Walls remains my all-time favourite, I have developed a liking for Amul only recently. The first time I had it was not long ago. I was with Amartya and Subhodip in Behala, some time in last year, to watch a movie in Asoka, when my friends introduced me to the taste of Amul.

The label on the Amul ice-cream reads it’s probiotic! I don’t know if having probiotic stuff is really beneficial as claimed. An article on yesterday’s Daily Mail says it is.
