The Magic of Pista House

What is synonymous between a Tsunami and People thronging Pista House for Haleem?
Both tend to swell as the time passes by...

Serious jokes apart, this is however a fact that as days pass by the influx of people visiting Pista House swells to such an extent that parking of bikes around the area seems to be a herculean task.

Swankiest Bikes, Swankiest Cars parked bang right on the middle of the road is a usual sight nearby Pista House now. The less foruntate ones, who reach with the least luck got to drive a bit more ahead to park their vehicles. However, as goes the saying "Everyone has a piece of Cake, not matter how many turn up", you could see Servers (not the IBM or SUN Servers, but the people who serve you Haleem expecting some tip from your side) running helter skelter, carrying loads of Haleem Bowls stacked on a Serving Tray.

We were fortunate enough to have 160 (Md. Ayub Khan) by our side, would love to call him 160 even though his name was printed on the card, as that is what you need to remember if he slips away with your 1000 Ruppee Note, this seems to be a distant dream as no one outhere seems to do something like this.

If you love trekking and adventure, then try walking around Pista House barefooted. Mountains of Haleemish Bones can be seen strewn all over the place and lucky dog gets most of the bones. Dogs do frequent Pista House and relish the Haleem as we all do. They do take it as a sense of pride, when they get their share of Haleemish Bones around the place. Some more fortunate ones do get a spoonfull of Haleem dropped by the Generous Haleemer (a person who is fond of Haleem and gulps down loads and loads of Haleem, no pun intended)

People were seen getting back to business, as this roadside stall selling footwear that would give D&G, Prada, Vercase a run for money. Want a Diesel styled Shoes, then do checkout these roadside stalls and you would not be disheartened. You would be the lucky few, who get to wear a Diesel Shoes designed somewhere in the world but made in the bylanes of Mumbai or Hyderabad.

When a lion dines, fox gets his share too... Proving this idiom right is the existence of various outlets who sell stuff that could flush in the Heavy Haleem, for instance bang beside Pista House would you notice this shop selling Lassi, Faluda and etc etc etc, to cool your tummy and flush down the Haleem.
