Circles

Well, what are circles?

Life is a full circle, widening until it joins the circle motions of the infinite.

  • A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning and it has no end – and if you put several circles over each other, then you get a spiral.
    ~Maynard Keenan
  • Mankind is not a circle with a single center but an ellipse with two focal points of which facts are one and ideas the other. ~Victor Hugo
  • Never, never rest contented with any circle of ideas, but always be certain that a wider one is still possible. ~Pearl Bailey

Shrewsbury biscuits are circular, made of butter, castor sugar, egg yolks and flour. They are packed in square, patterned blue color boxes which are sold out in minutes.  They are very buttery and sweet. I enjoy having them.

They are available at Kayani Bakery in Pune, India.  The bakery was started by Hormuz and Khodayar Irani in 1955.They had emigrated from Iran before 1947, along with a group of people, many of whom settled in Pune and began the business of bakeries.

Originally, Shrewsbury biscuit is a classic English dessert, named after Shrewsbury, the county town of Shropshire. They are made from dough that contains sugar, flour, egg, butter and lemon zest; dried fruit is also often added.

It’s a famous restaurant located near MG road. This place serves the best sea food in town and with high quality. Little expensive but worth spending money for such amazing dishes. The fresh catches aren’t as fresh as you get in Mumbai, but still, worth a try.
