Growing up in #Bombay , the monsoons in #India were a relief from the sweltering summer days & a pleasant indication that ‘cooler’ weather was round the corner. On such days, my grandmother always had a stash of #ginger #shortbread at hand waiting to be dunked into warm #milk or #coffee ( milk with a pinch of coffee for the little coffee addict that I was). We would sit by the window of her dining room and talk about everything from history to ancestry. I remember learning how she enjoyed her first ginger shortbread in #scotland when she visited the #UK as a young Diplomat’s wife from Free India and how different it was to the ones she grew up with in #British India. I can confidently say that my love for shortbread was inherited from my grandmother. As it rained heavily in #Austin #Texas today, I pulled out my stash of ginger flavored shortbread by @shortbreadhouse and poured a strong cuppa to accompany me as I reminisced about those childhood conversations and memories etched in my mind that prepared me to become the person I am today.#childhoodmemories #royalworcestorbalmoral #royalworcestor #englishchina #media #agencylife
