"Rose milk", "Sweet Lassi", "Paneer Soda" are the words etched in my taste buds as well as in my mind whenever i think about chennai or my childhood days. Paneer soda is one such drink i used to have or anyone in chennai for that matter. It not only quenches your thirst on a real summer day but also leaves  behind an amazing flavor in your tongue.
