It is cloudy outside and i think it's gonna rain. Rain,when we think about it, we will remember, "spicy snacks,a cup of hot tea and the sweet smell of wet mud". A combination of all these will make the perfect rainy day. Spicy snacks/starters, made with non-veg will be yummy to the non-veg lovers like me.
