Most commonly used by unsuspecting Punjabi and Bengali mothers to ensure their wards and their friends don't consume alcohol.

Having a bad day? Someone getting on your nerves? Things not going your way?

Then try some Samosa Therapy!

Follow the steps below for instant happiness and contentment in the face of all things that bug you from here to Jhoomritalaiya.

1. Buy one dozen aloo samosas. Dunk four of these into mix of pudhina and imli chutneys, and devour while hot. Feel the taste of the crisp, golden fried maida mixing with the spicy aloo filling, and complimented perfectly by the minty-tamarindy chutneys. Ahaaaa!

2. Once the fabulous double carbohydrate combo of maida and potatoes hits your bloodstream and induces a feeling of well-being, log into Samosapedia. (If you haven't created a login id, eat off two more samosas and do so.)

3. Think of the funniest words/phrases/anecdotes you know. Try to channel your current annoyance or frustration into one of these. Make it as full of nyansanse things as possible. (Hint: you will know if you have succeeded if you start showing your 32 teeths and the person next to you thinks you look loony all of a sudden)

4. Type them into Samosapedia and submit. If someone has already defined them, fikar not I say. Just eat off two more samosas, and define away.

5. Feel all the negative vibes of your day dissolving under the influence of a High-Glycaemic Index snack and the involuntary chuckles that bubble up when you look at the utter rubbish you have just keyed in.

6. Finish off the last 4 samosas with a lighter heart and a happier countenance.

Frozen delicacy sold by pushcart ice cream wallahs and in kiosks. Hawked in a loud voice "CHAAKOBAAR PISTOBAAR ICECREEEEM" brings grubby kids rushing to the vendor. Called chocolate ice cream or chocolate popsickle elsewhere, it is a waxy layer of chocolate covering a lot of air with some vanilla flavored ice cream underneath. When eaten in the hot summers, the darned thing melts and trickles over your wrist before you can fully unwrap it and the sticky mess winds it way to the elbow when raising your hand to give the bar a lick. Must say it is a cute sight to see little kids with dried chocolate around the mouth after an encounter with chaakobaar icecream. Hard to clean up after an eat as water is usually in scarce supply in the vicinity. Enjoy.

Totally vegetarian food cooked and served without the use of onion, garlic, and root vegetables.
