Halwa - Yummy and Sweet

Halwa is always a treat. One of the fondest and happiest memories of my childhood is the gooey, sweet and tasty treat filled with nuts and love. I hail from the city pearls who is the neighbour to the city of halwa. Their halwa is world famous and is in great demand. We can get the halwa all over the world. Still the original is the best.

It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt me. They migh
