A Spa-cial day

When I had booked my tickets from Indore to Pune, I thought a halt at Pune for 6 odd hours would mean staying at the airport and reading a novel cover to cover. But providence had other plans. I took an appointment at the slush, serene and splendid Spa, The Four Fountain Spa at Koregaon Park. Entered the over Indulgence zone with the lavender aroma over-filling the room, pampering, detoxifying myself with the Indian Body Polish massage. The masseur movements were long, full of control, quick yet precise and I cradled to such an extent that I even dozed off for a few seconds. Though am not a spa junkie, but I enjoy my time at this spa and like to be cosseted by them. A novel experience of being completely new minus the dead skin. Ahhhhh….

Though Prabha and I decided to have Punjabi food, but our taste buds led us to a Italian restaurant named Squisito just opposite the spa. The al dente penne in spinach sauce was simply yummy to tingle your senses. The sauce was just the right consistency and taste was so light, as if spinach had just married and divorced at the same time. The penne affair was not very creamy, to keep you protected from those extra inches 🙂 Next the bruschetta, though miser on cheese, but was a great antipasto. The bread was crispy and I loaded it with extra olive oil. The Sufi Pizza was our next involvement. A very mild tomato sauce decorated the zero size crispy thickness of this pizza, ornamented with mozzarella and artichoke, while the same treatment was meted out to the olive oil, the main menu was satisfyingly tasty. The penultimate chapter in this quest was the chocolate box dessert and the brownie dripping with chocolate sauce, while I write this from the Pune airport, turning my break into a Spa-meal day.
