history of 'ais kapai'

the history of ais kapai is nothing as intriguing as aishwarya rai's elevated cleft but its indeed as cool as the himalayan winter.....
the first ais kapai entry to the estate came about around the early sixties since thats when i began my first steady steps along the rough road from my dwelling to that towkay's shop,clutching a stained 5 sen coin in one hand ,and sucking my fingers of the other hand...
i was 6 when i tasted my first luxurious ais kapai while my cousins looked on enviously,with their drooling tongues...every suck i took from that ais kapai drew more and more drooling from them,and it made me even suck harder at the ais kapai before my mom came out and ordered me to give my cousins a taste of it as well as it was the honest thing to do....but my mom did not come out of the kitchen so i finished my first ais kapai on my own and i guess that was the first sin i committed ,being greedy,tempting others emotionally,incuring jealousy and wrath of my ever present cousins.....anyway the first experince of the ais kapai still remains fresh in my mind,only bcoz i enjoyed it by my self......

note: ais kapai = its scrapped ice shaped into a ball and had thick brown sugar syrup and red
syrup poured over it and dished out on a piece of old newspaper piece.
