Cold ,chilled and healthy drinks are like treat in hot summer days. Summer days in April-May are very hottest, but these days also give fun in playing watersports , enjoying holidays , going to Granny's place, non-stop playing with friends in park and specially no studies. And what about Afternoons? Yeah, Afternoon are for having some cold drinks. These times are specially for sugar cane juice, Lemonade, Aam ka Panna , Ice creams and many more.
