Rum, Rasam and Raaga

There was a phase in my youth that I recall where "rum and coca-cola" was a mood to swing to. Decades later, I discover the same pleasures with a different twist - ahem...maturity. This year has been particularly cold in Bangalore and a little while back I was introduced to all kinds of cocktails with indian twist...so now, I can imagine no greater pleasure than to be curled on my diwaan with a glass of rum n' pepper rasam all to the moods of some evening raaga - say Marwa?
