not a surprise as paan has so many unknowns thrown into it.....and sometimes a real task to chew and swallow it....

OMG! you tried paan!? really? you tried paan without me?? jk (ie. I cant BELIEVE you smoked weed without me! haha)

wait.. theres meetha paan and then paan paan with tobacco and those rock things... which is what can kill you if your gallbladder blows up.

im so not paki - i hate mangos, mithai, sonf and not into paan but i so wanna try it just so i can spit the juice out in a shirt pocket.(apparently thats what you do with the juice) just not MY shirt pocket.. someone else's shirt pocket.
ISNA 2006 - I will try paan.
