The encouraging recollections of youth originate from those mystery snapshots of joy when you realized the prohibited natural product consistently tasted the best. Regardless of whether it was the celebration of Eid or only an impulse on a sweltering Summer's day – Seviyan is a treat that I constantly hungered for, and was constantly advised was intended to be eaten on uncommon events, however, my grandma would consistently humor me!

To me, Seviyan has consistently been a sentimental pastry – one that praises the sentiment of the land's history, the glow of Pakistani friendliness, the cool ocean breeze of the shoreline of the Arabian Sea and the adoration we have for our Land of the Pure (the strict significance of the word Pakistan). It features all the smells utilized in our sweets, ones acquired from our Mughal legacy, Irani impacts, and Muslim conventions – it above all else helps me to remember apathetic, joyful, safe days of my youth and experiencing childhood in a nation that to me will consistently be home. Each chomp transports me to glad, unlimited Summers in Karachi and the wellbeing of both my grandma's arms and the wrapping fragrances of their kitchens, where I took in my energy for food.
