Anytime is good to hit a hookah lounge.
Go in. Slide into a stream of placid thoughts. A deep puff of Hookah has it all! Chill your neuro-circuits with ice-cool smoke passed through water. Have a serene settle down.!
Brought the past glory back.. Hookah remarkably penetrated into metropolitan youth, to become a slice of their culture. The last couple of years has seen rapid growth in its using-up. Coming to our city, the trend erupted just months back. The long-stemmed wedge joined the conservative cigar, cigarette, blah blah blah...
Hookah, also called Sheesha, has its roots on our own ground. The history goes way-back to Mughal’s era. Asserted the writer Cyril Elgood that Akbar’s physician Hakim Abul Fatḥ Gilani initiated the idea. Subsequently, it crawled to Iran, Persian and other middle-east countries. Lebanese people have been citing it as Nargileh.
This ancient water pipe has been used for centuries to smoke away from the day's stress while relaxing with friends and relatives.
Consumer: “Earlier I used to see this hookah in folk movies. And just recently I have come to know about a hookah lounge here. One of my friends introduced this to me. Now I am frequently enjoying this, along with my friends”
Say experts, the Hookah smokers have a much more balanced approach to life than cigarette smokers do. Surprisingly, their study discloses that hookah has a relatively smaller effect on health compared to other tobacco products. Some even say that the impact is almost negligible.
Before long, the water begins to turn brown; smokers say it is filtering out many of the harmful substances that they would otherwise be inhaling. Technically speaking, water takes away approximately 90% of harmful chemicals and so a pipe contains merely 0.5% nicotine and 0% tar. Also, if it’s inhaled, there is no danger of lung cancer, doctors assure.
The sect of youth who are typically health-conscious have something to say, Mr.healthies are making a point that the smoke is lightly intoxicating than cigarette smoke. And adding that as the smoke is noticeably cooler, it doesn’t cause throat irritation as dry tobacco does.
Four are the parts of the water pipe. The bottom one is made of glass where the water is contained. This part is connected to a brass figure top which is the heart of hookah. This regulator takes the smoke from the tobacco when the person inhales from the "lai" which is a flexible tube that ends with a mouthpiece. The whole apparatus, made of a variety of materials is also richly decorated.
The frozen breeze of tobacco has different avatars. Besides its natural plain form, it comes in various flavors like apple Tofahah, which is the most popular, strawberry, mint, rose, apricot blah blah.
Hookah’s menu shows figures starting from Rs.150 per hour. Elite flavors go up to Rs.800 too. Sales figures in the recent past stood tall showing the culmination. It is hard to imagine a buff’s day without an hour-full hookah.
Riding the hookah wave, the means exudes an unmistakable ambiance: languor, indulgence, and a sense of past opulence. And this is the ecstasy bestowed by the drift of hookah lounges.
Nestled in road number seven of Banjara Hills, Mocha lounge gives scope to puffs of Hookah along with sips of coffee amidst manicured gardens. Cafés with hookahs are big crowd pullers. Sheesha & Kebabs of road seven offers the joy of hookah added with kebab bites as well. These are what seems as the most happening places, letting the freaks hook to hookah!
