Sweet Melon Magic in a Bowl

This one dessert we use to wait for during the long Indian summers back when we were kids having fun during our summer school hols. My mum used to make this quite often with any kind of melon that was available...mostly with honey dew melons. You can add/substitute watermelon or musk melon to this too.
