Celebrity Millions

If you become rich, you are bound to become richer, and if you are celebrity, it is hard to turn into a pauper. How? Courtesy, the media which is always willing to shower you with criticism, praise and money – lots of it! You become a parent, you get millions of dollars to publish your […]

Krimzon Café at Suncity Gurgaon

People, don’t think I am just eating out nowadays. I have a family, and my mother cooks wonderful and customized food. It has so happened in the past few days that I have ended up eating out out of compulsion. Even innocuous informal meetings have ended up in lunch meets. Like yesterday, when I ended […]

Chak De India!

India’s tour to New Zealand has always been a bit special. India-NZ are not traditional rivals like India-Pak or Aus-NZ, but there have always been a profound rivalry between the two teams. India undoubtedly has a poor record in New Zealand. The last time India visited NZ they just managed to win 2 out of […]

Lunch Buffet at Orchid, the Fortune Hotel, Gurgaon

It was not planned to happen this way. I was passing by my cousin’s workplace and we decided to catch up. Since it was his birthday, we had a good reason to meet also. He asked me to come over to his office at Global Business Park, where finding parking is tougher than breaching the […]

Orange Hara at Rajouri Garden

Orange Hara Kitchen & Bar at Paragon Mall in Rajouri Garden is one of the latest restaurants to come up in the sprawling malls at Rajouri Garden. Being a Sunday afternoon, Swaran and I had gone to Costa Coffee to discuss some business over iced tea. As it turned out, we got over with the […]

The Swat Surrender

Yesterday, I was talking to a friend about the Swat Valley, which has been in the news for the past few days. It has come as a shocker to all of us without a speck of doubt. My friend also indicated that the next target is Karachi, after the Talibanization of the Swat Valley. It […]

Richie Rich India

When I was a kid I used to read Richie Rich and his life of a rich kid who had no dearth of money. He is the richest kid in the world, wears a waistcoat and has a faithful and round-the-clock butler in Cadbury at his service all the time. The hero was fascinating, and […]

Howzatt at The Galaxy Hotel

So, here I come with another restaurant review. Sorry, I need to make a correction. It is not a restaurant but a microbrewery. Hotel Galaxy is located behind 32nd milestone in the suburbs. I have been to Galaxy earlier when I went to The Monk, which in my books, is just above average, but there […]

Billu – The Barber without a Title

I was quite amazed to read that SRK had to remove the word “Barber” from his originally titled film “Billu Barber”. Reason? Because the so-called community of barbers termed it as derogatory. SRK understandably obliged to the demands of the barbers across the country because he did want to lose money by delaying the much-hyped […]

Amici and Chonas at Khan Market

Chona! Chona! Not so Sona!
Yesterday was one of those days when I made a trip to the same market twice in a day. No, I was not dating two different women on Valentine’s Day! For that matter, and to no one’s amusement, not even one! Jokes apart, I was accompanying one of my friends who […]
