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 […]

Why I didn’t like Delhi 6?

After the smashing success that was Rang De Basanti, I had expected another thought-provoking movie with an agenda, instead I find a highly ambitious and unsystematic movie from Director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra- “Delhi -6”. I don’t know if it’s meant to be a sarcastic take on the Indian society, but it definitely is an exaggerated […]

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 […]

Delhi 6- A kaleidoscopic View of Old Delhi

Being an ardent fan of Abhishek Bachchan ( NO, I didn’t watch Drona) and completely in love with Delhi, I had to watch Delhi 6! After Rang De Basanti, Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra has come up with yet another movie which encapsulates a brilliant execution, great cinematography, innovative script and a social message. I liked Delhi […]

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 […]
