Salaam Sigree

It just so happened on Saturday night that I had my cousin and her family at our place and we decided to go out for dinner – and the demand was to eat Indian food. Drifting away from the usual Italian/Chinese, we zeroed in on Sigree which is a new restaurant right next to Mainland […]

3 Cheers!

I hail from a very unorthodox family, that is if I make a comparison with my friends families. Let me clarify what I mean by unorthodox. We are a family where all four of us (mother, father, sister and I) can openly discuss about any topic under the sun and laugh over it. I can […]

Don’t Ever Go to Golden Dragon at DT Mega Mall

Sometimes you are destined to have bad food no matter how many dishes you order in a restaurant. The same thing happened with me when I made a trip to Golden Dragon at DT Mega Mall in Gurgaon. I have been to the other Golden Dragon branches and it was never that bad. I had […]

A Tiger Unleashed

Before I laid my hands on The White Tiger, I, to a large and unprecedented extent, was intrigued by the mixed reviews and views readers had on this Man Booker Prize Winner. The elite prize undoubtedly escalates the sales of any book that it chooses to endow itself upon. Aravind Adiga’s wonderful book has not […]

Neemrana Fort and Palace - A Trip to the Bygone Era

Going for office offsite trips is always a memorable experience, especially when you have young and enthusiastic people with you. After weeks of contemplation and cancellations, we eventually decided to make a visit to Neemrana Hotels and Forts, which is a two and a half hour drive from Delhi on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway. The roads […]

Sahib Sindh Sultan at Ambience Mall, Gurgaon

I had heard rave reviews of Sahib Sindh Sultan from a very close friend. I generally do not prefer going to Indian restaurants, as I am quite sick of having various Mughlai preparations of Chicken since my younger years. Butter Chicken stopped fascinating me years ago. Sahib Sindh Sultan is one of the BJN Group […]

War on Cricket

It has not come entirely as a shock to me. Neither was I expecting it to happen. It is certainly a shocking piece of news, nevertheless. It is an unprecedented attack on cricketers, though not on sportsmen by and large. One can never erase the Munich Massacre from his mind – an incident that left […]

Watching Valkyrie

Many movies have been made on holocaust and Nazi Germany, but never have I come across as interesting theme as Valkyrie. Set in Nazi Germany during World War II, Valkyrie centers around the July 20, 1944 plot to assassinate the Fuhrer. Tom Cruise plays the role of the protagonist, the dashing colonel Claus von Stauffenberg, […]

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

There are films and there are films. The former are surreal, fictitious, dreamy, and entertaining. The latter are thought-provoking, unusual and artist works. Going by this segregation, Benjamin Button truly belongs to the second category. I had learnt about Benjamin Button more than a year back at imdb.com, and since then I have been waiting […]
