Gharwali – Hindi play
To celebrate the 100th birth centenary of the famous Urdu writer Ismat Chughtai, a play based on her story Gharwali was staged at India Habitat Centre. The play, directed by Shuddho Banerjee, questions the ideas of sexual freedom, role of marriage and other associated issues in the Indian society. The actors are amateurs but the storyline, direction, songs and dances compensate. All together this is an apt Saturday evening watch.
Teatotaller – Top Tea Places in Delhi NCR
Winter is here and so are the chai wallahs at various markets, crossings, nooks and corners. Their aromatic decoction has warmed many a winter mornings. In the last few years tea has graduated to cafes and bored of coffee, many have changed allegiance. No wonder the tea cafes are experiencing growing patronage all over NCR. We have been trying these out – for our benefit – and yours too 🙂 Here’s our report.
Krackerjack Karnival – Why do “bade log” have all the fun!
Krackerjack Karnival transformed JLN Stadium into a fairy land. The festival was one of the few events solely held for children. The cartoon characters like Chhota Bheem and others were available to meet and greet little fans. The fair had game shows, performances, workshops, rides, food and merchandise for children as well as their parents. In tune with the season, there were bits and pieces of Santa everywhere and it seemed that Christmas had an early start in Delhi.
FLYP@Mtv – New kid on the block
We were recently invited to the launch party of FLYP@Mtv. This is the latest kid-on-the-block in Delhi’s club/pub/live music scene. They served a wide variety of fusion food and deserts that had some Indian twist. Among the cocktails, the coffee based “Tall dark and Irish” is a must try. Most importantly, the warmth and hospitality of the waiting guys won our heart. Their outstanding enthusiasm made us feel much at home and we may just go back to FLYP if we want to feel pampered.
Mohiniattam recital by Jayaprabha Menon
Jayabrabha Menon, a much felicitated Mohiniattam dancer performed at India Habitat Centre recently. She enthralled the audience with her aesthetic movements and meticulous mudras. Mohiniattam of Kerala, one of the eight classical dance forms of India is not very well-known in Delhi. Hence we look forward to more such performances in future.
Unwind at Adda by Striker
Striker is a popular name among pubs and breweries in Delhi NCR. Adda by Striker, after garnering a decent reputation in Gurgaon has opened a new branch GK 1, N-Block market. This was the venue for a recent Zomato Meetup where we were invited. Frankly we did not think much of the cocktails. However, some of the snacks were nice. But the desserts, Choco Mud Pie and Tres Leches Cake, were surprisingly tasty and positively sealed the experience for us.
Tamasha – Story of a storyteller
Tamasha by Imtiaz Ali stars Ved (Ranbir Kapoor) as a man trapped in a mundane corporate job with a passion for story telling. He meets Tara (Deepika Padukone) who becomes the medium bringing transformation in his life. We know many around us who, given a choice, would have been in a different profession. The film is for them. Notwithstanding its flaws, Tamasha is an honest and enjoyable effort and a must watch for the die hard romantics.
ELF Cafe & Bar – Hauz Khas Village
The ELF Cafe & Bar is located close to the entrance of the Hauz Khas Village but you might just miss it among the more prominent glow boards on that building. It’s a spacious lounge area and seating arrangements are also available on the balcony. One can have a bird’s eye view of the busy HKV gully from here. The food is just about OK. If you are in that area and can’t find a footing at the other places, you may give this place a shot.
“To Bait Fish withal” – The Merchant of Venice
Shakespeare’s play “The Merchant of Venice” is perhaps one of his most read works. Dramatech staged this all English play at LTG Auditorium and this was directed by Renu S. Chopra. The performance was decent and given the lawlessness that we frequently encounter around us, the play had an instant connect with the audience. This rendition of “The Merchant of Venice” was an apt weekend watch.
