There is no dearth of options for any of the above preferences in Delhi NCR. To celebrate Mother’s Day, we lunched at Bell Pepperz, a vegetarian restaurant of the liberated variety.
Delhi-Ciously Chekov – Play featuring Tom Alter
Tom Alter is a regular feature in the Delhi theatre circuit. The flip side is he is part of lot of productions that solely depend on his popularity to pull off the act. They are negligent about the script and other aspects of productions. We are therefore a little wary when we watch a play that has Alter. Nonetheless, the play “Delhi-Ciously Chekov” was recently held at Epicentre, Gurgaon and we went to watch this a Sunday evening.

Nil Battey Sannata–What went wrong with a right film?
The trailer of Nil Battey Sannata was encouraging and we were looking forward to watching this film. Given that this was a story without romance / action / typical song-dance sequences, we were not confident that it would run very long at cinemas. So, we watched it soon after its release in a 30% occupied auditorium in Gurgaon. Actually, that’s not so bad. Even if some audience turn up for experimental films, the going is good.
Thai Food in Delhi – J W Marriot, Aerocity

J W Marriot at Aerocity near the airport is holding a Bangkok Food Festival. We visited this event last weekend to taste some Thai food.

Zomato meetup at Lutyen’s Cocktail House
Lutyen’s Cocktail House is located at the rather isolated Janpath crossing near CP. With most areas having a different café at adjacent doors, CP – Hauz Khas Village – Rajouri Garden – Sector 29 Gurgaon – there is a lotto competition and chaos. At Lutyen’s Cocktail House, the surrounding area is peaceful and given that this is the only resto-bar here, there is not a lot of commotion. Works well on any evening.
