Bharat Parv 2016 – Celebrating India
A 6 days festival was organised by the Government to commemorate Republic Day and arouse our patriotic spirit. It was a unique endeavour showcasing the crafts / food / culture from various parts of India. Aptly named BharatParv, here is what we saw.
Udupi Sai Sarovar
Udupi Sai Sarovar at Central Market, Lajpat Nagar is not an oft discussed place in foodie circuits. We wonder why! This is our go-to place for vegetarian food and they have recently revamped the restaurant. The place has become even better.
Out Of The Box – Gurgaon
OTB is located strategically at the upscale sector 29 food hub in Gurgaon. As part of a reviewer meetup we visited this place and it left us unimpressed. To think out of the box one should first look inwards.
Aligarh – A professor who couldn’t take any more lessons from life
The recent release of Hansal Mehta’s film Aligarh has been fraught with controversies – be it issues raised by the Censor Board or the touchy regional sentiments. Given that there is no star cast – glamorous actors – foreign local – fights or even a shaadi, we were not sure how long this would last in the cinema halls and watched this at the first opportunity. We are glad we did!
Sweet Obsession – Not so sweet experience
Deserts are de rigueur for any celebration. Ordering-in makes life a little convenient. We recently ordered a birthday cake from Sweet Obsession, a popular bakery. We learnt about the pitfalls of ordering desert delivery in this process.
Antigone – Bengali play
Antigone, the Greek tragedy was presented at Kamani Auditorium at Bharat Rang Mahotsav. This is a socio-political play that is relevant given the mindless violence that we see around us. Socio-political theatre is not very common on Delhi NCR stages. Hence, braving the Tuesday evening peak hour traffic, we made it a point to watch this play.
10 Health tips for food bloggers
The last couple of years have been great for the hospitality industry in Delhi NCR. New restaurants open up in this region every other day. To promote themselves, restaurants invite food reviewers to taste their food and write reviews. Some get invited several times in a week or at times in a day – at the cost of their health and well-being. But a food blogger can have his cake and eat it too. Here is how…
Daawat-e-Kashmir
Daawat-E-Kashmir serves Kashmiri dishes along with other North Indian fare in Gurgaon. We recently got to have their fare on home delivery and emitted a long Indian burp post dinner!
The California Boulevard – Gurgaon
As bloggers we get to sample various food places and are very happy to have a space to share our take. What matters most to us is the complete experience. The California Boulevard is a rather fancy place. But is it worthy enough to sacrifice our much loved home dinners – dal – roti – rice – fish? We decided to check for ourselves.
Dopehri – Play reading by Pankaj Kapur
One of the first plays of Bharat Rang Mahotsav was “Dopehri”, a play read by Pankaj Kapur. Almost all theatre lovers of Delhi had swarmed the spacious Kamani Auditorium, some with tickets, and many more looking for tickets. Given the demand for this play, Bharat Rang Mahotsav arranged an additional show that afternoon. Read on for our experience.
Chin Chin – Chinese cuisine in Gurgaon
We condemn China for dumping their low standard goods in the Indian market. But we can’t blame them for intrusion of Chinese cuisine in our diet – this is something Indians have done ourselves. Quite happily, we have given Chinese cookery such twists that the true red Chinese would be horrified. To explore Chin Chin’s take on this, we recently visited this place for a Chinese vegetarian dinner.
18th Bharat Rang Mahotsav, 2016
Winters in Delhi are on their way out, giving way to a much pleasant and festive whether. If you are done with attending weddings and Lohri get-togethers, you can try Bharat Rang Mahotsav, a three-weeks festival of handpicked plays from India and abroad.
Delhi to Kasauli Road Trip
Living in fast-paced Delhi NCR, we crave quick getaways. With little prep time, Himachal’s mountains offer a solution. In just 6 hours, reach Kasauli, a 6100-ft hill station.

Crusty Gourmet Pizzas & More
People in Delhi NCR like their heavy carbs that start with P – Parathas, Pooris and Pizzas. Consequently more and more pizza places are opening up with the intent to live up to the local palette. Crusty Pizza has come up with some such Indianised pizzas that may or may not work depending on which side of Puritanism you are.
