Tribute to Coldplay at Hard Rock Cafe with Radio One

We recently attended “Tribute to Coldplay” concert at Hard Rock Cafe, Saket. It was an event in collaboration with Radio One 94.3 FM and the cover band coldplayers played a series of popular cold play songs. Apart from the music we enjoyed HRC’s legendary chicken burger, potato wedges, nachos along with drinks.

Weekend Trip – Delhi to Mount Abu

Weekend Trip – Delhi to Mount Abu

Mount Abu is the only hill station in Rajasthan. We found Mount Abu to be a very activity oriented hill station. There are temples, sunset points, forests, trekking, shopping options, a lake, heritage places and options galore. Even in the month of June an excellent weather made this trip very pleasant and memorable for us.

Gudiya Ghar – A play based on Ibsen’s ‘A Doll’s House’

Gudiya Ghar – A play based on Ibsen’s ‘A Doll’s House’

Ibsen’s “A Doll’s House” is arguably the most performed play in the world. In an era of male domination, this play charts the journey of a housewife, living under the shadows of her father and husband. It was disappointing that the theatre group made a shoddy show of this classic.

The All American Diner – Habitat

The All American Diner – Habitat

The All American Diner is perhaps the first American style food joints of Delhi. Located inside India Habitat Centre, this place emits good vibes. Our all time favourites are Sunrise Skillet (also a must try as per Zomato listing) and pancakes with maple syrup, honey etc.

T’Pot Cafe – Tea bar in Malviya Nagar

T’Pot Cafe – Tea bar in Malviya Nagar

T’pot Cafe, Malviya Nagar looks like a set from a KJo film – florescent color walls, guitars for decor etc. Thronged by college kids mostly, its a very noisy place almost like a college canteen. We ordered basic stuff like Masala ginger tea and muffin and liked it.

The Grand Budapest Hotel-A comic murder mystery

The Grand Budapest Hotel-A comic murder mystery

In a decadent Hungarian luxury hotel Ralph Fiennes, the concierge “Gustav M” befriends rich lonely widows, creates a special bond with them and they keep coming back fore more…and then there’s a murder, a stolen painting, a prison break, chase and the works. It’s a very smart film with a host of big Hollywood stars that keeps you at the edge of your seat for a reasonable duration of 1 hour and 40 minutes.

Kolkata Biryani House-Calcutta style Biryani in Delhi NCR

Kolkata Biryani House-Calcutta style Biryani in Delhi NCR

The Kolkata Biryani House in Gurgaon served us an almost perfect Biryani in the Calcutta style. This Biryani emanated from the Awadhi style brought to Kolkata by Wajed Ali Shah. It always comes with a huge boiled potato and is subtly flavored with saffron, rose water and other fragrant spices.

Rang De Basanti Dhaba – Let Sarojini Nagar be for clothes only

Rang De Basanti Dhaba – Let Sarojini Nagar be for clothes only

Rang De Basanti (a dhaba themed restaurant) has moved to a mall in the Sarojini Nagar market. We had liked the experience at their erstwhile outlet at South Ex. The tractor looked stylish there, here it looked redundant. Its an OK place if you want typical north Indian food. Nothing much to write home about.

Wagh Bakri Tea Lounge-Probably the only tea bar in north West Delhi

Wagh Bakri Tea Lounge-Probably the only tea bar in north West Delhi

The concept of tea lounges is uncommon in north/west Delhi and we were pleasantly surprised to discover Waagh Bakri Tea Lounge – the place is aesthetic but unassuming. The tables had many board games such as Chess, Scrabble etc. Our tea that evening was sweeter because of the longish hand that we had on Scrabble.

Dilwara Temples – Poetry carved in stone
