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.

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
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 (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
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.

Rangabhoomi: Dada Saheb Phalke’s life in Varanasi
Rangbhoomi – Kamal Swaroop in collaboration with Films division of India has made a documentary on the Benaras stint of Dadasaheb Phalke. This documentary is a most insincere exercise – either a result of the director’s whims or some tacky work aiming the film awards.

NaMo Chai @ Cha Bar
Riding on the Narendra Modi wave, Cha Bar at Connaught Place has been serving NaMo chai in a basic aluminium kettle with Modi’s pic on it. The idea is very novel. Salute to the democracy system that enables someone to reach the highest office, his frugal background notwithstanding.
