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.
Dr. M Balamuralikrishna – Carnatic Recital
Good music breaks barriers as it has a language of its own. Dr. M Balamuralikrishna, a living legend of Carnatic music (remember the DD national integration song ‘Mile Sur Mera Tumhara’), performed at IHC on 16th November. We could not follow the lyrics in Tamil / Sanskrit. But that did not come in the way of our experience in enjoying the concert.

Oh My God
As my friend and co-blogger for delhi-fun-dos.com keeps saying “Man at his best is god”. This is probably what this film is trying to say. A film with a message. Watch it for awesome script and great performances.
Jug Jug Jiyo
“Jug Jug Jiyo” was about celebrating the girl child. In a simple and entertaining manner, the 1 hour 15 minutes play managed to touch the right chords. The play looked like an extension of “Vickey Donor”. Dolly Ahluwalia and Swaroopa Ghosh in their respective Punjabi and Bengali women roles brought life to the characters.

Filmbooth First Cut – December Edition
All good things come to an end and so is Filmbooth – First Cut series. (I heard they are just taking a break. I hope they really mean it. I loved Filmbooth First Cut screenings of short films. Hope to see them back with a collection of some great short films real soon)
The selection of movies for their last edition of First Cut was a mixed bag. As one of the organizers said – It had something for everybody.

RATI : THE FEMINIST SOLILOQUY ON THE GODDESS OF LOVE
Then came the narrative which was long and boring. The script leant on the crutch made of borrowed Hindi film songs. So much for creative expression! Sohaila Kapoor’s stylish reading notwithstanding, the dull and repetitive writing was beyond salvation.
