The Curious Case of Carter Road

April 28, 2013 · by desh · in Food, Marketing, Mumbai

A Butter Bath at Sardar

A Butter Bath at Sardar

April 20, 2013 · by desh · in Food, Mumbai

Happy High on Coffee

Happy High on Coffee

December 19, 2012 · by desh · in Beverage, Event review, Mumbai

Thali Memoirs and A Visit to Rajdhani

Thali Memoirs and A Visit to Rajdhani

September 23, 2012 · by desh · in Ahmedabad, Flashback, Food, Memoirs, stories, and poems, Mumbai, Restaurant review

Honestly, I have slightly moved away from the Thali format (by Thali I mean the Unlimited Thali formats, representative of the scores of Marwari-Rajasthani-Gujarati style platters). My initial indulgence in Thalis was a result of petty bets on hogging more…

What keeps me going?

These lines by former Prime Minister of India, Shri. Atal Bihari Vajpayee,

हार नहीं मानूंगा,
रार नहीं ठानूंगा,
काल के कपाल पर लिखता-मिटाता हूँ।
गीत नया गाता हूँ।
