I have lived in hostels for close to 12 years and mess food killed all my taste buds. However it has been 11 years since I left hostel and I am regaining some interest in food. Mind you just a little, so don’t expect much out of this post. I am now going to talk…

How many times have you seen me doing a post on food? Almost zilch is the answer. My umpteen years of hostel food have killed all my taste buds. But this time at Suryagarh there was something about food that I could not ignore. So here I am, trying to pen some food thoughts. I…

Bunny Chow- The Indian Connection in Durban, South Africa

Posted on June 11, 2013May 13, 2021

In Durban the Indian media group members were already talking about Bunny Chow. Being a vegetarian I initial thought it has something to do with a rabbit! After all we were in South Africa! Thankfully my suspicions were completely unfounded and Bunny Chow feels like a close cousin of our Paav Bhaji in India. Both…

In Praise of Kahwa!

Posted on March 11, 2013May 18, 2021

There is Something About Dilli Haat

Posted on March 4, 2013May 18, 2021

I have been to Dilli Haat many times. It is a favorite place of mine to visit with my sister. I have taken guests there too and everyone has come back impressed. For me the attraction is obvious. It is a very colorful place and in good weather it means tons of opportunities to take…

Cheetah ka Tou Pata Nahin per Monkey Jarur Peeta hai!

Posted on January 27, 2013May 21, 2021

Posted on November 28, 2012April 21, 2025

I have to admit when Gajendra ji suggested the village breakfast I was a bit skeptical. But I kept my thoughts to myself and agreed to go ahead with their plans. Later in the day we were going to visit the Rawli Tatgarh Sanctuary as well. We started towards the village at 8.30 am and…
