If you haven’t heard, I enjoy packing. Some might even say, I get a little obsessive about it. But that doesn’t mean I’m perfect. If there’s one mistake I’m repeatedly guilty of making while packing, it’s over-doing it. Is this a girl thing? I don’t know. But it’s definitely a problem when the need for comfort and convenience are … Continue reading Why it’s high time I let go of my excess baggage
Ever since I moved out of Mumbai in 2011, I’ve revisited the city at least once every year. Last year, I even went twice. Surprisingly, or not so surprisingly in my case, every time I passed the MTNL building in Bandra, what I did not know was that I was passing India’s largest mural. Last … Continue reading Did you know this is India’s largest mural?
Because I work full-time, simply taking off every morning and exploring the city for Project Bangalore is not a possibility. Got to make the moolah to travel, you know? Which is why, when I stumbled upon the article ‘On Foot: Discovering Bengaluru’s Riveting History’ by Zay O’Yeah on NatGeo’s website (the article unfortunately can “no longer … Continue reading Walking my way through Bangalore
Today’s post is courtesy of my dear, dear friend, Kriti. A few months back Kriti revisited her home in state of Uttarakhand. Ever since she told me about her grandmother’s house up in the hills, overlooking the Himalayas, I’ve wanted to talk about it on the blog, and of course some day visit it. You’ll … Continue reading Revisiting home, in the hills of Uttarakhand
Last year, I had a chance to visit Jammu over a weekend to attend one of my best friends’ engagement. I didn’t get to explore the city but I did get to visit what was in my experience, the smallest airport. The Jammu airport ends as soon as it begins. It has all of two gates, … Continue reading The smallest airport I’ve ever been to
In the 7th grade, my now best friend of 13 years, invited me home for iftaar. The only two things that I can recall from that meal are the apple-date milkshake and these little home-made triangular pastries that resembled samosas but were a lighter, softer and non-deep fried version of it. I remember how delicate they were … Continue reading Iftaar treats | Bannerghatta Road
Imagine a bustling decades-old street, occupied to the brim with food stalls and shops, some covered in the hissing smoke arising from kebabs on the coal-fired grill, some resonating the cheers that arise every time dough hits hot oil and each one’s lure stronger than the other. There are people everywhere, there’s even more food everywhere. Luscious, rich, heavy food. … Continue reading Iftaar treats: Mohammed Ali Road in Mumbai
For someone who doesn’t enjoy waking up early or stuffing her face as soon as she wakes up, I put in a lot of (according to me) effort to do exactly that in Kolkata. Because we landed in Kolkata at 7:30 in the morning, the first thing on our agenda was to find a place … Continue reading 5 places to try breakfast in Kolkata
The thing I love about festivals in India, is that follower or non-follower, when it comes to the festival food, everybody’s game. With Eid coming up soon, we’re right in the middle of the month of Ramzan. And there’s a whole lot of good food to be had. Unfortunately, this year, the usual food stalls that are … Continue reading Iftaar treats: JNC Road
Few things in life can make me wake up early in the morning and run out of the house/hotel in the t-shirt I slept in. Pork buns are one of them. A couple of months ago, I came across this blog post where I read about the Chinese breakfast market in Kolkata. With a trip to … Continue reading Waking up to Chinese breakfast in Kolkata
