A city that was… RHYTHM HOUSE – practically every music lover of Mumbai must have visited this iconic haven of CDs, DVDs, even when Cassettes were prevalent, at least once, before it made way for fashion. I’m glad to have captured this legend from erstwhile Mumbai, one of those architectural wonders from bygone era, that…
India’s largest New Year Bash!!! and we were most happy to be a part of it 🙂 Essel World, the ginormous amusement park that’s been regaling us Mumbai-ites for more than 2 decades. It is in fact our very own little Disneyland of sorts and we take great pride in talking about it. Built on an island called…
Sbarro was just another pizzta (that’s my version of pizza+pasta) haunt for me, until I got a peek of it in one of the daily sitcoms. Intrigued and a bit of RnD later, I learnt that it’s a franchise of the quick-service Italian food joint Sbarro, NYC. Here, in Mumbai, Sbarro is one of the crowded joints on the…
Village, The Soul Of India, on the first floor of the Nirmal Lifestyle Mall seemed to invite us every time we visited the mall. With a number of people going in and out, this place always looked happening in the otherwise quiet mall. Intrigued by the charming entrance and the name, we decided to pop in for…
During the ten day Ganesh Chaturthi festival, there’s nothing more I enjoy than visiting as many Ganesh Pandals as I can and capturing the magnificent idols in my lens. I was completely overwhelmed by the profound beauty and splendor that every idol exuberated. Totally awestruck, I kept gawking and wondering how much efforts and dexterity it…
Ganesh Chaturthi is one of the most awaited and celebrated festivals in Mumbai. A festival which brings the city together, which is a reason for happiness and in which religion doesn’t matter. There are thousands of Sarvajanik Ganesh Mandals vying for the title of the biggest, the wealthiest or the most beautiful idol of all. Efforts…
Since when did they start selling Ganesh idols in supermarkets? Whats gotten into the minds of people these days? Its really heart-wrenching. Now the Gods come with an attached price-tag, may be even an offer, sitting in the the midst of that commotion just like any other commodity, waiting for someone to pick them up. Am…
Nothing entices my taste buds as does Moghlai food. Cooked in aromatic spices and fresh herbs, the flavours linger in your mouth even after you are done eating. Persian Darbar is a perfect deal for Moghlai, North Indian, Tandoori and Chinese cuisine. We’d been a number of times to their branch on the Linking Road, Bandra West to devour…
When it comes to Lower Parel, there’s no dearth of options to drink and dine. Adding to this list is the new restaurant/lounge that opened this month in the Peninsula Business Park. Aquaba is a 3000 sq. ft. restaurant with 1000 sq. ft. al fresco section named after the quaint and picturesque city in Jordan. This…
Yesterday I logged on to my Facebook account only to see it loaded with Ramadan wishes from my Muslim and non-Muslim friends. Couldn’t believe that a year had passed since I had treated my gut to the authentic Muslim delights on the streets of Southern Mumbai. And once again, it’s time to rewind and repeat. Its Ramadan folks!!!…
