Last two days I had probably dreamt of falafal and similar other dishes each time my eyelids met each other. I had been thinking of Doner Kebabs too. The weather being amazing today (almost 22°C while Bangalore showed 21°C) we saw most of our neighbors coming out for a walk , skating , etc. We…

And the clock struck 0300 !
Ever since I joined the millennial work force , I heard often of the term #daylightsaving. What it meant to us then : in the month of November , from a certain Monday the work which probably used to start at 4.30 pm will now start at 5.30 p.m. by IST. In the following years,…
Añejo – our ‘première’ NYC brunch experience
A cousin of ours was visiting New York City for her work. When I asked her , what can we do together when we meet , she popped the idea of a NYC brunch ! While I am here for a little over 5 months, but I definitely don’t know this city , the way…
Taboo is good – at least in this case (I am talking about the word game)
Week 21 highlights : I have started going to the French Institute : Alliance Francaise. I have visited the Alliance Francaise, in each city I have called home , or stayed for sometime. I just don’t know why it took my almost 4.5 months to visit this one. It just did not occur to me….
Not all meals are memorable – but each meal serves a purpose (weekly dinner date #3)
We have made it a ritual to go for at least one weekday dinner date. The days change . The plan is always impromptu. Yesterday I went to alliance francaise, NYC & then Kalustyan’s. I had planned and had dinner ready too, but after all the walking around just wanted to sit somewhere and tell…

At the end of week 19 and having met or hosted about 4 friends from Pune, Bangalore , Kolkata in this part of the world , I feel confident to step out alone . When my friends have a stipulated time to discover New York or have specific things to see or eat , I…
My Friend came to visit NYC , but we went back to Bombay’s
I belong to that group of people , for whom it will always be “Bombay”, “Calcutta”, the old charm , the old names. There is something in those words which are not easy to shrug off. The first time , I saw the name, I remember clicking a pic and sending it to all my…
A snowy evening , an Aussi steakhouse experience to make it memorable (weekly dinner date #2)
When we moved to Secaucus (US) five months back we remember making a resolution of trying all the restaurants in the hood . We tried a few initially and then continuously kept going to New York and hence somewhere lost a track of that resolution. Last week we went to the olive garden and had…
