I loved this mural by artist @chinonmaria depicting cultural diversity in front of the World Trade Centre. I still remember that day when a friend called up to tell that #worldtradecenter was under attack and it's all over the news ,we switched on the television set and stood still. Later, I have had the opportunity to speak to couple of our DULs in office who were there in the building , when the mishap happened and how they walked down all the stairs, etc. And here I was in front of the same building (new) last Sunday #avrilinusa #payertolayshorshe #lifelikeneverbefore #lifeinusa🇺🇸 #newyorker #newyork #manhattan #worldtradecenter #indiantravelblogger #indianblogger #ilovetotalkaboutmyexperiences #alliancefordowntownnewyork #downiswhatsup #unhcr #muraltounite #pictureoftheday
Whenever I visit a country there are couple of banal places I visit for sure. One of those places are : the local post office. This was my first visit to the local #usps It had everything one might need from the post offices - stamps, envelopes , greetings cards to even a #scotchtape But working hours are stringent Mon - Fri 1000 - 1400 & weekends off. #payertolayshorshe #newlifetobegin #avrilinusa #avrillachaud #avrillovestotravel #lifelikeneverbefore #postoffice #picoftheday #experienceoftheday #lifeinusa🇺🇸 #settlingdown #octfestt16 #latikalyk #todayzzlikes #khudkhelo
View from the 80th floor of the #empirestatebuilding The warm orangish yellow sun light kissing some of the skyscrapers - it's a mesmerizing scene . It's the city seen in a different light altogether #payertolayshorshe #avrilinusa #usadiaries #usa #newyork #picoftheday #pictureoftheday #phonephotography #random #noedit #nofilter #instagrammers #bucketlist #hhyfsenh #octli15 #octfestt15 #moondaylikes #monlyk15

In the heart of Times Square #newyork if you ask me what startled me the most , it's these tuk-tuks !!! Thanks @rajarshee_kar There is a bit of touch up in this - as I wanted to retain the contrast my eyes n brain registered when I saw this --> time square , taxis, cars , the glam n glitz & a tuktuk . #avrilinusa #payertolayshorshe #avrilsfoodjournee #lifelikeneverbefore #newexperience #newcity #surreal #bucketlist #usadiaries #usa #lifeinadifferentcontinent #letmeexplore #Octfestt11 #octli11 #camlykz #newwwdayy11 #thursdayzlikz
Now that I am in a different time zone , away from work and the usual busy life, I was sitting in my couch here and made a list of dishes I love in Bangalore , and when I am back, those are the first few things I would love to taste. This #fishmoilee , curry leaf rice with the kashundi jhaalmoori @houseoffoxtrot is one of those entries A bite on that crispy batter fried fish followed by the flavorful rice mixed with the kashundi sauce, amazing. @gypsyneel - never let this go out of the menu #avrilsfoodjournee #thinkingofbangalore #bangalorediaries #bangalore #foodofkarnataka #foodtalkindia #sobangalore #lbbbangalore #mymagicpinbangalore #spoontalesbangalore #lifeinbangalore #picoftheday #foodielife #foodscenes #noedit #nofilter #octfestt10 #weluvwedzz #octli10 #hdhruuvrbu
This was a pic I captured on the very first day I landed in the US .@rajarshee_kar told me that the weather was starkly different before I arrived. We sat here for a long time and saw the sky getting darker. Infact I liked the place so much that though he offered me a fine dine at any place nearby, I opted for a meal from the #foodtruck parked at the curb & gazed at this . At that point this frame best represented my state of mind. #avrillovestotravel #payertolayshorshe #avrilsfoodjournee #avrilinusa #lifelikeneverbefore #usa #usadiaries #travelerbyheart #travelphotography #travelgram #thetravellingstars #rajmitra #newcity #newexperience #hoboken #newyork #noedit #nofilter #octfestt9 #lyktues #octli9 #aauucchhii #tuesdayhitz
At the break of dawn - most #bengalis (they can be in Bengal or outside) , will wake up to the tunes of #mahalaya , which marks the start of #devipaksh , i.e. start of #durgapujo Miles ,rather continents away - I found the signs of #autumn or essence of this festival right here in the heart of #newport #usa So here's my #entry for #sharodiya in my #usadiaries #avrilsfoodjournee #avrillachaud #avrillovestotravel #avrilinusa #travelerbyheart #travelphotography #travelgram #indianblogger #indian #bengali #bengalibyheart #bengalibybirth #payertolayshorshe #streetphotography #phonephotography #monlykus #mondaylikz #octfestt8

Midnight craving - remembering this khullar wali chai from my #cityofjoy #kolkata ! why am I missing you ? Perhaps it's time for #durgapujo .... The different commercials , the videos, the FB posts all make me nostalgic #avrilsfoodjournee #russeldhaba #gianostal #calcuttadiaries #calcuttacacophony #sokolkata #amarshahor #lbbkolkata #incredibleindiaofficial #instayum #instagrammers #instayum #lifeisdelicious #chai #midnightlife #pictureoftheday #phonephotography #oneplusphotography #octfestt4 #lykthurs #octfunstatss #octli4
That's exactly how my dessert looked like in the light of the chandelier above me at one of my favorite restaurant @houseoffoxtrot I was introduced to this place by none other than @gypsyneel & in those multiple visits, this place never failed. Hence it still remains one of my favorites. #avrilsfoodjournee #bengalurudessertsclub #houseoffoxtrott #picoftheday #foodphotography #phonephotography #noedit #nofilter #lbbbangalore #mymagicpinbangalore #spoontalesbangalore #foodofkarnataka #sobangalore #octfunstats #lykweday #gadbadgotala #octfestt3

It's 30 September , sitting in one my comfort corners along with my thought-companion (my cup of tea**) there are so many thoughts unleashing like waves , one after the other. This is the last Sunday afternoon for me in #baridhara before a couple of months break and needless to say I will miss everything - this soft sunrays on my table, my plants, my hanging garden , my tea table , my coasters , my #noritake Last year, on the this it was #dashami - this year #durgapujo is still a fortnight away - I so wish it was earlier this year. **These days I am sipping moroccan mint tea by #typhoo :-) @isubhajyoti - as you see your calendar is always on my table #avrilsfoodjournee #avrilinbangalore #newlifetobegin #tea #tealover #tealoveforever #nucleuspr #lifelikeneverbefore #lifeinbangalore #picoftheday #homecomforts #wblikess30 #lovelikeszz
Master class with @ben_ungermann , in #Bengaluru - "sake ice cream, matcha microwave Sponge, puffed rice , wasabi mousse" Catch him tomorrow in the #sunday #brunch at the #whitefieldarms .

I fondly remember - Sunday lunches were always so special. While we went for our drawing classes or other extra curricular activities , Baba enjoyed a little longer time in the bajaar , meeting people and a customary visit to the nursery. When we returned back the pressure cooker had already whistled a couple of times and it's time for ma to let the mutton to simmer (koshano in Bengali). The aroma of the meat or delicacies from each house hold of our #nationalplace filled the air and that made Sunday's a day to cherish. Recently I relished an odia lunch, which reminded me of those ordinary Sundays made extraordinary through food. The hostess @taptipattnaik had prepared quite an exhaustive menu (almost single handedly with a little help from her husband, in terms of chopping etc). She had prepared- Chenna panna (this was something totally new to me, apparently this is a favourite supplement in Odissa when people are fasting) it's a milk based drink with grated coconut, banana and chenna.Let me tell you , it's quite fillling & resembled the way bengalis have (saboo) This was followed by the actual lunch - Macha besara bhaaja - fish fry with mustard paste. Pithau Dia Cantala bhaaja - Contolo fry in rice batter. Dalma - dal with vegetables (this is a must try, it's an odia speciality and wholesome). Bandhakobi Chingudi ghanto- cabbage with prawns. I loved this 'chingri' twist. Dahi baigana - curd with brinjal (it was very mildly spiced with jeera and acted as the perfect palate-cleanser; though we really don't have such concept in the east,I am glad that the hostess thoughtfully prepared & included this.) Maansa jholo- mutton curry & finally. In case you want to explore regional cuisine by home chefs - pls explore www.authenticook.com #avrilsfoodjournee #wblikess27 #bangalorefoodscenes #picoftheday
