  I have been a bit MIA and have a lot of catching up to do on this blog and my all-time favorite topic to discuss after a break has always been FOOD. So, here are some of the places that I visited in Delhi-NCR post lockdown and just loved…. ·          PAUL The one thing that keeps me happy and going even on my worst days are desserts. And this place was one of the firsts on my to-go list post lockdown. Had this ultimate craving of satisfying my sugar tooth and it certainly got fulfilled. They have a delightful range of desserts and I have grown so fond of their hot chocolate that I can even have it on a summer afternoon. ·          DRAMZ One of those places that you go to for a nice view and surprisingly the food turns out good too. The idea was to have an all cheese comfort meal with the view of Qutub and nothing feels better than an outing that got executed just the way it was planned.  ·         PLUM One of the best places in Delhi-NCR for all the sushi lovers. There’s this u

Top 5 Places that I Missed in Recent Days

I am a big-time foodie and being a Delhite, food is a big part of my life. From street food at Old Delhi  to epicurean time at Chanakyapuri, we just can’t get enough of food in the capital. Eating and hanging out at my favourite places is one of the things which I have missed the most and I can’t wait to devour my favourite food the day situation gets better. So, here’s a list of my all-time favourite places in Delhi NCR. The Big Chill If I think of this place, the first thing that comes to my mind is ‘consistency’ from taste to quality to ambience, everything at The Big Chill is always consistent and this is the only place which I never get bored with. Whenever in Delhi, The Big Chill Café, Creamery and Cakery is a must visit. From thick shakes to thin crust pizzas, everything at this place is an absolute delight for the soul but their Chocolate Noir Shake, Banoffee Pie, Mud cake, Penne in Vodka Pasta, Piri Piri pizza is a must try and the list surely goes on.

Quarantine Diaries Part-2

Welcome to Quarantine Diaries Part-2. Another set of stories featuring how my quarantine days rolled by.  My Quarantine days are all about ameliorating. I mean you can either keep whining over the situation you have no control on or you can make the best out of every situation by being a little optimistic. Some special days came about in this quarantine and Part-2 is a quick apprise on what I did for those days. Starting by Mother’s Day, our usual way of celebrating it is by going to some fancy restaurant and having a North Indian meal (my mom’s favourite). But this time, it started by waking up early for a surprise!  To begin the day, I made her a strong cardamom tea or as we Indians say, “Kadhak Elaichi wali Chai” and I know this gesture sounds too small; but trust me I knew I made her day just by doing this. After some Poha in breakfast,  we video called my grandmother and talked for a while.  As it was maa’s day, my lazy-self had to do something more than the 2-minute noodles, so

Quarantine Diaries Part-1

Little calm is returning back. As Unlock begins, things are beginning to cripple back to normalcy and I am sure no one is going to forget enduring 4 lockdowns and we’re going to talk about it even after the pandemic is over at least I will. God knows the lockdown was at the right time or now, the timing of unlock is correct or not; but we are being made to think that we have to learn to live with it. Anyway, I wanted to continue this narrative journey by sharing my quarantine experience. Without further ado, let’s dive right into it. When WHO declared Corona Virus as a global pandemic, the only fear I had in my mind apart from getting infected by the virus was not to develop an unscheduled lifestyle because of being at home. Although, I was attending all my lectures online; it was the end of semester so I had a lot of assignments and completion of my research paper lined up; but still I didn’t want the comfort of being at home to disrupt my organised life in the longer run.

In the Times of Corona...

When the entire nation was locked down, we naturally started missing our usual life. Like the morning rush, as a student of a university which strictly abides by the 75% attendance rule, I have always struggled with making in time to the college for the first class; but when the lockdown was announced my mornings which used to start with a hurry to get to the college were switched with household chores, me leaving the house with an unfinished coffee and a toast in my hand turned into a full-fledged heavy breakfast which obviously made my mom really happy  But I missed the fast moving life. The morning makeup routine was no longer a part of my day, the messed-up buns and comfy clothes made me forget what dressing up really is. I even started missing the Delhi-traffic. For us millennials living in the capital, the dashboard story was a part of our routine too.  But things that I really missed were getting a change of atmosphere at work and having a normal work routine. These things r

At the Outset...

I am a reserved and a “too shy to face the camera” type. I’ve always hated that how my mode changes from chatter to silent when a person I don’t know or I am not comfortable with walks in or how my nice and chic smile turns into a photo-anxious one when the camera pops up. Whenever I think of working on this, I always find myself wondering that how I’ve always been a sucker for fashion, travel, writing, exploring the nouveau.  After contemplating for some time, I finally decided to follow this passion as a hobby and start this blog as a medium to say it all and aloud. I am a bachelors of technology and by default us engineers are always assumed to be a geek but I am strong believer of doing everything which feels right and I think we should always do what makes us feel good and stop looking out for validation from other people. Nobody’s perfect and we can be the best version of all that we want by getting aware of what makes us feel comfortable and by working to achieve what we aspire.
