For a long time I was unaware this was called Scottish Pub. The gang I was hanging out
with called it Noon Wines and the name seemed more fitting of the joint. There was nothing
Scottish about it as far as I could tell. It was cramped and dingy inside and had an
outdoor seating of...

When I was in Delhi last, I was introduced to Turquoise Cottage and then went a few times.
It was a basement pub that you reached through a restaurant. It had a classic, warm feel
with retro memorabilia on the wall. The first time, we didn’t get a table for a while,
so we just hung...

A fellow musician guitarist I had befriended in Delhi was showing me around the city. This
evening, it was going to be the Lizard Lounge. I tend to be averse to trendy pubs where
women in skirts pretend to know how to smoke cigarettes, but once I got past that sort, I
got comfortable...

On my last trip to the city I took the metro to get around and realized just how organized
New Delhi really is. Connaught Place is almost like the circular heart from which
concentric circles and veins spread out into the city. It looked like a good place for
shopping and eating out,...

Palika bazaar is underground in more than one way. Not only is it a large basement
shopping arcade, most of the shops also stock brand fakes or smuggled goods. I came upon
Palika in my search for a punk rock band T-shirt that somebody said I might find here.

A lot of broke college shopping was done on Janpath. There are shops all along Janpath
street, but the masses usually descend on the noisy, crowded market square. There are tons
of stalls with clothes, shoes, accessories and random other stuff. It’s much like a flea
market but of...

Chandni Chowk is the ideal place to experience the maddening crowds of Delhi. I wouldn’t
have gone if the surprisingly efficient Delhi metro system didn’t take me straight to
it. I had been advised to try the chaat and parathas and to generally get my hands dirty
with the street food....

As a child I was a religion rebel. I hated going to religious monuments and institutions.
Nevertheless, taking advantage of my young age and naivety, my parents dragged me around
to all their pilgrimages. My main reason for avoiding them was all the drama and the
noise. But taken...

After scrambling over rocks and climbing trees, our big group of hungry people arrived at
one of the local island restaurants where we had reserved 2 big round tables. This was my
first experience with live food tanks sitting outside the kitchen, in sight of our tables.

The relatives I was staying with in Hong Kong, rounded up a big group of friends, we all
charted a boat and set sail for Lamma Island. It was one of the best boat rides and
picnics I’ve had. We had to moor a little way off the island, and while the hussies took
the row boat to land,...

Travel by Eurail in Central Europe beat air travel experience, which had been the best
I’d seen until then – in terms of luxury and efficiency. For my 3-week backpacking
trip, I had a Eurail ticket that gave me 10 days of unlimited travel in a certain few
countries; which meant if I...

If you’re not a big art critic, just a silent observer, the National Gallery of Modern
Art in Delhi is still worth a visit. If you are an art buff and well versed in the
language, it’s possible you’ll recognize some of the names scribbled at the bottom of
canvasses that adorn the...

North India is spotted with Tibetan monasteries; you just have to look to find one. But
oddly, it never gets tiring to visit them, since despite their similarities; each has its
charm and a definite calm that sweeps over when one walks in. In Manali, my eager auto
driver took me to a...

As a child, most of my visits to my father’s hometown Simla, were interjected with a day
out to Naldehra. It was a wooded picnic hill station a few hours’ drive away (~22 km).
Naldehra to me meant horse rides along coniferous paths and ice cream on sticks and
playtime at the jungle...

It’s called Zero G, I presume, because it on the top-story of a building. The name
reminds me of the feeling I get in my stomach when going up in a fast elevator. The
décor was meant to emulate a ship’s deck, with a small pool and all, and it is well
spaced and airy. The first time I...

Another new restaurant had emerged in the city. They were growing like mushrooms. Word
passed around and my family dragged me to The Beach. The idea is to have a beach
atmosphere with sand and everything in the middle of the city. The food was going to be
the usual multi-cuisine fare...

Opus has a pleasant ambiance, good food, and they provide a stage for live gigs and
karaoke nights every so often. Winning points already. My first impression of Opus was an

When Legends of Rock opened a few years ago, they sent out their invitations wrapped
around a beer can. Hmm, this was going to be good. The trendy new pub was spread over 3
stories, each with a different theme. Hard rock on one level, Blues on another and pop on
the third. They had...

The first time a friend took me to Windsor Pub I was a bit surprised. It looked like
somebody’s big living room had been turned into a bar, with a bunch of tables crammed in
and a bar counter at one end, all brightly lit. Being easily claustrophobic, I was
skeptical at first, but then...

The only Indian sweets that I can really warm up to come from Bengal. Bengali sweets have
the exact balance of sweetness and flavour that my palate appreciates. The taste isn’t
overpowering but subtle and the sweetness is mild compared to the sugar bombs that other
Indian sweetmeats...
