Since I was backpacking Europe on a shoestring budget, I had contacted a few local people
in cities I was visiting, for a home-stay. When I got to Rotterdam, I made my way to an
address I had and it turned out to be in a real run down part of the city – and besides

The Hamburg lake was a pretty sight. I didn’t have much time in the city and didn’t
get to explore it much, but I liked Hamburg already. While walking by the lake, there were
green lawns and ducks and geese and sail boats and people seemed just so relaxed. I found
a small jetty and...

Düsseldorf was my base town and since I had a train ticket valid for unlimited travel all
day, I decided to make good use of it. I took the efficient German bahn to Cologne,
Munchengladbach and Essen. For someone used to inevitable delays and annoying hiccups in
the system, it was...

A Finnish friend in town wanted to go to Hampi, so before I knew it, I found myself there.
I wasn’t so keen on archeological, historical expeditions, but once we found a quiet
corner and I found the hammock, it wasn’t so bad. We were staying on the other side of
the river, and part...

The beautiful art of shawarma was introduced to me quite late in life. When I first tasted
a shawarma roll, I was distraught at all the years I had lost without such vital
knowledge. Anyway, I became something of a shawarma addict and hit the town every other
evening to watch the big...

When most of us were too broke to hang out at a snazzy pub, Temptation served as a good
option. It probably started out as purely a take-away liquor store, but as more and more
people started hanging around there, it became something of a convention. Standing on the
street-side,...

Our classic rock band was fairly alcoholic and largely carnivorous. We all lived around
each other and not quite close enough to the city centre where most of the big pubs were.
A drink after a good jam session was mandatory, so Dewars was discovered. It was a

Momos are welcome at all times. Strangely, a good, reasonable, authentic momo is still not
that easy to find in the city. But an industrious friend of mine introduced me to Taste of
Tibet, a tiny shop buried in the corner of a tacky shopping complex. It was more like a

A heavy metal band I used to hang out with used to practice for an hour and then spend two
hours over beer and food. The nearest decent joint for a quick drunken orgy was Ujwal. The
first time I saw it I was taken aback – it looked like any local South Indian
restaurant, with a very...

The European (particularly German) concept of just hanging out in the open, drinking beer
through the afternoon, evening and into the night, was a tradition I had nothing against
and caught onto very easily. Along the Rhine, there were a string of bars and cafes
brimming with ale and...

The Düsseldorf Rhine Tower is a good place to get a panoramic overview of the city.
Besides the fact that this was the first European city I had ever visited (and I loved
Germany and Europe), Düsseldorf had a charm and it really grew on me. There was nothing
very hurried about it at...

Not counting Frankfurt airport, Düsseldorf was the first German city I visited and
experienced. As expected, it was very different from India. The train station I arrived
at was very organized and filled with the aromas of good food from bakeries. Of course,

Soon as I heard there was a new donut shop in town, I made a dash for it. The Donut Baker
is an international brand which came to India last year. There was a small branch outlet
nearby which wasn’t as impressive as I thought it would be. The variety of donuts
wasn’t as great as I...

Siddique isn’t so much for you and me anymore. It’s for the ravaging masses that glut
meat like there’s no tomorrow. This is a mostly take away kebab and other Indian meat
fast food joint that is always swarming with hordes of people. It’s cheap and their food
tastes good. So during...

The dessertarian part of me was on the loose. I wanted something sweet; Quick. Preferably
an ice cream. No, definitely an ice cream. We just happened to be passing by the ice cream
shop called Richie Rich, so there we went. I had made an indefinite number of trips to

One of the biggest factors for a re-visit to Indiana used to be the fact that it was one
of the only joints in Bangalore that kept a big bottle of mayonnaise at the tables beside
the ketchup. This was a modest fast food restaurant that served juicy burgers at a time
when meaty...

My latest craving led me to the quest for a good waffle. I remember having my best waffle
ever at Brussels in Belgium, and a need for that experience returned with a vengeance.
The Bangalore masses are only just opening to ‘exotic’ foods, so I knew this was not
going to be easy....

A few years ago Fanoos was a tiny, run-down corner shop, probably really unhygienic, but
served delicious kebab rolls. At the tiny open kitchen facing the street, where one placed
the order, you could see rows of skewers grilling various kebabs and cooks working at high
speed. This...

On this rare occasion, my brother (who probably suddenly felt sorry for having given me a
tormented childhood), generously offered to treat me to some good momos. Delhi was more
his zone, so I crumbled and accepted. The big ground beside the PVR building was bustling

Depending on where you’re sitting, the ambiance at Elements can be pleasant or
claustrophobic. They have rough booths below and an upstairs lounge seating where you can
pass a hookah around. Their menu has a good continental variety and people tend to order
the Sizzlers. I was...
