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...

Delhi is packed to the brim with museums and cultural institutions, and of all, I decided
to re-visit the National Museum because the last time I went there was years ago on a
school trip and it seemed to have left good memories. The museum is organized and
elaborate and takes up the...

It’s a deep trek into the psyche to figure out why a small pissing boy should be the
pride of Brussels, but is it, and I made it a point to stop by it for a look. The Manneken
Pis is located near the Grand Place at the heart of the city and so not difficult to
find, but I only...

I was quite impressed by the India Habitat Centre and its obviously international
standards. It’s huge and besides being a centre for various institutions and NGOs, there
is also always a lot of cultural activity going on there from photo and art exhibitions,

Hutongs are traditional Chinese alleyways of community living in courtyard residences. The
Beijing Hutongs are a cultural heritage listed on the sight-seeing map. People take
rickshaws and romanticize the poverty. As it happened, while I was in Beijing for two

On the evening that we decided to go to the night safari, unfortunately we had a lot to do
and so reached a bit too late and had to leave in a hurry to catch the last bus back. So
we had time to basically just take the safari tram, which wasn’t bad at all since we got

The Z-trains running between Shanghai and Beijing are an experience. There are about five
trains each day between 1900 to 1930 hrs from each destination and the 12 hour journey is
covered in true luxury. The interiors are like a star hotel, super comfortable and plush,
carpeted and...

I was taking a day trip to Cologne from Düsseldorf which was my first base on arriving at
Germany, so I really didn’t know what to expect. So on stepping out of the Hauptbahnhof,
I was staggered by the immediate view of the looming cathedral. It is still one of the

Europe is roller-coaster heaven. Almost every major city has its own amusement park and a
great variety of rides. When my adrenaline started dropping, I decided to take a day at
Europa Park having heard much about its giant rides. From Freiberg I caught a Europa Park

Windsor Manor has an old English charm, one of the good things left over from the British
Raj in India. Being on a Sunday brunch spree, this weekend, I had a table booked at the
Raj Pavilion. The ambiance was just right – a skylight roof, French windows looking out
to the pool and...

The existence of Pizza Port is valuable information for fast food junkies in Bangalore.
Because of the monopoly by big multinational pizza names, it’s unlikely that many people
have heard of this place. It’s a tiny shop with a crammed take-out counter and kitchen
at the bottom and a...

Huangshan, located in the Anhui Province, literally translates to Yellow Mountain and is
known to have inspired much of the traditional Chinese painting and literature. It wasn't

and they serve their sundaes with full-bodied topping sauces. If it’s not too often,

Pudong. About a week into my visit, I was quite ready for some quiet mountain air;
Huangshan was an obvious next on the list to explore. The best way to get there would be

A magazine I was working with sent me to review the Sunday Brunch at Taj West End or I
might never have tried it. One expects only the best from a 5-star hotel and this turned
out to be a veritable feast at Mynt, the coffee shop. Besides free-flowing champagne and
beer, the...

The drive from Huangshan airport to the mountains is pleasant, meandering through green
Chinese countryside and tiny villages with traditional huts, until finally the climb
begins to reach the starting point of what is going to be a long trek up Huangshan. There

Mainland China is one of the few restaurants in Bangalore with an authentic Chinese menu.
Though somewhere along the way they had to sell-out and make their food accessible to the
average Indian palate, for the most part, they have tried to keep the flavours and
ingredients as...

Brussels is well known as the home of Herge, creator of the world famous Tintin comics,
but also many other famous comic characters. The city’s comic art fervour doesn’t end
at the comic strip museum. The tourist map of Brussels that I armed myself with even had a
comic walk marked...

I’ve only been to Guzzlers Inn now and then, and most of time it was to play pool.
The
pub on the ground floor is decent with cartoon strips across their walls, music that is a
fair mix of classic rock and newer hits; and they serve all kinds of alcohol.
Unfortunately, I was always...

The Brussels town hall is located in the centre of the striking Grand Place. The Grand
Place is a cobbled square surrounded by buildings of remarkable architecture, but as far
as I could tell, the art details and the sculptures on the Town Hall were the best by far.
