My Kitchen Miracles VII – the tedious mutton keema

Covid was in full swing and it was recently proven that the Covid virus only spread through air.

Sabotaged by the Menu – Part 1

I put on around 6 kgs during Covid work-from-home period. Then I got into IIMB and was happy that the intense curriculum and the ensuing hard work will help me in getting back to original svelte form. Oh, how wrong I was! And how much I underestimated the mess menu at IIM Bangalore!  My father…

Breakfast diaries

When I feel bloated or over weight (being overweight is indeed a feeling), I tend to go on a detox. But since I have a huge appetite, fruits and raw/boiled vegetables aren’t fulfilling to me.

Ambrosia Bliss, Connaught Place, New Delhi

The first thing that impressed me about this place was that they have divided the restaurant into three separate sections. The first section is for fine dining, the second one is for a private gathering of 20-25 people and the third one is for casual dining. The casual dining restaurant has been modeled on the…
