Malling till JAB WE MET

I had much more pressing matters to attend to after my visit to the Lawyer’s office. I spent the afternoon into the early evening at a Mall located at Bhowanipore called Merlin HOMELAND. A 5 floor mall dedicated to all home stuff, from paint to flooring, from bedroom to bathroom and kitchen to toilet. Add to that an exclusive 3 floor section dedicated to all things electronic and electrical called E-Zone.

So I’ve got a list of stuff to buy and know what it costs. At one time it seems like a whole lot of money, but then most of us don’t realise what it takes to set up a home and live in the luxury of having things bought of time making our lives comfortable. But here’s another eye opener for those who plan to ever do a spring clean, you’ll realise the amount of junk you have accumulated over the years.

Anyway the hours spent at HOMELAND had me work up an appetite and I ended up going to FORUM where some more window shopping and video games kept me busy till I met up with friends and we ended up at STAR STRUCK a sports bar lounge kind of place. A bit dark for my liking, but good to chill out in their comfy seats over a couple of beers, not to add that its not all that expensive.

Then I picked up tickets for JAB WE MET and I think that was the perfect way to end a long fruitful day. The movie is a must watch and though I had apprehensions about the movie starring Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor, the movie turned out to be super. I must admit that Kareena has done a splendid job and just as I had raised my opinions about Akshay Kumar a while back, Ms. Kapoor has definitely gone up several notches in my book. The lady can act. The movie is a laugh riot, more so in the first half and though the second half tones down a bit, it’ll keep you glued on. All the songs have a perfect place in the movie and are in sync with the storyline. So all I can say is, if you want to watch an entertaining movie, go catch JAB WE MET.

The 7 Wonders at Eco Park

Pyramid & Sphinx Our last excursion to Eco Park in Rajarhat dates all the way back to February 2015. Since then, a myriad of transformations has swept through the park. During a recent journey to the airport, we caught sight of the park's latest additions, which had become the talk of the town, visible from Biswa Banga Sarani. That sighting ignited our decision to revisit the park. Naturally, we concurred that visiting on a weekend would be an exercise in chaos, so we opted for a weekday to fully savor the wonders that awaited us. To our surprise, even on a weekday, the park teemed with visitors. Upon entering Eco Park for a nominal fee of Rs. 30, we were immediately struck by the sheer value it offered. Personally, I would have willingly paid more for the privilege of glimpsing these marvelous creations. Rather than expound further, I'll let the images convey the essence of what lies within. That being said, it unquestionably merits an in-person visit to truly appreciate ...

AKIRA: A Tiny Japanese Universe in Kolkata

Since we were already out and dinner was calling, we decided to keep things light and find somewhere nearby. A quick search by my wife produced a promising result—a new Japanese place just 9 minutes away , according to Google. Nine minutes? That sounded dangerously convenient. And so off we went to AKIRA , a cute little Japanese cuisine restaurant that is, by almost every definition of the word, tiny . But what it lacks in size, it makes up for in character. The place is done up in Japanese Pop Culture, with Anime and Manga influences everywhere you look. We arrived and, as expected, had to wait a little before we could get in. Which was perfectly fine by me. Because parked outside were two rather handsome motorcycles—a Honda CB350 and a Honda H'ness CB350 . Now, I have a weakness for motorcycles, and apparently, so did the universe that evening. I was admiring the two bikes when the owner of the CB350 appeared. One thing led to another and within seconds we were engaged in that v...

HAL Heritage Centre and Aerospace Museum

I was in Bangalore and this was the only place I actually wanted visit. So here I am taking the tour of India's first aerospace museum located at the HAL facility (opposite the old Bangalore Airport) spread over 4 acres. The displays of actual aircraft are very cool and so are the galleries showing historical pictures and evolution of HAL and its contribution to the nation in Military Aircraft as well as Aerospace. The disappointing thing at the end of the tour was the Gift shop, where I was hoping to find Scale Models of Aircraft and other Memorabilia from the IAF (Indian Air Force), but instead it was a dreary sight to see a shelf which housed Handicrafts! That just didn't make any sense whatsoever. Anyway for those of you who would like to visit this wonderful Museum, the details are below: HF-24 Marut 1T (D1698) IAF MIG-21 Bison (Trainer Version) HAL HJT-36 Sitara (IJT), Intermediate Jet Trainer Prototype. HAL Tejas mock-up (LCA) Light Weight...
