Complete Sunday!

After Saturday’s weather and day long laziness and eating, I decided that on Sunday I had to make up for the calorie intake and a swim was definitely on the cards, cold or no cold, rain or no rain. So before we went to the club we made a pit stop at the food court at South City Mall. Lunch is important. So this time we decided to try the Sizzlers from Simply Sizzlers at the Food Court. We ordered a non-vegetarian sizzler and two Sea-food Sizzlers. Man was that a brilliant choice. Just seeing the trouble the guy went through to put that dish together was enough. The veggies were placed first and then the two tiger prawns’ one on top of the other at right angles and the piece of bhetki in between and the sauce poured on top finally finished with a scoop of white butter just enticed me to dive into it.

For Rs. 190/-, this was one of the best Sizzlers I’ve had. After that some pastries and we were off to the club. Well after a pit stop at Gariahat market that is. I can’t believe I went Sari shopping with the wife. I think maybe I’m better at this kind of stuff than she is. Oh we even made a stop at FAB India; and indulged in some shopping there too. I think I’m quite a Shopaholic! From there it was non-stop to the club and I went straight for a swim. The indoor pool was heated and the hour spent swimming definitely helped burn some calories. Of course the rain outside just got heavier.

But at the end of it all, it was a Sunday well spent. Aha it’s not over yet. From the club we decided to head back to South City Mall and watch a movie at FAME. Roadside Romeo was an entertaining movie. Considering it’s an animation and the first of its kind from Walt Disney and Yash Raj Films in India. The three main characters are voiced by Saif Ali Khan (Romeo), Kareena Kapoor (Laila) and Javed Jaffrey (Charlie Anna). It’s a must watch to see how Bollywood flicks can now also happen in Animation.

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 ...

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...

Vintage Car Show 2018 at The Tollygunge Club

1947 MG TC So here we are once more at The Tollygunge Club on a cold winter morning to catch some rare beauties to warm our hearts. I try to catch these every year if possible and after my recent trip and the number of cars I've seen on it, one would think I'd give it a miss. This year's collection had most of the usual cars with an addition of some more to the fray.  What disappointed though was the limited number of super cars on display. But all that said, it's always a joy to see these wonderful gems still being cared for by their owners and offering us a glimpse into automotive history. So with that much said, I hope you'll enjoy the pictures of the cars below. 1947 MG TC 1938 Rolls-Royce 1938 Rolls-Royce 1953 Land Rover 1932 Ford V8 1932 Ford V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1950 Cadillac V8 1956 BSA Bantam 1952 Willy's Jeep 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1962 Triumph Spitfire 1925...
