Exotic Food, Sophisticated Ambience

On Friday after months of wanting to eat here, we finally made it to MEZZE located at Minto Park. Well most people would miss it as they’d be paying attention to the entrance it shares with SOHO which happens to be part of the same establishment but way more famous because it is one of the hottest night spot’s of the city.

Anyway once inside we were shown to a table right in front of a fish tank and a large window looking out into the street. The place is not very big and has some 10-12, 4 seating tables.

The white décor is very stylishly done and the menu is quite exotic. Well I say exotic because there’s a whole lot of Moroccan stuff on it, which is hard to pronounce. Well as long as they had hummus. Yeah! That’s as far as my knowledge of this kind of food goes. Anyway ordered the drinks first and so Gin n tonic for the Missus and Vodka and 7 Up for me followed by a Mezze Non-Vegetarian Platter. Man that was some platter. Probably the biggest I’ve ever seen and had to consume between two people. Well this was just starters and we were wondering once we got through this whether we really wanted to go for the main course. It had an assortment of Kebabs, breads, hummus and couscous. We ordered our next round of drinks and were soon joined by a couple of friends.

More drinks followed, till finally we were told that we needed to place the last order, as the place would shut down in a while. It was past 11 pm. Wow! How time flies when you’re having a good time. Meanwhile we kept the drinks flowing. We finally ordered a Harissa Chicken, which was some Moroccan style dish. It turned out really good.

To conclude the food, ambience and service was excellent. Well so was the price, which was on the higher side. Well I guess you pay more for exotic kinds of food and to be counted among the sophisticated set of society. I’d definitely go back if my taste buds crave Moroccan food.

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...
