Foodie Strikes Again

The weekend was quite dull, save the party on Friday night, which I’d rather not talk about for reasons beyond explanation. But come Monday and I was back with a bang. The target was Eu Chew. So I decided to join the rest of the gang there straight after office. So after work, while I was heading to the business district, I got a call to make a slight detour and meet them at another Chinese eatery on Free School Street. I can’t remember the name as that is not important, as you will realise soon enough. Anyway the reason for the change in plan was because Eu Chew was closed for some strange reason. So Chimney Soup was out. Oh I believe there is still hope at the joint on Free School Street.

So after negotiating the tram tracks on Wellesley Street, just as I was turning on to Free School Street, I got a call again to follow the other car in which the gang was and that we were now going to another place. So we ended up at Bhojohari Manna, Hindustan Park. Well once there what can I say; It Bengali Food Fiesta which included everything possible: dal bhaat, aloo bhaja, biryani, chicken dak bangla, pabda maach, crab and fried fish. Of course the best ever Rasmalai at the end was there to sign off.

Oh and about that second Chinese place, I learned while at Bhojohari that when they got there, they were shocked to see that the building itself in which it was housed had been demolished. So I guess Chinese was just out of luck.

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...
