Madhav Uncle turns 60 with a Big Bang

After a relaxing day at home we headed out in the evening to my Father-in-Law’s place. It was his 60th Birthday and much to our surprise he was at home smug with the fact that he had got the best birthday present ever. We thought he would be at the Tollygunge Club playing golf. Well had had finished playing and his team had just beat RCGC to win the tournament. I guess there was no way any gift could top that for the Captain of the Tollygunge Club Golf team.

So we waited till the rest of his buddies came later on and we indulged in some awesome single malt and then headed out to this new eatery that had opened in Salt Lake Sector V. Barbeque Nation it was called. I had been to the one in Bangalore and they had finally opened up in Kolkata. So once we got there a bit after 9.30pm, there was a slight problem with the reservation we had made for the 14 people, but nothing my wife couldn’t handle. A stern sounding off and the manager had the place arranged for us in less than 5 minutes. Well after the initial hiccup, the party was back on track, The Kebabs and tikkas kept coming and the beer kept flowing and all our conversations drowned in the live music being played right alongside our table. Interesting ensemble that had a violinist accompanied by a percussionist, keyboardist & guitarist (later I realised while they were packing up that the reason the guitarist had dark glasses on the whole time was because he was blind) kept the place alive with their music. They even played Happy Birthday when a bottle of Moet Chandon was popped in honour of the Birthday ‘Boy’. At the end of the evening, we all went back in high spirits with a momentous evening behind us.

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...
