A Cute Little Tea Paradise

When my wife called me and said she wanted to have tea this evening, it seemed like the strangest request, especially when she's not really a tea drinker. Anyway, I played along and wondered how this sudden desire to drink tea. And then she went on to specify where exactly she wanted to have tea. She mentioned the place and I said I'd meet her after work and so in the evening I made my way down Lansdowne Road. A bit of a problem finding the place, but then I guess I wasn't following directions as specified. The Lane between Jai Hind Dhaba and Samilton Hotel. Do that I you can't miss the Bright Green Sign-age of this cute little place.

I had a to wait a bit before my wife arrived, so I scoped out the place a bit. Lovely soothing yet happy green shade on the walls. The white Cane chairs inside and I think 3-4 coupé tables outside. those will be nice in winter. Everything about the place seemed well thought of and hand picked. The tea menu card was nicely done. Food as accompaniment was a fairly decent spread. But what was a shocker was that it was 100% Vegetarian Fare. Well, well being one of those hard core meat eaters, this was going to be a challenge.

So my wife finally arrived and we got to the business of ordering. What can I say the tea arrived. One sip and yes this place lived up to it's name. The tingling sensations on the pallete, beautiful aromas and lingering taste of mint from my iced tea was just what was needed after a hard day.

Then the food arrived. I was amazed by the simplicity yet ingenuity of presenting Vegetarian food and making it look so inviting. Believe it or not, the cheese rollers left me salivating for more followed by the Mozzarella on Toast, which did spice up things and then the wonderful concept of Cinnamon with sugar on toast completely balanced out what was intended as a light snack to a wholesome meal.

Definitely will head back there on a regular basis to sample the entire menu over time.

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...
