A Matcha Moment at Cava: Discovering a Cozy Cafe After a Long Wait

Sometimes the best café discoveries happen when you are simply trying to pass some time.

After spending almost two hours waiting patiently while my wife got her nails done at a nail salon, I was ready for a little refreshment. The wait, however, was not completely uneventful. It included a comfortable nap on their sofa and, in true spontaneous fashion, the purchase of half a dozen beautiful plants from a nursery right outside the salon. So, by the time the nail session was finally over, we had new plants in our car and a serious craving for a good coffee break.

Since it was still too early for dinner, we decided to look for a place where we could relax with a drink. That’s when we came across Cava - Cafe & Patisserie | Artisanal Cafe & Brews, a place that immediately caught our attention — especially because they serve Matcha, which has now become my wife’s preferred drink of choice.

We settled in and ordered our beverages. She went for their Strawberry Matcha, while I decided to try their Cheesecake Shake. Both drinks were a refreshing way to unwind after the afternoon’s little adventure.

The café itself has a lovely decor and a pleasant ambience, making it a comfortable spot to sit back and enjoy some quiet time. The interiors have a relaxed, stylish vibe, and it looks like their Hookah section is quite popular with many guests enjoying that experience.

While this visit was mainly about satisfying our beverage cravings, we definitely noticed that the menu had enough interesting options to bring us back for more. The next time we visit, we might just explore their food offerings and try a bite or two along with our drinks.

So, will we return to Cava? Absolutely. The Strawberry Matcha has already earned a second visit, and who knows, maybe next time we’ll stay longer and make it a proper café outing.

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.

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...
