A South Indian Craving Satisfied at House of Iyers

Every now and then, a craving strikes unexpectedly—and this time, it was for some authentic South Indian food. It had been quite a while since our last visit to House of Iyers, so the decision was easy.

Tucked away on a quiet side road en route to Urbana, just past Anandapur Police Station, House of Iyers is one of those places that feels like a hidden gem for lovers of genuine South Indian cuisine.

For lunch, my wife chose a classic Masala Dosa while I went for the Rava Dosa—though here, the masala needs to be ordered separately. What caught me by surprise was how refined and delicate their Rava Dosa was. I’m more accustomed to the coarser, crisp versions, so this lighter, more elegant take was an unexpected but welcome change.

We also ordered a Dahi Vada to share. As it turned out, the sweetness was a bit much for my wife’s taste, which meant I happily finished most of it myself—definitely not a complaint!

To complete the meal, she paired hers with a refreshing glass of Chhaas, while I kept it simple with a chilled Coke.

There’s something comforting about returning to a place that consistently delivers familiar flavours with authenticity and care. If you’re ever in the mood for good South Indian food and want to venture beyond the usual spots, House of Iyers is certainly worth a visit.

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...
