I Got My Christmas Hampers Ready With Forennte
December is here, bringing along with it a chilly breeze, low temperatures and loads of hot chocolate. If this wasn’t enough reason to celebrate, Christmas will be upon us in 2 weeks, and this can only mean 2 things : loads of Christmas cakes and goodies, and fine wine at Xmas feasts. It’s really difficult […]
Running through the by-lanes of Chandni Chowk
Snarled by traffic, crammed by shops selling silver jewelry, saris, blouses and mannequins dressed in lehengas, marking the entrance to stores filled with excited women shopping for a shaadi – Delhi’s most famous shopping street is characterized by drama, pandemonium and an old world charm quite lost in the otherwise buzzing metropolis. No visit to […]
My Comfort Food
I’ve noticed how food has gained this sort of importance in my life that nothing else could. Bad day- I think of food to calm me down. Bad meeting- I take comfort in the fact that there was food. Bad date- at least there was food! Bad weather- there’s something in the fridge that will […]
The Sunday Brunch at Conrad, Pune
There’s a regular brunch buffet, and then you have the brunch buffet at Conrad. You eat 2, ok maybe 3 rounds of food at a regular buffet, and then you struggle to taste everything that’s on the menu even after 5 servings at the Conrad buffet. But you eat anyway. True story. I was invited […]
Kumbh 2016: A Photo Diary
Held every 12 years in 4 sacred cities in India – Haridwar, Allahabad, Ujjian and Nasik- the Kumbh Mela is a riot of colors, rituals and traditions that millions of Indians are a part of. We see hordes of people walking, driving or even flying down to take a dip in the holy water that claims […]
Thalassa, Goa
Hailing from an Army background, traveling has always been an integral part of my life. In fact, staying at one place for too long gets me restless. There are times when I want to run away to another city and start afresh, there are times when I want to take a break and travel to any […]

For the love of cake and art- Forennte
It’s the age of free wi-fi at Starbucks and internet cafes, so why on earth are you wasting time reminiscing about the old days when people went to cafes to read books? Because God loves us and blesses us with angels like Namrata Kriplani who then bless us with Forennte. Allow me to introduce you to […]
Grubfest 2016, Pune
India’s biggest food fest was in our not-so-tiny-anymore town of Pune in the last weekend of March, and in my opinion it was like a breath of fresh air in this dull, dry heat. There were quite a few goofups, but as a festival attendee I had a fun-filled 3 days that I know will get […]
Grover Zampa at Future Theory Festival
The Future Theory Music Festival held in the last weekend of February saw a whole lot of good vibes, fine food, music junkies and an overdose of wine. And in this post I am going to talk only about the wine. Sorry not sorry. Check out my blog post on the fest here. Grover Zampa […]
