The Harley Diaries (Women’s Day Special)

This article has been written by Radhika Sharma ( The Baus Girl) and was first published in Punekar.in As a woman, sure I like and want to celebrate the day dedicated to us every year- Women’s day. Mostly it’s by watching awards shows on TV, or having a lunch with girlfriends to discuss the finer […]

Magnum Choco-Cappuccino: The Launch

   As you might have seen recently thanks to social media, Magnum launched a new flavor in India- the Choco-Cappuccino. I dropped in at the launch and master-class held at Four Seasons, Mumbai, and had an absolute blast mixing! I met a couple of fellow bloggers, bakers, story-tellers, and had some great notes to exchange…of […]

Loafing Around

Djuma Soundsystem at Vivanta by Taj Blue Diamond, Pune

Launch of Myra Wines in Pune
