That Goan Girl at WORLD FAIR TRADE WEEK 2017, DELHI

As most of you know from my barrage of posts on social media, I recently attended the World Fair Trade Conference at Crowne Plaza, Delhi from 9-14th November 2017. It took me until now to actually sit down and write about it, because over the course of that one week,…

THE SECRET OF THE SEA – A MYSTERY NOVEL SET IN GOA

If you exclude all the blogs I’ve been stalking and the occasional e-paper, I haven’t had the time to read much this year. And if it wasn’t for Tanya Pinto Dias, it would have probably stayed that way. Although we met only once during a trip to Sikkim – I…

Punjab Grill’s Heirloom Menu – One Week Remaining

Hey guys! After sampling the limited-time-only Rajasthan Food Festival at Grand Hyatt, Goa in August, I hadn’t visited any short food festivals or special menu events.

The Grapevine, Mahabaleshwar – Don’t Miss it!

Mahabaleshwar, the queen of hill stations, is known for many things – the enchanting views of the valley, the chilly weather almost all year round, its strawberries, and its evergreen forests. One thing it is not known for is the food. It’s true that there are restaurants lined up one…

6 things to do in Mahabaleshwar

It’s quite unfortunate that I visited the hot-spot for strawberries when it wasn’t strawberry season. But I did have an agenda when I planned my road trip to Mahabaleshwar – a review of Brightland Hotel and Spa. To be honest, that did make it difficult to explore Maharashtra’s best hillstation,…

Brightland Resort and Spa, Mahabaleshwar

The more I live in Mumbai, the more I appreciate escaping its chaos. If you don’t reside in a big, over-populated metro city, it may seem like a head scratcher to you. But to those in Mumbai, it will make sense. I need to leave in order to recharge, rest…

Poush – A Taste of Kashmiri Paradise in Mumbai

Ever since I got invited to review Poush, a restaurant serving Kashmiri food and Just Kerala, a south Indian one, I’ve had the song ‘Kashmir Tu Mein Kanyakumari’ stuck in my head. And apart from that one line, I don’t know the words to that song at all. Anyway! There’s…
