Delhi Buffet
Submitted by Parul Garg on Thu, 02/09/2010 - 15:41

Delhi has always been the city of hearty eating; not nibbles or dainty bites but eating with gusto. Gastronomical delights are many but for those who prefer an informal relaxed atmosphere, the buffet is the best option. Languid, lazy afternoons, office grapevine reloaded and rehashed or a late morning Sunday with family- all suit the buffet format to the T-bone.

Khosla looks for his Ghosla… in DU
Submitted by fuzzylogic on Thu, 02/09/2010 - 13:16

The situation of an average hostler in the Delhi University, these days, is very similar to Kamal Kishore Khosla from Dibakar Banerjee’s classic Khosla ka Ghosla. With the Commonwealth Games at the doorstep, the authorities have found more prey in students residing in hostels.

Pakistan’s Match Fixing Scandal is nothing New
Submitted by Reena Daruwalla on Wed, 01/09/2010 - 09:43

Most of us remember the incredulity, shame and the utter disillusionment we felt when the match fixing scandal first broke in 2000, involving as it did, some of the most respected and beloved names in Indian cricket. It wasn’t just names such as Kapil Dev, Manoj Prabhakar, Mohammad Azharuddin, Ajay Jadeja, Nayan Mongia and Nikhil Chopra but others from Pakistan, South Africa, West Indies, Sri Lanka and New Zealand.

Delhi Diary
Submitted by Abdullah on Wed, 01/09/2010 - 10:42

The past week has been hectic for Delhi; such was the frenzied pitch in beaming coverage of Yamuna flood waters into millions of home day in day out that the news channel made you believe that Delhi is just about to be washed from the map. For once, friends and relatives to whom I have seldom spoken to in the past few years called up to enquire.

Beware the Term ‘Multigrain’ – Or What Multigrain Really Means
Submitted by Reena Daruwalla on Mon, 30/08/2010 - 08:42

Horlicks Noodles (sorry Foodles) are the new 2 minute noodles in the market. How did I know? My well informed kids who view TV ads keenly and attentively told me so, that’s how I know. That and the fact that there are now rows and rows devoted to the new product at your local Big Bazaar.

Delhi: Venice of the East
Submitted by fuzzylogic on Fri, 27/08/2010 - 13:29

My trousers are rolled up to my calves, good old rubber chappals on my feet and trusty black umbrella tucked under one arm and I’m off. “Where to?” you might ask. Well, this is the way we dress to go to work each morning in Delhi these days. The only thing missing on Delhi roads are the gondolas with their singing boatmen.

State of the Game
Submitted by Abdullah on Wed, 25/08/2010 - 11:34

There are many things with which you’re stuck for life, be it good or bad, the harder you try to shake them off the stronger these things hit back at you. Same is the case with all the news regarding the preparation for Commonwealth Games. Its seems the harder the government and the OC tries to shake off bad news and instill some sort of confidence, harder the bad news hits back at them the next day.

What happened to Indian Street Games?
Submitted by Reena Daruwalla on Mon, 23/08/2010 - 08:58

I had often heard my father and my uncles speak nostalgically about their childhood, which was spent running barefoot all over the neighbourhood (chappals are to be kept at home because, you know, they can get lost and then you didn’t get new ones), and playing a number of street games that changed as per the season. They even had some interesting tales of stealing potatoes and roasting them by a fire of dried leaves, as well as being chased by irate farmers etc, painting a picture of an idyllic childhood, the like of which no child today seems to have.

All is Well
Submitted by Abdullah on Thu, 19/08/2010 - 10:32

The last few days or say 2 weeks have seen a flurry of confidence building and positive activities from the government, the media and other people associated with the games. To top it, one official of Australian sports body even commented that all this negative publicity to games aren’t doing any good to the game and image of the country and even criticized the Indian media of being going overboard and irresponsible.

Prominent Indian Parsis – Part II
Submitted by Reena Daruwalla on Thu, 19/08/2010 - 09:03

Today is the Parsee New Year, Navroze (which translates as new day) and to mark this, I continue my post about Prominent Indian Parsees with part II today:   

Some of the biggest business houses of India and I daresay some of the most respected for sound entrepreneurship as well as following ethical business principles happen to belong to Parsee families – The Tatas, the Godrejs, and the Wadias all belong to the Parsee community; there are many more but these are names instantly recognisable by any Indian –
