SIN-PLY PRETTY

It had been quite sometime that I had been to the older part of the city which we also call "Purani Dilli ".So Me and hubby decided to take a walk down the Matia Mahal lane near Jama Masjid to let the kids also see and feel the atmosphere and sights during the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan at Jama Masjid.
It was a food cum heritage walk sans any guide. It is a congested place and traffic restrictions were in place so we took a taxi that dropped us about 100 m away from Jama Masjid and then we walked on.




Jama Masjid was all lit up and you could see the minarets and the dome from a distance .It was a sight to behold the largest Mosque in India in its full glory.




The lanes and the market had festive look as they were all decked up and ready to welcome the fasting muslims streaming out of Jama Masjid after attending the special prayers.
Here are a few glimpses of the various shops that are famous for their wares and food.

All the censor board controversy about this film only piqued everyone's interest further because of which I too just had to watch it .Of course it has a great crew to boast of which another reason was.







This film is a hard hitting film based on the widely prevalent drug addiction in Punjab  and I really think the director and writers have done a good job .Shahid kapoor plays a troubled and cocky singer , Tommy Singh ,who is also a hardcore drug addict .
Alia Bhatt plays the role of a migrant worker who gets trapped in the drug trade trying to make some quick bucks and the mafia is then after her.She looks quite convincing but falters in the accent department.




Kareena Kapoor as Dr. Preet Sahni and Diljit Dosanjh as A.S.I.Sartaj Singh ,whose younger brother was an addict too,together fight the battle which turns out to be a dark and murky business with its tentacles spread wide and deep into politics and the police department .

The film is directed by Abhishek Chaubey the same direc…

With Ramadan mood in the air, I decided this was a good time to visit Jama Masjid and also experience the food at the legedary Hotel Karim there .Hotel Karim was once ranked among the "top hotels in Asia " by the Time magazine !



     Even if you have never been there , you can ask anyone and you will be lead to this small nook in Matia Mahal locality , where this Hotel is situated ,near the largest Mosque of India - The Jama Masjid in Delhi .                            

It turned out that it was not such a great idea to be there around Ramadan because the place was teeming with crowds and we had to wait for about 20 minutes to get a seat .
The Ambience and Service 
The place is clean and devoid of any trimmings (typical to muslim run hotels ).It has no fuss plastic dishes and basic seating arrangements .No alcohol is served .
Once seated we placed our order and I was amazed that the waiter did not note anything down , he just penned it to memory and  we were served within an…

Last night I was taking a stroll with a friend in Cannuaght Place (Rajiv Chowk), New Delhi and we could hear the strumming of guitar .Curious,we went around searching for the source of the music and came across this restaurant at C-37, Connaught Place, New Delhi .
Situated on the first floor ,it has two levels , the upper one as the name suggests being the open house with a terrace seating arrangement.It's a lounge like area with Sheeshas and wall mounted fans spraying jets of water to keep the temperature down .The atmosphere was electric and cool if you understand what I mean.It's a great place to unwind with friends .Though with the loud music, you can't have much of a conversation .

There were three menu and all three were extensive - The Bar Menu , The Food Menu and the Sheesha menu .

We ordered Budweisers and Meditarranean Crostinis for starters .I need to say that their starters are very generous .The crostini was buttery and crunchy with just the right amount of s…
