Gol Gappe @ Bikanerwala Gurgaon

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Gol Gappe (pani puri) is one of most liked chaat I think. My wife is crazy about it. She is not at all interested in the shahari chaat, she likes all the way the village chaat and that’s true I think. The Chaat with road smoke and sweat of the chaatwala has to taste better anyway :).

Sagar Ratna at Ansal Crown Plaza Faridabad

Friday, October 12th, 2007

I was at this restaurant coz my wife forced for have south Indian food. I haven’t been to Sagar ratna at DT City Centre in Gurgaon, but the experience at the one at Ansal Crown Plaza Faridabad was good, the ambience especially. With well decorated Ganesh Ji at the entrance and the south Indian fragrance (I have been to many restaurants in Kerala and Tamil Nadu) of Dhoop Battis, the ambience was good. The food quality was more or less same as the other South Indian restaurants. But I feel Coco Palm at DT City Centre is better.

Privat Hospital Gurgaon, a small review

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Have been to this hospital for sometime, the charges are no doubt more than any other hospital of the same category with some hidden charges, but, the list consultants they have are really appreciable. Rooms are clean, large, ample space to walk and talk (I had a bad experience for this in Umkal Hospital). Well trained and spoken staff.

Overall a good hospital.

Ansal Crown Plaza Faridabad

Got a chance to visit this mall today, nice mall with full occupancy and most of the known brands including Mc Donald’s, Sagar Ratna and more.

SRS Cinema and Movies : I like it….

Sunday, September 16th, 2007

Well the best thing about it is that its cheaper than other and parking is not a issue …. And the worst is that Sohna road is in a very bad shape, so you need 10 extra min to reach the hall and you can find the web site of the SRS Cinemas easily for booking online ticket. Also, in case you go for a late night show at SRS at the Omaxe Plaza, there are chances you may get frightened coz the Audi is generally with a lesser or almost very low crowd and when the show ends late night, there’r only a few guards in the mall.

Go on Thursdays and you can get a ticket for 50 bucks for the Gold Class. The latest movies I’m seen over there is Chak de India and Dhamaal. The Hall is nice but with untrained staff. Overall a better experience that DT and PVR.

Way to 9/11 on Zee Studio

Wednesday, September 12th, 2007

This is seriously good stuff. I have been hearing about the WTC 9/11 attack and the stories behind it. This serial (documentary) is actually the exact stuff behind the crime committed by the Bin Laden group.

I liked the 5 hour serial and this is very clear that the happening could been avoided if the US top officials including the President would have been serious about the work done by the CIA and the FBI. The problem lies behind the fact that we need a SOLID proof before taking any action against the crime and the criminals. Well, it is more important to take precaution rather than repenting that we could not take appropriate steps because we didn’t had a SOLID proof or the SPECIFICS for taking an action

Reliance Mobile: Handsets no good.

Friday, August 31st, 2007

I have been waiting for a decent handset from Reliance coz I am fed up of using the stupid LG lower end handset. This is company is really not concerned with the higher end customers, the latest high end handsets are :

LG Chocolate (review not at all good)

Motorola Motorazr (Priced at 12,500/-, not at all worth it)

Nokia 6280 (users says that there is some problem with the display, priced at 15,500/-)

Got the news a few days back that Reliance Telecom is coming up with Blackberry in a month, If the features suits to me, I’ll have to take one, since I have no choice.

No to Big Brother TV Show: Channel 4

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Well, I got this news just now and its crap. I can’t believe that the celebrities are not ready to part in the show. I don’t remember the exact amount that Shilpa Shetty made in the show but I it must be a handsome amount. And if its really the case, I would suggest Channel 4 to take the celebrities from UK itself.

Rajasthali: The Rajasthan Handicrafts Emporium at Jaipur

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

Well, this was the place I actually like on the Mirza Ismail (M I) Road at Jaipur. Not because it has the best quality products, but because of the competitive prices as compared to the other Government Emporiums. I have visited the Rajasthali at the Baba Kharag Singh Marg to Connaught Place at Delhi and its condition is really miserable.

Jaipur’s Rajasthali has got the best variety of crafts at good prices, ofcourse the prices are not very low, but its Ok. I saw a Wooden Dining table set with complete work for 8 people over there in 65000 bucks, INR obviously. If you can get the same one in delhi for more than 1.5 Lakhs. Of course I have been in Handicrafts like for the past 4 years, but I know the margins that they are charging is much fair than the others.

SKIT – Jaipur : A small review

Saturday, August 25th, 2007

My sister managed to get admission in this college at Jaipur and I had to take her to the Hostel. It takes about 30 min to reach the college by Car from the main city. The college is at the outskirt of Jaipur in the fast growing Jagatpura area. The college campus is no doubt well maintained with Open air auditorium, well maintained workshops and clean Hostel. I couldn’t manage to have food at the mess but had pakodas and tea, the food quality was undoubtedly better than my own RCERT Mess at Chandrapur.

Don’t know about the studies there but, the prospectus shows that the passed out students were placed in good companies. I hope my sis also do well…. :)
