  • Recursion

    Recursion

    Recursion is a fascinating and intense page-turner that combines my favourite topics in science and science-fiction–memories and time travel. Funnily enough, I had no idea what I was getting into when I picked up this book. I recall hearing the title somewhere and when I found it at a library, I just picked it up.…

    Set up lighting for better video calls and meetings

    It’s been months since many of us have begun working from homes. Strangely, even though I have been working remotely for over seven years, I haven’t been working at home all that time. I am known to work from coffee shops, parks, malls, and strangest of places.

    SodaBottleOpenerWala – Quaint name, standard food

    I had been hearing about SodaBottleOpenerWala since quite some time before I made it there. It is located on Lavelle Road which didn’t make it easy for me to plan a trip there soon. I finally made it here last month for lunch with a friend. We didn’t need reservations. I just called in to…

    Black Mug Cafe – An Unexpected find

    Waffle Walle – Be One with Waffles

    I have been visiting Waffle Walle and having their delicious waffles since over a year now. It was awesome in the beginning, went a little down a few months back, and it is back to awesome now.

  • Matteo Coffea – My New Hangout

    Matteo Coffea – My New Hangout

    I walked in with great hopes for Matteo Coffea and I was not disappointed. It has an excellent ambiance which, in spite of it’s large rectangular layout, doesn’t feel too exposed or open.

  • Angeethi – Museum Inn, Church Street

    Angeethi – Museum Inn, Church Street

    The ambiance was nice and very low light, which made it difficult to take proper photos. We sat down at a table for six and ordered a hara bhara kabab, dal makhani, kadai sabz and a couple of naans (all in photos).

  • Oriental Connexions – The Best Walk to the Wok

    Oriental Connexions – The Best Walk to the Wok

    Initially, I thought of just ordering a lime soda but then I read the description for ‘Walk to the Wok’ and was intrigued. I have been to countless buffets but nothing quite like this one before.
