Kala Ghoda Arts Festival 2015

Just browsing through my big folder of pictures, I was reminded of how excited I am every year, when it is that time of the year :P Yup, when it is time to attend the annual extravaganza of Kala Ghoda Arts Festival in Mumbai! I have been going there as a visitor with my family for almost a decade now, i.e. from almost its very inception . We have seen it bloom into something spectacular, something that makes Mumbai proud and gives a new color to its free-spirit identity and most importantly,it is a platform for budding artists of all kinds. There are photographs, digital art installations, film screenings, dance and song performances, arts & crafts fair, workshops and what not,spread over almost a week of joyful brouhaha. I look forward to going there and be a part of the wonderful crowd milling around. I hope my pictures bring forth that joy :) Please do check out other years of Kala Ghoda too :)






















Freedom... Creativity... Joy... Kala Ghoda symbolizes all this for me and here is wishing to be a part of this journey for many more years to come :)

Foodies Meet Up At 4 Year Anniversary New Menu Launch Of 3 Wise Monkeys, Khar, Mumbai

Image
3 Wise Monkeys introduced me to the real meaning of the word 'chilling' about 3 years ago,in company of my college friends. It has been one of our regular haunts for simply relaxing without a care in the world.  It was thus an honor to attend Foodies Meet on the occasion of its 4 years anniversary when they have launched a whole new menu and what a menu it is! There is something for everyone. Every dish we tried was simply fantastic. From cheesy Pizza Fries and scrumptious Panipuri Paneer, from perfectly spiced Indian Curry Fries to flavorful Mushroom Sukka, from firebomb Paneer Chilly Naan Pav to crispy delicious Peri Peri Paneer Pizza and from wholesome Dal Khichdi with Chilly Paneer to heartily portioned Dum Aloo Biryani, cannot find a single fault in any dish whether it be flavors, ingredients or presentation :) Every drink we tasted (whether cocktail or mocktail) also stayed faithful to the flavors and their proportions of fruits/spirits/syrups and ice,not to mention

Magic At MasalaBar Mumbai : Food Photography & Food Review Session

Image
Kalra is a name synonymous with topmost quality and innovation when it comes to F&B industry in India. Having already been to Farzi Cafe and including it in my favorites' list, it was just a matter of time that I would end up at another Kalra's establishment and this time it was MasalaBar on a food blogger  session invite. Breathtaking ambiance filled with mirrors and candles, this is perhaps the most romantic ambiance for dating couples, pure and serene. Every single person who walks in must be wishing they had a 300 MP camera to capture every detail for eternity here :)  As for food and cocktails, the level of creativity and chemistry that goes into their inclusion in the menu is astounding. They actually have a chemistry lab for all the innovative cocktails they present,distilling, de-hydrating, using magnetic stirrer, centrifuge and so on to create masterpieces such as Bollywood Bhaang, Sunset at Carter, Evening at Chowpatty, Malabar Point,Sasoon Dock, Filter Ka

Magical Dining Experience A La Arabian Nights At Opa Bar & Cafe, The Peninsula Grand Hotel, Mumbai

Image
Already had a wonderful time at Peninsula restaurant at The Peninsula Grand Hotel in company of loved ones last month, so getting a chance to visit Opa Bar & Cafe for a review session with foodie friends was like a dream come true. The ambiance is amazing and crowd is classy. Colorful, vibrant and reminiscent of Arabian Nights in every way, this is one spacious place to chill out with friends and forget all stress of the day. Service is leisurely and prices are on higher side. Nothing matters when food and coffee here is excellent.  Yes, even though it is a bar and has superb drinks (I recommend Long Island Tea), coffee is unbelievably good. Ferrero Shake is also a must-have. Among food starters, Mushrooms on Toast, Bruschetta, Cottage Cheese Aglio Olio, Brie Fritters are very good. Mushrooms are creamy, Bruschetta is crispy refreshing, Cottage Cheese melt in mouth and Fritters so cheesy! In main course, Pasta in Pink Sauce was my favorite, not too heavy and full of flavor
