Indiblogger #FlipkartKids Meet Mumbai 2015-Thoughts and Coverage

The first Indiblogger event I attended, for the launch of #FlipkartKids on 19th Dec. 2015 at The Blue Frog, Lower Parel, Mumbai. This is actually the last Indiblogger meet of this year and boy,has it been an event to remember. The whole ambiance, the meeting of accomplished bloggers from all over the place, the chit-chat, the informal atmosphere, the warmth with which everyone greets one another and the lively interaction on the topic of e-commerce trends itself made it all an event to be remembered for long. 

I remember how,till a couple of years ago, people used to wonder as to how anybody could shop online. Today, e-commerce is a way of life for most of us! Flipkart is indeed the pioneer and now they have launched Flipkart Li'l Stars-India's biggest online store for kids and I can see how even kids will be hooked to online shopping now. Hey wait, they already are :D


Some really intelligent points to ponder over came across during our interaction with experts from Flipkart, Disney, Chhota Bheem. Not only are the parents nowadays so aware and in tune with world trends, the kids are no less. They have themed parties, they know how to operate smartphones and tablets, they love browsing through the internet, they have this competitive spirit where they want the same toys & games that their friends have! They know exactly what is 'in' and what is 'not'. Moreover, they want everything NOW because waiting for something is so passe :D It was definitely funny to hear mommy bloggers chipping in with their own experiences in this regard and awe-inspiring how truly our world has changed in such a short span of time!

E-commerce is changing rapidly. As parents & kids get more discerning and demanding, the sellers have to keep up with their expectations. Nice to see that Flipkart is working towards that. As customers, the feedback that we provide is of utmost importance to them so that they can work on their shortcomings and make it the best ever buyer experience for us. I find the rapidly changing world of e-commerce and technology to inculcate a symbiotic relationship between buyers and sellers where it turns into a win-win situation for both of us :)

All this might seem like heavy duty information, but it was all actually a part of very interesting discussion. It was not all work though, this meet had loads of tasty food, cocktails, selfie sessions and even an ad-mad game to turn into a complete playground for us adults :D The icing on the cake was the cute Chhota Bheem soft toy we all got as a gift from Flipkart in the end! My favorite part was however a real live Chhota Bheem dancing and meeting all of us.

A pleasure to be at,I am looking forward to more such events and I wish Flipkart Li'l Stars all the best :)

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

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
