A sentimental journey in time

0

The Paras and Shalini label is sheer poetry written in the language of fabric, thread and beads. The Geisha Label has little that’s over the top, yet, it is precisely the stuff fashionable dreams are made of.  Flowers, art, heritage, mystique, life and nature’s pride creates and inspires the romantic world of Geisha Designs. The designer duo, Shalini Jaikaria and Paras Bairoliya, re- create traditional silhouettes with a distinctive old-world romantic look. Delicate embroidery, striking textures, vibrant motifs coupled with meticulous precision in detail make their creations beautiful inside out.

“There is something superficial and volatile about the seasonal and elusive whims of fashion which offends our sense of beauty. And therefore we persevere to sustain a feeling of enchantment in this world of fashion that never tires, never changes, never dies,” feel the designer partners.

A tribute to the dying legacy of the Bombay Irani Cafes 

0

SodaBottleOpenerWala is your quintessential Bombay Irani Café with all its idiosyncrasies in place. After Delhi NCR, SodaBottleOpenerWala opened its doors at Lavelle Road, Bengaluru today, to pay tribute to the dying legacy of a Bombay Irani cafe bringing with it typical Parsi cuisine, some Irani specialties and Bombay street food, a well-stocked bar – in a fun, quirky and contemporary avatar.

The design is old world, colonial and humorous. Walk into the restaurant and experience a slice of Bombay at its Parsi best. Every item seen on the walls and the menu is typical of Bombay and of what you  may find in a Parsi home and kitchen.

Keeping most original elements of a typical Irani cafe in place, architect Clement and fashion and interior designer Sabina Singh, added a few contemporary touches. Their take on Parsi-style Freddie Mercury meets Monty Python on the large mirrors, juxtaposes with a play of graphics all around that bring out the Parsi spirit and idiosyncrasies.

They will be opening their door in Hyderabad soon!!!

5 bandi’s to eat from in Hyderabad

0

top_5_bandis_in_hyderabadNo matter where you are or what you do, which star hotel you frequent in Hyderabad, there’s always that one bandi you keep going back to. Whether you are ravenously hungry or you just need a late night grub fix, bandi’s are

Govind ki bandi: If you are as obsessed with Dosas as we are, then this is one place you have to check out. Just a warning though, this is not for the weak hearted also known as the health conscious because Govind’s is famous for, if we may say so, his utterly butterly dosas. Whether you like it crispy or soft, these dosas are served to you hot off the pan and loaded with butter. Needless to say, it melts in your mouth – these dosas are a hit with everyone from grandparents to grandchildren.

Location: Charminar

Jishnu’s Pani Puri Bandi:

Call it pani puri or call it pucchka – is like saying Potato – Potato (which obviously sounds better than what it reads), either ways you’re in for 10 rounds of bite sized happiness.

Location: Srinagar colony

Pandu’s or NS Bandi:

There’s nothing more fulfilling than a plate of Indian Chinese from the streets. Really! Don’t believe us? Head to MLA Colony road 12 where Pandu’s bandi sets up his stall post 7pm and tell us we are wrong. Whether you like spice or not, you’re bound to keep going back for some of this yummy street Chinese food! Beware the Suzette though. That even we would stay away from.

Location: MLA Colony

JCNM Spicy Maggi Centre

There are people who like maggi and there are people who love maggi. But there are also people who love it especially after a party or work hours? Yes, such people do exist and they relish every bite of the egg maggi that has been made famous here.

Maharaja Chaat Bandi

This iconic  bandi in Jubilee Hills is a hit with everyone who wants to dig into some spicy “chatpata” chaat. They’re famous for its paani puri, samosa ragada and the paav bhaaji. What sets this apart from the rest of the bandi’s is that there’s ample place to park your car as well as service to the car itself. Just like in a drive-in! So chaat anyone?

Location: Ayyapa Society, Jubilee Hills

Vidya Balan was recently spotted at the Melbourne International Film Festival wearing a Ritu Kumar saree. While we love simplicity, this might have been tad bit too simple but then again, we know Vidya isn’t for OTT, so we can let this pass. Although, we must confess… we have a big crush on the chunky silver oversized ring!
