An Eggy Affair

The diva at Diva Maharashtra

A couple of months ago, I randomly packed my bags and landed in Mumbai.

Bong fest Part 2- Makar Sankrati

Coming from the section of Indian community, that lives to eat, it gets pretty difficult for me living away from home in North India and not having quite mastered the art of cooking Bengali cuisine. For times like this, I couldn’t be more thankful to Chittaranjan Park in Delhi, that caters to my wild-aamra-bangali-extreme-communal cravings.Continue
