A very nice initiative by Indian Railways . An electronic display of booking chart showing particularly status of those who had booked in RAC and WL.
So long Haleem. Till we meet again stay the same !!

In a supermarket here, found these cute little iPhone themed erasers. We used to call them “rubber”, before those Americans spoilt it for us.
Before I savour Haleem and Biryani, this is to remind that Hyderabad is also a city of small eats - Mirchi Bajji and Punugulu.

Over the weekend tried out a tiny Korean joint - Shimtur, in Paharganj. Though the entrance and the climb up are a bit shady, the food was really good.
We had seaweed soup, seafood pancake, spicy chicken and rice. The main course came up with additional condiments like Kimchi, Egg roll etc. We washed all this down with Iced Tea.

Found this First World War memorial arch in the market of Vellore.
The small inscription in the middle reads— From this village 277 went to the Great War 1914 - 1919. Of these 14 gave up their lives

Friday lunch be like… #DelhiDiary #Food
Flavored Coconut Water it seems. Why take a healthy and naturally sweetened coconut water and add mango/strawberry/orange/pineapple flavored sugar syrup is beyond me!!
Dear Delhi, why would you encourage this abomination?
Submission.

The 100K milestone was crossed today. Miles to go before I part with her.
If I were to recommend one vegetarian dish in Old Delhi, it will be Lotan’s Chole Kulche.
I had read about Lotan’s spicy Chole Kulche a while ago, but did not pay much attention as I felt, being married into an Andhra family, my spice levels were way above these Naarth fellows. Boy, was I wrong. That spicy chilli oil takes that dish to another level !!

Buttermilk / More / Majji is so soothing in the Delhi summers.

Had a sumptuous Vishu Sadhya at @mahabelly.
They have dinner also today, just in case you missed lunch.
Over the weekend we had a weaver from the Bangladesh border showing his wares in our place. Beautiful stuff. In case you are interested, drop me a line. He is Delhi for another week.

After full Andhra meals, got to savour some Andhra folk storytelling as well. Just that I needed a translator for the jokes ;)

One of the most fun thing about festivals is the food. The Missus made these Poli for Telugu New Year, Ugadi.
Ugadi Subhakanshalu!!
