Serendipity

A few days ago I blogged about why we have stopped doing silly things. Now that the thought had stayed with me for close to a month now, I finally decided to do something about it. I decided to rent a cycle and go cycling in Mumbai. The first thought was scary; I have not cycled for like 15 years now, what if I have forgotten how to do it? There way too much traffic in Mumbai, what if I get into an accident? So I asked a friend to tag along, I told him to ride in front of me so I could just follow him. Initially, because it was late evening, there was traffic and the ride wasn’t as enjoyable as I wanted it to be. However, as we got closer to 10pm-ish the traffic subsided and it was a dream to ride. We went all the way from Dadar to Horiman Circle. I personally find the southern part of Mumbai absolutely mesmerising; especially at night when there is less traffic, lesser people and the lights have come on. The old heritage buildings look stunning, the empty roads add to the ...

A Day At Fort JadhavGadh, Pune – Review

I recently visited Fort JadhavGadh in Pune for a quick stay. The place is known because it is an actual fort which is turned into a hotel now, more on that and the actual stay is coming up later in the blog. How To Reach Fort JadhavGadh, Pune So, the place is around a good 3 to 4 hours away from Mumbai, including a quick pit stop. Up until you get off the Mumbai-Pune expressway, it is quite normal but after that your travel time depends on the Pune traffic. Also, the last stretch of the drive is through the interior village roads, so that slows you down a bit because you can’t speed there much. For context, we left from Mumbai at around 11.30 am and reached by 3.15 pm, with a 10 minute pit stop. Once we reached, the exterior of the place takes you back a century and you might as well be a princess returning to your fort. They have done a good job maintaining the facade and the place. However, do keep in mind that you would need to climb several staircases to get around...

Eve, Worli - Restaurant Review

Nestled in one of the quiet corners of Worli is Eve. The restaurant is not new to the city, they already have an outlet in Powai, but I have not been there so I was going in with nothing to compare with. The restaurant is nicely curated and I loved that they have different seating options, we opted for the outdoor-yet-indoor space. The natural light was a delight for our lunch. The relaxing vibe was blissful and I really enjoyed spending time with my friend, chatting about the past week, and eating yummy food. Despite the sweltering Mumbai heat, the ambience was cool and inviting, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of the city. I could only imagine dining here during winter. The entrance really has my heart, it's like walking into a magical library which leads you to delectable food. The menu at Eve boasts an array of irresistible dishes, we opted for the following: Truffle Parmesan Fries - Rs 475 The Chicken Katsu Sushi - Rs 700 Pan-fried noodles with Black Bean S...
