A hot September afternoon at the Big Burp Deli

I went for a long awaited shopping trip to Vashi yesterday with my dad. But as the day wore on, the oppressive heat and the dust took its toll and I frantically started searching for a place to soothe our aching feet and satiate our grumbling stomachs. We came across this cafe Big Burp Deli with its all black exterior and big bold lettered name. What struck me were the cute three pots of ferns hanging against the backdrop of the glass window with white curtains giving it a look of quaint European style cafe. The charming exterior looked very inviting and we decided to go in. 

A small bell on the door chimed gently as I opened the door to step in. We seated ourselves comfortably in a corner overlooking a wall covered with vintage photographs. The interior of the cafe was very tastefully done up with fresh paintings,soft music and multicoloured cushion chairs stacked up against the wall adding a quirky touch. An array of sundry books placed neatly on a wooden plank completed the look.

The menu had an eclectic list of food items all of which looked tempting. We settled down on two Herbed mushroom pesto sliders,a mum's recipe slider, a shredded Paneer in Sriracha Mayo sandwich along with strawberry Oreo and Pan milkshakes (their speciality for the day). 

The mum's receipe sliders were amazingly crisp and tasted divine.The Herbed mushroom Pesto was faintly reminiscent of the mushroom sandwich I used to cherish at Nirula's in Delhi, ages ago. The paneer grilled sandwich was equally sumptuous with a liberal spread of mayo. All this washed down with a wholesome glass of strawberry Oreo and Pan milkshake made for a filling and delightful evening meal.

We stepped out of the little cafe, pleased with the fact that our shopping trip to Vashi had ended on such a sweet gastronomical delight.

The three pots of ferns which had lured me in swayed gently in the breeze outside. They had not failed me at all indeed.

"As I look out of my 27th floor office window into the blue Manhattan skyline, the white and grey cold mighty looking skyscrapers appear as if they are competing to get the biggest piece of the clear blue sky. Each trying to outshine one another just like little school children jostling to get attention in front of their teacher.." "The empty chairs in my office during the lunch hour seem to be silently conversing with each other.With the winter jackets of their occupants hung on their backs, it appeared that they were relishing these moments of quiet solitude of the lunch hour" "The train haltingly chugs into the platform as a reluctant child who plods his way to the school" "Perfectly made Rotis which don't need any nudging at all to blow up are like those childhood prodigies which bloom and blossom on their own with minimum efforts."

                                                                                             It’s the month of December! The month full of Christmas festivities and holiday cheer. It was a typical cold and windy December evening yesterday when I returned home from work. As I approached my apartment I was thrilled to find a lovely sight. It felt as if a thousand twinkling stars from the heaven had descended upon the landscaped gardens surrounding our apartment. The entire complex shimmered with beautiful Christmas lights. The glittering trees which usually fade away into the darkness of the night seemed to have come alive. The twinkling lights had made the biggest tree right in the middle of the garden look like a bride adorned with exquisite j...
