Like frequent fliers,  frequent restaurant goers have also now emerged as a terminology to refer to people who frequent the restaurants in the city  they are based out from. However we cannot expect them to know all and everything  about each restaurants and eat outs spread across the NCR region. Never mind ! Now we have Zomato Restaurant Guide 2012. This book is the print version of the very  popular web site called Zomato.com. that has over 2.5 million visitors, visiting their virtual space every month.The idea of bringing out this book, their first print edition is surely an idea worth spreading.  It gives me therefore immense delight to review  "Citibank Zomato Restaurant Guide2012" Delhi NCR.... This 200 pager sleek with easy to read  fonts,  features over 200  must visit restaurants in the Delhi NCR region. The restaurants are divided into 19 categories  to suit different occasions, right from a family dinner to a  'just you and me ' kind of dinner for c

He undoubtedly is  a veteran congress leader and a staunch  Indira Gandhi loyalist.He is the most seasoned  national politician.He is also  the best troubleshooter for Congress and U PA  He can be singularly credited for bailing out the UPA government from many embarrassment. He undoubtedly stands a lone gentleman in the parliament of rogues and ruffians. Sadly however he has never been able to  emerge  as a magnetic mass leader. He is Mr Pranab Mukherjee. This man, moments away from now  for sure will be  declared elected as the 13th  President of Republic of India In today's putrid political mess, will Pranab Da emerge as the Man who will  re-define Presidential responsibilities  and make Rashtrapati Bhavan less ceremonial and more authoritative....is something which time alone can answer.? However if such transformation happens, it will be a breather relief for democracy and the people and perhaps add a well needed  learning  for the  Congress and the UPA to realize that

The saintly people today seems to be more enterprising and innovative than their predecessors some decades ago. How else  could they  sell 'living ' as an art and mint money,power and more money.I have always believed that living is simply a privilege that is god given and which goes away the moment your  heart stops beating.Now I don't intent  to take a dig at the hordes of God men by saying what I said. I for one simply believe in living my life without making  art and commerce of it.. I don't like the idea of being a  reminiscent I simply believe in moving forward and taking every day head up and feet grounded..Life is about exploring and chartering and not post-morteming  and repenting. That is why I love Geography and prefer History  to rest with the historians Most of the people I have interacted closely and know them for decades ,have done well in life. I may not be enjoying their economic comforts and financial frills,but I am happy the way I am. I lov

Crimes and Rapes, Corruptions and  Scams, Female feticide & Bride burning  along with Road rage and Rowdyism continues to remain a runaway success in spite of  all those awareness creating 'Jago re Jago' TV   episodes and serials. The puppetry of politics are paving way for social activists and self propelled God heads to play dirty and make business of derailing political climate in the country.  The woe list of people continue to  grow tall with prices and patience hitting a ceiling  beyond the cloud and the sky . Yet we still  hold the  audacity to  Hope for a better and not a battered tomorrow.   Our  king size plights and prejudice  does not lessen our courage to push on and pull on with life and destiny. We remain ambitious,yet are not made of sterner stuff as Shakespeare would put it.It is truly  sad therefore  to find  some among us cutting away their lives on the 'metro track' without giving life a chance to come  unruffled through the pits and

   Long back in time,when I was a boy scout, I hated to drink plain milk, so my mother used to add a heap spoon full of "Bournvita" to make it utterly buttery delicious and I truly loved it. As a boy I was very naughty but never became the Dennis the Menace, that's why I love this tag line a lot  ..."Brought up right,Bournvita Bright" Today when I am in my sixty,I still hate plain drink,I  always feel utterly bitterly delighted to have my 'old monk' with soda.I feel it makes me nutricious enough to walk straight and  keep  grounded to the reality bites.. Now if that makes me say 'drinking is nutricious"....I am sure it is not going to send all the  liver loving people hitting the Bars.  However  Brand "Amul" does not think that way...that's why it is getting  'Kolaveri-ed' over Cadbury' saying 'milk alone is not nutricious'.. In India today you can never remain frustrated with democracy as long as yo

Across the Globe Democracy remains  the most preferred form of governance.  It's philosophy "For the people, By the people and Of the people" continues to hit the right chord with the people across the Globe.The year 2010 saw almost an universal upsurge for Democracy. The people in Bolivia, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya,Lebanon, Ivory Cost and Iran demonstrated the audacity to come on the streets to demolish authoritarianism  and fundamentalism to bring in Democracy.. India remains world's largest if not the oldest surviving democracy. We have our share of political upheavals and  communal turmoils, yet we know we will continue to remain not  influenced by Military Coups and Dictatorship that keep rattling our neighborhoods. Our Generals and Solders will always  remain ferocious and dare devils on the battlefields. Our Armed forces have time and again proved that when it comes to deeds of valor and chivalry they are never a second to none. However on the home turf our

Sitting on my sixty and some, I trail the tracks that I left behind.I realize that I was never a trailblazing person. Be it academics,be it sports, be it my career, I always remained an "also ran" entity. I am sure this has nothing to do with my love for horses, polo and the army. I was never a man of sterner stuff  therefore I knew I would have never made it to the NDA and obviously therefore never have become the part of the  list of the Generals who contributed heart & soul and proved time and again to the world at large that Indian Army is one among the finest in the world. Our Army has always rose up to the challenges of external aggression & internal disturbances simply because of its belief that honour and welfare of the country comes first always and every time. General V K Singh, no doubt is a highly decorated Army officer. He also happens to be the very first Indian armed forces officer to be inducted into the prestigious United States Army War Colleg
