Zaica restaurant review

This is a review about the restaurant called Zaica on Brookefield Road which goes towards EPIP.  This is a place which is right above the Nilgiris grocery store.

The restaurant ambience is good.  You are greeted warmly by a lady upon your arrival.  The seating space is good and the place is clean.  When it is hot outside, please do not sit near the glass window.  For some reason, the circulation of A/C is horrible there.

I have only gone there only for lunch so, we had buffet.  The buffet is quite simple and doesn't contain too many items.  They have couple of soups (veg and non-veg), 2 starters (each for veg and no-veg), some raita/salad. The starters are generally ok.  Their sweet corn soup was quite good (different soup everyday) and this is from a perdson who does not like corn at all.

For lunch, they had different varieties of paneer tikka (awadhi, achari, white etc) each occasion I went there plus another appetizer.  They have generally 2 entrees.  I have been there a few times and have like their mixed vegetable sabzi everytime.  They serve either naan or roti at your table.

For desserts they typically have jalebi, phirni, sometimes boondi ladoo (I loved them) etc.

Their lunch buffeet is Rs. 250 unless they have jacked up the prices. Overall I would recommend this restaurant to anyone.  It gets quite full on weekdays so, reserve a table in advance, if possible.

Their menu is limited but the taste is good so, people who don't want to have too much variety to pick from, can go to this restaurant.

Abhinav takes his first wicket

Last weekend, more precisely on Sunday October 14th, Abhinav took his first wicket ever.  He got some boy out leg before wicket.  I have heard the story about a million times about how he ran up real fast and how the batsman try to pull his ball and how the ball hit his back leg and the coach declared him out. It was pure joy and innocence on the face of Abhinav that I saw, something I wish I still retained.  Sometimes, I feel this is what sports are all about or rather should be.  His tiny 6 year old friends told him that they will inform everyone in their school bus that Abhinav took his 1st wicket.  I know many say that you should teach your kids to win at any cost, to make them winners.  I tend to disagree. I have always believed that means to an end are more important than the end itself.  I try to inculcate the same in Abhinav.  Play the sport the right way and respect all the players even when they may not be as good at the sport as yo...

What beautiful weather!!!

It has been blustry and damp since last night.  While coming back from work, we had rain all the way home on Airport Road.  At night, winds started howling and I love the sound of winds blowing through the small crevices in the closed windows.  The wind was and is cold even this morning.  My son finally ordered me to put some socks on for him, something he has not worn in close to 6 months. My son had his second day in nursery at Vibgyor School in Marathahalli yesterday.  The school decided to split kids in his playschool class between 7 sections of nursery.  So, now all the friends of my son are split up.  He hated his 1st day of school.  However, for the second day, a friend of his from our apartment complex got admitted into his section.  I thought that would make a difference!  No way!!  Both were crying incessantly.  It was like triveni sangam of Ganga-Jamuna-Saraswati in full flow from the eyes of the two.  Luckily, an old teacher of DS saw him crying and took him to the class.  ...

My kid's notes

Just like any father, I feel proud when my 5 year old son does something that makes you go "damn...how does he get these ideas?". Recently, he wrote about our trip to my hometown of Porbandar in his daily notebook that he has to ready in school. He had gone to see Peacocks and saw a lot of them. Here is what he wrote about it and then drew a picture. Looking at the picture, the peacock on the right is standing with his feet firmly planted on the ground. However, the peacock on the left has bent his legs and is getting ready for take off. I was zapped since I didn't expect such thinking from him.
