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.

English Vinglish - My Review

This movie looked very promising from the promos.  It seemed like this movie would be an uplifting one and after watching the movie, I can safely say that it was. This is a story about a woman, a housewife, a mother (Sridevi) who is constantly chided by her husband and her daughter for not being able to speak English.  She felt as if she is unable to please her close ones with what she does.  She runs a small catering business from home. One day, she gets a call from her sister in the US to visit her as she needed Sridevi's help for her daughter's marriage.  Sridevi would have to go alone to a foreign land (her close ones would be coming late). She is dreading her visit to US alone since she does not know English. Once in the US, she is not able to communicate and gets a bit disheartened by it.  Once while visiting a place in New York, she saw an advertisement on a bus about learning English in 4 weeks.  She quietly decides to join these classes wi...

Abhinav joins cricket academy

As a young kid, around age of 7 yrs, I used to attend a cricket coaching camp with the Saurashtra Ranji cricketers.  it was split in to 2 sessions - morning and evening. The morning sessions consisted of exercises, sprints, duck walks, frog jumps and some tennis ball practice.  It was strenuous but a lot of fun.  being 7, I seemed to have a lot of energy and loved to participate in this regimen with people who played at the highest domestic level and I used to be in awe of them. In the evening session, we practiced with the leather ball.  Before that, however, we used to master our defensive shots (forward and back foot) with the hanging ball.  The whole point of this article to is to describe all the emotions that I felt when Abhinav started practicing his defense with the hanging ball.   I think the teachers are not as strict nowadays as before and kids have an option to explore things a bit more.  The regimen is not as strenuous and the empha...

Tsunami Relief

This has been an extremely terrible disaster. Being an Indian and having seen the Gujarat earthquake kill so many people, this just seems unreal to fathom that such a tragedy could strike again in span of such a few years. I just feel sad to start my blog with this piece of news. I offer my condolences to all the people who have lost their loved ones in all the countries affected by this tsunami. I would urge all the folks to donate or volunteer and help wherever possible. There are a number of relief agencies who are helping out and you can donate on their websites. The South-East Asia Earthquake and Tsunami offers frequent updates on who is accepting donations and what is needed by the folks in the affected areas. Please please help. Even if you can only offer Rs. 1 or $1, please donate that. Collecting that from million people will amount to a lot of money.
