Reviewed Annoyance

ANNOYANCE is anything but annoying!

Side-splitting comic English play, this one is not a run of the mill plot. It's about a man who goes to a psychiatrist for help. His problem - Annoyance ! People find him extremely annoying and he wants to correct that. Can't speak more about the play without giving away the storyline but it hol...Read more

Reviewed Wraps & Rolls - Khar West - Mumbai

Roll(icking) food

This chain of fast food has many branches across Bombay(Chowpatty, Phoenix Mills, Warden Road are the ones that come to my mind but there are more). They primarily serve veg and non veg rolls, i.e. thin roomali rotis that are made on the spot and filled with your choice of paneer, veg tikkis or ...Read more

First Citizen CitiBank Gold Card
Citibank MasterCard Credit Card

I agree that Citibank is one of the worst credit card companies.. have had several bad experiences myself. Worse, lately everytime I have been going to Shoppers' Stop, their salespersons are very forceful in getting you to sign up for the card. It's very annoying because they just don't let you be a...t peace. That's Citibank for you - at its marketing best but after sales worst.Read More

RAJDHANI-Truly The Capital Of Thali
Rajdhani - Malad - Mumbai

I have been to Rajdhani a number of times as my office is close by and sometimes my office colleagues yearn for good Gujarati food. The consensus amongst us all (10-12 of us) is that the service is quite bad as the waiters try to speed your eating and show you the door once you're done. More i...mportantly coming to the food, there have been occassions when we left office to eat at Rajdhani but the menu for the day was not good and we have turned away from the place to eat at the Food Court instead. So while it is a good place to visit and try, I would not give it a rating of 5 at all!!Read More

Hail the Lord (of Indian food)

Gaylord is now a landmark at Churchgate. One cannot imagine the area without this restaurant. And mind you even after all these years, the restaurant has its fair share of regulars who refuse to try the new copycats around the area as well as around Bombay. The restaurant is split into 3 sect...Read more

Reviewed Fossil Watches

Dependable but no great looks

I have a Fossil watch since last year - it was a gift otherwise perhaps I would have never owned one. My watch is supposedly one of the best brands (which you realise after visiting their website) and yet leaves a lot desired. The watch is reliable and sturdy. So far I havent had any scratche...Read more

While reading your review, I thought it was as though someone was penning my thoughts down !! Everything you mentioned is correct, right down to the stuffed crust bit.

Reviewed Great Punjab - Bandra - Mumbai

Decent North Indian food

I had been to the Great Punjab many eons ago - a dim lit place with okayish food. At that time, I came away unimpressed. But lately my friends insisted on going to the restaurant and for once, I complied. The changed ambience is a pleasant welcome. Colourful and bright - it tends to add spiri...Read more

For Seafood lovers AND non-lovers !!

I first heard of this place because Madhuri Dixit visited it. But for all seafood lovers and especially those who hate seafood, Gajalee is the place to visit. If you're a celebrity sucker, then you should definitely check this place. Akshay Kumar, Twinkle Khanna, Dr Jamuna Pai, Food critic Siddh...Read more

A refreshing change from Daniel Steele

This book from Judith McNaught, like most of her other books, is a refreshing change for those who have pledged their loyalty to Danielle Steel and the likes. Judith has combined a fine sense of humor with romance to arrive at this modern day fairy-tale. Not only does it leave stars in your eyes...Read more

Totally avoidable - save your money !!

I went to the Kerala Heath Spa sometime in November 2001 and was thoroughly disappointed. The ambience is a cramped up place with the ghost of classical music playing in the background.
