Great eat-in bakery in dadar

When I say bakery, I actually mean a great little cafe with an awesome dessert menu. I recently went to mumbai and my friend took me to over fresh soon after picking me up from the airport. I fell in love with their spinach quiche and had it every single day for the next 2 weeks (it helped that ...Read more

Gorgeous visual treat, but lacks the Cameron punch
Avatar Movie

it is not disappointing, per se. it is a cool movie, but i expected to see a fantastic movie from cameron. the difference is between good and excellent... may be i hav high expectations! and no, just watching a movie in 3d will not make its minus points disappear!!!

Gorgeous visual treat, but lacks the Cameron punc

I firmly believe that one cannot judge a movie on first viewing. I like to review a movie after watching it a second time, after a week of my first viewing, preferably a month later. So may be I should not write this review an hour after seeing AVATAR. A second viewing shows me things that I mig...Read more

Consistent and affordable

When you enter the hotel(located in Thirumalai Pillai Road, T Nagar), the restaurant is located immediately on the right. It's more like a partition of the reception area, but you don't feel the difference. The maître d' was courteous and seated us at the non-smoking area. The spread is the u...Read more

Bangkok family travelers - A caution tip
Bangkok

Hey thanks for the rating! The thing was, my parents are very old-fashioned and very conservative and i was more worried because I had a teenaged brother, so I went to great lengths (like planning the itinerary myself and choosing an expnsive family hotel) to avoid this kind of an incident. Yet, it ...did! Just shows you that things will happen anyway, regardless of what you do or try to do to avoid them! But surprisingly, my parents (after from the first-time shock) took it so well. I was expecting angry questions on why I chose to bring them to such a area etc., but they never did. That's the beauty of travelling, esp. family travel... we grow close and our outlook broadens so that we choose to ignore the ugliness and concentrate on the beautiful parts instead :)Read More

Smooth as silk... except for customer service

I flew Thai Airways during December 2007 for the sector MAA-BKK-MAA. Check-in was efficient. The flight was new and very comfy. In-flight staff were courteous. I missed the personal screens of bigger aircrafts, but the central screen made up for it. Food was delicious and hot, but sometimes, the...Read more
