Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye: Delhi Photo Diary Wins 2008 Indibloggies Award

I would have loved to click self portraits with me jumping everywhere, my hair running wild and a smile on my face wide enough that you could count my teeth. But in the welfare of humanity I decided against scaring the daylights out of you. The reason for the celebration is that Delhi Photo Diary has won the 2008 Indibloggies Award.

I wish I could have distributed chocolates to everyone who has ever visited Delhi Photo Diary and especially to those who cast their votes. However, since distances do not permit such an extravagance, here is a photo of one of my favourite chocolates. Please have one at your end and think of me while the chocolate melts into your mouth.

'Kuch Meetha Ho Jaye', is Hindi for lets have something sweet. On any occasion of celebration we Indians love to have something sweet.

Thanks a tonne for your votes and support. :D

P.S: The pen is just for artistic effect. :D

Depaul's, Janpath

OK! I can't beleive that over a year of Delhi Photo Diary and I have never shown my favourite hangout place - Depaul's to you. This is the place where all, and I mean ALL, college goers have gone at least once to have cold coffee. This is a small coffee shop in Janpath. We have been going to this place for over 10 years now. This is one of the most cherished place of our college lives. The cold coffee at this place is sweet, milky and so yum that the best of cafe's cannot compete with it.

Dirt Art

Once a doodler, always a doodler. This is a sketch which I spotted on one of the dust laden water drums on the terrace of my office. I have no idea, who did this. But could identify with the person who would have had had a dirty finger after drawing this masterpiece, since I have been known to doing something similar on the dew laden windows of my car. Will bring my masterpiece some other time. Until then enjoy the Dirt-Art!

Talk To Me!

A collection of vintage telephone sets on sale at Janpath, Connaught Place. Note the black and red ones on the bottom left corner. These were sets we had in our homes just some 7-8 years back and now they are vintage. A time will come when my Nokia 7610 (source of this blog) will also been seen on one of these shops. :-)

Tibetan Kitchen

Greeted by a wall which had writing which I could not decipher, I was apprehensive of having dinner at Tibetan Kitchen, in Amar Colony. But friends insisted and promised that I would love the food and especially a drink they swear by. So in we went.





Red lighting, lamps with more undecipherable writings and a black and white wall paper, I already liked the place. But I became a fan after the first sip of this drink - which has an unassuming name - lemon, honey and ginger drink. These ingredients are mixed in hot water and voila! U have the best thing you have had ever. If you are in Delhi do check out the small quaint place in Amar Colony. It offers Indian version of Chinese food and a good ambiance to spend an evening.
