The California Boulevard - Sector 29, Gurgaon/Gurugram

It might be a difficult to locate as The California Boulevard does not really fall in the usual Sector 29 Market but is a little far away. To remember its location easily, just head to the market right behind the IFFCO Chowk Metro Station. 




I simply love the Californian ambiance and the way the owners have brought in a piece of America into Gurgaon. They have even put up a Harley outside the place and made a passage with the Stars of fame thing. The pictures that are hung on the wall remind you of Hollywood and so does the tram car Bar that has been set up.


The first TCB was set up in Rajouri Garden in New Delhi and the owners replicated their success in Gurgaon some time ago. The place is quite famous and is known for its food, which has taken inspiration from across the Globe. Indeed, with its interiors and feel, you would think of it as an American Diner. 





















Drinks

Signature Cocktails - Ordered Harley and Dead Bastard (Cool names for a drink). Dead Bastard is good and the bourbon and gin do taste well but Harley is the best of the lot. It is rightly bitter and tingles your throat. If going for mocktails try their drink which is Californian Punch I guess. It has vanilla ice cream in Cranberry juice and tastes yum. Summer Beach is good too.

Starters

We started off with Dilli Ki Chaat which is crisp spinach done up in Chat style with sev and yogurt. They have their own version of chilli paneer which I thought was superb. The cottage cheese tasted so fresh and they served it with  honey and chili sauce which complimented it quite well. They have a similar chicken dish,  Thai Wok Fried Chicken which was quite good. Both these dishes were the highlights of my meal. Chicken Adana Kebab is a newbie on the menu and is a welcome addition.

Main Course

I went for the Italian thing because Italian food is one of the specialties of this place. Peri Peri Chicken Pizza makes you feel so light, as in the taste of the bread is very minimal, Cheese and chicken are the dominant flavors. Pollo alla Parmigiana is a new addition to the menu and was recommended by the Chef. Boneless chicken is breaded and grilled with parmesan and mozzarella cheese which gives it a unique slightly salty but rich flavor. This is served with spaghetti and tossed vegetables. You really don't miss the Indian spices here with all the cheese. The Grilled Fish with Cheese with Herbs was a similar dish with Sole Fish grilled to perfection. The cheese when melts into the fish make it soft from inside and crunchy on the outside that you want a repeat. The only thing is that its so heavy and rich you can hardly eat the repeat.

Dessert

In Dessert, I had the awesome Chocolate Bomb which I had tried at another restaurant AM PM at Galleria recently. Here too, the chefs work the magic and bomb with chocolate, caramel, vanilla ice cream and walnut brownie.

An epidemic of loneliness: Why are we lonely in a world so full?

In the town of Havenwood, an unusual epidemic takes over—not one of physical illness, but an outbreak of loneliness. When Lina, a fiery yet secretly tender-hearted skeptic of romance, meets Quinn, a free-spirited artist questioning the same ideas, they are forced to confront whether real connection lies beyond romantic love or if they are truly doomed to solitude. It was a crisp day in Havenwood, and the sky was brooding—dark clouds laced with impatient energy before a thunderstorm, as if even the heavens felt the town’s growing melancholy. It was not the kind of town you would expect to be cloaked in loneliness. Stone cottages lined the narrow, winding roads, and the trees had that sage-like stillness that you only see in stories and dreams. I hadn’t been here long when the problem struck me like a slap in the face: everyone was obsessed with finding The One, as if every single person was but half a person, wandering through life like a lost sock in search of its pair. How did a town ...

Epitome of Equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...
