Winter binge delights by Chaayos

Chaayos recently celebrated their fifth birthday and crossed the 50 outlets milestone. One of the highlights of their success is to successfully innovate their menus with changing of a season.
With the monsoon menu now retiring out, I recently went to taste their brand new winter menu.



The menu consisted of many superb items, including

Gur Wali Chai

Gur Wali Chai, is your normal tea with jaggery added instead of sugar. The consistency of tea and preparation is perfect as always.


Paneer Bhurji Bun

Paneer Bhurji Bun, reminded me of home. Cottage cheese scrambled and prepared well and spread over a bun.


Chicken Cutlet
The best way to start the meal. I had The best way to start the meal. Little spicy to my taste, but those who like spicy stuff, especially in winters this is a great snack.



Chicken Keema Loaded Open Parantha

The open paranthas are the highlight of Chaayos menu. They are crisp, tasty and base just fades back to let the toppings display their flavors. The Chicken Keema is topped up by cheese which gives a delightful, rich taste.

Kulhad Butter Chicken Kulcha  - The kulchas are the perfect bread with chili flakes sprinkled over their soft self. The Butter Chicken comes in their standard kulhads or earthen glasses. The flavor is little sweet and high on cardamom and Indian spices and goes well with the bread.


Moist Chocolate Cake - It is your standard chocolate muffin, baked a little extra and has a gooey feel to it.





Banana & Walnut Cake - The perfect winter delight, goes well with the hot tea. It's filling and rich.

Hope, when you head out to your nearest Chaayos outlet, you will check out these amazing additions. Do comment in your views and what you thought of the food.

Press 9 for a Crime by Shailendra Jha— Can a family fight a scam empire?

I read Shailendra Jha’s Press 9 for a Crime with my late-night lamp on; it’s a razor-sharp, humane thriller set between East Delhi and scam hubs in Southeast Asia . Fast, funny, and disturbingly real, it follows Aseem’s risky rescue of his missing brother. This review analyses theme, craft, character work and why the book both alarms and entertains and lingers. Why did this book grab me at once? Have you ever opened a book at midnight because the world outside felt suddenly less interesting than the danger on the page? That was me with Press 9 for a Crime . As someone who reads a lot of thrillers, believable stakes, and characters I care about. Jha gives me both within the first ten pages. The opening scenes place you in a cramped East Delhi neighbourhood and you instantly feel the hum of small-town hopes: the son who promises escape through a “job in Bangkok”, the ledger of family debts, the refrigerator light in a kitchen where dreams are rationed. Jha’s background in journa...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...
