Burma Burma - CyberHub - Gurugram

Impeccable service is the impression I got after my luncheon experience at Burma Burma the other day. The staff is not only well equipped and knowledgeable to serve patrons, they are also excellent at their job. From the very top, leaders like Ashu and staff members like Vikas go that extra mile to make your dining experience better.



This place is a vegetarian's paradise with some amazing options for the veggies. I went with an open mind and was pleasantly surprised that even if no meat or chicken my meal had a variety and great taste. And the fact that they didn't offer me the traditional veggie treat of Cottage Cheese and Potatoes further enhanced my culinary experience.

The food we had

Samosa Soup - Samosa crispies in your soup makes for an excellent idea.
Raw Mango Salad - The raw mango flavor mingles with the crunchiness of the peanuts for that great salad taste. Healthy too.
Tea Leaf Salad - Highly recommended. These guys import choicest tea leaves for that extra authenticity in the flavors.
Sunflower Leaves and Crispy Wheat Flakes Salad - Baby sunflower leaves with some crispy flakes make it a great salad.



Crispy Mockmeat Steamed Buns 
Crunchy Tofu Steamed Buns
Lotus Stem Crisps - I never found lotus stem so tasty.
Tohu Mash with Parantha - Amazing dish with Tohu and well layered Paranthas.

Burma Burma Oh No KhowSuey - This is such a famous dish and I heard a lot about it before tasting it and I was not disappointed.

Black Glutinous Sticky Rice with Eyed Pea and Picked Vegetables


Desserts

Smokey Avocado  and Honey Ice Cream
Tagu Pyian (Coconut Custard, Sago & Palm Jaggery)
Chocolate Caramel Dome - Is a rose shaped chocolate dessert crafted with perfection.

Drinks we ordered
Twilight  Tea - A special tea to calm your soul and relax your body.
SeaBuckthorn Mary - I liked this mock tail drink with ample seabuckthorn flavor and some spices.
Nutella Bubble Tea - Chilled and came in a cool glass bottle.



The only thing I didn't like was the fact that they close the tea room post lunch till dinner time. I think this place should be open all day for a relaxed cup of tea or filling meals.

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...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While ...
