OMO Cafe - Soul food in earthy setting

OMO at Galleria Market in Gurgaon  with an earthy and minimalist décor serves some unique vegetarian fare with interesting ingredients sourced from various parts of India. Would definitely recommend the coffee ☕ here beans for which have been sourced from Nagaland. The service is quite good with the staff patiently explaining to you the food and its ingredients in case like me, you do not get an idea about what to order.

Bright Hospitality, founded by Rajan Sethi is famous for its non vegetarian fare. Across their brands, from the now closed California Boulevard, AM PM Cafe and Bar, Ikk Punjab and GT Road they have served great meat dishes (the veg is good at their outlets but meats are legendary). I was therefore surprised to hear that Rajan and his wife Deepika had now worked up a new eatery dedicated to quality vegetarian food. My curiosity led me to this beautiful OMO Cafe for dinner with family. 



The coffee beans 🫘 are from Nagaland and they brew some good and strong coffee. 

The outlet is located at DLF Galleria in DLF Phase 4 Gurgaon, vertically opposite to AMPM Cafe, which belongs to the same promoter family. I have heard a lot about curated menus for Sunday brunches at OMO which they plan by sourcing unique and fresh ingredients for their patrons. The ambience here is minimalist with lots of wood and greenery around. The kitchen and the cafe are all open, giving the patrons a sneak tease or their food being prepared. 

The ingredients and the food is not complex but the terms can be New to many folks like me. Here the staff was really helpful including Deepa and Hritanshu who not helped patiently explain the dishes but also helped with wise choices of food for the table.

Desserts

We wanted to give the Tiramisu a try, given that their coffee tasted so good and the Ngarum Tiramisu promised some dark roast coffee in it. But it was not available and instead we tried the 'A true cheesecake', which was fantastic with a slight hint of olive oil in its base.




I would recommend this place as a great hangout for conversations. The ambience and food just encourages conversation and this is one of the eateries where you can sit for hours and just talk or eat in peace. 

Price for two people - Rs 2,000
Timings - 12 noon – 12 am

What if you could undo every regret? An uncomfortable conversation with The Midnight Library

Have you ever replayed your life at night, wondering how things might have turned out differently? The Midnight Library by Matt Haig asks you to sit with that question. Through Nora Seed’s quiet despair and imagined alternatives, the novel explores regret, possibility, depression, and the fragile hope that living at all might be enough. Have you ever wondered if one different choice could have changed everything? You probably have. Most people do. Usually at night. Usually when the world goes quiet and your mind decides to reopen old files you never asked it to keep. The job you did not take. The person you loved too late or too briefly. The version of yourself that felt possible once. You tell yourself that if you had chosen differently, life would feel fuller, cleaner, less heavy. The Midnight Library begins exactly there, in that familiar ache. Not with drama, but with exhaustion. Not with chaos, but with a woman who feels she has quietly failed at everything that mattered.

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...

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 ...
