Ramadan or not, the galis of Jama Masjid in purani Delhi are throbbing with food joints throughout the year! Of course, during Ramadan, the scale gets multiplied many times over… Much like the Mohammaded Ali road of Mumbai (Read: Fasting and Feasting at Bohril Mohalla, Mumbai) and Frazer Town in […]
For years, we had only heard about Andhra Bhavan, never been it – me, despite living in Delhi-Gurgaon for almost 4 years a decade ago, and Jayanta, all his growing up years!!! Somehow, the ‘plan’ had never materialised. And we left NCR a decade ago, ignorant of how good or […]
