My Take on: German Bakery

One fine day, I made some efforts and finally visited this place.                       The German Bakery!! Here we go, with my take on: German Bakery this week. Location:  292, Road No. 1, North Main Road, Ragvilas Society, Koregaon Park, Pune. This is one of the most famous place for hangout in Pune. I have seen people being crazy about it. Hence I decided to visit this place, put in some efforts and was on my way. And when I say "some efforts" I actually mean a hell lot of efforts. I had to kick my laziness on a Sunday evening when i was completely exhausted after finishing all the household chores that we push and pile for weekends. This was my very first visit and as i entered this place, it reminded me of a similar place from my hometown. The place is beautiful, its like a house turned into a restaurant, with tables and park benches arranged around the building. They also have indoor seating...

My Take on: Prem's

Howdy people!? I'm in a cheerful mood today... Think my Zumba class charged me.. :P (giggle) So today I'm going to share my experience with one of the famous restaurant in Pune --Prem's. Ever since I moved to Pune I have been longing for good Punjabi food. And I have been hearing a lot about this place: Prem's Restaurant: 28/2, Opp. Lane 3, North Main Road, Koregaon Park, Pune. I got to visit this place last weekend. It was a rainy evening and I went there for dinner with a couple of friends. As usual before going there I did little R&D about the place and the menu. I was ready with my order before reaching there. The place has outdoor seating. The tables are arranged under a shed alongside the bar. the tables are candle-lit. Dim lights, raining, slight cold and outdoor dinner. Amazing. The ambiance is good. And now comes the food. We ordered few starters both veg and non veg, and the main course. Our order was: Starters; Veg Spring rolls: Th...

Whats with Maharashtra's Punjabi dhabas and butter chicken?

Ever since I moved to Pune I have been longing for good Punjabi food. And trust me I have not yet found a place which can quench my desire. There are many places I have tried, but they are all okay but not what is expected and no where near actual Punjabi taste. And the last time when I ate good butter chicken was when i went home, and the first thing i did was rush to Pal's Dhaba directly from the airport. Now you can imagine my love for it. All these years i couldn't understand one thing, whats this connection of Maharashtra with sweet butter chicken?? The first time when I ordered butter chicken here, I returned it and said its not butter chicken, you have mistakenly served me the wrong dish. :/ I grew up eating butter chicken (stop guessing my weight...!!). For me butter chicken is equivalent to God's special gift to mankind. Those delicate, tender pieces in rich creamy gravy, a perfect blend of spices, neither too spicy, nor bland. Creamy silky rose gold curry ,...

Lesson learnt: never be too good

I was having a good day until i came home. My day was going great, woke up late, got ready really fast, cooked half fried eggs, threw them in the tiffin , and baaaam!!!... I was out of the door. All set for a perfect day at office. Dashed through the traffic in mesmerizing drizzle (oh m in love with it). And i reached office. The day went well met all deadlines no pending work, perfect end of the week. Came home. Rushed for my Zumba class, Abs day.. struggled for max of the time but it was fun. And now that unwanted moment arrived, i connected my wifi and saw these messages on our flatmates group. 'm on fine and this time with anger. the message read "I'll be paying only 4k as rent as per bla bla f##@ing mah life mah rules calculations.. " Oh hello! come again.!!! The story goes this way, we are 3 people sharing a 3 bhk flat. One of the flatmates is leaving and we agreed to share equal portions of rent rather than our usual %age of share (based on the size ...

RJ The Techie

Hello Readers, I have separated this section to post purely technical stuff. Here I'll post articles related to the technologies i work on. Oh, Did I mention I am a software engineer?? No??!!! Ooops... Well, yes, I am a Software Engineer working with one of the leading MNC's. Its been two years and I have been lucky enough to get exposed to the niche technologies in the market. I got trained in BIG DATA. Then started working in Business Intelligence on Data Visualization tools like Qlikview and Tableau. My work is basically creating reports for the clients. Reports are in the form of dashboards, that have pictorial representations of the results derived from the data. Its like you get the data, you understand it. Then infer different business KPIs from that data and represent it pictorially. The dashboards are interactive and user friendly. The results on the dashboards can be changed with a few clicks here and there. The result set can be drilled-down, rolled-up, wid...
