Li meet brunch, brunch meet Li

Durand and I introduced Li to our weekly ritual. While we mix up the venue, brunch is a Sunday past time, involving plates of food and wine or martinis (Piazzo).

This week we went to a new one, West View, at the Sheraton. It was up on the roof and what a view. Slightly scary, because you could really see the smog, but nice to be able to look out over a large green area and other parts of Delhi.


The help yourself part was small: cheese, cold cuts, olives, salads. Then came the ordering of 4 courses. I had beet gazpacho, some marinated vege thing, chili prawns, and then shared tiramisu and chocolate mousse with Li for dessert. Oh and lots of champagne, plus a glass of white wine for kicks. The red was bad.






After we headed to the 'Foot Care' massage center for Shiatsu. The massages are decent. Deep, but almost pecking in nature because not enough time is spent. If they slowed down, I'd be very happy. We checked went looking for 'Gandhi' the movie, but they didn't have it, so we got 'Water' instead.

We discovered a chic-ish restaurant next door and got a drink to check it out. The inside was nice, but facing the video provided views of Sbarro, Ruby Tuesdays and some other US restaurant.

On the way home, Durand suggested a night cap, so we headed to the Crowne Plaza, Today Gurgaon for Guiness. Li was amazed at the lifestyle. Note, the last 2 stops aren't typical.

Mumbai: Sasson docks and colonial architecture

One of my favorite parts of Mumbai are the Gothic Victorian style buildings that abound the southern part. The Lonely Planet has a walking tour, which we followed part of and it can be combined with a trip to Sasson docks, a bustling fishing port, and Marine drive. To finish off, climb up the intercontinental hotel for a view of Marine drive at night when the Queen's necklace is all lit up. Southern part of Marine drive  There was so much happening at the Sassoon docks: boats being loaded with ice or unloaded of fish, fish being sorted, haircuts, games, children coming from school, and ice being crushed. It was cool to be in the midst of the hustle and bustle. Ice being crushed Loading ice onto the fishing boats Taking a pause from loading ice onto the boat Getting a haircut on the docks Fixing the fishing nets Squid being tossed off the boat Lady strikes a pose Lunch time on the fishing boat Love the brightly colored trucks ...

Khajuraho: titilating tantric temples

While the Khajuraho temples are known for erotic sculpture, the sculptures depicting sexual positions represent only about 10% of all sculpture. Also, from what I can tell they aren't tantric in the pure sense of ancient tantrik scripture, but I didn't want to give up of the title. At the end of the day, the erotic sculptures to be the main draw as it's not something you find everyday and it's fascinating to see what was being produced over 1000 years ago in India as compared to many other parts of the world. T here were giggles erupting from the Korean women and I was wondering what their guide was telling them. A security guard was prompting a guy to stand brazenly in front of the upside-down pose. A dashing group in bright saris and white pajama floating through the temples. These were the sights in a day spent visiting the temples in Khajuraho. Get there There is a night train from Delhi leaving at 20.20 and arriving at 6.30 that runs 3 times per week. We w...

Bijapur: Islamic architecture and friendly folk

It is well worth the effort to visit Bijapur (aka Vijaypura) to see the huge buildings left from the Adil Shah era (1489-1686). Get in We came from Hampi on the bus. Took a rickshaw from Hampi to Hospet for Rs. 80 and there was a bus leaving in 10 minutes at 13.00 so we were in luck. The trip took 5 hours and wasn't too packed except for a 30 minute period where a 10 year old sat ony lap while I chatted with him mom and aunties. Bus station enroute The sisters and 10 year old who wasn't so sure about sitting on my knees Fellow bus passengers Sleep and eat We stayed at the Rajdhani lodge which is directly north and walking distance to the bus station for Rs. 400 (no shower and noisy). We went out in search of good and started with a beer at a watering hole just south of the Bara Karman where we chatted with a group of tile workers. They were surprised to see a woman drinking and said their wives didn't drink because they were Muslim. I chided them...
