Milind as I first saw him:

I had joined BHS from Bombay(nay not mumbai) via Vidya Kunj. Not wearing a uniform on the first day but nonetheless extremely respectably attired in short pants white shirt tucked in. Classes had just begun & in walks a boy - blue shorts with white shirt, buttons having lost their fight with the holes; black belt cinched tight enough for the shorts to go tokyo & the shirt london with the half way tie going back to russia. Grubby shoes with socks thru which a tinge of white was visible, hair flying across the country like a dust cropper plane AND a peti under his left arm dragging the shirt out of the shorts - May I come in Mam - Contractor says - Put your bag & stand outside - The day for Milind Nene had begun - His crush eminently visible on his face & thru the various nudges amongst the young girls & boys, he does so & requests - Can I take my book & listen from outside - Gales of laughter follow this - YES - merrily our man steps outside - this class was probably the last or 2nd last on the right side when you face the canteen - the next 25 odd minutes was my induction into how popular our man was with teachers, students,peons & the little birds, butterflies etc moving around.

On a quick trip to Baroda, decided to try out Ginger Hotel.

We reached Baroda in the evening around 6.30 pm. The check in was smooth. The Parking space was reasonable in the basement. Went up to the room. The AC was bad. The maintenance came by, the reception came by all with different version that did not seem to jell somehow. Read the rest of this entry »

One of my all time favorites. Reach there by 7 pm. Wander around, drink their smoky chaas or jal jira. Look at the mehndi artiste, garba etc. And then sit down for a Meal that never ends, as also does not allow you to get up till you are stuffed with, variety of vegetables, roti(phulka); bajra roti; khichdi farsan & finally sweet to top it up.

The Great Bhagwati is truly great in terms of its variety; consistency & quality of food - from snacks to a complete meal. What is surprising that they are able to maintain the quality at places where they undertake catering also.

They have a VFM afternoon Buffet on sundays, whilst the a la carte is pretty good to excellent. One of the few restaurants that got a Margarita right! three times I have been there. Some of the unique deserts were also pretty good. Been there more than thrice trying it out with buffet, afternoons, evenings & found the food & service consistently good. Remains open till 1 am
