The Yellow Chilli...

Come Sunday and SIMSRites search for a new place to try out to eat.. Today we went to Sanjeev Kapoor's, "The Yellow Chilli" at HN (Hiranandani). It is located admist many other restaurants and coffee shops but what makes it apart from other restaurant is the name Sanjeev Kapoor..

Coming to the main point which is Menu.. Menu carries nothing extra ordinary items.. And the way menu is made is also simple and there is nothing extravagant about it..

Food: Food of the restaurant without any second thoughts is next to awesome.. They have lived upto the name of Sanjeev Kapoor and have retained the core competence ;)

Price: All drinks and foods are reasonably priced.. The prices are just like any other normal restaurant and is not heavy on pocket too seeing the brand name.

Service: Since I am very particular about service in restaurant and point out mistakes by waiters the same happened here.. I didnt find the service of the restaurant too good.. The waiter made mistakes which were truly avoidable..

Over all, Yellow Chilli is warm and cozy one with very nice seating.. Although the restaurant space is less and it was bit noisy but food at the end compensated for everything :)

At the end, if you really want to try good food try Yellow Chill :)

Another Day..

Another day
Without your smile
Another day just passes by

But now I know
How much it means
For you to stay
Right here with me

I wanna be there for you
Sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you..

The making of Chocolate Pastries

Whenever I come back from home, I usually get Chocolate Cake baked by me from home. This time I have tried something different. I have made chocolate balls and garnished them with raisins, raisins and almonds.

Way back into Love..

I have just finished watching movie "Music and Lyrics" and its a must watch movie! One song which I loved in the movie... Lyrics goes like this and yeah it is dedicated to someone :)

I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh

I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere

I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night

I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation

All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me to start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

It's Friendship Day after all!!!

Since I was in school, I have been seeing the celebrations of friendship day. Friendship band and nice tiny gifts flooding the whole market. People form groups and they generally hang out together and celebrate the day together. Well, that's generally how one celebrates friendship day.

Friends are treasures for lifetime but do we need to celebrate it. Anyday when we all go out together, party whole night is friendship day for me. I never understood why we need such a day until I got a call my best friend at night.

The call wasn't to wish "Friendship Day" but was full of talks where you need your friend to be with you, listening to you, supporting you. When we finished talking, we said to each other that's what friendship day is all about.. Being with your friend, whom you know will stick to you in your ups and downs and talking with him who understands you and supports you.

Dinners, celebrations, party all does not matter, what matters is the touch, which the call gave me for the day!

A Day in France!

During our 7 days long trip in Switzerland, we took a day for France. Although, we did not visit Paris, where I wanted to go and hence Europe tour plan was initiated but we went to Evian and Yvore.

Evian is on the way to Yvore while coming from Switzerland. So, our first stop was Yvore. Yvore is medieval small village which is owned by Yvore family. Yvore have been winning the prize of best village in France since 20 years!!

Yvore is nicely built and well maintained village. Footpath made of stones and pebbles... just like the one they show in fairy tales books :) Walking in Yvore felt as if I am walking in a dream village. It is decorated with red flowers on windows and the walls are of castle type. Though the village is small but its awesome..



In Yvore, there is "Garden of Five Senses". It was castle's former kitchen garden, which has been restored in a medieval style. Garden has kept its original layout, with its paths, ponds and its old fruit trees. The hornbean hedges and espaliered apple-trees of the labyrinth mark out four areas containing plants and flowers which correspond to the four senses. The fifth sense, the sense of hearing is represented by the babble of water and the singing of the birds.



After such a beautiful visual treat, we went to Evian. Evian is famous for its mineral water, which is owned by Denon Co.. The place if having natural water spring. You cannot see the water spring but there is one tap for public where people can go and refill the bottles free of cost. Bottling plant is 5km away from Evian.



At the end, we visited Casino in Evian. It was amazing.. Two floors full of slot machines.. I tried my luck and lost few Euros :P.. That marked the ending of our day in France!
