Random Musings: Golf at Mercara Downs
http://saurjyesh.blogspot.com/2009/04/golf-at-mercara-downs.html
Tuesday, April 7, 2009. Golf at Mercara Downs. Last month I traveled to Coorg. For the uninformed, this is a region in Karnataka that is famous for its coffee plantations and gentle hill stations. We stayed at a place called Madikeri. Around a km from our resort was a Golf course called Mercara greens. It claims to be one of the oldest golf courses in South India. Looking at the Club house it seemed one of the smallest and youngest as it was not even 10 years vintage. More on that in some time.

Tuesday, January 15, 2008. 2008 and Nursery Admissions. The New Year has come in and it is already 15 days old and life is back to its usual humdrum existence of work, family and a little bit golf. The only new part of this year is the Nursery Admission process in Delhi. This year we are also amongst the many who are trying and praying that their progeny get into a 'good' school. And Amen to that. PS : My sons learning from TZP - Hostels are not good and if you sent me there ergo you dont love me.

Monday, July 27, 2009. First rains in Delhi. Yesterday it poured for the first time in the monsoon. This was the real McCoy and not the usual Delhi 'lets dirty the car' rain but the one where you cant see anything in front and the wipers go nuts trying to work against the water pressure. Well it was a good time spent on the roads of Delhi trying to find the best route home. Traffic details on the radio were of no use as they kept singing songs of jam all over and how it has finally rained. This morning t...

Kormic: My Humble House
http://kormicdelhi.blogspot.com/2009/12/my-humble-house.html
Wednesday, December 16, 2009. ITC Maurya, Diplomatic Enclave, Sardar Patel Margh, New Delhi. Open for dinner only 7pm - 11.45pm daily. In the nakedly brash, aspirational, eternally grasping and materialistic city that is New Delhi, one way to get people to take notice is to draw attention to your humility. I initially thought that to be the MO behind the naming of one of the. Hotel's restaurants. However it turns out that. World Gourmet Summit Awards of Excellence. I am, of course, making these names up,...

Friday, July 13, 2007. Blueline Menace and the road sense of Delhi. Nowadays every day the newspapers are full of news of how Bluelines drive rashly and how they dont obey the traffic rules etc and it seems as if just by removing these buses heaven will descend on the Delhi roads. I have some strong views on the same. Blaming the Blueline buses and their drivers is fine if we can hold a hand on our heart and say that we all obey traffic rules. No sir, they are for lesser mortals. Tell me honestly how man...

Monday, August 27, 2007. I am a foodie, it is an honest confession. Unfortunately, for me, I am not Kunal Vijaykar that I travel the length and breadth of India and have food all over but I am still a foodie. It also helps that I am blessed with a constitution that doesnt allow me to get seriously fat. I mean I have a paunch but thats it. Mom made the best food possible but her signature dish was the dessert. And the payesh she made was something that she was justly famous for. It was just the ri...The r...

Kormic: Recipe: Baingan Bharta
http://kormicdelhi.blogspot.com/2009/11/recipe-baingan-bharta.html
Tuesday, November 17, 2009. Apparently, India has around. 2,500 different kinds of eggplants. Or brinjals, or aubergines, or whatever you choose to call them. I used to be impressed by the three or four different kinds on offer at my local sabzi-wallah cart before I read that. Now, not so much. Where are the other 2,496? The secret, said the beaming wife/cook, when called out to receive plaudits, was to scorch the eggplants over a gas flame to give them their unique smoky flavour. 1 tsp cumin seeds.
