  • Gourmand Geets : Secret Garden

    I heard about this restaurant from one of my first blogger friends  (somebody with whom I have still not been out for lunch/dinner, even after being in this city for a year!). A charming restaurant that serves French cuisine, a stone’s throw from the Alliance Française de Bangalore.  How could…

  • Rendez-vous with Pollock and Basquiat

    Jackson Pollock (2000) directed by Ed Harris The first film I saw during Desi Pardesi at the NGMA, Pollock was a film I wanted to see for several reasons. Till last year I knew nothing about Pollock, except that he featured on a tee-shirt I’d bought in France with the…

  • Gourmand Geets : Coconut Grove

    A hot and sultry Sunday afternoon found me at Coconut Grove on Church Street, looking for some relief from the unrelenting sun. My friend and I entered a little timorously, not sure whether to go up or head towards the ground floor section on the right. The first floor looked…

  • Gourmand Geets : Cafe Thulp

    I used to be a thin, scrawny girl who didn’t care much about food and found it difficult to finish meals at restaurants. Somewhere along the meandering path of my life, I seem to have become a foodie. I’m still not a voracious eater, nor do I consume copious amounts…
