While reading Khaled Hosseini's Kite Runner - w.r.t the character the Charlie - I poem it out.
I am no Gorgon, I am no Saint.
But i remian a human - just like another name.
Dont pull in the caste - dont pull in the creed.
Dont pull in the racial discrimination that makes me weep.
Why am i not the one to be by your side and hold your hand.
Why cant i play and eat the same way you do - With just a right hand.
You feel you are above and feel great,
I too have been made by the same hands in fate.
I truckle, cause i am expected to. I serve and you and them and all.
I look up and hear - Gone are such days. They are antediluvian, but alas - You just realized i am human.
Contributions From My DearAnkita Bordia:
"But one hundred years later, he still is not free. One hundred years later, he is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, he lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, he is still languished in the corners ... Read Moreof society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition." - Martin Luther King

Food for Thought - Location:Bangalore
This blog is dedicated to my addiction - Food. This post shall inform of various places i go to eat at and my observations about the same :)
Starting with my yesterday's dinner at Golkonda Chimney.
Golkonda Chimney: 42/2 , Kundanahalli Gate White Field
This place is heaven for the Non - Veggies. But for the veggies, u might as well just do away with the soups and starters. Even the normal Kadhai Paneer was a disaster. The Paneer pieces were not even anything close to soft.
Apparently, The Rolls, here are very famous. Generally grabbed for a lunch/Quick bite by people working in the IT Parks in the vicinity. It cost us 1200+ for a sumptuous meal for 5.
Talking about Bad Paneer - I shall introduce the best place for Panner i've been so far.
Queen's : 7, Shrungar Complex, Church Street.
Keep your eyes open cause this dimly lit place can be easily missed. Its diagonally opposite to Oye Amritsar, on the same road as Blossom Book store. A budget rest with just splendid food and decent interiors and no no restrooms et al. Also, they do not serve soups and their masala papad is fiery :)
I have been to this place a couple of times and never disappointed. Each time i visit, i feel the food tastes Yummy ! The Paneer is a MUST MUST here. Make sure you check the time to land into this rest, 7 - 7:30 pm is ideal if u dont wanna wait.
It can cost anywhere between 300 - 350 for a veg meal for 2.
The Yum Chinese :)
Though I absolutely Hate the authentic Chinese Food, I am a of the Indianized Chinese.
My trials include : Beijing Bites, China Perl, Mainland China, etc.
Of Which the Winner issss :
China Perl: Koramangala
Apparently, that same street has some 3 - 4 Chinese rest.
They have excellent starters like the Crispy veggies and the Potatoe something.
Its ambience is decent too. I love the hangings at the entrance - The Red ones.
An avg veg meal for 2 can cost between 500 - 700 :)
