Oye! Amritsar

January 12th, 2009 3 comments

This is the first time in Bangalore that I really loved the food at a restaurant, that’s Oye! Amritsar on the roof of Ruby Tuesday building at Church Street near Brigade Road. It was the authentic Punjabi Food with that typical taste and presentation. I loved the Dhaba look and the various shops inside which all had a common menu.


Kale Chane ka Shorba (Soup) was the dish I liked the most and I would recommend everybody to taste it once.

They have the lunch buffet as well, thinking of taking everybody to this place one day for lunch at least.

FM Radio Stations in India

November 5th, 2006 1 comment

I always thought, only AIR and a few private music broadcasting companies own the public radio channels in India but after reading this

http://www.asiawaves.net/india-fm-radio.htm

There are 11 FM Radio Stations in Bangalore and 12 in Delhi, can anybody believe that?

No Quota… No Quota…

May 22nd, 2006 25 comments

Today I saw finance Minister P. Chidambaram on TV saying the reservation that is already applied at various sectors has revamped southern states of India in a great way over last 45 years. Did he count how many DESERVING aspirants’ aspiration is being sabotaged every year? At least I don’t think so. What I believe is everybody in present government is blind and can not decipher what’s really going on. Why there are thousands of students, professionals, workers, homemakers, children, senior citizens are on the road these days protesting against the quota policy. This dirty politics is overshadowing the great Indian economical growth which is on it’s way. Now the reasons of Indian brain drain are quite obvious to understand. The controversial reservation policy is going to eat India’s best talent.
