A Cafe in the Heart of Delhi Metro

Most of us who travel by Delhi metro know that our food craving stop-bys are either WH Smith, Mcdonalds and few very badly made momos and potato puffs outlets. Few people know that right under the nose of Delhi Metro Blue line, sits a cafe so quiet and warm that I could very well call it The Café of Winter Afternoons, but it has a better name – Drool Fresh Bake House & Café. Drools smells heavily of cakes, cheese and garlic…so much so that I could literally feed myself on just the aroma.

Our first visit was late in the night so we couldn’t place a main course order as the chefs were perhaps winding up the kitchen. We ordered one Veg. Arrabiata Pasta and Drools Pepper Corn Cheese Rolls. My taste-buds danced a happy dance as the pasta settled in my mouth. It was a freshly baked one, and the aromas were enticing to the senses. The corn cheese roll, very aptly charges for Rs. 200, was as inviting to the eye as to the mouth. I’m sure they have much more to the menu that needs to be discovered. So if you are in or near Dwarka, you may just want to stop at Sector 13 Metro Station, and enter the aroma of breads, cheese and cake. They have both an indoor & outdoor setting, so if you are a hukka and hard drink person, you may sit outdoors and see the busy life pass by you in vehicles and buses. Or better yet, grab a corner seat indoors and watch people from all walks of life board and deboard from the heart of city - Delhi Metro. You would be amazed to see so many human stories around.

Finding God

I have traveled through the city, Halfway and through; Praised the music, liked a places few. I enjoyed the weather, hated it too, Relived certain memories, cursed one or two. I did search for peace, searched for love, I searched for God, but it was tough. He hides, and I seek, He whispers and I shriek; He goes and I follow, He smiles when I’m hollow; He runs and I chase, As if an eternal race… I have NEVER got his way, neither yester nor today! So let’s do one thing now, I know not how true, You be my God for me, And I will be for you…

Office Office

As I enter the boundaries of my office, and see people at their desks, I wonder. What is it? Some flat faces, some heavy expressions- somewhere it is an enlightened world of laughter, while the next neighbor carries a world of anxiety with him. Few love stories that go along with work, fleeting eye contacts and that momentary bliss! What is it? Greeted with smiles and eyes delighting, on the other side of the table is back-biting and spiting. Why are we often misinterpreted, and that which should to be told, is often dreaded? Conspiracies fly from desk to desk, and emotions are buried in drawers and chests. What is it? Some bright looks, some down moods; some opportunities, some threats, we talk about money, ledgers and debts…Why emotions make no sense, why sentiments lie on other side of the fence? Talking Enthusiasts win over hearts, and the Quiets keep thinking, “How do I begin, How to start?” What is it? Sharing meals at lunch table and eating from their plates, with people...

The Quiet Has No Place

This is the world of fun, laughter and gaiety. If you don't joke, don't laugh with others, at others, the world will ignore you to the extent of negating your presence. So whether or not you are a reserved person, for being included in "the group of maximum", you have to talk, dress, walk and speak with them in the way they want. You will have to "be" them- this is my recent observation of a way of living. But I still remain the same- quiet, reserved, not-so-social with people whom I'm not close to. I don't disclose my secrets to them because I don't want to...I don't talk much with them because I don't find it comfortable- life is to express and not to impress others. So if according to my recent observation, the quiet has no place, I'm happy in my no-man's-land.
