We have got overwhelming response from the industry and now looks like India is really ready to Boo The Taboo.”
Speaking About the event Amit Pandey - Media Head and Associate Partner, India Intimate Fashion Week said “The remarkable success of the first edition of the intimate fashion week shows that India is ready to embrace this category and boo the taboo as was our intent with this landmark initiative. We are happy to have pioneered in this space and are sure that the event will only get bigger and better year on year.”
The first edition of India Intimate Fashion Week was kickstarted by Sanghai based Fashion Designer of Indian Origin, Keith Jackson who showcased his intimate wear and evening / cocktail gown designs collection under his brand ‘La Joli’.

Paper Boat presents My First Train Ride!
Carefully listening to every announcement. Clapping when our bogey pulled in. "Helping" Papa heft big suitcases. The hoot and shudder of the engine. The song of the tracks. The lull of the rhythm.
The wind in our hair. Oh, the wind in our hair.
It occurred to us at Paper Boat that we've never had the opportunity to say thank you to the unsung heroes who first stirred the ache of wanderlust in us. In a first homage of its kind, we at Paper Boat are celebrating that great carrier of our fondest memories: the Indian Railways.
Come, join our train-ride as we thank TTE uncle, and engine driver sir, and pantry bhaiyya, and station master-ji -- and of course, the long ribbon of blue, red, or green that huffed and puffed us to unforgettable summers in the far, far reaches of our country, and our imaginations.
Here's saluting the greatest, oldest, and most majestic institution to teach us that the thrill of travel is in the journey itself.
We hope you enjoy this journey, one more time: http://bit.ly/2mqtfeG
A Bar Called Life Opens in Juhu
A Bar Called Life, a sprawling space serving innovative cocktails and modern Indian cuisine, opens in Juhu on March 11, 2017.
This latest entrant to Juhu’s nightlife scene features finger foods and fun cocktails with an element of nostalgia. The 200-cover space offers a mix of indoor as well as al fresco seating options. The bar offers competitively-priced alcoholic beverages, with prices starting as low as Rs. 50 per drink each evening at 6:00 p.m., and rising every hour, on the hour, until 11 pm. Each drink features Indian elements, cleverly interwoven into either the presentation or the flavor.
The food menu, conceptualized by Executive Chef Amninder Sandhu, offers a range of wholesome, hearty finger foods, perfect for snacking on while enjoying the extensive cocktail menu. Chef has been inspired by ‘lost recipes,’ drawing on techniques and preparation methods passed down through generations. A selection of vegetarian and non-vegetarian items, featuring seasonal ingredients, will keep diners satiated. Presentation is key also for the food; every dish is a visual delight, appealing to each diner’s sense of fun and whimsy.
Chef Sandhu is the proud recipient of the ‘Best Lady Chef’ award at the National Tourism Awards 2014-15. She was most recently Chef-in-charge at Taj Lands End, Mumbai. Her valuable years spent at the hotel’s popular Masala Bay restaurant resulted in learnings that allow her to revive authentic, intense and subtle flavours in every dish she prepares. Chef Sandhu’s cooking style reflects a deep understanding of regional Indian influences, which are unified in her recipes and presentation alike.
Designed to cater to a young, excitement-seeking crowd, A Bar Called Life undergoes a dramatic transformation, after dark. The buzzy, laid-back vibe that guests can enjoy from 6:00 p.m. onwards every evening will turn into a high-energy bar from 11:00 p.m. onwards, complete with unparalleled elements designed to make each night memorable.
A Bar Called Life is the third establishment launched by Aallia Hospitality Pvt. Ltd., an organization catering to the city’s discerning patrons through a series of stylish bars and restaurants with thoughtful, well-curated F&B and late-night offerings.

GRAND MOOKAMBIKA -#Mangalorean #Foodfestival, NAVI MUMBAI
Mangalorean Cuisine (Tulu: ಕುಡ್ಲದ ವನಸ್) is a collective name given to the cuisine of Tulunadu which comprises cuisines like Udupi as well as cuisine of other Mangalorean communities like that of the Bunts, Mogaveeras, Billavas, Rajapur Saraswat Brahmins, Goud Saraswat Brahmins, Mangalorean Catholics and the Bearys.
Mangalorean cuisine is largely influenced by the South Indian cuisine, with several cuisines being unique to the diverse communities of the region. Coconut and curry leaves are common ingredients to most Mangalorean curry, as are ginger, garlic and chili. Mangalorean Fish Curry is popular dish in Karnataka. Well-known Tuluva dishes include Neer Dosa,Masala Dosa,"Chicken Ghee Roast","Chicken Sukka",Kori Rotti (dry rice flakes dipped in gravy), Bangude Pulimunchi (spicy sour silver-grey mackerels), Beeja-Manoli Upkari, Neer dosa (lacy rice-crêpes), Boothai Gasi, Kadubu, and Patrode. The Konkani community's specialities include Daali thoy, bibbe-upkari (cashew based), val val, avnas ambe sasam, Kadgi chakko, paagila podi, and chane gashi. Vegetarian cuisine in Mangalore, also known as Udupi cuisine, is known and liked throughout the state and region. Since Mangalore is a coastal town, fish forms the staple diet of most people
