What's New at Royalasthan?

If you reside in Southern part of Chennai, you might have had a chance to visit Royalasthan. Till recently, they had both veg & non-veg cuisine but now have revamped it to pure veg cuisine.This place is close to AVM Rajeswari wedding hall. As the menu is revamped, I wanted to check it as to how it is. Hence I decided to visit the place along with my friends who are foodies themselves. Now, I am going to talk about the Interior/Ambiance/Service : The interior is very intricately decorated & each and every inch makes you feel that you’re in Rajasthan. With some classical Hindi song playing in the background, you get the feel that you’re in an authentic Rajasthani Restaurant. Staffs are helpful. They are ever smiling & serve you well. Lighting and the coloring of the wall corresponds with the theme. It can accommodate around 50 at a time and they have ample parking space as well. Created a collage since number of pics are really huge :-) ...

Book Review - The Last Yogi

Title - The Last Yogi Author - Pritesh Bhosale Genre - Fiction / Fantasy Publisher - WorditCDE ISBN - 978-9388081375 The Last Yogi is a dream come true for the author since he had this in his mind from 2010 and after few years of struggle, he finally got it published in paperback form. The gist of the story is simple but the way it was portrayed, makes it an interesting read. This has some resemblance of a Hollywood movie but having said that, this is set in the Indian sub-continent and would surely get the attention of fantasy lovers. The protagonist of the story, The Last Yogi is Arpit which translates to "Offering to GOD". He has to leave his parents when he was 8 due to a promise made by his parents to Swami Brahmananda. What was the promise all about? The story is set to be happening during the period of Kali Yug where in Kali poisons the mind of King Kalyavana. When every hope seems to have been lost, The Last Yogi emerges. Who is Arpit...

Book Review – Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare

Title – Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Author – Dr. Parag Mahajan Genre – Non-fiction Publisher – Parag Suresh Mahajan ISBN – 978-9353115579 Artificial Intelligence is here to stay. It is going to change the way the world works and thinks and medicine field is not going to be an exception to this norm. Recently, I stumbled upon this book named ‘Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare’ by Parag Mahajan. I took time to finish reading it, as I take time to grasp technical stuff. But personally putting, this book took me to a new venture of tech revolution. Topic by topic, the author, who himself is a MD, covered what all is happening in the field of AI with reference to AI and other technologies like Robotic Automation. I really liked the fear he managed to portray in the book, as many think that AI will wipe out the potential career of doctors and other medical staff. There are some incorrigible myths surrounding the entry of AI in healthcare. But the positive ...

Book Review – Truth & Dare – The Modi Dynamic

Title – Truth & Dare – The Modi Dynamic Author – Sanju Verma Genre – Non-fiction Publisher – Blue Rose Publishers ISBN – 978-93-5347-304-4 How many of you agree that India is really changing under the Modi-led government? Many agree, many doubt or get incited for debate! Well, the fact is that our country is indeed changing under the leadership of Shri Narendra Modi, who has been elected PM twice, back to back. To support my point, I would like to discuss this book, Truth & Dare – The Modi Dynamic, of Ms. Sanju Verma. She herself is a famous BJP spokesperson, and you can often find her on TV channels. Coming to the book, it basically is bifurcated into two sections, the first one discusses about Modinomics, and second one focuses on the genius of Amit Shah’s in making BJP as the best and leading political party in India. Modinomics has become a generic idea and people from across the world have begun recognizing it for various development models. To g...

Kerala Food Festival at Regenta Central Deccan

If you are a foodie and staying in or visiting Chennai, you wouldn't want to miss the Kerala Food Festival which is happening in Regenta Central Deccan. The festival has commenced today and will go on until 30th June. It is one among the two 3 Star Rated Restaurant in Chennai which offers pure vegetarian menu. They are a part of Royal Orchid Hotels which operates close to 50 properties across India. Entrance itself was decorated really well which gave the feel of what we could expect. My expectations did not go in vain. The theme had a complete make over making us to feel as if we are entering a restaurant in Kerala(this isn't an exaggeration). The food stations were really good. They were all stocked up and were ready to serve the customers. The items were many. Since there were many, I decided to taste all of them. Hence, I became a miser by taking just 1 spoon from each of the item. Trust me, those were good enough to fill my tum...

Book Review - A Story And The Man

Title - A Story And The Man Author - Harsh Vardhan Dutta Genre - Fiction Publisher - Notion Press ISBN - 978-1-64587-258-0 This is a story of revelations which would take you back to your schooling days. The beauty of the book lies in the character of Protagonist, who remains a mystery from the beginning till the end. When I say it, there is a strong reason behind it which you wouldn't know until you read the book yourself. It all begins with the protagonist working in a private company owned by one Mr Lalaji who was a shrewd businessman. Despite of having 200 staffs, he never had HR department in his company and all the appraisals and pay hike were decided solely by him. Corporate culture has been vividly captured in this story without any exaggeration. Since I myself had worked in an MNC Corporate for almost 8 years, I can certainly vouch the authenticity of the events mentioned in this book.  There were certain peculiar characters like Doctor Sa'ab which we...

Book Review - A Man From Mandu

Title - A Man From Mandu Author - Manoj V Jain Genre - Fiction Publisher - Notion Press ISBN - 978-1-64587-162-0 Those who have read Manoj V Jain's other books like The BNO(Sex,Life and Hookah) or The THC(Under a Gibbous Moon) or Balraj, Ramona, Dystopia would know for sure that he never fails to enthrall the readers through his varied approach to a story line/subject. He is one among the few who has always given a different subject rather than sticking on to a single genre. His writing style is lucid and he approaches the story in a different angle making the readers to ponder. A Man From Mandu is no exception. The book is unique because, even in the main story, there are few short stories as well. Each of these short story has got a message in itself which makes it stand apart from others. Moreover all these short stories are different from each other in terms of concept and approach. These would also make it a perfect bed time stories for kids. The story is ab...

The formation wasn't a cake walk and the journey it has undertaken till date has been captured vividly in this book. Usually history is boring as it is all about the real facts that has happened over a period of time but at the same time, if it is presented in an interesting way, like a story, no one would want to miss reading those. Dilip has done an excellent job in bringing out most of the facts and figures in an interesting format.  The book is divided into 16 chapters namely: 1. Collective Security 2.
