Lord of the drinks barrel house Sector 29 Gurgaon

Sector 29 Main Market in Gurgaon is witnessing a flurry of activity with plenty of top notch brands opening shop here.


Recently I went to Lord of the Drinks - Barrel House which has opened up shutters at the same building where Fork You Too ran shop. The first thing you notice when you enter is how huge and spacious this place is. The interiors have this wide and grand vibe to it. I simply loved how they have used skull designs in decor and crockery. The plates in their bright colors look so good and pleasant amidst a warm decor. 


This place is a great place for you if you like your drinks. They have two levels and a bar in both of them. A huge bar with a wide range of liquor options including a micro brewery which I think will start very soon. 




In terms of service, the eatery has a huge staff even going by the space they have, it seems they have been generous enough to hire so many bartenders and service staff. This ensures that the service is quick and prompt and someone is always around to refill your glass.


Drinks

Going by the name of the place, you can already guess that this going to be the place get your favorite drink. They have an extensive range of custom cocktails, loads of variety of wine and traditional drinks. I tried the Sangria in its various forms and would definitely recommend it to all. 












The competition is really heating up at Sector 29. Just opposite LOD is the My Bar and next door neighbor is going to be the Ministry of Beer.  I recently visited Agent Jack's and it was doing a brisk business too. LOD has the advantage of the strong brand presence in Delhi NCR with regular patrons across the region. A friend who has been to almost all their centers, informed me that the HKV (LOD meadows) is amongst the best of the lot and is quite busy always.
The Food

The food here is pretty good especially if you are looking for the standard Indian or Italian fare. The traditional Indian tikkas and fried stuff come fresh and well prepared.

I tried the fish fry and the chicken tikkas and they were yum. The chicken pastas were prepared to perfection. The butter chicken slider was okayish, not as good as the rest of the menu. The Nachos were excellent companions to my whiskey.

People around me were enjoying pizzas which looked appetizing though I didn't taste it, but the pizzas looked fantastic as well. (I had my focus squarely on the upcoming desserts, which were awesome).

In desserts, I had the chocolate brownie and Chocolate Terrine both of them lush with chocolate and divine pleasure.























Must Try - The Pasta and the Nachos


Nearest Metro Station - Huda City Centre,
Nearest landmark - Bikanerwala is an old institution at Sector 29 Market. LOD is right next to it.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In fact, i...

Politics - A Profession

This post is loosely inspired by the  TATA Tea a d  where this politician goes to ask for votes and a voter asks him for his qualification and work experience the the important 'job' that he is embarking upon. The politician laughs at the voter, asking him what job is the voter referring to. The voter responds, "The job to run the country". Do politicians in other countries view politics as a profession? Or is politics viewed similarly across international boundaries? The best way of course to find out is go to that ever useful tool for professionals - LinkedIn.  Here are the results: Barrack Obama Hillary Clinton Sarah Palin The apparently technologically challenged Senator   John McCain. I also came across many politicians, prime ministers who have LinkedIn profiles. While having a LinkedIn profile is not a certificate of a person character, one has to appreciate the intent. Reach out to masses, and more importantly, take politics as a profession. Successful leader...

What does it take to be a leader?7 ways leadership from stillness empowers sensitive people

WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? 7 Powerful Ways Leadership from Stillness Empowers Sensitive People This piece reframes WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? as calm presence rather than theatre. I argue sensitive, trauma-affected youth can lead through stillness—anchoring ritual, mindful presence, energetic boundaries and trauma-informed compassion. Expect research, practical space and voice tips, personal stories for spiritually aligned mentorship and guidance now. Do you fear leading because it might expose your softness? If the answer is yes, you’re exactly who I’m writing for. First published- 03/07/2009 13:53 Leadership from Stillness:  Gentle Leadership for Sensitive Youth I start with that heavy question — WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE A LEADER? — because I want us to stop measuring leadership by volume. In my work with young people who feel everything, the loudest voices are rarely the most useful. Leadership from stillness is a different grammar: it’s ...
