Bunta Bar - Janpath - New Delhi

Located right opposite the famed Janpath Market is the Bunta Bar on the second floor of an office building. It has been set up with uber cool and expansive interiors with a hint of nostalgia with bunta bottles (marbles) all around the place.




Drinks

I went to this place on a hot and humid evening. The weather demanded cooling and soothing drinks and Bunta Bar did not disappoint. They serve excellently curated cocktails. I would definitely recommend the one they call Babaji ko Booti which comes in a Kettle and served in tea cups. If you want to soak into some nostalgia you can have the Bunta Bottles, which once used to be regular lemonade-based drinks but lost their charm when multinationals bulldozed their own brands. Bunta Bar has brought in the old bottles back into fashion with some exciting mixology.

Pizza & Pasta

The Chicken Pizza and Veg Pasta were both good but the pasta was a little sweet. Pizza here is way better than the pasta.
                                              

Starters

Tried their Dabeli which was okayish. Chicken 65 is a house specialty and a must try. Bunta Chicken Tikka is also recommended but I liked the 65 more. If looking for something different to try, go for the chicken tacos. They are quite good. 

                             

                             


Dinner

Dinner was Chicken Tikka Masala and Bengal Mutton Curry served with Malabar and plain Paranthas. A great choice, I could not find any fault with either of them, cooked so well and portion size was generous.




Desserts

Brownie with Ice Cream was the suggestion given by the server and it was yum and chocolaty.

Did You Ever Love Me? Book Review: Can Rithvik singh turn heartbreak into a homecoming?

Did You Ever Love Me? by Rithvik Singh is a tender contemporary poetry collection about love, heartbreak, longing, self worth and learning to let go. Its greatest strength is emotional accessibility: Singh writes directly to readers who feel intensely and care deeply. The collection offers comfort without pretending heartbreak is simple, though its simplicity may occasionally feel familiar to seasoned poetry readers. Did you Ever Love Me? Have you ever loved someone so completely that, after they left, you were left wondering whether they had ever understood what they had been given? Not merely whether they loved you, but whether they ever noticed how much you loved them, how much patience you offered, how many small things you remembered, or how often you chose to stay when leaving might have been easier. There is a particular loneliness in that question because it rarely arrives at a dramatic moment. More often, it finds you while you are doing something completely ordinary. Yo...

Epitome of equality

First of all This is not to demean any religion.. I am a Hindu by birth, but yes I respect all religions .I offer my daily prayers , fast on holy days , but there was something that was disturbing me . God as per me was a Friend, someone who was by my side always , someone who was a dear friend , but this is not what everyone else thought , for others he was the Judge who gives his verdict always and punishes anyone and everyone . Walk into any temple and you would see , if you have money , you will be treated in a way as if you are the ONLY disciple of the God . I have had too many experiences where I was treated as a second class citizen in the temple . Why? Well I could not afford giving thousands as donation. This is not how it should be , God looks at each one of us with the same divinity .As I mentioned God for me is a friend, so tell me, do we chose friends based on their bank balances? Do we give our verdict on them ? then how can God do it? I know many of us would ...

Satyameva Jayate - Free speech

More than 40 people have died in the riots that have followed the killing of Swami Lakshmanananda in Kandhamal in Orissa. 5 people were killed and 47 injured in Mumbai when Jerry Falwell made some comments saying that the Prophet of Islam was a violent man and a terrorist. 12 people had died in Mumbai in anti-rushdie riots. There are more instances I can point out, but these stand out because of the scale and because of how related India is to last two people. Mr. Falwell runs a Christian ministry in US and Salman Rushdie, although ethically an Indian, had migrated to Pakistan and was a citizen of UK at that time. Of all riots that took place all over the world following the statement by Jerry Falwell and against Salman Rushdie, India was the only place with causalities. Orissa has been a hotbed of communal tensions between Hindus and Christians for a while now. India is the largest democracy which is more than 60 years old. Why then are we so undemocratic in our conduct? I will not sa...
