Meal-O-Drama Rajouri Garden, Delhi

At Najafgarh Road, bang opposite the BK Dutta Market, a new  Bistro has opened doors, with an interesting name - Meal-O-Drama. (I love the way it sounds.)

I met Rahul Sawhney, the humble owner of the place, whose family owns automobile dealerships across Delhi NCR. So obviously my next question was about his shift to hospitality. "It's my passion." he beams as he showed me around the place. "I have been around the Delhi party and food scene for long," he continues, "I felt that the places we have are too loud or too dim. I wanted to create a comfortable place where friends and family can sit around and enjoy their food."

Veg Starters

If you are at Mealodrama and looking for a great starter go for their veg options. TheFirangi mushroom and Corn salt n pepper were quite good and Mealo Dahi Kebab soft and light. TheMy friends liked the Crispy water chestnut with Thai basil but I didn't find it worth the hype.  The pizza and lasagna are prepared well too, in case you want to take a break from the usual Indian stuff.


Non Veg Starters

You can skip the Chicken 65 and go for their Chicken Wings and Chicken Tikka. The wings have a unique barbecue sauce that is tangy and sweet. The fried fish is crunchy and soft and better than the shrimps or prawns.






















Main Course

We had the tried and tested Indian main course with Dal Paneer and Paranthas. It was like eating high quality and very tasty Dhaba style food in posh and comfortable setting.





Desserts - Tried the all time favorite, brownie and vanilla ice cream combo with  Gulab Jamuns. Full marks their. All three were perfect.

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...

Debate : Do the ends justify the means...

Note : Give it all a fair thought before you jot down... Flaming and religion-bashing will not be tolerated. Your participation is gladly appreciated. I dunno if you folks remember this incident; a couple of yrs back, the UPSC exam had a question where the emainee had to assert his views on *revolutionary terrorism* initiated by Bhagat Singh. As is typical of the government, hue and cry was not far behind... Anyway, let us look at some facts -   Bhagat Singh was an atheist, considered to be one of the earliest Marxist in India and in line with hi thinking, he renamed the Hindustan Republican Party and called it the Hindustan Socialist Revolutionary Party. Bhagat Finally, awaiting his own execution for the murder of Saunders, Bhagat Singh at the young age of 24 studied Marxism thoroughly and wrote a profound pamphlet “Why I am an Atheist.” which is an ideological statement in itself. The circumstances of his death and execution are worth recounting. Although, Bhagat Singh had a...

Politics - A profession

Note: This article was originally published on 18 March 2009, 01:10 on this blog and has been thoughtfully revised on 30 January 2026, 12:00 noon to reflect fresh insights and updated context. 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 ...
