Storm (2.0) is back in town - East of Kailash - Delhi

Storm Bar & Grill has undergone a fabulous transformation and is launching in a new avatar to be called Storm 2.0. I had lunch at the place, which was superb on all counts.

Drinks

The Green Apple FoaMartini is the best cocktail they have. It looks so beautiful and tastes so good I say go for this one if you are visiting this place. If Long Island Ice Tea is what you like, try their Storm LIIT  which is quite good.

Appetizers

For starters, we ate Maggi Arancini, Singh Ching, Pao Bhaji Brushetta, Butter Chicken Tart, Kadai Vegetable Tart and Udta Punjab and Amritsari Fish and Chips. Amritsari Fish and Chips were well fried but they didn't serve any tartar sauce with it. Fish tastes best with tartar sauce.  Udta Punjab is a name they have given to your tandoori chicken which is served in a skewer dish. I would recommend this one. But the best dish they have on the menu us the Butter Chicken Tart. It was I think last week I was talking to someone how Butter Chicken experiments were just not the done thing. But Storm proved me wrong with those tarts. They had the right sweet crunch with cheese on the top.  But they are little sweet to taste which I love but if you are looking for something spicy or less sweet go for Udta Punjab thing.

For vegetarians the best thing they have is the Maggi Arancini which are basically your maggi koftas. Full marks for creativity and taste. Kadai vegetable tart is your veg version of Butter Chicken tart and Pao Bhaji Brushetta was okay. Singh Ching was also okay not over the top.

Salads

We ordered Chicken Tikka Salad which was okayish and Desi Thai Bel which was good. I am not a big fan of salads so it was okay for me.

Pasta with Makhni Sauce - This was penne tossed in your usual North Indian gravy. Awesome idea.

Mains

After all the experiments in the appetizers and snacks, we had typical Indian food. Dal Storm Version 2.0 is your usual Dal makhani. Panner Khatta Pyaaz is tangy but mostly how your kadhai paneer should taste like. Chettinad Chicken was surprisingly good, given that it did not look Chettinad et all. Bhuna mutton is again your standard Mutton dish. I had Malabari Paranthas with the meats and the paranthas were as flaky as they should be.

Desserts

Storm fried ice cream is a specialty and a must try. But the star attraction is the Gulab Jamun Cheese Cake. They have embedded gulab jamuns in the cheesecake and needless to say, it tastes heavenly.

Learning from Gardening

While composing status messages, just for fun, I simply jot down anything random that comes to my mind at the moment. Here is the latest FB message i posted few seconds ago. Tushar Mangl learns a lot from his gardening routine. Even when his plants die, he simply feels bad and then goes about to plan for new plants. Mostly because an empty space does not look that good. That is life for you. People will always go away from your life, at one point or another. But you cannot always leave the places vacan t. New plants have to be placed. Optimism has to exist for new flowers to bloom, new leaves to grow. Now, FB only gives me 422 characters to say my point. But my dear blogger, a companion of several years gives me much better platform to elaborate my thoughts. You see, in a flower bed I maintain near stairs of my house I had planted bougainvillea plants on either sides of the bed. As fate would have it, and given my nature of getting too attached to livi...

A suggestion to break the loop of guilt, isolation, and emotional burnout?

Caught in a guilt spiral, isolating quietly, and wondering why rest doesn’t heal you? You’re not lazy—you’re carrying layers of unprocessed emotion and spiritual exhaustion. This is your invitation to pause, reflect, and reset. Let’s explore why you still feel stuck despite good intentions, and discover rituals, reflections, and real reconnection to help you come home to yourself. First Published on 20/06/2008 14:30 Second edition Published on 04/07/2025 12:51 Why do you keep spiraling despite good intentions? Let me ask you this. Have you ever written out a self-care plan so perfectly, maybe in a brand-new notebook—drink more water, meditate, go to therapy—and yet by day three you’re numbly binge-scrolling, wondering what’s broken now ? Yeah. Same. We don’t spiral because we’re undisciplined or lazy. We spiral because the emotional weight we’re carrying goes deeper than we admit. It's not about a missed workout or failing to reply to that one text. It's the inner tug-of...

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...
