The Clock Tower - Golf Course Road Gurgaon/Gurugram

The Clock Tower is located on the Golf Course Road, just right opposite IBIS Hotel like a gem, almost hidden from plain sight. To reach The Clock Tower you have to take turn the left after the Faridabad turn (the one opposite Horizon Drive). This place is nestled in between the posh DLF residences.


The first thing I noticed when I entered the place was a long drive and parking space. I mean, how many times we get comfortable parking space to park our vehicles?



As you walk up to this eatery set in a stand along the building, it looks like you are entering a medieval European tower, complete with high ceilings, glass lights and heavy usage of wood and stone. The architecture just takes you to another time.


Being a stand-alone building, the property has featured multiple outdoor seating options including one on the terrace which should be terrific during good weather. Unfortunately, when I visited the place, it was quite hot to sit outside and gaze through the Gurgaon skyline. So we sat inside in a wonderful ambiance and comfortable lounge seating.



We went for aa group get together to try out the place. In starters, we had Chicken Satay, Double fried Pork, Chicken 65 and Barbeque Chicken Pizza. Chicken 65 and Pork were something I enjoyed with my Beer. The Pizza was okay and the Satay was neat and tasty but not that extraordinary as Chicken 65. My recommendation, don't miss the Chicken 65 and if you like Pork, go the Double fried pork too.


Starters

The veggies amongst us ordered Dahi ke Kebabs, Jalapeno Poppers, Spinach Pizza and Spring Rolls. You can easily avoid the Spring Rolls, as you have much better options like the Poppers which were very tasty. The Dahi ke Kebabs had nuts and dry fruits and were cooked just perfect. As for the pizza, I liked the Spinach idea but then the chicken always tastes better to me so I would recommend the barbecue chicken Pizza. 



Main Course

Grilled Fish was yum and so was the Chicken Stroganoff (served with rice). I liked the Noodles but avoided the Thai Curry and Rice enjoyed by friends. They, however, liked the combo. I think the grilled fish was very well grilled and presented with butter. Made my day that one.


Drinks

The place has a brewery so a Beer is a must have. I tried the Beer Shikanji which was a nice twist to our good old Beer. Maverick is a rum based drink and is okayish and then they have this dark Beer which is the best of all. It has the bitterness of coffee embedded into it which gives the Beer a distinct taste.




















































































Desserts

In desserts, we had a slice each of chocolate cake and brownie with Vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. It was good if I had to compare the chocolate cake was way better than the brownie but I have had better cake than this.  Also, if served with ice cream, it is always better to heat up the cake or brownie a bit for that extra taste. This was missing. 



The Clock Tower is a nice place for long pending catch ups and group get togethers. It provides the right setting and great food and drinks.

What if you could undo every regret? An uncomfortable conversation with The Midnight Library

Have you ever replayed your life at night, wondering how things might have turned out differently? The Midnight Library by Matt Haig asks you to sit with that question. Through Nora Seed’s quiet despair and imagined alternatives, the novel explores regret, possibility, depression, and the fragile hope that living at all might be enough. Have you ever wondered if one different choice could have changed everything? You probably have. Most people do. Usually at night. Usually when the world goes quiet and your mind decides to reopen old files you never asked it to keep. The job you did not take. The person you loved too late or too briefly. The version of yourself that felt possible once. You tell yourself that if you had chosen differently, life would feel fuller, cleaner, less heavy. The Midnight Library begins exactly there, in that familiar ache. Not with drama, but with exhaustion. Not with chaos, but with a woman who feels she has quietly failed at everything that mattered.

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...

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 ...
