The Punjab Kitchen Gurgaon

Gurgaon has an overwhelming floating population with hundreds of people living away from home to work here. The Punjab Kitchen is serving lip smacking home style food. The packaging is quite good and as the name suggests, it does remind me of Punjab.


TPK, as it is mostly called, is akin to FoodVook and Yumist but has far better value and taste. I ordered food on a Friday, a non-veg simple thali, which had mutton, rice, eggs, and paranthas. The order was delivered well on time and packaged quite well. The food was hot and fresh.

Non-Vegetarians have to keep in mind that the Thali is not usually available on Tuesdays and Saturdays. So you should check before ordering. The food is simply awesome and they keep coming up with some discount schemes or promotions so definitely check up on that. 

                                   

I liked the mutton and the portions were quite good. In sweets, they added chocolate nutties which were a pleasant surprise. 

I asked the owner, Ekta about her concept and vision for this venture and she emailed me a response,


"With Gurgaon becoming the center of corporate India, there is a great influx of office workers from all over the country. Despite its cosmopolitan reputation, with its choice of lunch and dinner options, where most are produced in masse in commercial kitchens, the city has a shortage of options for good, nourishing home cooked food. This is where TPK aka The Punjab Kitchen comes in. All of TPK’s lunches and dinners are actually cooked at home with fresh ingredients, in small batches by a smaller team of people who truly love cooking, and delivered to your doorstep, as if personally by your mother! As with all home cooking, TPK’s meals are cooked with the purpose of feeding and pleasing a family, a large one in this case”



Indeed for so many of us living outside home, TPK is a great alternative for a fulfilling meal. It also offers beverage options like cold coffee and lassi in cool glass bottles which keep the beverages fresh and tasty.

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 ...

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 ...

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...
