</div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Spring and summers are all about vibrant colours. Nature is in its full glory these days. So, why should our looks be far behind ? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">If you ask me, I find summer months very hard to endure due to the heat and humidity in Kolkata. It completely drains off all my energy. On such days, it is important to keep charged up as you go about doing all your daily chores at home or at work. Therefore, I take inspirations from the littlest things around me - I dress up in soothing pastel shades, sip on fresh juices, try vibrant nail colours and some nice lipsticks.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I recently came across Elle 18's new nail pops in nice vibrant shades.The colours and the packaging were a delight to the eyes. The brand is known for its affordable quality makeup in a cool packaging. Their nail polishes were a hit with me since my teenage years. Therefore, when the brand sent me the new products, I was very happy to see they are revamping their packaging and products to keep their customers happy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Every girl would be familiar with Elle 18's nail polishes. Their new collection is a revamped version of that. What strikes you at first is the change in packaging - they now have a square bottle with their signature graphics on it. Easy to store π </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The colours were not too different from their previous collection but I saw some nice pastel shades. The colour payoff was good. You get the perfect shade with 2-3 swipes. Its been a week since I have them on my nails, and they are still doing good. π</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wish they soon come up with some matte shades too. That will a bonus!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Price - Rs.50 for 5ml.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I will soon be putting up a video review of the product. Please check out:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's winter finally in Kolkata! Yay! There is nothing like taking a walk on a winter afternoon, sipping on a cup of tea, having some hot soups and of course lazying around in your favourite blanket π. Like every season, it also comes with a set of challenges. </span><div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Dry, itchy skin is a part and parcel of this weather. My skin gives me a tough time this time of the year. You can actually spot the dry marks on my skin this time. It feels rough most of the time, even after applying body lotion a while back. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I recently came across <a href="https://stdvence.com/" target="_blank">St. D'Vence's</a> new moisturizer which is a part of their autumn edition. This is the first beauty product you can pre-order on Amazon, a first in Amazon's 20-year-old history. The product will be available from 10 December onwards. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The product came with a personalised note from the founder, seeking honest feedback which was an extremely thoughtful gesture.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">First things first, I loved the packaging. It comes in a nice small plastic bottle.No hygiene issues there, so a big thumbs up π. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It mentions that the moisturiser is an ultra-nourishing one good for dry to very dry skin, which is exactly my skin type during winters. To test this claim, I used it only one hand. Trust me, I could feel the difference. The area where this product was used felt nicely hydrated and super soft for around 3 hours. Again, a πfor that. It absorbs into your skin within 2-3 seconds and has a nice non-greasy formula. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The product description reads that it uses a blend of ten premium ingredients that hydrates the driest of skin.The ingredient list boasts of avacoado, argan oil, sunflower oil, til oil, coconut oil, alm<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

ond oil, jojoba oil, aloe vera and so on. All of them proven to act like magic for your skin. I love the combination especially the argan oil bit in it. I am a big fan essential oils and vouch for its benefits all the time. The fragrance is impressive too- Pleasant yet not too strong. π</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It is parabens free, does not contain harmful chemicals and is a 100 % vegetarian prduct.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">100 ml of the product costs Rs. 275, which I feel is a good deal, given the ingredients used and the performance of the product.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I would definitely recommend this product for the winters. Here is the pre-order link for you : <a data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?hl=en&q=http://amzn.to/2iY884z&source=gmail&ust=1512663848361000&usg=AFQjCNGfgL8VkWoEFxLINRobi80bRZgr5Q" href="http://amzn.to/2iY884z" style="background-color: white; color: #1155cc;" target="_blank">http://amzn.to/2iY884z</a></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Festive season is over! With all the styling, roaming around on the streets while we ignored the weather and the pollution, hair care has sure gone for a toss. Rain gods have also been quite generous this time, which added to the woes. Now that all the festivities are on a pause, it is time for some hair care.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Let me admit here that I am extremely lazy when it comes to haircare or skincare. I am not someone who will spend hours at a salon or invest time on a weekend trying out a new haircare pack at home. Given the hectic schedule I have, weekends are the only time I get to unwind. Weekends are also the time I meet my friends and do things I like. Therefore, f</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">or me, trusted products are important for skincare and haircare.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I trust Himalaya Herbals' products for my skin or hair. Might be because their products are well researched and they rely on the goodness of age-old herbal secrets. They have worked very well for me.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">When I received this box from Himalaya Herbals with their anti-hair fall range, I knew a lot of my hair care woes were taken care of. It consists of very basic products that are a must-have in your hair care regime- their anti-hair fall range.I have tried these products before and I know I can trust them.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><i style="background-color: white;">Here's how you can do something healthy for your hair:</i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1. Start with oiling your hair with <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Himalaya's anti hair fall</b></span> oil around 20-30 minutes before a hair wash. It has a light fragrance and is comparatively non-greasy. Massage it gently on your scalp so that it gets absorbed well. If you have time, you could also use some hot towel therapy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2. Rinse your hair with their <span style="color: #990000;"><b>anti hair fall shampoo</b></span>. It can be used for all types of hair including chemically treated hair.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3. Use <span style="color: #990000;"><b>Himalaya's anti hair fall conditioner</b> </span>the usual way, along the length of the hair.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4. Apply the <span style="color: #990000;"><b>anti-hair fall cream </b></span>on damp hair right after shampoo and conditioning, for some extra nourishment. The formula is not exactly non-greasy so make sure to use a very small amount.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The ingredients used in the range of products like bhringraja, amalaki, chickpea have been known since times immemorial to make your hair stronger and healthier. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have been using these products for quite some time now and have seen a visible reduction in hair fall. I would especially recommend the shampoo and the conditioner. There are months when I wash my hair almost every day because of the humid weather. The natural ingredients used in the products gives me the confidence to do so without worrying about my hair becoming dull and dry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Have you used any of these products? Let me know what do you think of them.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">Bombay Brasserie</span> </i></b>is back to the city of joy, in a brand new avatar. Moving from formal dining to casual dining, the brand has put a lot of thought while curating the menu. Aimed at keeping the armchair traveller happy, the menu has a desi touch to it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was invited to the relaunch party and here are the four things which appealed to me :</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">1. Think Pauwas, Think Bombay Brasserie:</span> </i></b>The rustic pauwas have got a sophisticated touch to it with the outlet's relaunch. Served in glass bottles, they have interesting cocktails like the Pondy Rush, Jaipur Gulaabo, Go Goa Gone, Nagpuri Santra, Janta Bar to name a few.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">2. And, the Chaknas to go with it:</span></i></b> Friends, pauwa cocktails and no chaknas? Bombay Brasserie has that sorted for you - The Chakna Tray! It's a variety of snacks in a single tray to go with your cocktails.</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">3. Chilli Cheese toasts are a </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">passΓ©</span></span></span></i></b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">, BB brings Chilli Cheese Kulchas:</span></i></b> This is one of my favourite items from the menu ! This comes from a hard core non-vegetarian, who hardly looks at the non-veg menu at most times. The concept of chilli cheese toasts in a kulcha format, this one is sinful and comforting at the same time.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">4. India's favourites curated for the armchair traveller:</span></i></b> In the menu, you find some of the country's choicest dishes - there is Kolkata's fish fry, Mumbai's keema maska pao, Kashmiri naan kebab to name a few. The brand claims that the ingredients are also locally sources to maintain the authenticity of the dishes.</span><br />

This is the season of a hot cup of chai, some piping hot pakoras, long drives and staying curled up in bed all day! Bongs would also tell you about the beauty of the ilish maach - khichdi combo(hilsa fish & khichdi) during this season. π</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">While it is the most awaited season of the year after the hot and humid months, it also brings with itself a lot of viruses. We all have to step out of her homes due to work and other engagements. Therefore, it is absolutely necessary to keep certain things in mind to keep yourself healthy this season.</span></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here are my mantras to keep yourself safe:</span></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;"><i>1. Keep yourself and your surroundings clean</i></span></b> - It is absolutely necessary to keep yourself, your home and colonies clean. This is the season when viruses can breed easily due to the humidity. Mosquito borne diseases are usually on the rise. Make sure there is no stagnant water in your home/ colony. I would suggest a pest control ahead of the season to keep any unwanted insects at bay. Typically it will cost you around Rs.500 - 1000 and you will need it only thrice/four times a year. Local vendors offer more economical rates.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">2. Keep germs away even on the move -</span></i></b> We constantly have to keep moving out of our homes and offices. We avail public transport almost every day and come in contact with people from different walk of life. It is mandatory to keep a hand sanitizer and a mosquito repellent cream in your handbag. You never know where the germs might find you!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;"><i>3. Eat healthy -</i></span></b> Have loads of soup and stews this season, homemade off-course. They have this typical power to fight viruses- be it cold, cough or fever while also giving you the comfort of sipping something hot in this season. Chicken soups work best for me as an immunity booster as well :) Junk food should be avoided especially those which use a lot of water like panipuris. For a person like me who swears by her weekly dose of phuchka, I have it without the water. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">4. See a doctor if you are feeling unwell -</span></i></b> If you have been feeling unwell for more than 2-3 days, please see a doctor. It is better to get yourself cured in the early stages than wait for it to get worse. Always trust the doctor rather than your own instincts or other's opinions, please!</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><i><span style="color: #990000;">5. Gargle regularly -</span></i></b> Though we do this only when we have a sore throat, it will help if we do this on a regular basis during this season. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> </b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><i><span style="color: #990000;"><b>6. Always remember grandma's tips are the best -</b></span></i> We all have these trustworthy home remedies that work wonders for us. We all know the magic of the adrak wali chai (ginger tea) or masala tea or the honey-lemon drink or a glass of warm milk. There is so much more to this π</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">These tips have been adopted by generations and they still work like magic. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Take care of your health while you enjoy this season. Happy Monsoons ππ Please share your tips for this season as well :)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's a new job, yet the same corporate life! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I have been travelling a lot all these months, and therefore haven't been able to devote too much time here. I have been missing blogging so much. π Any transition is not easy and this is one amongst them. While I adapt to the new things in life, I hope I am regular here because it is one of my favourite places, my place of expression ππ</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">As a part of my work routine, I recently visited Dhaka, Bangladesh - one of the distant cousins of Kolkata! If you have ever stayed in Kolkata, you would have definitely heard the great "Ghoti - Bangal" debate.π To make things simpler, Ghoti are people from West BengaI and Bangal are people with a Bangladeshi origin.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I was curious to explore the other part of the border, a place I had heard a lot about from almost everyone around me in Kolkata - relatives, friends, colleagues, random strangers! From the famous ilish of Dhaka to the Dhakai Jamdani sarees to feasting on traditional Dhakai cuisine, I had everything on my "things to do" list.(<i>Yes, that is how you tend of talk when you have been a corporate slave for more than 6 years now </i>!) π.Even before I had landed, I had a list of things I had to get for people - Dhakai Jamdaani sarees were something I was really eager to buy, hilsa fish for family, biriyani for a mentor and friend from the blogging world, Poorna Di of <a href="http://presentedbyp.com/">Presentedbyp.com</a>. Little did I know then, I would not be able to do any of them, thanks to the almost packed schedule of my trip. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">While I was busy brooding over what I could not do in Dhaka, I stumbled upon something which was unique in its own little way. It was the holy month of Ramzan time and all the little street corners were buzzing with excitement every evening during Iftar time. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The city had a distinct excitement during this time of the year.Offices were shut by 4, roads which are choked with cars almost every hour of the day, became desolate by 6, a city which is as excited about its food as Calcutta, none of the lunch joints were open as people were fasting. Lunch for me was mostly KFC or Dominos! It was only in the evenings that you could smell delicious haleem, see hot pakoras being fried, chana, fruits, dates being sold and delectable kebabs in almost in every area. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I tried out mutton haleem from a small streetside joint in Gulshan area of Dhaka. It was a handi full of deliciousness π.

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Maybelline's Colossal Kajal range has been a favourite for almost all girls I know, because of it's consistent performance and for it's ease on the pocket.From its first launch, Maybelline has worked on this cult product and reinvented it several times,each time coming out with a attractive proposition. This time they claim that the kajal lasts for 24 hours.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The product comes in the classic yellow and black packaging as for most of the products in this range. You can hardly make out the difference from its outer body unless you notice the "24Hr" claim on the packaging.</span><br />

<b style="color: #990000; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif; font-size: x-large;"><i>How do I feel about the product?</i></b><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It comes in the same retractable tube that all other Colossal Kajals have. There is definitely a change in the texture. This one is creamier and smooth on application. The end result is matte, though. I needed around 3 swipes for the perfect pigmentation on the lash line.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The formula has aloe vera, vitamin E&C to keep your eyes looking fresh without any irritation.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">The kajal lasted for a good 6-8 hours despite the heat, after which there was slight smudging on the corners.You could easily ignore that if you didn't look too closely. It didn't last for 24 hours for sure on me because by the end of the day,it was almost like any other kajal without touch ups. It could be this way for me because I have extremely sensitive skin around my eyes and there are very few kajals that do a good job on me. Maybelline's Colossal range is one among the few. There was no irritation even after a long day and was not difficult to remove either.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"> A stick of 0.35gm costs 180Rs, which is a pretty good price. Colossal kajal has been one of the most preferred budget kajals.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Himalaya Herbals has been on a roll, with new products being added almost every 2 months. This time it's the new range of mouthwashes - <b><i><span style="color: #990000;">Himalaya Herbals Mouthwash</span></i></b>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">People hardly realize the importance of a good mouthwash. Not only is it good for your oral health, it also is an essential element for your personal grooming. Imagine going into a meeting with a bad breath. No matter how well dressed you are, the impression of you will be spoilt forever. In the world where people are ever ready to stereotype, don't be surprised if you are the butt of nasty jokes. Bad breath is difficult to judge for yourself and therefore, you should be extra careful. You can't always rely on people around to tell you. They might not want to point it out to you if they are not very close to you fearing that you might not take it in the right stride.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">As I am in a kind of profession where I am interacting with people all the time and I am always in and out of meetings, I am extra careful. I normally chew on a gum after lunch. I realize it's a bad habit as the chewing gums are bad for your teeth. Now I am doting on the new range of mouthwashes from Himalaya. </span><br />

Say it with food this Valentines' Day<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Valentines' Day is definitely extremely cliched.I believe that if you love someone, it's important to express your love every single day through small gestures. Because of the daily grind, we often miss expressing our feelings to our parents, spouses, sibling and friends. If one day and the unnecessary hype around it can make us do this, then its worth giving a shot. ππ</span><br />

Food outlets of Kolkata have elaborate plans for Valentines' Day as well.</span></span><br />

Though our family never had very oily, spicy food and the amount of oil used was always limited, we never measured it and it was surely more than 5 teaspoons.Now, I can confidently cook a delicious meal with less than 2 teaspoons of oil. We were sure of the fact that adding generous amounts of oil never enhances the taste. I make it a point not to compromise on taste because you can only make healthy food a way of life when you like eating it. I have always been finicky about food and I would never have tasteless food. Then, how can I expect others to have it every single day ? Now, even our guests are treated to food cooked with minimum oil.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It's not that difficult actually. You just need to remember a few tricks and you will be able to cook a healthy yet fulfilling meal for your family :)</span></span><br />
<i><u><b><span style="color: #990000; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here it goes :</span></span></b></u></i><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: #990000;">1. Use nonstick cookware : </span></b>Invest in some nonstick cookware. It will go a long long way ensuring a healthy life for your family. Sprinkle just about a teaspoon to 2 teaspoons of oil. A quality nonstick vessel ensures that the oil doesn't stick to the pan and hence you can cook in very little oil.</span></span><br />

Use yoghurt to cook meat gravy : </span></b>You don't need too much oil to cook meat.After frying the onions, add the meat along with yoghurt. The meat will cook in the juices coming out of the yoghurt. Cook the meal on medium heat and avoid high heat. You will be surprised to see how yoghurt adds a great flavour to your dish and how the meat turns out to be soft. For cuisines like chilli chicken, boil the chicken first or stir fry the chicken pieces with cornflour.</span></span><br />

Pan grill your chicken or fish instead of frying:</span></b> Bongs swear by their fish curries.For me, it's important to have the fish well cooked before it's added to the gravy. But I do not use buckets of oil to deep fry my fish. Instead, I grill them. You get the best results when you marinate the fish/chicken overnight and pan grill the fish with about one teaspoon of oil in a nonstick pan. But usually, I do not have that much time. I usually marinate for an hour. The results are good enough. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The moment you open the tub, there is a sweet fragrance of cocoa butter. The fragrance lingers on for quite some time and leaves you feeling and smelling good. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Body creams are something that my skin demands every day, all thanks to my dry skin.π Why just winters, I apply a generous amount of body butters almost all year round. Unfortunately, its difficult to find a good body cream/ body butter at a pocket friendly price. Anything that I apply on my skin should also smell good. Only Body Shop's Body butters have been able to satisfy my cravings so far. However, as we all know, they are not very easy on the pocket. I was very happy to find this tub of great smelling body cream from Himalaya Herbals. If it is from the house of Himalayas, I do not need to worry about the quality at all. They have great products.</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><i><b><span style="color: #660000;">Texture :</span></b></i> It has a rich, creamy texture which keeps your skin hydrated for a very long time. Initially because of the rich feel of the cream, you might think that it is greasy but it isn't. The cream gets absorbed into your skin within seconds, leaving you smelling good and your skin feeling moisturized. The cream lingers on my extremely dry skin for around 5-6 hours, which is a very good bet. I also double it up as a hand cream sometimes after bath because of the softness that it provides!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: #660000;">Packaging:</span></i></b> It comes in a plastic tub packaging which is easy to carry. The cream is further protected by an inner plastic lid. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b><i><span style="color: #660000;">Pricing :</span></i></b> It is an extremely affordable option in the body butter / cream category. Intense moisturizing, nice fragrance and quality ingredients, it is everything that you will swear by in the winters. A 200 ml tub is priced at Rs. 270. What more can you ask for ? </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"><b>Texture and Pigmentation:</b> The lip crayons are perfectly pigmented and they give you smooth coverage in just one swipe. Repeat if you want a darker shade.The texture is that of a perfect matte.I have worn them on both dry lips and hydrated ones. I loved the texture in both cases because they didn't make my lips feel flaky and dry right after application. However, because of my dry lips, its always better if I apply it on hydrated lips. </span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: 18pt;"><b>Staying power:</b> The lip crayon stayed on my lips for about 6-7 hours. Even though it slightly transfers, the texture and colour will linger on your lips for quite some time. Even after a heavy meal, the shade was intact on my lips with mild fading. The shade could be completely removed only by a make up remover. There is no bleeding or staining of lips.</span><span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">As we say goodbye to 2016, all of us have plans to say "Hello" to 2017 in our own way. While some of us will be hitting the best of Pubs in town, some might plan to spend time with your near and dear ones at a house party ! </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have always belonged to the "House Party Club". Never being a fan of crowded places, New Year eve parties are not something that appealed to me. House parties look like the best idea to me. Its all about indulging in food, friends, family and conversations as we brace the new year :)</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Trust me, House parties are a lot of fun ! From cooking together to sharing stupid stories to not caring a bit whether or not you act crazy if drunk, it truly is the best way to herald the New Year. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Why depend on only the store bought boring packets of chips, chanachur and bhujias when you can make something for your guests in no time! I have listed down some chakna options that are easy to make at home in no time. Whether or not your party involves booze, you can enjoy them nonetheless. π</span></span><br />

Tandoori Chicken : </span></i></b>One of my favorites. A little bit of planning in advance and they are easy to put together in no time. And to add to it, they are delicious and healthy !

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Sunday is one such day of the week which has been special ever since childhood. It meant dance classes, silly games we played with friends in the afternoons, good food and quality family time. It was one such day when dad was home and we enjoyed a lazy meal. Yes, the afternoon siesta was bliss !</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Thankfully, I can say nothing much has changed over the years. Though Dance classes and silly games have been replaced with the adda over the morning tea, the laundries, the cleaning up and the cooking; yet it remains special. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Winters add a special touch to the lazy Sundays. The love affair with your blanket seems endless with no alarm clock playing a spoilsport. The morning cup of tea looks more inviting as you can spend as much time with it. Morning breakfasts are all about comfort food and nothing beats a steaming bowl of Maggi with loads of onions and chillis :) Not to forget the Sunday Lunches.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Along with all the pros, there comes a list of thumbs down as well. I have always disliked winters for the havoc it created with my skin and hair. My already dry skin decides to not listen to me at all. My chapped lips never seem to heal for all these months and my hair looks so very dry and damaged :(</span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Though I am extremely lazy when it comes to skincare, I have to take out some time for my skin in the winters especially on Sundays.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">A few days ago, I received a hamper from <a href="http://www.himalayaherbals.com/">Himalaya Herbals</a> to meet all my winter needs. It came with body lotions, nourishing creams and lip balms. Everything that is sure to find space in your winter care regime.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I especially adore their cocoa butter body lotion and have been using it for quite some time. Since I have extremely dry skin, I have to reapply the lotion after 6-7 hours in the winters. The white complexion day cream is also a very good product from the family and works well for my skin. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Lip balms are something I constantly keep applying and reapplying, not just in the winters but all round the year. The situation just worsens in the winters. I don't remember a single day in the winters when I had smooth lips. They are forever chapped and flaky :( <a href="http://lovehealthnbeauty.blogspot.in/2016/03/himalayas-new-range-of-lip-balms.html">Himalaya's Lip balms</a> come in a variety of flavours and give my lips a good coverage and the necessary nourishment. No lip balm stays on my lips for a long time but in terms of moisture it provides, Himalaya Lip balms are good.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">If you live in India, you cannot be unaffected by the demonetization drive by our honorable Prime Minister. Right from doing the groceries, everyday commute to shopping goals, you cannot ignore the cash crunch that the country is currently facing. Though most of the honest tax payers like me have welcomed the decision with open arms despite the initial hiccups, people from all fields of life have been affected in some manner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">So, how am I dealing with this cash crunch ? By going online and resorting to alternate payment methods. Yes, It helped me a lot this time. It is time that our elders are also introduced to these paymenr gateways. It just makes life simpler for all of us in normal conditions as well.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>1. Buying Groceries Online</b> - I have to admit,this is a first for me as well. Browsing through 5 different brands in a super market have always been my preferred choice of buying groceries. This time, forced by the limited cash in hand, I browsed through Grofers and Bigbasket.com and ended up ordering from Bigbasket. I am quite impressed by the sheer variety they have. Thankfully they have metat and fish in cut sizes just like you get in normal markets. You need not buy in bulk everytime you order. It was a seamless process and things got delivered on time. The packaging was great and the products were fresh :)</span><br />

Paying for my daily commute By Paytm and debit cards</b> - I was the happiest when Uber launched the Cash option in India. :P Thanks to all the news of online fraud cases, I always thought cash was the best option. Though I am not someone to carry too much of cash in my wallet, I depended on ATM transactions every week. Now with no option left, I fianlly recahrged Paytm to manage my Uber bills. It is extreme;y convenient but be careful with passwords and other security measures</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>4. Funds transfer by Paytm </b>- Our office colleagues have been planning a weekend trip. Like all group trips, these plannings include a lot of pitching in of cash. Since all of us are short of cash, we are transferring funds to each other's Paytm accounts. Simple, fast and extremely helpful, this is something I tried for the first time. Well, one of my dearest friends has also offered to buy me something because I was short of cash at that point in time and I could repay through Paytm transfer :P</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>5. Thinking of easier ways to exchange your Rs. 500 and Rs.1000 notes</b> - Standing in long queues outside banks is not very appealing to me. People have been standing outside banks since early morning to exchange the notes that they have and they get to do the job late in the afternoon. This looks extremely difficult to me on a workday or even on a weekend. Therefore, I have been looking for ways to easily exchange the cash. I have used one such denomination to recharge my metro card and buy some medicines which we will anyway need. Some organizations are still accepting old currency notes, which they will eventually deposit in banks. Use these offers before they expire.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">God bless these alternate payment methods :)</span><br />

Upcycled decor by Sahil & Sarthak:</span></b><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> This one was my favourite at The India Story 2016. The vibrant colours and the innovative ideas caught my attention instantly. They surely have amazing things to flaunt especially their lovely lights made with glass bangles - an amazing DIY idea that can add glamour to any boring corner of the room. They also have recliners, wall mirrors, armchairs and swings made with unused fabric leftovers procured from mills. And guess what they don't look boring at all. These are amazing things you would want to indulge in when setting up your comfort zones. One such statement piece and your room will have a character of its own.</span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman", serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

Earrings, neckpieces, statement rings - you name it and you get it in bright colours adorned with mirrors and simple embroidery that can jazz up any outfit. I am too tempted to pick up some of their stuff especially their earrings and their glass cocktail rings. All Instagram stalking done and to-buy lists done ! Its inspiring to see how they have used simple weaves and designs and carved them into lovely pieces that will complement both Indian and western wear.

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"> The hamper was the perfect kit to tackle all your summer woes. Since we are all dealing with the October heat, it looked like the perfect solution. It had Himalaya Herbals' new product - Tan removal orange peel off mask, a pair of sunglasses, a floral scarf and a lovely straw hat. All this made me crave for a holiday. But unfortunately, we had to cancel our vacation plans because my mom had fractured her wrist.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Coming back to the product, The Tan removal peel off mask is one of the new launches from the brand. If you have been following my blog, you would know that I swear by Himalaya Herbals range especially its hair care and skin care products. Therefore, when I received this product, I was very excited to try it out. Thanks to the heat almost all the year round these days, I am terribly tanned ! And honestly, I am lazy when it comes to hair care and skin care. This seemed to be the easy solution for me :)</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: large;">The tan removal mask comes in an easy to use inverted tube packaging, making sure that there is no wastage of the product. The consistency of the mask being slightly runny, yet it seems to be of the perfect consistency when you apply it on your skin. Make sure to apply a thick layer of any peel off mask to ensure that the removal process in easy and less time consuming. On applying the mask, there was a slight cooling sensation and it dried up within 15-20 mins. The removal process, which seems to be the most dreaded part of peel off masks to me, was easy and hassle free. The mask gave a tightening feel to the skin. On removal, the skin felt fresh and smoother. There is also a slight lightening effect post using it for a month. But like I always say, no herbal product works like magic and one month is not a very long duration to judge it's efficiency. You need to regularly use the product for best results.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><b style="background-color: white;"><i>On the drinks menu, There was Coronarita</i></b><span style="background-color: white;"> which is a delectable mix of Classic Margarita with Corona on Top and Michelada made </span><span style="background-color: white;">with Sea Salt, Corona, Lime, Chilli and Secret Sauce. Both of us being hoarders of spicy food, Michelada was something that appealed to both of us. And yes, it won the game hands down all because of the chilli and the sea salt. Though beer lovers might swear by Coronarita, which comes with a bottle of Corona on top, It was not our favourite. (Yes, that how it looks, don't even try to pick up the glass. I didn't ,given the clumsy person I am)</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Honestly, the Onion Os were not that great but the fish n chips were good. Chicken poutine was something we both liked. With bacon, cheese and chicken, it was perfect. What won our hearts was the Roasted Chicken Pie. It was gooey, cheesy and oh-so-good. The dish comes in a small pot filled with chicken and cheese. It was a pot of happiness, one sppon of it and we couldn't stop raving about it. Though we were quite full by that, we just kept on having spoonfuls of it because of the sheer pleasure that the dish was ! ( many many more calories added :/) It was a pity we still couldn't finish the dish.</span></span><br />

Right from companies planning their marketing strategies to people making lists of pandals to visit, the buzz is hard to miss. Yes, add to that the crowded streets and the traffic because almost the whole of Kolkata is out on the streets for some last minute preparations.</span></span><br />

Four days of new clothes is the best part of Durga Puja.

A lot of us will not dare to do that. And why would anyone do that when they can get amazing designs at affordable rates in online shops like MYesha with just a click !</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/myeshamystore">MYesha</a> appeals to me a lot.

All of us had heard lovely things about Monkey Bar from our friends in Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi. Hence, when we were invited for a preview of the MoBar( as its fondly called), I could see a lot of excitement amongst the community. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">It was also the day when Kolkata received the heaviest rainfall of the season. It was a workday and though my office is almost a 20 min walk from the outlet, I was not sure if I could make it. There was water everywhere, roads were chock-a-block with cars honking and yellow cabs blatantly refused, app cabs were surging !! In short, Kolkata was in a bad state that evening., add to that the office hour pressure. But god bless that one yellow cab driver who agreed to drop me to the venue. </span><br />

I received a warm welcome from Team Monkey Bar. I could already spot some of my blogger friends chilling by then. Yes, I was late but I was not the only one to be late. All thanks to the weather, people took a long time to reach Monkey Bar. Yet, there was a palpable excitement :)</span></span><br />

The menu is quirky, surprising and innovative. So while you have a mezze platter, you will also find Kerala Rice salad( a concoction of </span><span lang="EN-IN"><span style="font-size: large;">Baby spinach, red rice, raw mango, coconut, peanuts and upmensinkai; imagine having rice for salad !!). To soothe the bong taste buds they have tikki of joy - Kolkata inspired fish cutlets with kasundi and mint chutney. My favourites were the chicken chapli - galouti kebabs served on mini slices of parathas with onions and mint chutney; Butter Chicken Khchdi - Just imagine two comfort food in one : Butter chicken and khichdi. It was just the perfect dish for a rainy evening. Comes very very close to the Bhuna khichdi of Oudh !! It was yum :) Another superhit dish was the Tiger beef - soft, juicy and spicy beef dish - a preparation that is just my kind of dish. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

The body of the lip crayons give out the shade so you don't really have to hunt for a particular shade in a stack.</span></div>

The best part is they are comfortable on the lips and you don't have to worry about the colour settling in between the lines in case you have dry lips, like I do :( </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. 2-3 swipes give a nice colour</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">5. The range has a shade to suit all skin tones - from nudes to pinks to reds</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">6. The colours don't bleed </span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. I feel the lip crayons are priced slightly on the higher side</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">2. The lip colour wears off too fast, though the moisturising effect lingers on</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">I must congratulate FACES Canada for introducing creme lip crayons when the makeup world is going nuts over matte ones. But these are a boon for those with dry lips :)</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have always complained about the absence of good eating joints in my area - Nagerbazar.There have been times when I have just wanted to eat out with my family without having to travel much, but have been left with very few options. Yes, you have the Arsalans, The Aminias and the Alibabas for the biriyani lover, but what about other cuisines? I guess Kasturi has been able to meet my demand somehow.</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">It was good to see a popular food chain opening here in Dum Dum. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">A lot of my foodie friends had suggested dishes I must try when at Kasturi. The most popular amongst them were 'sheelebata chicken' and 'kochupata bhapa chingri'. Honestly, I was the idea of shelebata chicken excited me. ( If I translate this literally, it should mean chicken grinded with spices and cooked). </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I went there on a Sunday afternoon and had to wait in a queue for around 15-20 mins to get a seat. When we entered, we realized this one is a no frills kind of place which takes its food very seriously. We saw a lot of families concentrating on their Sunday lunch.</span></span><br />

But I was in for a big disappointment when they told me that the sheelebata chicken isn't available. :( Thankfully, they had kochupata chingri bhapa. We ordered for shona mug dal, bhetki paturi(bhetki steamed in a mustard, coconut paste wrapped in banana leaves) and begun , bori diye pabda jhol( pabda cooked in gravy with eggplant) and chutney. Initially they told even the pabda jhol won't be available but thankfully they arranged for it later on, coz I wanted my dad to have a light gravy rather than having too much of mustard and coconut.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First things first, the food was yum. Even the simple dal was delicious. And this is coming from a person who is not a dal fan. My favourite amongst the lot was the kochupata diye chingri bhapa. This was the first time I was tasting kochupata as I am not too fond of green leafy vegetables. And I have to admit that I liked it. The flavours of the dish were distinct with a strong aroma of mustard oil. Similarly the papda curry was a good dish to have. However, the bhetki paturi was not upto the mark. The fish wasn't juicy enough and did not taste that good. We teamed all this with steamed rice. The chutney was hit with my parents. They also have good deals on thalis if you want to try out all things bengali :P</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">T</span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">he management of Kasturi should work on making the popular dishes available on any given day. The managers here mentioned that some dishes come from the main outlet and hence the availability is limited. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span> <span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The decor is not very fancy with walls being done with up with images of noteworthy individuals of both East and West Bengal, thereby implying the fact that this is a popular restaurant serving Dhakai Cuisine in Kolkata. The seating area is a little cramped but going by the amount of the people waiting in a queue, I guess this is justified. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Kasturi is a no frills restaurant, hence you can't really expect flawless service. But they can definitely work on it. When it comes to food, they win hands down. I am definitely going back for the sheelebata chicken :) You must try this reastarnt for a simple bong lunch!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Road trips are amazing ! The speeding cars, the lovely outskirts, the music, books and the constamt munching appeals to me. The amazing dhaba and roadside food is something which I look forward to during all my trips. Every location has it's own special flavour which captures the cultural background of the area. Streetfood and dhaba food are a discovery in itself.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Novotel Kolkata Hotel & Residences has recreated the experience of the busy Kolkata - Delhi NH2 highway with this food festival in Kolkata itself. It is amazing to see the sincere effort and creative thinking the Chefs have put into this festival.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">Each and every dish has been carefully chosen and involves a lot of background research. Very rarely will you find litti chokha, mutton gurda keema, butter chicken, aloo bhujiya, Kolkata style mutton biriyani, egg tarka, tandoori chicken as a part of a single food festival. Novotel Kolkata always has a great salad spread. Their salad spread also got a desi twist with this festival with kachumber, fish tikka with tomato salsa, Indian style jhinga salad etc. What's more, you have a maggi stall which has Parle G biscuits and mango bite toffee in jars . It sure brings back some lovely memories :)</span><br />
