Buckets And Tuckets-- A Disaster!

Buckets: Stuffed vegetables/chicken and rice in buckets of various sizes.

Tuckets: Rolled sandwiches just like the ones you would get in Subway.

An attractive name, a new concept but the fellows behind the counter could not harness it well. We generally drop a mail a few hours before we go for the review, but this time we thought we would surprise them but in turn got surprised!  We asked for Harayalli Paneer and walked out with the tubs wanting to find something new.

The person at the counter had convinced us by saying that it would contain a layer of rice, gravy and paneer, but we could find only rice in there, two pieces of Paneer (yes, we did count) and no gravy. Even the rice was horrible and stale, Airlines do serve better rice than the one in the bucket.  We went   back and confronted him, he gave around 30ml of ‘gravy’ (No, this one is an approximation) which looked more like ‘Panni’ of ‘Panni Puri’. We managed somehow . For Rs.99+taxes I better have a McVeggie happy meal!

My Game, My Victory.

When the batsmen enter the ground,

Its our heart beats which pound,

They are gonna start the mission,

But its us who make the roaring sound

When holding the bat, the batsman takes his stance,

When the first ball, the baller plans,

In our hearts, its us balling, its us batting,

Its our heart, which is pounding.

They strategise, its they who start,

The game's on the field, but the action's in our heart.

When the ball leaps out of the ballers hand,

The heart leaps out of our chest, in the stands,

When with the first shot, the ball goes cracking,

We are the ones nervous, the ones who are perspiring!

When the ball travels through the air towards the fielder,

The fielder brings his hands together, to take the catch,

Its us whose mouth keeps opening far and wider,

And then closes with a smile once the ball rests in his hands..

Duke's Raspberry And Ice Cream Soda Review

Dukes Raspberry:

Let us start by discribing a scenario for you to imagine. Imagine yourself in an arid desert. With unbearable heat, nothing to drink, you are completely dehydrated, and just then you see a shining bottle of Dukes Lemonade Raspberry in front of you. Trust us, you'll be better off without anything in the said situation. Okay, I exaggerated. But that thing tastes like a cough syrup! Once you drink it, Although we would not be mentioning it here, you'll also be able to name the brand too! We would rate it 1 out of 5.


Dukes Ice Cream Soda:

Dukes ice cream flavour soda comes with a striking packing which will never fail to attract your eyes at the "Wednesday" bazaar. This is something new. Not absolutely tasty or breathtaking, but decent enough. The ice cream flavour per se is a difficult thing to achieve, and Dukes have explored it in a very good way according to me. I would rate it at 2 and a half out of 5. If look at the images, it is noticeable that the Ice Cream Soda Flavour has been finished by us but the Raspberry has been left for the future games of "Truth And Dare". Have you tested them yet? Speculate us with comments below! 

Ishaqzaade: "Ishq" Zyaada Story Kaam

(Courtesy: Yash Raj Films)

Personally, I am a big fan of "gunda" (hooligan/goons) movies, and if the main leads die in the end, I'll be in love with it! Although Ishaqzaade didn't exactly make me fall in love with it, as it managed to make other teenagers. 

Ishaqzaade is a simple story amongst the backdrop of trigger-happy goons (read politicians) with strong – headed and dogmatic people of the North going all out to kill their own kith and kin. It takes us to a rural place in UP, which, like many other places in India, is triggered with politics.


The protagonist, Parma (Arjun Kapoor), is a hot headed, ruthless quintessential grandchild of a local corporator standing for elections from the Chaudhari's (Hindu side) who, in one scene, burns of the entire oil shop of a man just because he asked him to flee from the Qureshi's (the Muslim party). And Zoya (Parineeti Chopra) is a free spirited, wild (non cheesy way!) beautiful tomboy who once wants to run for the elections like her father and become a mla. She's from the family of Qureshis, and as you may have guessed, the two sides are at logger heads with one another. Oh, and by the way, every character in the two families is trigger happy, although the director seems to have refrained from a lot of bloody, gory scenes, thankfully! The characterization is really commendable.

India Pet-Trolled With Hike At Rs.7.50

It happens with people on Twitter in India; whenever they see a figure trending, they think it’s another scam’s cover blowing up. But this time "Rs.7.50" trending was not a scam but a hike announced by the oil companies. The hike was a nationwide narration and this step had to be taken due to the depreciation of the Indian Rupee in the world markets and the increase in VAT for fuel this financial year. The rupee on Monday fell to Rs. 55 to the United States Dollar against Rs. 46 last year. This subjected to a loss of Rs. 72,000 crore on account of rupee depreciation this year for the oil companies.

If the stats are correct, the oil companies, which had in the fiscal ending March 31, 2012 lost Rs. 4,860 crore on petrol sales, are now losing Rs. 6.28 a litre, making petrol valuable for Mumbaikars at Rs. 78.14 per litre. In Kolkata, the increase will be Rs. 7.85 per litre. Delhities would now have to pay Rs.73.14 a litre and Chennai would have to give out Rs.77.05 per litre. Be ready to shell out an extra buck or two if you prefer treat your vehicle with premium refined oil.
