 DE PAUL'S
JANPATH, CP
A long time back when CCD, Barista,Mocha and a gourmet o cafes dint exist, the owner of a small shop stocked half with cosmetics in the main market of Janpath decided to stock COFFEE! and Yes! that was a revolution! A new beggining to the the making of coffee lovers.
This is not just coffee, its an experience. You can go on drinking the coffee, bottle after bottle, but the taste is addictive! Literally...If you haven't tried their coffee you have missed out on probably the best coffee in Delhi
Can be found at : Janpath Main Market, GK-I , M block market, DLF Place Shopping Mall-Saket & Galleria Market- Gurgaon
 BOMBAY BHEL PURI
SOUTH EX I
South Extension Market can easily be categoraised as one of the high end market of Delhi Page 3 crowd doing rounds daily. However in one of the corner you' can find vendors selling Bhelpuri and Sevpuri, and damned right! They serve you with the best Bhelpuri you'd ever have! Although there is no shortage of Bhelpuri vendors in Delhi,South Extension Bombay Bhelpuri is truly a league of its own.
 NIZAM's KATHI ROLLS
H-BLOCK CP
If you enjoy Kathi Kebabs, this is the place for you! Nizam's is a legendary place, serving rolls which do complete justice to all the hype surrounding it.
Coming down to the Kathi Rolls. They are essentially, scrumptious pieces of flesh swathed in a maida parantha and dripping with oil accompanied with its soul mates - mint chutney and fine sliced onions. The chicken/mutton is extremely soft and fresh.The flavours are pleasing and very fulfilling!
 BITTU TIKKI WALA
A.K.A. BTW,
RANI BAGH,PITAMPURA
This is one of those stories of rags to riches. Bittoo Tikki Wala (or BTW, as the logo and the shirts of the staff read) started with a couple of roadside carts being put up here, and his tikki was wonderful. So people kept coming,....Very big portions, Tikki fried just right, no excess oil and yummy embellishments,makes BTW probably the most popular Tikki wallas in Delhi
 WENGERS
A BLOCK (INNER CIRCLE) CP
The English Man's Bakery, Wengers tops the list when it comes to desserts. From English Bums to Strawberry Tarts, Napoleon Pastries to Mango Panacottas & Macroons, if you have a sweet tooth, a visit to Wengers is a must! The only advice- try to head there by
mid afternoon, because everything here sells faster than its prepared.

THE BEER PRAYER
Our Lager
Which art in barrels
Hallowed by thy drink,
At clubs as in the traven
Give us this day our foamy head
And forgive us for our spillages
As we forgive those who spill against us
And lead us not to incarcereation
But deliver us from hangovers
For thine is the beer
The bitter & the lager
Forever & ever
BARMEN!  Clever
This is when you suddenly become an expert on every subject in the known universe. You know you know everything and you want to pass on your knowledge to anyone who will listen. At this stage you are always right. And, of course, the person you are talking to is very wrong. This takes for an interesting argument when both parties are CLEVER
 Attractive
This is when you realise that you are the most ATTRACTIVE person in the entire bar and that everyone fancies you. You can go up to a perfect stranger knowing that they fancy you and really want to talk to you. Bear in mind that you are still CLEVER, so you can talk to this person about any subject under the sun
 Rich
This is when you suddenly become the RICHEST person in the room. You can buy drinks for the entire bar because you have a bottomless wallet. You can also make bets at this stage, because of course you are still CLEVER so, naturally, you will always win. Anyway, it doesn't matter how much you bet because you are RICH. You will also buy drinks for everyone that you fancy, in the knowledge that you are clearly the most ATTRACTIVE person present
Invincible:
You are now ready to pick fights with anyone and everyone, especially those with whom you have been betting or arguing. This is because you are now INVINCIBLE. At this point you can also go up to the partners of the people who you fancy and challenge them to a battle of wits or strength. You have no fear of losing this battle, because as well as being INVINCIBLE you are CLEVER, you're RICH and you're more ATTRACTIVE than them anyway
Invisible:
This is the final stage of drunkenness. At this point you can do anything, because you are now INVISIBLE. You can dance on a table to impress the people who you fancy because the rest of the people in the room cannot see you. You can also snog the face off them for the same reason. You are also INVISIBLE to the people who want to fight you. You can walk through the street singing at the top of your lungs because no one can see or hear you and because you're still CLEVER you know all the words.
So you decided to throw a House Party, which is pretty mad of you, but now that you are at it how do you make sure that its not a complete flop show?
There is nothing better than throwing a simple old fashioned house party for two basic reasons-The Party Atmosphere & Saving Money.You however might think that throwing a house party is as simple as inviting friends over,tearing open a few bag of chips and opening a few bottles of beer,BUT its not tht simple. It requires a lot of planning, organising and skills. So what are those things you need to get right so that people are talking about your party for ages to come- that too for all the right reasons!? Here are some tips to get you started-
 CHOOSING A GUEST LIST
Before deciding who is going to make it on your guest list you need to decide how many people to invite according your budget. You also need to make sure there is adequate space for everyone to move around, sit down when they break off into groups and also an area to dance.
While deciding whom to call you can either opt for Invite-Only or Public party. Invite-Only could include close friends,colleagues,family and all those other people whom you are familiar with. However if you want it to be a social affair you can make it public, ask your friends to tag people along and even post about it on social sites such as facebook.
 PICK A THEME!
Theme Parties are always fun! Its a great way to get everyone excited,bring them together and it allows your guesto to mingle easily and let go of their inhibitions. However chosing a wrong theme can have its own downside
Make sure to run your idea of which theme to chose by your close friends before finalising on one. Once the theme is picked out, planning your party becomes easier as you can mix & match everything right from the food to the decor as well as the lighting according to the theme. This will make it not only much more fun but memorable for a long time.
 GETTING THE MUSIC RIGHT
Another extremely important aspect of a great party is getting the music right. Whether the music is in syncc with your theme or not, you should still create a playlist beforehand or ask one of your more capable friends to do so
Knowing the kind of music that your guests trip on is always an advantage.Start with something light but upbeat and when the energies are high get your guests swaying to your best tunes
 DECIDE THE MENU!
You want CHIPS & BEER at all times on the table. Make sure you always have a few extra crates of beer and chips stocked up.
The number of people you invite will automatically decide your budget for the food and the drinks. However if you want to save a bit you can make it BYOB (Bring Your Own Booze) specially if its an informal affair. Also instead of going for heavy food try and stick to munchies or finger foods. You dont want your guests gulping jars of alcohol with heavy food and throwing up all over.
DURING THE PARTY MAKE SURE OF THE FOLLOWING- CLEAN THE HOUSE
- WARN THY NEIGHBOURS (YOU DONT WANT THEM NAGGING LATER ON)
- LOCK THE ROOMS YOU DONT WANT PEOPLE TO USE & HIDE AWAY THE VALUABLES.
- MAKE A FEW DRINKS
- MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS INVOLVED & IS HAVING A GOOD TIME
Things you need to have the best house party ever:
- Music - Dance music, not Beatles or anything else you may have on your ipod
- Alcohol - This will get people in a happy mood
- People - Most imporant, fun people
- Food - If people get hungry
- Chips - Just a bowl with chips for snacks
- Cards - For drinking games
- Fridge with space - So people can have their alcohol
- Clean bathroom - Obviously
- Atleast 1 free room - For people to have a break from your awesome party
Am sure you've been caught up not once but a in a thread of situations where she said something and you just couldnt infer her the way she wanted you to infer her. And thus the Arguments Started! Followed by drama no lesser than a bollywood flick and a sea of tears.
So to make it a bit simpler what women say and what they really trully mean we;ve jotted down a couple of the typical girl PHRASES that you should familiarise yourself with
1.ITS YOUR DECISION OR ITS UPTO YOU
Of course it is upto you whether you go along with her decsion right away or after she's yelled at you,thrown a couple of dishes and broken your much beloved Xbox!
POINT TO BE NOTED: If she adds a Man or Dude to the Phrase : ITS UPTO YOU or ITS YOUR DECISION you better go along with what she says. A woman shall address you as "Man" only when she's pissed.
Example: WHATEVER "MAN!"
GO DIE "MAN"
ITS YOUR DECISION "MAN"
2.DO YOU THINK AM FAT?
The answer to this question is neither Yes Nor No.
LOGIC:
The Best PossibleWay to Tackle this Question is to Tell her that She Looks HOT!( cuddling while saying this would help) and That if she Gained another 10 Kgs she'd sttill be the hottest thing around.
THE LINE THATS WINS ALL THE BROWNIE POINTS:
" I WISH YOU'D GAIN A FEW 20 KGS OR SO !THAT WAY I'D HAVE TO STOP LOOKING OUT FOR YOU ALL THE TIME!"
3. SURE GO AHEAD.....
YOU DONT WANNA GO AHEAD WHEN SHE SAYS THOSE 3 WORDS!
All women are fluent in sarcasm. Its vile and poisonous and can lead to a series of lonely nights. So when she tells you To GO Ahead, you want to sit back and let her have her way.
4. DO YOU LOVE ME?
"Of course I do" is not the most appropriate answer. Best way to tackle this question is by buying her the Jimmy Choos and the Pradas of the World and complementing her and telling her That She's The Perfect Women for YOU.
5.WE NEED TO TALK
In simple words she's trying to tell you that she's got some problems with you and your behaviour and that she's about to nag for the next 2 hours. "YOU DONT LOVE ME" is the best tactic line she would gradually use to slay you ,so you need to handle her with care.
 6. NOTHING! FORGET IT
This is an implication that you have done something wrong and you just need to figure that wrongt out!
SIMPLE RULE FOR GUYS
" A NEW STUDY FOUND THAT MEN WHO WEAR PINK TEND TO EARN MORE ..MUCH MUCH MORE THAN THOSE WHO OPT FOR TRADITIONAL COLORS"  YOU ARE A GUY. WHO LIKES TO WEAR PINK. BUT YOU CANT WEAR PINK .YOU THINK PEOPLE WOULD LAUGH AT YOUR EXPENSE.BECAUSE YOU WORE PINK!
WE GIVE YOU REASONS WHY YOU NEED TO HEAD TO THE MALL AND PINK OUT A COUPLE OF PINK SHIRTS:
GIRLS LOVE IT!
Women identify with men wearing pink as sensitive,confident and in touch with their emotional needs. Those are the values women definitely find attractive in men.Its also a great way to fetch compliments from women and seek their attention Thus if you wear pink and you forget to open the door for
her or are an hour late for your date, you are definitely excused.
 ITS A GREAT OPENER
Pink is a great way to get to know the new hottie that you have been eyeing for a while. Mentioning that you are a supporter of Breast Cancer is the cherry on the cake.( YES PINK RIBBONS ARE A SIGN OF SUPPORT FOR BREAST CANCER)
 ITS GOOD FOR THE BUSINESS
That's right, it may actually help you in business. Psychological research studies have shown the color pink to have a calming effect. It relaxes people allowing them to put their guard down. During tough negotiations you need all the help you can get
 BECAUSE THEY LOOK GOOD IN IT
Most men have a perception that pink is a color for women or that it makes them look Gay. NOT TRUE! Men look good in pink, If you can get your ear pierced, wear a huge ring or a stud n not feel Gay, then there is nothing that a Pink shirt would do to test your masculinity.
A tiny life you held in your arm
a tear rolled down your cheek you called her your charm;
you cuddled her and cradled her to sleep
a new feeling born within you so warm and deep;
you taught her to speak ,you taught her to crawl
and when she took her first step you dint let her fall
First day of school all she did was cry
you got down on your knees and wiped her cheek dry;
you took her shopping and pretty dresses you brought
dressed always in the best of the entire lot;
during the swimming lessons, you sat watching her learn in the heat
and ever time she messed a stroke your heart missed a beat.
Middle school she entered, primary school she bid goodbye
she had grown up by now, you wondered where did the time fly;
come teenage years, she extensively fought with you
you wanted to do her good, but how you had no clue;
she hung out with friends, the day she said she dint need you around
the mother in you hurt, you feelings just drowned;
yet as a mother the love you constantly felt
so you bore her anger and her tantrums with which you somehow dealt
She's all grown up , she's a young woman now
but you do not care, she's you baby still somehow;
you still stroke her head and hum when she goes to sleep
the feeling over the years have grown warmer and more deep;
you still wipe her tear when she's sad
you protect her from the evil and from all that's bad;
you are her angel, your fragrance is so sweet and strong
when in your arms the world's perfect ,there is nothing wrong;
that she is me and believe me when i say every moment with you is so loving and warm
no one ever replace you... i love you so much MOM
