Lazy Sunday @ Dear Chandigarh 

Chandigarh derives its name from the temple of "Chandi Mandir" located in the vicinity of the site selected for the city. The City representative of modern architecture and town planning, created by French architect Le Corbusier came into existence on November 1 1966.

It’s located on the foot hills of Shivalik  range making it one of the most beautiful cities in the world.Chandigarh has since developed into a multicultural city attracting top Bureaucrats,Army Veterans ,Educationists as its early inhabitants.

Now it’s a bustling city with a population of approximately 10.54 lacs & being an education hub it has a lot of youngsters who not only make it a lively city but also attracts a lot of service sector professionals.

We often find people coming to Chandigarh complaining of not able to spend  quality time on a Sunday.

Leave house at 8:00 am rent one of the smart bikes  available at major intersections of the city and drive straight to sector 9 @ Backpackers café and order a Masala Omelette , Pasta salad with a latte, this place is one of the most sought after cafes & they not only serve delicious breakfasts but also incredible shakes

Post breakfast one should peddle his bike straight to Zakir Rose Garden spread over 30 acres & which boasts of more than 825 varieties of roses is not only beautiful but also is a peaceful sojourn from normal day chores.One should in his bag carry books ,a mat some water though there are many beautiful places but i suggest you to find a place  near a quaint  milk bar and indulge yourself into a fantasy world of reading ,you should also try chilled elaichi milk from the milk bar nearby while enjoying your read , one will often hear cuckoo birds chirping in the trees may get distracted by the fragrant breeze and can hear a faint waterfall from the fountain nearby, my experience says that time flies in this activity and after a brief saunter in the garden one should ride his bike for the luncheon.

Garg Chat

I will suggest you to visit sector 23 and make your bike stop at Garg Chat Bhandar , it’s the oldest chat shop of the town and currently being run by the 3rd generation of the family, you should start by savouring the delicious Golgappas followed by Papri chat & still if you have some space left in your stomach have some of the delicious Paneer tikkas served by them & believe me you will have a most mouth watering culinary experience.

Post an all -encompassing lunch ,ride your bike on a picturesque road with mountains in the background & passing through the lush green leisure valley , Rock Garden all the way to Sukhna lake , after a short stroll ,take a boat ride, not only you will be able to digest your spicy meal but will experience long stretch of solitude which one always longs for, post ride the clock would already have ticked 5 pm , time to take your bike back home and relax.

Multiplex Business : Walking A Tight Rope

  India is a country of cinemas. It produces almost more than 2000 movies each year in various languages. Indian cinema is a global enterprise. However, currently it is going through an evolution where the movie industry is shifting from the single screen movie theatres to multiplex. Research has shown that from the 1970s cinemas were no longer attracting proper audience. During the 1980s the general middle class people were not at all seen in the theatres they preferred only those halls which were within their colonies. This downshifting trend of the movie industry which continued for almost two decades had led to the appearance of multiplex, which could provide a suitable environment for theatrical experience of the middle class people. The arrival of multiplex changed the way of watching movies. Now it has better sound, picture quality, seating arrangement, availability of good snacks and beverages, also the convenience of shopping in case of shopping mall multiplexes. Blooming of

Smoking in The Hinterlands Of Hindustan

History Of Smoking In India When I visited gallery of Harappan Civilization at the National Museum, New Delhi. Among the artifacts, I saw a small 'chillum' (hand-held twin pipe) similar to that 'sadhus' (wandering Hindu monks) use in smoking 'charas' (hand-made hashish) and 'ganja' (marijuana).  As far as I know, no-one has reported evidence of drugs from the Indus civilization, although there is no reason why they should not have been used. Cannabis is native to South Asia and is mentioned in the Vedas. Its use was reasonably widespread in the ancient world. Herodotus records that the Scythians has special tents in which people inhaled the fumes from cannabis heated on a tripod. Discoveries in the steppe nomad burials at Pazyryk bear this out. Braziers from the 5th millennium Balkans and from various periods elsewhere in Europe may have been used for heating cannabis or poppy heads. Poppies, the source of opium, were used in Europe from the Neolithic
