Yes there are lot of limitations to work in a kitchen also to cook foods in a fast paced train is an uphill task but we look it elegant.

Where from you shop your ingredients for the classy foods?

We pick them up from all corners of India especially the spices are very carefully selected. The meat products are always fresh and we don’t believe much in freezing of food products as it destroys the taste of foods. Meat products are generally made available from foreign countries.

What is the work force behind this great effort?

We are an enthusiastic team of around 15 members who works for around 8 hours a day. We make all fresh foods and never recycle foods.

Heart of Incredible India is where, I lost my heart not to an enamoring Delhi girl but to its dawn to dusk myriad beauties … Mughal redolent, Colonial fragrance, breeze of striking modernity, time – honored evocative, spicy snacks, delicious cuisines, extravagant shopping carnivals are the elements where my heart is struck & trapped…

Ice cream we scream was all childhood days but still in the core of my heart am a big lover of Ice-creams… Let me share an experience of Delhi sight-seeing tours with all fervent fans of Ice creams…

Traffic, red lights, blowing of horns, hundreds of slow yet steady motion motorcades, and an exhausted, sleepy traveler… It was not the end to the unexpected misery as amidst sleep the belly felt the urge to relish on the mouth watering street foods of Delhi… Street food in the midst of a merging traffic…

However, the driver came as a savior and he drove me to a small fast food shop crowded with hungry baskets… I was so hungry that I jumped out of the car and rushed towards the small colorful entrance to try out something… Deep thought was rising in my mind must be a far famed food court so many crowds and people waiting for their chance…

Roshan Di Kulfi that’s what they call this full of life eating hub but I was surprised to see people were savoring Kulfi even when they have no place to seat… My driver accompanied me to explain its legendary status and I could well rationally justify by the energetic rush of people about its testimony of legendary reputation.

The Ice cream parlor was famous for its kulfi, chhole bhature, aloo tikki, dahi bhalle, papdi bhalle and Delhi chat. I ordered almost all that I could possibly eat and they could serve. It was a delicious culinary journey of spicy, tangy, sour, & sweet flavors that I ever experienced in my world tour…

The 22^nd century may leave with six wonders of the world… The warnings were not taken seriously… The world will never feel the tangible presence of the embodiment of true love the Taj Mahal in Agra if facts are to be believed… Like the extinct Dinosaurs, Taj will also be confined to pictures of erstwhile epoch… A sad end to Taj though not inevitable but is approaching fast, can the Archaeological Survey of India challenge this legend or myth of the medieval age… All heavens wishes to the Archaeological Survey of India, for their time defying act to conserve one of the seven wonder of the world…

This UNESCO world heritage site located at the azure banks of river Yamuna exemplifies the never dying love tale between Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan and Mumtaz… The temple of love & grief is a memorial stone to tribute the beauty of Mumtaz that exhibits the stunning Indo-Islamic architecture and Persian art works a blend nowhere to witness…

The structural wonder was a perfect touch of the artisans of the golden era and the wonder was a methodical greatness of architecture as well as designers. Inspite of utmost care, measures, precautions, uniform distribution of weights it failed to stop from degrading. One sunny day cracks started to appear even before the completion of four years of Taj Mahal and was repaired after Aurangzeb commissioned in his letter… But in the year 1810 severe cracks reappeared and the Taj was slanting towards the water’s edge… Though the interior is intact and with modern day science as well as all hard work of ASI we have battle out the initial danger… Yet slowly Taj is shifting towards the riverside further weakening the cracks and no apparent reason for its sinking apart from an excessive weight.

But it’s the dusk of a long wintry night and a long way to go… What if one day you awake up to hear that Taj is no more? So be a part of the proudest creation of human on earth and especially if you love your beloved more than your life. If you are an ardent fan of luxury and want to discover the myths of Taj amidst lavishness embark on a journey of Indian Maharaja train a true life of Mughal Emperor.

Artisans Appreciated By Amputation of Hands… Poetic Justice… Sinking of Taj…
