Cafe Review: Cuppa Java
As we mentioned in this post before, the visit to Cuppa Java was a part of the plan to hit as many interesting places in the city possible, to celebrate 11th’s ‘Eat what you want day‘. We visited ‘Victoria Junction‘ first, and then, went to ‘Cuppa Java‘, adjacent to it. We have had some experiences...

Eatery Review: Victoria Junction
Our main intention was to celebrate ‘Eat what you want day’ in as good a way as possible. And what can be better than to hit new eateries in town and eat what all you want! Yesterday was the day we are mentioning here, and two of our team members took up the aim of...

Gig Review: Solo performances by Durjoy Choudhury
As we slowly and languidly entered the mall, faint traces of a harmonica accompanied by the strumming of an acoustic guitar touched us. It reminded me of my childhood days when I heard Bob Dylan for the first time in a local radio channel. We were unaware of the event, instead met with it quite...

Gig Review: Underground Authority
Unlike the previous years, this year’s SITEX holds the credit of not going for typical mono-lingual bands (like Fossils, Prithibi etc.). Instead, we were given the promise that we will be given the chance to see the performance of ‘Underground Authority‘, a newly formed band from Kolkata, the members of which like to call their...

Gig Review: Euphoric Amateurs
A music group when is formed by six guys who are close friends makes it special. ‘Euphoric Amateurs‘ is one such. We knew about them going for the big kill this time during Extravaganza ’11. Preliminarily it was supposed to be during the band blasts (an intra-college competition of rock bands). But the passion that...

Restaurant Review: KFC, Siliguri
When the idea of reviewing KFC came to my mind, my initial response was: “Why? Don’t I have better things to do? Other unknown, unpredictable restaurants to review?“ Frankly speaking, I didn’t want to get the review done seriously because KFC is so predictable. Everyone knows how the food is supposed to taste, how the...
