cafe d'art

cafe d'art...literally translated would mean,coffee of art...another way o interpreting it...art of coffee ....
well the name sure sounds "zara hatke"...
a cafe ,located here, in hyderabad..have no clue watsoever , if its a chain of coffee pubs...
neverthless a nice place to visit...
ambience...tastefully done...soothing to the eyes n mind...
a very formal setup , methinks...
for a "gawar" like me....toooooo sophisticated ;)
methinks an ideal ambience for the oldies....no jarring music, glaring interiors, flashy furniture....
mmhh coming to the food and coffee...
well the deserts look very appealing and is indeed quite delicious[ slurp]
coffee...well i ordered for a hot chocolate...which was far from being hot...
methinks hot has a different meaning.....
and now to the imp part o it...how big a hole will the visit mk...
a pretty visible hole....methinks the place is xpensive...all the more cos it doesnt seem worth it!!!
methinks one can visit cafe d'art atleast once....

15 park avenue.....a must c !!!

mmhh jus watched 15 park avenue, an aparna sen's movie....though pretty late in the day....but hey better late than never :)
15 park avenue's bout a schizophrenic konkana sen[me thinks one helluva actor...simbly outstanding] lost in her small little world of her husband jojo[ rahul bose...the oh so talented actor] and their maaaaany kids....15 park avenue is that locality of calcutta which exists only for meethi[ as konkana's called]... a figment of her imagination! ...its her place of abode.... a place she is constantly in search for....a place which she finally finds....
the movie is much more than jus schizophrenia ,though....its about the emotions that come into play...about the mental make up that is required to take care of such affected people....the patience and love needed at all times despite the stress that one undergoes....
its a challenge that one is forced to take up .....a smile that surfaces after some effort...
the picture is truly poignant... a sure must watch...
also a must watch for the excellent performence by konkana sen, shabani azmi, rahul bose....gosh i find it so difficult to choose...the starcast was simbly superb...each one living up to their role!
go watch it, ul agree with moi;)
