Bombay Bronx Bambaiyya Ishtyle

We spent a laid back noon Bambaiyya Ishtyle in all it senses in Pune. 

Yes you heard me right. Bombay Bronx is everything Bambaiyya and more. It is Bombay 100 percent undiluted. 

Bombay Bronx brings the vibe and soul of Mumbai alive in the heart of Pune. A little Bombay with high voltage to your senses right in Pune. 

You step foot in right in to the Mumbai local and from here starts your journey. 

Attention to the minutest of detail is given over here. 

The ambience for sure is class apart, you simply can't ask for more. Right from the train compartments to the Kolhi fisher womens adorning the wall with their backless cholis, gajras and voluptuous booty dressed immaculately in colorful drapes with baskets of fish on their head, the paan tapri wala in the corner, the taxi tables, Bombay da bad, movie posters, cassettes, drums of oil mills or the big b stretching himself completely on one huge wall. Yeh hai Mumbai meri Jaan no doubt 👍😊 

One corner is adorned by the Thelas of all street food and we are greeted with Jaljeera and Aam Panna. 

Why don't I show you - 

The chaat wala , you can't stop having I bet was really nice 👍

Welcome drinks in the cute cut glasses 

Starters just poured in loved the chicken schezuan. 

The kothimbir vadis were completely authentic 

The Tawa counter- kheema pav, pav bhaji, burji pav, Tawa pulav ,, overwhelming Bombay street food 

Bombay sandwiches 

The main course included one non veg and veg, with dessert, roti rice dal, as well as the salad bar. 

However this is what took the show away . 

Trade everything for their amazing mouthwatering drinks any day. 

Red Peru vodka, Jal jeera whiskey, Kokum vodka and my favourite Aam Panna vodka. 

This place truly rocks for the ambience, drinks and the tantalising bite food. 

It's a must try on every liquor lovers list. The music the ambience and the cocktails make you swoon and forget everything. 

The afternoon Buffet for approximately 380 INR is a steal .  An afternoon full of Bombay food, it's like eat till you drop. 

Thanks for inviting us Minoti Makim and Bombay Bronx, we had a good time with fellow bloggers. 

The evening scenes are definitely happening with a different vibe all together and next weekend this is where you will find me on a drunken Friday night 😉❤️

An Interview with Blogger, Bhakti Khade Rangoonwala of “Pink And Everything That Girls Want“

Thanks for taking the time to chat with SIW. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your blog.     

Bhakti : I am a creative soul and wanderer by heart. I am a believer. I see art in all aspects of life. I believe Life is a beautiful adventure and one has to live it and cherish it and not just exist. I want to make my adventure as memorable as possible as its one life that we get and so much beauty , wonder and goodness around, I want to take in all that I can and more. I love nature and outdoors, fresh air, gurgling stream, mountain, waves always excite me. Traveling far and wide and witnessing and unraveling the beauty is what I live for. A family person by heart, I cannot live without my loved ones. Neither can I live without my hobbies, being reading, writing, making journals, photography, painting, poetry.

Travelling is my passion.

What makes your blog so unique and why should people read it?          

Bhakti : My blog isn’t a guidebook or tutorials, it’s basically snippets from my life along with things I believe in. It’s an amalgamation of everything what life offers, the goodness of it all with a pinch of salt. my travelogues, small things, happiness, casual fashion, diy, simple style, pieces of poetry, sketches, things that I do and don’t and many other things make the material for my blog. It’s the little things on day to day basis, it’s like listening to a friend or reading a journal and who doesn’t like some snippets on daily life with friends. The writing is very light and short. it’s like talking to the girl next door with your daily cup of tea.

How often do you blog?              

Bhakti : I blog like 6 times a Month, give or take. I try to be consistent in my blogging but yes sometimes life does catch in and I do go small hiatus. Then there is a writers block, where in I just need a break.

Blogging is a methodical creative aspect which certainly requires lot of time, energy and efficiency.

What has been your most successful blog post to date and what was it about?

Bhakti : My most successful blog post has been about – a very lengthy and full-fledged post on sarees in India and different ways to wear them. It was followed closely by other fashion and travelogues.

What do you find most challenging about blogging?     

Bhakti : Not getting in a rut. Blogging is all about reinventing your thoughts which shows in your writing. Not getting intimidated by fellow bloggers and keeping it original.

What are some of your favorite author blogs and why?

Bhakti : Kelsey Bang for her simple style and writing.

Bows and Sequins for the instant pop of bling

Bruised Passports completely boho gypsy at heart

What I wore again for simplicity

Jseverydayfashion

ForestFeast  for the touch of nature.

What are your favorite books that you would recommend SIW family?

Bhakti : Twilight series for the dose of romance and magic

The Secret by Rhonda Byrne

The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

P.S I Love You by Cecelia Ahern

Can we really make a living by Blogging? If yes, how we can do that?

Bhakti : I blog because I like to write and document small things I want to say. However I have realized that Blogging is definitely a big platform to make money but for that one needs to be consistent in writing. The matter, your style has to be original. The readers understand the difference. One can have a niche blog related to one aspect and then if the blog is really good with powerful content and good reader base the offers will come for advertisements, for product reviews , sponsored posts, the options are unlimited.

What advice would you give to young women readers of SIW who want to follow a similar career path as you?               

Bhakti : Stay consistent, have patience, nothing happens overnight. Be original and connect to your readers rest all will follow.

Fake it or Shake it...

I don't understand those who keep complaining and cribbing about people and then mingling with the same with such gusto and enthusiasm as if they are best of friends.

I do not say one should go name calling and be rude to people if you do not like them. 

In every person there are qualities that you don't like, which you need to live with and compromise if you like the person.

But to completely dislike a person and fake a relationship(shrugs).... 

Guess, I am someone, who calls a spade a spade. If I dislike someone really bad and can't get along with that person, I will just maintain my distance and be cordial. I can neither have fake friends nor fake relationships, I can't be two faced at any cost. 

I feel life is too special and important and short to live in such negativity. I like to surround myself with people I like and who like me.

You are good,,

By now, you all know ,, how I love to do so many different small things. Good or bad my creative juices keep running all over the place and I am not the one to curb them. In fact I love them, I won't be able to be myself without them. My creative escapades, all my eccentricities and my passions, however nice or flawed  complete me. I just can't imagine myself without them. Like someone put a lid on me.

This is a sketch I made randomly and framed it. Amateur artist that I am, I know it's not perfection, rather far far from it. 

   

Based on this --- 

❤️❤️❤️

But it's special to me as its mine, my creation with feelings and I love it. Few friends came over and got the truth to my notice saying are the arms made of rubber, they even joked that I look like the grub actress and hubby dear looks retarded.(let me tell you this you will get only from the besties, who will always tell u the truth blatantly without sugar coating no matter what and that's why they are known as besties) 

However I stuck to my creation loyally, in fact very soon I am going to make their sketches. (Giggles) 

No matter what, do what you like, what makes you happy at the end of the day it's your creation and it's your masterpiece. It's special. You are good for yourself and you always will be. In any walk of life, do not let negativity get the better of you ever. Keep creating till everyone recognises your creation.

Keep creating till you satisfy yourself and beyond that.... ❤️❤️❤️

Garlic Cheese bread loaded with Goodness

Who doesn't love butter? I myself, am an utterly butterly girl 😉. However I try to curtail my craving as it's not that I require loads of butter and neither should I eat it everyday. 🙈 Well with me butter is synonymous with nothing else than Amul. Aghhhhhh the salted butter, I think it's perfection❤️. 

So when I saw the newly launched Amul garlic and herb butter in the supermarket, I had to have it, no two ways about it. 

Picked up the little yum packet and returned home. I had to devour it and couldn't wait. 

In my hurry I forgot to carry a loaf of bread or a baguette, now all I had at home was the normal white bread slices. 

Not the one to easily accept defeat and neither to settle for something plain Jane.

This is what I whipped up. 

Garlic cheese bread loaded with veggies. 

Ingredients 

Amul Garlic and Herb butter 

Cheese cubes - I used Brittania 

White bread slices I made do with them, you can use a fresh loaf of bread of your choice. 

Tomatoes finely sliced

Garlic finely cut 

Onion finely chopped 

Chilly flakes 

Oregano 

Salt and pepper 

Sweet corn 

Capsicum finely chopped

Any other other vegetable or herbs of your choice

You can use green chillies, olives etc 

Method 

Butter the sliced bread on both the sides

Take a pan and keep it in low heat.

Put your sliced buttered bread in the pan

Arrange the capsicum, tomatoes, onion, corn, and all the vegetables as well as garlic. Depending on how many veggies you want over it. 

Shread cheese over it. 

Sprinkle the herbs and salt, chilly flakes over it according to your taste 

Now cover the pan with the lid and let the bread get toasted and the veggies cooked a little.

After about 5 minutes check the dish. 

You can toast the bread according to your taste and crispiness. 

Your Garlic cheese Bread is all ready to devour ,, at my place hubby and me devoured them all at one go in a jiffy. 

He loved the simple preparation. 

The Amul butter is infused with garlic and herbs and with every bite you get that creamy garlic taste, which is bang on. 

I recommend you try it as soon as possible. 

One can also make this recipe in oven or microwave. 

P.S - Those of you who do not have garlic butter, you can still go ahead with the recipe with normal butter.

If you want that extra garlic kick, you can always apply a thin layer of garlic paste to one side of the slice, and toast the bread on both the sides and then go ahead with the same recipe. 

Enjoy your Garlic bread, I am going ahead and making some more for friends. 

xoxo
