Yes, that’s right, it’s VeRRY with 2 ‘R’ s, to emphasise ‘Indianness’!

Started by Vikram Nandwani, these are a set of cartoons, illustrations, sketches, wall art & murals which are available as Limited Edition Digital Prints, signed by Vikram in the following sizes: 10″x10″, 20″x20″ & 40″x40″.

They truly reflect everything ‘Indian’. My favourite one from the Verry Indian collection is the Ambassador.

Just back from the Mumbai Iron Maiden Concert 2008,

Here’s the setlist played today in Mumbai:

Aces High
2 Minutes To Midnight
Revelations
The Trooper
Wasted Years
The Number Of The Beast
Run To The Hills
The Rime Of The Ancient Mariner
Powerslave
Heaven Can wait
Can I play with madness?
Fear of the dark
Iron Maiden

Clairvoyant
Hallowed Be Thy Name

The Iron Maiden concert started rather early 7:50 PM to be precise & ended by 9:45 PM
Maiden is no doubt the best LIVE Performance heavy metal for sure. Precision without faltering anywhere, Maiden delivered & thrilled the Mumbai crowd.

After the first 2 songs, Aces High & 2 Minutes To Midnight, Bruce said that he was happy to be here in Mumbai, which was earlier called as Bombay, however locals still like to call it Bombay.

After Trooper, Bruce said that this will be one of the many times that Iron Maiden will play in India. \m/\m/

For PowerSlave Bruce wore a Egyptianlike headgear.

Like the Bangalore concert Fear of the Dark received maximum crowd participation, with everybody joining in the chorus.

During the song ‘Iron Maiden’ Eddie appeared as the Cyborg with a gun a hand.

After the break, Bruce introduced all the band members.

You have any good quality photographs of the Iron Maiden Mumbai concert, let me know, I can post them here. Thx:)

The Modern Indian Cooking book was launched recently in New York by chef & author Hari Nayak an Indian food consultant. The Modern Indian Cooking book is available on Amazon via this link [aff] here: Modern Indian Cooking
However, on his website HariNayak.com you can buy this book with the celebrity chef’s signature, I guess this would a limited edition or so. The buy online page for the Modern Indian Cooking book is here:
http://www.harinayak.com/books_products.htm

According to the author Hari Nayak, this book is…

This book represents our take on Modern Indian Cuisine, prepared using fresh flavorful ingredients, designed to accommodate the modern lifestyle. Indian cooking is often perceived as intimidating due to the use of wide range of unusual ingredients and complex cooking procedures. Our book is an attempt to recreate classic Indian dishes by using simplistic techniques along with a delicious juxtaposition of non Indian ingredients. We have strived to bring traditional Indian cuisine to simplified levels fit for modern living and entertaining, while keeping the flavors and authenticity intact.

Reading about these modern Indian recipes, has left me, well .err..> Hungry! actually, it is the combined effect of reading the recipe & seeing, observing these photos of food.

Check out the delicious gourmet desert & cakes at Hari’s Bake Shop hmmmmm..Yummmmyy !

Even more tasty are these absolutely mouthwatering ice cream patisserie & desserts and entremets at Halo Fete patisserie & cafe @ Princeton, NJ.

Hari’s restaurants page has all the outlets where Hari’s catering & ethnic food is available.

So, which is your favorite Indian food or Indian recipe? Let me know…….Thx.
