Jagga jasoos. Are you kidding me?!

After a long time, I watched a movie which made me yearn to pull out each and every hair out of my head in frustration and disappointment. 

I had tremendous respect for Mr. Anurag Basu till yesterday, but it all changed within a matter of minutes...thanks to the wannabe-lalaland movie, Jagga-painful-jasoos. You must be wondering, why did I tamper with the title of the movie, by adding the word, painful. That's simply because, each and every moment of this movie was so mind numbingly boring that I felt the earth has frozen and time has come to a standstill. I kept on looking at my watch every minute in the hope that the 3 hours would pass, but alas, much to my dismay, the moments seemed like years to me. And I felt cheated and duped that 3 precious hours of my life were wasted. Every single dialogue of this movie was in a form of a song. Don't mistake me, I love songs! Provided there is some decent tune and logical lyrics. But the music of this movie was another huge disappointment. Even Arijit Singh couldn't save it. What the hell is "Choclaty chunnu....biscuti bunnu?" C'mon!!! I get it that the movie was primarily targeted for kids below the age of 8 years, but still!? Kids today are far more smarter! I couldn't find a single saving grace for this movie. 

Worst movie of this century, undoubtedly. 

First watch, a restaurant review

"First watch" happens to be my most favorite restaurant in probably the whole of USA. There is an interesting story actually, on how I discovered this place.

My good friend Koushi and I, went on a trip to Phoenix, Arizona. And this restaurant happened to be situated right infront of our hotel. In our quest to experiment new places, we decided to give it a go. And voila!! Were we surprised! The restaurant is a popular brunch place, frequented by all health freaks and boasts of an extensive menu. All the veggies and fruits used are organically grown and the sauces etc are specially produced for first watch restaurant only and bear the mark. The place smells of freshly brewed coffee and eggs/bacon/cheese!! There is always a waiting time to get a table especially during the rush breakfast hours and the best part is you can help yourself to their amazing coffee while you wait. They have some delightful freshly squeezed juices and their kale tonic is to die for. In all my 5 visits to this place, they surpassed my expectations. Both in terms of food quality and service. I love their crabmeat omelette and strawberry smash. They take great pride in the fact that the restaurant is microwave free. I remember, during one of my visits, I requested my server to warm up my coffee because it had gotten cold as I was focusing too much on my food. The server gently informed me that they do not have a microwave but they would be happy to get me another freshly brewed pot of coffee. That was an "Aha" moment for me, and they won my heart forever. I love this place so much that I had my last breakfast in USA here! My manager wanted to treat me and we went there for brunch. And now he is also a big fan of "First watch" :)

Ok, signing off for now. Cya!
