Recipe: Venn Pongal – This is where it all started
| January 15, 2012 | Posted by bkbirla under Cooking |
25 years back. We used to stay in Lucknow. Big town for us after living in much smaller cities in Uttar Pradesh. DD used to rule the air waves those days. I happened to hear recipe for this dish on TV and I thought I will give it a shot. Made the same thing again…
Me a sinner
| January 3, 2012 | Potluck, ZopNow |
Dear Customer I have sinned. Not once but many times. This was during my Avatar as a restaurant guy. My sin is similar to what lot of people do in that domain but it still is a sin. Haven’t you ever ordered food from a restaurant and waited for food at home. You get hungry…
Poem: Ek Ashq
| December 25, 2011 | Poems |
Ek ashq aankhon se nikalta hai, Aur dil main utar jaata hai Waqt ki karwatein badalte hi, Har oor bikhar jaata hai Zindagi ki kadwahat, Aur safar ki gard ko Dhote dhote hi, Na jane kitna waqt guzar jaata hai Sambhalo chaahein jitna, ashqon ko palkon ke tale Jab sailab umadta hai, to had se…
Recipe: Achari Vegetable Rice
| November 30, 2011 | Cooking |
You can make this with leftover rice also. It will transform your rice to a yummy dish which you can even serve to your guests. If your guests figure out that this was made using left over rice, the lunch is on me. So take a little bit of oil/ghee in a pan. Add…
There comes a time in every entrepreneur’s life when Excel hits the road
| November 23, 2011 | ZopNow |
I have been lucky enough to see that happen multiple times. And it happened yet another time. It is a funny game. You spend sleepless nights imagining your first sale, first customer, first launch. How the curves on your sales graphs will look like? You rehearse the words you will say to your first customer. I know…

I wish time had a pause button – The story of Pune BBG meetup

It happens and happened to me two times on 15th Oct, 2011. Sawai Gandharva Sangeet Mahavidyalaya was where music lovers from different parts of the country gathered to celebrate our love for music. I figured out why Pune is called cultural capital of Maharashtra. Music lovers descended in large numbers for the BBG meetup. …
Jaggu Dada Memories
| October 10, 2011 | Posted by bkbirla under Life, Personal |
20 years gone by. It must be month of October in B Top in Hall 2 at IIT Kanpur in 1991. Harmless looking Amit Jain landed in my room. I know you won’t recognize that name. Nobody called him by that name. Even he might have forgotten it during college days. But then to protect…
Changing my relegion
| September 2, 2011 | Posted by bkbirla under Asklaila, Potluck, ZopNow |
I know it worked if you have come here. Learnt this trick from a friend. A catchy subject line ensures that you do read rest of the stuff. Anyway I never had a religion so no chances of changing it. I lost my religion long time back when I went through religious texts of almost all religions. Anyway that is not the…
एकाकी मन के विस्तृत पटल पे
| August 24, 2011 | Posted by bkbirla under Poems |
एकाकी मन के विस्तृत पटल पे स्मृति की रेखाएं इंगित हैं कुछ इतनी सूक्ष्म कि प्रतीत भी नहीं होंती कुछ इतनी गहरी कि नींव को भी विधवंसित कर दें एकाकी मन के विस्तृत पटल पे… इन रेखाओं मैं छुपे हैं अनगिनत क्षण प्रसन्नता के उन्मुक्त उल्लास के गहन पीड़ा के टूटे हुए विश्वास के कुछ…
