A cup of Assam Tea

I heard the buzz and rave reviews of Zoonskaya from my family and friends in Sivasagar  When we visited Sivasagar  in our recent Assam trip I wanted to visit Zoonskaya. Sadly the night was already occupied as they are supposed to have a wedding party and I had no choice but to visit for lunch. A few miles from the hustle of the city, Zonnskaya is nested in a most gorgeous natural setting encompass with pond, trees, fields and emerged into modern esthetics.         I thank my stars for coming for lunch, as I was awed by the beautiful vistas in the daylight. A stunning, open-air space with a fireplace feels like one gorgeous restaurant, but if you step outside, which you eventually will, the wonder awaits you: a beautiful pond with green mountains on the horizon, offering a Caribbean resort-like experience in Assamese aesthetics.  I was amused by the morals on the walls and cherry on top, the tree of mango to jackfruit, fe...

      When we planned our Mumbai trip it was initially a two days trip but because of a technical issue on our fight made everything not what we expected. We had only  24 hours to explore. Mumbai is huge and 24 hours is too short to explore thanks to my cousin and his wife who helped us get a good glimpse of the city even for such a short time. Look forward to visiting Mumbai and know more with more time.       The city of charm, the City of Dreams, where dreams rise every day with the rising skyscrapers. Magnificent, one-of-a-kind India's financial capital and home to the world's second-largest movie industry, a city of stars yet a City of slums, with alluring history and heritage.        The Bustling city offers the most breathtaking vistas, monuments, and eminent architecture, as well as a varied and exotic food scene, along with world-class shopping. No wonder Mumbai is India's dream destination. 1. Marine...

       The Great River, the Brahmaputra, holds immense significance in Assam and for the people of Assam. It's not just a river, but the lifeline of the Assamese people, an inspiration, a source of love, and, most importantly, the leading water resource.        If you want to see and know a city, you must visit the river, whether the Seine in France or the Hudson in Newyork. This time, when I visited Guwahati, my brother suggested taking the Alfresco Grand Cruise in Guwahati. I instantly agreed, and it turned out to be one of the most amazing river cruises.        As I mentioned earlier, the Brahmaputra has a huge significance in an Assamese life and so does in my life. I have seen the Brahmaputra since my birth, sometimes as flooded and the most destructive and sometimes as serene and placid. I have taken a few ferry rides as well but never a cruise.        We booked the cruise a...

      Tea county Dibrugarh, the taste and take of its own Tea County Dibrugarh tidy chic with multi cuisine restaurant offers Indian, Italian, Chinese, Thai and Continental.        A lovely and warm greeting adds so much and we got the exact same feeling when we entered tea County Dibrugarh. An extensive and elaborate menu of tea County Dibrugarh is not an easy task to choose from for the 1st timer.        We started our day with the assorted vegetable platter. Literally, I did not expect that vegetable platter comes with such a vivid and varied array. Succulent green vegetable grill to perfection green kabab crispy on the outside and soft inside with hearty spinach, cheese stuffed grilled paneer delectable and delightful.        Then we had our main. As we are in Assam my kids missed their pasta. My little one had pasta with white cheesy sauce. Whipped and thick cheesy pasta ca...
