Bell Peppers - Shimla Baigan Bhartha
2008-05-14 05:46:00 Shimla Capsicum Bhartha, originally uploaded by brinku11.You know, I've got to tell you, I think we Indians should patent the word capsicum, I have so gotten used to saying, "bell pepper" but a part of me longs for that somewhat small slightly spicer and really flavorful capsicum.But, on the other hand, I love colorful red and yellow peppers which you do not find so readily in India.

GUEST COLUMN - The homely Spring fields of Shimla
2007-05-28 11:40:00 By Swarup Kar Purkayastha February 2002. As the cab drives through the narrow, winding roads of Shimla, to Springfields Hotel, it removes us from the hustle-bustle of the city and drifts one into a relatively peaceful realm.

Imposing hills climbing high to kiss the sky, even as blankets of dense, white clouds swim in its vast emptiness. The sun is trying to break through the grey, morning mist from behind the hills. And yet it's not easy to get lost. The world, its smell, touches seep into the atmosphere as the city gets ready to wake up to the call of the day. The cold breeze brushes one's heart, birds chirp and kids queue in for schools. The cab screeches to a halt at the threshold of the hotel, situated at the outskirt of the city. I looked out of the window of my car confused as the hotel looks more like a residence. There is no sign of a hotel. No one at the gate. On the other side, th...
