Lost in translation India needs a language urgently. Time to end all the loose talk and tie together tightly our multifarious tongue. One nation, one language, exhort the netas.

EDIT

A tall order, given our penchant for colourful expressions which are best delivered in the native tongue in which they were conceived. Attempting to translate them into any other language is an assault on the speaker’s natural rhythm and tone and choice of words and turn of phrase.

It will be simply lost like an eternally floundering soul that hasn’t found its maker.

Many native expressions would be utterly feeble in any other language

Take some popular and universally used phrases of namma Kannada bhashe. The robust local expressions would be rendered utterly feeble in any other language.

“Please adjust” simply doesn’t have the same piquant appeal and scope of “swalpa adjust maadi”.

And “did you have lunch” pales as the universal Bengaluru greeting unless it is asked in the friendly lilting tone of “oota aaitha?” which breaks down defences and immediately binds the speaker and the listener into kindred brethren winding their woeful way in this vile, bewildering world.

Hindi of course is anathema in the southern context.

Better the language of our ex-rulers than letting these northern types destroy the local culture by unleashing the dreaded H word on the unsuspecting populace.

Kabhi nahi! Never! Beda!

But why resist learning another language, is the moot point. Languages are meant to help communicate, commune and collaborate, not divide, distress and disrupt. The more languages you know, the more ammunition in your armour.

English, Hindi, Kannada or any other language, learn all you can, we say! Talk more, do more, be more.

B

engaluru is a traveller’s delight. It starts with the air conditioned Volvo buses and the pre-paid taxi counter at the airport. Not to mention, the pre-paid auto counters at the city’s railway stations. But the finest example is the ease with which you can navigate the central business district of MG Road and around with the Big 10 buses. You can hop on and hop off at any point after your shopping expedition. But the finest experience will be the first reach of the Namma Metro train running from Old Madras Road to MG Road.

Happy travels.

ith Bengaluru, the sobriquets keep getting added up. From Air Conditioned City to Aviation Capital to Garden City, this small town turned technopolis has added a new word to the American lexicon: ‘Bangalored’. It means ‘to lose one’s job’ as a result of off shoring work to India.

That’s not all. The city is emerging as a medical tourism hub in India by offering ‘First World Service at Third World Cost’. What’s more, the best and the brightest multinationals are spicing up the retail scene by test-marketing large format stores like Reebok, Levi’s, Adidas, Esprit and Nautica. It’s become a ‘yuppie heaven’. Now that’s yet another sobriquet for the city.

With the Metro Rail opening in phases, things are getting better by the day. Visit the city and be bowled over.

Chef curated speciality cuisines SAMPLE AUTHENTIC ARABIC, ITALIAN AND CHINESE FARE

BY INTERNATIONAL CHEFS AT BAREERAH IN VASANTH NAGAR

BY SHEEBA MUSKAAN

F

rom untarnished Arabian to authentic Italian to original Chinese cuisines, the four-week old Bareerah multicuisine restaurant located in the heart of the city at Vasanth Nagar serves delectable speciality foods created and curated by international chefs.

The unusual sounding name Bareerah means ‘poised lady’ in Arabian language, and the restaurant aims to bring poise or balance in the foods that are created by the chefs who bring their expertise and precision of flavouring to each dish served here.

Bareerah is equally popular with the corporate customers and family groups with their lip-smacking dishes. They have around 64 covers furnished over an area of 2000 sq ft of space. The vibrant ambience in imperial turquoise forms the perfect backdrop to the fine fare served at this enchanting new restaurant.

The Arabian food at Bareerah is very unique for the city as they focus on actual Middleeastern recipes never seen before. Chef Hesham, a wizard handling 200 kg of meat all the way from Syria, is a blessing to food-lovers and actualises the dishes with great care, while the Italian dishes here are created by another well-trained international chef who has 64| OCTOBER FIRST HALF |2019

learnt the fine culinary art from Russian experts, adding just the right seasonings and touches to the recipes. This fast growing ethnic cuisine is diverse yet brings a degree of homogeneity, from their starters like the Arabian chicken shawarma that includes fine chicken wrapped with a crisp and thin layer of roomali roti and served with an in-house cocktail sauce, a pure blend of chilly mayo and garlic mayo that surprises with its unusual and sharp flavours. Visitors and tourists from around the area have been flocking to Bareerah for an authentic gastronomic experience, with flavoursome dishes like the Arayes mutton cheese, naan stuffed with mutton and cheese served with finely mashed hummus, and many more exciting creations.

With no equal competition in the area Bareerah makes a mark through their popular mandi biryani that is cooked on charcoal with a mixture of spices, meat and rice. They prepare their dishes solely on charcoal, not gas, as it gives it a unique and

rare taste. From Alfaham chicken to other Arabian dishes such as their wholesome shawarma Arabita meal and Mangalorean style prawns and fish to their best-seller mutton soup that is usually served with their mandi biryani, Bareerah has never failed to impress the gourmet guests.

Delightful desserts and refreshing beverages conclude the meals, with Kunafa being the highlight that is utterly delicious made with cheese and other secret ingredients, washed down with their divine special drinks that are an amalgam of fruits and other infusions.

For a delicious and heavenly food experience, head to Bareerah, located very conveniently for Bangaloreans with prized Middle-Eastern fare.

ime stands still at this Union Territory which was once a French colony, where you can witness an astonishing amalgamation of French and Tamil cultures.

You could call it the united colours of Pondicherry. Where old French architecture rubs shoulders with Indian structural designs.

Pondicherry (or Puducherry as it is officially renamed now) was a French colonial settlement in India until 1954, located just beyond Mahabalipuram in Tamil Nadu. Its French legacy is still preserved in the French Quarter, with tree-lined streets, sepiatoned colonial-style villas and chic boutiques with charming objets d’art. You can hear smatterings of French mixed with English and the native Tamil languages in the streets and cafes, an eclectic mix of cultures and civilizations.

From its beaches to historical monuments and from its temples to churches, Pondicherry is an interesting tourist destination in India. For seekers of spirituality, the famous Aurobindo Ashram and

Auroville are not-to-be-missed destinations that attract thousands of tourists to this beautiful city.

Blossoming bougainvilleas, crumbling cathedrals, leafy boulevards and 18thcentury colonial buildings colour the former French colony of Pondy, which sits on the Bay of Bengal.

But it’s also unmistakably Indian, with colourful festivals throughout the year.

Quiet beaches stretch north and south from town, good for swimming and sunrise strolls.

Pondy is a popular getaway destination and easy to navigate from Chennai in neighbouring state of Tamil Nadu.

Some great food, some fine wine, and a great adventure await you in Pondicherry.

It is a delightful place to look around, take a walk by the sea, attend a cultural programme and simply soak in the diverse cultural mix of this unique town of India.

It is the place to relax, put your feet up, switch off your cell phone, and lose yourself in the timelessness of the place.

Enjoy a fine meal with a glass of wine, rent a bicycle and take a ride at the leafy promenade, take a walk in the park. Learn how to make pottery. Meditate. Go fishing.

Introduce your taste buds to fine gastronomic experiences.

Ponder on existentialism, visit Pondicherry for a unique, one-of-a-kind tourism experience that will leave you relaxed and put you back in touch with your soul.

engaluru is a metaphor of an India that has arrived on the global scene. And this begins with worldclass self-sustaining ‘mixed use’ townships. Not to mention, smart digital homes that let you control your household appliances, lights and even the garage door from the comfort of your office. All you need to do is press a button or swipe a card. That’s making the most of smart technology where Wi-Fi enabled houses can automatically take care of all your household needs like dusting, cooking, laundry, bathroom, security and entertainment. You can not only watch what’s happening at home through Wi-Fi enabled webcams but also control the temperature of your fridge and microwave.

This is your very own Utopia. Make the most of it.
