I bet you’ve heard about the Burj Khalifa. Initially titled the Burj Dubai? The tallest building in the world? Ahhhhh now you get it. Oh and it opened on 4th Jan 2010. Yay!

It was day one in Dubai and it was  mighty hot already, with temperatures soaring as high as 42 degrees celsius. Phew that’s hot! We had reservations to visit the Burj Khalifa.

So what makes Chorizo absolutely delicious and to die for? These Goan sausages are made out of pork marinated in vinegar, chill, garlic & ginger and other...

I had no real reason to go there; just the thought of a long drive out of Mumbai was captivating enough. So after a few drinks down when another friend suggested this place, we were all set to go.

There’s this small little cove hidden away in the hills of South Goa. 40 kms from Cavelossim and about 4 kms north of Agonda lies Cola Beach. Getting here is a task. Roads that will test your driving skills not forgetting navigation skills, but in the end it’s worth it.Walking down the flight of stone steps from the...
