On Cuddle Parties and the Sad State of the World - Robin Sharma

Inspired by Robin Sharma's The Greatness Guide Part 1

Robin pointed out that across North America strangers get together and introduce themselves and then spend time cuddling. The concept behind 'cuddle parties' is nothing but just feeling the touch of another human being and feeling connected. To me that's simply creepy but whatever works.

He continues by saying, 'The paradox of our wired world is that as we become more connected electronically, we become less connected emotionally.
People spend hours each night reading blogs, downloading podcasts and surfing the internet, but they've forgotten the importance of old-fashioned conversation. They've neglected the power of breaking bread with family and friends. And they've lost sight of the importance of human touch.'

I'm going to give this serious some thought and build stronger bonds with people around me; because it just slapped me in the face...along with many other things he's said. But that I'll leave that for later.

Restaurant Review: IMBISS, Bandra West

IMBISS really is a pint-sized meaty paradise. No offense but if your vegetarian this definitely is NOT the place for you. For a bitty place they seem to be doing extremely well. Located on a quite street, Ben-O-Lil Haven, 14 Waroda Road, Off Hill Road Bandra West there for sure is a buzz when it comes to getting your meat on!

I visited Imbiss for dinner with friends and we tried the Baby Back spare ribs (STRONGLY RECOMMENDED), Pork Schnitzel (could give this a miss), Chicken Escalopes with fries (very good), Buffalo Steak (Oh so yummy), their special of the day, a plate of garlic bread, a hamburger with extra cheese and 3 colas. And boy oh boy did we swipe it all clean.

The menu is seriously mouth-watering, well portioned and very decently priced. We ended up paying INR 1600 approx for the entire bill. I wished I had clicked pictures of what came on our plates. I was so hungry and couldn't resist to dig my fork into the dishes that came out.

If your around Bandra and have a meaty appetite, you MUST stop by at IMBISS. Divine would be an understatement.

Rating : 5/5
