Thumbs Up for this!!!

 Hyderabad is known for it's Biryani's, on the other side there is another preparation of Dum Biryani which is a rice preparation with mutton or chicken or veggies cooked with spices along so that the flavours of the meat and spices amalgamate with rice.. cooked in a sealed container; that's why we term it as Dum.


Swapnil Gandhi, recommended by a friend of mine invited me to taste the same rice preparation. Chicken Dum biryani, absolutely cooked to perfection. I couldn't  spot any trace of oil on my plate, not very spicy, succulent juicy pieces of chicken and the flavour of burnt onions arriving in between  served with raita is the best option for one's like me, who are a foodie yet a bit diet conscious and ofcourse for the new generation who wish to splurge on food and try new places.

Up and Up as the name of the restaurant goes, is also a solution for the food woes of the working lot. the food prepared is healthy, fresh and not too heavy on the wallet or your tummy either. Apart from that they also follow a strict hygiene regulation.


Swapnil, A  young lad from Nadiad , passionate about food, incubated from IIM has ventured into this business. His management experience has helped him design the format of the restaurant which operates from a Cloud kitchen, means the food is centrally prepared in one kitchen and supplied in rest of the branches which is a smart way of operations as it helps to regulate logistics, cost, manpower and serve the client with a uniform taste. The cloud kitchen outlet is at Prahlad Nagar and rest of the three outlets of  Up and Up are located at Drive n, Bodakdev and South Bopal.

To sum up the meal... authentic phirni, loaded with dryfruits and carrying a distinct flavour of ground cardamom.... leaves you on a high!!! Up and Up....

Sands to Skyscrapers: Dubai’s Architectural Marvels

A New Dawn in the Desert By: Kulveen Narula “The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn't something  you await, but rather create.” — H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum A t the turn of the millennium, while the world was celebrating the arrival of Y2K , a quiet revolution had begun brewing in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates, particularly Dubai , was preparing to reimagine itself—not just as a city but as a symbol of human possibility. From a land once known only for its sands and souks, rose a futuristic skyline that rivals the best on Earth. In just 25 years , Dubai evolved into a global epicentre of design, engineering, and luxury—where the homo sapiens are actually living on Cloud 9, giving us a strong dream etched on sand, which didn't disappear overnight but amplified year on year imparting a twinkle in the eye of millions in the world to light up a dream.  The Visionary Behind the Rise The transformation is no...

What's your Color Code?

  Give Me "RED" - Operation Sindoor   While a debate goes on the skin color and the side effects of lightening crèmes, no makeup looks etc. but at the same point there is no denial that we love to wear color, be it on our face, hair or body. 16   shringars   have been known since time  immemorial and so make up has always been an essential part of human existence, be it the tribal paintings with feather head gears or a high fashion look on a ramp. Recently the importance of vermilion powder - termed as "Sindoor" was the nomenclature of the army operation conducted in retaliation to the terrorist attacks in Kashmir where caste was primary specification of those targeted.  This itself indicates that makeup and grooming have been an essential element of our culture and tradition since time immemorial. The loud red streak was adorned by Aishwarya Rai at the Cannes as representation of both fashion and fury, Peace and power. The Queen arrived clad in Red ...
