Hearing a lot about the Times Global Village, a one month mutli-continental food and crafts festival, we headed out yesterday to get some feel of it. Four of us – Ajay, Ashish, Bhupal and Me braved the blistering summer heat and dust and got there. The first feel of the TGV was that we reached too early. Nothing was under way by the time we reached there which was around 4. All the stuff started only after sun down which was understandable considering the heat these days in Delhi, around 42C or 108F.

We roamed around a bit and headed out to what we’ve heard was the best option to try – Kebabs by Bundoos Khan from Pakistan. They were a bit costly but we felt that some things should be eaten just for their flavour and not to satisfy our gluttony. We then started to go through all those crafts stalls. The African area of the crafts stalls was really eye catching with the wooden carvings, bead necklaces, wild bangles and stuff. Literally a girls paradise. The highlight of them was the Czech stall. The models/saleswomen were too hot. Truly Yana Gupta’s country I thought. Even the stuff that was in those stalls was above the roof. Even the smallest of the crystals cost more than Rs. 3000. Each one us of brought somethings or the other that is destined to gather dust in some nook and corner from one shop or the other (but not the Czech stall).

We had some Thai food of which the chicken completely rocked and the noodle soup or some stuff sucked big time. We then moved a little had our dinner at Fast Trax and headed out. All in all there was not one moment that we felt was wasted. The chicks were exceptionally hot even on a working day, trust me.
