Keywords like, eco-tourism, nature enthusiast, etc. truly define the aura of Sittong. Let’s get to know the important places to visit in, and around Sittong. - [Respect: A gift from me to myself](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/20/respect-a-gift-from-me-to-myself/): “Respect is a two-way street, if you want to get it, you’ve got to give it.” - [Quintessential quick bites at Bikanervala, Dehradun](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/19/bikanervala-dehradun-blogchattera2z/): Being a food blogger, I find it more as a responsibility to not only hog on to places (like, Bikanervala) which serve delicious food for non-vegetarians. I find happiness in biting paneer as well as chicken. There's no discrimination between foodstuffs as we all are "Omnivores". Quite legit, eh? 😃 - [Personifying the REBEL inside me](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/18/personifying-the-rebel-inside-me/): Raising voice for something which is not right isn’t a crime. Whatever the consequences might be, one should always remember that tolerating injustice is as equal as committing it. Being a human being, one must ensure doing human things. You can’t be a selfish lad, who protects himself from a disastrous wave but lets the old lady dive into the pool. One can’t be silent when the whole world is weeping and raise a stupid point, “We are able to avail all the facilities and luxuries of life, so we don’t care what others are up to.” This is another definition of cowardice and leaving the war-field. You must be a rebel. - [Optimistic me](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/17/optimistic-me-blogchattera2z/): Being optimistic isn’t a tough job. You can never invoke optimism by running errands or dropping a silver coin into the well. It needs immense patience, determination, desire, and perseverance to stay positive. An individual should understand the laws of nature and start working on his/her own personality to adapt to the most unfavorable situations of life. How I conquered the fear of producing my own thoughts in front of millions? Let’s see. - [Nullifying the void between two souls](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/16/nullifying-the-void-between-two-souls/): What's the most complicated thing to maintain in life? Diet plan? No. Daily assignments? No. Relationship? A very big YES. It has always been very easy to utter ancient quotes or give long speeches on such a sensitive topic but, when it comes to performing it in real, the balloon gets inflated. I am a person who believes in a pure and eternal relationship. A bond which is immortal. A bond which is mutually productive yet, quite sustainable in nature.  I love nullifying the void between two souls. - [Mouth-watering snacks and daily gossip at Dehradun’s Goli Vada Pav](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/14/goli-vada-pav-dehradun-sahastradhara-malsi-uttarakhand/): It all started in the year 2004 when Venkatesh Iyer made a clear vision of launching an ethnic fast food brand which is mobile, simple yet has the potential to reach masses. What’s Mumbai without a humble portion of Vada Pav? Hence, the notion of launching multiple stores selling fusion Vada Pav came into existence. Goli Vada Pav has over three hundred and fifty outlets across ninety cities. The very first outlet of Goli was established in Mumbai. Soon, it took shots in surrounding places and ultimately, throughout the country. Here, in this blog, I am gonna talk about my recent visit to the outlet of Goli Vada Pav, in Dehradun. There are two outlets of Goli in Dehradun and they are located at Malsi and Sahastradhara, respectively. Although both the outlets are situated in a perfect location, the menu and its availability differ accordingly. - [Love is the essence of life](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/13/love-is-the-essence-of-life/): I don't believe in following trends. Rather, I create trends. When I started writing about food, back in 2016, Dehradun had hardly witnessed a voracious blogger who would binge on good food around the city and post on social media. I started an eternal streak of collaboration programmes in the year 2018 and enlightened several Doonites about various products. From endorsing edible spoons to fancy restaurants and organizing bloggers' meet, I did it all. I was on a roll. It feels immensely great when brands recognize you and choose you among thousands to promote their products/services. My early achievements persuaded me to fall in love with my own self. I learnt that self-love is the essence of life. - [Kratom causes death to US citizens](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/12/kratom-causes-death-to-us-citizens/): Kratom is a tropical tree which originates in the south-eastern part of Asia.

I jog for almost six to eight kilometres, every day and boy; it actually helps me in maintaining myself, physically and emotionally fit. Jogging is less burdensome yet, more effective, consuming lesser energy and hence, it succours for a long time.

It is widely practised by people who warm themselves up and cool down their body while performing vigorous exercise. - [Inculcating love for sandwiches at Zen Panda](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/10/inculcating-love-for-sandwiches-at-zen-panda/): Sandwiches at Zen Panda are the only option which pops in my mind when I am hungry, broken and super late for classes.

The umbrellas make it more beautiful. The entrance of Cafe Cibo is well decorated with green plants and an old dilapidated statue of Buddha. The interiors are well-lit with antique hanging lamps. They have plenty of books sponsored by “Valley of words” for every bookworm. Souvenirs woo my mind and the little cups and cutleries look so apt with the interior design. The seating capacity would accommodate more than twenty people hence; it is a perfect place for family brunch. - [Flavoursome appetizers at Zen Panda Dehradun](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/06/flavoursome-appetizers-at-zen-panda-dehradun/): Zen Panda has proved itself to be one of the most "Out of the box" outlets in Dehradun and its experimental food brings me almost every single time.

What comes into your mind when we speak about a laid back yet, fun-filled holiday? Lush green meadows and the whistling sound of Darjeeling joyride steam engine is a mandatory thing. Being a Bengali, Darjeeling is a next-door hill-station and being super-lazy to go to far-off places, what else can you expect from us? Haha. We went for a seven days trip to Darjeeling and surrounding areas and this is the very third fragment of my travel blog. - [Cavernous variety of bakery products: Bake a Cake in 123, Dehradun](https://stylingupmylife.com/2019/04/02/cavernous-variety-of-bakery-products-bake-a-cake-in-123-dehradun/): Dehradun boasts of huge varieties of bakery and home bakers are sprawling up, everywhere.

Of course, it is not, “Worcestershire” or “Isthmus” that you need a special course to enunciate certain words.

Mr. and Mrs. Lim Hi Lay brought these instant noodles into existence. Surprisingly, their invention displayed the unique trait of Singaporean cuisine.

It has spread a very strong influence among today’s youth, showing them the vast scope of inculcating passion as well as a stable profession. But, when it comes to consistency, a lot of individuals fail to maintain that. I am not blaming your appetite, but I am pointing towards the quantitative analysis.

I feel "Blogging" is the best way to pen down your thoughts because there are a lot of different kinds of stuff dazzling in our brain and we need to churn it out. It becomes a herculean task when we voice our opinions one by one, because who knows, we may miss out a point and regret later.

The two gigantic rooms had a picture of “Sadhguru” with a “Diya” or lamp placed in front of him to pay homage and respect. The first room shows us a wall depicting various positions of asanas and the second room (which is actually the main room for workshops and classes) has the best arrangement, I have seen so far.

Of course, an interesting one? Isn’t it? It should have, live music, delicious food, comfy seating arrangements, outdoor/rooftop seating with an amazing view of Shiwalik range. Sounds dreamy? Well, OTB makes your dream come true. A fantastic location. Isn't it? BRIEF HISTORY OTB had been first set up in the NCR region, mainly in, Hauz Khas Village and Khan Market providing their customers with utmost luxury and yummy delicacies and now, they have set up their franchise in the city of love and fun, Dehradun. It is a boon for all the Doonites to enjoy a vibrant atmosphere in one of the well-known cafes of North India. With alternative music and comfortable seating, this place has won the hearts of many people in the town.   Interesting interiors. A LIL BIT OF EXAGGERATION It was a Sunday (thank God, not the cunning Monday!) and I was in Paonta (a small town located in Himachal Pradesh), brushing my teeth with sleepy eyes and a sad face for the end of a quirky vacation. The moment I packed my bags for Doon, I remembered that, one of my blogger friends is organising a bloggers’ meet and she expects me to be there. When its food, I can never say a “NO”. I hurried up with my belongings and rushed towards the bus stand to fetch the earliest bus going to Dehradun. I reached in less than an hour or so. Here starts the journey of a wonderful food adventure. OTB is set up on Rajpur Road, one of the most prime locations in Dehradun. It is near to that of Silvercity Cinemas, so its easily traceable. The elevator takes you on the third floor of The Central Palm Hotel, which opens up the magnificent doors, written in bold, “OTB”. Comfortable seating arrangement MOCKTAILS We went busy with clicking numerous photographs of the luxurious and resplendent interiors of the café. We were mesmerized to see the outdoor seating facility. The infatuating view of Shiwalik Himalayas and a sip of Fruit punch (a mocktail which comprises pineapple juice, orange juice, mango juice, grenadine syrup and fresh cream) took me back to the year 2011, when I and my parents were trekking for Kedarnath. Ah! Memories replenished. Haha! Lets have a glass of mocktail. What say? The bloggers’ table seemed really interesting today. We started with Minestrone Soup. It is a classical Italian tomato broth with fresh vegetables. We also had Manchow soup and hot n sour soup as well. Minestrone STARTERS These various kinds of soup were accompanied by a huge variety of snacks. Starting with Fish fingers, Barbeque chicken strips, nachos chat, continuing with dry chilly chicken, malai chicken tikka, honey chilly potato, salt n pepper and ending with grilled soya chops in hot salsa and lotus stem in honey chilly, all were fabulous. Among these, the barbeque chicken really enticed my tastebuds. Strips of chicken tossed in barbeque sauce and house salad inviting you to bite it and relish the experience. HONEST REVIEWS HERE The honey chilly potato was too much chilly, and little sweet. For a honey chilly potato, it needs to maintain a perfect equilibrium of sweetness and chilly flavour. It could’ve been better. On the other hand, the chef special Grilled soya chops dipped in hot salsa is excellent. For a second, I stood perplexed staring at it in an anticipation mood, pondering whether its chicken or not. But no! It was soya and unbelievably similar in taste of a chicken. It was something really great. The nachos and lotus stem looked quite appealing, but fair in taste. Honey chilly potato Nachos After having a glass of virgin mojito, we took our journey to an interesting level. PIZZAS We saw the waiters serving us the assorted non-veg pizza. But before we could divide it into pieces and start having a bite, we saw the waiters adding flavour of smoke or fire on that. Oh boy! The scene looks amazing. I have attached a video with this. Do view it and tell me your views about it. Hope you’ll enjoy seeing it. KING OF PLATTER A Lebanese platter strengthens my soul. I feel that essence of being a true foodie with a soul. Well, I believe that food, which looks good and tastes equally good, captures my heart at first. Café OTB’s Mezze platter was exactly like that. It consists of exotic pickled vegetables, accompanied with hummus tzatziki tabouli and generous pita bread. Each and every item tasted brilliantly well. Peeps, don’t just salivate! Haha, go and have a bite. You’ll love it for sure. Lebanese Mezze platter INDIAN MENU We moved on to the main course. It mainly comprised of Indian and Mughlai dishes like, Dal Makhni, Paneer Lababdar, Keema Pav, Mutton Rogan Josh and Mutton Pardah Biryani. Among all of these, I adored the showstopper of all the dishes. Mutton Pardah Biryani played the game of hide and seek, inside the cover of a Tandoori butter roti. The flavour was amazing with astonishing smell of Biryani and exotic spices adorned the judicious pieces of mutton. Wondering still, how it looked? Well, here it is! Have a look at this picture and I know, you can’t sit still. Sorry guys! Ahem ahem. You’ve to bear with it. Mutton Pardah Biryani PASTA AND CURRY We continued our main course with some oriental dishes like, Penne Pasta, Thai curry green, OTB Grilled chicken, Grilled fish in lemon butter sauce and Thai curry red. My personal favourite was, Penne Pasta which had ample of mixed sauce giving it a wonderful texture and a great taste. Penne Pasta THAI AND INDIAN The respective Thai curries were served with steamed rice and salad. They taste conventional. I was a little disappointed with the grilled fish. Being a Bengali, I am very particular about the taste of the fish. Somehow, it didn’t live up to my expectations. The look was amazing, with a sexy texture and sizzling brown hue. It looked dreamy. But I really feel, the taste should improve. If a food looks good, it also has to taste good. That is the real identity of a perfect dish.
