Sad day .

Saw a post on Instagram that took me back 25 years in a heartbeat!

This gorgeous lady, #NidhiKulpati who retired this week approached me, auditioned me, hired me and trained me as a newsreader on #ZEENEWS and what’s more she …

For those wondering, yes we’re on a long break as @shabbysahi busy doing two other #podcasts apart from usual #radio & some exciting TV projects.

Not to worry may do some solo episodes (what do you mean ‘it’s not you we want to hear’)

Or is this just another example of colonial gatekeeping . Anyway don’t forget that the Maharaja was very generous with his pouring of Whisky - which is where we get the term Patiala Peg .
#Metgala

Manish Sahi @mansahi.bsky.social · May 8

The fact that Cartier allowed influencer Emma Chamberlain to wear part of the #PatialaNecklace to the #MetGala a few years back but denied Diljit feels a bit you know what.
But more to the point can someone enlighten as to how #Cartier own this necklace.
Did the Maharaja sell it?

Was planning to watch the movie #Conclave about the Papal election but instead flicking between the News channels about the escalation in tensions between #India & #Pakistan and also watching the champions league with #InterMilan & #Barcelona .

Happy 80th
Bob Seger will always be special as 25 years ago @shabbysahi went for a voice over job to #America ( Boy were we all impressed also we weren’t married then ) when asked if I wanted anything I asked for a GAP T-shirt & this CD. 😀
Played it excessively on the #Radio

So following my last post , where I ranted about #Indian restaurants in the UK thought I’d mention my #foodie credentials .
A small clip from the podcast .
Of course this is just my humble opinion.

Now that’s over 20 quid, on just rotis ( flatbread/chappati /naan ) not the actual dish and veggies that you will also order.
Spent that amount today at one of those very trendy places where they smash the burger up with fries and a drink.

3. Having ate Indian food in #Lucknow ,#Delhi, #Hyderabad etc..I’m pretty confident in knowing what constitutes a good #Indian meal.
I’m not expecting Awadhi cuisine or some Dum Pukht Biriyani but still.

Maybe I should go back to writing a newspaper column but this time on food.

Let’s face it I’m gonna eat at least 4 rotis , that’s the same price as getting a fish and chips meal in a restaurant/pub in London .

I’m a total foodie,( Hotel Management, living on top of a tea shop and dhaba in Indian village etc.. ) BUT if I see an #IndianRestaurant in #London charging approx £5 for a Roti then a 12.5% service charge ,I’m sorry but I’m going to my local ‘Taj Palace Curry House’

It’s important to every now & then take a break from an English Breakfast and go Continental. In my case today it just happens to be Scandinavian.

Bunch of pensioners on table next to me discussing the war, then chat turns to #JamesBond and Sean Connery unanimous favourite.
They can’t remember one Bond . I’m dying to butt in and shout Timothy Dalton .
But then they’ll know I was eavesdropping.

Repost Shabnam Sahi
Loved hosting a fun #Daawat

Although a leading brand in #India Daawat's foray into the fiercely competitive basmati market in the UK is fairly recent.

This was an evening that celebrated their partners AND unveiled the much talked about ad with #SRK
