Satyameva Jayate - A Eye Opener

I have been following all the 13 episodes of Satyameva Jayate Season 1 which is hosted by Aamir Khan. Aamir Khan has done a fantastic job by bringing out issues such as child sexual abuse, alcohol abuse, female foeticide, untouchability, Disabled peoples efforts to survive, big fat Indian wedding, Issues relating to water, toxic food. The final episode had a set of social workers in India who relentless work for the betterment of the community and the country, not expecting anything in return. 


Aamir khan with his crew had taken all efforts to show us the unsung heros of the current generation. I wanted to write about his final episode cos it was a total eyeopener. He had invited people who are taking up their own efforts in some parts of India without expecting anything in return or any kind of recognition. Seeing the program one would have definitely understood to "Stop expecting the nation to do something, Rather we start something in changing the nation to a better place".

I have managed to upload the video of the final episode. The audience for the final episode were children from different schools. Most of the answers from the children sitting in the show was to live in a corrupt free India when asked what are there expectations.

The show ended with a beautiful song been sung which goes as "Nikal Pado Re Bandhu, Nikal Pado Re, Nikal Pado Re, Arey Na Mumkin Bhi Mumkin Hove, Karke Dekho Re Bandh, Nikal Pado Re" (For people who know Hindi they know the meaning). For those who don't it means " Come out and contribute, even though you feel it isn't possible try it out and show it is possible.

Dinner at 3 Kingdoms !!

It had been a busy weekend for my wife as she was working on Saturday and Sunday and I was completely bored doing the usual house hold work of washing , cleaning  and rearranging a few things at home. So on Sunday night we decided that we needed a break and thought we shall dine out. So around 7 pm we did a short visit to my mother's place at T.Nagar. The next thought was why not try a new restaurant for dinner.



So the search started and as we rode towards Nungambakkam. We got into Khader Nawaz Khan Road to check out the few restaurants 'cos I've seen some offer being given in quite a few restaurants there. As we rode slowly we came over a place where there were 3 restaurants in the same building. On the ground floor was 'Simar' a punjabi cuisine restaurant, on the floor above was 'York Sizzlers' (which turned out to be quite expensive which we discovered later seeing the menu) and on the top floor was '3 Kingdoms which offers a variety of Thai, Malaysian and Chinese food. On the first instance we decided we'll settle down for Sizzlers and when heading towards it a small chap from 3 Kingdoms approached us with the menu card and started explaining the variety of dishes offered in their restaurant and the discount of 10 to 20 % on the bill for HDFC & American Exp credit cards. The discount sounded ok! We just took a chance. 

We found the ambiance to be good and they had this mild Chinese music played in the background. The waiters were courteous and helped us with the menu. The menu had a variety of dishes for which we knew some and for most we dint . We ordered Fried shrimps with mayonnaise and crispy bread with chicken shred as the appetizer along with chicken (steamed)wontons in gravy  and a bottle of beer. Then it was Chicken Lemony Mushroom Soup (clear with no oil floating on top). Both the dishes were awesome and had a unique taste. The chicken wontons with gravy  happened to be too delicious along with my beer. As we enjoyed the dinner, I felt the soup and the starters were a little too filling for  they were sumptuous in quantity. We singled out the main course to a Chicken sizzler with noodles and ordered it. A 15 mins wait and then smoke filled the entire place. We coughed a lot, but steadied soon to thank god for having  just one because the sizzlers happened to be a hu(uu)ge portion. It was a good one but nothing unique about the taste. Normal saucy chicken noodles in a sizzler plate! Now we did not fight to find place for a dessert so we decided to pay the cheque. This is the nicest part of the story. 

They gave a 10 % discount on our bill (HDFC card) and the bill seemed very nominal. I wasn't actually bothered about the bill and the discounts cos the food was very tasty and the service was excellent that made us very comfortable. But if you opt to sit on the sofa, better dont! they are a little uncomfortable and hard and very short. It was marked (XXX) near the Tips as it was included in the bill. My total bill amounted to around 1000 inclusive of a bottle of Kingfisher lager.
 
Happy dining at 3 Kingdoms(3 cheers) :)!!! Will visit your place again soon......
