To Twitt-err is Human

(This post was written by me and published on my Facebook page when I created my Twitter handle back in May 2010. I like a million others was curious as a cat to discover Twitterverse. With this poem, I quite like how what I had in my mind translated into words. Enjoy reading and if you will, follow me on @HanishaLalwani.)

*Tweet! Tweet!* Who is it?

A little blue bird, 'Twitter' is what you call it!

I'm spreading my wings and flying with it...

For those out of it, are sadly missing out on it!

Once I'm on it there's no fighting it,

He's on it, she's on it, even it's on it...

And if you're not yet on it,

Then you must be quite a twit!

Celebs tweet randomness on it,

Crazy fans are lovin’ every bit of it...

The media is spying all over it,

Tharoor and Modi fell in a soup ‘cause of it!

Corporates are spending millions on it,

Students and teachers are debating over it...

Inside the studio, musicians are wasting time on it,

Outside the office, politicians babble false promises on it!

But hey! Jamie Oliver's revealing secret recipes over it,

Catch the comic Stephen Fry, voted the funniest on it...

President Chavez hires 200 to assist him with it,

Off the field, Tendulkar's playing with words on it!

You'd be the first to know anything and everything on it,

Follow and boast of many followers on it...

Simply type 140 characters...yes really that is it,

Don't ask me how, somehow try to make it fit!

So if you still want to, why don't you get on it,

The second you feel it, you only have to tweet it...

Unveil your best nightmares and worst dreams on it,

Like me if you're bored, maybe write a poem on it!

Since it takes barely a minute to get the hang of it,

Faster than fluttering wings, someone new is tweeting on it...

You see, 40 million tweeple haven't lost their wits,

Tell Facebook, it's passé and call it quits!

(In case you're wondering, I still Facebook.)

INSIDE THE GO CHEESE FACTORY

Last weekend, I got a unique opportunity to visit Gowardhan Cheese Factory in Manchar district, a good two hour drive from Pune city. The owning home-grown company Parag Milk Foods brand portfolio includes Gowardhan and GO boasting of a range of dairy products that have been retailed across Mumbai and Pune over the last decade. I first started using their yoghurt when the local kirana store ran out of my usual preference of Amul , Danone and Britannia . One spoon of it and I instantly found it so fresh, light and 'unprocessed'. I have always loved cheese but now I even prefer it over chocolate. So when I was scheduled to visit the GO factory, it bore semblance to winning the golden ticket and entering glistening gates to its factory much like the popular Roald Dahl 's Charlie . Except that it was not all that dramatic!

Restaurant Review | Where Else Cafe & Bar

Where Else promises to be unique in Viman Nagar, a neighbourhood already brimming with so many eateries. Four young friends came together to put their love for food and travel experiences in a melting pot called ‘Where Else’. This new café and bar is the brainchild of sibling duo Ardesh and Daisy Rustomjee and best friend duo Amritha Shrikumar and Sweta Jobanputra. These Viman Nagar residents have been firsthand witnesses to the rise of new eateries in their locality. With ‘Where Else’ they aim to fill in the void of a place that offers all-day breakfast and good quality indulgent food. We drove to the outlet in its first week of opening to find out if ‘Where Else’ is the place to be.

First Look Inside Legoland Dubai

Yesterday, I went for the soft opening of Legoland Dubai . It's a much anticipated attraction at the Dubai Parks & Resorts - home also to the Bollywood Parks (I hear you can film your own movie here), MotionGate (a Hollywood inspired theme park), Lapita (a Polynesian, tribal themed Marriott hotel) and Riverland (retail and dining zone). Now who doesn't love Lego right? I remember spending as many hours building Lego house models as I did playing with Barbie! So when you get a free ticket for a trial run of the park, you go! Riverland, the 'reception' zone of Dubai Parks & Resorts; and way in the distance, Bollywood Park The beautiful 500-room Lapita hotel with the beautiful sunset backdrop This wasn't the first Legoland I have visited. On a trip to the U.K., we spent such a fantastic day at the Legoland . Imagine what a fascinating sight it was to my ten year old eyes! I vividly remember seeing a Lego version of a giant Cadbury...
