Delhi haat in London
HindustanTimes.com UK edition - India
The weather is just fine for "importing" Delhi to London, the
two twin cities, which seem to be getting increasingly
inspired by each other. The famous Dilli Haat, which enamoured
Prince Charles so much that he wished he could get it
transported to London, is now being showcased for the
Londoner. The hundreds of thousand of tourists will also be
able to glimpse and "taste" the best of the Dilli Haat at
Trafalgar Square under the watchful eye of Nelson.
Chief minister Sheila Dikshit is coming for the function and
one is quite sure the Greater London mayor Ken Livingston will
be there to renew his rapport with her. But before that Haat
weeks starts Rohit Khattar's Chor Bizarre rated as one of the
top 10 most entertaining restaurant held a "preview" of what
the gourmet should expect at the Haat.
His lunch meet, with all those delicacies of Delhi Hatt, did
more in publicising the event. His chef had flown out to
"learn" about the special cuisine and returned with a few more
pounds added to his weight. A good publicity for the Hatt
dishes. The Delhi government has, one is told, promised to
create the Hatt atmosphere. But its tourism promotion has not
been much. There has been very little - though much needed -
publicity to highlight the event amongst Londoners.
Dilliwala Kabir Bedi, once again an actor in demand, following
his role in the West End musical adaptation of "The Far
Pavilions", inaugurated the food festival at Chor Bizarre. The
ex-St Stephanian reminisced about his college years when he
used to stroll down Daryaganj and Jama Masjid, for a bite. But
there is more than food and theatre happening in the actor's
life. The epic film "Taj Mahal", is being eagerly awaited this
month, in which Bedi is starring as Shahjehan. The villain in
Bond film is now quite a philosopher, "Lets say, I've survived
the bad times. All the work I have been doing over the last
three to four years is starting to show now. It's all coming
together."
So will the Indians, the old, true Londoners and Asians from
all over Britain at Trafalgar Square to visit Delhi Haat.
Dikshit should be congratulated for doing something great for
the image of India and tourism. I hope tourism department
follows her example for greater efforts. |
