These new restaurants in Mumbai serve a rarity: style and substance. If you are looking to indulge in delectable food and great design, Indian Accent, NMACC, BKC Thea, Bandra Wakai, Bandra Pleo,BKC CIRQA – 1960, Lower Parel Cray Craft Que Sera Sera, Andheri
New places to explore in Mumbai? Any recommendations?

Hey, @ParisMatch : un jour, j’ai vu le visage de l’homme qui m’avait violée à la Une d’un journal. En exergue, il disait : « on m’a bousillé la vie ». C’était dans le petit kiosque de la gare TGV. J’ai lu, j’ai eu envie de me jeter sous un train. Sinon,ça va, ton choix éditorial.
J’attends avec impatience une Une et un article de 4 pages sur ce que deviennent les femmes qui ont pris la parole avec courage ! Vous vous souvenez ? Vous vous souvenez de leur nom ? Ça ne fait sans doute pas vendre. Rien ne changera tant que le point de vu ne changera pas.

This will make the streets more equal. Currently, cars/ rich take the largest pie of the road. This may mean shortening of roads but hopefully it will help streamline both traffic and waist lines. It will mean safe and secure cycling lanes for kids and seniors. Health for all👍🏻💪🏼
Some have asked to provide #cycling corridor so citizens could cycle to work. Pros-less cars on roads, cons-shortening of available roads. Plan Worli to Nariman Point and Dadar/Santacruz/Vileparle to bkc initially. Let’s know what you think #mumbai

SERVANT (Apple+): If there’s anything creepier or more bingeworthy than this, I don’t know what it is. Tight focus, great acting and atmosphere. Two seasons available. No, that’s wrong. 1 episode still outstanding.

Zendaya won an Emmy for #Euphoria, but has yet to be nominated at the #GoldenGlobes. The HFPA mysteriously snubbed her last year for the HBO series and again this year for Netflix’s #MalcolmAndMarie. bit.ly/3cEemTI
