No bigger battle was ever won without winning the smaller ones first. Wrote the Mastani post from memory of visiting Gujjar Cold Drink House in Budhwar Peth many years ago #NeverGiveUp

Happy to share Chowder Singh now ranks No 1 on certain keywords on Google. No 1 on Google is never easy. Top 10 is considered excellent and Top 5 brilliant. These are smaller keywords with lesser traffic, but it’s important to win the smaller battles first. #NeverGiveUp

Many times in life, things don’t go your way or as planned. My blog Chowder Singh got hacked some time ago and I’d to rebuild it. Lost all my previous data and had to create new posts. Some from memory and stored photographs and chowdersingh.com #NeverGiveUp

Went back to Nagpur Hotel in Sadashiv Peth #Pune after 12 years. Glad to see them maintain their standards. They serve Saoji style of food and their Mutton Rassa and Fry are delicious. Served with jowar chi bhakri, which’s made on charcoal. One of Pune’s hidden gems

The Bolhai chi Mutton is a #Pune phenomenon. In Pune and surrounding areas of Ahmednagar and Satara. Hindu owned restaurants serve sheep and not goat meat. Goat meat is forbidden according to local customs chowdersingh.com/eateries-pune/…

Oh Pune! How much I’ve missed you So happy to be back at Nagpur Hotel after 12 years. Bigger fancier places have opened up around it, but this little gem continues to do what it does best - Bholaichi mutton fry with jowar chi bhakri #Pune #IndianFood
