<p>Delhi&rsquo;s beloved restaurant Chor Bizarre, led by Chef Srinivasulu, comes to Mumbai for the first time at Saffron, JW Marriott, Juhu for three nights (in two dinner slots), starting May 24 through 26. Diners can select from signature dishes including tabak maaz, dum aloo, haaq, roganjosh, nadru yakhni and goshtaba, served on a traditional copper tarami. &ldquo;Although there are influences of Kashmiri cuisine on North Indian food, Mumbai&rsquo;s exposure to Kashmiri cuisine is limited so people are eager to savour the cuisine with the authenticity of the ceremonial Wazwan and traditional Kashmiri Pundit cooking,&rdquo; says Srinivasulu. &ldquo;This pop-up event will allow guests to enjoy Chor Bizarre&rsquo;s signature dishes, and it will be a beautiful reminder of refined rituals,&rdquo; says Chef Gaurav Malhotra, Executive Chef, JW Marriott Mumbai Juhu.</p>

<p>Udvada&rsquo;s famous Caf&eacute; Farohar, run by mother-son duo Hilla and Shezad Marolia, is coming closer to home. This 200-seater outlet on NH-8 at Palghar&mdash;which opens on Friday&mdash;is for people returning to the city on that stretch and taking a pitstop at FoodHub. The cafe in Udvada is always packed from breakfast to dinner on any given day, and the founders are expecting a similar crowd of Parsi and non-Parsi patrons. &ldquo;Of the 250 dishes on our original menu at Udvada, most dishes will be served here. Breakfast items like akuri, bun maska and choi will be available all day&mdash;the idea is to offer Parsi food and our signature dishes to those looking for an authentic taste. Fresh ingredients are sourced daily, and we buy our own spices and grind them ourselves,&rdquo; says Shezad.</p>

<p>Our in-house cricket nut tells us that today is the silver jubilee of one of India&rsquo;s most forgettable one-day matches. On May 19, 1999, India took on Zimbabwe at Grace Road, Leicester, in the ODI World Cup. Mohd Azharuddin&rsquo;s team were without Sachin Tendulkar who had flown to India for his father&rsquo;s funeral, so there was gloom all around. Azhar elected to field and the Flower brothers Grant (45) and Andy (68 not out) helped the Zimbabweans post 252-9 in 50 overs. India&rsquo;s reply was far from impressive and their batsmen were troubled by the late Heath Streak (3-36). Henry Olonga claimed three wickets in a second spell that sent back Robin Singh, Javagal Srinath and Venkatesh Prasad. India failing to get nine runs for victory in two overs made it a day to forget for cricket fans in this part of the world. But Zimbabwe had to be hailed for their spark and spirit in a thrilling game which Alistair Campbell&rsquo;s bunch won by three runs.</p>
<h2>Where there&rsquo;s a wheelchair&hellip;</h2>

<p>&hellip;there&rsquo;s a way. Rahul Ramugade, captain of the Mumbai wheelchair cricket team will be off to cast his vote on Monday. He will drive down to the booth in Bhandup, in his specially designed car, and then get on to his wheelchair hoping to be able to access the ballot. Said the spirited Ramugade, &ldquo;Earlier, I used to live in Santa Cruz and could access the ballot box as there was a ramp at the polling station. I &nbsp;shifted to Bhandup two years ago... I have been told though that there should be no problem and there will be facilities to access the booth here at my new polling address. Let&rsquo;s see how it goes.&rdquo; Welcome to cricket and the Indian Poll League (IPL). As for Ramugade, he has a message for the citizens: &ldquo;if I can, why can&rsquo;t you?&rdquo;</p><p>
