Khar’s sizzler
In August, when we visited Raasta Bombay, a Rastafarian-themed lounge that’s made its way from Delhi to Khar, the owners revealed to this diarist about their keenness to convert the terrace into a rooftop section. Now, that plan is ready. Come next week, and guests can enjoy the city’s faux winter at this space that’s equipped with a bar and a barbecue station. The BBQ menu includes Jerk Chicken Skewers, German Frankfurters and juicy Pork Ribs. While we’re yet to check the space out, we’re glad to see city restaurateurs going the BBQ route.

Tick tock, the clock is back!
Clock towers form an integral part of Mumbai’s streetscape — especially the heritage precincts of SoBo. Each time a clock tower gets restored, this diarist does a virtual jig to celebrate these perennial timekeepers, especially if they’ve tracked centuries under their watchful guard. Conservation architect Vikas Dilawari who helmed the restoration work of the Wadia Clock Tower, recently tweeted that this structure had been brought to its former glory. He wrote: ‘Finally, after the restoration the time sees sunshine again.’
