Tigers Experience: Bhootsavar / Behad Chal / Fad - 2013 Last Qtr

(totally Tigers and his friends  voices opinions ideas n thoughts ,nothing personal just for a good laugh thats it , dont unfriend me (yeh bhee ek latest trend hai)dont get angry just read and enjoy living .) All the below have been compiled in the last quarter of 2013 , these are trends that we all follow .


1. Destination Weddings and Birthdays - Goa / Jaipur/ Thailand - so cool and to top it having wedding abroad then having themes like gowns and Dinner jackets wah kya baat hai .. i know of a family which took India top chef along with his team for the food to italy ... and we are under recession .. hadd hai - and the deals the host give the guest are amazing , some with tickets some without tickets ... wonder what works . Have seen kids taking a bunch of friends to goa for the 18th wah wah Mera Bharat mahan.

2. Avocado - ya man suddenly this lil fruit is in everything salads , dips etc  Once a fruit like this reaches the weddings means its become a commodity.

3. Exhibitions- Going to several diff embassies , sales in hotels , bridal shows - ufff  flooded with women and more women - so the pattern is lunch and the exhibitions.

4. Cupcakes or did we do this earlier - yes they are still alive specially the red velvet ones and now i have seen the alphabet wale also 

5. Mr. or Ms. Know It All. ... They are doing rounds everywhere. ... insensitive uncouth and too demanding. .. God save all those who have to bear the brunt..... so we call them social climbers or social parasites

6. YOGA n meditation ...the new mantra.. You have to have a Yoga Guru - which is very good as long as it is not a social status statement.

7. FB savvy entrepreneurs - Social media , online Pr , Online image management - seeing thru Fb - pop up shops - so trendy 

8. Opening a Restaurant - this is something even i want to do but am scared , but i see kids with a bit of a surplus jumping into opening restaurants HKV is a big example of this .

9. Gluten free and vegan - more than being conscious aware it is used as social statement now days .. yaar brown bread khao aur mast raho

10. Wine: obsession with 'sparkling wine' these days!! Seen so many new wines available , table sparkling etc etc - style hai jee . Just becos some doc said a glass of wine is healthy everyday .

11. SUFI singers in every pub ;This I fail to understand - a club which has avery hip happening name - connects to EDm suddenly realizes that sufi only connects with people .. and declares SUFI Nights 

12.Cycling :  A Great bhed chaal - So many cycling clubs have come up some meet for breaks others for bird watching so interesting . A good one for sure .

13. Commedy nights with Kapil and baba jee ka thuluu - Ya man every party you go to Kapil is being discussed and how they all miss Gutthi...followed by an in depth analysis of each character .

14. DSLR Camera : Well im one of them craving for a DSLR , but its not funny how this wave has hit kids ,each is carrying one ont heir shoulders and they all use Auto mode to shoot.

15. Quinoa - First toh people should learn to pronounce the name before throwing it around at parties to make a statement - Kinooaaa is the way to pronounce it . Very healthy option , very expesive also m not readily available in the market being an import .

16. Apple cider - Haan this one also like above - is an direct influence of the masterchef series on TV - very healthy option hence a bhed chaal .

17.Delhi 6 by metro for food - uff what a hype ,I was one of them who went for this ride - btw delhi 6 (Chandni Chowk )food  quality has really gone down prices up thanks to all the popularity. 

18.Fusion food - Fusion of All the eastern food acceptable - Fusion of north with east is a killer , Indian with Continental is a maha discovery . 

19.Air fryer / rotimatic - Hahahahaha total Fad - buy a Air Fryer to eat potato chips and Samsosas is what a feriend said to me about this new toy , please man how oftwen do u eat both huh , and why cant u oven roast them . Rotimatic is amazing not tried but is catching up for sure .

20.bbm - Yeh apple wale bhee pagal hain , they declare i BBM is free and now on iphone hey bhagwan what a mad rush it was to download and post pin number of FB , people went mad .

21.green tea too - Healthy Behed Chaal , let it pass

22.ICE CREAM wala PAAN Or Paan with Ice cream - This came as total googly wala surprise at a wedding in punjabi bagh - Meethapaan with butter scotch ice cream - wow , was a awesome fusion exercise by the pan wala ; and no w also u get paan flavored ice cream now how gross can that be 

23.Patthar ka gosht- So much competition but nothing authentic - each says there's is the original - still awaiting the opriginal to be shown and discovered .

24.Backless Blouses lol what to say about these - its a good bhed chaal as they are saving kapda , expense and yet being the eye tonic of others ....  Yaar tumhe thand nahi lagti kya 

25.Lungi dance party - Actually a fun dance - lungi dance - every pub , every barat is playing it - Pyjama party, Choga party  and lungi party 

26.FOndue - Did not click - every one tried it but no one went mad .

27.Ready made Rangoli - One diwali morning i got up and saw this most amazing rangoli int he neighbors drive - i sad to my self Gupta jee's daughter has done an amazing job , called the entire household to see it - and in came a breeze the rangoli got spoilt - ten minutes later the girl comes with a stencil and remakes the whole thing , i was like ehhhh

28.Ice station ... Make ur own ice cream concoction ... again a new wedding funda - sorry even five stars are doing wht mumbai dis years ago - nice taka tak ice cream 

29.CAKE MIXING - wonder what it means but all hotels etc are offering the same and its go the buzz - Yet another case of following the west like valentines , mothers day etc - they did now we do it 

30. Food Walks - Boss in delhi have seen - Delhi 6 , Noida, West Delhi , you name it that area has had a walk for foodies - Photo walks - very interesting funda  

31.Galawati kebabs on that small roti - every wedding - Fed Up ,once a delicacy now a a sheer No No , they all taste the same ,spicy like hell - needs to go of the menu's soon 

32. Picture wala Cake - Very interesting - very personal , im a bit scared about eating these pictures - made by machines , dunno what chemicals they must have put . But yes people are going crazy about them .

33.Massage parlours/ Spa's haven't seen so many in years - almost every colony has three - dunno how the mathematics works for them - such beautiful spa's people have spent huge amount of money to design these massage rooms - how  many people do actually cisit them for whatever purpose - then what happens these guys also start having exhibitions on sarees and clothes to survive.

34. Sundowners ...... most happening - means extended drinking hours thats it - not understood this funda but the good part is that Dinner is early and u can get home at a good reasonable hour but it also means u start drinking as early as 5.30 

35.Pink Pants - Pink shirts look nice on the metro sexual men but pink pants give me other ideas .Will get used to it for sure . He wore blue suede shoes so why cant the boys wear pink pants 

36.Beagle or huskies - Ya once it was the Vodafone Pug now it is this sweet beagle and the Siberian huskies - the most gorgeous animal i have seen, green eyes, alert dont know if they are friendly or not - will test my neighbors dog and tell .But yes image and social status dogs

37.1 minute saree. - Zip Zap Zoom - zip it and u have a saree happening - these have always been around - but now the working ladies are seriously patronising them .

38.Low neck lines - Haaaw . I belive in this line " If you can carry it flaunt it - and thats what these social ites are doing .... actually now no one even cares about the neckline - the most thurkee of men have also given up .


39.Upside down dishes - new in food fundas - cakes and now rice - i had saffron rice which was upside down a Persian dish - both are nice 

40. Dance Sequence at weddings and functions - Yaar earlier it was a very marwari thingy to have the family work on dance sequences and perform on the sangeet , now damnit every wedding every birthday every 50th they ask you to join rehearsals and them dance on the D day .
