Guest Post- City of Refuge, Hawaii by Rebecca

Travel always fills me with lot of energy and kind of gives a fresh perspective of people, places and things. It most of the times is the best rejuvenating experience and brings back a person refreshed and recharged with lots of memories for life. Traveling allows us to discover facts about a place which are sometimes unknown or lesser known.
Here is a post on Hawaii by Rebecca from Where to this time and it’s totally worth a read

In Hawaiian culture, the City of Refuge or Pu'uhonau was a place where no blood could be shed. If someone had broken a law and they reached this refuge, they were protected and avoided certain death. Then they were absolved by a priest and freed to leave. Defeated warriors and non-combatants could also find refuge here during times of battle.

Qureshi Kebab Corner, Jama Masjid- Out of the world culinary experience


Making most of Ramzaan Time, we headed to Jama Masjid to discover some culinary and gastronomic experiences, we had no plans in mind as in where and what to eat and left decisions on impromptu gut feels. As we started walking down the lane, it was bustling with people and the aroma of kebabs and quorma's was in the air and almost every shop seemed to tempt, but this particular outlet had most rush and that increased our inquisitiveness and we thought of giving it a try. They were serving only seekh kebabs both beef and chicken and we started by ordering just 2 pieces of chicken seekh and what a pleasantly delectable experience it was. The kebabs were mouth watering, delicious, scrumptious, amazing, awesome and just out of this world. Very soft, tender and succulent, they were literally melting in the mouth. From 2 seekhs for just trying, we ended up ordering 4 more and relishing it with roomali rotis. I highly recommend this place, one must visit and try their kebabs and you will want to go back every now and then.

Restaurant Review- IC's Hotel, Jamia Nagar

“Never Judge A Book By Its Cover” a very famous saying that sometimes really holds true in practical aspects of life. I recently went to this eatery called IC’s Hotel and no other phrase can describe this place better. It's a small hotel situated in the hustling bustling street of Jamia Nagar and may be just because of the location and the surroundings you will end up giving it a skip, but I assure you, once you open the door and enter the property, you will be very pleasantly surprised. Its chic, classy and very appropriate to take the entire family out for relishing a authentic mughlai cuisine. There is no dirth of outlets/restaurants serving authentic Mughlai Cuisine in Jamia, but there are not many places where you can sit back, relax and enjoy the meals with entire family, most other restaurants don't have appropriate sitting space and environment, but this place is definitely different.
