When I find some time to relax and go out, I would want to go to a place where I can walk peacefully for sometime, buy a book or a gadget, eat good food and watch a movie. I know Mavalli Tiffin Room(MTR) at Lalbagh for long time though I never visited it. Last sunday I could make it finally!
By the time I have reached Urvasi theatre, it was 12.30 pm. Surprisingly, Urvasi theatre has an advanced booking counter now! Sooner or later I guess all these theatres will migrate to multiplex culture. Its good in some ways and bad in all other ways. Good part is that you can experience more comfort and luxury while watching a movie. Few of the several bad things are, ticket prices get hiked up, parking prices go up. Anyways, I had booked a ticket for SpiderMan 3 for 2.30 pm show and walked in to MTR which is just 50 meters away.
MTR is surprisingly larger than what I thought it is. Through articles in news papers and through some of my friends, I got an impression that its a small place and is too crowded most of the times. To my surprise, it is decently large in size with two floors and is not so crowded because there are people who take the responsibility to show you a seat. This hotel is unique in a way that its attire is very old. In kitchen there are very old utensils and tools that they use to cook ( like a traditional grinder, traditional pot from where they churn cream from curd to make butter milk). Next to all there is a Computer :)
They have supplied huge variety of items for lunch. Food was hmmmm... decent. What I liked most was bisebele bath. You should pour ghee and eat it, heavenly ! I also liked the chutney that they supplied with dosa. Its good to go to MTR once in a while when you do not eat heavy breakfast.
Post lunch, I went to Lalbagh. It was my first visit to it. Lalbagh is usually crowded on saturdays and sundays. After an hour of walking in the garden I returned to Urvasi for watching the movie.
I suggest you to avoid Urvasi theatre for matinee shows. Airconditioning is not able to keep the theatre cool because the theature is very wide and tall. But the sound system and screen are excellent. In all watching movie there is worth it except that I was soaked with sweat.
In all it was a beautiful sunday afternoon!
