Unleash the Nostalgia within You at Bunta Bar in Delhi

To the point – An Amusing Bar with a Desi Swirl-Bunta Bar

Bunta Bar is the new kid on the block. It is fun and quirky. Seated in the kernel of Janpath, this place takes you on a roller coaster ride back to your childhood, reminiscing the days when after playing for hours under the scorching summer sun, you were greeted with a pleasant summer cooler, popularly known as Bunta. Aah that sharp piercing cry out to your friends still resonates in the ears - ‘Bunta wala bhaiyaa agaya’!

Bunta Bar in the capital city is the right place to be in to rekindle those treasured memories. The ambience is vibrant and interior is spacious. Bunta bottles are found everywhere. Even, the chandeliers are made up of Bunta bottles. The menu is as quirky as the décor is. Patrons of all ages can come here, and there is something for everyone. Flock into here to expect nothing less than tongue-tickling drinks and mouth-crackling Indian snacks – it has upped the delicious quotient of Delhi restaurants and bars.

Start your evenings with Babaji Ki Booti, Pehchan Kon and Baba Ramdev – they are served in cute-looking tea pots, and are high on taste. Next, savor your taste buds with their signature Bunta cocktails in the flavors of Kala Khatta Vodka and Aam Panna Bunta. To say the least, they were equally good but not less.

Just because it is a bar, don’t think the food served will be of okayish standard. In fact, the food menu is full of eccentricities; pure desi touch is found in every dish rolled out from the kitchen. In starters, try to order Chakna Platter, Mangodi Vada and Baigan Bharta taco and for main course, treat yourself with Rajha Chilli Pork, Kasundi Fish and Mutton Curry. The dishes are cooked to perfection, the fish is so succulent that it simply melts in your mouth and the mutton is also decently cooked to exude out the rich flavors.

Bunta Bar is associated with Yup Card. Now, with a YUP Card student’s privilege card, soak yourself in a wide array of promotional offers at restaurants near your place. Pay a meager annual subscription of 499/- and open a box full of happiness.

May Laughter Bless You: The Success Story of Kenny Sebastian

Comedy is a joy-evoking activity and probably it is the only way of preventing war and promoting peace. Comic enthusiasts are strong advocates of comedy being a form of art. Although the art has undergone some serious changes over the years, the motto of comic acts has remained the same and that is to evoke happiness into the minds of the audience.

Modern stand-up comedy

The history of modern stand-up comedy can be traced back to 1970’s when a new generation of comedians started this new type of comic. One of the important features of the modern stand-up comic is the inclusion of socio-political jokes that were not common earlier. Suddenly the comic scenario witnessed a significant revolution, as comic artists started using their freedom of speech and expression, in order to point out the society issues in a funnier tone. New comedy clubs were established in the USA, UK, and many other countries. But, India was still far from experiencing such an innovative form of comedy until 2000’s. However, once the Indian stand-up comedians started participating in the art, not only did we laugh but also became proud of them. One such stand-up artist is Kenneth Sebastian, whom most of us know by his nickname ‘Kenny’.

The journey of Kenny

Kenny was born in a middle-class family and his father is an Indian army officer. His childhood was a significant one, as he travelled across the country and had done his schooling in different schools. Right from his childhood, Kenny has been a creative personality and had an interest in filmmaking. He started making short films at the age of 15 and until he became 23, he already had directed and acted in a comedy show aired on ‘Comedy Central’. And the name of the show was ‘The Living Room’.
