Like I said, there is no other joint in the country where you can mix Portishead or Massive Attack with beer. And the jukebox has been there for more than 30 years. It's a Parsi owned place, the music has to be great.whitelighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712723381825195447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-1166524411066086422006-12-19T16:03:00.000+05:302006-12-19T16:03:00.000+05:30hey did you know its actually "Turquoise Cottage o...hey did you know its actually "Turquoise Cottage of the Orient".....i know... even i couldn't believe it !!!

The play list was repetitive (Losing my religion was a favourite then). Have not been there since. Like you, my friends in Delhi too have a similar opinion about TC now.<BR/><BR/>There should be a place like Mondy’s in Delhi too. That place has a jukebox. The music you have there is awesome, from Beatles to Portishead to Supergrass (I guess nowhere in India will you have Portishead playing in a pub). Spend 100 rupees, cue 20 songs and have a great time.whitelighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712723381825195447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382033.post-1166440018077324932006-12-18T16:36:00.000+05:302006-12-18T16:36:00.000+05:30This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.whitelighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12712723381825195447noreply@blogger.com
