    Best looks on the Red Carpet at the Golden Globe Awards 2015

    The 72nd Golden Globe Awards ceremony wrapped up earlier today at The Beverly Hilton Hotel, California and the event witnessed Hollywood glamour at its best. Here are eight actresses who raised the fashion bar and gave us Red Carpet looks that took our breath away!

    Doing sultry the right way was Kate Hudson in this cut-out Atelier Versace gown looking jaw-droppingly gorgeous. Offsetting the sensual outfit, just the right way, was her subtly-done hair and midi-earrings.

    At Smokey’s, American BBQ meets smoke-infused sophistication

    Since Smokey’s opened in Delhi’s GK-II area about a year ago, it has been as influential as every other iconic restaurant in the city. Not only is it famous for its smoke-infused food and cocktails, its flamboyant hospitality and vibrant ambience is what bringstrue connoisseurs back to this restaurant. Restaurateur and owner Shiv Karan Singh walked us through the journey of this now-beloved Delhi haunt. Here are the excerpts from the interview.

Smokey’s is more than a restaurant; it’s an activity space where people can engage and have a great time without pinching their pockets. Yes of course we want everybody to come but I want everybody to remember me for my food more than anything else to be honest.

    smokey-pic1

    One look around the restaurant’s lofty wood and brick decor and you can guess the type of food they serve. From American style barbeque steaks to grills; this restaurant has something to satiate all kinds of palettes.

    Shiv Karan Singh: I love all my food, my steaks, yes I love my steaks and I think what we offer is a very different palette of things whether it’s from the European to the little twist of the Indian taste. So I think we guys must be the one of the first ones to start with burger sliders and burger hot dogs, we do a lot of steaks, we do a lot of good fish; we have ‘red snapper’ we have ‘John Dory’, we have three or four different types of steaks which we offer which is quite known amongst the people out here.

    smokey-pic3

    The entrance of the restaurant is decked with a shot bar and the side wall is decked with coloured arty bottles. Smokey’s takes pride in the innovation they’ve introduced into the preparation of their cocktails.

    Shiv Karan Singh: So we’ve used the smoke element with the liquor so we have a lot of smoke based cocktails out here. Whether you call it a smokey martini, a lock stock, old fashioned, all these are very new with lot of smoke with wood being used with a lot of things infusing together. My personal favourite cocktail here is the ‘smoking lock stock’ which is a vodka based cocktail thatI love, and then John does a ‘Johntini’ its a single malt cocktail which is one of my favourites out here.

    5 products that you must have to get through your NYE celebration!

    It’s that time again when all you can think of is ushering in the New Year with your friends and family. All that planning can get hectic, but what’s worse is waking up on the first day of a fresh year feeling like a hung-over mess with no way to make contact with the real world! Here’s a list of essentials that you must keep with you when you step out at night on the 31st of December.

    #1 A Power Bank

    After all those midnight calls and the drunken charades the last thing you need is your phone running out of battery. Always always carry a power bank to keep your phone alive just in case you need to reach out to your friends or family or for all those first-day-of-the-year selfies.

    #2 A pair of comfy shoes

    Now we are not suggesting you keep an extra pair of shoes in your handbag but do keep an extra pair of flat or comfy (for the men) shoes in the back of your car. New Year’s Eve parties can get really long and tiring and changing into a comfortable pair of shoes towards the end just makes life so much easier.

    #3 Cash

    Plastic money is safe yes, but converting your plastic money to cash at the time of an emergency is not an easy task. While going out for a New Year’s Eve party, do carry extra cash just in case you need a cab or a home safe driver or to help out a friend in need.
