“Smoothies, Shakes and Sandwiches”

June 26, 2013: Today morning I hosted a get-together at the Junction Pub of Taj Bengal in honour of Mamata Sharma, the current Chairperson of National Commission for Women in New Delhi, who was in city. I decided to invite women from all walks of life to interact with her informally.

It was a first-of-its-kind event to take place at the Junction titled “Smoothies, Shakes and Sandwiches” or SSS.
The menu lived up to its name with three kinds of sandwiches namely – Aloo Masala in brown bread, paneer bhurjee in croissant and Cucumber mint chutney pinwheel.

In the Smoothies there were Berry and frozen yogurt, banana and peanut butter, avocado and cherry tomato, soymilk and Turkish apricot to choose from while coffee almond, blueberry, strawberry and mango summed up for the Shakes.

The event was well attended as the guests got the invite on short notice. Dona Ganguly, Maneka Sorcar, Agnimitra Paul, Madhu Neotia, Bharati Ray, Bani Basu, Shyamlu Dudheja, Malabika Banerjee and others were there to meet Mamata Sharma.

This event also reminded me of a get-together I had organized with her a couple of years back when she was in Kolkata at the Taj Bengal poolside during winter. ess bee
