Hindustan Times Delhi
|September 24, 2025
Painting a neighbourhood's portrait through the perspective of two cafés
Two cafés both alike in dignity, in fair “Niz East” where we lay our scene.
Today's tale is set in tony Nizamuddin East. The central Delhi address is filled with bungalows, apartments, parks, and trees. It is also full of celebrity residents—salam Mira Nair, namaste Vikram Seth. Even so, the place is very sleepy. Nothing much is seen outside the grand residences, except for the well-fed community dogs.
