Take deep bows, Rohit Khattar and chef Manish Mehrotra. I take both these supremely talented food wizards a little bit for granted, having known them well before they became legit international celebs. It was only after the Delhi launch of Indian Accent , that Manish rose to prominence. Word of mouth about the brilliant chef soon had gourmet diners flocking—and talking!

I was fortunate to be invited by Rohit to attend a pop-up in Mumbai recently, and was not sure I would meet either of them. But, hello! I greeted him with squeals of delight while congratulating the team for the big win.

I was invited to conduct a creative writing workshop sometime around then, and to our amusement we discovered not too many desis wanted to pay for a writing workshop, and the Brits were happy with their own writers, thank you! Little did I know then just how fast Rohit would scale up his projects and make such a huge success out of all of them.

With his passion for jazz, theatre and more, Rohit is a visionary with an eclectic world view and the hard-nosed business sense to see the most challenging hospitality enterprises through. Perhaps, Rohit will get to spend more time in Mumbai once that happens. And we can hang together as we once did in London. Go on… get your bibs on, Mumbaikars.
