Depot 48 Revives The Baithak: Ronkini Gupta Performs in an Intimate Setting

This past weekend, Depot 48 brought back the charm of the traditional baithak with an evocative Hindustani classical performance by vocalist Ronkini Gupta. Once confined to formal auditoriums, this format is finding its way back into intimate spaces—and Depot 48 is leading the way. The evening unfolded at its own pace—unhurried alaaps, playful improvisations, and a room listening with intent. For over a decade, Depot 48 has been a space where genres coexist—classical, jazz, and experimental—creating a culture of listening that feels communal rather than ceremonial.

Ronkini Gupta reflected on the experience:
“Baithak is about intimacy and shared silence—something we miss in large auditoriums. Depot 48 was the sweet spot where these nuances came together. For me to present a pure classical set in this setting was an exciting experience.”

Punjab Grill, the acclaimed name in Indian fine dining, announces the launch of its latest culinary festival, 'Kebab Dikanhiya - A Voyage from Persia to India,' commencing 10th November 2025 across Delhi-NCR, Mumbai, and Bangalore.

This edition of the festival brings forth an exquisite exploration of kebabs, tracing their historical journey from the ancient lands of Persia to the royal courts and vibrant kitchens of India.

Each dish has been designed to awaken all five senses, creating a multisensory dining experience that transcends taste alone.

The Hariyali Kebab pairs charred broccoli with Hyderabadi khubani, coated in white sesame and pan-seared in desi ghee for a sweet and nutty finish.

Ande Ka Funda is a playful creation where marinated eggs, grilled in the tandoor, surprise diners with their paneer-like appearance yet robust egg flavour.
