It was like any other day in office and as usual, I was glued to my laptop until my phone buzzed at 10 A.M.
“Sanjeev, come to my cabin, NOW” my reporting manager shouted from the other end.
I rushed to his cabin. However, before entering I peeped in through the glass window, he looked furious and upset.
Before I could enter and close the door, he screamed “Sanjeev, I want you to fire Pankaj immediately.”
It was an email from Neha Desai, our training manager. She had sent an email to Raj, our VP-HR with CC to all C-Level Executives, accusing Pankaj of sexually harassing her during their tour to Ahmedabad together. She demanded an immediate action against Pankaj or else she would file a police complaint.
“Pankaj, don’t pretend. What did you do with Neha in Ahmedabad?” I asked him angrily.
“I didn’t do anything to Neha Madam. What are you talking about?” he said innocently.
“Pankaj, Neha has filed a complaint against you sexually harassed her. I have instructions to fire you”, I informed him.
With tears rolling down his cheeks, he began, “That day when we reached Ahmedabad…”
“Don’t hide anything. I want to know everything”, I interrupted.
He could barely speak. He took two hours to narrate the entire incident.
Sexual Abuse of a Man at Workplace
“The day before our departure to Ahmedabad, Neha Madam called me to inform that instead of her team member, Pooja, she would come along with me as Pooja was unwell. She asked me to wait near Kingfisher counter. Our flight was at 7:40 am. I reached the airport at 5:30 am and madam came by 6 am. After going through security check, we learnt that many flights were delayed or cancelled due to fog. Our flight too was rescheduled for 8:45 am and then for 10 am and finally was cancelled. Upon our request, the staff agreed to accommodate us in next flight at 3:15 PM and boarding passes could be collected at 1 PM.

She ordered for coffee and asked me if it was alright with me if she changed into something comfortable. I said that’s alright. Within 5 minutes, she came out in a red colour nightgown. While waiting for coffee, she tried to probe into my love life, bedroom life, etc. After coffee, when I was about to leave, she held my hand and said she was scared of sleeping alone and if I could share the room with her. I declined but she advanced on me and started kissing saying no one would ever come to know. I was terrified. I prised myself away and ran towards the door. She yelled at me that no one ever refused her, not even CEO. Then she threatened me of dire consequences if I didn’t submit myself to her. I pleaded to let go of me. She laughed, looked at me sarcastically while I was leaving.
Induction program went very well. After lunch, she requested if she could use my room to change her clothes for her scheduled flight to Bangalore at 6 PM. I agreed. She then asked me to come to the room to finish last night’s pending work. I ignored and told her to submit my keys at reception when she is done. She left fuming.
I was revolted, more by the fact that it was impossible to present any proof of Pankaj’s innocence.
“Let me see what can be done”, I assured him. And we walked out of the conference room.
I fixed a meeting with Raj after half an hour. I asked Pankaj to accompany me.
“Sir, he is Pankaj”, I introduced.
Raj fixed me with a fierce gaze. “Sanjeev, what is he doing in my cabin? Why is this pervert not fired yet”?
“Sir, we need 5 minutes of your time. That email is bogus. You must hear him out as well. Please, Sir. Just 5 minutes”, I pleaded like anything.
“Okay, tell me and stick to objective”, he said, turning his focus back to his laptop.
And then he begins to type something on this laptop as if he is least interested.
Pankaj narrated everything again. Once he finished, Raj asked him to leave and told me to sit.
“Sanjeev, why are you meddling with the things? The decision has been taken. Pankaj needs to go”, He told me.
“Sir, he is innocent. He has a family to look after. We need to give him a fair chance”, I justified.
“Innocent? How do you know that? Maybe he is creating a story. For a moment, even if I believe what he is saying is right then what? Who else will believe his story”, he countered.
“But sir, as Pankaj said and even I have heard from few employees that she sleeps with others in organization…” I said before he interrupted.
“Sanjeev, you have lost it. No one will come forward to give statements against her. Pankaj could have done what others did. What’s so big deal? Look we don’t have time to waste. If she goes to the police, it will affect the reputation of the organization. It’s not worth a risk for a junior employee. Let him go. You will get better people. There are many available in the market”, I explained.
“Sir, he belongs to a very poor family. He is the only breadwinner in the family. It will affect their economic condition. I am sure, we can do something”, I requested him.
“Alright, give me time to think. I will get back to you by tomorrow morning. Let me speak to Neha and our CEO”, he assured me.
Next day morning, as soon as Raj reached the office, he called me into his cabin.
“Sanjeev, I spoke to our CEO and Neha. Considering his financial situation, Neha has agreed to take back her complaint, provided Pankaj give her written apology. We must give him a written warning for insubordination of his senior. There must not be any complaint against him. One more complaint and he will be out”, He pronounced.
Pankaj wrote an apology to Neha. I gave him a written warning. A copy of the warning was placed in his personal file.
Within next two months, Pankaj got a new job and he moved out. Neha has also left the company. I also moved out of the organization for another assignment.
This incident made me ponder that even males could be a victim of sexual harassment. Our society doesn’t endorse. We have no legislation to cover sexual crimes against men. Sexual relation is a personal choice. Forcing anyone into a physical relation is rape.
With this tale, I am neither denoting that all females in corporate are Neha nor endorsing that all males are Pankaj. This world is full of good and bad people of both sexes. Let’s not be biased and let’s not judge someone blindfolded.
What would you have done had you been in place of Pankaj? Please share your feedback and experiences.

What you see here is a maple liqueur made with 4 year old Jim Beam whiskey and some other mysterious things (of which we can assume include maple syrup or a flavouring that makes stuff taste like it!)
Maple is one of the flavours that you may find naturally occurring in a whiskey - so I’d imagine it’s not a huge stretch to try upping the ante in flavour with a little…assistance. Which I suppose is great, if you like maple
Previously Jim Beam’s flavoured whiskey liqueurs were nested under the Red Stag brand, but with this one it seems that they’ve decided to take a slightly different approach in their branding. This is supposedly because they want to tempt their existing (predominantly male) customer base to try something new. Maybe they are big tough men who think that anything less than unadulterated liquor is for pussies. It’s also 35% ABV, instead of the 40% which you’ll find in the Red Stag range.
Flavoured whiskey liqueurs really seemed to take off after Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey came onto the scene circa 2011 - starting a trend which has seen lots of big name American distilleries experimenting with sweeter flavours. That said, I’m sure that Drambuie have been up to something similar for longer still (but with more Scottish accents and cold weather)

plot twist: i don’t have any maple syrup

It has been a common and age old business strategy, well adopted by FMCG companies like Uniliver, Amway. The principle is simple. ' When you want to kill competition for your product, launch a competing product yourself". Then consumers have to buy either of the products and the company is benefited in either case.
This is what is seen in RT Nagar main road, one of the happening roads of Bengaluru, karnakata, India. Mr. Sathish reddy, the promoter of the retail chain started a firm by name Optical express back in 2009. He had to fight for survival with Biggies like Udani opticals, Hithanyana opticals, Shiva vision care, Shindhe vision care and many more on the same road. Howver, after few years of hard work, as on 2013, Optical Xpress is doing pretty well.
When he learnt that 2 important stores of competition are shutting operations on the same road, Its at this point Mr.Sathish reddy wanted to open his own store with a different name.
The two stores are just a 100 mtrs away. The new store is BIGGER, BRIGHTER, MORE COLLECTIONS, MORE BRAND, MORE STAFF etc.
People will find best quality Spectacle Frames of International, Indian brands for the price of customer's choice. Brands like Maui jim, Ray bank, Oakley, TOM FORD, Tommy Hilfiger, Gucci and many more are available. The store has got a wider range of Contact lens products, solutions, Spectacle lenses, accessories. The store has got imported machinery to offer world class eye testing Facility for customers.

So, the mighty ASDA have turned their considerable resources to the art of whisky production, with the launch of their Extra Special Tasgall range of whiskies. £50 for a 25 year (even if it is a blend) is pretty impressive, and based on the what I tried with a nuked palette at ASDA’s press tasting a few months back, it’s rather good. They also offer a 30 for £60 which I would quite like to get my hands on and compare this one with.
As I understand it the word ’Tasgall’ has its origins in Norse mythology, meaning "cauldron of the gods” - the T on the logo looks quite similar to an inverted Thor’s Hammer. An excellent motif for a dram, for sure - but will the flavour match up? I’ll let you know when I try it properly :v

Lovaina (Leuven, Louvain, Löwen) es una ciudad de Bélgica, ubicada en la confluencia de los ríos Dijle y Voer. Y capital de la provincia de Brabante Flamenco, en la región de Flandes.
El principal recurso económico de la villa es la universidad, lo que hace que se le conozca desde el barroco como «ciudad de estudiantes y monjas». Y durante el año académico la mayoría de los habitantes del centro son estudiantes.
La Universidad Católica de Lovaina (KU Leuven), fundada en 1425, es una de las más antiguas del mundo, es la más grande de Bélgica y está entre las mejores del mundo. Según el ranking de Reuters, la KU Leuven es la segunda universidad más innovadora de Europa, solo superada por el Imperial College de Londres.
Lovaina es el lugar de nacimiento de varias cervezas como Stella Artois, Leuvense Tripel, Domus y Keizersberg. Y tiene varios bares que se enorgullecen de ofrecer una amplia variedad de cervezas locales e internacionales (uno de ellos presume de ofrecer más de 3.000 cervezas diferentes.
Entre sus monumentos cabe destacar la biblioteca de la universidad, incendiada durante la Primera Guerra Mundial y reconstruida con aportaciones de las universidades estadounidenses. La plaza Mayor o «Grote Markt», con un espléndido Ayuntamiento típico de la arquitectura flamenca. La «Oude Markt», o plaza vieja, centro de la noche universitaria.
Especial atención merece el beaterio o begijnhof o Beguinaje, que la Unesco declaró patrimonio de la humanidad y que es en realidad un viejo monasterio habilitado como colegio mayor de estudiantes.
La iglesia de San Pedro (1425-1500) fue acabada por Jan Keldermans y Matheus de Layens. y hay varias pinturas de los siglos XVII y XVIII, pero la más famosa es la gótica Última cena de Dirk Bouts. Aquí se encuentra la tumba del duque Enrique I de Brabante. Su torre, de 50 metros de altura, estaba pensada para alcanzar los 169 metros, pero nunca se completó, alberga un carillón. Y fue incluida en la lista de la Unesco de «Campanarios de Bélgica y Francia» en 1999.
Leuven or Louvain is the capital and largest city of the province of Flemish Brabant in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is located about 25 kilometres (16 miles) east of Brussels. It is the eighth largest city in Belgium, with more than 100,244 inhabitants.
Leuven has been a university city since 1425. This makes it the oldest university city in the Low Countries. KU Leuven, the largest Dutch-speaking university in the world and the largest university in the Low Countries (and thus also Belgium's largest university), has its flagship campus in Leuven.
Leuven is the worldwide headquarters of Anheuser-Busch InBev, the largest beer company in the world and is considered one of the largest fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) companies in the world. InBev's Stella Artois brewery and main offices dominate the entire north-eastern part of the town, between the railway station and the canal to Mechelen. Finally, Leuven is the ancestral home of the KBC Group. KBC is one of the leading financial groups in Europe. It is a multi-channel bank-insurance group, with a geographic focus on Belgium and Central Europe, catering mainly to retail clients, SMEs and local midcaps. As one of the largest companies in Belgium and it has its insurance and auto lease HQ in Leuven.
Leuven has a rich beer culture, being the birthplace of several beers such as Stella Artois, Leuvense Tripel, Domus and Keizersberg. It has several bars priding themselves in offering a wide variety of local and international beers, including a bar that claims to offer more than 3000 different beers.
Leuven has a large international student population, mainly concentrated around the city centre. The Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven; University of Leuven) has two campuses in the city, with a total of more than 45,000 students as of January 2020. It is the oldest Catholic university still in existence in the world, and the largest university in Belgium. There are also a number of hogescholen (universities of applied sciences), such as the UC Leuven-Limburg (UCLL).
One of Belgium's conservatories is based in Leuven: the Lemmens Institute, which is described as "Faculty of Music, Performing Arts and Education". It is known for its music therapy education and its wordart-drama education. Kunstencentrum STUK is a cultural centre and venue in the city center for music, theatre, sound art, and dance. Leuven holds a summer rock festival, Marktrock. Leuven has some university orchestras, such as the University Symphony Orchestra (USO), the University Symphonic Band (UHO). and the Arenberg Orchestra.
Sorry about the cheesy grin. I took this selfie of me from the balcony of FMCG's hospitality suite situated in Brooklands Suite overlooking the Wellington Straight.

To promote their 'moo-ing pack' sold in-store, JCDecaux Innovate created sonic sound 6 sheets at store entrances on selected supermarkets nationwide. The 6 sheets 'mooed' when passers by activated the sound sensor fixed on the 6 sheet. If customers pick up a mooing pack they would win a luxury holiday!

I was in a meeting when my mobile buzzed. A closer look flashed the name of Kabir. I excused myself from the meeting and answered the call, “Hey, Kabir. How are you? Tell me, what can I do for you? How come you thought of me at this moment”? “Sanjeev Sir, I need a career advice from you”, he said. He needed a career advice through a phone call at this time of the day. It was very confusing. “Kabir, right now I am in a meeting. Let’s meet at my place at around 7 PM. We will discuss it there”, I suggested. “Okay, Sir. I will be there sharp at 7 PM. Thank you”, he reconfirmed.
Kabir and I stay in Hermes Heritage Society, Pune. He is 32 years old. His marriage is scheduled in less than SIX months from now. He is staying with his parents. Kabir was working with a leading Infrastructure Development Company as a Project Manager. Few months ago, he had joined a mid-size Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) Organization as Vice-President Operations.
He reached my flat at 6:45 PM. As I got freshened up, Shraddha made coffee for three of us while Kabir waited in our drawing room. After exchanging greetings and daily pleasantries, I asked him to share his concern. “I need your help in finding me a new job. I am willing to compromise on my current compensation package”, he said.

“Why do you need a new Job? You joined you current organization around FIVE months ago. You seemed very excited about it. Your compensation package was also met, without any negotiation. You are a part of the leadership team. So, why do you want to change?” I asked curiously.
He took a deep breath and said, “Sir, you are right. They have given me good package and benefits. I am in the leadership team. I have great opportunities for growth. But the route to encash those opportunities are very weird. The organizational culture is not good. It is much more complicated and complex than the plot of any daily soap opera”.
“Hold on. Career Opportunities, Organizational Culture, and Daily Soap Opera, I don’t know what you are trying to say. Please elaborate?” I asked.
He explained, “Our organization is privately held. We are 200 employees. Last year, our total turnover was 50 million USD. I am heading the Operations Team of 37 employees. Anish Jain, 42, is Founder and CEO of our organization. His sister Anita, 37, is one of the FIVE Directors and look after legal compliances and approvals. Anish and Anita are well connected across political galleries. It is needless to say that no matter how educated and capable our employees are, these two take all strategic decisions. However, they don’t interfere in the personal life of one another. Our Leadership comprises of Anish, Anita, Yogesh (VP-HR), Rajeev (Creative Director), Sachin (Head – Digital Marketing), Sameer (Head – Information Technology), Sunil (Head – Customer Service) and me. Our Company allows family members to work together. Every week, CEO directs Department Heads to invite THREE employees from each team for an informal stress-buster meeting of leaders and team members on Friday nights at a pre-decided venue. Many HR decisions such as increments, incentives, promotions, employment terminations are taken in these meetings over drinks”.
“Priyanka, who was a girlfriend of Sunil, until last year, is now the wife of CEO Anish. Disappointed by this act, Sunil got involved with Anita, CEO’s sister and is also dating Rajeev’s wife Yasmin. As for Anita, she is also interested in VP-HR Yogesh but he never responded to her advances. Nikita, who is a girlfriend of Sameer, also has romantic relations with Sachin. Over last few months, CEO developed liking for Sachin’s girlfriend Madhuri as well but he doesn’t want them to break-up in order to remain clean in his wife’s eyes. Hence, Sachin is offered expensive perks, bonuses, and rewards for no reason related to his job and performance”.
“Each Department Head needs to invite THREE of his team-members to the Friday evening party. The hidden ugly motive of leaders behind such meetings is to find themselves a companion to spend a weekend with, unethically.
I asked, “What is the role of Yogesh, VP-HR? What does he do in the organization? If most of the decisions are taken my Anish and Anita, and the culture is so shoddy then why does your organization need HR?”
He continued, “Usually, after Friday parties, some of those chosen team members, either resign out of exasperation or they get terminated for refusal to leaders. As a result, some of them file a legal case against the organization. The role of Yogesh is to manage employee separations, hire new employees, and face litigations and execute instructions issued from leaders.
“Sanjeev Sir, I am not able to turn a blind eye to such to organizational culture. It’s beyond my understanding of human relations. These are not my learnings, values, and ethics. Out of 37 members in my team, 18 are females. I haven’t yet invited any of my female team members to these parties but I can’t avoid for long. I don’t want my team members, especially females, to encounter this filth.
Others have started taunting me, saying ‘I want to keep all girls to myself’ or that ‘I belong to old school’, etc. For last few weeks they have been insisting on inviting Anshita, my fiancée, to the party. I have been making one excuse or another. I don’t feel like going to this office anymore.”
I have no doubt that there are such organizations. These organizations do not have long-term vision or strategies. Finding a new job for Kabir at such short notice was a challenge. His marriage was scheduled in few months. He was getting depressed. I asked him to share with me his updated profile along with his expected CTC. I also asked him to explore with his last employer, where he had worked for SIX years.
Maybe because of his good deeds and clean heart, last week he got a new job offer. The compensation package is less than his current package by 20% but he is more than happy to get this offer and will be joining them next month. He will be getting married soon.
Organizational culture is an important aspect for the growth of any organization. When business experts say that over 89% of start-up companies fail within three years of the commencement and less than 0.01% become billion dollars organizations, probably they take into consideration the organizational culture. Successful organizations are focused and value-based organizations. For them, core values are much more important than few pointers documented and posted on organizational walls.
The organizations such as the one where Kabir was working and bosses like Anish and Anita are unlikely to fade away. A large chunk of people of both sexes, caught in wide mouthed unemployment, are willing to compromise to get jobs and growth.
How would you have responded to this situation? Please share your stories and experiences.

A lost Jewish artistic and architectural tradition, destroyed by the Nazis during the Holocaust, has been spectacularly recreated in Poland by an international team of engineers, carpenters and artists.
Before World War Two, north-east Europe was home to more than 200 often spectacular wooden synagogues, at least 50 of which had magnificently painted interiors. Hitler’s death squads burnt the majority to the ground – and today not a single painted or other major example survives.
But now researchers have used old photographs and architectural plans to partially reconstruct one of the finest of those vanished masterpieces.
More than 150 square metres of paintings have been recreated in Warsaw along with complex carpentry replicating the original synagogue’s roof. The paintings – which include literally dozens of animals and zodiac signs – adorn a replica ceiling and cupola.
It is one of the largest replications of historic art and architecture of any culture ever attempted anywhere in the world – and will go on permanent public display as part of Warsaw’s new Jewish museum which opens today, Tuesday.
Based faithfully on the art and architecture of a late 17th and early 18th century synagogue which once stood in the town of Gwozdziec (now in the Ukraine), the 85 per cent scale replica reveals the extraordinary beauty of a type of Jewish art and architecture which tragically no longer exists.
Although most of the great painted wooden synagogues of north-east Europe were burnt down in the Holocaust, Gwozdziec was destroyed a generation earlier – in World War One, during intense fighting between Russian and Austro-Hungarian forces.

Unlike most other synagogue art in other parts of the world, many of the paintings portray figurative images – symbolizing traditional Jewish ethical stories and signs of the zodiac.
The carpentry and paintings have been recreated by scores of Polish, American and other volunteers.
Using traditional 18th century-style raw materials and tools, the project has not only produced a unique recreation of a lost genre of art and architecture, but has also helped academics to more fully understand the practical pigment-mixing, engineering and other challenges faced by the original artists and builders some three centuries ago.
In total, the volunteer artists had to create some 37 different colours and shades from 16 different pigments. Only traditional pigments like woad, charcoal, copper carbonate and different iron oxide-rich earths, were used to produce all the different shades and colours.
The 30-tonne installation, consisting of the replica partial synagogue’s ceiling, cupola and roof (but no walls) is suspended from steel cables attached to the structure of the museum itself. The entire replica has been created by an American historical reconstruction organization, Handshouse Studio, with funding from a New York-based Jewish Cultural heritage charity, the Kronhill Pletka Foundation.
In the original synagogue, destroyed in 1915, the walls were also painted. However, it’s believed that museum planners felt that including them would have interfered with the overall open-plan nature of the museum. Their aim was to produce a spectacular and educational museum exhibit rather than a complete synagogue.

Jews first arrived in Gwozdziec by around 1650. The synagogue was erected by 1700 – and the interior was fully adorned with paintings by 1731.
Around a third of the town, a typical Jewish shtetl, was destroyed along with the synagogue. After World War One ended, a new synagogue was constructed but it was destroyed by the Nazis by 1943. Most of the town’s Jewish population of up to 1,600 were either murdered by Nazi death squads in Gwozdziec itself or deported to death camps.
POLIN Museum of the History of Polish Jews (Polish: Muzeum Historii Żydów Polskich) is a museum on the site of the former Warsaw Ghetto. The Hebrew word Polin in the museum's name means, in English, either "Poland" or "rest here" and is related to a legend on the arrival of the first Jews in Poland.[1] The cornerstone was laid in 2007, and the museum was first opened on April 19, 2013.[2][3] The museum's Core Exhibition opened in October 2014.[4] The museum features a multimedia narrative exhibition about the living Jewish community that flourished in Poland for a thousand years up to the Holocaust.[5] The building, a postmodern structure in glass, copper, and concrete, was designed by Finnish architects Rainer Mahlamäki and Ilmari Lahdelma.[6]
Warsaw (Polish: Warszawa [varˈʂava] ( listen); see also other names) is the capital and largest city of Poland. It stands on the Vistula River in east-central Poland, roughly 260 kilometres (160 mi) from the Baltic Sea and 300 kilometres (190 mi) from the Carpathian Mountains. Its population is estimated at 1.750 million residents within a greater metropolitan area of 3.105 million residents, which makes Warsaw the 9th most-populous capital city in the European Union.[2][3][4] The city limits cover 516.9 square kilometres (199.6 sq mi), while the metropolitan area covers 6,100.43 square kilometres (2,355.39 sq mi).[5]
In 2012 the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Warsaw as the 32nd most liveable city in the world.[6] It was also ranked as one of the most liveable cities in Central Europe. Today Warsaw is considered an "Alpha–" global city, a major international tourist destination and a significant cultural, political and economic hub.[7][8][9] Warsaw's economy, by a wide variety of industries, is characterised by FMCG manufacturing, metal processing, steel and electronic manufacturing and food processing. The city is a significant centre of research and development, BPO, ITO, as well as of the Polish media industry. The Warsaw Stock Exchange is one of the largest and most important in Central and Eastern Europe.[10] Frontex, the European Union agency for external border security, has its headquarters in Warsaw. It has been said that Warsaw, together with Frankfurt, London, Paris and Barcelona is one of the cities with the highest number of skyscrapers in the European Union.[11] Warsaw has also been called "Eastern Europe’s chic cultural capital with thriving art and club scenes and serious restaurants".[12]
The first historical reference to Warsaw dates back to the year 1313, at a time when Kraków served as the Polish capital city. Due to its central location between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth's capitals of Kraków and Vilnius, Warsaw became the capital of the Commonwealth and of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland when King Sigismund III Vasa moved his court from Kraków to Warsaw in 1596.[13] After the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Warsaw was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars, the city became the official capital of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, a puppet state of the First French Empire established by Napoleon Bonaparte. In accordance with the decisions of the Congress of Vienna, the Russian Empire annexed Warsaw in 1815 and it became part of the "Congress Kingdom". Only in 1918 did it regain independence from the foreign rule and emerge as a new capital of the independent Republic of Poland. The German invasion in 1939, the massacre of the Jewish population and deportations to concentration camps led to the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto in 1943 and to the major and devastating Warsaw Uprising between August and October 1944. Warsaw gained the title of the "Phoenix City" because it has survived many wars, conflicts and invasions throughout its long history.[14] Most notably, the city required painstaking rebuilding after the extensive damage it suffered in World War II, which destroyed 85% of its buildings.[15][16] On 9 November 1940, the city was awarded Poland's highest military decoration for heroism, the Virtuti Militari, during the Siege of Warsaw (1939).[17][18]
The city is the seat of a Roman Catholic archdiocese (left bank of the Vistula) and diocese (right bank), and possesses various universities, most notably the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University of Warsaw, two opera houses, theatres, museums, libraries and monuments. The historic city-centre of Warsaw with its picturesque Old Town in 1980 was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Other main architectural attractions include the Castle Square with the Royal Castle and the iconic King Sigismund's Column, St. John's Cathedral, Market Square, palaces, churches and mansions all displaying a richness of colour and architectural detail. Buildings represent examples of nearly every European architectural style and historical period. Warsaw provides many examples of architecture from the gothic, renaissance, baroque, neoclassical and modern periods, and around a quarter of the city is filled with luxurious parks and royal gardens.
Teeling whiskey was founded in the Liberties area of Dublin in 1782 by a bloke called Walter Teeling. This time was, apparently, the heyday for Irish whiskey - and this part of Dublin became known as the ‘golden triangle’ for the sheer number of distilleries to be found in a 1 mile radius. As we know, Irish whiskey fell out of favour and in 1976 the last distillery in Dublin closed. However, the Teeling family weren’t done, and brothers Jack and Stephen continue the family tradition, having recently reopened a distillery just a stone’s throw from the original site (I don’t know the exact date but I do know that they're open for tours in 2015 - woo!)
All the Teeling whiskeys are bottled at 46% with no chill filtration - each bottle carries has Jack Teeling’s signature (I assume he doesn’t stand on the assembly line signing every one to come off but you never know), plus details of the casks used and the date of bottling. The Irish have been distilling stuff for more than a thousand years - before whiskey there was Poteen / Poitín (and Teeling apparently make one of these as well). This can be a lot stronger and as far as I know, is usually not aged.
The Irish Whiskey is their flagship dram (do the Irish say ‘dram?' I dunno). As the name may suggest it’s a small batch bottling with a higher than average malt to grain ratio, aged in used American Oak and given plus some additional maturation in ex- Flor de Caña rum barrels to add some more character (and I’ve yet to find a rum finish that I don’t like!) It seems to go for about £35 a bottle. There’s no age statement but I hear the blend averages between 4 and 7 years (I may be wrong). Can’t wait to try it!
Bubble tea: because sometimes you just want to consume the majority of your daily calories from a combination of creamer and tapioca pearls. Chatime Shoreditch (who are the most recent of the many Chatimes to be found in the UK) invite me down to do so. Chatime are doing rather well at the moment. They have over a thousand (franchised) outlets all over the world, many in the UK, and quite a few in London. The chain is still growing and shows no signs of slowing down. âCha' is the Japanese word for tea, I think it also means the same in Mandarin but am not totally sure.
Anyway, one of Chatime's strengths seems to be the...extensive choice when it comes to toppings. Along with the 'standard' tapioca pearl offering, there's a bunch of different jellies, 'pudding ' (basically flan) and red bean. The jellies seem to be their thing - there's plenty of choice (*insert Destiny's Child reference here*). There's also a bigger selection of fresh teas than you might expect. Apparently their Chatime Milk Tea (which I have yet to try) is the most popular offering.
What's good then? Customising your drinks. In doing this it could be best to ask your friendly Cha-guy for recommendations around the best flavour combinations. Or give no fucks and try whatever you feel like - he won't mind. Most drinks are available iced (in either small or large size) or hot. You can also customise the level of sugar (where they have a percentage scale thing going - from 0% sugar to +20% - which is basically 120%...diabeetus). The two Asian guys you see in the picture are the owners of this Chatime franchise.
