On April 2025, at CHRIST (Deemed to be University) NCR Campus NRITTA: Aazadi ki Kahani was presented by ‘Natyarpana’, the university dance team, as it hosted its annual dance production with a theme centered around the Indian freedom struggle - "Azaadi ki kahani."

Known for its juicy and delicate kebabs the site is a mecca-like space for all the non-vegetarian foodies who flock to the area with the famous Masjid-i-Jehan-Numa.

Long story short, those dishes are now my absol...
