ccording to various Indianschools of philosophy, a
Tattv
is an element or aspectof reality conceived as anaspect of deity. Wikipedia agrees, butwhen a menu says that on the front-page, you wonder if the heavy, deityfood for thought will overshadow thereal reason for visiting the restaurant- the dietary aspect. Thankfully thatelementary part of a good diningexperience– great food, is completelytaken care of at this new restaurant onLavelle Road.

SIGNATURE DISH:
Kebab Antableh, Joojeh Mastee, Chocolate Gujiaamong others.
COST:
For Rs.1500, you could share anon veg-starter, a couple of non-vegmain course dishes accompanied by afew rotis, and a dessert. When youconsider the quality of food and theambiance, the cost does seem justified.
VENUE:
Tattv, 1st Floor, 25/4, LavelleRoad, Bangalore – 1. Tel: 41552225

cor elements:A stylised, yet under-stated ambience, using red, gold andblack to good effect. The stone jaalis, the jharokhas and the menu with thegolden tinge, all lend a touch of class to the place and ensure a setting thatmatches the richness of the food.Mool Tatt
 
v:The menu consists principal-ly of five culinary elements – Tandoor,Sigri, Tawa, Kadhai and Curries. Though there are enough choices that tempt you to consider a kebab-only meal, there are many main course dishes thatwill vie for your attention too. And if  that’s not enough, some uniquedesserts compound your worries onwhat to focus on.Drool Tat

v: The Bhutte ke kebab withits tender corn is a great start for thevegetarians. For the non vegetarians, the mutton seekh kebab, with pome-granate as the surprise element, isquite a good choice, as is the Murgh kiChaanpan, with its dash of paprika.Among the main course dishes, the DalMakhni, was a favourite. The MachliDum Pukht, seer fish stuffed withsalmon, and the Laal Maas with an obvi-ous red chilli base, are must-have items.The light-as-a-cloud Gilafi Kulcha, and the ghee laden heavy Warqi Paratha areboth good, but the Ulta Tawa Parathasteals the show. And there’s no pardonif you haven’t left space for the sinfulChocolate Gujia, and if you’re not reallya chocoholic, you could try the Gulab Ja-mun stuffed with Gulkand.Bhool Tatt
 
v:The Tandoori Tamatar Shor-ba was particularly bland and conspicu-ously absent was the tomato flavour.The Dum Olav, though promised as aspicy curry, turned out sweetish. TheMurgh Dhaniwal paled in comparison to the non veg titans!S

e:Most would agree that valetparking on Lavelle Road is a boon in it-self. Vegetarians would specially appre-ciate the different colored drinking glasses. Add to that, extremely courte-ous staff who ensure that customerschoose the right combinations, and youhave a winning mix.V
 
erdict:Tattv gets a high five and is defi-nitely worth a visit on all counts. Greatfood, classy ambience, courteous staff and some splendid music together en-sure that all the elements are in placefor a great experience.

WANT TO STAY AWAY FROMTHE AILMENTS OF OLD AGE?
Then try thinking young. According to aresearch, those who think and dress in a youthful way are healthier than thosewho act their age. It seems mind overmatter can improve everything fromblood pressure to arthritis and eyesight.Even the development of heart diseaseand cancer may, at least to a degree, bestaved off by refusing to grow old grace-fully. The intriguing claims come from re-searchers at Harvard University, who re-viewed a series of studies into how themind influences the body. In one experiment, elderly men were‘transported’ back to 1959 for a week.They lived in accommodation fitted out in the decor of the Fifties, were played TVshows and music of the time and told to talk and act as if they were living then. By the end of the week, the men wereperceived to look around three years younger. Their hearing and eyesight im-proved, arthritic joints were more flexi-ble, muscles were stronger and mindssharper. Researcher Ellen Langer suggests thatmuch of the decline of old age may bedriven by negative perceptions about ourlater years - and breaking these downcan improve health. A second study re-vealed that cutting and colouring women’s hair not only made them feel younger, but reduced their blood pres-sure. And when strangers were shownpictures of the woman with their hair hid-den, they were rated as looking youngerafter their trip to the salon - despite theirnew styles not being visible. Agencies

COUPLES who keep off sex before mar-riage have happier, more stable relation-ships and a more rewarding sex life, founda study. More than 2,000 married coupleswere questioned by the Brigham Young University’s School of Family Life in Utah in the US.Psychologists found that couples whowaited until after their wedding night rat-ed the stability of their relationships 22per cent higher than those whose physicalrelationships developed earlier.Those who practised abstinence were alsofound to have 20 per cent increased levelsof relationship satisfaction, 12 per centbetter communication and 15 per cent im-proved “sexual quality”.Experts said that this may be due to im-proved communication between individu-als who were chaste before marriage, ac-cording to a Brigham Young statement.Professor Dean Busby from Brigham, whocarried out the study, said: “There’s more to a relationship than sex, but we did find that those who waited longer were happierwith the sexual aspect of their relation-ship. I think it’s because they’ve learned to talk and have the skills to work with issues that come up.”For couples that became sexually involvedlater in a relationship but prior to mar-riage, the benefits were about half asstrong, according to findings published in the Journal of Family Psychology.Although vows of chastity often accompa-ny religious involvement, researchersclaimed that faith was not a factor in thestudy.
