Sakshi Hyanki is a media consultant by profession, and a freelance photographer by choice. She’s also an avid reader and a big fan of literary writer Haruki Murakami. She’s quite the traveller and has covered many places in India, although she feels the “need to travel more”!
In her own words,
As a photographer, I like to venture out a lot in & around Delhi and when I get time I travel out of town to get some different flavor. In Delhi, I head out to new places and joints to get some delicious food in my tummy. I do post about some of those in my facebook page, to incite people to go ahead & experiment :)

Here’s a selection of Sakshi’s top recommendations on Wooplr
Satchel Handbag from Accessorize, Ambiance Mall, Gurgaon
Satchel is quite in these day, been popular worldwide for long time. Have similar ones in other colors & size. A Blue Satchel will stand out among the common Brown ones :)
Off-white Ballerina from Zara, Vasanth Kunj, New Delhi
To tone down your bright clothes, these cute ballerina work great. And the Bow adds the cute girly charm to it
Statement Ring from a flea market at Arambol, Goa
Totally catches the eye, especially coz its big in size. Adds on more drama to your attire
Junk Jewelry thrifted from Paharganj, Central Delhi
D.I.Y Animal Print Nail Artfrom Cosmetics store, GK M Block, New Delhi
A twist to the normal French Manicure, jazz it up with animal print nail stickers. These stickers stayed up for 3 days, coz I applied a good base & top coat to it. These are easily available in any store and even online
Sunrise Skillet from The All American Diner, Lodhi road, Delhi
The All American Diner’ offers the Great American Meal Experience….the decor gives a feel of an authentic diner and food is equally good. A good place for a Brunch :D
Her Suggestions on:
Best Places to Experiment New Cuisines
One of the places to go for is Gung, The Palace. It’s a Korean restaurant with 2 outlets in Delhi & Gurgaon. Korean BBQ is way different from what anyone would have had and it’s quite popular globally. This place serves the Korean food as authentic as you would get in Korea.
Best Places for Junk Jewelry
You will find this a place a heaven for jewelry, Paharganj. This is the hub of wholesalers who keep a huge stock of beautiful & delicate jewelry. The range of variety they have, it will fulfill everyone’s taste-buds.
Bonus: Best Place to have Puchkas (Kolkata Style)
C.R. Park Market is my favorite place to head out for mouth-watering ‘Puchkas’ in the city. I have like 3-4 plates in one go. :)
Few more awesome places to try out pan-asian cuisine
I would say Mamagoto & Sidewok have a nicely designed menu with wide variety of pan-asian cuisines and is definitely a place to head out to. At-least once! I would recommend the laksa soup and pork ribs at Sidewok. And in Mamagoto, the grilled fish with sticky rice, thai green curry and had-thai noodles are great.
Her Shopping Tips
I think shopping in flea market is more fun than in showrooms or malls as flea market offers you the freedom and variety that you can add in to your personal style. What’s in the showroom is what everyone will be wearing… you cannot be different if you end up being/buying at the same place.
So heading out to Sarojini Nagar, Janpath, Paharganj, Chandni Chowk will surely give you the personal styling you were looking for. :)
