A wine romance at district150 by Quorum
Armed with 'wine passports' and 'boarding passes', the group took a sensory flight across vineyards in Italy and France. The first pour: Pasqua's Audrey Hepburn Frizzante, a semi-sparkling Prosecco in a striking blue bottle and a nod to Breakfast at Tiffany's. Light and bubbly, it paired beautifully with soft cheeses, kicking off the evening on a charming note. Next up was Pasqua Pinot Grigio from Veneto, Italy, a crisp, light, and conversation-sparking. With each sip, Ruchika guided the group through concepts like terroir and microclimates, helping them understand how elements like wind direction or river proximity can transform a grape. To mark the final leg, guests moved to a different room and to France. There, they sipped Domaine Jacky Marteau, a light-bodied red from Touraine, Loire, made from Gamay grapes grown on organic old vines. 'This wine opened up with earthy minerality and soft red fruit notes,' Ruchika notes, adding, 'Its gentle tannins impressed slowly but surely.' The session concluded with a fun 'Facts vs Myths' quiz, where most guests nailed their answers, evidence of their newly awakened wine knowledge. When asked to name a favourite wine, Ruchika laughs. 'That's always a tough one, how do you pick just one? It really depends on the mood and the weather. I usually gravitate toward reds, but on a hot summer day, nothing beats a zesty New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc. And on a rainy day? I love a quiet corner with a glass of The Source Grenache Rosé from Nashik. It is vibrant and full of tropical notes,' she shares. 'Come to wine with curious senses,' she advises, adding, 'Taste slightly hungry, not full, so your palate is sharp and your senses are alive. Skip the caffeine and heavy meals to catch the aromas and subtle notes better.'

Lajpat Nagar double murder: No police verification done when accused was hired, say cops
Two days after a garment shop staffer allegedly killed his employer and her 14-year-old son at their Lajpat Nagar residence, enraged over being reprimanded on Tuesday morning for skipping work, police on Friday said the accused, Mukesh Paswan, did not go through the police verification process when he started his job. 'None of the four employees working at the victim's shop had undergone police verification when they were hired,' DCP (Southeast) Hemant Tiwari said. Mukesh worked as a driver and a helper at the shop in Lajpat Nagar market. The police had found Ruchika Sewani (42) and her son Krish (14), a Class X student, dead when they broke open the main door of the house Wednesday night. Police had found Ruchika's body in the bedroom. As officers followed a trail of bloodstains, they found the boy's body inside the bathroom. There were injuries on their neck, which prima facie appeared to have been inflicted by a sharp-edged weapon. An officer said that during questioning, Mukesh claimed that Krish was alive when he left the scene of the crime and that he left him on the floor of his room. 'It is possible that the 14-year-old crawled to the bathroom of his room in a desperate attempt to save his life and tried to get water… but eventually succumbed to his injuries,' the officer added. The officer further said that Mukesh brought the murder weapon, a kitchen knife, from his own home. 'After killing Ruchika, he slit the throat of the boy in his own room to eliminate witnesses.' According to the police, Mukesh had taken an advance of Rs 45,000 from Ruchika and two mobile phones while going on leave. He, however, did not return to work on time. 'Ruchika had asked Mukesh to return the advance payment of Rs 45,000 and the two phones she gave him and leave the job if he couldn't get his act together,' said the officer. Mukesh, who lived at Amar Colony with his two brothers and father, had attempted to flee to his village in Bihar by boarding the Magadh Express from New Delhi railway station early Thursday. He was traced by the Uttar Pradesh Police, which boarded the train at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya junction and arrested him.

Delhi Lajpat Nagar double murder: Police reveal spine-chilling details, says 'the house was covered in...'
Delhi Lajpat Nagar double murder: Police reveal spine-chilling details, says 'the house was covered in...' A horrific crime took place on Wednesday evening in Delhi's Lajpat Nagar. Mukesh Paswan, a 24‑year‑old who worked in a local garment shop, went to his employer's flat and killed the employer's wife, Ruchika Sewani (42), and their teenage son, Krish (14), by sliting their throats. After searching the house for valuables, he ran away. According to the police, Mukesh entered the Sewani residence at around 7.30 PM on Wednesday. At that time, Ruchika's husband, Kuldeep Sewani wasn't at home while Ruchika was present with the couple's son Krish. A nearby CCTV camera captured Paswan's entry. How the murders were discovered Kuldeep Sewani (44), kept calling home but got no answer. Worried, he sent another worker to check on his family. The worker found blood in the house and called Kuldeep, who phoned the police at 9:43 p.m. When officers arrived, they found Ruchika on the bedroom floor and Krish in the bathroom, both dead. A neighbor, Arnav Chopra, said nothing like this had ever happened in their quiet block, and everyone was stunned. An officer at the scene of the crime, requesting anonymity, told HT, 'There was blood all over the house. The woman was lying dead, with her throat slit, in a room on the floor next to the bed. When we opened the washroom, the son was lying dead inside, with his throat slit as well.' What happened to the suspect Mukesh fled Delhi but was caught later that night on a train in Uttar Pradesh. According to the police, Mukesh Paswan said he had taken Rs.45,000 in advance from Ruchika because he was struggling with money. She gave him the money, but after that, he began missing work and stopped taking her calls. Later, Ruchika contacted him through another worker. Mukesh agreed to return the money and also give back a phone. But when they spoke again, he got angry — apparently upset that a woman had scolded him. On Wednesday evening, Mukesh went to Ruchika's house, which was on the ground floor. He rang the doorbell, and she opened the door, thinking he had come to talk about work. But instead of talking, Mukesh suddenly pulled out a sharp object and started attacking her without giving her any chance to react, a police source said.
