Travel January 16, 2019

I was planning to travel to Mumbai and while deciding where to stay Holiday Inn came up in the options. I had already stayed at Holiday Inn at Phuket and had loved my experience so without a doubt I finalized it. Stepping in at Holiday Inn Mumbai International Airport brought back the lovely memories of my time at Holiday Inn Phuket!

Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards: A power packed night with kids, fun, dance, music and awards

Lifestyle January 4, 2019

~ Kids dictate our choices but when it comes to Kids choices you know how particular they are. Such were Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards! ~

I have re-lived my childhood days courtesy my kid brother (as I like to call him with an age gap of almost a decade plus though he is an adult now). There used be certain times of the morning as well as evening when we would not let anyone touch the TV remote because screen time during those was reserved for us. That was the era when TV was one of the only sources of entertainment as Internet was still a luxury which not many could afford. Our favourite cartoons and TV shows were not to be missed by us at any cost and we would gang up being the youngest in the three siblings and dictate our terms! Love the nostalgia of the golden era gone by! 😉

My favourite look from the looks I sported at #LMIFW: ADI by ADITYA KHANDELWL

Fashion December 26, 2018

“Think about the style of the occasion before you plan your outfit” – Jenny Packham

This Fashion Week, I wore an outfit which was elegant, unique, experimental and just perfect- not only in style but comfort as well! Fashion week is the time to experiment and the recently concluded Lotus Make Up India Fashion Week Spring Summer’19 {#LMIFW SS19} spread across four days witnessed glitz and glamour not only on the ramp but also off the ramp.

My glamorous moment this LMIFW was with an outfit by Adi by Aditya Khandelwl. The two-piece outfit consisted of a jacket with chain stitch work and multicoloured threads with flare on sleeves. Comfort and style goes hand in hand with this mouse grey outfit which possessed the right aura. The cold shoulder sleeve with net at the back is alluringly designed for more sultriness defining my body and personality. The floral colourful pattern in the front made the dress a masterpiece and with Aditya’s craftsmanship I could not have asked for a better outfit with the various cuts in the silhouette and the frilly layers of the skirt.

Chennai: A visual retreat across beaches, temples, animals and churches

Travel November 5, 2018

The end of the calendar year is usually busy considering the festivities, weddings and holidays. It’s time to travel whether it’s a destination wedding or a holiday which makes it imperative that we book flight tickets well in advance. We all know the more we delay our bookings, it gets more and more expensive. It’s always good to be relaxing at a beach or enjoying your time at a visually appealing place rather than fretting and regretting about a higher fare price.

KALKI Fashion’s vibrant Greek-Moroccan Wedding Collection- ‘Athena’ Fashion Show

Fashion October 31, 2018

The recently concluded Bombay Times Fashion Week witnessed leading designers showcasing their creations on the coveted ramp but one show which I absolutely loved was of KALKI Fashion. The master of fashion fantasies, KALKI always ensures a captivating show and this time it was a preview of the much awaited couture collection, ‘Athena Collection by Kalki Fashion’. Athena, the Greek Goddess represented wisdom, and feminism, she was the patron goddess of heroic endeavour. Keeping in mind, the collection exuberates the spirit of youth and aspires a woman to wear the grace of wisdom with class.

After Bangkok and Pattaya, our next destination was Phuket, a rainforested, mountainous island in the Andaman Sea which is known for popular beaches, old shophouses and busy markets. We chose Patong, the main resort town to host us which is an area full of life, thanks to the great hotels, nightclubs, bars and discos!

Open View Estate: Our perfect abode where we could all stay under one roof!

Travel August 13, 2018

When you are a family or a big group, you need a cozy space where you can all chill together, plan together and stay together! I have personally been on multiple trips in a group with friends or family but what I have always hated is being confined to different rooms in hotels (and sometimes on different floors) which at times bound us to even basic communication. We do keep a track of each other on Whatsapp or phone extensions but it’s not too convenient most of the times. It looses the whole purpose of travelling in a group.

Do you relate to this? Then read on to know how we enjoyed staying under one roof that too enjoying our own secluded space

Our rendezvous with peace, nature and calmness: Innisfree at Hawalbagh

Travel August 1, 2018

Don’t we all have that feeling that we should just run away from the daily chaos of life to a calm and serene place! Little things affect us as well as our mental health on a day-to-day basis. I did find my perfect escape to a peaceful, calm and serene land. A 10-hour beautiful drive led me to a captivating location in Uttarakhand. No, it wasn’t to the usual hill stations that most of us would have visited all life long!

Lifestyle July 2, 2018

All of us love to ‘Shop till you drop’ but who doesn’t love to shop while earning simultaneously. No, I am not talking about your monthly salary or the profit you earn from your business but the reward that your shopping gives you. While the country goes smarter with the latest gadgets and technology, our payment also becomes smarter with digital payments coming in action. Gone are the days when you carried those bundles of notes while you hopped into a mall or made your travel booking. Now all you need are credit cards and everything is sorted whether there is money in your bank account or not. However, you need to make sure you pick the right card according to the requirements so that you can gain while you spend.
