Travelogue to Jim Corbett (Day 2)

Food, Travel December 21, 2015

So, here we are on our fun filled travelogue with updates of our adventures at Corbett Blue Sky Resort in Jim Corbett. If you missed out on Day 1, you can read it here. Day 2 started with a stroll in the green lawns and our morning cup of tea. The pleasant weather and fresh air made our morning great. It felt heavenly walking on the slightly wet grass. What a wonderful start of the day!! We also had our morning tea and sandwiches in the lawn. Having our morning tea in greenery was a different and nice experience. Afterall we Delhi wallas rarely ever see such greenery. The veg sandwiches served with the tea were nice and soft with a filling of cucumber and tomato along with butter. The chai had elaichi in it and smelled wonderful.

Corbett Blue Sky Resort: A perfect getaway

Travel December 17, 2015

This autumn, rather than doing the usual which is eating, shopping and sleeping , I decided to do something different. Though, I would still be doing the above mentioned things but at a different location. I decided to visit Jim Corbett to see some wildlife and meet our friends – Deers, Tigers, Elephants, Leopards etc.

I took help from our friendly search engine Google and decided on Corbett Blue Sky Resort by Orawar Hotels for my lodging requirements. There were so many interesting things that I wanted to share with you so I have divided this post in 2 Parts. So here goes my travelogue for Day 1.

Choco land at Choko la

Food December 16, 2015

You enter a place and all you see is chocolates all over!! Isn’t something like this a dream?? No, we are not living in the Hansel & Gretel’s fairytale but that is what Team ChicLifeByte recently experienced when we entered Choko la’s renewed store at Khan Market. We were invited to the store for a chocolate tasting session. As we made our way to the store, we saw divine chocolates in various shapes and forms in the most exotic packaging ever. From Classic Dark, Milk Bar to powders, they had it all.

Mystery in Mystery Rooms

Lifestyle December 15, 2015

All those hooked on to ’Escape the room’ online games should leave their laptops and mobile phones right now. No No Fret not! There is no virus in that game but what if we tell you, you can experience this game LIVE!! Surprised? Yes, that’s what Team ChicLifeByte recently experienced. Mystery Rooms located at Rajouri Garden and Gurgaon is the live version of Escape the Room game. Still don’t believe us? So head to this wonderful place where you can play 4 interesting games live – Hurt Locker, Lock Out, Cabin in the Woods and Abduction. The games have been written in the order of difficulty and with each game the level of difficulty increases. We started with Level 2 which was Lock Out. The 4 of us were locked in a prison for an hour and we had to free ourselves with the help of interesting clues which we had to solve. The biggest clue being “Look everywhere, even the smallest of thing could help you free yourself”. But one really needs to be attentive and think Out of the Box. Tough, a taskmaster will give you hints but it is you and your team who need to solve the clues or riddles. The team could be between 2 to 8 people in the age group of 10 to 77 and does not require any physical force.

Maria Goretti adds a personal touch to your kitchen with her new book

Lifestyle December 5, 2015

Maria O Maria, No…we are not starting a karaoke but are praising the multi-talented Maria Goretti. You wanna know why? Hold your breath! We would love to reveal the reason. We recently got an invitation for a book launch. Any guesses on who wrote the book? Yes, you guessed it right, our very own bubbly VJ (that’s the first thing that comes to my mind about her). An Economics graduate who studied fashion design, a dancer, model, VJ, she has done it all and now adorns another feather in her cap as she turns author with her debut book ‘From My Kitchen To Yours’. You know what, she claims to have started cooking out of desperation as she didn’t want her cute kids to say “mujhe mere baap ke khane se pyaar hain” (Honestly, that’s something that even I dread – my husband is a great cook and I don’t even know the a, b, c of cooking).

Honeywell Air Touch helped me breathe this Diwali

Lifestyle December 3, 2015

There is a little secret that I would like to tell you. Every year when millions of Indians are happy about the Festival of Lights it’s one of the most dreadful time for me. Though I love the festivities, the lights, sweets etc. but there is one thing which worries me- pollution. While most of us burst crackers, and the light instantly brightens up our faces but at the same time also leaves our lungs in a bad shape.

Zai, a form of seventh heaven on Earth

Food December 2, 2015

Zai, a name which I read while coming back from GK-2 has been on my mind since then. My research said it meant ‘seventh heaven’ in Roman and ‘form of perfection’ in Persian. When I recently got a chance to review this place, I thought why not try out the seventh heaven on Earth.

I am sure all of you must be eager to know the name of the brand and its whereabouts, so without troubling you too much I would like to reveal the details. It’s none other than our all-time favourite Aeropostale. The American iconic brand opened its first India outlet in India at Select City Walk, Saket. Any guesses who came for the launch? Full marks to those who said Sonam Kapoor. Yes, the fashion icon Sonam Kapoor was in our city Delhi on November 7, 2015 and also got her young fans jigging at the launch. Dressed in stretchy denims, one of their signature product, an Aeropostale logo tee and checkered shirt, she also did a gig with the popular, dynamic and energetic Aero crew. Quite a huge no. of customers and onlookers queued up outside the Aeropostale store to get a glimpse of the Bollywood actress.

‘Feather Touch Denims’ by Numero Uno

Fashion November 22, 2015

Jeans, as soft as a feather! Unbelievable? We reacted that way only when we got an invitation from Numero Uno for the unveiling of their Feather Touch denims. Jeans are the most worn item for most of us. This is atleast true for me and most of friends and siblings. We must admit that beyond a time they do get irritating so we thought lets check out this new invention.
