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!

Earn while you spend by picking a Credit Card based on your spending pattern

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.

Fashion June 13, 2018

~As the day changes, the trend changes – four different trends for 4 different days of #AIFWAW18~

Four different days, 4 different outfits, 4 different styles and 4 different looks is how I would like to encapsulate my Fashion Week days. Fashion Week is not only what we see on the ramp but I love the fashion which we also see off the ramp. It was Amazon India Fashion Week Autumn Winter’18 {#AIFWAW18} on the ramp but off the ramp we were all celebrating the arrival of summers experimenting with our clothes as well as accessories. I love to experiment during fashion week because that’s where trends are made. If you follow me on my Instagram, you would have got a glimpse of what I wore during the 4 days but it’s this article where you would catch more pictures to see my look and get the deets!

I had to be in Lucknow known as the city of Nawabs and while I was choosing where to stay I decided Novotel Lucknow. Located at Gomti Nagar, which is a 30 minute drive from the Airport as well as the Railway station, it boasts of being one of the best 5-star hotels in Lucknow that too when the hotel has just turned one.

The Hillcart Tales for the Tea aficionados

Food April 30, 2018

In India, we love our tea. Infact, a few days back while browsing one of the social media sites, I saw a creative which said “Tea is the energy drink of India”. This got me thinking and I had no reason to disagree with the statement.

Everyone loves drinking their favourite cup of tea be it green or black. However, tea is not just restricted to these. Now, there are also exotic blends that leave you happy with every sip you drink and refresh you with their taste & aromas. The Hillcart Tales is one such brand founded by Ashutosh Ghosh who has an eye for the finest blends and deep love for tea leaves.
