A Thailand trip is incomplete without a visit to Bangkok. Hence, post our incredible time in Phuket and Krabi, our journey through Thailand led us to the bustling city of Bangkok. Our abode in the vibrant city had to be extra special and hence we chose Montien Surawong Hotel. Nestled in the heart of Silom, Bangkok’s most vibrant and exciting district, it is close to all the major tourist attractions, including the Grand Palace, Wat Pho, and the Jim Thompson House. After all, sightseeing and shopping in Bangkok has its own charm.
With the festive season approaching, there’s no better time than now to invest in celebration-appropriate menswear. When scouting for the perfect outfit, it is important to look for something that not only complements the occasion but also resonates with your personal style. Finding an ensemble that seamlessly harmonises the festive spirit with contemporary allure is key to making a lasting impression during this joyous season.
Krabi is no less than a wonderland and we wanted a suitable abode for us. Hence, me and my family chose Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa Krabi for our stay. The drive from Phuket to Krabi was smooth, all thanks to Lark Holidays from whom we booked our travel (Not only intercity but in city too). Lark Holidays is the most reliable travel operator at Thailand. The drivers arrive on time, cabs are clean and the drivers are well informed.
Our first International trip post Covid had to be special. Afterall we waited for 3 long years to go overseas. We chose to go to Thailand, a destination which I did explore a few years back and absolutely loved it. So why not relive the nostalgia!
Considering how special our trip was, our abode had to be even more special. That’s why we chose Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa, it’s not a hotel or a resort, it’s the quintessential idyllic island retreat. This 5-star Marriott Bonvoy beachfront lifestyle resort comes with unique design, inspired by nature which offer guests a chance to explore Phuket from a new perspective through spontaneous discovery.
It was hard to resist travelling over the last 8 months. Finally, we thought of taking the plunge, packed our bags, picked the car keys and headed to Agra for a royal stay at ITC Mughal.
This time our trip was extra special as it was our first trip post lockdown after a gap of 8-9 months. The old and heritage city Agra known as the ‘city of Love’ not only has the marvelous Taj Mahal but also has the splendid ITC Mughal. ITC’s luxury collection hotel is situated in close proximity to Taj Mahal and is a tribute to the Mughal builders of the past as this hotel is historic and is inspired by the heritage Mughal monuments like Fatehpur Sikri and Agra Fort.
I love the vivid culture India has where one gets to learn about different religions as well as their festivities. I have enjoyed the splendour of Christmas as much as I enjoy Diwali so when I got an invitation for a Ramadan Food Walk from Novotel Hyderabad Airport we could not say ‘NO’. After a 2 hour flight we landed in Hyderabad, the City of Nizams from where in a few minutes we entered the plush and beautiful hotel. A look around and I was captivated with the serene surroundings filled with greenery and nature.

Gauri & Nainika’s show at the Amazon India Fashion Week Spring Summer’17 was definitely one of my favourites!
The models walked & sashayed in frilly frocks in peaches, navy, black, white, red and brown. Black, white & navy dominated the collection with pops of fuschia and mustard. The collection was flowy, sexy, sultry and desirable containing the feminine frilly touches adding more drama with organza tulle, ruffles & weightless striped silks.

With demonetization, sending and receiving payment has become a little cumbersome. A lot of us don’t know what to do where to go and how to do these transactions. I do support our Prime Minister in this effort because I do believe it will bring a big change in the nation and help us in the long run but in the short run we are looking at alternate methods and I am sure standing in the queue of an ATM or a bank is the last thing that we want to do, Yes, e-wallets have helped us out but not all of us are too happy with it as that has a certain limit. What if I tell you that you could send and receive money starting at Re 1 to Rs. 100,000 that too instantly from and to your own bank account!

First drops of innocence, breeze of fresh air, the burst of the first glitter & candy-filled birthday balloon, rose picked from a nearby garden and pressed between the notebook pages, the very first music CD are saved on the ‘icloud’ of our memory. Amit Aggarwal’s Spring Summer’17 collection at the Amazon India Fashion Week was one such show drawing inspiration from his childhood memories. The line is a fusion of what India has to offer in the west- textiles and what industrialization has brought in- technology.
