Travel September 8, 2023

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.

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!

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.

Our Mogul-full stay at ITC Mughal in the City of Love- Agra!

Travel January 31, 2021

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.

Celebrating Ramadan at the city of Nizams with Novotel Hyderabad Airport!

Travel May 23, 2019

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.

Crudo Juicery: This is where I found my perfect thirst quencher!

Food July 11, 2016

It’s the era of health and fitness, and we don’t really want to have aerated drinks, but even if we say goodbye to them, do we really have options? Yes, we do have various drinks available in tetra packs and bottles but most of them are loaded with extra sugar and preservatives, Do we really want to consume them? Then the best option is fruit juices available at various stalls but the big question us how hygienic are those?

I recently found my alternative at Crudo Juicery in Galleria Market, Gurgaon which opened just 4 weeks back by Amit Sahni, a health & fitness enthusiast in his mid 30’s who is back after 18 years from Australia. He comes from the hospitality industry and has always been a foodie. To find the right alternative in India, he took countless trips to numerous big and small food joint in and around Gurgaon, all in vain. He finally decided to nurture his dream- a quest to find “healthy” delicious & mouth-wateringly scrumptious food. And hence was born Crudo Juicery.

I felt that reminiscence when I entered Bunta Bar, located at downtown Dilli, Janpath, Bunta Bar effortlessly transforms itself from day to night. As I entered I saw Bunta bottles all over the place from the entry to the celing…yes everywhere! In total, there were 4500 bunta bottles which were made-to-order for this place! A big branding of Bunta Bar with a painted peacock around it caught our attention as we made our way! Differential seating, colourful couches, backrest and high seating chairs! A DJ console out a truck…wow…that was ultimate!

Restaurant Review: Junkyard Cafe, Rajouri Garden

Food July 5, 2016

This time we went out to the newest outlet of Junkyard Cafe, located in the popular Rajouri Garden market. In line with their theme of using junk items stylistically, Umang Tewari and team have used unconventional items to set up the decor. Some of the items that we saw were: drums being used for the bar counter and as pillars, old wines bottles being used as lighting, and old milk containers, shock absorbers, and other spare parts being used as decorating items. Other interesting items we noticed were: part of an old ambassadors’ body hung up next to the bar counter; and a Mona Lisa portrait made entirely out of junk.

Restaurant Review: SodaBottleOpenerWala, Noida

Food July 4, 2016

A café based on Bombay Irani theme where you can taste the Irani & Parsi delicacies along with Bombay Street Food, SodaBottleOpenerWala finally makes it way to DLF Mall Of India in Noida.

This was my first rendezvous with SodaBottleOpenerWala (SBOW) and I was impressed. It is a unique concept by AD Singh and the Olive group under the able guidance of Mohit Balanchandran (Brand head & cuisine director of SBOW) and is a tribute to the dying legacy of a Bombay Irani café brought alive in fun, quirky and contemporary avatar. The head chef is Chef Kulbeer from Mumbai aided by Chef Manager Anahita Dhondy who has a passion for bakery and confectionary.

Toyexpress.in

Lifestyle July 3, 2016

Toyexpress.in‘, the brainchild of Mrs. Urvashi Sarda and Mr. Madhusudan Sarda, is a blessing in disguise for every kid. Mrs Urvashi Sarda, being a mother of a daughter and a son, could understand the need of a concept of Toy Library. She believes that ‘Books and Toys’ be child’s best friends, unfortunately which in present scenario is taken over by mobile phones and televisions. Toyexpress.in is actually a well fabricated thought to gift every child the moments where they discover, explore, smile, play and learn.
