Montien Surawong Hotel Bangkok – a fusion of Artistic Heritage and Modern Luxury

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. After all, sightseeing and shopping in Bangkok has its own charm.

Travel March 11, 2023

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.

Not just relaxing, a rejuvenating retreat: Renaissance Phuket Resort & Spa

Travel November 27, 2022

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.

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.

A surprise Birthday Bash at the hottest destination in town: Unplugged Courtyard Gurgaon!

Lifestyle February 4, 2019

Birthdays are always special for everyone! After all, it is the day you came in the beautiful world and were held in the arms of your loved ones. The excitement of a birthday starts from the birthday month itself. I was born 2 days before the New Year and often used to joke that if I was born 2 days later it would have been a Grand celebration as it’s the New Year time.

The style of celebrating birthdays has differed as we grew up. Early school days used to be chilling at the school canteen with friends over Chowmein, Chole Kulcha, Burgers and Cold Drink. High school used to be about chilling at the latest QSR’s be it McDonald’s, Pizza Hut or Domino’s. As we entered college it used to be party time at our favourite café or longe and the same trend continued in my early professional stints too!

However, our preferences change as we grow older and now I prefer to be in the company of loved ones who would wish the best for me. As the time passes you make friends from school, college and earlier organizations with whom you have spent a beautiful time. You want to meet up with them and bond over the nostalgic years where you have had the most fun time with you but the busy lifestyle which we all lead these days makes it almost impossible.

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.

Baby, you are in safe hands with Apollo Cradle eNICU care

Lifestyle October 3, 2018

Being a mom is a divine experience. Even more than, I ever imagined. Carrying a life in your womb for 40 weeks is a joyful journey, for both mother and father. Right from starting of the pregnancy, parents ensure not to leave a stone unturned by taking measures and giving utmost care to the baby so that the world could see a healthy and happy child joining the family.

Not even in thoughts one would ever want to have a pre-term baby. A preterm or premature baby is the baby that is delivered between before 37th weeks of the pregnancy. Premature babies, especially those born very early (Even before 30th week), often have complicated medical issues. The earlier your baby is born, the higher the risk of complications.

If the baby is premature, she would likely need a longer hospital stay in a special nursery unit at the hospital under the complete supervision of specialized doctors and experienced team. Depending on how much care the little star requires, he or she may be admitted to an intermediate care nursery or the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) of the hospital.

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
