As walked through the beautiful lobby of The Imperial, so many thoughts were jostling inside my head. To reach the hotel I took a Metro, first in more than two years. I was visiting the hotel to join in the Easter workshop for kids. I am glad I went, we had so much fun. The…

It has been after a very long time that I went out during Dusshera! I took my daughter and her friend out to two celebrations which were close to each-other. This was the first pandal we visited and both the girls after saying a brief prayer took a ride in a small ‘giant wheel’ which…
