Let’s be honest, if it wasn’t for the Photo Marathon then I would have just spent away another Sunday sleeping, eating and reading.

Although we skipped the drinks, there seemed to be some nice mocktails/slush we hope to try the next time. The steward ensured a very [...]

This post is probably late in the day, but if you haven’t already seen it. Pick up today’s (06th Oct) Mumbai edition of The Economic Times. The front page has been given a complete make-over by well-known fashion designer Raghavendra Rathore. The design is very bold and loud, very unlike the regular pink paper layouts [...]
