Photo Story: The Things We Loved and Hated About Agra
I must confess: I was never in awe of Taj Mahal. I have visited it at least three times before, but never was I so smitten by it. I appreciated the mausoleum but not to the extent of it ruling my mind for days later. But this visit was different though I don’t know why. May be it was the company (my husband and 8-month-old daughter). I can’t stop thinking about its perfection, grandeur, and the vision with which it was created. I am reading a study about its architecture by a research scholar now. Incidentally, he too wasn’t fascinated by Taj as much as he was with other Mughal…

Falling in Love with Simplicity at Nature Care Village, Rishikesh
Some trips are about epic experiences involving breathtaking landscapes and sights. Then there are some filled with small moments that leave a big impact in your heart. Lakshna Gulati tells about one such trip to Nature Care Village in Rishikesh “Travel. Humbug. Why do people make such a big deal about it?” That was me a couple of years ago, when I was younger and a little foolish. It wasn’t that I was a home-body or I didn’t travel. Travel I did!

It will depend on your flavour palate, your taste preferences and also the kind of food you are used to consuming growing up, to name a few. So does it mean that food prepared by a Michelin Star chef would be loved and respected by all? Well, let’s find out. Now if…

Try This Therapy for Complete Relaxation at Jiva Spa, Vivanta by Taj Dwarka
Jiva Spa in Dwarka (at Vivanta by Taj) hosted us for a relaxing spa therapy. Here’s why we loved it. Vishram is a Hindi word which means relaxation or rest.
