The Manu Maharani, Nainital is a refreshing getaway
I’ve often heard people complain about Nainital and how it has become a beaten up old destination where people end up on long weekends. The same old wooden artifacts and clock work on the mall road, the same boating routine… it’s all a big bunch of been there done that, right? But here’s the bigger picture or rather the bigger question: have we totally given up on seeing the up-side of things? Is the glass always half-empty? Have we totally given up on the natural wonders the world has to offer? When was the last time you tried singling out the chirping sound of one bird among five? My guess…

Beat the Heat: Citrus Drench Spa at The Imperial
If hedonism was my way of life, I would have spent most of my time at a spa. I think it’s one of the quickest (expensive, of course) ways to cut off from the monotony and cool off your senses especially during such merciless summer days. How wonderful it would be to be able to hibernate in cool corners of a spa! I would definitely pick The Imperial Spa, one of the best spas in Delhi, for a summer hideout. Now, let me admit that anything I say about The Imperial Spa is bound to be biased since it is my favourite spa in Delhi. It never fails to impress me a…

A Soulful Weekend at Te Aroha, Dhanachuli
Tell your problems to mountains. They are good listeners. Do that during sunrise as nature paints the best at dawn. I, therefore, never miss it when on a holiday. I feel sunrise builds a soulful connect with the place. And this one, here at Te Aroha, is special. I sit and admire it from the balcony of my room (coincidentally called Morning Sun) with my list of problems and a cup of coffee in hand. [I was later shifted to Master’s Bedroom suite — a spacious room with a lovely balcony, where I spent better part of the day.] Silence speaks loud at Te Aroha, a beautiful weekend getaway from Delhi.…
