Bombay Diaries: Lunch at Hemant Oberoi BKC

May 8, 2017

Finesse. Flair. The highest degree of reputability… And *that* cheese soufflé from Zodiac Grill.

Travel Diaries: 48 Hours in Amritsar

April 9, 2017

Some time last year, I made a resolution to explore more of #IncredibleIndia. From immersing myself in the Kochi Biennale to an escape to the foothills of the Himalayas, it’s a promise I’ve since been faithful to. My most recent sojourn was to Amritsar, a city steeped in spirituality… not to mention the sensational street-food scene here, famous world-over for … More Travel Diaries: 48 Hours in Amritsar
