About Me

Mumbai monsoon is the perfect time to stay indoors Mumbai monsoon is the perfect time to stay indoors and catch as many art exhibitions as you can!  Here are four ongoing ones that you can't miss.

(best art galleries in Mumbai, museums in Mumbai, art in Mumbai, contemporary art in Mumbai, art exhibitions in Mumbai)

How to escape the fast lane on Italy's glamorous A How to escape the fast lane on Italy's glamorous Amalfi Coast - stay at the @anantaraconventodiamalfi 🍋🍋

The hotel is built around a monastery dating to 1212, which later became a Capuchin convent in 1583 and was converted into the Cappuccini Hotel in 1882. @anantara_hotels took over the property in 2023, undertaking a sensitive restoration that preserved the ruins of the historic cloister and chapel. The monastery's original structure, complete with vaulted ceilings, remains intact, while the former monks' quarters have been transformed into 52 elegant rooms and suites. What I loved most about my suite is the view. Every window frames a stunning panorama of Amalfi's pastel-hued houses tumbling towards the azure Mediterranean, where fishing boats and gleaming yachts drift lazily across the bay.

Read my complete review of this gorgeous hotel on @thestylelist.in (link in bio), thanks @arushisakhuja_ for the opportunity 🌸

A wholesome weekend in Chandigarh.  Beginning wi A wholesome weekend in Chandigarh. 

Beginning with @theheritagegathering at @ikkpanjab, which was full of music, poetry, and a lot of soulful food, beautifully hosted by @rajan_sethi, @deepikasethii and curated by @delectable_reveries.

The next day, we hopped on the brunch party bus and headed to the newly opened @anyday.chd in Mohali where @tarannumsehgal, @mozagramm, and team plied us with some fab food & excellent coffees. We need @espressosanyday in Bombay stat!

It was so great meeting f&b media friends (old and new) from around India, and with everyone dressed to the nines, we looked like a shiny baraat (see last pic!)

Thanks teams Bright Hospitality and @sparkplug_inc (@shrutus & @prarthnavohra) for this lovely experience, not to mention the warm hospitality of @tajchandigarh where I stayed the night #hosted #delishtravels #delisheats

A few action-packed days in Singapore this week at A few action-packed days in Singapore this week at #ILTMAsiaPacific 2026 @iltm_events

Met so many travel and hospitality folks as well as journalists and editors from around the world. There were many interesting insights, some new openings to look forward to, and plenty of good food!  Obviously, I got through it with lots of coffee (and some Champagne 🥂🥂)

The schedule was packed but I did manage to sneak in some hawker centre fare plus a nice Martini at @atlasbarsg 🍸🍸

And a big shout-out to the super-fun India contingent (including the Malaysia/Singapore expats) - @akankshamsingh @charukesi @shalbhasarda @meherbee @aindrilamitra & @07chaitalip plus @saadhvimehra 🌸🌸

I stayed at @panpacificsingapore where my suite came with sweeping Marina Bay views 😍😍
Birthday staycation at The Kin, Mumbai. This love Birthday staycation at The Kin, Mumbai.

This lovely design hotel at Shivaji Park was the perfect place to spend the weekend. Loved its quirky-cool aesthetic (I'm a sucker for teal) and the sea view from our spacious room on the 3rd floor. Food comes from its sister concern, Tertulia - excellent watermelon feta salad + chicken katsu sando for dinner and cacao bowl for breakfast.

If you're looking for a hotel in South-Central Mumbai, @thekinhotel is a great choice. Doubles around Rs. 10,000; our sea-view suite was about Rs.16,000 for a weekend stay (breakfast not included).

Isai Karai by CGH Earth Saha offers a peaceful get Isai Karai by CGH Earth Saha offers a peaceful getaway, just 10km from Mahabalipuram’s UNESCO-listed group of 7th- and 8th-century monuments, and under 90mins from Chennai airport. 

With five beautifully done up rooms across two units, it is ideal for families, small groups, and multi-generational travel.

Three things I loved? Heritage chic aesthetic; home-style coastal cuisine; and direct beach access (just 150m away!)
