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

Delhi's cafe scene is popping! Loved the vibe at Delhi's cafe scene is popping! 

Loved the vibe at @thedrop.del and of course, their excellent coffee. The desserts looked great as well, need to make another trip, lol. Oh, and they serve cocktails too.

My final meal in Delhi was brunch with @geetikasachdev at @espressosanyday - it was packed to the brim, and it's no surprise coz it's such a fun and lively place, with fab food and great coffee, not to mention some delish desserts #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!)

Celebrated my birthday with the fam, some fab seafood, and then checked in for a staycation (details later!)
M A H A B A L I P U R A M Stunning monolithic mon M A H A B A L I P U R A M

Stunning monolithic monuments, stone-cut temples, and one of the largest bas reliefs in the world - the UNESCO World Heritage site of Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram) is a sight to behold. The complex dates between the 7th and 9th centuries and was built during the reign of the Pallava dynasty. 

Avoid the weekend rush and go early to beat the crowds (monuments open from 6am to 6pm, Rs. 40 for Indian visitors).

Still not over the stunning natural beauty of Abru Still not over the stunning natural beauty of Abruzzo’s great national parks! 

From the Gran Sasso and its soaring peak, Corno Grande (the highest point in the Apennine Mountains) to the Majella, it's all about dramatic landscapes and ancient forests in this wild heart of Italy. Plus, there are charming hilltop villages to explore as well as the remains of Rocca Calascio fortres (pic 7), which was built between the 10th and 13th centuries.

Photos from two separate days - one beautifully curated by @exploringabruzzo and the other onboard the historic @ferroviadeiparchi train that took me on a scenic ride through the national parks, 101/0 would recommend both!
