Concentration!

Sundays are reserved for gully cricket, which is the most commonly played sport in India, and had it not been for COVID-19, there would have been more players in this picture. Watching them play brought back so many good memories from back on the day.

Clicked this picture on Sunday while walking through one of the lanes at Fort in Mumbai.

Gully cricket is sacred!

“Staring into the nothingness”

This picture was clicked in my most relaxed state. Before coming to the gazebo for breakfast (in the pic), I spent an hour in the pool followed by a really nice head massage.

WOW! United airlines have just announced an agreement with to purchase up to 50 'Overture' supersonic jets.

The company promises to connect the world safely and sustainably, states that the jet travels at speeds twice as fast as today's passenger planes and flies on 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

This will become the first supersonic commercial jet since Concorde. The planes are expected to roll out in 2025, fly in 2026, and enter commercial service in 2029.

The news was so big that Airlines has struck its profile down to just one post - "Supersonic planes to join our fleet"

NEWS: In order to prevent its crew from having to layover in India during the peak of the second wave, the German carrier had added an extra stop to the flights that were flying under the air bubble agreement from Frankfurt to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. These flights stopped over in the Middle East before flying to India.

On the other hand, after hearing over 40 petitions that were filed in Delhi high court, Justice Jyoti Singh on Tuesday issued an order stating that all 61 pilots be reinstated by the airline and the back wages be paid.

One of the top suites at The Oberoi Mumbai - The Golconda Suite.

It is spread over 2000 square feet and features a bedroom, separate living and dining areas, and a pantry.

The few things inside that further add to the charm of the suite include an Elliptical cross trainer, a telescope to keep you busy, panoramic views of the Queen’s Necklace - Marine Drive, and not to forget the black piano sitting in the centre of the suite.

The suite is suitable for two guests only, but there is a connecting room if you wish to accommodate more than two guests.

Tucked in the greenery and serene lakeside, Olive Bistro provides the perfect option to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city that has established itself as the next IT hub of India. I wouldn’t be wrong if I said the place has a liberating feel to it.

Hyderabad has plenty to offer, but most of the time old city takes the limelight, not giving enough opportunity for other aspects to shine. This is my effort at providing some insight into the restaurant and cafe culture in Hyderabad:

Peaceful, soothing, and accommodating are just some of the things that these places exuded, to create the perfect vibe. To top that off, food was never a letdown. The staff were eager to assist me with my order and were patient and courteous throughout.

READ CAPTION: Air India announced on May 21, 2021, that the airline was subject to a major cyberattack.

The server breach included name, date of birth, contact information, passport information, ticket information, Star Alliance and .in frequent flyer data, and as well as credit card data. In addition to this, the airline has mentioned that in respect to the credit card data, "CVV/CVC numbers are not held by their data processors".

In Air India's defence, the company, even though in a limited way, they have at least informed their customers about the data breach. Given that India doesn't have a proper Data Protection Law in place and very relaxed regulatory requirements regarding data handling, a lot of the companies don't even consider informing the customers important.

I made a quick stop in Delhi for a night at Vivanta New Delhi, Dwarka. 📍

While I did not have very high expectations of this property, I did at least expect them to maintain basic hygiene and cleanliness – though this was lacking, as I experienced mosquitoes at the bar and stains in the room.

In the second half of 2020, I stayed at the ITC Kohenur, a five-star luxury hotel in Hi Tech City, Hyderabad.🏨

The interior and exterior of this property were breathtaking, and it lived up to its reputation as a luxury collection hotel.👏🏼

The staff were warm and welcoming and the food was equally good, but due to covid protocols, I was unable to use their swimming pool, gym, and Peacock Bar.

If you're a fan of ITC hotels, you’d surely find this article interesting. Click the link in our bio to read it.

The Rodrigues Heritage House, even though located in the lively Candolim, it naturally disconnects you from the outside world and provides a sense of peace and tranquillity. 😇

The nicely done suite had most of the facilities available, however, one of the things that bothered me was that I couldn't access the WIFI in my room.

The host and staff here were warm and attentive. I felt at ease during my stay, which I extended by adding another two nights to it. 🤩

On my one-way trip from Delhi to Goa towards the end of 2020, I booked myself a SpiceMAX seat with SpiceJet.✈️

As one would expect from an economy flight, the overall result was average.🤷‍♂️ Though, because of the meal service, extra legroom, priority boarding, and extra luggage allowance, I believe the SpiceMAX upgrade was worthwhile.

If you've ever taken a SpiceMAX flight, let us know about your experience in the comments.👇
