GVK Lounge By Performa, CSIA- Luxury At Its Finest

There exists a long list of things which I dread, one of which is having to go to an airport. Even though I love travelling and absolutely adore journeys, the prospect of reaching the airport on time to catch a flight is terrifying (Courtesy: Dozens of almost missed flights) and so is the thought of having to kill time at the airport (Courtesy: Children crying their lungs out). So when I was invited to have a look at the newly done GVK Lounge at CSIA and sample the decadent food offerings, I wasn't thrilled, to be honest. Now, in retrospective, I am glad I tried facing this fear of mine because all thanks to this one visit, I can surely assure you that at least Mumbai Airport has ceased to frighten me anymore. In fact, I am desperately wanting to call it my second home!

Dripping with luxury at every nook and doused with a distinctively opulent Indian touch the GVK Lounge at CSIA is an absolute eye-candy. Each direction is a sight to behold. The lush interiors coupled with the extremely soothing ambience is the exact need of a worn-out traveller. And don't even get me started on the food on offer- the wide array of cuisines served with the Indian hospitality simply elevates the overall experience to a new high. I love how they have kept the food preferences of every traveller in mind and have clearly labelled the allergens in the food on offer. 

The entire space is spread across 30,000 sq. ft. and is segregated into three different categories- First Class, Premium Class and Business Class. The amenities on offer cannot be grander; guests enjoy complimentary foot spa service along with an open bar, and one of the most scrumptious buffets I have had in a while laden with a terrific view- all in complete privacy. What more would a weary jet-setter want, right? Hence, it shouldn't come as a surprise that this lounge has the title of 'World's Best First Class Lounge' in its kitty! Don't believe me? I shall let the pictures do the talking...

Random things from my Mind

Okay, I was just browsing through channels on my television, when I chanced upon this song being played on VH1 and since then, I am listening to this "master-piece" non-stop on YouTube! Hey, I don't like a particular genre of music but listen to whatever pleases my ears (Hmm....but I am certainly a bit partial to Urban Punjabi genre due to my beloved Imran Khan ). To be honest, I am not in a mood to write some heavy, pour-out-my-heart post as all my excitement for Navratri  has been spoiled by those slow songs played during Dandiya, tonight. So, in this post I'd prefer to cut short my words and let the video above and picture below do the talk. Chocolate Milkshake. Just one word.....YUMMY! Ah, How much I love this thing (Choco-milkshake) filled in little plastic containers from my college's cafeteria! It's pure bliss to take the sips and linger all over them, trying to devour these. Yeah, I know I am sounding crazy right now, but frankly I can't

Chapter 2: Such A Long Journey

You can read the first chapter here ) __________ “The number you are trying to call is currently busy, please try again later.” was what Shekhar could hear on the other end of his call. He sighed and assured himself that indeed she must be busy at work.  “I’ve boarded the train back home, and will reach by tomorrow. Call me ASAP.” he typed in a jiffy and sent the message to Tara, his wife, and slouched in his seat. He couldn’t help but think of Tara and how strained their relationship has become, not that it had been a healthy one erstwhile, but now it took a lot of effort even to communicate! They went days and sometimes even weeks without seeing each other although they lived together under the same roof; she'd be up and out even before the sun’s first rays hit the earth and home a
