Paint Your Holidays with Different Shades of India

India is the perfect example of unity in diversity. Each and every part of this magnificent land leaves you pleasantly shocked with its own brand of charm. Be it, the somewhat quiet laidback ambience of Bangalore, the exuberance of Kolkata, or the scenic beauty of Uttarakhand – India is like a kaleidoscope of colours. Here is a take on a couple of characteristic traits of Mumbai and Delhi.

Mumbai Fashion

Mumbai, the finance capital of India is not just about currency. In terms of glamour and fashion it is to India, what Paris is to France. Being the nerve centre of ‘Bollywood’, the world’s largest film industry, Mumbai literally dictates fashion trends throughout the country as people all over India try to emulate the on screen persona of their favourite celebrities. In fact, Mumbai remains India’s biggest hot couture industry, with the most sought after fashion designers and models nesting in the city. If you are planning to spend your holidays in Mumbai, then be prepared to empty out your wallets at the scores of designer celebrity boutiques and renowned clothing chains, or humbler bargain friendly shopping precincts like Fashion Street. While in Mumbai, one also gets the enticing opportunity to visit Goa on a shoestring budget.

Delhi Nightlife

Delhi during the day and at night is as alike as chalk and cheese. In simple terms, Delhi makes for an electrifying nightlife, which has something for every taste. There are plenty of live music bands, restaurants, shows, festival, bars, lounges, and discotheques to choose from.

Be it earth shattering high decibel Rock music at some discotheque or just a quiet romantic late night dinner, Delhi has it all. The five star hotels in Delhi offer the hottest piece of action. Some of the most popular haunts for night animals are Annabelle’s, Djinns, Fireball, Ghungroo, Mirage, and O’Zone. Away from the world of nightclubs, the Jama Masjid area offers its own kind of nightlife. The bazaar here comes alive with scores of restaurants and shops dishing outculinary wonders, especially of the Mughlai variety.

Divorce Tourism in India

Is your marriage going through a rough patch? Do not worry. You are not alone. Millions of young couples are stranded in similar circumstances in their marriage.

In line with the changing social realities, travel agents have launched special ‘Divorce Tourism’ packages for couples who want to give a last shot to rescue their marriages. Call it an endeavour to introduce an element of novelty in a saturated market or a genuine attempt to save troubled marriages; travel agents, for sure, have succeeded in spotting a niche in the market that, unfortunately, has a lot of growth potential.

India, for long seen as a country where marriages are strongly believed to lay strong foundations of the society, is catching up with the tour operators offering divorce holidays to couples. Choice of India as a preferred destination for such packages may also have resulted from a relatively high success rate of marriages that the country enjoys.

However, couples who do not want to spend their holidays to India can choose offbeat international destinations like the Czech Republic, Jordan, Maldives & Spain to spend some quality time with each other. Often these are all-expenses-paid holidays gifted by a well wisher who is either a close relative or parent.

The modus operandi employed by these travel agents is to send such couples on group tours where one of the members of the group is a marriage counsellor. His or her main task is to talk to the couple during the trip and acquire an understanding of the problems that have beset their relationship and offer constructive solutions to both partners. However, some travel agents believe that such marketing strategies which feed on the unhappiness of frustrated couples are inherently unethical and are bound to fail.

Now instead of recommending lawyers, you have one better option to suggest to a warring couple who you think are at the verge of a divorce.
