What were some of the things you did on your visit here?
I loved the Kala Ghoda wine café where I got to eavesdrop on conversations. There were two foreign journalists breaking down the political situation in India. I usually go for the cheapest wine since I am cash-trapped. But, the mutton cutlets and the dark chocolate ice cream were fabulous. We also had a lovely lunch at Burma Burma where the khao suey is to die for. I loved the David Sassoon Library, Prince of Wales Museum (CSMVS) and Jehangir Art Gallery.

What is it about the city that you first notice?
The spirit. There is a certain sense of openness and an electric vibe. Nobody is laidback and the sense of fashion is fun to observe too. People are quite put together unlike in Bengaluru (my base city) where everybody ambles out in pyjamas.
