Hotel Ashok in collaboration with Hungry Heart Festival presents a special theatre extravaganza titled “Laugh Affaire” comprising two plays on two consecutive days

This one is for the lovers of classic English literature as the Black Cow Company presents the Complete Works of William Shakespeare – a two-hour production showcasing the brilliant works of Wiiliam Shakespeare one after the other. Each play is performed, discussed, and explained by the cast along with special nuances that most of us would have otherwise missed out on.

Jesus & Mary College (JMC) was established in 1968 and is run by the sisters of Jesus & Mary Congregation that originated in France. The college is only for women and its aim has been to make God known to young and the destitute. The college focuses on all round development of the students and seeks to make them successful in both their professional and personal life by providing a healthy academic environment. There are currently over 2400 regular students in the college.

The Orient Express at the Taj Palace Hotel captures the mystique of the legendary train, the Orient Express, which has been traversing Europe for over a century. The dining area successfully recreates a carriage in the train, and with it, the ambience of a bygone era.

Known for its Vodka based cocktails, the “Guava Berry Martini”, the “Cosmopolitan” and Bacardi based “Mojito” Ricks is one of the most famous bars in the city, situated at the lobby level, and inspired by the legendary movie “Casablanca” where the lead character displays the finest wines.

The city’s most popular nightclub is situated at the Ashoka Hotel. It is a major hive for the young, rich and beautiful on weekends.

There is good food, yummy food and then an exotic experience. For a divine experinece with Orrisa Cuisine a visit to Orrisa Niwas T Chankyapuri is a must.

Here’s some good news for all the foodies out there, Garam Masala at Chanakyapuri is organizing a kebab festival called ‘Koyle Ke Khan Se’ all this month.

On the menu will be, what else, but a wide array of kebabs (both veg. and non-veg. though I personally think there’s no such thing as a vegetarian kebab). Some must-try items include reshmi chicken tikka, fish Amritsari and mulayam seekh kabab and the veggies can try the bhutte ke khas kebab and the paneer reshmi seekh.

Mahashivratri is one festival which personifies devotion of the highest order. In classical dance, even Bhartnatyam personifies devotion to the highest level . What happens when both are converged with the blend of the open air. Magic, thats right, today Hotel Ashok will experience this magical blend at 7 pm. The artist are Timira Haranam and Shanta Sharanam. Both the artist are excellent exponents and this promises to be a visual delight.
