and what do you do with a few hours in a Metro city..?

The Audi Car company recently launched 14 showrooms in ofcourse 14 different cities in India.
My company landed with the contract to do exquisite Floral Decor for the showrooms.
Due to fast moving Weddings vertical and business coming in last minute;
I had to travel to 4 leading metros in India. The primary task. of any personnel traveling is smooth and successful operation of the Floral set up in these showrooms. As manager ihad the liberty to do over look smooth set up without ofcourse actually Setting it up.  occassionally in each city stole  a couple of hours to grab lunch and cover the best sights of the city in the limited span of time.

Every city is unique indefinitly but because we re talking about india - the indianness remains common to all cities!

For instance truly enjoyed the sumptous lunch in Bangalore from a local joint - Chicken Dum Biryani and Dry Nellore Chicken.
I actually. Did lick the plate after eatig food meant for two in quantity.

Kolkatta has a rich cultural heritage seen across its buildings, chruches and local cusines!

Serving Chai in a 'Kulhad' is typically village like but such a commodity here. The moderness of Park Street and damaged ancient mansions running parallel is an eye candy.

Though these were 1 day set ups; including flying the previous night and back home post the party, the rush of pushing myself to explore each city or simply unable to catch sleep while wandering On the streets to kill time - the highs and lows were all welcomed and good fun.
