The Leela Palace Chennai-Seaside Modern Palace Hotel’s Post

Anyone living in India is well-versed in the itinerary of #AnantAmbani and Radhika Merchant's #wedding, and how could we not be? Especially when everyone in the world is treating it like the event of the decade! And though the collective guilty pleasure of the nation seems to be staying updated with the wedding, judging what everyone is wearing, and knowing what outlandish level of luxury the next #prewedding celebratory event will touch, we somehow think of ourselves as unaffected by this #marriage. However, that is not the case. Though #Mumbai, ringing with the music of the #wedding procession, has seen various discomforts (traffic jams, road closures, etc.) due to the wedding, the biggest inconvenience seems to be the soaring prices of hotels in the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) area. According to reports, the rates of #5starhotels in the area, which usually are around ₹13,000 per night, have now surged up to almost ₹1 lakh per night for the July 11-18 timeframe. Big names like #Trident BKC, Sofitel Mumbai BKC, Holiday Inn, ITC Grand Central, Mumbai, The #Oberoi, #Taj, JW Marriott, and #Leela have all implemented dynamic pricing, which makes the same #hotel room more than five times more expensive than its usual rate. https://lnkd.in/ggRHenXK Trident Hotels Trident Hotel Bandra Kurla The Oberoi Group Taj Hotels Taj Mahal Palace And Tower Hotel Mumbai JW Marriott Mumbai Sahar The Leela Palaces, Hotels and Resorts THE Leela Mumbai (Mumbai) Puneet Chhatwal Dhirubhai ambani

How Should You Respond to Insults? The best response to an insult is no reaction in the moment. Instead, focus on creating something meaningful that speaks louder than any words. Success is the most powerful answer—it silences those who doubted you without needing to say a thing. Why waste energy on negativity when you can build greatness? Let your achievements make the noise, and your critics will be left in silence. How do you handle insults—do you respond, or let your success speak for itself? #Tags: #RiseAbove #SuccessSpeaksLouder #PositiveMindset #Leadership #PersonalGrowth #FocusOnGreatness #StayResilient

The world watched in awe as the festivities of this wedding unfolded. Here are some fascinating #facts about "The Ambani Wedding," also referred as the mother of all weddings: 1. Most #expensive wedding celebration in the world: This event  surpassed even the grand weddings of Prince Charles & Lady Diana and Harry & Meghan Markle. 2. #Famous restaurants from Italy, Singapore recreated at the venue in Mumbai: The wedding featured over 2500+ dishes from India and around the world. Entire renowned restaurants, complete with their chefs and entourage, were recreated within the food area. Examples include Il Borro from Tuscany and Hutong from Singapore. 3. #Ode to Varanasi: The decor theme was "An Ode to Varanasi," paying homage to the spiritual capital of Hinduism and spirituality. 4. Invites being #sold: Invites were being sold by existing guests since they were given +1 privileges . Hence anyone who could secure a +1 invite could actually attend the wedding. 5. #International Guests & Reliance #employees were invited: The guest list included international dignitaries like the CEO of Samsung and the former Prime Minister of the UK, Bollywood celebrities, and even Reliance employees. They enjoyed performances by artists such as A.R. Rahman ,Shreya Ghoshal etc. 6. #Clothes from their own brands: Majority clothes were from Manish Malhotra and Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla where Ambanis hold 40% #stake in these design labels.  7. #Expenditure: The Ambanis spent a staggering Rs. 5000 crore on the wedding. I wonder if such big weddings have a #budget or cost #control team or just the mandate is to spend and make it as big as possible.

DAY 4/30 🗓 𝐓𝐢𝐭𝐥𝐞: 𝐈𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐤𝐚𝐲 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐞 𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐲, 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐥, 𝐰𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐭✨️ I have always loved travelling, walking and exploring. Wherever I go, I just don’t prefer to sit around. I like to meet new people, see new places, and try different foods and more. Many a times, I don’t even care whether I am tired or not. I just go out and explore. Something similar happened on this trip. I had a long flight from #Delhi to #Armenia. It was a 14 hours overnight night flight with a layover of 6 hours. I was not able to sleep at all in any of the flights. Being awake for more than 24 hours is not my game. But, for me, the excitement for my trip was the top priority. As soon as I reached my hotel, I didn’t take any rest. Just bought a fruit juice and went to explore the city😂. It is always a good time to take a walk when the weather is good. The moment I started walking in the city, the weather supported me a lot. Fresh air, cool temperature, escaping the Delhi heat, I had an amazing time😇. From my first impressions within 2 hours of walking, I realized: 1. Most of the people did not speak English, but were extremely friendly and welcoming. 2. #Armenia had amazing historical architecture even in the city. It was a treat to the eyes. 3. The evening and night time had a great vibe. Relaxing as well as fun. 4. Well, it was not crowded, which is what we don’t often see in Delhi😂. 5. Since I initiated conversation with random people, I got to know about different places which I could visit in the upcoming days. I could have easily stayed in my hotel room, slept or maybe watched Netflix. But none of these things can beat the beauty of: 1. Tasting different food delicacies. 2. Exploring the transportation system. 3. Talking with random strangers at different places. 4. Visiting traditional markets to get a glimpse of the traditions of the country. Because I decided to travel and not to sit back at the hotel, I discovered something unique and interesting. Will tell you about it in the next post. #travel #video #photography
