I can’t wait to check in

I am not the right person to write glowingly about my experiences in five-star hotels and restaurants. I have neither the taste, nor the turn of phrase.

Just messed the timing!!!By: Rony Das | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 11:40:35 AM Reply | Forward A nicely written article but for the timing... It evokes a feeling of nostalgia, pain and at the end a poignancy... I hope that the landmarks do come up fast and back in business... not for cashing in on the gloom factor but for what it has stood for before this gloom...Well a surprising piece of writing from Shekhar, considering his style of putting words... I bet some day he would become a good narrator.I feel bad for the ridicule on the article... but I will let the blame rest on the timing...

Shekhar Sahib,s Ode To The OberoisBy: Wg Cdr Rajinder K Chaudhary,VSM(Retd) | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 23:14:31 PM Reply | Forward A well deserved good chit for the Great man Biki Oberoi and his very fine Chain but regretably the timings are not right.Whatever may have been the good intentions of Mr Shekhar Gupta-the ODE TO THE OBEROIS smacks of arrogance displayed by those who live in the Luxury Suites at the Corporate Expense Account.I cannot remember if Mr Gupta ever wrote such a piece on the Army Messes where he often stayed while covering the Counter-Insurgency Operations in the East- perhaps he was too worried what if the Army would bestow the Tenancy Rights on him of the Tents and Barshas.Fond as he is of Good Music-this was the time for him perhaps to recollect the memorable Song Lata Mangeshkar sang 46 years back "Aey Mere Wattan Ke Loggo " to imortalise those who gave their Today for our Tomorrow(Mr Gupta,s,Yours,Mine and Ours).I feel sorry that his good feelings and prayers for the well being of those great men and women of the Oberois have boomrangged(comments speak) but he asked for it himself.
