Do you like art exhibitions, theatre, rock shows, musical performances, concerts, street plays, and good food? I at least enjoy the occasional outing along these lines, and one of the best (if not the only place) places in Gurgaon for this is called The Epicentre. It is nice little place located at the Apparel House in Sector 44.
One of the most obvious features of this place as soon as you enter it is the Amphitheater – which is where most of the events take place. It’s got plenty of seating space and a very nice backdrop of the Apparel house building. There are several events during a month that occur here regularly from Shenai Vadan to Guitar performances.

Yesterday, I went to watch a movie with some friends. And since PVR had finally launched Gold Class in Gurgaon, I decided to give it a try to see what all the hoopla is about. Before I say anything else, let me conclude that I wasn’t disappointed. But, that is rushing it. Let me recount the experience first. The PVR Gold Class is only available in the brand new PVR at the swanky Ambi Mall (next to the Toll Plaza). If you haven’t been to Ambi Mall, well, that is a topic for a different post all together. I say swanky, because it has some of the best brands selling their wares in it (including BMW, by the way). Anyway, I digress.

In this post, I will describe my experiences with one of the Healthcare services in Gurgaon.

One would imagine that a Spa is a service that not too many people avail of in Gurgaon, and one would be dead wrong. In the past couple of years the number of Spas in and around Gurgaon have gone up considerably, with most of them pulling in a lot of crowds. Also, a Spa offers services for not only women, but men as well. There is nothing more rejuvenating than an hour of massage after a hectic week of work.

Earlier this month, New York Times did a feature on Gurgaon highlighting how slums are intermingled with expensive societies that have come up in Gurgaon. It’s titled: Inside Gate, India’s Good Life; Outside, the Servants’ Slums. While I don’t totally agree with the way the article is written (I feel it’s too criticizing in pieces), there is one point that I have always felt to be true myself and it is highlighted in the beginning of the article.

It’s been raining cats and dogs in Gurgaon. And it’s not only us humans who suffer. Take a look at the pictures posted on Habitually Good about who else is troubled by the early monsoon.

Till today, I didn’t know that the Gurgaon Police has an online presence. I suppose I should have assumed this, but somehow in India you don’t take progressiveness on the part of the government as granted.
The bright side of this is that you are always pleasantly surprised when you find out about something like this.
Anyway, the site looks pretty well organized, with a number of neatly arranged sections catering for various activities such as Complaints, Passport, Arms License, Driving License, etc.
