Your favourite summer holiday destinations?
European capital cities are our first choices. Do two European capital cities a year, and eventually, you land up with a history degree.
Where do you usually take your winter breaks?
Somewhere tropical, so Southeast Asia is the obvious choice. The trip must start with either Singapore or Bangkok, and then we tend to explore the smaller cities. The next vacation we are planning involves a lot of nontouristy places in Myanmar.
Preferred airline?
If west-bound from India, then Emirates for sure. When [we’re] east-bound, it’s got to be Singapore Airlines. If travelling in India, Vistara.
Three hotels you swear by, and why?
The Oberoi Rajvilas in Jaipur. It not only put Rajasthan on the luxury travel map, but is also the resort where I have experienced the best service.
