June 20, 2017 · by Karina · in Delhi, In the news, Mumbai, Universal Spirits

April 14, 2016 · by Karina · in Beer, Delhi, In the news, Wine

So the city has just been rechristened Gurugram. That’s not the good news. That’s terrible news and I sympathise. But if Gurugramites… Gurugramians… citizens of Gurugram (?) are looking for a silver lining to this dark cloud, this is it….
