I received an invitation to a Trade Show at Bandra-Kurla complex and thought it might be a good idea to take a client and my contractor along since a few things needed to be finalised at a particular interior design site.

I was aghast when they wanted to charge my companions Rs. 100 each to enter. And after all that, it was a terrible, terrible, exhibition. All gloss and absolutely no substance – exactly the kind I can’t stand.
