ALL THE WONDERS IN ONE PLACE

OYO rooms, the budget rooms at the best locations !

#OYOxplorer

Whenever we have to move out of our home for some business purpose or for vacation with family, the only problem we face is the availability of a quality room at a reasonable price. Moreover, the mobile network is generally not available, making our smartphone, of no use.

I remember the situation when we were on the trip of Manikaran Sahib, Kullu, Manali & Rohtang. We reached Manali by car at around 8 pm and it was already very dark. Most of the hotels had exhibited the sign boards stating no rooms available or if available, they were asking for double  the tariff. We faced the same situation at Madgaon and at many other places.

Therefore, when I heard about the OYO rooms, I was very much excited as OYO was offering quality rooms with breakfast & wi-fi at very reasonable price. Have you heard about the OYO rooms which is said to be the largest branded network of hotels in India and that too with budget rooms starting at just Rs 999 /- with free wi-fi and breakfast.

They have the availability of OYO rooms in Goa, Delhi, Gurgaon, Mumbai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai, Noida, Jaipur, Manesar, Tirupati, Ghaziabad, Neemrana, Kolkata, Chandigarh, Pune, Varanasi & Ahmedabad.

We can book a room very easily from their website. Moreover, if we want the lightning fast booking, anywhere, any time, we can download the OYO App from App Store as well Google Play.  

Being a Delhiite, I decided to explore the so called OYO rooms at Rs 999/- in our city. I just checked their website and was surprised to find that OYO rooms were available in various parts of the city, that included :  Paharganj, Karol Bagh, Greater Kailash, New Delhi Railway Station, Green Park, Indira Gandhi Airport, New Friends Colony, Kalkaji, Lajpat Nagar, Nehru Place, Connaught Place, Saket with the options of Standard, Premium and women exclusive.

It seemed quite interesting as many of these were the prime locations and a budget room at just Rs 999 with free breakfast & Wi-fi was impossible. Therefore, I continued my search on their website.

I spent substantial time on their website and clicked almost all of the above locations for a Standard room, and truly, OYO rooms were available at many locations at Rs 799/- and 999/- though the range included higher prices also i.e. 1099/-, 1299/-, 1399/-, 1699/-, 1999/- and more. 

So one thing is sure and certain, that a budget OYO room  is really available at various locations at the best prices and therefore, now onwards, i will opt only the OYO rooms. If you still have any doubt, please feel free to check yourself. Just log on to their website & try an OYO room at your preferred location & don't be shocked, when you really get an OYO room booking at the budget price, at the click of your mouse.

Know all about 24 hour cab services in Delhi

Though Delhi metro has become an attractive mode of transport in the city, its lack of connectivity with many destinations as well its non availability during late hours, has forced the commuters to opt for the other options such as Cab services. These quick cab services in Delhi have become so common that over a dozen international brands are now visible on the roads such as Easy cabs, Quick cabs, Meru cabs, Yo cabs, Radio taxis etc to cater the large influx of tourists from all over the world. 

These cab services are generally the 24 hour cab services in Delhi & available from any part of the city towards any location and are known as 24x7 ( i.e. 24 hours & seven days ). They can be contacted & booked over the central control numbers of various operators & many of them provide online facilities also. Once booked, the cab operators send the nearest cab to the commutters for the timely services.

Most of the commuters have all the praises for these  night cab services in Delhi, as they are polite, very co operative & helpful. But in order to improve further the quality services of various cab operators, the concerned agencies & cab operators must do proper screening before appointing a driver so that the commuters could feel more n more comfortable in Delhi. The operators must work hard to maintain its quality standards, dignity & goodwill.

Truly speaking, these cab services in Delhi have become its lifeline. Quick & fast services, efficient drivers with quality cabs, attached with a GPRS system & a telephone are easily accessible to the commuters. Delhi Traffic police must support these services with easy licencing policies. In order to promote these services in Delhi, govt must introduce certain standard guidelines with easy loan facilities, so that more & more unemployed youth could join this profession.

Even the local population of Delhi uses these cab services at regular intervals and they have faced some hardships while availing these services. Many a time they are late to reach the starting point due to massive traffic jams in the city. The traffic congestion must be controlled as its not only delaying the movement of traffic but also the main cause of rising pollution in Delhi which has become the most polluted city of the words. Quality of roads must also be improved so that tourists could move freely without facing any kind of pot holes or caveins.

Tourist hotels for holiday makers in Hyderabad

Hyderabad was the capital of Andhra Pradesh, but after the division of the state, a new state on the name of Telangana came into existence & Hyderabad became the capital of the new state. The other part i.e. Andhra pradesh has taken a decision to name Amaravati ( the town that lives forever ) as its capital.  The other city almost touching Hyderabad is the Secunderabad & both of these are also known as the Twin Cities.  

Hyderabad is a beautiful city with a long list of places that must be visited while in the city. Charminar, Golkonda forte, Birla mandir, Salar jung museum, Chilkur Balaji Temple, Hussainsagar lake, Botanical garden, Nehru Zoological park, Nizam’s museum, National parks as well the Osmansagar lake & Hitec city are some of the great attractions for the tourists in Hyderabad. Tourists generally opt for the Hyderabad tourism hotels, that are easily available at various locations.

Osmania university is a great attraction for all those who want to undergo higher education in Hyderabad. It was founded in the year 1918 & since than students from nearby states also visit Hyderabad for admissions.

As it’s the capital city, tourists who visit Hyderabad, try to stay in the best Hyderabad tourist hotels that are comfortable for the short stay in the city. Its a big city & hence all sort of raw materials are also readily available. As a result, vendors from the state & nearby areas regularly visit Hyderabad for business transactions.

Even though the local language of Hyderabad city is Telugu, Hotel bookings in Hyderabad are not that difficult even for those who don’t know Telugu as Urdu language is also very common. Telugu is a bit difficult language and it is generally called as the Italian of the East & therefore not that easy for the outsiders to understand.

Hyderabad caters to the population of the Twin cities but you will feel at home in the city as the foodies generally available in the city have become the taste of India also. Be it Idly, Dosa, sambher, Vada or Upma & Utpam, everyone likes the foodies of Hyderabad. It’s a great city & one must visit it to understand the culture of South India.

Singapore – Truly a Food Haven for me !

It’s true that Singapore is a Food haven and one can select out of the huge variety of cuisines from Singapore. I like almost everything that relates to Singapore’s cuisine. Truly speaking I have tasted so many cuisines out of the Singapore’s food that now I have developed a good taste for it.

Starting with the 5 versions of Prata. Roti Tissue is very crispy, it comes in the spherical cone shape and it’s paper thin. Roti Plaster is not simply the Prata with egg, instead, it’s served in the dough itself. Chicken Floss Prata is stuffed with light shreds of dried chicken and is very fluffy and if you could try the Red been Prata, it’s so crispy & it oozes so much red bean paste with every bite that you will just love it. In case you are fond of Eggs, you can go for the Prata Benedict that is topped with poached egg, turkey ham and Indian hollandaise sauce. Simply amazing Singapore Cuisines.

I will now tell you about the special cuisines of Serangoon Gardens, the place that I like most, as it has become a hub of foodies, as it has abundance of restaurants, quirky bars and the new concept for all of us i.e. hole – in – the – wall coffee shops. You must taste the Grilled fish served with a tangy chilli sauce which is a local favourite. You can also stand in a line to get another tasty cuisine of Singapore i.e.  oyster omelette – briny whole oysters tossed together in an egg batter then pan-fried to perfection. In case you are still hungry you can try the Duck rice which is the another version of chicken rice. Amongst deserts I liked most the coolest one i.e. ais kacang which has red beans, assorted candied fruits and jelly topped with finely shaved ice and drenched in syrup. You can go to famous bars of the area at night and can get the Dak Gar-Bi (Chicken and Kimchi Paella) and Sogogi Beef Jowl with generous servings of Soju and Soju-based cocktails. All these are worth a try and I am sure you are going to love everything.

In case you are tired by now as Serangoon Gardens are spread in a wider area, you will definitely be looking for something hot to relax. So let me now tell you about the servings of the 4 Cafes of the Singapors’s Beaten Path. I am sure you will love the fine brew in simple, unpretentious cups, alongside menu favourites Eggs Benedict and Kong Bak Pau that takes almost 40 pairs of hands to complete a coffee from germination to percolation. At the next cafe you can go for the coffee, with a good selection of ‘Tummy Fillers’ and sweet treats, amongst which the Madeleines and the Hazelnut Coffee Muffin stand out perfectly. And if you like the colourful vintage furniture, exposed red brick walls and mismatched plates, you can reach the third destination for an extensive dessert menu which ranges from classic staples tiramisu, éclairs and lava cakes, to quirkier experiments such as the popular Root Beer Cake and seasonal Kit Kat Brownie. And if you still have some space left in your big stomach, please don’t miss the crisp and fluffy waffles with a scoop of ice cream on top. And if you would like the appropriate pay-what-you-will amount for a Coffee you must go to the adventurous whale & cloud i.e. the fourth destination.

If you wanna join me during my next trip to Singapore to  eat variety of Pratas or to personally experience the Sarengoon gardens and Beaten path, please feel free to contact me. It will be a fun together at Singapore. In case you want to verify that what I said above is true, you can log on to the link : http://discover.stayfareast.com/ and i am sure you will join me soon.
