I was going to tell you all about Lush, the hottest new party place at Phoenix Mills, but realized that nobody could tell it better than Pooja Bedi in her new column in Mid Day.

Meanwhile, let me brief you on the Mocha Backpacker's Club, started last month, an interactive platform on backpacking info, experiences and advice. The Club meets on the last Sunday of every month at 12 pm to help backpackers with info about organising a trip. Every meet focusses on one destination, and you get to know about everything from travel arrangements to buying the right gear to managing within limited budgets and so on. Usually, there are guest speakers -- celebrity, experts or otherwise -- who have travelled extensively and independently.

You will have to pay a one-time membership fee of Rs 500 to become a member of this club, which also gets you discounts on travel equipment like sleeping bags along with special offers on air tickets, travel arrangements, and Lonely Planet guidebooks.
