“Every
day is special with you at my side,
I
don’t fear getting lost, when you are my guide.
We
have our moments of love and that of fight,
But
it’s only you who make my future look as bright!!!”
It’s going to be
four years of magical togetherness this 11th of December. Time
really flies. We have almost known each other for eight long years. Long? Not
really, never felt so. Each day had a new excitement of knowing a newer and
better side of each other. In an era of crumbling relationships and lack of
faith in the institution of marriage. I beg to differ, marriage is a blissful
journey, if only you can befriend your partner. Husband wives sometime drift
apart because of the huge egos surrounding each one of them. But ego never
crops his evil head in friendship.
Avishek and I on our wedding day
This year 11th
of December is a Thursday, and a week day is a big NO NO for celebration in
Mumbai. So we planned to kick start our anniversary celebrations right from 7th
(Sunday). We decided to spend a romantic evening overlooking the bay and the
queen’s necklace! Trying to figure out the best hangout destination, meeting
our requirements, we came across Dome.
Dome
Overlooking the
capricious waves of the Arabian Sea hitting the boulders and Queen’s necklace
of Marine drive, Dome, is ideal breeding ground for romantic seeds. It’s chic white couches and smartly placed
candle lit lamps, creates an intriguing and exciting illusion of the dark and
light. The blue illumination here and there, especially near the pool side,
casts a deceiving magical spell on the onlooker. While the DJ continues bang on
with the Swedish mafia, the cool breeze lovingly caresses and plays with
strands of hair. The bounteous sky dotted with twinkling stars and Moon looking
down! It was a mystical and romantic evening for us. Though not the full moon,
but the night was blessed with an almost one. Which added feather to the cap.
Poolside in Dome
Located at the
roof top of Hotel intercontinental in Churchgate Mumbai, Dome is one of the
famous sky lounges in the City. A lavish lounge known for its million dollar
view, it is a treat to see the majestic sun gradually embrace the darkness and
sink in the Arabian waters, painting the sky red. The food and beverages are
good, if not great. The staff is friendly and adds spark to the place. Every
good thing comes with a price, and hence the price of eatables and drinkable s
at this cocktail lounge are definitely the higher side, but worth for the
stupendous view.

We had our share
of romance and enjoyed every moment of the evening in the lounge. Though not
the best place to fill your stomach, but definitely of the best to quench your
thirst to view the beauty of the city in a most chic way. I recommend Dome to
people looking forward to spending a chilled out and romantic evening by the bay!
