Hotel Nidhivan at Vrindavan

I've always wanted to write a review of a Hotel so here goes the fulfilling journey of my words, riding over the plain lands of Vrindavan.

First of all, I must admit here - it takes pure spiritual prowess and determination, to visit Vrindavan as it is primarily a village land open to the skies. Literally, there aren't any airports there so one has to take a flight to either Agra or Delhi and from there take a train or bus... I would suggest a train journey.
A bus journey is typically over crowded with people sitting on your head on top of the bus  and cramping inside the bus so much so that one who is travelling for the first time,  may wonder how the bus didn't topple and it is a miracle they made it to the destination.


For my Indian friends, you've seen the film  Swadesh, now you've developed an urge to travel on top of a bus, here's how you can fulfill it - go to Vrindavan. Personally, I had the fortune of finding a female companion to travel with all those ghastly 3.5hours and she kept on chatting with me all through as though, she had found her soul mate.
Now, Vrindavan is a town in U.P. and has an ancient history. It is known to be the place where Lord Krishna grew up winning the hearts of all the wenches. in his youth. Likewise, even if one visits the town today, you will find the people there are very simple, loving and easily trusted. 
The place breathes peace and love. Although, there is a high probability of people thieving with the conditions in which they live there most people aren't like that, most people can be easily befriended and their state of joy, would make you forget all your worldly worries whilst you are there. 
With me, the series of miracles and events which led to me visiting the place in itself made me believe it was pure Destiny. As though, the lord called me there and guided me removing all obstacles with such serenity as Lord Krishna is known for. I've always called Him my friend as though he exists in spirit inside me.I continue to do so. 

In the place, such as this, I stayed at a Hotel which adds glamour to the town. You will not find another hotel such as this, in the entire place. Not even ISKCON temple, is as good as this one. Hotel Nidhivan--- 


The Best thing about the hotel is the food. In fact, many foreigners and tourists stay there, just for their delicious food. One may wonder, why is the food so fussed about -the answer to that question you will know only when you are actually there. It is a point to be noted and kept in mind. Needless to mention, their staff is very cooperative, friendly and helpful. They go an extra mile to make sure your at comfort and get everything you need. 

During the day, one can see vast green fields on the back side of the hotel and it acts like a calming drop to your senses. Your eyes truly feast upon the greenery with a huge banyan tree in the centre, from your room. And on the side, you can see an array of temple one after the other. 


Prem Temple, is most beautifully lit with colored LED lights over the entire temple. At night, the temple is alight with visitors and religious travelers. However, the hotel promotes conservation of water too since the water supply there is quite limited. 

The Hotel has a very neat and organized basic setup for a room with free wifi connection. There room service is excellent and brings water in my mouth as I recall the delicacies I enjoyed whilst I was there. 

One thing, by which I was awestruck was that time. It really passed very slowly there. And I mean it. Many a times, when I felt more than 4hours had gone by, I would be surprised to know that not even 1 hour had gone by. 


This place is simply the one stop destination if you decide to visit Vrindavan. Their services are top class. The staff there speak in English and Hindi languages. Their packages are most affordable and reasonable for a low budget traveler. The location of the hotel is in walking distance to all popular temples such as Prem Temple, Banki Bihari amongst others. 

The best time to be here, is during the Festival of Holi. As it is known to celebrate the festival for over a month, where in other places across India you will find it being celebrated just one day or maximum a week. 
Unless , of course, your children make it a month long festival where you stay. 

Amongst other facilities, the hotel has an intercom to reach the reception and house keeping and other services. The hotel provides a drop off to the railway station (which is actually in Mathura), almost 45minutes from the hotel. It is a 5 star rating hotel and has elevators.




The administrative and management of the hotel will be the best you can find in Vrindavan. It has an impressive structure, you can see the hotel from afar. One cannot stay there for more 3 days. Since a visitor spends most of their time in the hotel, you would want your hotel to be ---

Meetup.com

How is Everyone doing today??  Well, if your answer has been a yawn, rolled up eyes, a mumble or a soft "OK" then be ready to pop out your eyes for some life changing read. After you've read this review, you can thank me later.


Today's review is about a particular website online which is quite caught up globally, it is one of thee most coolest thing that can exist. This website isn't a " New Thing" , and yet how many of us out there know that it exists??? My bet will be very few.
It offers people from all kinds of backdrops to find people who have the same common interest. Who doesn't enjoy hanging out with a group of people who relate with what you like, think, do and share. Half the time people either give up or doubt their own beliefs and thoughts because no one around them seems to think like them, so they start thinking that there is a change that is required in them and not the world around them - this website changes the world around those people, thus preserving them.
Are you a loner with social starvation? This is for you.
Are you bored of your usual weekend outing and want to explore something that makes your life more exciting? This is for you.


Alright!!! I'm coming there, so the review I'm going to write is about a website called   MEETUP.COM!!!!



Now, if you want to know what the website offers, whats it all about and all the stuff you can easily find, by simply visiting the website. Seriously, all I can say is get some Nike-  just do it and then become McDonald's and say I'm loving it. But anyway, I will cover some bits in the latter part of this review in another perspective, if you are still apprehensive and lazy types to take the leap of faith and just jump into the cool website.

I believe this website started around 2009. Today, it has over 2.07million people across the globe who RSVP and join a local group, which responds to their hearts; spread over 196 countries and more than 315000 meetups taking place every month, this is something worth your time.

For a Local Person, who doesn't leave the city so much - this websites offers a breath of fresh air. One could optimistically network with local people around them, spread the word about their business, find a date , make very cool friends, and do lots of fun activities.

For a frequent traveler, one can relate to people from different cities and expand their horizons beyond their place of residence. Being amongst local people in another city gives you a good feel of the environment and culture of the place.

For a globe trotter, this website is paradise. It virtually makes true a vision of "One World Family" , you could literally see people in different countries and make friends with them.



Since, everyone here on meetup is to socialize, you will find everyone friendly and upcoming. They will make you feel you are valuable and raise your self esteem, even if they don't realize it or probably need it themselves and are getting it from you.



  • You could also create a group yourself and organize great meetups.
  • This is a spam free website. 

Some of the groups I recommend 

Book Exchange Club of Mumbai : This is a group dedicated to intellectual discussions on topics related to literature and books. The group promotes a free exchange of books in order to gain access to books one might have never come across or else has heard about. They even encourage aspiring authors to realizing their dreams. 
The organizer of the group, Mr. Deepak Gupta, is the heart throb of the group. 
This group has showcased itself on a number of occasions in the newspapers. 
I personally had the pleasure of visiting the Jaipur Literature Fest in January'14 and conducting  a Grand Book launch event in Mumbai with their support.


Jaipur Literature Festival '14 

Discussion on Relevance and Impact of Ancient Wisdom with Book Exchange


Similar Groups : Delhi Book Lovers, Book Club - Asian Authors, Bestsellers Book Club. 

Mumbai Board Gamers : It is a group organized and run by a few enthusiasts who simply have the passion for playing board games in them. This group offers periodic gatherings in different places on weekdays and weekends alike. Rest assured, that the games you will play here are not Monopoly, Business , Cluedo or Battleship. The kind of games these people put you throw will trigger a lot more than your calculative and strategic abilities.


Few of the games, are Agricola, Saboteur, 7 Wonders, Carcasonne and Ticket to Ride.
Internationally, the idea of gatherings to play board games has been ethically perceived  as a big contributor towards "people finding dating partners" over such events. It may probably true as many of the games make you reveal a lot about yourself and know about the others. So it is pretty much the hot thing in your vicinity. Although , that's not quite caught up in my country its more of the trend in the USA and UK.
There are groups by the similar names you may find on meetup held in those countries.

Startup Saturdays Meetup : These guys are also pretty good. Their idea is to have monthly meetups which are generally theme based to encourage newbies rolling out in the world with cut throat competition. Although, the audience may not be the best suitors getting conversions but they certainly take back a lot of very innovative stuff that people are doing and perhaps sometimes, the presenters receive very adept advice on their work to boost their success rate.

Hackerspace Mumbai : Although my interest is nothing to do with IT, yet this guys meetups are truly amazing. He is one passionate person who even welcomes other people to present stuff related to development and progress in IT. Its more than a IT gathering, you even have the opportunity to social network and meet people from interesting backdrops.



-----------------...----------------------------

There are groups working on social causes, entrepreneurship, sport activities, yoga and fitness and practically everything required by an individual to develop a lifestyle including partying and travelling with groups.

Few other  interesting Websites which provide such opportunities are  :


  1. Eventbrite.com
  2. Couchsurfing.com
  3. VolunteerMatch.org
  4. Groupon.com
  5. Penpalworld.com
  6. Checkiday.com


Although, all the groups and their activities are pathetically safe and wonderful - I got to give a short disclaimer here saying that, in the event of a mishap or accident, planned or co-incidental in the life of the person gaining inspiration from this review and experiencing any untoward circumstances  shall not  hold me responsible. I, on my part, having fore warned you about it and you must bear in mind that your actions are your own, in the end, , even if they are influenced from anywhere.

So guys, hope you'll had a treat. Do go ahead and feast yourself with the website and get into action.

Book Review : In Search of Love By Ehsaan Nashad

When I first met Ehsaan Nashad he was the writer of some novel (to me) called True Lies and Hump  which had sold a considerable number of books for it to be titled a "Bestseller", as he rightly introduced himself to a group (which had nothing whatsoever to do with writing and books and hence I'm refraining to mention). I was interested because I, myself am pursuing writing passionately. During a brief excerpt then, I gathered that he was coming up with another novel very soon and the book was yet untitled. 

I was specifically associated with a group dedicated to books, here in Mumbai for the past few months. On one such occasion, I dropped in a word about the author, to the organizer, whom I expressed I'd met and  whose 1st  book had "sold over a million copies " presumably by now. Next, came the Book Launch of Mr. Ehsaan Nashad that was held on the 10th May'14 @ Press Club, Fort Mumbai. 


[If you are reading this Ehsaan, I'd like to thank you here for the warmth I got from you. Your embrace when I came to take the book signing, felt like , as if you had wordlessly expressed your deepest gratitude towards me ( for something I didn't know)  ] and that my friend made my day. 

 


In Search Of Love,  is not a book. It is a thought that drives the world. There are millions of nameless living beings in the world who give away their lives in its pursuit and each one expresses this differently. It is the restlessness that denies to exit one's existence, with a stubborn intention of resting inside them. The endurance of pain and love is severe but never ending. It doesn't let you live but you are not allowed to die either. There is an incessant craving to be accepted, loved and understood by your parents, you family, your friends and the society and one gets ready to go to any lengths to get that. 

This Book, taps the life of a boy whose name is Rehaan Merchant. He is a child who has had a troubled childhood with his over abusive and drunken father and cultured helpless and caring mother. Memories of his childhood shape up his life and cling to him as an only abstract identity of him for life. It is inertly unsettling for him as he begins to hate  the concept of love and the institution of  marriage. Yet, never having received consolable love from his father or mother really  he journeys relentlessly In Search of Love 
 It marrs his self image and self esteem totally when he finds his parents on the verge of splitting up,  pulsating contempt inside him for his father, who is so bashful that he betrays his mother in marriage, insults her family and even displays a show of rage over self shattered persona in the few visits  when Rehaan gets the chance to spend time with him. His father goes to the point of disregarding his mothers life when she has just delivered a girl child, when he turns up late and isn't really in town when the mothers family has already tackled some grave complications that prop up during her pregnancy.  His mother having brought him and his younger sister up.




There is always an unspoken disconnect between him and his sister, maybe because of their upbringing or perhaps because the ugly secrets her sister knows of him as an outcome of all he is. On an occasion, he is caught in his 4th grade displaying sexual interest in a girl from his school. Only he doesn't really know the term is " sexual attraction" , at his age and is just simply attracted towards a girls private parts. His sister reports this to her mother, even though she is well aware of the pain it'll cause her - simply out of sibling rivalry. But yet there is a deep connect too between siblings on certain occasions. 

There is a great deal of transformation as the story progresses with  Rehaan, to the point that at sometime he feels that he's turned into his father. 


The story movies on, and he has a series of relationships with several woman - in search of love, but there is always something or the other which draws him apart from them. Finally, he accidentally meets a girl who he had got hard on in his youth even though she was at least a decade younger to him. He meets her when he is in his late 30's and she's just  turned 18 and later marries her. It has been possible only because she's accepted him her life ever since she was small and sticks on to that, she imposes upon him to believe that she has not wanted anyone else in her life and was delighted to see him after so many years.  
Only to finally loose her too, due to rare condition called Hemophilia which results in the death of his hard found love for life, after she leaves behind a baby girl to him.  
The child  is just like her mother, at first boils up anger and irritation inside him and then smiles, which triggers him to somehow instantly cool down and relax, miraculously. 

The book deals with a lot social causes and abuse. The read isn't smooth and easy for every reader to absorb and accept every episode described in the book. It has a very revolting language in many places which describes the lust which perforates in the personality of the hungry animal, Rehaan - In search of love. There is a lot of bold content in the book with a witty edge in many places. Sometimes, the reader is left disgusted at the extent the author has gone in narrating the story. But, at the same time, the cause of such actions is also known and that's what makes the reader move forth in the book and get hooked on. Pure lust is exposed very descriptively in the book in  several varied circumstances. 



Love is even mistaken for lust at times and misunderstood for Sex. There may be a large chunk of men out there and maybe women too who would connect with the story as their real life experiences in many ways. There maybe a large chunk, who would comprise of the illiterate too, who wouldn't know this book even exists and yet may have experienced most or at least one episode in their lives out of all that is shared. This book can raise topics of lot of controversy, debate and social turmoil and that's most needed. Only if issues are addressed can they be resolved. 

Amongst the author's guild, I believe controversy, revulsion and contempt is balanced equally in the popularity scale when it comes to themes exactly opposite to them. It matters not, in the end which side of it you are on as long as you've put in your heart to deeply express those things. 
The harsh realities of life exist, and those who possess the ability to express them in the purest form are talented. I applaud the author with his work, especially considering it is a fiction novel, the amount of depth the author is gone into is commendable. The proof reading of the book is lacking and one can see it had the potential to improve upon the quality of the content manifolds. 



Life is about the choices one makes. If your dream is to achieve love, then your definition of love first should be clear. When ones definition about love is skewed, it never  purges one's soul and drives them in the ocean of sins that only ends with death. The only way out of it is observation of those leading better quality lives but that isn't enough one has to first retrospect and find the golden pearls in their blood through research and study and invest on it. Determination is the key to all the things!!! 


Conclusively,  I congratulate Mr. Ehsaan Nashad for his second book and wish him well with his subsequent publications. The book earns a great deal of sympathy vote and out there it means en cashing big time with the people thirsty for love but scared to explode and expose their true feelings. I'm sure the readers who've liked his first book will definitely pounce on this one blindly out of pure curiosity to discover what the author has unearthed this time. There was a discussion about whether fiction has its bases on reality once ?  Recalling that, I'd like to say here that after reading this book one may firmly believe that fiction is just a figment of imagination and can only vaguely deal with or has no connection whatsoever to do anything  with facts. 

Do pick up and enjoy the book!! 

Cheers All....Feel free to share your thoughts too  ;)

Inch By Inch - The Body Temple

This review will cover a gym meant for an elite class of the society, located in the western suburbs of Mumbai in the heart of the, soon to be, centrally located area called Versova. Incidentally, very few know that this gym in particular is not the first of its kind and ain't a "new thing" in this world (or at least to Mumbai), for it has been doing pretty well in other areas of the city - like Marine Drive, Matunga and Tardeo.





This is the first of its kind in the suburbs though. It got launched a little more than a month ago, where it was initially scheduled for a launch in the last week of November'13. The launch invited many known faces including actors like Gulshan Grover, Arshad Warsi and Ronit Roy.  I felt rather humbled to be given the honor of doing the lighting of the gym by the respected owner, Mr. Sunil Agarwal himself. I was bursting to say, it was primarily my father who did the work.

Gulshan Grover 
Ronit Roy with Mansi

Arshad Warsi with Mr. Sunil Agarwal and Shital 


The gym is a one stop destination for fitness enthusiasts with the best of facilities one could ask for. It has the facility for PT only sessions where every member is appointed a Personal Trainer, but first, all the trainers are monitored, trained and guided with vigilance at all times -  by a Master Trainer Mr. Shane  who I personally believe to be a Fitness magician with a ingrained passion for workouts and gymming. The exercises he designs and gives you are something you may have never come across in your life. That , truly makes you trust his judgement and experience and  that he has truly put in his heart and soul and knows what he is doing.
Then, there are the Functional training group sessions - if PT has been the ultimate workout experience and you believe you have seen everything then let me tell you , you are definitely in for a bundle of surprises that are coming your way. As  they employ the latest techniques most efficient for weight loss known as Kettle Bell Workouts along with some creative inventions of the Master Trainer himself you tend to enjoy the workouts. 
At no point, you will feel like you are dragging yourself to the gym or the workouts are becoming monotonous or boring, because these workouts get changed periodically to keep your motivation and energy levels up. You may have experienced many gyms and trained with many trainers across Mumbai, but once you visit this gym you'll see there is yet more to explore. 
They even have a Spa which provides an assortment of services, I haven't tried any of their Spa services myself but I'm told they are worth a visit. They have a tie-up with a Thai based Spa. 
A Spinning Studio managed and run by Top Spin gears up a session on alternate days.  A detoxifying peppy workout with an electrifying trainer who conducts the show. I was fortunate enough to do a trial  session, after which, I would certainly recommend any and everybody to adjust your schedules and devote an hour full of fun and frolic to your body - be it just for a spinning session. 
Their Group Ex Studio offers a whole variety of sessions including TRX training, Zumba, Kickboxing and Yoga. They even have Tarang from Kolkata who are offering music classes to learn varied kind of instruments. 
A Revive Saloon, operates on the  lower ground level offering a variety of services. I personally found their services for Men very reasonable as compared to the others in the area. Even their Face packs and Facials are worth the money. They give you good value for every service. 
There is also a Swimming Pool, where many novice swimmers come to learn swimming and others simply come to beat the heat. There are a few people like me who just love the water and are ready for a dip anytime. 
That's not the end of it folks, there is more- they have a lounge outside which is open to the public. the outside area excluding the swimming pool section, is where people are welcome to hangout, bring their laptops and work sipping a coffee or tea or else simply just rejuvenate themselves with fun games and books displayed in the racks over there. The assortment of food items are well selected and nutritious. 
On weekends, they even have wine served in the bar made over there. When I say weekend it implies Friday, Saturday , Sunday. 
There's still something left, I almost forgot to mention it - They have steam facilities provided in the shower and changing area of the gym for their members. 
 I feel the Upside of the gym is that : 
1. Their facilities ensure personalized attention. 
2. It is a members only gym, no trial sessions are provided. 
3. You are here for your body not to socialize, they shout out " Focus" 
The Downside is :
Since every member is given a PT, the number of members who are there in the gym are limited. Thus, many people find it a sign of the gym being rated " No Good" , when they see that. They claim that they get the pump to workout out and go to the gym everyday just because of the buzz in the gym with the great crowd which visits everyday. The momentum does not build when they are on their own seeing only one face and that is of their trainer. 
Some people like to " stay with the club " , so if the crowd goes to a gym they join the same gym. Over here, there isn't such a phenomenon. People here come for genuine attention to their body, mind and soul. Not the glamour and glitterati. 
Personally, I find the gym closest to my house and best intact with all possible facilities. I get to meet a few known faces and few others I'm opportune to relate to coming from nearby places. My workouts are optimized, my travel time is saved, my swimming experience is soothing and pleasurable and I am getting everything I need. In fact, none of the gyms around are offering such a vast variety of options to choose from. 
The ambiance and interiors created for the gym is not like any gym I've ever visited.   I've been to the best of gyms in town like True Fitness, We can Work it Out, Leena Mogre, e-Gym, Gold's Gym, Fitness First  and small gyms like Physio Flex, Barbarian and Daljit Gym. None of the gym worked anywhere close to creating a serene soothing setup like this gym, in fact I can safely say - no gym has even worked at the slightest towards this aspect. 
They have truly meant it when they said " Body Temple" creating an ambiance of Thai Temple or a Buddhist temple. It feels very soothing and sets you up when your senses nourish the sight, smell and feel of the place. By the time, you begin your workout you are ready. 
If the Customer Relationship Management of the gym is poor then the gym may have the best of facilities, most qualified trainers, latest high end equipments; but the gym does not last long. At Fitness First specially I'd faced a very indifferent arrogant management who were totally rigid in  their approach to resolve any queries or complains concerning their members. But what made this gym stand out amongst the rest was their Friendly and humble relationship with every member. The management would pay heed to each complain and genuinely put in efforts to resolve them and thus in turn not just satisfy the customer but also improve their overall services offered to rest of their members.

When I met the owner Mrs Shital Nahar, herself, I was surprised to find her closely informed about my progress and workouts. A unique feature I'd not come across any gym before. It meant that the gym was paying attention and reporting every little detail upwards, their communication channels were well set. Where other gyms would've addressed it differently, this was one big plus point. I mean I felt I was given great value and care I expect a gym to give me.

In conclusion, The gym rocks !!!!

Dixit - The Board Game


 Today I'm going to review a board game.

 The game 
was introduced to the world very recently and I got to play it a few months ago.
Basically, its a 3-6player game with a witty edge to it. Those who do not understand what that means will not enjoy this game, and it is recommended strongly for them to stay away ,  to keep the other players in the game buckled up and enthusiastic about playing this game.

The game has 6 mentalists i.e the instruments which represent the player. Each mentalist has a stack of square tokens with 1-6 numbers inscribed on one side and the mentalist logo (also represented by the color of the token) on the other side. Then the most significant are the flash cards which have a very unique collection of images. Lastly a scoreboard , which is either printed on the box or else provided separately.

The Objective of the Game is Simple. Whoever scores and reaches the finish line first, Wins !!!

But How? Now, that's what the game is all about. 


For the rules and all other general information - you can just visit the wiki link. I'm not here for that. 

All I can say is, the game has won a lot of awards and is much loved by those who play it. Now, this game is best enjoyed played with a juggle of players changing every time. It has a good tendency for same group buddies to develop a tagline for each turn they play thus seeding predictability for the adept ears to guess which card has been flipped upside down on the table. and ironically if the competitive spirit is on a high note among such players, even then, it could turn out to be highly interesting.  Alternatively, if the players are crazily imaginative and funny, playing this game with the same group can turn out to be a unique and fulfilling experience. It can keep a joyous environment with an intellectual time springing productivity essentially. 

People have come out with dialogues from films, names of songs and movies, proverbs and idioms, name of famous historic idol, an accident or interesting incident, anything from the newspapers or even actions, expressions are allowed and sometimes stuff which none of the other participants i.e. mentalists really understand  but yet have to decide for themselves and act according to their perceptive organs. 

I have had experiences where I was rolling over with laughter, holding my stomach whilst playing this game where the mentalists were good. I felt I and  they had freed themselves from all shields of personality. On the other hand, I've spent my 30mins hoping against hope that the game just wraps up fast with my hands supporting my head from drooping to sleep. 

There are few ground rules which aren't mentioned in the rules and regulations of the game but if applied, can add spice to your life whilst you devote those precious moments to this game. 

  • Serve some laughing potion to the players, that loosens up the nerves and sprinkles humor in their senses before starting the game. Excess of Citric acid in a drink is known to do the trick. 
  • Be the child in the group, oh! not the cry baby one (jeez!)  I'm talking about the innocent naughty one. Spring surprises like tickling your friend next to you and then turning a poker face as if you didn't do it. 
  • NEVER CONDEMN Anyone or Anything said , during the game. Don't try to explain things or cards more specifically. Expressly make it known to each player/s that they are DEFENSELESS and are here to loose it all, if they have to - " SO NO ONE HELPS ANOTHER PLAYER DURING THE COURSE OF THE GAME, AND CERTAINLY NOT TO EXPLAIN WHAT THE CLUE MEANS."  
  • As a variation, a theme can be given to the clues which'll follow throughout the game. This gives a backbone for the people to not drown in the ocean of possibilities and helps keep the momentum up and steady. 
  • Never break the rules. Lol!! As simple it sounds, it actually holds a significant meaning. Many times we come across players who retort out of insecurities attacking other players, understand and respect their behavior and implore them to grasp those 4 words for the benefit of one and all. 

The beauty of this game is that it can be played anywhere. It is easily the most travel friendly game you'd come across, and otherwise can just tuck in a small corner of your luggage. You can play it at home, in a cave, in the middle of sea while boating,  for erotic group fun, on your terrace or beach house, or in the plane. Its just so accessible and easy that it doesn't require much of space. 





I'd sincerely plead and request you folks, Please! Don't hurt anyone's religious sentiments or drag  issues of caste and creed into this game, by giving out clues that directly attack a player. It doesn't serve anybody well doing that, including the one propagating, promoting and allowing it. This game is for sporty jubilant times, it's best kept that way. 

Its currently NOT available in India but its easily accessible, in the sense, it can be purchased online, thanks to cross border shipments. 

Personally, I love playing this game. It is my way of learning new things from intellectual people, new jokes from friends and overall having a good time!!! 

I would rate this Game : 



And those are my friends  :))))
