Hospitality is that one buzz word whose mere utterance has the power to topple our Punjabi blood….Oh!!!.Balle!!!!!Balle!!!Balle!!!.Be it our weddings,birthday parties or anniversary celebrations, we all want them to be the best of the events ever for our guests. The Food, the decor and the chivalrous butlers, we will leave no stone unturned. We would rather die (exaggerated…
