Color me Red

Florists stock up on red roses and bakeries display their freshest cakes, cookies and chocolates. All over, Mumbai restaurants set the mood for cozy candle light dinners.  However cliche as it might sound, love is in the air.

If you wake up in Mumbai on Valentine's Day expect to see big bunches of flowers and boxes of chocolates along with cute cards and big red hearts being delivered to every house on the street.

Here are a few tips on how to make the best of Valentine's Day in a city happy to shower you with love. Mumbai can be a great place to celebrate Valentine's Day with your better half or even a group of friends. You can spend a day shopping at High Street Phoenix or any of the many malls that have sprung up all over this lovely city. If you're in the mood for a bargain do some street shopping at Colaba or Bandra.

After all that shopping, head straight for a romantic meal.  Whether you're in the mood for Italian, French or Chinese (khanna) food, Mumbai will satisfy all of your romantic cravings. End the day with a romantic walk on Aksa Beach or Bandstand and you can watch the sun go down while sipping on some refreshing coconut water. A perfect way to end a romantic day.

If you don't have time to go shopping, help is just a click away. The Octavia Bracelet or Lili Rings are the perfect gift for any gal.
