The party's not over

New Delhi, April 22 -- 57 matches, 171 hours of cricket on the field. Off the field: 54 parties, 270 hours of partying and close to 1,29,600 bottles of beer consumed.

The past two months have been one big party as the third season of the Indian Premier League took the country by storm. Models, cricketers and celebrities burnt the floor till 4 am every day. And the ongoing political controversy is not going to stop the party.
An organiser, who asked not to be named, told HT City, "The parties will happen, of course, there has been no problem with the parties." This puts paid to talk that the income tax scrutiny has meant a cancellation of parties, including the much awaited IPL Awards night to be hosted by filmmaker Karan Johar and superstar Shah Rukh Khan.
"What have cricket and the players' achievements on the field got to do with this controversy? We are trying to award the achievements of the players. The Awards ceremony will happen tonight," said Mohomed Morani, of Cineyug, the event organisers. Johar too, at a recent press conference, confirmed the news, saying, "I will be hosting the awards."
As the parties go on, HT City takes a closer look at the number game of the party scene. "There were about 500 people at every party and close to 15 security personnel. On nights when Shah Rukh Khan, Preity Zinta or Shilpa Shetty were in attendance of course, it was much more," says Mehr Rampal, the organiser of the post-IPL fashion parties.
"At the post-IPL fashion show 16 models showcased 32 garments every night," says Nayanika Chatterjee, who choreographed the shows. Accordingly, over 1,728 garments by 58 designers were showcased. According to sources there were close to eight varieties of dishes at each party and over all close 1,29,600 bottles of beer and 27,000 bottles of whiskey were consumed; 9,450 songs played at post match parties 27,000 bottles of whisky consumed, 432 dishes served in the buffet spreads, 1,728 garments displayed at 54 fashion galas 39.7444 kms covered by models on the ramp and 810 security personnel on duty.

Virgin America Has Made it Fun to Fly Again

Whenever Matrix Group flies Creative Director Alex Pineda to the DC area (from San Francisco, where he is based), he asks to fly Virgin America.  Alex says the Virgin flying experience is “superior to other airlines.” Last week, I got to experience why Alex likes Virgin so much.
For my son’s Spring Break, my family spent a week in San Francisco and we flew round trip on Virgin America.  After two flights, I am a total fan, so much so that I told my husband that from now on, whenever possible, we will fly Virgin.
Just what makes the Virgin America user experience so different?
Virgin America doesn’t use different or larger planes.  The airfare was comparable to other airlines when I was booking on Orbitz.  We had to pay $20 to check our bags.  The legroom on the plane wasn’t more than on other planes I’ve flown recently.  The food and alcohol weren’t free.  And I didn’t get a blanket or pillow.
What made Virgin America different was the entertainment and how food and beverage were dispensed.

• The beverage carts only  made one pass through the plane.  But for the rest of the 5+ hour flight, if we wanted food or drink, we used our touch screens to place an order.  If I wanted water, I touched water and a flight attendant came by within minutes with a bottle of water – for free.  When my son wanted cookies, chocolate or a sandwich, I swiped my credit card, and the flight attendant came by with his order.  So for the entire flight, instead of just the couple of times the carts come around, we had access to food and beverages.
• There was Wi-Fi on the plan! For about $8, I could get wi-fi and check e-mail and surf the Web!  Unbelievable!  And each seat had regular AC power so I could keep my laptop plugged in during the whole flight!
• I loved the free Dish Network. No kidding, I caught an NCIS marathon the way to SF and a House marathon on the way back.  Truly decadent!
