Omni Lounge open in Darjeeling



The Omni Lounge is finally open in Darjeeling! Saturday the 17th of March was the first day and what a crowd there was. Around 150 people jostling for space and trying to get their food and drinks ordered. All the young and hip were there trying to take in the new Lounge and its offerings. Thanks guys for showing up and making the place happen!

We have been getting a steady flow of people who enjoy lounging and enjoying good music. The food is good with mostly Chinese fare on offer. Suraj has been making great cocktails while I try my best to write the KOTs and the BOTs. Although getting home is still a problem with the place closing at 11 pm at night. I hate the long walk back in the dark. Same for Suraj.

We organised the first private party yesterday evening at our lounge! CHAI Project's donors from Starbucks USA were in town and they wanted to have a party before they left Darjeeling. Was good to see the CHAI and DEG guys enjoying the new place and savouring the Chinese delicacies provided by our Chef Nima. Suraj was busy concocting mocktail and enthralling the ladies with his skills! I was more into PR and serving the drinks and controlling the CHAI Project guys from going overboard with their drinks. There's another birthday bash lined up for this Friday. So more sloshed guys and late nights...

Trying to persuade Ozzman to do his acoustic numbers along with the Notorious Jack (JK) and Jigme (Cadenza).

Watch our for more news!!!Call me or Suraj at 9434209887 / 9733004886

Happy Lounging
