It was a pure coincidence that we visited JW Marriott on Valentine’s Day (2006.02.14).
On 14th I was busy in properties checking, and throughout the day, only fatigue & lousiness, I couldn’t feel a slight romance. Megan (Darling’s sister) enthusiastically invited me to visit her home along with her cutie –Adi in the afternoon. Megan is really an amicable woman. She offered me some snacks and I saw Adi running here and there inside the house. It’s indeed a fun to have kind at home. Sometimes you feel like they are not human beings but animals.


After this wonderful family event, Darling proposed a night stroll in Juhu beach. Around Juhu beach, lots of boutiques & restaurants shined.Darling proposed to have some drinks and snacks. We walked along the street and passed a magnificent mansion. You cannot walk by without paying attentions to this mansion. It was too outstanding, out-dwarfing the neighborhood. Darling said it was JW Marriott, one of the most famous landmarks in Mumbai. “Is it?” I was so curious about this landmark. Why not go inside and check it properly?

A couple of security guards stood in the entrance, checking all entering cars. We walked by them, straightly went inside. Inside was so quiet compared with the crowds outside the wall. The interior was decorated as a western style garden. In the middle of the garden, one elegant fountain caught our eyes. We passed by fountain and walked along the stone stairs to the second floor, the main banquet entrance. Before entering, the security crew checked all guests’ handbags, and everyone had to pass the sensor gate exactly as what we see in the airport.

On Valentine’s Day, a party was on inside JW Marriott. Everyone we saw was so much dressed up; compared with them, our dressings seemed not to show respect to the party. Throughout the night, live bands, champagnes, BBQ seafood, exotic cuisines, along with an extraordinary dessert bar. We felt like we were joining a palace banquet. The most appreciating point of JW was its service. During the party, Darling asked a cup of hot water. To our surprise, the waiter brought us a tea pot of hot water along with 2 well-packed pure honeys. What an amazingly service!!

We left JW nearly midnight time. Whenever I thought of JW, all wonderful scenes of that night came to my mind in no time.
