nThe one holiday I look forward to the entire year is going to Monte Carlo in the summer for the Formula One races. I am quite a racing enthusiast and watching a Formula One event unfold in front of my eyes is an electrifying experience. I just returned from Monte Carlo last month. I had been there last year and would like to go again next year, and the year after that and the one after that as well.

The spirit of Monte Carlo really comes alive during the F1 races. It?s so totally living the high life ? it?s becomes simply the most glamorous place on earth. You watch the races, and you party hard. There are all sorts of people who come from all over the world ? actors, musicians, artists, and of course the F1 drivers themselves. It?s one huge merry-go-round with all-night soirees aboard private yachts where the Beautiful People turn up dressed to kill and the atmosphere is simply electrifying.

I spent four nights in Monte Carlo this season, and I had gone with this big group of friends from Bangalore, Bombay and London. We managed to have a rocking time. That?s not to say I don?t like quiet holidays. Some of my favourite memories from childhood are of the holidays we used to take in Gulmarg. Every summer, we?d pack our bags and go there for a month. It?s so unfortunate that one can?t do that anymore.
