Exhibition at Gallery Le Sutra
Artist Vipul Prajapati is presenting an art exhibition, called Landscapes People and Coherence, that you’re going to want to head down for. The exhibition is based on industrial landscapes.

Shraddha Purnaye, the gallery manager, tells us, “Vipul’s artwork is an effort for creating an iconography for a dockyard landscapes that are growing in the womb of urbanisation and industrialisation. His paintings are a kaleidoscopic view into realism and reconciliation of multiplicity lives of proletariat in dock fields. In the foreground of the dockyard landscapes recurring is the imagery of the construction workers in the universal gesture of solidarity and brotherhood.”

Networking After Hours at Tote’s
Deepti Dadlani, brand head at deGustibus Hospitality, tells us, “Networking Hours at the Tote Bar is a great opportunity for yuppies across the city to kick back after work and unwind with friends over a couple of drinks.

We are offering them one drink free with every order, as well as offering the right mix of privacy and fun at the same time. We found that most places use terms such as Happy Hours which get done by 8pm and people have to hurry up with their drink orders to be able to avail the offer. And so, to ensure a relaxed atmosphere, we have kept our timings from 6pm to 10pm, including Saturdays.” Head to Tote to enjoy your favourite cocktails and double the fun!
