Chandigarh, Sept 24 : Chandigarh is no longer considered a city for the tired and the retired. Theme parties, discotheques and nightclubs - the glittering nightlife is just a short walk away.The theme party notion is enjoying a boom in Punjab.
The 'Moroccan Fantasy' Night, a novel concept, has been introduced by Canada-based 'The Flick'.
The company plans to cater to two segments primarily - designer weddings and corporate theme parties.
If belly dancers enthrall guests, the waiters are dressed in traditional Moroccan attire, and serve meals in a ceremonial manner.
The company has even managed 200 to 300 weddings in the last two years in Canada. In Punjab, however, it plans to do about 20 to 30 weddings a year.
The company also specialises in theme parties based on the 'Arabian 1001 Nights', the 'African Safari' and the 'Passage to India'.
Shivani Sabikhi, Director (Operations), The Flick, said: We bring a lot of concepts from abroad
"People in Canada want shorter designer weddings, while people here prefer elaborate weddings lasting nearly eight-days. When you are ready to spend, then why can't you spend elaborately and cherish it for the rest of your life," argues Sabikhi.
"The only thing lacking here is the concept. People might have lot of money, but they don't know how to be different. So, that's when "The Flick" comes into picture," said Sabikhi.
The party culture in India is in, seems at least for those having a cosmopolitan outlook on life.
A visit to the `Score', an up market nightclub, serves as an eye opener.
Anupama Bhardwaj, the owner of the night club, says: "We have coupled music, food and sports together. These things de-stress a person. They want to maintain their own privacy, that is the foremost thing. Besides, people are coming for lunch and for takeaway food."
At 40 dollars a couple, the party is yours for the taking in Chandigarh.
