Friday, the 7th was a much awaited date in the May episode of the calendar. Many had circled the date in rambunctious red. And why wouldn’t they? Smirnoff Experience Party was back in town at the Grand, Intercontinental Hotel, New Delhi. That should have been said with an exclamation mark rather than a full stop.
