Roaming Stars: An Evening of Unforgettable Journeys, Art, and Adventure
Media net Works along with Le Meridien New Delhi hosted Roaming Stars, a spectacular event bringing together a vibrant mix of adventurers, storytellers and travel enthusiasts. The event was held in association with Travel Secrets.
At the heart of the event were five remarkable speakers whose travel tales transported the audience across continents and cultures. Legendary journalist and author Sathya Saran held the room spellbound with her masterful storytelling, weaving together vivid experiences from her journey-filled career. Joining her on stage were biker Gokul Pillai, cyclist Gareema Shankar and mountaineers Rajesh Raghuvanshi and Saachi Dhillon, who shared gripping accounts of daring expeditions, breathtaking landscapes, and moments of profound self-discovery.
“From the dynamic speakers to the interactive challenges, we wanted to create an evening that celebrates the magic of travel and leaves a lasting impression,” said Sudesh Chawla, founder of Media net Works. I’m thrilled to see that vision come to life so beautifully.”
Adding a nostalgic touch to the evening was Kagaz ke Phool, a virtual museum of rare lithographs, vintage prints, calendars, and posters, curated by collector Tarun Thakral, Chief Executive Officer, CJ International Hotels Ltd., Le Meridien New Delhi. Guests were enthralled by the collection’s rich visual storytelling, which captured the romance and artistry of a bygone era.
“Kagaz ke Phool is my tribute to the forgotten visual treasures of India’s past,” shared Thakral. “Watching people connect with these rare artworks tonight reaffirms my mission to preserve and share this legacy with future generations.”
Adding to the artistic flair, Le Meridien New Delhi invited guests to experience the hotel’s art trail, which extends right up to the 19th floor and features celebrated works, offering a captivating glimpse into the world of contemporary creativity.
The evening also featured a playful Mystery Suitcase Challenge, adding a dash of excitement. Two lucky guests walked away with an exclusive dinner for two at Xo & Mi, Le Meridien New Delhi’s swanky 20th-floor restaurant, where they will enjoy Southeast Asian cuisine alongside breathtaking views of the city skyline.
As the night unfolded, the rhythm took over with salsa dancing and a mini bachata workshop led by Ravi Rastogi of Moving Souls, transforming the evening into a vibrant celebration of culture and connection.
“Roaming Stars encapsulates what Travel Secrets stands for — celebrating the road less travelled and the magic of authentic experiences,” said Shubhra Krishan, Editor of Travel Secrets.
