Remember watching ‘The Notebook’ and thinking how people find such peaceful and romantic spots to go for a walk? Here, in the city, we can’t have 10 minutes without the noise of the traffic drowning our voices and making it an awkward date of saying “Kyaaaaa?” the whole time! Even when with friends or family, we sometimes need a place that will let us be under the open skies and talk out loud, sans digital means. So your search for a spot that will enable you to go on morning walks with your parents to evening walks with a sweetheart they don’t know about, surely ends at Lucknow’s Marine Drive.
