Raipur may not be alot of things but what it is, is a place as close to seventh heaven for the young and the restless in our country. What raipur offers is a unique recipe made to live life the way one wants to, whether it is to watch a movie at PVR or to enjoy a coffee with a loved one at CCD or to enjoy a silent walk across the so called ‘Marine Drive’!
