If i go down and have breakfast and then everybody is coming to meet you and saw what was happening and bad i feel your 1st me should be absolutely.

Maybe minute father transform the palace into a hotel 15 years ago and trusting its management to his oldest son everyone you studied management and some of the countrys biggest talent so tells hes very demanding. I usually change my rooms whenever i come here stay in a different room every time i come i believe. There are a lot of advantages to it when people come to see them as they should feel they should live those 2 days of their life how i live. So thats the reason if you see the palace everyone was absolutely different and showcases my life and my style and my passion for whatever i do. The palace hotel offers a vacation fit for a maharajah. But maintaining the 17th century palace costs a fortune especially since its owner wants only the best. This is the main that about all of the palace and this is where people used to come and meet my grandfather and you see all of them out there in paintings. Reviews in about 14000 pieces of gold leaf 2 and i ran away at this whom back to its glory and it took me about a year to finish this job.

Say say oh you should do a festival there are. 3000. 00 music fans will be descending on the palace for the festival most of them young hipsters from the capital tickets cost more than 100. 00 euros by local standards a hefty price for entertainment. 710 this or. Any other palace right there. The festivals reputation extends beyond indias borders for this 3rd edition some 40 deejays answer the princes call center of arrived from all over the world these 2 experimental musicians are from luxembourg. The festival is just Getting Started we come across some french people in the crowd dazzled by abbey monuments hospitality. If you could you know the prince before. You know not at all thats the prince im thrilled so he owns the space its magical its a base the decoration and then theres the desert all around its magnificent. It looks like. The princes aim is to get people talking about these are today his go on has been achieved music gives me and i basically what its being about. After all caesar is getting probably had obviously comes along but the village is where it gets to be so get off. The musically inclined prince has another project in the works he wants to start a festival of traditional music in another of his familys palaces. In the early 20th century in news princes were among the wealthiest people in the world today some of their descendants affluence has been eclipsed by the selfmade fortunes of individuals who started with nothing. In this village a 10 hour drive from mumbai most people live from the land trapped in endemic poverty. But its the starting point of a real life ranks to riches story. Carpenter was born here today shes the c. E. O. Of a multimillion dollar Metal Engineering company her father was a Police Officer and her family owned no land this is the home. Made us the money if this is a house that was born in. Us you got it you see are good that we kept it as it is use me i want to be able to remember where i came from a young to remind me of my progress from the earth to today my mother. Returned to the village may draw a crowd but has a low caste a doll it can find also drawn she grew up here facing poverty discrimination and. You dont know this that you see was the dividing line of the village you those who lived on that side were people from superior castes just werent aware of it and on this side with the lower castes the untouchables. In india dilutes or at the bottom of the caste system known as untouchables and considered impure their i shunned community often forced to earn their living with unpleasant and dangerous work. And my grandfather used to go and work for people of higher castes im going to do a little we would follow him. But we never entered the homes of these people we were left outside and it well defined area so i did not know that we were forbidden from touching their food and when we with this tea they gave us glasses that only we used that as. A gesture. Really. Regularly returns to her religion to organize Charity Events this morning shes inaugurating a temporary medical facility that offers free i checkups and classes. That are close. How are you my right eye is weak these classes should help. This is that goes. Republic of us and the disability that they did it is a 2 hour walk to reach the nearest hospital so villagers are grateful for such medical assistance. And a couple good evening ive seen publicly tostado so i know very well the problems that these people face to me by his service soon as i have free time i do what i consider a deity but i try to help them to help my community be orchestrated by examinations Health Checks and blood tests content i was provided a range of services for the villagers. Lunch is served in a tent put up for the occasion theres a festival there in the village whenever a crowd by now returns home she helps serve the meals herself. So rogers story is one of a young girl who beat the odds married off at the age of 12 she moved to a slum where she was abused by her husband and his family her father rescued her but when she returned to her village she was ostracized by the stigma of divorce on. The younger but maybe you know people couldnt understand that i was back still now they find it hard to understand that it woman is separated from her husband. They were remiss at the time they shunned me that was when i tried to commit suicide bus while doing poison. Was just going to 7. 00 to that i changed i was determined to prove that i was worth something it was the beginning of my fight the beginning of my journey. Back. And said i am not how my dad is there are right now has asked. Me. To do both. At the age of 16 carbonara returned to mom buying to try to earn a living with the skills she learned as a seamstress she found a job in a garment factory then worked as a tailor with a government loan she opened her own business and then began investing in real estate she bought a piece of land in the north of the city which she resold at a premium price taking advantage of soaring property prices. 2 will again that was when i invested everything i had me a woman and i touchable as well it was historic because my whole life the rest of society has treated people from my cust like slaves. Of course i had to fight but im happy because ive kind of managed to make history hasi go. The. Carpenter has courage and determination to help drover come prejudice and exclusion but shes never forgotten where she came from. Even as a successful real estate entrepreneur and the head of a Profitable Company compound on prefers modesty to an ostentatious show of wealth she pursues her business interests from this unassuming office in downtown mumbai. Even with what i think for now the idea is to develop a hotel with 105. 00 rooms but it wont be 5 stones the rooms are too small for it to be a lecture its palace in order to stop work we need to put 4500000 euros on the table and heres a look at that a look at. Catherine our works with her daughter seema a graduate of a London University the 30 year old is following in her mothers footsteps so who can you feel like a big on the on the outside will be exposed dont think of to be part of business there goes well in addition to a Business Center we want to launch a startup cafe people will be able to share ideas while having a child coffee do you. See mr rogers developing this building in central mumbai part of her mothers real estate empire the property is worth the equivalent of 120000000 euros. I think you have a plus point in that ill believe that this is. The station that say we have to the other own so i think its amazing i think people love to sit here and you know enjoy the evenings seamers career path was smoothed by her mothers success but she appreciates the sacrifices her mother had to make to get where she is today. I think youve never heard me and my brothers in that way before what this ship. What is she going through shell eventually want us to have be happy nothing much will never. Work all she had space to achieve this today has been no people like you men take that it does feel from what intel you became with that oh different than to force a book which. Despite the multimillion dollar projects that they manage the family has not locked itself away in an ivory tower rather than a grand apartment in an upmarket neighborhood the family lives in this building in a northern by suburb. So rogers humble origins make her an exception among the indian nouveau riche. And her fortune cant match the assets of the countrys high flying billionaires who love nothing more than a bit of fun in the sun.
