ShivShilpy 25th Anniversary Celebrations!





On the eve of Shiv and Shilpy’s 25th wedding anniversary, we decided to make it a truly memorable celebration by taking the family on a trip to Barcelona. 



Final touches to the planned dinner at the breakfast table.


One of the highlights of our trip was experiencing an authentic flamenco show.  This was brain child of Shilpy with pro-active support of Gurpal designed this program.

It wasn’t just us; we extended the invitation to our wider family as well, and I was thrilled when Harvinder’s younger brother Baggi  and his two sons, Gurpal and Tarunpal, agreed to join us.




Barcelona’s vibrant cultural diversity was the perfect backdrop for such a special occasion. 



Golden Entry


As we immersed ourselves in the pure art of flamenco at the breathtaking Palau Dalmases, a beautifully restored 17th-century palace.




The palace itself was a masterpiece—its modern, sophisticated touches blended seamlessly with the charm of its original architecture, creating an unforgettable ambiance.




The city’s rich history and blend of Catalan, Andalusian, and Gypsy influences made every moment feel magical. 




To add to the sensory delight, we started with a dinner. Sitting together as a family, we savored Spanish staples like paella and tapas before soaking in the electrifying flamenco rhythms after the great dinner. 



Now was the turn to head to Tablau theater started in 1970 to witness the live performance after sumptuous dinner.




ShivShilpy were rightly seated at a VIP seats.



The venue itself was exceptional—the  historic tablaos that carried an old-world charm, with intimate spaces that made the experience feel personal and unique.



Witnessing such a powerful performance in such an elegant setting was truly a highlight of our trip, leaving us awestruck and deeply moved

The performance was nothing short of magical. For an hour, world-class dancers, guitarists, and singers transported us to a world of passion and artistry.

These performances, with their fiery energy and intricate artistry, left us spellbound.

It was an experience that tantalized all our senses—sight, sound, and food taste coming together in perfect harmony.





Looking back, I feel so grateful for the joy of celebrating such a milestone with not just Shiv and Shilpy, but also with family who joined us. Barcelona gave us memories that we will cherish forever. 





Thank you all for being a part of this celebration through your kind thoughts and blessings.
