Rules are for anybody but the first family of India with the Oberoi Group. At Wildflower Hall, the luxurious five star hotel which boasts of being only of the two hotels in India where no child below 12 is given reservation policy, the rule was broken to accommodate Robert Vadra, Priyanka Vadra and their two children.

The Vadra’s who recently bought a piece of land at near Charabara are intending to build a hill cottage, the plans for which are being drawn up. Priyanka along with her husband and children arrived yesterday and are said to have discussed the building plans.

Robert left for Chandigarh early in the day to catch up with the cricket match at Mohali while Priyanka left in the afternoon as the family were to catch the evening Shatabdi train back to Delhi.

However what is being questioned is the ‘Child Policy’ which the hotel displays on its website as ‘Wildflower Hall is not suitable for children below 12 years of age. The hotel is located in mountainous terrain which could be unsafe for young children. We, therefore, do not accept reservations for families travelling with children below 12 years.’

The hotel has been pursuing this policy for over a year and anybody with a child seeking a booking at Wildflower Hall, even at a late hour is sent to Hotel Cecil, another Oberoi property in mid town.

When contact, Vikas Sharma, hotel manager Wildflower Hall first denied that the children were allowed to stay at the hotel and only Robert and Priyanka Vadra were permitted but later retracted and said that there was a security cover in the hotel and he is not aware of what the arrangement were.

Scott Adams, creator of Dilbert, reflects on his own career (which includes majoring in economics, picking up an MBA, and working at a bank and a phone company before becoming a world-renowned cartoonist) and gives his thoughts on what it takes to develop a successful career.

If you want an average successful life, it doesn't take much planning. Just stay out of trouble, go to school, and apply for jobs you might like. But if you want something extraordinary, you have two paths:

1. Become the best at one specific thing.
2. Become very good (top 25%) at two or more things.

The first strategy is difficult to the point of near impossibility. Few people will ever play in the NBA or make a platinum album. I don't recommend anyone even try.

The second strategy is fairly easy...

State your desperation for a vacation compellingly in a video of up to 30 seconds and you could win a free week's getaway for you and your family (up to four people) at any Best Western in the USA or Canada, plus a video camera and spending $$$.

Videos should be submitted by June 24 to the Best Western site on YouTube. I watched a very clever one in which the camera is focused on the cluttered desk of a woman named Mary while voices keep informing her of new workaday and personal pestilence -- project due NOW, school nurse called about a sick kid, her dog bit someone. You get the picture.

Starting July 14, top videos will be shown on a Best Western's contest website, where visitors can vote for their favorites. A Best Western panel of judges will then rule. Nine runners-up get a $250 travel card that can be used for lodging and incidentals at Best Westerns worldwide.

So, why do YOU need a vacation?

Ashley Burt (19), of 16 Cheney Crescent, stayed at three hotels - the Milestone at Kensington, the Four Seasons in Park Lane, and the Crowne Plaza at Victoria, City of Westminster magistrates Court heard on Thursday.





He was sentenced to 120 hours community service as part of a year's community order and ordered to pay compensation and costs of £1,117.62 to the hotel victims after admitting three offences of fraud.

On January 29 this year at the Milestone, Burt claimed he worked for the Queen's bank, Coutts, with the intention of getting accommodation, the court was told. Two days later

at the Four Seasons he claimed he was with Rothschild Asset Management.

That same day he checked into the Crowne Plaza, purporting to be an employee of Schroders asset management company.

District Judge Tony Snow told Burt: “You have shown some cunning and skill causing substantial loss to the companies. It's fortunate they had a security operation in place which allowed you to be caught early.”

The judge added that there was “more sophistication” after the initial offence.

He said the offences were committed after Burt left home, came to London and decided “to defraud hotel chains.”

Emma Jones, prosecuting, told the court : “He booked into the Milestone Hotel and stated Coutts & Co would be paying and the hotel was to receive a fax in due course. His credit card was swiped and declined. He was asked for his passport for
security.”

She said he left on 31 January, leaving a £564.35 bill unpaid and then went to the Crown Plaza where he ran up a bill of £482.27.

Ms Jones said that a fax was received at the Crowne Plaza purporting to be from Schroders saying they would 'bear the costs'. However, when their security checked with the company they were told he was not an employee and the police were contacted.

At the Four Seasons, Ms Jones said he stayed there after producing a fax said to be from Rothschild's. However, when Rothschild's was contacted they stated they would not bear the costs of his stay as he was not an employee.

No amount was claimed by them because he was only there a short time.

When interviewed later, Burt, who was previously of good character, said he had sent the fax messages from a laptop computer with the aim of gaining accommodation and admitted he had no intention of paying.
