Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

UpperCrust is India's premier magazine. This is specialized in India's food, wine and style magazine.When we launched UpperCrust on January 14, 2000, at the poolside of the beautiful Oberoi hotel, with Marine Drive down below, basking in a golden hue and the glittering Bombay skyline in the background, there was a collective gasp. The upper crust gathered there agreed it was an handsome magazine which would do India proud.
