The Austrian city’s beauty and food are enough to chase the blues away, even when you’re in crippling pain, writes Vir Sanghvi.

I still remember when I first decided that I would go to Vienna this year. It was the moment that Air India announced its (sadly, not daily) flight to Vienna from Delhi at introductory prices that were, quite frankly, almost ridiculous – though admittedly, all club-class fares from (and within) India are now such a joke that it came as no surprise to discover that you could fly from Delhi to Vienna at only a little more than the Delhi-Bangalore fare and less than half the Delhi-London fare.
