Matters of Heart.... Regal league - Ranbanka Jodhpur

When it comes to Royal treats, Rajasthan is top of the mind recall for anyone, be it India or abroad. Royal is not only in terms of the old charm “Heritage” what I realised immediately after having breakfast when I spotted a craftsman sitting on the grass on the lawns of Ranbanka Palace in Jodhpur. In old traditional style he showcases the handmade embroidered footwear and leather bags. Shopping is part of being a woman, something probably that completes you before anyone can ;) So I just started checking out footwear. They were one of the best in terms of quality and design…keeping all this aside what touched me most was the regal aspect of the heart. Manohar lal, the craftsman sits on these lawns since last 10 years and doesn't pay a single penny to the owners of Ranbanka… that's what is our cultural heritage, commercials come later. I was urged to immediately pen this down as in new millennium this is one of rarest aspect. Moreover Manoharlal too doesn't
charge a premium from the guests as the range of footwear starts from Rs. 250/-
It's not only the price tag!! Mind it… what's your cultural heritage you are carrying forward in new millennium?

Dubai - The Greener Pastures

Its not just Oil and Gold, a New world economy, booming and buzzing, attracting all global markets to buy home, setup business and live in a place which is now the new Centre of attraction, to setup Global Headquarters. The Millenial tower - Burj Al Arab  Indians have forgotten Canada and US (seems so..) especially after the setting up new Trump norms... so where do all heads turn and why? 1. Distance : Travel time from Delhi to Dubai is 3.5 hours and if we talk about Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala and Maharashtra they are geographically more towards the west, therefore the travel time to The Emirates is even lesser than any other Indian town on the extreme corner. Therefore, Dubai travel is cost effective and easily accessible. 2. Visa : Relaxed norms with consultants from both countries growing in numbers to assist Indians settle in Dubai, both for entrepreneurs and job seekers. 3. Population : Potential of any economy to thrive lies in its people, Population thus holds biggest Poten...

"Wife or a Whore?" Or Dust under her feet!

Lets change the narrative.. the perspective and positioning !! Well, this is one statement which after a certain age applies to women.. pls note the word "AGE"!! This was mentioned in a book reading session by Sharbari Zohra Ahmed, in her Debut Novel,   "Dust under her feet!" The  Quantico  scriptwriter moves from an International thriller, expressing a high voltage drama series for Hollywood and now back into the 1940s, where her story revolves around Yasmine Khan, the protagonist. Sharbari expresses that it was probably Yasmine Khan, the focal point chose her, cause while writing the fiction,  she could clearly go back into times and see the visuals of the yesteryears when World War II had set in.. There is a lot which Sharbari has contributed into this novel, above her body mind and soul.. fifteen years have gone into crafting the epic! What beyond? The Author has actually gone to the libraries of Kolkata, dug out their archival section, newspapers, magazines, hu...
