A 360 degree approach, sweet spicy and the lady.... a short trip on a Sunday Afternoon

Place: Saveur 360 at Venus Atlantis Pralhad Nagar, Ahmedabad

Gawliori Biryani – a Vegetarian delicacy cooked with succulent soya chunks.

I savoured their unique culinary delight – Gwaliori Biryani. The owners hail from Gwalior so does the recipe, therefore different. This is made of Soya chunks cooked with rich Indian gravy and fresh spices, then layered with rice in a ‘handi’ which is then put in oven to let the aroma of spices infuse with rice, finally topped with fried onions and dryfruits and served with Raita.

White Chocolate Cake with hot and cold sizzle.. ie chocolate Ice-cream on top and chocolate sauce spread all over, over a sizzling plate. This is a unique combination of both white and dark chocolate; not like those regular sizzling choco brownies. The icing on this sweet delight Savoir 360* is that the white chocolate cake is home-made and a specialty of Rigvetida’s own oven.

Rigvedita Mahurkar is a young entrepreneur, having a strong zeal and commitment level, she started her career at the age of 18 when she began helping her dad who had been a partner in a restaurant. Now the young lady owns and runs two restaurants with a team of more than 30 people. She is also into catering business. Rigvedita preferred this career over journalism or being psycho-analyst. A literature graduate, she opted for an expert course with IHM. The theoretical journey with a practical know-how and financial backing from her parents has helped her establish and successfully run Savour 360 . With a clear vision she finds owning a restaurant as both satisfying and a challenging. Very few people at this age carry so much of experience. Today she has the ability to handle Savour 360 degrees, another restaurant and her catering business confidently and successfully. Apart from the regular challenges, she mentions that staff has lot of hiccups accepting a young woman as a boss. A 360 salute to this rocking lady boss.

Upcycle Concrete

Upcycle is an interesting "GREEN" practice nowadays followed by many!! For goods and commodities its good, but in the era of shifting sands, preferences, fast evolutionary changes, the need and demand for more excitement the malls, unlike old markets, have a very short life span. A decade is quite long, then they slowly organically fade out. Ahmedabad, unlike the metros is quick silver. The life span of malls is shorter than those in metros.. few which have swept off infront of our eyes in two decades are; Gulmohar, Fun Republic, Gallops etc. Gallops though with best brands, infrastructure couldn't survive the cost concious market. Two days ago I happened to step into Iscon mega Mall, Mega like the word suggests, its gigantic. Reliance hyper market was inaugurated on 15th August 2006 by Sh Mukesh Ambani, it was his big bang entry into retail segment. In this mega structure, today hardly 10% area is functional, rest is all unused. If Westside and Reliance are functional...

Parallel Worlds - Perspectives from Gwalior

India is a land of Gold mine for Archeologists and architects.. any region we travel, there are ballads and narratives found in every corner of the country. After various emperors who travelled and did their territory demarcation.. today the politically divided States as per the Sovereign Social Republic clearly reflect the culture and Unity in Diversity in various aspects, be it culture, space, region, food or architecture.

Mughal, Marathas, Rajputs, Sikhs, Britishers etc. Apart from this, there is a lot of correlation found in the architecture of structures found in other states which have been built in other eras. Twin temples with elephant carvings as base Sas Bahu Temple Gwalior (vishnu temple) Sun Temple Modhera in Gujarat and Sas Bahu (as ...
