The World is my Playground

Some paradoxical statements he brings forward upfront... no inhibitions:           College dropout but has taken many lectures in colleges           Thinks that God is a bomb, cause more killings happen in his name... being con man is better           He feels more secure with 3 daughters, the rest of world with sons           Declined a lifetime achievement award whereas the stars seek that for validation           There is safety in herd, when you stand out you are vulnerable           We are used to fairy tales but life is like a mirage where we are running for an oasis           Connectivity has outgrown with launch of mobile but we all have become isolated.           A man who keeps ‘Roza’ for his mother but doesn’t believe in God        ‘Parveen Babi’ a woman who became schizophrenic one of his greatest strength -   Some reality bites and tete-a-tete with Mahesh Bhatt, a man who speaks his heart out shared some of his experiences with ladies of FICCI

Big corporate houses begin from the soil of Gujarat.. A hard core test market. "If you can thrive here, you can survive anywhere.. is the mantra". Many Corporate houses have started their new models from here, be it the Star Bazar of Tata Group, Reliance Mart and various such.. These are the latest developments but history has shown that when there is grit and determination for a good intended purpose, success is bound to happen. Fraternities have been made for success of not one model but many, be it Lijjat papad growing leaps and boinds or Amul becoming the taste of India. On similar lines, today a foundation stone has been laid for a Fraternity made of stars for new stars to ROCK, Gujarat Film Fraternity or GFF wears a tag line... From I to WE. Gujarat film Industry finally spreads its wings to soar in the skies of entertainment industry. It was said that this industry will soon choke and cease to exist but various initiatives in last decade have added to it's re

Philosophy is one favorite subject and traveling is something I love... Exploring architecture and nature are my primary interests. Sunday a sudden plan to Mount Abu and then Nikita, my host in Abu asks if I am keen for Kumbalgarh in Rajasthan, a place famous for its fort. How could I have resisted when I was getting a great company too.. Finally with her bro Angad we drove down on 13th June 17. Ramada Resort we got booked, a great place to stay in. One of New properties in the region, beautifully landscaped, the pool was a priority for us so soon after checking in we just took a plunge. Kumbalgarh fort... Was what we took off for thereafter. Main attraction of this place out  of the rest of the forts in Rajasthan is it's wall and the temples dotted across in the area. The wall is 36km long which makes it the second longest wall after The Great Wall of China. The place has 360 temples.. which takes you back to the Rajput era and the significance they gave to deities. The

"पहले पंगत फिर संगत".. These lines are strongly etched in Gurbani, which means when a pilgrim arrives in a Gurudwara (house of guru, our eternal guide), the person must eat first, eat in a place where no one asks you about your religion, background or doesn't count on how much you eat... Countless, infinite अटूट is the word which flows in langar halls of gurudwaras. Similar scenario today can be witnessed at Riverfront near NID at Ahmedabad where thousands of men have been deployed to do langar sewa i. e. Cooking and serving food for the house of Guru. 75 cooks or 'langari' from Punjab have come with 200 sewadars and 1000 'sewadars' volunteers from various other places to offer service in countless moving or swapping numbers. Countless is the continuous term that is witnessed at places that have Guru Kripa and this day of 11th June 2017 at Ahmedabad is dedicated to celebrate 350th bith year of Guru Gobind Singh Ji.. The eternal name. Impeccable, inf

Meeting designers with their exclusive works in exhibitions is a new trend picking up in India. The Grand Bhagwati hosted one of such exhibition under the brand "Hi Life"... Truly synonymous, the place is full of designers from across India showcasing not only fashion or bridal couture but home decor and jewelry as well. One of the stalls which captured my attention was MSa interiors. They are into manufacturing home decor since last 20 years, until exhibiting this way opened new frontiers. Sukriti Agarwal from Delhi mentioned that they got into retailing only since last 3 years. Exhibitions of this class help their geographical reach and also help them penetrate in their target segments. Their specialty is glass work mosaic... Bolly wood theme trays were the top of the pop. Images of Meena Kumari, Maharaja Ranjit Singh made them look yet more regal.... With These stunning pieces I was stunned to know that this is one of the most sought for themes amidst the elite homes.

He is eternal, various homes, lives, sanctums begin and finish the day with his name.. but at times to let masses know, celebrations at a grand scale are a must. On similar lines, this year Patna Sahib in India had a mega scale events, celebrating 350 th birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singhji. Following the suit, other states in India too have organised events, all under the guidance of Honourable Prime Minister Sh. Narendra Modi. Gujarat too will be hosting the festivities on 11 th June 2017 at NID Grounds, River front, Ahmedabad. This will be the largest ever gala event in Gujarat dedicated to Shahe Shahanshah - Guru Gobind Singhji... all done in collaboration with Sikh, Vanzara and Sindhi Community where devotees and enthusiasts from across the state and country will be travelling. The event will witness presence of more than 50,000 people. Government of Gujarat under the guidance of Sh Vijay Rupani  has provided  full support from all aspects, be it logistics, sp

4s2d.. As the heading goes is the overall extract taken from this Art Show. Ashok Adepal a famous Cartoonist of Gujarat currently working with Bhaskar group showcased 100 cartoon images made digitally but given a perfect look l.. that of paintings. He has been working on the selfie theme since past one year... He has chosen himself to be the caricature, capturing the growing selfie craze which is picking up like wildfire, lot of retrospection and introspection.. Self reflective image of today's scenario on various fronts of society and systems. On national level RK Lakshman is top of the mind recall... Following this great league, names like Ashok are making a strong visible footprint in their journey. Just like the front page cartoons on newspaper on one small corner talk aloud about current political scenario ot latest news in the news room and speak a lot. On similar note Ashok has very well captured a 360 degree purview of the current state which is full of duality and hyp
