Shake a leg with this Mover..

Trends changing and so are our eating patterns.. grabbing a bite or a wholesome shakemeal is the NEW!! Moving on ahead from just ice cream shakes to healthy versions clubbed with fruits, dry fruits or muesli to make it more of tummy filler is the new version.

We have moved even a step ahead from mocktails and freak shakes. Hence, if you are calorie conscious and still wanna freak out.. these Shakespeares are there, to load your mouth with notes and tales...

 Our city Ahmedabad, the ice-cream capital is now witnessing the upcoming outlets of “only shakes”. Though having dairy content in it, most of these shakes aren’t made of ice-creams. This is what the emerging chains claim, as ice-creams aren’t in the list of those who are diet conscious, which creates a niche for this league.
One such is The Shake Maker where I tried Fruit Mania with nuts at 1 pm in the afternoon, which was my lunch, and till 5pm didn't feel the need of having anything else. It's LOADED with fruits and nuts. Absolutely healthy and a great filler dose especially when on move... The Shake Maker in Ahmedabad has several outlets. There are several options as per personal liking; a range of chocolate shakes, meal shakes which has cornflakes, nutty or fruity...Choice is yours!!
Similar is another outlet – The Drunken Monkey.. sounds amazing, this is a DRAIRY, not a Brewery. Here again, they prepare over 170 types of smoothies,  an amazing spread of concoctions. Most of them have a combination of fruits which compliment each other and enhance the overall experience of having a shake. Hence you aren’t just restricted to one simple flavour. Further, they have categorised their drinks and then listed down the variety in each segment. High on nutrition, great experience, guilt free!! (however just few of them are made with ice cream also)
Happy Diwali on the bottle!!
Keventers, Indias iconic milkshake brand too is now available across Ahmedabad. The Indian origin brand travels down almost a century now, carries a tagline, “the original milkshake” * but made with loads of ice cream!! They are aggressively expanding their reach and are known for their signature bottles which can be later used instead of plastic.

Dr. Bubbles too is present in Ahmedabad, but known more for the liquids, tea and coffee which comes in form of small gel like balls or pearls which are manufactured through a unique technique. Dr. Bubbles too serves a variety of milkshakes and yogurt shakes; they too are spread nationwide with an outlet in Bodakdev, Ahmedabad.

Ice & shakes is another stand-alone brand located at Bodakdev dedicated to shakes and desserts.

Santushti and Dannys are old names well known in the city, ventured out as a shake only outlet now serve snacks too, they have their own legacy and are widespread across the city.

Hence, new trend, filler in the food & beverage industry is the shake!!

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...

Sands to Skyscrapers: Dubai’s Architectural Marvels

A New Dawn in the Desert By: Kulveen Narula “The future belongs to those who can imagine it, design it, and execute it. It isn't something  you await, but rather create.” — H. H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum A t the turn of the millennium, while the world was celebrating the arrival of Y2K , a quiet revolution had begun brewing in the Middle East. The United Arab Emirates, particularly Dubai , was preparing to reimagine itself—not just as a city but as a symbol of human possibility. From a land once known only for its sands and souks, rose a futuristic skyline that rivals the best on Earth. In just 25 years , Dubai evolved into a global epicentre of design, engineering, and luxury—where the homo sapiens are actually living on Cloud 9, giving us a strong dream etched on sand, which didn't disappear overnight but amplified year on year imparting a twinkle in the eye of millions in the world to light up a dream.  The Visionary Behind the Rise The transformation is no...
