We are what we eat!! (not just think...)

Ahmedabad, 16th December 2018: Food has been known not only to impart nutrition, but also develops our mind, body and certain spiritual qualities. The essence of food which has been traditionally developed over years is somewhere getting lost between fad diets, western influence, new age ingredients, cafe culture etc.

Indian tradition and culture has developed over food. Food is one ingredient which is also present in religion, ayurveda, medicine, and social connect too... Food is part of our entire eco-system, it is nature, hence we connect with it the most.

Sattvik is one such initiative to create awareness about the lost traditional cooking methods, regional and seasonal food. Apart from this Sattvik brought in by Srishti Innovations is also a platform where home- makers, villagers and commercial outlets showcase their food-related products, services and serve delicacies too.

Sattvik 2018 will be held at AES grounds, Bodakdev from 22nd December 2018 to 25th December 2018, from 11am till 10 pm.

Some attractions will be an Award winning ‘Shahi Dry Fruit Pak’ by Neeti Bansali andand Leafy almond soup”, which is full of nutrition.

Jyoti and Manisha Jain will put up Ragi dosa varieties. Jyoti Rampariya, who is participating the first time, hails from Dhudkot near Jamnagar brings in entire ensemble...




If you want to try fusion food, there will be “Ratalu Beet tikki”, “Multigrain  Tofu Spinach Roll”, apart from this forget the mocktails made from artificial and synthetic flavours. Hina Shah will be presenting fresh fruit concoctions: “Apple Mint”, “watermelon mint” and “Kiwi Grapes”. 


Forget Paan shots, to freshen up and add zest to yourself, Kalgi Sheth will be putting up a stall of ‘liquid mukhwas’


If you think Drum sticks are difficult to handle and too noisy, then use its leaves to prepare a pancake or ‘Chilla’.

Nisha Mundada of Rajasthan runs a brand “Gau mart”, they deal only in cow milk which has A2 protien. They will be serving winter specials made out of this milk: ‘Ukala doodh’, Basundhi & ‘kadiyal doodh’. Milk is boiled under slow flame in an open iron vessel for hours.. each has various ingredients mixed, spices, nuts or kesar.


Abhi Sukadiya from Khambat has brought in, ‘Rajagda Sukhdi, halwasan, Makai vada etc.’

A real Orange Ice cream presented in the orange itself is another star attraction where Heema Updhyaya hasn’t used any artificial flavours or colours.

Don’t miss ‘Multigrain sukhdi’, a crunchy nutty sweet delight prepared by Mansi Tamaliya.


Sattvik is about overall healthy living, hence apart from just regional food, there will be workshops on kitchen gardening, in order to promote growing food ourselves. Besides, a workshop on composting will create awareness on transforming kitchen waste to organic manure which can be used for your kitchen garden. Greenshala.com carries all information for building a league towards chemical free food and soil.

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...
