Directly Indirect!! Quite Indi-genious way..

Past decade, community service, awareness of serving the society and formalising a law of giving 2% of income as compulsory contribution was put in action. April 2014 onwards, it was formally announced under section 135 of companies act that organisations earning over 5 crore profits have to contribute and they get tax benefit too..

Now Ahmedabad gets a restaurant where you will contribute 2% of your bill amount to Visamo kids, with a proof on the bill. Rather than putting your cash contribution in boxes where you aren't sure where the money goes, this is a better approach.

The concept has been introduced by Dr. Shankharupa Damle who used to be completely into social projects.

Another USP of this restaurant is the direct employment given to local chefs of various pockets in India. They have a menu serving cuisine of West Bengal, UP, Maharashtra, MP etc. And the local people who have hands on experience have been roped in to serve authenticity.

Hence it's a two prong empowerment approach.

Located at first floor in Safal Pegasus, Prahladnagar, some of the items of the menu sound like..Radha Vallabha Puri, Kolkata rolls, Mangsho, Ghughni, Egg chops etc.

Though the concept is quite different, approach is unique, thought process is Noble.. the soft launch is done with some hiccups as none of the staff is from hospitality background.

Quite Interesting and Indi Genius!!

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.

"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...

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.

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.
