From the Queen's heart and the bullet darts





Getting off on a hot Sunday in the month of June when the temperatures soar to 45 degree celcius, enthusiastic bloggers and some entrepreneurs under guidance of Anil Mulchandani set off on two extremely off beat experiences. One to a shooting range and the other to a Maratha Royal food sojourn at Madhav Bagh.

1. Misirote farm is run by Sardar Ishwar Singh and Sardarni Gyaneshwari, who also manage Savli Taluka Rifle Association. The farm set amidst a rural backdrop is an eco friendly get away which also imparts residency certificate courses in Rifle shooting. They have high end computer integrated, voice simulated trap shooting range. S. Ishwar Singh has been instrumental in promoting trap shooting in India as a sport.
Misirote is a two hour drive from Ahmedabad, it is located in Parthampura on banks of Mahi river. The place is a good option for day picnics or weekend stays.

2. Madhav Bagh: the Indo British Royal Mansion now has four rooms ready for tourists to experience peace and regal feel. All four palatial rooms are designed in different themes; if not this.. you can experience the cuisine from the Queen's kitchen which cooked under an elaborate process oriented way. Maharani Indrani Gaekwad, who hails from Kolhapur has unique recipes which have trickled down since generations.

A four course Royal meal can be prepared by pre- booking.

What we had: Aam Panna, Soup with Sunti ( a delicacy made of ground meat rolled into balls along with spices), Parsandi, Bharalai Kombadi (stuffed chicken), Chicken Rajvilasi Rasa, Bharlali Wangi (stuffed brinjals in black masala), Dahi Bhindi, Masoor and Kaju Rasa, Narali Bhat, and Shahi tukda.

Along with a culinary sojourn you can meet Maharaja Shivraj Singh to share more stories of the Royal Gharana...

PS: Misriote Farm and Madhav Bagh are Gold Standard home stays certified by Gujarat Government.

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...

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.

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...
