Matters of Heart.... Regal league - Ranbanka Jodhpur

When it comes to Royal treats, Rajasthan is top of the mind recall for anyone, be it India or abroad. Royal is not only in terms of the old charm “Heritage” what I realised immediately after having breakfast when I spotted a craftsman sitting on the grass on the lawns of Ranbanka Palace in Jodhpur. In old traditional style he showcases the handmade embroidered footwear and leather bags. Shopping is part of being a woman, something probably that completes you before anyone can ;) So I just started checking out footwear. They were one of the best in terms of quality and design…keeping all this aside what touched me most was the regal aspect of the heart. Manohar lal, the craftsman sits on these lawns since last 10 years and doesn't pay a single penny to the owners of Ranbanka… that's what is our cultural heritage, commercials come later. I was urged to immediately pen this down as in new millennium this is one of rarest aspect. Moreover Manoharlal too doesn't
charge a premium from the guests as the range of footwear starts from Rs. 250/-
It's not only the price tag!! Mind it… what's your cultural heritage you are carrying forward in new millennium?

Green Coffee – the new bean... to sweep that sugar clean What’s the wait for.... go green!!

Going green is not only the tag of environmental health but also one for the health freak community, a fad that is growing... unlike a viral that in the era of net is healthy but this green going viral is anti- oxidant!! Last few years, a decade, to be precise ,witnessed  that green tea and various other ‘avtaars’ of these leaves, Chinese in origin,  have captured a big space in market shelves, be it Super markets or just a nearby small ‘kirana’ store. Most recent ‘Green’ tag carrying its own bouquet of benefits in the health conscious era is Green coffee. To focus more on its primary health benefits, lemme begin.... after going through the research papers, I would thrust on the bigger aspect - Diabetes over weight loss benefits.
