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.

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.

Recently the importance of vermilion powder - termed as "Sindoor" was the nomenclature of the army operation conducted in retaliation to the terrorist attacks in Kashmir where caste was primary specification of those targeted. This itself indicates that makeup and grooming have been an essential element of our culture and tradition since time immemorial.
