My Workline... my HandHeld... My Line

After almost a year of owning this masterpiece, my HTC One M8.. Yes, I call it a masterpiece as it takes care of my daily work related tasks to phonecalls to messages and to my most-favorite.. pictures and SELFIES.. I surely need to share about this friend of mine...
Now How I met my friend (too much inspired by the title of "How I met your mother"), is itself a story. My younger sister and me were together in this mood of changing our phones and for sure not exchanging them with each other. I was all set and had made up my mind for an iPhone, where suddenly my sister started playing with my mind and diverting it towards now-my-dear-friend, my HTC One M8.. After almost a week of discussions, one-sided which were at her end, and too much pros-and-cons discussions (and again one-sided), the verdict was finally laid. And within 2 days it was in my hand.

 This phone made the SELFIE PRINCESS of the GMCS Batch, the official photographer, focus shifting on me and my phone and seeing the price and style, the blue-eyed girl too.

Its performance is silky smooth and unlike my Blackberry 9320 which automatically keeps turning on-and-off on odd intervals, it is absolutely under the control of its battery and always at my service. 

Its camera quality is at par with those of its likes like Apple iPhone 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6 is put to shame.

Too many themes to offer, vibrant colors that you can experience, for me, its more of a She type.

With the great User Interface that it has to offer, its an absolute Value for Money. Superior and Excellent call quality, a great battery life and an ultimate look to offer...

Once this phone, which was not on my list, is today MINE.

And till the time, I find an equally or more trusted friend like this, God Bless Us !!!

Dream With Your Eyes Open

A sunny afternoon it was and I was wishing it should rain. But, God my dear, had no plans or it. At the same time around, a friend of mine striked the bell of my house and and gave a call at the same time, to ensure my presence at my place.

 And the very next question - "Are You Home? Let's catch up ! I'm bored sitting and shuffling between home and office and home-and-office, day in and day out.". And mind you, all this, without a pause...   Aaaahhhhh... A sigh of relief after hearing this start-to-end. And I jumped with an answer YES... Right on the bean bag, I was sitting on, well within the comforts of my home and to get a stunned and surprising, shocking and yes a horrifying look from my elder sister(Who was worried if the bean bag would burst out).

 Did away with the level of permissions before stepping out of my place, in my biggggg world of dreams (my dad and my eldest sister calls them illusions).. But then, I was all set to go.

 Landed up at Connaught Place, and pushed my friend inside Oxford Bookstore.. And that's my kind of a place, that gives me solace and peace.

 Now cutting it rather short, as I anyways love writing and putting down my expressions, i would rather put forward a review of what I read, bought, re-read and yes continue to be inspired by.

DREAM WITH YOUR EYES OPEN


 Entrepreneur, director and philanthropist Ronnie Screwvala has penned a book on entrepreneurship, Dream With Your Eyes Open. His career spanning some 25 years and all his failures, learnings and inspirations are penned well in it. True enough to inspire the reader. 

 The book shares failures and triumphs in simple, comprehensible narrative. It constantly inspires the youth to get inspired, rise above all odds and more importantly to dream and dream big.  This man seems full of  energy, drive, passion and risk-taking ability.

 I certainly would like to quote "Entrepreneurship is a journey, not an outing. You can't make a deal with yourself by saying, 'I'm going to try this out for two years and see'. You have to stay the course. 

 Though non-fiction is a section which has a limited readership, but this book truly stands apart, not just about Ronnie, but also about what an impact it can and it does make on young minds and especially the budding entrepreneurs. One streak that constantly keeps coming over and over again is about is his passion to spark change. A change in all-set bollywood industry, a change in marketing films, a change in the perception and mindset of viewers and ofcourse a change in making the real and the surreal.

 Team work, an open work culture, failure being a part and parcel of the journey and just not the end, planning tip-to-top and embracing a vision which to the others seems unachieveable are some of the strong points of Ronnie Screwvala the man, which constantly keep following you, even after having read it so many times.

 One particular for sure, which every entrepreneur needs to learn from his Entrepreneurial Journey is - If you can talk at Length about your success, You should be equally comfortable talking about your failures, as they are the hurdles which have made you emerge you as a winner.

 Looking forward to reading another one by him ! Looking forward to my next evening at oxford !

 Disney Goes Desi with ANOUK!

 Venue: Club Pangaea, The Ashok Hotel, Chanakaya puri, New Delhi

A splendid collection is what we witnessed and also had a chance to place our hands on !!!
What came soon after was a styling contest for bloggers, where we could in teams, style a model experimenting with our style quotient. I too tried my side of style, rather than just reviewing a clothing range or an accessory or some other girly-gadget as it may be even called, I decided to be on #TheOtherSide of it.

Teamed up with a fellow blogger Rahul Prabhakar, and we quickly picked up something from the new collection. Mind it, it was super tough a job, as all the designs were competing well with each other and it was a difficult job to be done. Rather than, what to select, we had to decide what not to choose.
But, finally we decided to lay our hands on something super trendy and paired it up with a scarf and our Model Minaxi was ready within minutes.
We represented TeamB and made it to #AkiNarula declaring our team as the winners.

"KEVENTERS"

A brand that has a legacy of over a hundred years.

The first milkshake brand to originate from India. 
“Keventers”, a vintage dairy brand dated back to 1925.
​
It is being revived by two Dynamic young entrepreneurs, Aman Arora and Agastya Mihir Dalmia who have a vision to bring this iconic brand into 21st Century Delhi, bridging the gap between the classic and the contemporary along with partner Sohrab Sitaram.

The latest in their bucket list is their new outlet at #SelectCityWalk, Saket.

Its rich, indulgent ice creams, thick creamy shakes,and exotic and familiar flavors that leave me feeling overwhelmed.

Packed in with the rich goodness of fruits and nuts. It’s an all out nostalgia trip which reminds of my times with my friends of stopping down at Keventers outlet at Connaught Place, or Kamla Nagar and even the East Delhi Outlet sometimes.

It now comes with bold fusion flavours as well, as the brand brings some of our favorite goodies into their milkshakes, from oreo to peanut butter and even the erstwhile rose syrup.  It’s classic yet modern, so expect a whole lot of goodness in a bottle (or a cup) to keep you sated. 

Dynamic young entrepreneurs, Aman Arora and Agastya Mihir Dalmiahave a vision to bring this iconic brand into 21st Century Delhi, bridging the gap between the classic and the contemporary. Sohrab Sitaram – another partner in the venture, brings his immense experience on board with the duo in reviving the Capital’s favorite frothy flavors. Mr. Sitaram is one of the most recognized names in the hospitality industry and the man behind the city’s most appreciated venues such as Tabularasa, Chi, Hungry Monkey and the newly opened Zingo Star in Greater Kailash II.


Keventers brings alive the signature flavors that made it a favorite for it’s rich milkshakes, among the young and old alike. Keeping alive the vintage flavor, Keventers brings you classics like the Tutti Frutti and Hawaiian Passion. However, taking a more youthful and vibrant taste into consideration, there is a modern and contemporary palette as well, with Melting Roses Milkshake, Mint Oreo Crumble and Hulk’s Bulk. Fresh fruit toppings, rich dark oreo cookies, a smattering of peanut butter, or the fresh flavors of mint; are just some of the scrumtious flavors waiting for you at Keventers.

The fun at Keventers starts when you enter to order your favorite dose of sweet and slurpy goodness. Keventers serves it’s fabulous shakes and ice creams in a space that brings together the vintage and the modern into a delightful fusion. The outlet designed in a way that recreates the old world charm of the colonial era with elements like vintage phones and typewriters. The vintage tones underly the entire service theme, from quirky glass bottles, which you can carry home and reuse, to disposable containers in a simple pinstripe print. The look and feel revives this classic brand into 21st century Delhi, complete with a brand new avatar.

Give into nostalgia or discover your new favorite- all at Keventers, this season!
