The Magic Begins ….

Are You A Money Magnet? How Do You React To Adversities? Do You Feel Some People Are Luckier Than You? Some of us believe that our fates are written in our stars—predestined and unchangeable. But it is possible to take charge of our own lives. For years, experts have been talking about the power of the human mind—helping us realize the boundless energy that lies untapped, until we set it free. This is what first time author Deepa Rajani’s debut book, ‘The Magic In You – Awaken Your Soul’, is all about!

“You only have to believe! This book will not have all the answers to your problems, nor is it a guide to lead you to some “promised land”. But it will awaken the unlimited power within you, a resource you can access anytime. With this power, you can shape your future. Within these pages you will learn to craft your own success story with the help of anecdotes from the author’s own life and those around her, and also to navigate difficult situations with ease. This is a book to remind you of something very important: The Magic in You!”, smiles the mother of 2 teens and functional medicine health coach, who recently released her book (on January 28,2021).

Backed by Jaico Books, who have published authors like Robin Sharma, Paul Dupuis, Ryuho Okawa, Radhakrishnan Pillai and Om Swami over the years, this book is pitched as a book to aid the journey of self-discovery and creating one’s own destiny.

“We all have this hidden power within us which, when I learnt to use, I realised I can create miracles, i could heal myself and also make my dreams a reality. This hidden power lies latent within all of us, until we can learn to use it. We go through life learning so many things like maths, science, history, geography, but we are never taught the most important things like – How to truly live this life? Well … my acronym for L.I.F.E. is Live It Fully Empowered”, smiles Deepa.

She shares how she learnt and experienced how one has the power to change everything that happens in one’s life, by simply connecting to this power within them and making the higher consciousness a partner. “I am now able to work on making all my dreams a reality”, she says.

The thought that she should share this magic with the world, inspired her to pen the book..  “I want to help as many souls as possible to discover The Magic within them. I want them to understand that this Creator, who created us, is always by our side guiding us and showing the way, it is we who have to learn to listen”, adds Deepa.

Miracles and synchronicities become a part of your daily life when you learn to see the signs, read the messages and begin to see that God is always answering you through them.

“When I learnt that we truly are divine, limitless beings, made up of energy, with the gift of freewill to create our own reality – through our thoughts, deeds and actions -it was like an awakening, like a bulb lighting up inside me.. And thats when the magic began…”, beams Deepa.

The book is co-edited by Suhana Bhatia and Geetha Balsara.

The 300 pages book is priced at Rs.399, and is available in bookstores, on Amazon.in & JAICO BOOKS website.

Hoppipola – A Dining Experience

Ever since I came to know that Hoppipola is opening in Kalyani Nagar, Pune I wanted to visit this place. So Hoppipola spread its wings in Kalyani Nagar sometime back. Beautiful ambiance, great music and a well curated menu with wide variety to choose from. DELICIOUS!!

 

LET’S TALK IN DETAIL

Ambiance –

A beautiful sit out with high white chairs which are apparently very comfortable to sit. Their walls have some of the quirkiest paintings that are sure to catch your attention. Inside is their bar and dine in with a reading corner. They also have a cute corner where you can play board games or keep your child occupied with the balls they have mounted on the wall. Very innovative.

Food | Food | Food

 

This place has a very innovative way of curating the dishes and bringing out something different that had not been savored by a taste bud before this. The Jaipuri style paapad was innovative unlike the regular masala paapad. Even the seasonings on top was very tasty.

Among starters its really difficult to choose what was best out of all ordered but Chicken Popsicle and Cheesy Nachos Avalanche stole my heart. Crispy Popsicle were so well cooked and delicious. The nachos came without cheese and I was like….what??? But then hot cheese was poured in front of us and omg!! An avalanche of cheese for sure…loved the kidney beans with it that added more to the taste.

In main course again we loved the pizza and the sizzler. Chicken Sukha was yummm. I loved the Pork Bowl. That’s one meat I am skeptical about but this was cooked so well so soft and oh so delicious.

Am not a keen fan of Apple Pie but I guess my friends liked it. I loved the sizzling brownie because though all paces serve this now but the soft melting brownie was just wwwwoooooooowww…

Overall an amazing place to visit with friends and family. It’s a very peaceful place to sit in afternoon with work or just to spend time with yourself. Am surely coming back again.

Swachta Ki Pathshala Now In Baramati

---

Swachta Ki Pathshala, a concept inspired by Mr. Ashwini K Choudhary – Founder BrijBhoomi Foundation and organised by Brain World – Reshu Aggarwaal walked an extra mile and reached Baramati this week. A team of five travelled all the way from Pune to Baramati to conduct a two day workshop on conservation and cleanliness of environment. More than 2500 children participated from two prime schools of Baramati, Vidya Prathishthan New English School and Vidhya Pratishtaan New Bal Vikas Mandir. This was an opportunity conceptualized for children to go creative with the theme of clean and green environment and use their creative and innovative imagination to bring out the message for masses.

With a vision to bring out a revolution of change and inculcate a habit of cleanliness amongst children, the team conducted a series of activities in the school premises. Idea was to see children set examples for a clean green environment. The children were at first briefed about the event and the concept with real time examples to make it an enthusiastic activity overall. The topics covered were – Water Harvesting, Say No To Plastics and Plant More Trees which were given to 3 different batches of children – class 1^st to 4^th, class 5^th to 8^th and class 9^th to 12^th. These topics were given on spot to churn their minds and bring out the creativity in their message.

 

The activity started with an essay writing on the given topics. They were however still curious about the topic for drawing. A child’s mind is creative and can bring out some interesting innovative, imaginative thoughts. They were therefore asked to now draw the same thoughts that they expressed in words. It was wonderful seeing children from different age groups bring out their creativity in their own way, this time with drawings, colors and shading. The team also had a heart to heart conversation with children. The level of understanding and a will power to do something was seen as a strong driving force within these children. The team also felt the selfless love and warmth from them.

 

 

Swachata Ki Pathshala team comprised of Ms. Reshu Aggarwaal (President for Maharashtra – Brijbhoomi Foundation, Founder of Brain World), Trisha Roy (Shades of Expressions – Lifestyle Blogger), Madhura Dixit Keskar (Madhura Evas – Youtube Channel for women) and Meenakshi and Sheetal (NLP Coaches).

 

Stay tuned for more updates on Swachata Ki Pathshala.

Gameskraft’s new ad for Rummyculture is what real Rummy is all about – tradition, fun and entertainment

Rummyculture first in the industry to air ad after a two year gap

---

 

In a bid to capture a wider audience, Gameskraft, India’s fastest growing gaming company, has come up with a path breaking TV commercial for its most successful online game – Rummyculture. As part of its new TV campaign, Rummyculture’s new ad brings to the fore, the very reason Rummy was traditionally played – for fun and entertainment. The ad humorously captures the essence of being involved in playing the game and focuses on the excitement rather than the competition to earn more.

In fact, Gameskraft’s Rummyculture is the first online cash game to come up with a TVC after a gap of two years. The Rummy market had gone on a slumber and had stopped traditional TV advertisements, until Rummyculture’s path breaking TV campaign now. Prithvi Singh, Founder and CTO of Gameskraft, Rummyculture’s parent company, says, “Online rummy games were the first movers to advertise as far as cash games are concerned. But that was until fantasy gaming came along and changed the scenario. Now, Rummy is making a resurgence, a comeback of sorts, which I feel is very good for the gaming ecosystem.”

Rummyculture’s new 20 and 10 second TV ads will initially air across most TV channels across Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. The 360 degree campaign will last for 28 days, capturing the attention of the viewers, urging them to loosen the competitive grip and rather enjoy the game. The ad also puts into perspective that online games need not be a single player entertainment. Says Prithvi Singh, “Traditionally Rummy games were played by families, bringing them together. But that whole aspect is lost nowadays as families have grown distant and also for want of time, it has become a single faceted game. Rummyculture brings them together for a nice entertainment session and that is exactly what we have tried to do with the ad. We have highlighted, through the ad, the fact that Rummy can be enjoyed together and families can once again see it as a collective entertainment platform.”

 Launched in October 2017, Rummyculture is the debut game from Gameskraft. In just a short span of time, it has evolved as India’s fastest growing cash rummy platform, with over 1 million active players on its website and Android application. Offering best-in-class gaming experience with complete digital safety, Rummyculture offers multilingual customer support. Free to register, the platform offers generous welcome bonuses to first-time users. 

Punyadham Ashram organizes Ganesh Utsav Special Program in Yerwada Prison

Punyadham Ashram believes that all should realize their mistakes, repent & then reform themselves. So on Saturday, 7^th Sept a special program for Ganesh Utsav was organized by Punyadham Ashram in the Gents’ jail at the humble request of the Superintendant of Yerwada Jail, Shri U T Pawar. 

Bindu Shah & her melodious group presented a superb program which was an excellent mix of old and new Hindi & Marathi songs and bhajans of Lord Ganesha. The inmates also joined in with the clapping & singing in chorus.

Shri Pawar shared with everyone how so much noble work is done through Punyadham with Maa Krishna’s guidance & blessings. He also expressed his deepest gratitude to Maa and all in Punyadham for providing such valuable service, whether it was in form of devotional & spiritual programs, the medical camps in both Women’s & Gents’ Jail or during Diwali providing new clothes for little children incarcerated with their mothers in jail.

Maa in her address thanked Shri Pawar for his cooperation for allowing Punyadham to serve the inmates and said that she found the environment inside the jail so positive that whenever they enter it seems more like they have come to a college with so much learning and discipline and that Shri Pawar is like the Principal who takes such good care of his pupils with the help of his efficient staff. She prayed that they should work hard and once they are in the outside world they should strive to be good, sincere human beings with the ‘best results’!

Maa also thanked Chief Coordinator- Amita Baindur for organizing such a wonderful program which was enjoyed by everyone. After a loud round of applause from everyone present, one of the inmates came up in front to thank Maa for time and again arranging such beautiful events, which keep them healthy, happy and refreshed for days together. He requested that such programs be organized more frequently.

After the very successful bhajan program everyone was filled with bliss, having extended so much happiness and spirituality into the lives of the inmates.

Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board Mesmerizes Pune With Mega Roadshow

~The Roadshow was organized to promote the state as a year-round tourist destination~

Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board (MPTB) successfully organised Tourism road show at Hyatt Pune Hotel in Kalyani Nagar, Pune city, which is popularly known as “Queen of Deccan”. The main objective to host roadshows is to promote various tourist destinations of the state via B2B meetings and interactive sessions. The Road show was an attempt to bring together different stakeholders of the region on a common platform and to showcase the tremendous tourism potential that the state possesses.

Madhya Pradesh is a state that echoes the culture and tradition of India accurately. It is an unadulterated fusion of countless communities, castes and cultures which attract the major chunk of the tourists throughout the year, be it domestic or foreign. It is one of the forerunners among the economically rising states of the country and is teaming with vast potential of investment in tourism sector.

Speaking on the occasion Mr. Yuvraj Padole, Deputy Director, Madhya Pradesh Tourism Board said, “We are hoping that the roadshow will arouse the curiosity of trade people of Pune and they in turn will lead their guests to explore Madhya Pradesh. We are glad that we could meet multiple investors and to elucidate them the investment opportunities in Madhya Pradesh. This will make MP an even more tourist friendly destination.”

These roadshows are aimed to give a feel of Madhya Pradesh and facilitate a better understanding of the state and provide complete information along with showcasing the culture and the wide range of tourism products and offerings.

Madhya Pradesh offers an assortment of attractions to everyone who loves to travel. It is the state with the forest area cover of 77,700 sq.kms filled with Sal Trees & Bamboos. It has numerous wildlife hot spots with 11 National parks & 24 Wildlife sanctuaries such as Satpura Wildlife Sanctuary and Chambal Ghadiyal Sanctuary. The UNESCO world heritage sites of Khajuraho, Bhimbetka & Sanchi are the iconic sites in Madhya Pradesh. Madhya Pradesh has  re-gained the tag of being “Tiger State of the Country” by having maximum tiger count(526) in the state. The roar of Tigers has increased in the dense and beautiful forests of Madhya Pradesh.

Madhya Pradesh is not only home to two Jyotirlingas; Omkareshwar and Mahakaleshwar. Burhanpur and Bhopal exhibit the Mughal Architecture. Gwalior and Mandu are some of the beautiful architectural sites, whereas lndirasagar, Gandhisagar, Tawa and Bargi are the spellbinding water bodies. Cultural events like Khajuraho Dance festival, MalwaUtsav, Tansen Festival, Allauddin Music fest, Madhya Pradesh spares no effort to leave one in awe of culture and heritage. This only goes to prove that MP is most definitely the melting pots of various faiths, ethnicity as well as cultures. Besides, the exciting calendar for visitors to Madhya Pradesh kick starts with “Pachmarhi Monsoon Marathon”, “Go Heritage Run”, “ Satpura Cycle Safari” and “Adventure Activities at River Narmada” which are very popular amongst the trade people and tourists from various regions of the country.

The idea behind such an initiative is to urge more people from different cities to come and visit Madhya Pradesh, “The Heart of Incredible India”.
