Very Delhi...

The National Capital Territory of Delhi is not the capital of India for no reason. Delhi is also the cultural capital of the country. The people, the culture, the food, the architecture [and even the girls ;)] are all that make Delhi the best damn city in India. What I love about Delhi is that this place is always active. There is something to do every day (unless you have only either a even or odd number car, in which case there is something to do at least every alternate day).  You know the people you see in the news everyday?  The people of Delhi get to se at least one such dignitary/celebrity every day.

Delhi is the home of the most important dignitaries of the country. It is the political hub of this country.  If you want to be a ‘somebody’ then Delhi is the place to be. The person selling chaat outside a minister’s house could become a minister himself someday. The people here are driven and filled with passion. We affect change in society which causes waves of revolution throughout the country. Delhi is truly the place where an ‘Aam Aadmi’ can also be #madeofgreat.

One must check out the Lotus temple at night. If you want to visit a quaint and peaceful place, Humayun's Tomb is beautiful and morbidly divine. Delhi also prides itself of being one of the greenest urban cities in the country. The most popular area in Delhi is of course Connaught Place, which is known for more than being a economic hub. A serene place to be is Akshardham temple. When you visit India Gate also try the rocket kulfi. It is simply amazing! Among more modern man-made structures see the Delhi Metro which is known not just for its utility, but for its design.

 Delhi is the most regal city in the country. They are connected by more than just a metro, but by its political spirit and love for change. The people of Delhi are always ready to work for the better of this country. (You are welcome, by the way.) Delhiites are a mixed bunch of motivated and people. We know how to work hard and also how to party. Life here is much more balanced and meaningful, because that’s what Delhi does to us. This city brings out the best in all of us.

Drive, Design and Connect, these are what make Delhi truly great. Just like Tata Motors, Delhi too is #madeofgreat. Although I’m living Mumbai now to take care of my grand mother, I do really do miss Delhi. Don’t worry, Delhiites, I’ll be back soon! Mwah!

Food & Future: How relevant to LPU college campus??

Healthy body and healthy diet is sign of an intelligent student. Nowadays being knowledgeable is just not adequate to compete in the present educational system.

Have you ever thought, what all do you need in order to become a smart student?? Well, I will always point out college infrastructure, campus, college surroundings and yes, university’s concern towards Paper Pattern, Syllabus & Teaching Staff. These all are the ingredients which are required to make a university completely professional.

Gone those days when people used to have only books for their studies, now this is an epoch when they require all sorts of amenities to do proper studies as this era is for tough competitors.   

If you want to compete with this competition then I would say “Lovely Professional University” is a perfect place as it provides all amenities in a single roof.

As I mentioned earlier that for best level of education you need to have all sort of facilities which I believe every institution should provide and Lovely Professional University has that level of standard.

An year ago when I and my friends completed our law degree from Mumbai University we all planned to do our LLM from LPU but due to some financial difficulties I couldn’t shift to Jalandhar and couldn’t take admission for that academic year but one of my friend who was a pure vegetarian and Jain by religion took admission at LPU.

Firstly he was very happy to see vegetarian food at University campus. He spoke to us and shared his personal experience for being a part of LPU.

It’s good to know that LPU has taken each and everything into their mind regarding all factors which promote education & its environment. As we all know almost 60% population in India is vegetarian and LPU campus has all green marked products in their university campus.
Image-Credit

He informed us that that Dominos, CCD, Coffee Chocolade, Subway etc are also available within the campus. They serve the food strictly with green dot.

LPU is situated in Jalandhar-Delhi, Punjab with the academic staff of 3,500 who are highly qualified and well versed with the modern education system.

Every day I used to speak to him regarding his experience as even I wanted to take admission into LLM for the next academic year.
Image Credit

The only thing which I was hesitating to go to LPU was that my friend always informed me about vegetarian food and being Non-Vegetarian Brahmin I always love to eat non-veg.

Few months later my friend only informed me about some awesome non-vegetarian food places outside the campus. After knowing it I was really happy.

LPU provides “Meal Plan” in 3 different categories- Standard Meal, Regional Meal (South Indian) and Continental Meal at very reasonable rate. For more details click here.

If you see LPU campus in Google maps you will come to know that there are numerous restaurants outside the Campus like "Maharaja Palace-Phagwara", "Muncheeze The Food Place", "Haveli", "The Taste of LPU", "Neeta Chicken & Fish Corner", "Basant Plaza",  "Idli Bar",  "Bean O Mania", "Bella Pizza", "Bawa Ice Castle", "Red Devils" etc. 

The awesome LPU campus is a perfect place where you can study and stay healthy.

After hearing my friend’s experience I really loved it and made my decision final to do my LLM from LPU from coming academic year as it is one of the perfect place which I found in India.

I have seen several hostel students struggling for healthy food & proper accommodation but LPU is not that case at all. J J J

Environment and its use- Windergy India

Image Source

Environment & Human-
“Environment” one of the common problem in the world and almost every country is facing such a drastic worst condition of environment issues. In order to tackle environment problems numerous countries came ahead with the codified norms in the form of law in order to maintain the environment peace.

In order to conservation of natural resources various measures has been taken up by the governments of different countries and they also invented new technology in order to conserve environment without causing any damage to the nature. India codified the Environment norms in the name of "Environment Protection Act, 1986". Protecting Environment from Hazardous Substances & Living in Healthy Environment is one of the right and duties of citizens of the world which was also envisaged and taken up in written conventions of world summit. Wind energy is also a part of Environment in which you can protect environment health without causing hurt to Environment. Conserving wind energy is one of the example which helps in development of technology without causing any harm to the nature.

Wind energy or wind power is that form of using natural resources which causes negligible harm to the environment.

Wind energy or wind power is extracted from air flow using wind turbines in order to produce mechanical or electrical energy.

Windmills are used for their mechanical power, wind-pumps for water pumping, and sail to propel ships.

Wind power is an alternative to fossil fuels, plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, produces no greenhouse gas emissions during operation, and uses little land. The effects on the environment are far less problematic than those of non-renewable power sources this is the reason being why use of wind energy has taken as an essential pace towards the protection of nature and development of growth rate of nation.

"Indian Wind Turbine Manufacturers Association" has launched Windergy India – a unique digital platform to create awareness about the Wind Energy sector in India. Windergy India is slated to be the voice of the Wind Energy industry.
Image Source

The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has set ambitious targets for the Wind Energy sector. As the sector aims to reach 60,000 MW capacities, it needs the support of the government. 

Windergy India aims to create wider public awareness on the benefits of wind energy, and the sectors efforts in India. Its mission is to develop recommendation for Wind Energy among the general public.

Towards this, they have set up our presence on social media platforms. Windergy India is also developing a website, and working on a series of campaigns to help spread awareness about the benefits of wind energy as a viable solution to India's energy crisis and its impact on global warming and climate change.

Wind Energy is truly green Energy (Renewable Energy):
 As we all know wind energy is renewable energy and is truly green energy which does not harm to environment in any way and completely safe in its use.

Wind power in India:

The concept of wind power started in India from 1990s and depicted its substantial pace towards the development of India. It is delightful to hear that India has fifth largest installed wind power capacity in the world.

Future Scope of Wind Energy in India:
The growth of Renewable Energy in India is massive and Wind Energy proves to be the most effective solution to the problem of depleting fossil fuels, importing of coal, greenhouse gas emission, environmental pollution etc.

Wind energy as a renewable, non-polluting and affordable source directly avoids dependency of fuel and transport, can lead to green and clean electricity.

One of the major advantages of wind energy is its inherent strength to support rural employment and uplift of rural economy. Further, unlike all other sources of power, wind energy does not consume any water which in itself will become a scarce commodity. Hence one can say easily that development of wind energy can wide a scope of development in the country in all aspects and indeed it’s an essential part of development of our country.

Why should India focus on developing its Wind Energy capabilities further in a big way?
Image Source
Well, these are obvious reasons which I already have provided hereinabove paragraphs that environment protection is the dire need of the world and it is a right time to utilize “Green Energy” or “Renewable Energy” so that India can progress and compete with the world in terms of development and technology. India should advance wind-energy capabilities so that it can reduce its dependency on other countries and can become Independent country in production of fuel and transport which will definitely help to generate more revenue for growth of the nation.

Last Word-

As being prudent citizens of country it’s our one of the duty to protect & promote environment and should also spread the awareness among the masses. Please pass on the knowledge and share your knowledge among the masses. Promote wind-Energy scope and help India to progress in a better way. 

            Yes, you can contribute to your nation's development by spreading awareness.

Stay together with Cleartrip & Enjoy Luxurious Life of Mumbai....

                                          
23rd March, 2015; my lovely sister got engaged to his dream-boy who was dating her past three year. Finally that day came when they both decided to get married and planned to move a step ahead to complete their love life.

It wasn’t an easy task to convince my parents and being from different sub-casts of rigid Brahmin community it was an extremely tough challenge for them to satisfy the requirements of marriage in view points of both the families.

It is a true saying that love has power to change the mind of masses. Nothing can be above in case of the concept of love.

Since, the marriage has fixed on 13th December, 2015 and I am occupied with my final year law exams and don’t have high budget also which I can use to gift my lovely sister on her wedding day.

Though I had some of my savings which I had saved especially for such occasions but in today’s world what can you expect with Rs. 10,000/- (approximately)??? That to on someone’s wedding day.

Wait, the problem was not that tough as it was looking initially and subsequently I discussed with my friend Ankit regarding my sister’s wedding gift in Rs. 10,000/- (tentatively). He gave me an example of his own personal experience which he used during his brother’s wedding and suggested to visit Cleartrip.com.

On his suggestion I visited the website and after seeing the offers decided to give a night stay as a gift at some awesome hotels of Mumbai.

I selected three hotels as per my budget which were-

1) Mirage Hotel – it was the best hotel which I found nearby the area and best hotel for couples.
Mirage Hotel, Mumbai

The stylish Mirage Hotel is located at the heart of the Mumbai's commercial hub Marol, near Andheri and Juhu Beach (Approx. 9km), I found it the perfect one which was the best which I can get through cleartrip.com. Hotel Mirage was my first choice for my sister where she can spend her first night and it can be a best wedding gift from my side as the location, Ambiance & Luxurious rooms were the most attracted one which I saw on the website.
.
2) The Lalit- one of the dreams Hotel in the heart of Mumbai. The Lalit Mumbai Hotel situated at Andheri (East).  
The Lalit, Mumbai

The beautiful ambience of “The Lalit” is one of the mesmerized hotels which are indeed a best choice if anyone wants to stay in Mumbai. It is situated at one of the fine location which one can have in the city like Mumbai.

3) Sahara Star Hotel- This lavish building of this hotel is located at Vile Parle and serves quick and hassle free connectivity to local destinations like Marine Drive.   
Sahara Star, Mumbai

In the city like Mumbai what do you expect?? There can be nothing like Sahara Star which is known for its hospitality & services. It had attracted my attention which I can suggest to anyone blindly as I have experienced the services of this hotel during my social media meet.
The above all three hotels were of my choice and I just needed to take permission from would be couple before booking.

I am just damn excited to show my choice-list to my favourite couple and indeed this can be a great start for both of them.

Soon, I am going to give this gift to my sister for her happy married life and all thanks goes to cleartrip.com for providing such a fine source which provides best suggestions alongwith other necessary information.

These are the best hotels in my beautiful city, Mumbai. These three hotels are the perfect place for lovely newly wedded couple as it is nearby to our residential location and in terms of service, ambiance, Structure and luxury I will select them as one of the well deserving perfect place for my sister's wedding night & vacations.  

Hmmm, so!! What are you waiting for?? come and suggest these sort of places to your beloved relatives & Family by just clicking here.

This is my Togetherness- The Real Togetherness…

My 10 year old niece who is a complete definition of innocence for me and who completes me when I lack in something.

But with the time it is being so observable for both of us that we are no more together in sharing sometime with each other due to our busy schedules. I spend my more than 12 of hours in front of laptop in order to finish up my office work and targets; she spends lots of time in schools tuition and remaining time on some gadgets in order to play games or listen to some music so that she can entertain herself.

Sometimes I feel why do we earn money?? Answer is not as simple as we expect it to be. Initially money remains just an average part of life in order to survive and fulfill basic requirements of humans but with time it turns to greed and hunger for money.  

I badly miss that time when I was a student whose expenses were just limited to burger, books & coke. Now the life is not as it used to be few years ago.

Those memories are still alive in me when I used to be a part of Environmental Protection camps, National Services camps and street drama club. That time has just remained a part of my memories nothing more. Now my life is more or less occupied with work & work.

When I look at my office culture & staff and observe my office life I find that majority of them are either busy in their office work or on mobiles or tablets. Colleagues are no more interested in interacting to anyone. Corporate has turned as a second place for weaving & playing politics.

Crowd is running not to finish the border line or achieving goals but to defeat each other and pull others down.

I feel sad when I see how badly we are taking advantages of our festivals and converting it into shameful activities as a part of rites and rituals of our tradition. 

We are misusing our environment and making it as a part of our own filth. We are spoiling our pure water of nature, killing our forest & abandoning our humanity.

What is needed to be done?? Don’t you think so that we should work hard to improve our humanity once again??  Don’t you think so that we should protect our earth??

Yes, we should and we can do it. It is a high time to protect our earth from unreasonable selfish filth of old tradition, rites & rituals.   

We should protect our environment from present exploitation & past shackles.

It’s time to spread awareness among the masses. It’s high time to conserve our nature for our future generation.

It’s our responsibility to bring back the concept of “Togetherness” on our beautiful earth.  
Let’s plant trees, protect environment & break the filthy chain of unreasonable traditions; come together, be together irrespective of any caste or religion.      

It's high time to takeout time from given time. 


Please watch & share this video of Kissanpur in order to spread togetherness in sweet and simple way.


McCain Date with my Sweetheart........

Source
My lover, who is sweet by heart and salty by tummy; who is a foodie, blogger, software engineer, story writer, poet and above all these he is a best boyfriend in this world.

It’s not just that my lover is my only priority; beside my lover I also love my 10 year old niece, my parents, my best friend and my darling sister. If I count then overall there are 10 people who all are my heartbeats. Without them I am just like niddle without thread, shoes without socks and winter without blanket.

Fortunately or unfortunately to say that abovementioned heartbeats of mine are foodies.  And to make them happy I always need to cook for them their favourite dishes.

My lover who is a pure vegetarian and my remaining loved ones are non-vegetarians including me too. It is a dilemma for me to satisfy their hunger need with their favourite dishes. But good thing is that my non-vegetarian loved ones do prefer to eat Veg food if the taste of a veg dish is extraordinary. 

If you see then you will come to know that there are numerous readymade snacks are available in the markets which are good in taste but any guesses which one is being most famous these days??? Well.. Yes, it McCain snacks; who else it can be???

Smiling McCain snacks has a power to change your dull dinner date into an awesome dinner date. Now will see how it improved my dinner date-

Being a hardcore non-vegetarian Brahmin girl it was really traumatising for me to cook any vegetarian dish but as I mentioned earlier my lover is a vegetarian. Cooking veg dishes were always a headache for me.

But as it is very famous saying “if you want to enter in the heart of a gentleman whom you love, you should have expertise in cooking because his heart ways go from his tummy” and Yes, it was completely true in my case.  

My lover, being a vegetarian foodie gentleman; it was a tough challenge for me to win his heart as his mom was a great cook and his expectations from me was much more.

One fine day I invited him for a date. Well I know it looks awkward when girl calls a guy for a date but my mind is quite open enough in this regard. No one was available at my home except my elder sister who was aware of my relationship. I called up my bf and informed him that today he has to have dinner at my home. He was excited but scared too and affirmed fir the same in a sarcastic way.  
Source
It was 11 am when I officially invited him for a date so I had complete day to prepare something special for my dinner date. I planned to prepare Paneer Tikka, Chapati, Curd Curry and his favourite Gajar ka Halwa.

I requested my sister to bring some ingredients which wasn’t available in our kitchen subsequently she bought those ingredients and handed over the bag to me. While checking the ingredients bag I saw packet of McCain.
Out of curiosity I asked her what the reason for buying a packet of McCain is. She said just fry this smiling McCains in a pan with some oil then see a charm of you dinner date.

I was glad to see my sister’s interest in my dinner date. By 6.50 pm I was almost done with my cooking. The only thing which was pending was McCain to fry.

Considering it as easy work I preferred to fry McCain in the end after getting ready for my lovely sweetheart. Exact at 7.30 pm I got a call from my beloved and he informed me that he has reached to station and will take another 25 minutes to reach at my home.

After getting ready I went inside the kitchen to finish up my last task of the day. I pour some edible oil in a pan to fry smiley McCain. After fry it was looking very crispy and elegant. The aroma of that was really seductive.

As a part of experiment I decorated some separate coins of McCain with cheese which was getting melt on hot McCain and also added aloo bhujiya sev on top of some McCain coins. At last served it in a plate with coriander and pudina.

The moment my lover entered in my home he was happy to see me in a dress which he had gifted me. He greeted my sister nicely and then I got some cold drinks for him. After an hour of chit-chat we proceeded towards dining table where I had kept everything ready.

He glanced at each and every dish but he was quite surprised to see McCain smiley coins.  He tasted one slice of it and started complimenting the McCain smileys. He asked me how did I make it then I showed him a packet of McCain. He was really surprise to see how tasty snacks they have managed to serve. He actually complemented the brand and its efforts for such extraordinary packet of snacks.

This is how my dinner date became the most cherishable moment of our love life with the help of McCain.
