Title -  Leadership Lessons from the Bhagavad Gita Author - Ace V.Simpson Genre - Business, Strategy & Management Publishers - SAGE Publications India P Ltd ISBN - 978-93-532-8686-6 Bhagawad Gita is believed to be the discourse of worldly information given by none other than Lord Krishna(Avatar of Lord Vishnu) to Arjuna(one of the 5 members of Pandava brothers) in the battlefield when the latter decided not to find against his cousins despite knowing the fact that they stood for " Adharma ". It is this discourse which enlightened him, making him to fight and defeat the Gauravas/Kauravas. The book has been deciphered in various forms from time to time. Each one of them gave a different way of approach to the " Gita " and has never failed to wow me. However, this time, when I picked this book, looking at the description, " Books for a Happy Work Life - Leadership Lessons ", I was bit skeptical as to how it would differ from the other....

This restaurant is located in the Ispahani Centre. My sis & I reached the venue by around 12:15pm & was surprised to find that there was “No Parking” for our 2-Wheeler. Thank God! I did not go on my 4-Wheeler. After some searching all by myself, I found a parking space opposite to ICAI. Relief  😊 Weather was pleasant outside. Hence no complaints about that. As soon as I entered the restaurant which was on the ground floor - just on the left, we were welcomed the the restaurant  staffs. We took the corner seat (since by then we never knew that they had 2 floors - 1st & 2nd). We were amazed by the interior which were done & resembled the typical Dhaba. Yes. That’s Dhaba in the city. The lightings were Colorful & Attractive. Some chandeliers were made of glass bottles. Then comes the painting which were as Colorful as the lights. Then there were frames - frames of some anecdotes, wordings & Bollywood movies. As we went up, we were surprised to ...

A real good experience is what we had this evening along with my blogger friends. The property is located bang on the main road with perfect parking facilities for 2/4 wheeler. I came to know that the first floor has the co-working space concept and the ground floor has this one of a kind restaurant. The interiors were intricately done by giving importance to each and every minute detail. This would be good for a family get together apart from hosting parties for your friends  and colleagues. They have this swing in the lawn which I fell in love with as soon as I saw it. The walls were done beautifully with pictures/paintings. There were properties across the sections on the wall. The menu is curated my “Mad Chef” Koushik Shankar. We were 7 of us out of which 5 were vegetarian & 2 of us alone were Non-Vegetarian. What did we order? Peri peri wings Onion Rings Kaju Paneer Skewers Purple Chicken Dimsum Three sauce - mustard, spring onion, soya chill...

When I heard through couple of my friends that there is Japanese Film Festival happening in PVR ICON, VR Chennai, I immediately wanted to go but due to time constraints, I could not. The movie festival started on 8th November and is ending today - 17th November,2019. It is screened across 7 cities in India with 25 films being screened in each city. I was told that the movies that were screened were really good. Though I regret missing few of the movies, I made it a point to visit the theater and was there yesterday -16th November. The movieplex was beautifully done(it was my first time to visit this theater). The stage was set just opposite to the ticketing counter. We were asked to wait since it is only an hour before, they would issue the tickets. I was there by 10:30 and they started issuing tickets from 11AM. I was the first to grab them. The first movie was " Bento Harrassment ". I decided to catch up with the next movie as soon as this got over bu...

If you are a foodie, you certainly wouldn't want to miss catching up with Masterchefs especially when they come to your place for an event. This is what happened with me when I came to know that Masterchef Sarah Todd would be visiting VR Chennai along with other celebrity Chefs Vicky Ratnani and Saransh Goila .  Sarah Todd is known for her quick preparations and had cooked Aloo Gobi in Masterchef Austalia whereas Saransh is famous for introducing Butter Chicken - his brand " Goila Butter Chicken " to the West. Vicky needs no introduction. I saw the posts made by Kiran Soans promoted " World On A Plate " instagram page about the contest and took part in it immediately. As luck would have it, I was announced as a winner for couple of events - " Judging the Dish " prepared by the Chefs on their face-off challenge and " Sous Chef for Vicky Ratnani ". This came exactly at 9:30PM, the day before the event with just less than 12 hours to go...
