The Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association says the Federation of Western India Cine Employees is selling houses in non-existent scheme to people working in film industry

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 07: The Indian Motion Picture Producers’ Association (IMPPA), which represents more than 6,000 members engaged in the production of films, TV serials, and entertainment programmes is seeking an FIR against the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) for fraud.

In a complaint with Amboli police station, IMPPA said it has come across pamphlets and advertisements on social media claiming the Federation has acquired 253-acre land at Karjat in Raigad district, and are in the process of constructing as many as 50,000 houses. FWICE has offered to sell the houses to people working in the film industry.

IMPPA said in its complaint that as per the office of the tahsildar and executive magistrate of Karjat’s letter dated December 3, the Federation has not acquired a single inch of land.

“FWICE office bearers are calling workers, artists, technicians, and other persons working in the film and TV industry to their office and offering them to sell the houses in the said project. They are collecting advance amounts when the fact is no land has been acquired and no such buildings are coming up. They have already duped many people by promising them houses in non-existent schemes. This is a serious offence, and we have approached police to register an FIR against FWICE office bearers involved in the fraud,” said TP Aggarwal, President IMPPA.

“The FWICE is cheating gullible members. This is a breach of trust and playing with emotions of the workers, giving them hope when there is none,” he added.

The IMPPA said the Federation office bearers are also trying to cheat government authorities by claiming the state and central government would pay subsidies on the purchase of the said houses.

According to IMPPA, the Federation’s office-bearers have also been causing harassment to producers and other persons engaged in the production of films, serials, and other entertainment programmes. It said the Federation’s office bearers are facing charges of abetment to suicide and other crimes.

A hymn inspired from Atharva Veda to benefit every human life

 December 07: Covid has impacted each one of us through its multiple strains & waves in various aspects of lives, including health, wealth & a lot more. While a popular proverb states, “Health is Wealth”, we know how exhausting it has been for families who have been impacted by COVID-19 or any of its strain.

This pandemic has made us realise that Healthy living should be a part of our daily routine. Chronic diseases and long-term illnesses can be avoided by leading a healthy lifestyle. Self-esteem and self-image are aided by feeling good about yourself and taking care of your health.

 Stating this, our spokesperson from Digi Labs Media media says, “Pandemic has been exhausting for everyone health wise & financially. And since there are a lot of unanswered questions related to the new variant of COVID, which was also declared as VOC (a variant of concern), Torque Ayurveda has decided to share a prayer inspired from Atharva Veda to bless us with health for fighting the multiple versions of covid and each family to have enough money to survive.”

The Atharva Veda is referred to be a “knowledge store of atharvas, or everyday living procedures.” The Atharvaveda is the fourth Veda, and its primary text dates from the 2nd millennium BC, during the classical Mantra period of Vedic Sanskrit, making it older than the Rigveda. The language of the Atharvaveda differs from Vedic Sanskrit.

Torque Ayurveda is India’s leading Ayurvedic Brand &is dedicated to revolutionizing the healthcare sector with excellent products backed by stupendous R&D along with state-of-the-art technology. The firm aspires to make products that are affordable and accessible for all nationally as well as internationally. The products manufactured are absolutely safe and have no side-effects.

Look forward to join Atharva Veda’s inspired prayers through social media platforms of Torque Ayurveda which are as follows:

December 06: It’s 2021, and the year is about to end. All of us have just started opening up to the idea of going out and finally enjoying a fully vaccinated life. The reopening of the world to us, deserves a celebration.

When we talk about celebration, getting together with some friends, or just taking someone special out on a date, a cafe with a beautiful ambience is a go-to choice.

If we circle back to the silver lining of staying inside for over one and a half years, we can definitely appreciate the improvement in the air quality around us.

Along with that, we got more time to connect with our loved ones, nature, and ourselves.

Now that everything is opening again, why not keep the good parts to us?

We, of course, mean an outing somewhere peaceful, somewhere with nature’s ambience, somewhere you can connect with your loved ones at peace. But, where would you find such a place? Well, we have found just the right place for you. Arbre, the Restro Cafe.

When we visited Arbre, we were mesmerized with the idea and the execution which they’ve pulled. It’s a cafe to connect you with nature. It’s a city nestled in lush greens.

Let us take you with our experience with Arbre. With an original idea, Arbre is the only cafe that lets you connect with nature at such a magnitude in Ahmedabad.

One of the first things we noticed while gathering our thoughts on the cafe is,

They work on a reservation system, which is a little different from booking. It means Arbre will have a table waiting for you at the time decided by you. Cutting off the factor of waiting for your table altogether. They have a very special button on their Instagram page, a reserve button, which, if we comment, is only available to a handful of cafes or restaurants in the country. A very convenient and commendable effort indeed.

You can directly reserve your table from their instagram profile, @arbre.cafe, or just drop them a text on Whatsapp.

Attention to details

When you visit a place like Arbre, you expect a rigid, no feedback system in place.

But, it’s very different from them. The founders of the cafe are present on the grounds every single day making sure, and taking feedback from people to curate the best experience. They were not aware of the fact that we’ll be visiting their cafe to write an article. Witnessing such warm hospitality towards everyone from the founders themselves was a beautiful gesture.

When we first stepped into Arbre, our eyes widened, we followed mellow music, and a special odor hit us. A good odor is very important to elevate your experience in any cafe, as it stimulates your senses, especially crafted mellow music playing in the cafe prepares you for the experience you’re about to embark on. Did we tell you there’s a plant Nursery, too, inside the cafe? We really loved the natural ambience.

We believe that being close to nature stimulates our minds and keeps us happy.

Hence, experiencing this nursery which solely and solemnly connects you with nature, was one of a kind.

A small treat to your eyes.

After settling down on our reserved table, we noticed something very new, very unusual yet very adorable. Some lovely ducks joined our evening, freely roaming around the space. Initially, we couldn’t believe they were real. It really becomes a small treat to your eyes. There aren’t any corners that Arbre has cut to elevate your mood and engage your senses.

The centre table of attraction.

 With the only cafe of such natural ambience, that Arbre has built-in Ahmedabad.

One thing that caught the twinkle in our eyes was their centre table. It’s a huge, 12+ people table built over the Lily Pond they’ve included in their lush greens.

If you’re having a big celebration or planning something special with your loved ones, we definitely recommend you guys to gather up 12-15 people and reserve this centre table of attractions. Not only is it one of the best tables in the cafe, it will be a one of a kind experience only a handful of places are capable of offering you.

The Restro and The Cafe

Initially, they started with the idea of an evening in the forest, but soon, the idea of serendipitous mornings in the lush greens was created. The Cafe is functional from 11 in the morning to 5 PM in the evening and, post 7 PM they offer one of a kind, fine-dine experience. Headout to their Instagram page and reserve a table; they’ll make sure you find something amazing, amidst nature.

Grand Piano Evenings

 We were so impressed with the place we started inquiring about what they have in store for the future of Arbre. It turns out, they’re introducing a, not so loud, Grand Piano Evenings inside the cafe. The place not only will be full of natural ambience but it will also be accompanied by a soulful, melodious music over the piano.

They’re calling it, Grand Piano Evenings | Affairs Amidst Nature.

They offer you an assured beautiful spot with no waiting in lines, great ambience, better food, handpicked odors, and stimulating live music, i.e. a recipe for nothing but the best. It’s true that the best comes only once in a century.  And for this one, Arbre is winning by a mile.

Surya Sarees has launched an evocative Bridal Edit that captures the emotions evoked of love, faith, and hope epitomised by marriage

Inayat, the newest bridal edit 21-22 from the House of Surya captures, celebrates and brings alive every nuance of that journey

New Delhi (India), December 1: Surya Sarees, a complete ethnic fashion house based in Delhi, has launched the Newest Bridal Edit of ‘Love and With Love’, which is the latest collection of bridal couture.

The colour rich Bridal Collection of Surya Sarees is an enchanting medley of bridal glory sprawled across strikingly hued compositions. Accordingly, the music video of the collection celebrates the kind of emotions that Virginia Woolf used to evoke through her stream of consciousness style of writing.

The collection amalgamates a vintage theatre of art with the modern grace of humility and empathy. It captures the moments of being, the ones that separate themselves from the other moments of non-being. It’s all about the powerfully heartfelt, poignant, and transcendental moments between the bride’s mother, the bride, and her brigade: the kind of moments that remain with us all our lives.

Mr. Raghav Mittal, COO, Surya Sarees, said, ‘‘our team strives everyday to provide brides with their dream wedding look. Its a priveledge to be a part of their celebrations and memories. Inaayat exemplifies the true beauty within each bride and portrays a fun and musical celebration which is a wedding. We are thankful to our artisans and karigars especially during times when production was affected. They have helped us bring out our design ideas into reality.”

 The concept and creative direction of this video has been done by Mr. Raghav Mittal himself. Kavita Seth, an Indian singer and a profound performer of Ghazals and Sufi music, is the playback singer of the video. Her legendary voice embodies the emotion of the collection in its most nuanced realisation. As we unfold the lehengas and their enigmatic details, we also get to rejoice in a truthful rendition of the evergreen “Ude Jab Jab Zulfen Teri”— the cover song of the video. The music video is so gracefully open-ended that it liberates the viewers into visualising their emotions with marriage, love, faith, and hope.

The Bridal Collection by Surya Sarees features the purest silk woven by the divinity-inspired craft of the artisans and upholds a unique sense of timelessness. Every piece of clothing from the collection reveals a rich blend of interconnectedness, love, and grace. The bridal collection got rooted in the richest hues of Red, Gold, Pink and White. It is subtle yet striking, trendy yet classic, unique yet familiar. Its exquisite, stunning, and gorgeous craftsmanship came into play to evoke the deepest layers of relationships that shine bright throughout a wedding – the purest of them being that of a mother and a daughter.
