    An England-based publication house releases Pranay Patil’s debut novel ‘Burgundy Winters in Europe’ – Primex News Network

    New Delhi (India), March 29: Pranay Vivek Patil has launched his debut novel ‘Burgundy Winters: in Europe’. The novel, released by an England-based publishing house, Crystal Peake, presents a perspective of an American rockstar dealing with the consequences of his partying lifestyle after his bandmate overdosed in his arms.

    For Patil, it is a hobby that allows him the chance to explore his boundaries. “Writing is an experience for me of demystifying things and renewing reality through the medium of a story. “I feel whole and revitalised every time I finish a novel,” he says. “Writing is an integral aspect of my identity because it enables me to break free from the constraints of social norms.”

    He said it took him nearly a year to write the book “Burgundy Winters: in Europe,” When his work hit the market, he felt that familiar feeling of restoration he had come to expect after long hours of pecking away at the keyboard.

    “Burgundy Winters: in Europe” tells the narrative of Jace Tanner, an American rock star who must deal with the consequences of his partying lifestyle when his bandmate Aiden overdosed in his arms. As he tries to cope with the horrors of losing someone so close to him, Jace finds himself spiralling into a dismal and overpowering hole. He soon discovers that there is a new girl in his life who may be able to help him pull himself out of this newly formed pit of despair. They start dating, but their relationship quickly takes a spooky turn.

    “As I completed the story and people loved the book, I believe it has given me a new perspective and so many things to cherish in life,” says Patil.

    After its debut in the United Kingdom in early March, the book earned quick acclaim with excellent reviews from major reviewers. It’s been an eye-opening experience for the first-time author, who hopes to utilise his expertise to aid others considering publishing their work.

    One of the essential pieces of advice Patil gives aspiring writers is to be wary of publishers who see first-time authors as a gold mine. He also cautioned that some self-publishing organisations overcharge first-time authors and that it is all too easy to fall prey to a scam when dealing with self-publishing.

    “Aspiring authors should be cautious and thoroughly verify everything before agreeing to anything,” he advises. “Kevin and Nikki are amazing people who were helpful throughout the process. “They pick a few books and devote their entire heart and soul to them until they are a success,” he explains. “I do not doubt that they are in it for the long haul with each author, not for the quick buck.” This incident has forever altered my perception of the publishing industry.”

    Patil attributes his writing ability well to his lifelong habit of reading literary periodicals, especially his favourites, Writer’s Digest and Publishers Weekly. But, as he develops the tale, he claims that being able to feel a broad range of emotions is the real key to creating something brilliant.

    Patil was immersed in the culture of Germany, where he was residing at the time he wrote the narrative, to find much of the emotion that runs through it, which helped him appreciate those characteristics of Europe. As he considered the readers who might one day connect with the protagonist’s perspective and the tones of the female characters in the book, he said he took extra attention to crafting the protagonist’s perspective and the tones of the female characters in the book.

    “Burgundy Winters: in Europe” is available in print and digital forms on Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

    Alembic Real Estate gives Vadodara its first 22nd Floor Building – Primex News Network

    (L to R) Mr. Avneesh Nath Sharma, President & Mr. Udit Amin, Director, Alembic Real Estate

    March 29: Typically, the Vadodara real estate market has been associated with bungalows, villas, and duplexes. However, the low-rise landscape of the city is fast changing. There has been an increasing preference for high-rise living with all its associated conveniences and amenities in the last few years. Expansive views, excellent natural ventilation and sunlight, easier maintenance, lower utility costs, and enhanced security are just some advantages.

    Alembic Veda is just not the first 22 storied building of Vadodara, but the building has some exclusive environment-friendly features, reducing carbon and making the building a green building.

    Alembic Group is always committed to Environment, be it planting and nurturing 10k plus trees in its various establishments. Taking the legacy ahead, we at Alembic Real Estate’s VEDA II have constructed a dual plumbing system, where the first system is for Corporation water supply while the second system will supply treated water which is treated, purified and valuable in day to day activities like flushing toilets and other daily chores. The treated water is also used to maintain lush green surroundings in the apartment premises.

    The entire project has a rainwater harvesting system, which helps store the rainwater and maintain water levels of the premises. At Veda II, solar infrastructure is installed for the electrification of street lights inside the premises. We have used Fly Ash in construction, thus contributing to the conservation of the environment.

    Alembic Real Estate has kept abreast of the new trends, with the launch of 22 stored projects. VEDA II was launched in 2019, and KIARA was launched in July 2021. Artistically designed residences that ensure peace, privacy, and spaciousness, both are exclusive multi-story projects with mesmerising views of the skyline of Vadodara.

    Veda II is now the tallest building to grace the city skyline. With the completion of construction on the 22nd slab, Veda II – one of the premium residential towers in the delightful environs of Chhani – is now the tallest building in Vadodara. This critical milestone makes Alembic Real Estate the forerunner of high-rise living in Vadodara.

    The total No. of Flats are 367 plus 1 refuge flat for emergency escape. We have a proper Fire Hydrant system, with a Hydrant riser, landing valve, Hose box & Hose reel at each tower on each floor area. We also have a Sprinkler system on the Stilt floor for car parking at each building and, most notably, in each flat. Apart from these, there is a DG backup system for Lifts, Staircase lights, Tower Common/lift lobby area lights, External/landscape area lights, pump room lights, Foyer lights, Fire Pump, Domestic pumps, Security cabin, Club House, Sewage Treatment Plant & lights.

    Since 1907, the Alembic Group has unflinchingly pursued a singular goal ‘To enhance the quality of life through high-quality products and services. This is evident in every product manufactured by Alembic Pharmaceuticals Ltd., our flagship company, and our diversified business portfolio, including healthcare, glassware, engineering, and chemicals. Alembic Real Estate is building upon this heritage of excellence, trust and professionalism.

    At Alembic Real Estate, we understand the challenges of modern society and develop projects that address these issues. Thus to balance a chaotic lifestyle and rapidly degrading environment, we design and build elegant, tranquil and inspiring spaces for people to live, work and play.

    Alembic Real Estate was started in 2009. In the last decade, we have been continuously committed to creating unique living spaces for the modern age, having completed and handed over projects of over 30,50,000 square feet. With a dedicated commitment to on-time delivery and the consistent excellence of construction quality, Alembic is now a trusted name in the real estate market, with over 1,800 satisfied customers.

    Future Developments

    A growing trend in the residential real estate market is integrated living, where all the needs of daily life are met without having to commute long distances. Communities where residents can live among people with similar values and lifestyles. Where natural surroundings merge seamlessly with living and working spaces.

    The communities of the future are sustainable and inherently energy efficient. Alembic Real Estate is actively involved in creating spaces of hyperlocal living, where all life’s necessities are within easy reach.

  • Educationist & innovator Dr. Sunita Gandhi develops new pedagogy ‘Global Dream –ALfA – Primex News Network

    Educationist & innovator Dr. Sunita Gandhi develops new pedagogy ‘Global Dream –ALfA – Primex News Network

    New Delhi (India), March 28: Travelling from Lucknow to India’s capital New Delhi, a surprise squadron of Kindergarten to Grade 2 students addressed a press conference at the Press Club of India , to help the world solve one its greatest problems in education – that of universal literacy and numeracy.

    The jaws dropped as these dozen little 5-7-year-olds read out passages randomly selected by the audience from the day’s newspapers in both English and Hindi. They further demonstrated their one-grade-up mathematical skills. They have learned these foundational skills in just 30 hours over three months followed by practice for fluency. Not just them, most of their classmates are doing equally well, this despite school closures most of the last two years due to COVID.

    Dr Sunita Gandhi, the program creator of the groundbreaking pedagogy ‘Global Dream Toolkit’ which incorporates the ‘Accelerating Learning for All’ (ALfA), is a well-known educator whose family runs the world’s largest school.

    Speaking on the occasion, Gandhi said: “The classic problem in education has been that of speed. Global Dream Toolkits counters the notion that it takes three plus years to make a child capable of reading and basic numeracy. When children learn rapidly, it expands capacities, and creates new possibilities. The world can now become literate in months, not years, or decades. One more year without rapid gains in learning can be disastrous. Education is a worldwide emergency. Urgent action is required today, not tomorrow.”

    These little ambassadors for literacy demanded that the policy-makers treat education as an emergency, ensure foundational literacy and numeracy for all children, and do it within this year using disruptive methods as they have used to learn quickly.

    Universal literacy and numeracy is a Sustainable Development Goal. According to UNICEF, education loss is ‘nearly unsurmountable’. In low- and middle-income countries, learning losses due to school closures have left up to 70 per cent of 10-year-olds unable to read or understand a simple text, up from 53 per cent pre-pandemic.In the US, learning losses have been observed in many states. In Texas, for example, two-thirds of children in Grade 3 tested below their grade level in math in 2021, compared to half of children in 2019.

    To acquire these skills rapidly, the children have used the Global Dream Toolkit which also includes  the Accelerating Learning for All (ALfA) pedagogy. Each study module is a self-teacher. Children learn in pairs. Teachers prompt the children to their tasks, but do not teach. Almost anyone can be a teacher.

    Global Dream is available in twenty-five of the world’s languages including Swahili, Arabic, French, Spanish, English,Urdu, Gujarati and others. The goal by the end of 2022 is to replicate them in 100 languages of the world.

    Currently, the Val Verde County in California is trying out ALfA literacy, and the Cucamonga School District, also in California, is beginning with numeracy. The program has been endorsed by Literacy Chicago for adult literacy. It is beginning to be adopted through partnerships across Africa, Latin America and other parts of the world. A Global Advisory Committee for Disruptive Literacy consists of members from some fifteen countries, and includes legendary educators Ernesto Schiefelbein of Chile and Aïcha Bah Diallo of Guinea.

    Menka Sharma, a teacher using these groundbreaking methods said, “Global Dream is transformative. This will become the way of the future. The learning process is joyful and liberating for the children and the teacher. The children decode and blend by themselves. There is no need to measure learning gaps or personalize learning. Almost all of the children grow above grade level at extraordinary speed. We can never go back to the tedious methods of the past. Besides, the ALfA processes integrate the 21st Century Skills of Character, Citizenship, Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, and Critical Thinking.”

    The children were accompanied by their parents. Kanika Jain, the mother of 5-year-old Ridhima said, “ALfA is working like magic. The children are highly motivated. They understand more, and learning is exploding.”

    A senior bureaucrat and former Chief Secretary of India’s largest state Uttar Pradesh, Alok Ranjan, said: “When I was coming down from the corridor of these kids’ school, I went to the various classrooms and talked to these children and made them read, and they were reading as fluently as they are reading in front of you, almost all of them. So that is remarkable.”
