  • Pownut Launches Homegrown Protein Supplements

    Surat (Gujarat) [India], December 17: Surat-based company ‘Pownut healthcare’ has launched 3 varieties of protein powder for men, women and children. Pownut’s BUILD UP Whey protein isolate supplements serve the gym-going men who are looking for strong muscles. The SHAPE UP line of Soya supplement is for women who are fitness conscious and weight watchers. POWNUT GROW helps kids get what they need for all-around development.

    Mr Kuldip, Pownut’s CEO, said – We are glad to bring this line of product as most of the fitness enthusiasts have to rely on imported brands that cost them a fortune. All this while, our R&D has focussed on keeping the quality high with the affordability factor in mind. We have decided to stay away from artificial sweeteners as our focus was to keep the product all-natural.

    Most of the protein products in the market are manufactured keeping the westerners in mind, but Pownut’s products have been formulated keeping the Indian consumers at the centre. Indians rely on a mixed diet from their childhood. So when they intake raw protein supplements, it causes them bloating and indigestion. Alongside raw protein, Pownut has added essential vitamins that help in better absorption.

    The initial launch of the brand will start with the chocolate flavour for all the categories, and then after 15 days, the vanilla flavour will be launched. Pownut’s protein buckets will be available in 200gm and 100gm.

    On asking about the future plans, Mr Kuldip said that they have plans to launch 250, 500 and 1Kg packs. They are also looking towards opening retail stores to give their brand a physical presence. Pownut will go for collaborations and to push their product further.

  • Vision and Confidence is the key that’s needed to grow : Alisha Sah

    December 17: Road to expertise is never an easy one, and fulfilling a vision along the uphill battle to take makeup to a new extreme is no less than a dream that millions of artists hold on to in their to-do list. Some remain unfulfilled, and some break down midway. But one such adventurous makeup artist who has to hold on to it tightly and take every step to accomplish it is a small-town young and passionate Alisha Sah.

    Alisha Sah believes in expression in her own form.

    “Rather than creating an illusion of a glamorous woman, she redefines the art by making her client feel confident and beautiful.

    Sometimes she uses bright colors to express while most days, it could be bare and minimum yet chique and beautiful. It’s all about the client’s idea of expression.

    Now aiming to revolutionize the entire self-care care industry, she is back in the game with a new concept of Skip Salon that will be on the floor soon. Talking about skincare, we tried to get some beauty secrets out. And the only and most important that she swears by is Never, ever, sleep in your makeup!” Yes, that’s the first step towards your skincare routine.

    With the wedding season setting in we asked for a few tips and tricks for the pre-wedding skincare plan to get that glowing skin before D-Day. She said, “Keeping track of the timeline leading up to your wedding day is really important. It is important to follow a routine much in advance. She does not believe inexpensive skincare treatments and procedures, which is not affordable for every bride. She said, “Routine must start from home and should cover all aspects like your diet and your beauty regime.

    Consult a dietician who can chalk out a diet plan that works best for you or even you can simply start at home. Eat simple, homemade, and healthy.”

    She also quoted that she cannot emphasize enough on hydration. Hydration is the key to glowing skin.

    Alisha Sah dreams of a vision that does not confine herself to just a glittery eye or a blushed cheek; she believes in creating magic through her art.

  • Bollywood PR guru Dale Bhagwagar says, “Vicky-Katrina no threat to Ranveer-Deepika. However, Ranbir-Alia could be!”

    December 17: “All those Twitter trolls claiming that Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif’s newfound popularity as a couple is a threat to the other power couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone are totally wrong,” stated PR guru Dale Bhagwagar on BollywoodPR.in this week.

    The thought had stemmed on Twitter after Ranveer publicly kissed Deepika at an airport, making the social media claim that he was seeking attention out of insecurity since all of the media’s attention was going to Vicky Kaushal and Katrina Kaif after their wedding.

    But the legendary Bollywood publicist Dale Bhagwagar remarked that “Vicky and Katrina are both shy and too chilled out in comparison to the overtly hyper-flamboyant Ranveer and gritty Deepika. Even their wedding was a relatively quiet affair. No doubt that they are currently the flavour of the season. But giving Brand Ranveer-Deepika strong competition in the long run in the media circles, is something that can easily be ruled out.”

    Explaining the public perception and overall brand positioning of the celebrity couples, he said, “The nature, personality and the perception of people and brands does not change overnight. Neither is one of the partners among Vicky and Katrina such that he/she would influence the other in becoming more media-savvy.”

    However, Dale made it a point to add, the currently silent combo of Alia-Ranbir can be a different story. “While Alia is outspoken like her father Mahesh Bhatt, Brand Ranbir Kapoor is a dark horse. He is not only well read, but also a band mutthi which the media has been waiting to explore for a long time now. If he opens up and gets media-savvy, then Ranbir-Alia could be the power couple giving solid takkar to Ranveer-Deepika.”

    Staying ahead of the curve with revolutionary PR strategies, Dale Bhagwagar is the most famous Bollywood publicist ever. A simple Google search in his name brings up thousands of results.

    Popularly known as Bollywood’s only PR guru, Dale Bhagwagar tops the list as the best Bollywood publicist in India for having introduced the maximum PR trends in the entertainment industry. His futuristic PR methods often set the agenda for the entertainment public relations industry for the times to come.

    Over the years, his Mumbai-based PR agency Dale Bhagwagar Media Group has handled the media for more than 300 personalities, including the industry’s topmost names such as Hrithik Roshan, Shilpa Shetty and Priyanka Chopra, publicity for some 30 movies, including the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Don and Farhan Akhtar-starrer Rock On, and crisis management for an unprecedented number of 20 Bigg Boss contestants.

    Speaking on the issue, Rupali said, “Vikram introduced me to Priyanka Yadav as his sister. When I came to know that Priyanka Yadav is nowhere related to him and they were having an extramarital affair, further to that, I was constantly threatened by Vikram. He used to say that Priyanka has a connection in politics, and they will make me vanish. In fact, all his entertainment’s financial transactions were done from my accounts. He constantly tortured me by having unnatural intercourse against my will, and he used to beat and abuse me.”

    She further added, Vikram Dhakatode was previous married to Pratiksha dhaktode, and I have heard that the same kind of thing happened to Vikram’s ex-wife as it happened to me. He used to abuse her, beat her and torture her as well. Even Pratiksha did a police complaint; She has all the proof of Vikram Dhakatode abusive behaviour.

    Accused Vikram always intimidated the complainant ‘Rupali’ by saying political arena. Rupali has revealed everything and has taken action by filing a complaint. Earlier, Vikram Dhakatode was also arrested by the police for allegedly cheating producer and actor Amol Kagne. He was arrested for allegedly cheating Amol Kagne for Rs 30 lakh by showing him a false lure.

    The Panvel Police have arrested filmmaker Dhakatode under sections 377 (Unnatural offences), 498 A(Husband or relative of husband of a woman subjecting her to cruelty), 420 (Cheating), 406 (Punishment for criminal breach of trust), 323 (Punishment for criminal breach of trust), 504 (Whoever intentionally insults, and thereby gives provocation to any person), and 506 (Punishment for criminal intimidation)of the Indian Pinal Code.

  • Pooja Hemdev Lalwani Launches her Debut Book, ‘Common Birds of Mumbai – Not Just a Field Guide’

    Founder of Roots Nature Club helps kids develop a passion for nature in a fun and educational way through her debut book

    Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 17: Pooja Hemdev Lalwani is a Biodiversity Conservationist and Founder of Roots Nature Club – a community that fosters knowledge and appreciation for nature and wildlife amongst children. In her constant effort to contribute to environmental conservation and awareness, Pooja launched her debut book ‘Common Birds of Mumbai – Not Just a Field Guide’ at her delightfully unique “not just a book launch” this week in Mumbai.

    As the title suggests, Common Birds of Mumbai is a pictorial field guide to 174 species of birds found in Mumbai (resident and migratory). It piques the readers’ interest with fun trivia and other educational and awareness-building topics like Wild Bird SOS, Tips for Bird Identification, etc. The book is divided into colour codes for ease of use, and each species is depicted with different male and female silhouettes, its common name, scientific name, size and habitat indication. This book is for anyone and everyone and keeps the reader engaged and excited to learn more about nature and the wonders it has to offer. The book launch matched the book’s uniqueness – involving engaging activities at an on-brand outdoor venue. It started with the author, Pooja, sharing the ethos behind Roots and her book, followed by a bird-themed bingo consisting of some interesting trivia and delightful giveaways, and ended with a live musical performance by the young and talented Mahi and Neel Menon, aged 13 and 15 respectively. The launch was attended by accredited conservationists, ground-level environmentalists, wildlife photographers, nature enthusiasts, prominent names from the field of education, and other nature preservation enthusiasts.

    The approach towards the education of young children has evolved over the years – gone are the days of mere memorization and reiteration. Today, educators are inclined to engage children with reading material that not only helps them understand the subject matter but also develop a more personal relationship with it. This is precisely the approach that Pooja has taken with her book. Pooja says, “A lifelong interest in nature and science can only be inculcated when children develop a keen interest in the world around them and are curious about the environment and its inner workings. ‘Common Birds of Mumbai’ aims to achieve exactly this by being an interactive, fun, and engaging book that invites kids and even adults to not only learn about birds and take up birding as a hobby but also to   encourage children to be passionate about nature and discover their relationship with it.”

     Dr. Vandana Lulla, Director, Podar International School, Mumbai, said, “The beautiful pictures and interactive exercises make the book very comprehensive for kids. It is simple, easy to understand, and clearly laid out – which makes it easy to grasp the information.” The book nudges the reader to understand nature’s patterns, seasons, changes in the environment and in the longer-term – answer some of the most pressing questions of today regarding climate change, endangered wildlife and more.

    Radhika Rajgarhia, Primary School Principal, Ascend International School, Mumbai, said, “Getting kids acquainted with nature is extremely important, which is why our students also get a monthly copy of the Roots WildScribe Newsletter. This book is a great way for kids to learn about the wildlife that exists in their very own city!”

    Children are not only the biggest stakeholders of our planet, but they are also the ones who can introduce the most fundamental change in preserving nature, as they are undoubtedly our future. Education that inculcates a love for nature at a young age is perhaps one of the best ways to ensure that the next generation is environmentally conscious and works to make our world more sustainable. This philosophy led the author to not only write the book but is also the driving force behind her not for profit organization, Roots Nature Club. Roots strives to reconnect urban kids with the wild through fun and engaging workshops and seminars. This passion for spreading knowledge and facilitating a connection between individuals and nature reflects through the book, which is not only informative but also exciting enough to engross kids and adults alike. After reading Common Birds of Mumbai, Parveen Hashmi, nature enthusiast and wife of Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi said, “I identified a grassland bird the other day – I’m happy to be able to identify more than just crows, kites and parakeets. I’m glad to be able to sit with my child, look out the window and learn about the birds that we see. It is a great bonding experience.”
