  • Lessons from Edin Dzemat, a Star chef from Sweden

    Lessons from Edin Dzemat, a Star chef from Sweden

    January 21: Edin Dzemat is a professional chef and food consultant from Sweden. He started his career as a chef in 2010 from a restaurant named NOMA situated in Copenhagen, capital of Denmark. Ever since, this absolute genius has been stepping up the ladder of success vertically upwards. Just two years later in 2013, he won “This Year’s Werner” a prestigious prize in Sweden for chefs. From 2010-to 2015 he was the semi-finalist of the show “This Years Chef”. He didn’t stop, and in the same year, he even released his first cookbook by the name ‘Edin Dzemat’. He was made the Captain and given the responsibility to lead the Sweden Culinary Team in the same year and henceforth won 2nd place at World Cup in Luxemburg with Swedish Culinary Team in the year 2014. Thereafter he also won the prize ”Rising star” by White Guide for the year 2014. He then became the Ambassador of ‘Global Knives’ in the same year, and the thing just boomed in for him from there on.

    This Handsome Chef has had an amazing amazing journey, and all this was built from nothing but sheer hard work. We had a chance to get into conversation with this wizard, and he told us about his past, which was not very attractive, in fact, nobody had such a past and dream of achieving such a wholesome career. “I lived in Bosnia till I was 11 years old, and I have seen the aftereffects of the Bosnian War from my own eyes. I always wanted to be a chef, but Our family was not so financially strong, and I had no support. Thereafter I moved to Sweden to chase my dreams. I was all in for it.” Edin told us. He doesn’t believe in luck or talent- “Hard Work beats talent if talent doesn’t work hard – I knew it is me who will have to give 400-450 hours a week to get to my goal, and so I did, and here I am!”.

    In the year 2016, he became the Winner of the Swedish TV-program at TV4 ”Kockarnas Kamp”- professional chef’s competition and released his second book ”Gott med Dzemat” in the same year. After that he worked as Gastronomic chef at ”Brasserie by Edz” for the year 2016-2017. In the year 2017, he became TV chef at SVT 1 for the well-known program ”Stjärnorna på slottet”. Since then, he has been the most sought after chef in the whole of Sweden, and hence he started working as a food consultant and took up many advertisement campaigns with many TVs and international organisations like Zacapa, Caterpillar, Tullamore Whiskey and many more.

    When asked about – what is his advice for the budding chefs? He told us that- “People should first determine if their goal is really theirs or if it is just a result of pressure from their family and other people. Once they are sure if it is their own goal, then all they have to do is devote their mind and soul to that goal and work tirelessly till they do not achieve their goal. This is the only success mantra”. You can follow him on instagram (https://instagram.com/edindzemat?utm_medium=copy_link ), where he is really active and showcases this amazing life beautifully.

  • The Much Awaited short video-app Jai Bheem App to be Launched on the 26th of January

    The Much Awaited short video-app Jai Bheem App to be Launched on the 26th of January

    New Delhi (India), January 20: After months of waiting, the short video “Jai Bheem App” is finally set to be launched on Republic Day, i.e., the 26th of January, 2022, by the hand of Actor Manoj Bajpayee and Girish Wankhede, CEO of Jai Bheem App, an entertainment professional, renowned trade analyst, and well-known Bollywood personality recently announced its launch date.

    Girish Wankhede had launched the first look of the short-video app ‘nothing short of’, creating a huge buzz in the international arena amidst film celebrities and even the international media present at the event in Dubai. JAI BHEEM app aims to unleash the creativity of youth and hand-hold to lead them into the international competition by offering the short video creators a space to connect to anybody across the globe to create their identity. Therefore its first look was launched in Dubai to make it a global entity that is catering to the masses as well as classes as it has something for everybody with a combination of entertainment and entrepreneurship.

    Here’s what Mr Girish Wankhede said.

    “But we had to shift our launch due to the COVID situation. As soon as the teaser was released, we received an overwhelming response from everywhere. I was constantly on the call back then with friends and colleagues from the entertainment industry. They kept congratulating me on how I would benefit the whole industry with our Jai Bheem App and why I shouldn’t keep everyone waiting for long (Chuckles!). So, we planned to step up our launch preparation and targeted the November-December time frame. However, as destiny might have wanted, the news of Omicron and the third wave of Covid-19 started surfacing and that caused the delay. Now, in my opinion, nothing is more important than people’s safety and security. But the best part is we are now ready for its launch. And what better day than the day our nation celebrates it’s Republic Day. Jai Bheem short-video app is made in India by the people, of the people, and for the people. So you all can start downloading from the 26th of January onwards. Stay tuned.”

    Furthermore, we requested Mr Wankhede to share how this app could be a game-changer for the Youth.

    Girish added, “It is definitely going to be a game-changer for the youth. However, it’s not just Youth, but everyone with a talent to create something online can benefit massively from our Jai Bheem App. You see this as a short video app, but more than an app, it’s a platform—a platform that millions of creators don’t get in their lifetime. Jai Bheem App will give them their platform for free. All they need to do is produce their content and share it on the app. And the best part is all the creators can monetize their content. Isn’t that what our country needs? After all India is a nation of youths bubbling with energy and creativity.

    Jai Bheem App will support them to finally “Unleash Themselves.”

  • Meet Sheetal Shaparia, The Astrologer Guiding People To Achieve Success Using IChing Chinese Astrology

    Meet Sheetal Shaparia, The Astrologer Guiding People To Achieve Success Using IChing Chinese Astrology

    January 20: Every person in this world is unique and possesses some kind of qualities, for example, few are good in technology skills, some have a photographic memory, several others are pretty good singers even without proper training and so on but there are very few who are blessed with divine powers which they use for the welfare of others.
    Sheetal Shaparia, the Mumbai-based emotional wellness coach and astrologer, is one such person who has had special powers since childhood. Born into a famous business family from south Mumbai, she used to see dreams of being a true disciple of Lord Shiva living in New Delhi. As the time passed, the details of her dreams became clearer, and she also started foreseeing visuals of the incidents which didn’t even take place sometimes, these visuals used to be so clear that she even knew the date and time at which the incident would take place.

    Such experiences were quite difficult for a young girl to handle so she used to be restless and wasn’t able to sleep properly. Her parents also tried their best to ensure that their daughter at least got peaceful sleep in nights but nothing helped until she met a learned Jain saint on her 13thbirthday. The saint asked Sheetal Shaparia to practice meditation for channelling her energies on a regular basis and use the gift of her powers for the benefit of others. With time, Sheetal’s interest in Occult sciences kept on increasing, and she studied in the best universities of the world for gaining knowledge and to discover the psychic self.

    Sheetal Shaparia is an intuitive person who is an expert in various modalities such as IChing, Runes, Coffee Cup Reading, Tea Cup Reading, Wine/Beer Glass Reading, Numerology, Dream Interpretation, Tarot Card Reading, Crystal Reading, Vastu Shastra, Color Reading & Therapy, Candle Therapy, Drawing Analysis and Feng Shui.

    Sheetal has been working as an emotional wellness coach and astrologer since 1998, and in her career of more than two decades, she has helped out many people, including celebrities and VVIPs in achieving their desired goals and in living a happy and hassle-free life. Sheetal’s acumen and wisdom also enable her to create business plans for her clients, and her healing power has helped many who suffered a lot because of the difficulties they faced in life.

    Sheetal Shaparia is one of the very few Indians who have the knowledge of IChing Chinese astrology, which is one of the ancient ways of construing the near future. In IChing reading, the yarrow sticks and coins are used for making a series of six lines called hexagram, which gets broken into three lines called trigram. The readings in IChing are influenced by the leanings of an active masculine force called Yin and a passive female force called Yang, and the predictions regarding the future are made after doing calculations depending on the numbers carved on either end of the yarrow sticks.

    Sheetal Shaparia completed the Raymond Lo IChing Divination Course in the USA in order to gain knowledge and become an expert in this form of therapy.

    She is also an expert on Runes, an ancient form of Oracle used by the Germanic and Nordic tribes, but it is still very much prevalent in today’s times for the purpose of gaining insight into an issue or matter which is troubling the concerned person. Runes is not considered fortune-telling as it only indicates the possible answers to the questions, and Sheetal’s intuition enables her to work out the details for helping her client.

    Sheetal Shaparia has written many articles for some very famous and highly esteemed publications such as Cosmopolitan, Times of India, Grazia, Femina, Mumbai Mirror, Pune Mirror, Indian Express, The Pioneer, etc. and her videos related to astrology were also posted on India.com. Sheetal’s videos on astrological episodes can also be viewed on the DTH service provider Tata Sky. Sheetal Shaparia has also been honoured with various awards and recognitions such as the NDTV award, ET award etc.

    Over the years, Sheetal Shaparia has become the leading astrologer of the country who has a global client base, so if you are facing any problem or finding it difficult to handle the tough situations of life, don’t delay in making an appointment with her as she can help you get rid of your problems and achieve success in life.

  • The Journey Of Gaurang Doshi, A Man Who Rose Like A Phoenix After A Sabbatical From Films

    The Journey Of Gaurang Doshi, A Man Who Rose Like A Phoenix After A Sabbatical From Films

    January 20: Every cinema lover at some point or the other has definitely witnessed “Aankhen,” A film that not just changed our perspective towards the Shehnshah of Bollywood, aka, Mr. Amitabh Bachchan, But also changed the narrative of Indian cinema.

    The film went ahead to be a huge hit, and Mr.Bachchan in a negative role became an overnight rage for every cinema lover.

    Well, Today we bring to you the story of The Man who dared to imagine Amitabh Bachchan in his first negative character, The Man who changed the perception of how ‘Heroes’ in Bollywood were seen, The Man, who was once a 21 year old boy, with dreams as vast as the sky, and only 500 rupees in his bank. We are talking about Aankhen’s producer Gaurang Doshi.

    Gaurang, who, at the mere age of 16, stepped into the glamorous world of Bollywood and learnt the art of making films with films like Dil, Beta, Raja, which were produced by his father, the late Mr. Vinod Doshi, always had cinema running in his veins.

    A young boy with a passion for film making, Gaurang insisted his father let him produce a film on his own. With age and time grew his expertise which was fuelled with an undying passion for making films. At a very tender age, Doshi dreamt of giving Indian cinema a new turn when he thought of producing Aankhen.

    A film for which Gaurang was earlier questioned, trolled and ridiculed. The idea of changing the audience’s vision and perspectives of a ‘Hero,’ was why Gaurang was ridiculed. However, the young boy knew what he wanted and went right behind it.

    And like they say, the pathway to success is filled with hurdles. With all the ridiculing and questioning, the next hurdle which came Gaurang’s way was onboarding Amitabh Bachchan.

    The actor was not on good terms with Gaurang’s father, the late Vinod Doshi, which made it even more difficult for Gaurang to onboard him for Aankhen. However, Gaurang’s determination made the impossible happen.

    One fine day, with a leap of faith, Gaurang decided to barge in and meet Mr.Bachchan on the shoot of his film. He managed to grab 5 minutes of Mr.Bachchan, who then asked him to enter his dressing room. The aura and persona of Amitabh Bachchan increased Gaurang’s nervousness.

    However, the young, determined boy decided to go for it and told him that he wanted to do a film with him. When Mr.Bachchan asked him to narrate his script in 4 words, he asked Mr.Bachchan if he could call his director. However, the director decided to not come out of his car, out of sheer nervousness. Amitabh, who was not convinced with this behaviour of the director, asked Gaurang as to how will the director direct his film.

    Which was when, Gaurang, with the permission of Mr. Bachchan, narrated the script of his film in four lines. “A schizophrenic man who was thrown out of his own bank made the perfect alibi to rob it with 3 blind men,” said Gaurang.

    Mr.Bachchan, who was taken aback for a second, immediately approved of doing the film. Happiness knew no bounds for Gaurang, who then signed a cheque to Mr.Bachchan and revealed that even though he has only 500 rupees in his account right now, he will make sure that his dues are cleared in a week.

    Gaurang’s dedication took Mr.Bachchan by surprise, and he accepted the cheque. And well, with Aankhen becoming a huge hit, the rest is certainly, History.

    Gaurang, who was also felicitated with 7 national and international awards for his film ‘Sandstorm,’ decided to take a break from producing films. “I keep Passion and Money in two different boxes. Passion comes first for me, Films are my passion,” said Gaurang, explaining why his divorce made him take a sabbatical from producing films.

    The producer has now, however bounced back and has started afresh. Talking about the rough patch in his life, Gaurang revealed that after the success of Aankhen, he bonded well with Mr.Bachchan and also went ahead to call him his ‘Godfather.’
