    Are Small Businesses running the show?!

    What do you think? Is it a small business or major big brands that have gained confidence in the market? I know there is no comparison; but don’t you think the pandemic has taught us enough. This pandemic (if you notice a silver lining) has forced us to ponder and reflect upon our passion, hobbies either for fun or for generating income. Many of us have suffered financially in some or another way. Since small businesses have come into the picture, we have gained confidence in the same. People selling food, accessories, clothes, etc which is prepared either locally or with the help of family is a much better proposition…don’t…

    What are you drinking first thing in the morning?

    What is the first drink of the day…are you only relying on water? What you need is something that would kick start your day and work on your body all day. These are two-valued drinks that I have first thing after I wake up which has helped me immensely! Jeera Water (Cumin water) is one of the most effective drink that not only boosts your immunity but provides innumerable benefits to all ages. Jeera water can either be prepared at night by soaking a few seeds overnight in a glass full of water or can be consumed in the morning like tea by boiling a few seeds. Some of its…

    Folklores – Artisan tales…Beautiful Handcrafted Jewellery at your doorstep!

    We have all appreciated and found comfort in the brands that we love, but there is so much more out there. These are small businesses that most of us don’t know exist and sell exclusive products mostly hand-made or self-designed. These products (as per my experience) are always reasonably priced and only seek out appreciation or financial help. The effort put into these businesses is genuine and the aim is to live in between the competition and provide the best of their capability. I have always supported the new small businesses be it the “Barefood Healthy Snacks” or Folklores…they always have so much to offer. The best part about them…

    Walk your Way to Better Lifestyle!!

    An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day – Henry David Thoreau. I would not call myself a gym or workout enthusiast but the current pandemic scenario has changed my perspective about exercising and after trying almost everything, I believe and really encourage walking! Walking may sound simple and those who are looking at shedding a few pounds may feel it be a waste of time or effort since it’s simple and takes its own time. But let me tell you, it’s not always about losing weight. You may gym rigorously for a few days and diet but does that give you inner happiness. If it does,…

    Build Immunity…Go Fish! Delicious and Healthy Rava Fish recipe!!

    I have always been a huge fan of a well-cooked fish. Have almost tried all kinds available in India and now since i had moved to Dubai i am exploring a few more kinds. King Fish or Surmai or Seer fish (there are many more names of this fish in India itself) is one of the most common and easily available fish in Dubai.

I have tried various ways of preparing King Fish..however, I would like to share one of the most delicious ways…

    One of My Favorite Indian Restaurant…now in Dubai!! Faasos!!

    Faasos owned by Rebel Foods is an Indian “Food on Demand ” restaurant which has a few outlets in Dubai. This is another example of a Dark kitchen that is super popular in India. I found “Faasos” on Zomato here in Dubai. They have extremely low rates and offer comfort food like wraps, rolls, biryani, and much more. They have been popular for their wraps or rolls and have a few signature options varying in each state of India. However, since it was my first time with Faasos in Dubai I chose their best selling options. Taste and Hygiene Wraps and rolls are the best options to be relished; full…

    Say Goodbye to Stress and Anxiety…….Tea for Well-being!

    Well-being with Tea is a common term used for centuries…teas contain certain effective anti-oxidants and health-enhancing properties which is a boon in today’s age. Stress and anxiety have taken over our lives in a drastic way, and due to rigid schedules, we hardly find time for ourselves to heal our body and mind. I have been part of such a life where I used to spend a minimum of 12 hours a day and by evening my mind used to be completely drained out. I found respite with teas …..and a hot cup of tea before you sleep is really a refreshing and the most relaxing method to bring on…
