A new coffee table book consists of beautiful color images which give a rare and delightful glimpse into the fifty most beautiful houses from every corner across India, giving the reader a rich and luxuriant experience of a wide range and scope of styles and genres. A house is a living space that is self-defining and reflects the architect’s personal approach and architectural sense developed in his decades-long experience of working and teaching.

It identifies works that largely represent current trends and tastes, across the country, from metro cities to second and third tier cities and towns.

Most of the projects showcased in the volume, enable us to observe many of the characteristics that constitute an overview of the current state of architecture and design in India, making this volume of immense interest to architects, interior designers and students of this discipline. 

With over 50 handpicked designs which broadly define contemporary residential design in India. Ultimately, the houses presented in this volume all share a similar objective – to formalize environments that are suited to a particular function or lifestyle, as well as to respond to the needs of the clients, without compromising the design and aesthetics.

Focused on explaining the details and exclusivity of each house, the introduction to this title is by none other than renowned senior architect Mr. Alfaz Miller. The book is an outcome of an intense research work, making it an assimilation of truly unique, exquisite and stand-alone properties in India.

My parents and family were never afraid to send me out till late night when I was in college: Nushrat Baroocha

On the special occasion of International Women's Day, actress Nushrat Baroocha popularly known for her roles from the films ‘Pyar Ka Punchnama 1 & 2’ as well as her latest release ‘Sonu Ke Titu Ki Sweety’, said that she is proud to be a girl and that women can achieve whatever they set their eyes on. Nushrat was invited as a guest for an event celebrating Women's Day in Oshiwara, Mumbai, hosted by MukkaMaar an organization that aims at empowering girls through free martial-arts and self-defense training, powered by The Spartan Poker, India's leading poker gaming portal. 

Actress Ishita Sharma known from movie ‘Dil Dosti Etc,’ who started the MukkaMaar organization along with a martial arts expert Alex Fernandes to train children in martial arts, taekwondo and self-defense invited Nushrat to talk about her childhood, growing years and becoming the independent and progressive woman that she is now. Nushrat met the MukkaMaar girls and shared her experiences, she said, “I am very privileged that I am a girl. When I was in college, my parents and family were very comfortable with me staying out late at night, but then when they heard of incidents they started worrying, I tried learning martial arts for self-defense as well but unfortunately couldn’t continue. But now, I run my house, I earn my own bread and butter and I live by myself. Women today are empowered and we can achieve whatever we set our hearts to. It’s really important that girls from a very young age are trained to care for themselves by themselves and that’s where martial arts is necessary now. So I would like to tell all the MukkaMaar girls that continue learning this and do not stop come what may.”

फेसबुक हॅकिंगच्या प्रकाराने सावनी धास्तावली!!

सावनी रवींद्र आपल्या सगळ्यांची लाडकी झाली  तू मला, मी तुला.." या  गाण्याला तिने दिलेल्या गोड आवाजामुळे. गुरुवार ची सकाळ, सावनी खडबडून जागी झाली, जेव्हा तिने ई-मेल वाचले, ज्यात तिचा अकाउंट हॅक झाल्याचा  उल्लेख होता.
सूत्रांनी दिलेल्या माहितीनुसार, सावनी चे  फेसबुक पेज आधल्या रात्रीच हॅक झालं होतं, पण रात्रं असल्यामुळे ते तिच्या लक्षात नाही आलं. आपलं फेसबुक पेज कोणीतरी हॅक केलाय हे सावनीला  समजताच, तिने ताबडतोब फेसबुकच्या मुख्य कार्यालयात आपली तक्रार नोंदवली. 
सुदैवाने, हॅकरने काहीही पोस्ट केले नाही आणि आता खाते नवीन पासवर्डसह सुरक्षित केले गेले आहे. 
सावनी म्हणते, " सेलिब्रिटि अकाउंट्सची हॅकिंगची प्रकरणे दिवसेंदिवस वाढत आहेत. काही महिन्यांपूर्वी माझ्या एका मैत्रिणीचा अकाउंट हॅक झाला होतं. तिची माहिती व नाव बदलण्यात आलं होतं. नशिबाने माझ्या बाबतीत असा अनुचित प्रकार घडला नाही. पण हे खरोखरच भयानक आहे एखाद्या कलाकारासाठी त्याचं सोशल मीडिया अकाउंट हॅक होणं. आमचा अकाउंट १चा दुरुपयोग होऊ शकतो. अशा आहे, ह्याचा पुढे असं होणार नाही. मी आधीच संबंधित लोकांकडे याची नोंद केली आहे आणि मला खात्री आहे की हॅकर लवकरच पकडला जाईल. "

रोहितला एकूण ३ गटात नामांकने होती, त्यापैकी २ गटात, परीक्षकांच्या बहुमतांनी, त्याने पुरस्कार पटकावले.

आनंद व्यक्त करताना रोहित म्हणतो, " हे वर्ष माझ्यासाठी खूप खास होतं. मला प्रत्येक टप्प्यावर पाठिंबा दिला तो म्हणजे माझ्या संगीत क्षेत्रातील दिग्गजांनी, माझ्या मित्रांनी आणि अर्थात घरच्यांनी. त्यांनी माझ्यावर केलेलं जीवापाड  प्रेम आणि त्यांचा माझ्यावर असलेला विश्वास मी कधीही विसरू शकणार नाही. मला मिळेलेले पुरस्कार हे माझ्यासाठी अधिक चांगलं काम करण्याचं प्रोत्साहन असतं व माझ्या परीने मी नक्कीच उत्तम काम करत राहीन.”
