Shakti Club Golden Jubilee Day Celebration #Blogaberrycc

By
The importance of being a part of a strong and tied community is undeniable. Just as I am grateful and fortunate to be a part of a powerful blogging community online, my social life bonding has found meaning with my ties with Shakti Club- an incredibly active Women's Club for the talented women of IIT Bombay ( non-students ). In 2025 Shakti Club completed its 50 glorious years of fabulous work, including various fund raising activities for destitute and underpivileged children. Amidst these social activitities we, at Shakti Club also make sure to celebrate various cultural activities and social get-togethers. Our motto of "Work hard and party harder" has taken us a long way and the 50th Anniversary day marked the celebratory landmark of our achievements through various cultural activities. Today I will elaborate on the Fashion shows that I was proud to be a part of, on that particular day.


India, a land of Unity in Diversity is the biggest democracy, a harmony of varied culture, food, and customs followed by various corners of the nation- united we stand amidst all our differences. This was the theme of the Fashion show of that day.  8 of us, represented 8 states of India, along with 8 specific cultural features. Starting from Kashmir, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh in the North to Maharashtra, Gujarat in the West to Bengal in the East and Telengana in the South- we covered the whole of India. 



The event concluded with our final fashion show- an amalgamation of various insects, depicting Ecodiversity and its impact on our Mother Nature. The stage was adorned with colourful outfits self-designed by us as we represented various insects like dragonfly, butterfly, moth, honeybee and ladybug. The showstopping fashion event of the day conveyed a deeper meaning through the vivid bright hues that each one of us had so much fun wearing and walking.


The day was truly celebratory and inspiring. Our fashion show not only entertained the audience, it left an everlasting impact with some valuable messages. The impactful Golden Jubilee Celebration day of Shakti Club was glorified by the presence of distinguished guests, including the wife of the Director of IIT Bombay, Mrs. Jahnavi Kedare.

Mushy Mushrooms, Mini Macaroons & 5 Whodunnit Murder Mysteries to Watch on My Breakfast Plate

By

As the mother of a fourth-grade student, my mornings start at 5:30 a.m. daily. Making breakfast and setting up lunchboxes keep me occupied during those hours and since I like to keep it simple for breakfasts, they generally get quite boring, with either bread toasts or chapattis. (common story of a lot of moms). Sometimes our wishes can go to an extravaganza and the longing for a due break with a lavish breakfast consisting of some creamy- buttery mushy mushrooms sprinkled with roasted garlic, some berry-flavoured mini macaroons and to top it all a thrilling, chilling old-fashioned Whodunnit Murder Mystery Movie playing on TV just makes things perfect. Sounds like quite a plateful right? Since we have already made a grand plan of how my breakfast plate is going to look, let's narrow down the list of Murder Mystery movies that can be included in my watchlist. 1. Knives Out (2019): Imagine digging your fork into a plateful of yummy creamy mushrooms, tuning into Daniel...

A couple of days back I watched a film, only to get a headache and I forgot its name too. But still, I watched it, some people won't change. Will they? Like nations in continuous wars and internal feuds -God knows what they get out of it. War has not done good for anyone ever. While their purpose is best known to them, my purpose as a cinema lover is to create a list of films that cover topics of Communal/Civil war and internal feuds:   1. The Killing Fields: I had no idea about the history of Cambodia, till I watched this 1984 film, during my mid-twenties. A nation that was absolutely devastated as a result of the killing of thousands of its citizens under the bloodthirsty Khmer Rouge reign - Killing Fields covered this history through the pen of a New York Times journalist and his Cambodian associate. The movie is difficult to watch due to the depiction of the horrid nature of the brutality that innocent people had to go through. Pran, the Cambodian journalist had to endeav...

Brenda Meets Ba & Bakul at the Beachy Bookstore #Blogchatterbloghop

"Myself Bakul from Baroda." A 30 something man approached Brenda. She was startled by the man's attire. She had never seen so many colours on a man before. She was left amused, "I am Brenda from New York." She could sense the man's nervousness. " You reporter?"  "Oh, yes, I work for the New York Flash." Brenda declared. The warm, cozy and colourful bookstore that they were in was very different from the usual ones. Situated by the sandy beach, it had a cafe, equally colourful. Even the books that adored the racks had been arranged in a rainbow themed pattern. Brenda quite liked the overall decor and theme. In fact she was planning to write about it in her next feature, when Bakul came. His outfit perfectly matched the cafe's overall theme. "Nice outfit." Brenda was not a pro at hiding her feelings. "Thanks, Ba's choice."  "Ba, is that your girlfriend?" "No no, grandmother." Suddenly the enti...
