The death of V.G Siddhartha Hegde


Today, India mourns the death of V.G Siddhartha Hegde, famously called The Coffee King of India. His contribution to Indian has been immense. His chain of cafes helped made coffee a lifestyle beverage. He also brought in various enriching varieties of coffee like latte, Cappuccino, Americano, espresso into the urban lexicon. With the launch of Cafe Coffee Day, he was called the entrepreneur of the year and was also entitled with the "Nextgen Entrepreneur" by Forbes list. A truly admirable personality that made India proud of his existence several times.
He was an inspiration for many and an active source of livelihood to others as well.
Siddhartha was born in the Malenadu region of Chikkamagaluru district in Karnataka State. He held a master's degree in economics from St. Aloysius College and Mangalore University, Karnataka. He was married to Malavika Krishna and had two children. 
He established his coffee trading company ABC in Karnataka 1993, with a Rs 60 million turnover.
He was the first entrepreneur to open the very first cafe in Karnataka. 

With CCD, He almost gave livelihood to 5 lakhs people across India.  He built an ideal model that probably worked for the roots of the most diversified country,  India. It not only provided employment to many but also caused good rotation of money in the Indian economy.  

Various controversies converge on his sudden suicide attempt because of the large personal debt that accrued on him. On his failure to account for the debt he owed, he committed suicide.   
However, this great man of might and intelligence should not only be adjudged on his attempt but on the vision that he carried for his business and India as a whole.

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra!  It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far  more convincing without the starry l...

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money. Son Pari is also entitled to save Fruity from Kali Pari ( the main villain). Everyone wishes to have a fairy godmother like Son Pari at some point in their lives. A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone  because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic. This s...

INDIAN MAKEUP TRENDS OVER THE YEARS

From Saira Banu in Padosan, Sridevi in Chandini, Karishma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai to our all time favourite Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and Mili in Khoobsurat, the fashion and makeup trends have been all fancy and crazy yet so aesthetic and elegant and these leading ladies are surely 'Goals'.  One of the most significant shifts that  have been observed over the years in the beauty industry is the ultimate evolution of make-up trends varying from vibrant and vivid looks to nude face concepts. Makeup can not be talked about separately when it comes to beauty and fashion,it is an expressive(and perceived to be expensive by men) art, which has evolved immensely over the past century and has vividly been an integral part of our culture. But what have been the major stages of this evolution? Let us take a dive in the past and follow up to the time of the millennials.  THE ERA OF SIMPLICITY(1910) -There was hardly any makeup and plain sarees with little or no de...
