Heal Before You Enter A New Relationship -Dr Anju Sharma

Heal Before You Enter A New Relationship -Dr Anju Sharma
Heal Before You Enter A New Relationship -Dr Anju Sharma

If you are looking for love in a healthy relationship, there are times when you have to deal with the underlying issues from the past — like a fear of rejection or engulfment or maybe not able to move on from the previous relationships which further leads to uncertainty in your future relationships.Nothing is constant, not even relationships, some relationships come and stays forever and some leaves. When these relationships leave it has a strong impact on our mind, body and emotions. Sometimes, these impact paves the way to certain diseases like cancer.  So, this ask yourself, are you over your past or still it’s bothering you. If yes, below is your TO- DO- List this Valentine’s day by Dr Anju Sharma,  Psychiatrist, Sound & Energy Master, Wellness-Holistic Coach  and Founder of the Musical Healing Band named “Sound of Infinity”.

  1. Closure of past relationships – The need for closure doesn’t just apply to relationships but sometimes to the death of a loved one or a way of life can be a painful ending. Letting go of something that was once dear to you can be tough, and many people seek closure in doing so. When we seek closure we are actually looking for answers to the loss which will help in healing the pain it has created. The closure is achieved when we are satisfied with the answers and are able to move on.
  1. Communicate–Communication is an important part of the healing process. It is very important to talk out the feelings and emotions within before they start to take control of our mind. During this time the emotions can overwhelm your clarity and can lead you to break down in tears and create an anxiety attack. But, when you learn how to communicate those feelings, it causes a chain reaction and allows you to ease up the tension building within. Ensure you communicate peacefully and not argue. Arguing will only add up to your stress level.
  1. Take a break and meet new people– Taking a break or going on a vacation will make you feel less anxious, more rested and in a better mood. Taking a break from your routine has numerous health benefits for both your mind and body. Meeting new people and knowing them helps you to distant yourself from the past. It promotes happiness and takes your mind off stressful situations.
  1. Don’t lock yourself – Never lock yourself in a room. This way you will never heal and will never make a room for a new relationship. By locking yourself in a room and suffering silently, you are punishing yourself. You need to continue taking care of your mind, body and emotion. Focus on things you love to pursue and spend some quality time with your loved ones.
  1. Connect with nature–There is a sense of enchantment in the beauty of nature. Immersing oneself can offer short term as well as long term benefits for your mental and physical well-being. Being in a natural set up reduces your stress level and boost the immune system. It further helps in recovering from illness and that is why you will see hospitals and other medical institutes having a garden in their premises. A small exposure to nature can increase your energy level and make you feel fresh and alive.
  1. Analyze past situations and understand the mistakes – To get over the past relationship(s), you need to analyze what went wrong in those relations, whose fault it was, how things could have been different. In case, the fault was from your end, then you need to accept it full-heartedly and work on your short-comings so that such a mistake is not repeated in you’re the future relationship. If the mistake is from the opposite side, then try to communicate and put a peaceful closure to it.
  1. Take therapy – With all the above-mentioned measures, you can consult a therapist or an expert who will help you in overcoming the past relationships. Therapies like sound therapy and meditation help to ooze out the negative energy within, making you feel alive.

Chief Guest, Dr. Chandra Bhanu Satpathyji, Founder Chairman of Shirdi Sai Global Foundation, lit the ceremonial lamp to inaugurate the program.

On this auspicious day of Maa Saraswati Puja, members of the Aangan presented a unique multi faith panorama, showcasing the universal truth that God is One. Renowned Hindustani Classical singer Ms. Sniti Mishra rendered devotional songs and added to the sanctity in the ambiance. The audience was soon carried away in time through `Samay ki Nazaron Sae’, a play portraying the spiritual awakening of Swami Vivekananda and his service to mankind, mentored by his Guru. Shri Prakhar Gautam, Founder, Parindey Storyteller Theater Group, Gurugram, was the director of the play. Shri Harish Bhimani, the eminent voiceover artist of the TV series Mahabharata fame lent his voice to Samay – the narrator in the play and was personally present at the event.

He appreciated the performers and said that the modern world is gradually losing out on its cultural power because monetary and political powers are dampening the ethics of mankind. He reiterated that man fails to take care of the smaller things in life due to his entanglements with lies, jealousy, and self-deception.

The programme, which was compered by Smt. Jyotsna Rai, former newsreader at Doordarshan. Sai Prasad was served to all who attended the celebration.

Fat Tiger “the Indian styled Chinese cuisine” 

By
City Women Magazine
FAT TIGER
FAT TIGER

Fat Tiger is a concept which is an ode and a tribute to “the Indian styled Chinese cuisine” developed in India by the small Chinese community that developed this food over a century ago. Today this food is an important part of the Indian culinary and culture and Fat Tiger wants to bring this food in its traditional glory with some modern touches across Indian in never been done before QSR ( Quick Service Restaurant) format. Additionally Fat Tiger will also serve unique and innovative beverages (never before served in India) along with interesting dimsums brought into the QSR format for the first time

Fat Tiger is conceptualized by the TRIO TEAM of Sahaj Chopra ( a seasoned young dynamic entrepreneur who excels in the defence distribution business with the government of India along with Chopra Automobiles and Millies cookies) Sohrab Sitaram (A well know name today who has developed award-winning and scalable F&B concepts – Sohrab is currently  Co-founder and director, Keventers, Co-Founder and Director Chi Asian Kitchen apart from Fat Tiger), and Sahil Arya ( co-owner of Millies cookies and a consultant who has pioneered several international brands and helped them set up in India)

Fat Tiger will serve meals wherein the customer will be able to create his own meals from a plethora of choices and sizes. The meals will take into account from the smallest (Bowl meal to Plate meals (larger) and then Family meals (the largest selection) along with special meals designed for kids (providing more variety but smaller portions for the children). Additionally, the brand has introduced the “TRY AND BUY” concept for the main course meals. This means that the guest will be able to try the main course items and then buy the item only. This has never been done in the QSR concept except the ice cream business. This makes Fat Tiger very unique and encourages guests to eat only if they like the taste of the items. TRY AND BUY concept also makes Fat Tiger extremely engaging and Friendly and most of all a Pioneer to introduce this in the curry / food concept.

Fat Tiger is also conscious of Healthy Meals being served to its guests and has created the concept of FIT TIGER MEALS ( all below 300 calories for a complete meal) and a few dishes for its GLUTEN FREE MEALS.

The most important feature for a customer is quick dispensing of meals especially in the QSR business (else he would rather go and eat in a restaurant) – for this purpose the dishes and the quality process of Fat Tiger have been engineered to ensure that all “Create your own meals” are dispensed within one minute of dispense time thereby instantly satisfying the hunger pangs of the Guests. Instant gratification will be the USP of this brand and it will ensure that the customer is able to get his meal quickly instead of waiting for an average of 10 to 15 minutes which is the average meal serving time by any QSR or restaurant today

Health is everything and Fat Tiger is not oblivious to the fact the correct well-sourced ingredient is to be used in today’s day and age owing to so many foodborne diseases and food adulteration.  Fat Tiger is transparent with its ingredients and the primary source of the ingredient is absolutely available. Additionally, Fat Tiger absolutely has a policy of NOT USING – CABBAGE, ANIMAL FAT and MSG in any food item including any ingredients that are purchased from vendors and suppliers. These food items could be potential health hazards and Fat Tiger team is committed to ensuring that only the right ingredients are used which have no chance of becoming health hazards so you and your family are absolutely safe.

Fat Tiger is inventing a few IPR of its own, for example Signature Orange Honey Chilli sauce and Charcoal Black Sichuan sauce, these currently don’t exist in Delhi. These are very innovative but yet have familiarity. Additionally, there is an emphasis on two categories in the beverage section which don’t exist in India namely – THE CHEESE CAP TEA (utilizing cheese foam) and the TIGER BROWN SUGAR SPECIALITIES ( used by creating three different types of brown sugar)- additionally, the TOP UPS in the beverage have become very interesting with the Boba, pearls, chia seeds, almond gum and basil seeds coming on as add ons for beverages

Our teas are a humble take on modern Indian chai loved by every Indian. We are excited to introduce the concept of cold teas and beverages using premium products to create unique and innovative beverages never been done in the QSR format. The foremost category is the fat tiger “TIGER BROWN SUGAR CATEGORY”– which is based on the concept of creating a special formula by mixing three different kinds of brown sugar and introducing beverages with a base of either milk, cold coffee, cold brew tea or cold brew coffee. All these items come with the chewy boba pearls thereby also giving a mouthful to the drink along with a superb presentation that looks like TIGER STRIPES and hence the name.  A fantastic innovation is also the “CHEESE CAP” which is a thick foam produced by the mixing Cream cheese, milk, salt and cream. The flavour of tea mixed with the Cheese Cream creates a flavourful unique taste and flavour which is absolutely a new concept and suits the taste buds of the Indian diaspora.

Dim sums have always had a special place in the hearts of Indians; at Fat Tiger, things are taken up a notch by introducing the flavourful dim sum/dumplings in different varieties. Some of the unique and aspirational dim sums which are on the menu are ITALIAN DIMSUMS (which are gratinated baked dumplings) Baozi (Big fat pan-fried dumpling – a combination of bread and dim sum wrappings and Shogo Shabril (Pinwheel flat dumpling). Additionally, the brand has also created lip-smacking Xianlongbao – a dim sum that has soup inside it thereby making it extra juicy. Such unique flavors have never been available in a QSR concept.

Fat Tiger has paid special attention to creating sustainable packaging for all its products to minimize harm to the environment. With reusable glasses for all its drinks and recyclable boxes for all its food, we are living up to the international consciousness working collectively towards protecting the environment and creating sustainable, ethical brands.

Turn Black launches its luxury collection ‘Vanity’
Turn Black launches its luxury collection ‘Vanity’

The all-black clothing line takes a new leap by designing a ‘limited-edition collection in Handloom Throwster Matka Silk’. The collection contemporizes classic suits & jackets for both men & women with the luxurious fabric. Turn Black customizes all its garments on request of the patrons, but for this collection, we urge their customers to send in their measurements or drop by at our store to get a pristine fitting.

“We’re doing things the old school way with this collection. Jackets have to be custom made for the perfect fit!”

The fabric is woven from discarded silk fibres which give it its signature tweed-like structure. Throwster Matka Silk has a lustre and in black, it looks irresistible! The collection showcases custom tailoring and our attention to detail. Each piece will be with our patrons for years to come, and we know its timeless design will never go out of style!

With each collection, we explore different themes which revolve around the human psyche. Vanity explores how pride can blind people to their own potential. A person who thinks highly of their own self, believes that they are better than those around and wouldn’t put in any more effort into making themselves or their work develop further. In short, they keep themselves from growing.

Turn Black is a Delhi based clothing brand which has dedicated itself to the colour black. Through the clothing, we want people to know about the power of black. A colour which has opposing characteristics, each as strong as the other. Environmentally conscious, we use only the fabric it needs and if there any leftover we use it to make bags, accessories, buttons, pockets etc. Transitioning to sustainable fashion is a gradual process, which also requires the availability of good quality affordable clothes. Our clothes are made of high-quality fabrics which are BCI & FSC certified. Each of our garments is an investment, the colour is timeless and the designs are perfect for any occasion. Turn Black is an ethical brand which strives to be a completely sustainable brand, all our efforts are currently towards finding innovative ways to become sustainable.

The binding threads “chhaap collection”

the binding threads- chhaap collection
the binding threads- chhaap collection

The binding threads is about modern Indian dressing with a hint of ethnic identity. As our first collection, Chhaap was about deriving inspiration from its fabric, chanderi. We adopted a communication that speaks for the fabric itself. The main idea behind the name satisfies two purposes- the chanderi fabric has a form of printography and when you wear it you leave a mind print, an impression on people with your dress sense.

The brand is not restricted to the attires which can be only worn on certain occasions but it is something that women can wear on a daily basis as well. Our brand is for those modern women who prefer to wear comfortable ethnic clothes without compromising authenticity.

The brand strives to create a position for itself in the world of Indian fashion and to be recognized as a brand who provides trendy yet comfortable indo-western clothing.

About the brand: Our purpose is to serve modern Indian dressing with a hint of ethnic identity. The smallest of the block, the tiniest preposition that creates a cloth-thread. The Binding Threads as a name justifies the culturally ingrained and gives importance to the fabric in its entirety. Just how knitting needles click perfectly and create a cloth with sheer passion and labor, the threads tell a tale of compassion that the artist has put in for the design.
