Fashion, style, and growth are the themes for 2015 calender launch by IFFD

The calender cover

It is not everyday that one notices known celebrities, fashion, and infrastructural growth come under a common aesthetic platform for all to witness. While the first pair is often the case as 2 sides of the same coin, the later one comes across as different to it all as chalk and cheese. However, in a rather creative turn of events, the IFFD Calender 2015 launch took place in New Delhi, with the underlying theme of 'Growing India', putting seemingly diverse themes together. While scintillating models remain in the foreground, the background has been thematically depicted with blocks of infrastructure development amongst buildings.

Avinash Pathania, the Founder-Director of the IFFD (Indian Federation for Fashion Development), spoke about the unique concept of the high-end calender, saying "At IFFD, we take the most novel ideas and concepts and drive them with passion and creativity.  This limited edition IFFD Calendar 2015 is one such idea. For its making, we aimed at creating a calendar which can justify that fashion industry in India is mature enough to be part of any fashion campaign world over."

The brilliance of photography is credited to ace lensman Kunaal Bose, where has shot 12 of the best designs of 2014, from as many designers behind these creations. He has then gone on to amalgamate the visual treat with tinted visuals of infrastructural blocks as the backdrop.

Some of the others to bought about the glam factor of the models in each of the pictures include names like Rishi Raj (Image Consultant & stylist), Akassh Aggarwal (Jewelry Designs), Savleen Manchanda (make-up), Atul Sharma (hair-stylist). To ensure that the post-production was just as top notch, Parmjit Singh chipped in with good expertise.

 India is currently looking to make big on the government's 'Make in India' campaign, which is directed towards making India a manufacturing and production hub across industries. The IFFD, known to be a marketing platform and networking opportunity for the creative and entrepreneurial minded, will contribute greatly towards the cause of the fashion industry. After all, this industrial market has the potential to reach an estimated value of $200 billion (2013, Economic Times) by the year 2025. This will make it the fastest growing market in the world along with neighbor China, and also be a dictator of economies in the times to come.

Review: Adarsha Hindu Hotel By Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhay

Image
Adarsha Hindu Hotel by Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhay There was once a time, when eating at eateries was very different from today; the codes of service and management were strongly different from current dispensation. This holds true for the characters too, even though racism was also more clearly present in everyday life. Politics at work place existed even then; mismanagement and employee favoritism was known. Humane people were perhaps more common. These are some of the overarches that comes strongly when delving into the world of Bibhutibhushan Bandopadhay's Adarsha Hindu Hotel, set in the city of Ranaghat in pre-partition Bengal. The book is obviously about more things, but these remain some of the broader underlings of this Bengali novel.

Review: All Roads Lead To Ganga By Ruskin Bond

Image
The cover of All Roads Lead to Ganga As life goes on the metros, with its own sort of breakneck speed, there is always a need to have a reminder of how nature itself and smaller towns still represent a lot of what we miss today. Ruskin Bond's All Roads Lead to Ganga, does that with his absolute signature style with lucidity, simplicity, and a generous backing of well researched information. Bond's relationship with the smaller towns of North India are already well known, and a lot of his literature revolves around the life in these locations; he does the same thing, with new flavors and an overall interesting read.
