"Life's journey is indeed a funny and unpredictable tale, filled with the voices of others trying to guide us as we grow. But in the end, it's about having faith and courage in ourselves, even when those same voices may advise otherwise. Be-Rozzgaar is a tribute to all the self-confident souls patiently awaiting their moment to shine, undeterred by the naysayers who claim it's time to rest. It's a celebration of those who stay true to their path, regardless of external opinions. As an artist, I draw inspiration from such resilient spirits, and through my music, I hope to inspire others to embrace their uniqueness and persevere on their own extraordinary journey." expressed  Raiez A. Khan

Sharing his thoughts on the tune, Rohit Sobti, Co-Founder, TM Music said,  "Raiez is a Woke Artiste who creates music which is voice/feeling of lot of people . He has lived and improved on this song for many years along with his band Badmast. At TM Music, we are committed to promoting talented artists like Raiez A. Khan, who bring a fresh perspective and genuine emotions to their work. Be-Rozzgaar is an exceptional song that captures the essence of perseverance and self-belief.

Gurgaon-based Parindey Storytellers win honours at the 12th Kolkata Shorts International Film Festival

New Delhi, 31st July 2023: Short films Entrapment and Raju’s conflict, two films which were directed by Gurgaon Based filmmakers, Parindey Storytellers, win big at the 12th Kolkata Shorts International Film Festival. Entrapment won the award for Best Background score while Raju’s Conflict won Honourable Jury Mention.

This is after they also won big at the 13th Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival 2023. The two short films were directed by Prakhar Gautam and produced under the banner of Parindey Storytellers.

Entrapment is the story of a lonely woman who lives in a concocted reality of a family she never had and an idea she has lived with for years to kill her loneliness. The story of the film was conceived by Harrdeep who also played the lead role in the film. The film was shot on a shoestring budget with a small crew and has already one other honours including the Best Editing award at the 10th Noida International Film Festival.  

Hardeep who has acted in various TV shows and films said “The making of entrapment was a very emotional experience for me as the topic was very close to my heart. My father who left us two years ago due to covid was the inspiration for this story. The film is about loneliness and social entrapment that almost every woman faces at some time or the other. This feeling can get so overwhelming at times that the mind starts concocting things as a defense mechanism”.

Raju’s Conflict is set in pre-independent India and the film depicts the dilemma of Raju, a simpleton in a small village in pre-independent India. Raju is from a family of patriots who have sacrificed their lives for the country. His Brother was recently killed by the English rulers for being a Revolutionary. The dilemma he faces here is a choice between killing for an ideology or not killing for humanity…

Anmol Bhayana who played the role of Raju said “Had a fantastic time working on this film. We all went to a village to shoot this one and it was extremely cold. It has come out really well and everyone is liking it which makes us happy and grateful”

Sucheta who has also acted in many major ads said - The making of this movie reaffirmed my belief that if a story resonates strongly with your thoughts and ideals, you will put in all your effort to make it believable to others. Camera work, acting, editing, and all other aspects that make a film loveable fall into place. That has been my personal learning from working with this film.

About Prakhar, Anil, another actor said - His vision as a director and his interest as a historian seeing those two aspects come alive into the camera and on the screen. 

Ayush an actor in the film said Raju's Conflict talks about the different conflicts we have in our personal life. It was a fabulous life experience, acting in the movie and learning new perspectives about the shoot

Jashan who was also an associate director in the film said - I feel lucky to have worked with Parindey both in front of and behind the camera. Entrapment and Raju's Conflict are two starkly different films but the one thing that is common between the projects is the effort put in by Prakhar and his team that has brought about phenomenal success.

It was a great experience working in Raju's conflict with Prakhar's team as we share one vision whenever we do something we always try to provide something new to the audience and more importantly to you yourself also. As for my character Zamindar, it's a layered one that I thoroughly enjoyed playing with the help of Prakhar and which I have not done before also. Felt blessed to be part of such a project and team thankyou and keep rocking said Sarat Bothra.

World must embrace ancient Indian traditions of nature conservation, says Shri Kalraj Mishra, Hon'ble Governor, Rajasthan, as C20 Summit concludes in Jaipur

Mumbai / July 31, 2023: The three-day Final Summit of Civil20 (C20), an official Engagement Group of G20, concluded at Jaipur with presentation of the C20 Communique, a grassroots survey and policy recommendations developed by its 16 Working Groups. These important documents were presented to the G20 Secretariat and representatives of G20 Brazil at the Summit.

Amma, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Chair, C20 India, also officially handed over the leadership of C20 to Brazil after successful conclusion of C20 India. More than 800 delegates were present at the event, including civil society organizations from around the globe, distinguished experts from renowned institutions, and G20 officials.

Prominent dignitaries attended the valedictory function including Shri Kalraj Mishra, Hon'ble Governor, Rajasthan; Smt. Vasundhara Raje, Vice President, BJP; Amma, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, Chair, C20; Shri Vijay Nambiar, Sherpa C20 India; Sri M, Core Committee Member, C20; Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri, Troika, C20 & Vice Chairman, Mata Amritanandamayi Math; Shri Athayde Motta, Executive Director, Abong; and Élisabeth Moreno, ex-Minister Delegate in France for Equality Between Women & Men, Diversity & Equal Opportunities.

Said Shri Kalraj Mishra, Hon'ble Governor, Rajasthan: “As we focus on the needs of economic and social development, it is also necessary to pay attention to environmental conservation. As the world makes efforts to tackle the challenges of climate change, we need to look back at Indian culture which has a tradition of worshiping trees and connecting them with the divine. We have to embrace our ancient traditions of nature conservation and promoting awareness about these for future development. This work should be carried out on a large scale.”

Shri Kalraj Mishra added: “Niti Aayog and the United Nations are working on a framework for continuous development and cooperation in India. It is important that our foundation for this is based on four strategic pillars of People, Prosperity, Planet and Participation. These pillars are interconnected and focus on six result areas: Health & Wellbeing; Nutrition & Food Security; Quality Education; Economic Development & Decent Work; Environmental Sustainability, Climate & Resilience; and Empowerment of People, Communities, & Institutions. It is necessary to advance these foundations and targeted outcomes under Civil-20.”

Shri Kalraj Mishra said: “Civil society organisations can play a huge role in shaping India’s development plans and policies according to the aspirations of the common people. They can help bridge the gap between large-scale initiatives and their practical implementation for the benefit of the people and reducing inequality. There is still much to be done in addressing the challenges of gender inequality, continuous development, climate change and environmental balance. We must work on integrating our rich cultural traditions related to environmental conservation into modern practices. We must learn from our traditions of tree worship and nature conservation. We must connect the modern generation with the traditions of love and care for animals within the framework of environmental balance. We have to focus on involving the younger generation in the development of skills and values that align with Indian culture.”

Smt. Vasundhara Raje, Vice President, BJP and ex-Chief Minister of Rajasthan, said: "The COVID pandemic was a testament to both the unpreparedness of nation states and the resilience of humanity. Together, governments, civil society, and science successfully combated the disease and vaccinated majority of the adult population. The spirit of cooperative federalism flourished. However, amidst all our triumphs, we must heed the warning from Mother Nature, as our relentless pursuit of physical comfort is leading to reckless depletion of natural wealth. Our thirst for energy poses a grave threat to the very planet that sustains us.”

She added, “At this moment in history, we face challenges of our own making and must accept collective responsibility. All cultures and nations must unite to reduce demands on scarce resources, prioritize reuse, and embrace recycling to avert the dire future of oblivion. As representatives of civil society, we must lead the charge in advocating sustainable practices, conservation, and renewable energy. We must ensure that extreme climates do not disproportionately harm the most vulnerable among us. To achieve ecological and financial justice, we must engage in inclusive development processes that uphold principles of gender equality. Collaboration between governments and civil society is essential to effectively address these critical issues."

Said Swami Amritaswarupananda Puri, Troika, C20 & Vice Chairman, Mata Amritanandamayi Math: “Amma, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi served as our sole inspiration and guiding light for the remarkable success of C20 in India. This was possible only because of her divine leadership and guidance. As we draw the final curtains on the C20 final summit, we thank all the people and organizations whose unwavering commitment and collective support made this possible. A special word of thanks to civil society organizations for their commitment for promoting social justice, human rights, and sustainable development. Together, as global community, we have taken a step forward in building a more equitable, sustainable and compassionate world as we leave this C20 Summit with new ideas and renewed determination. But let us remember that our work has only just begun.”

The 16 Working Groups of C20 have proposed a wide array of policy recommendations on each of their thematic areas. They have also come up with specific examples of successful work that has already been done by civil society organizations in each area of focus which could be replicated elsewhere in the world

The Civil20 Summit serves as a platform for experts, advocates, and policymakers to convene, fostering idea exchange and presenting actionable policy recommendations to the G20. It concentrates on critical global issues to shape and influence policies that advance sustainable development, inclusivity, and a better future for all.

Amma, Sri Mata Amritanandamayi Devi, is the Chair of C20.

Burma Burma Launches A New Menu


        Delicious Small Plates, Hearty Mains, Refreshing Coolers & Nostalgia-laced ice creams

        inspired by its varied geographies, bustling markets, diverse cultures, and family recipes

        Offering a contemporary take on traditional Burmese cuisine

 

All India, June 2023: Burma Burma, presents many delicious reasons for you to experience an incredible array of Burmese specialties at its restaurants in Delhi NCR (Saket, Noida & Cyber Hub Gurugram), Mumbai, Bengaluru (Indiranagar & Brigade Road) and Kolkata.  Light, flavourful yet immensely satisfying - dining at Burma Burma this season promises to be an exciting discovery of Burmese cuisine with the all-new selection of delicious small plates, refreshing salads, hearty mains, chilled bubble teas, and nostalgia-laced plated desserts and ice creams. Borne out of a recent research trip led by Co-founder Ankit Gupta and Chef Ansab, Head Chef Burma Burma, to Mandalay and Shan in Burma earlier this year, the new small plates present a contemporary take on the dishes borrowed and replicated from Burma’s street food, as well as tribal and heirloom recipes passed down through generations.  Bringing robust flavours and intriguing dishes from the streets and homes of Burma to your table - Burma Burma celebrates the culture, taste, and cooking styles of this fascinating and largely unexplored country with this new selection of dishes and drinks. The new offering promises to transport you to the streets of Yangon with each bite! Blending the best of traditional Burmese recipes with fresh ingredients and unique flavours, the latest menu presents small plates like Crunchy Shiitake Fingers, Taro and Tempeh Pan-Seared Bao and Soba Noodles with Tea Leaf Pesto, hearty mains such as Mandalay Noodle Bowl and Smoked Chilli Rice Bowl and plated desserts including Street Style Burmese Falooda, Saffron and Samuza Cheesecake and a selection of artisanal ice creams including Pineapple Energee, Dark Chocolate & Olive Oil, Avocado & Honey, Honeycomb & Sweetcorn and Durian Fruit.  Burma Burma, a one-of-its-kind specialty Burmese cuisine restaurant and tea house, is known not just for its distinct, flavourful cuisine but also its fine selection of thirst-quenching coolers, mocktails and bubble teas and recently launched artisanal, small batch nostalgia-inspired ice creams.

On their recent visit to Burma, the culinary team met Aunty Pey Pey, who could turn any ingredient into a delightfully refreshing salad. Taking inspiration from her guava salad, Burma Burma’s Aunty Pey Pey’s Guava Salad comprises medium-ripe guava tossed in roasted chilli and crunchy peanuts and served with guava and Sriracha shards, a perfect start to a summer meal. Burmese cuisine is characterised by sour, spicy and robust flavours combined with distinct textures and unique pantry staples. The new small plates offering is inspired by the varied geographies, bustling markets, diverse cultures and family recipes in Burma and a contemporary take on some of the most memorable flavours tasted by the team on their many research visits over the years. These small plates showcase indigenous Burmese ingredients, typical of local household cooking like Bandel cheese, Balachaung peppers and Laphet, that are sourced from Burma. The Crunchy Shiitake Fingers is a textural delight of crusted meaty, shiitake mushroom served with a creamy cashew and smoked Bandel cheese dip. The crisp outer layer on the mushrooms takes its inspiration from the semolina and hemp seed coating used in Sanwi - a popular Burmese sweet. If comfort could be packed into a bowl, it would have to be the Soba Noodles with Tea Leaf Pesto; Earthy and unctuous soba noodles tossed with the signature Burmese tea leaf dressing - laphet (fermented and pickled tea leaves) and a sunflower seed pesto, finished with smoked Bandel cheese. The umami flavoured King Oyster Mushrooms, in the Trumpet Mushroom Steak, are grilled to perfection with a chilli kaffir lime dressing; served with crisp morning glory and puffed black rice. Edamame and Broad Bean Hummus, a smooth, airy broad bean and edamame puree topped with the spicy Burmese balachaung stuffed peppers, come with local tea-shop style Burmese naan. A new addition to the signature baos is the pillowy soft and light Taro and Tempeh Pan-Seared Bao, stuffed with slow-cooked tempeh, taro, and tofu, pan-seared and served with charred peppers.

Burma Burma’s versatile Malar Sauce brings a unique hot and tangy addition to the main course offering - the Stir-Fried Tofu & Vegetables In Malar Sauce features silken tofu and fresh vegetables braised in this signature sauce. Diners have the option of enjoying it as a Stir Fry or a Rice Bowl.  Mandalay Noodle Bowl, a hearty Udon noodle bowl with coconut curry, charred bok choy and tofu, topped with crunchy shiitake is a comfort bowl of homely goodness.  A Burmese meal is seldom complete without a rice plate - the Smoked Chilli Rice Bowl with aromatic jasmine rice is wok tossed in smoked chilli sauce with seasonal greens and topped with crackers. 

This weather calls for a tall glass of chilled Iced Tea! Integral to Burmese life, tea is not just savoured as a drink but eaten too and no celebration is complete without it. The beverage program at Burma Burma stays true to its roots with a Burmese Tea Room that offers an extensive selection of Artisanal Iced Tea Blends and Coolers. The newest tea concoctions include, Lemon & Lime, a strong cold brew Lemon Tea with citrusy notes of lime, and Spiced Apricot, a tasteful amalgamation of smoked oolong kombucha, roasted red chilli and local Burmese pickled apricots. The mocktail selection, pairs perfectly with our food offering from the diverse geographies of Burma. More Iced Teas for you to enjoy with your summer meal - Scarlet is made with hibiscus cold brew, grapefruit, ginger ale, and honey, while Paloma, with a sweet and spicy kick, uses pineapple, grapefruit, sesame seeds, coriander seeds, lemongrass, kaffir lime and chilli.

The newly launched lemonades are perfect summer thirst-quenchers: take your pick from Lemon Splash to Berry Blush with pickled raspberries or the Peru Lemonade with Sichuan pepper.  Bubble Tea, an Asian delicacy, has gained immense popularity in many South Asian countries, Burma included. And the much-loved Bubble Teas at Burma Burma are any-time favourites, and the new additions made with freshly brewed teas, laced with sweet, chewy tapioca pearls include Brown Sugar Bubble Tea and Avocado Bubble Tea. Other crowd favourites on offer are Nutella Bubble Tea, Lotus Biscoff Bubble Tea and Chocolate Bubble Tea and unique flavours like Matcha Bubble Tea and Yuzu Bubble Tea.

Remember your childhood, hot summer afternoons, walking out of school, playing on the fields, and then walking around looking for a cold, thirst-quenching cooler, or an indulgent scoop of ice-cream? Burma Burma's new creamy, delectable Pineapple Energee brings back the joy of enjoying a bottle of Energee on a hot summer day but in an ice cream. Remember munching hungrily on a corn-on-the-cob? At Burma Burma it is creatively reimagined as a frozen treat and plated as the Honeycomb & Sweet Corn Ice cream with sweet corn kernels and bits of salted caramel popcorn topped with crunchy honeycomb. Inspired by childhood flavours and classic ingredients with a touch of nostalgia, the new artisanal ice creams launched this summer are fresh, creamy, and downright delicious and come in unique and unusual ingredient combinations. Served in-restaurant and plated imaginatively - the Avocado Ice cream is topped with honey caviar and coconut fumes while the forbidden Asian Durian fruit with its unique and distinct flavour is whipped into one-of-a-kind handmade ice cream. Indulgent dark chocolate churned into a smooth ice cream with olive oil drizzled over makes our Dark Chocolate & Olive Oil ice cream. If you love a classic cheesecake, then the Caramelised White Chocolate and Cheese ice cream with hints of raspberry gel and vanilla streusel will hit the spot. Offering the most delicious Ice Creams in a variety of flavours, Burma Burma's offering is made in-house, in small bathers, with the best quality ingredients and is available for both dine-in as plated desserts and for delivery.

Also on the menu is a selection of International desserts, co-curated by Bangalore-based Chef Vinesh Johny, that are influenced by traditional Burmese sweetmeats and global favourites. Marrying classic flavours with contemporary flair, the Saffron and Samuza Cheesecake is a baked saffron cheesecake, topped with pistachio creme, flaky honey Samuza and a scoop of mango sorbet. Rangoon Baked Milk, that perfect ‘not too sweet’ dessert is made with house-baked milk, vanilla whipped ganache, raspberry gel, fried brioche, and a generous sprinkle of almond nougatine. A fresh take on a classic black forest pastry, our Black Forest dessert encompasses a candied almond mouse, vanilla froyo and balsamic cherry sorbet garnished with smoked cherries and dark chocolate.

Rich in heritage and abundant in authentic flavours, the award-winning Burmese restaurant offers the country’s authentic culinary traditions with contemporary flair along with the finest selection of dishes and artisanal teas, served in a space designed with traditional Burmese accents and modern touches.

ABOUT BURMA BURMA

Founded in 2014 by childhood friends, Chirag Chhajer & Ankit Gupta, Burma Burma (Hunger Pangs Pvt. Ltd.) currently owns seven restaurants across Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bangalore, Kolkata. The concept hails from Gupta's Burmese roots. His mother and her family who were brought up in Myanmar had a great influence, expanding his food platter with heady flavours of Burmese cuisine. The brand is an amalgamation of the two biggest forces in Ankit’s life, his father’s lineage of restaurateurs and the treasured family recipes from his mother’s heritage. Armed with the concept and design he approached his friend Chirag Chhajer, a food enthusiast, and an avid traveller to bring Burmese food to Indian tables. But Burma Burma is more than a restaurant. It is a wholesome and innovative dining experience and a holistic experience Burma in terms of food, culture, and happiness.
