  • Sneak Peek into Restaurant Kitchens

    by Aparajita Jaiswal Sneak Peek into Restaurant Kitchens 6 July 2022 FOOD Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement Should you or should you not look behind the restaurant kitchen doors You are celebrating your promotion at work at your favorite restaurant and you have ordered a tasty, locally grown organic meal. You indulge completely to savor your food, while feeling good that your life appears to be just perfect. What could be better? Well, as a starter: the conditions in which your food is prepared. Food with attitude is okay, but food with hygiene is rather more important. Ever wondered whether or not the food, we tend to treat ourselves with at restaurants, is prepared maintain the standard conditions of cleanliness and hygiene? Ever thought of having a sneak peek into the kitchen of your favorite restaurant and say Hi to the chefs? Maybe you should, once in a while. Good food is definitely good vibes until you get sick because of the low standard of cleanliness and hygiene at restaurants and eateries. Catching food infections at a restaurant is the worst nightmares of their guests, more commonly evident in children. Customers would obviously wish to dine in a restaurant that serves hygienic food and focuses on cleanliness. The point of concern here now is how do we decide which of the restaurant serves hygienic food and which of them do not maintain the standard hygiene conditions. As a usual ideology, it is assumed that the high standard five start restaurants serve the most hygienic food and maintain high standard cleanliness. Provided the fact that the entire staff of such a restaurant is well qualified and considerably trained, justifies such an image of the restaurant in people’s minds. People usually prefer the high standard and obviously expensive restaurants over the shabby, précised or pinpoint restaurants with a moderate yet considerable ambience and quality services. This preferentiality is due to the assumption of the fact that the more you pay, the higher quality of services you avail and thus the food served must be hygienic enough. The actual fact might be that you end up paying for the ambience and services provided more than over the food served. Must give this a thought! Taking the quality of food served and hygiene maintained into consideration, there is always a chance that due to such high maintenance of the 5-star restaurants, they have an access to well-furnished technology as well. There are always freezers which help them store food for longer period of time. In fact, the food served in all the franchises of large and renowned brands, have a supply of their raw materials, always in a frozen form. Nobody would actually want to eat something that is in the refrigerator of the house for a day or two, but readily enjoy such meals in the restaurants. Street foods, highly enjoyed and populous among the young, is considered to be oily and unhygienic by many. Several videos and pictures of the unhygienic conditions in which street food is prepared are timely circulated over the social media. People here tend to be very aware and concerned about the hygiene maintained and threaten the owners of small stalls by recording their videos and posting over the social media negative review or feedback. However, the fact that a considerable proportion of the entire population within a metropolitan city relies upon the street food cannot be taken for granted. What else could make the best example, but the Vada Pav in Mumbai is a staple diet for everyone, be it employees, strugglers or anyone as such. Do people here talk about hygiene? Obviously not! Is your health adversely effected by Vada Pav? Obviously not! It is not all about the quality of services provided, the fact that these street foods are freshly prepared everyday and you can actually witness the food being prepared and immediately served is what makes it safe. The fact to thus understand is that the points to consider while choosing which restaurant to dine in, shouldn’t just the ambience or the quality of service provided but the quality of food, the raw materials used, the steps taken by the cooks and serving staff to maintain hygiene and of course the freshness of the food served. You cannot form a general opinion regarding the hygiene conditions of restaurants based upon the hierarchy of restaurants. The places like food stalls can serve hygienic food as well. The high standard restaurants and at times fail to do so as well and vice versa. You, as a consumer need to wisely choose among all these restaurants. Make sure that you dine to be healthy and fine.

  • Two Decades In Motion: Jay Thakkar And The Rhythm Of Relentless Ambition

    Two Decades In Motion: Jay Thakkar And The Rhythm Of Relentless Ambition By Shriniwas Kodape Two Decades In Motion: Jay Thakkar And The Rhythm Of Relentless Ambition 18 May 2025 COVER STORIES Advertisement “Cinema isn’t just where I work — it’s where I belong.” – Jay Thakkar Jay Thakkar is not your nostalgia-laced child-actor-turned-soul-searcher cliché. No sir. He didn’t fade into anonymity to return with a beard and a broken guitar. He never left . This guy has been clocking in and clocking out since 2004—every take, every audition, every damn frame. While the industry was out there lighting fireworks and burning out by breakfast, Jay was quietly lighting his fire. And he never stopped feeding it. Now, 2025 rolls in like a freight train, and Jay’s not blinking. He’s marking 21 years in Indian cinema with two full-blown theatrical releases in May, like some kind of cinematic one-two punch. First up, Bhool Chuk Maaf —a romantic comedy from Maddock Films dropping on May 16th, with Jay alongside Rajkummar Rao, Wamiqa Gabbi, and the kind of cast that makes you sit up straighter. Then, just seven days later, Kapkapiii , a horror-comedy rollercoaster from Zee Studios, directed by the legendary Sangeeth Sivan, with Jay starring next to Shreyas Talpade and Tusshar Kapoor. No fluff, no filler—he’s a lead in both. He isn’t being edgy. He’s being factual. Since he was a kid, Jay has been grinding. 500+ ad films, 15+ features, 50+ TV shows , and 10+ web series —an arsenal of work so vast you’d think he cloned himself. Remember Cheeku in Gutur Gu ? Bunty Miyaan in Ek Duje Ke Vaaste 2 ? That silent, layered villain in Adrishyam ? He doesn’t just play roles—he mutates, morphs, becomes. From the heartland vibe of UP65 to the psychopathic shadows of Mauka-E-Vardaat , Jay doesn’t find his characters. He hunts them. And while we’re here—he’s not just acting. Jay’s also a Maharashtra HSC Board Topper (yes, that exam), and he holds a postgrad degree in Marketing & Advertising . While others were busy crafting influencer bios, he was studying media theory and splicing reels in his mind. “People think academia and acting are two different beasts,” he shrugs. “They’re not. Both need obsession. Both need rhythm.” Jay’s a full-spectrum force. Prosthetics? Sure. Accents? Bring them on. Mythical villains, 86-year-old kings, unstable psychopaths—he’s been all of them. The man once played Rakhbaan in Hatim , covered in makeup for hours, only to deliver a line with more conviction than most people summon while ordering coffee. But here’s where it gets freaky—in the best way. He’s also a watcher. A chronic observer. He loves the smell of edit rooms. The lighting setups. The lens choices. Jay doesn’t just act in a scene—he reverse-engineers it while doing calisthenics in his head. He’s as much a student of the frame as he is of the fire within it. Fitness? Jay checks that box with Taekwondo, Karate, CrossFit, and some other forms you probably can’t pronounce. Spiritually? The guy meditates. Serves. Resets. But don’t mistake that Zen for softness. His mantra is brutal in its precision: “Honesty saves everyone’s time.” And that honesty bleeds into every scene, every silence, every role. You ask him about social media, and he laughs—not with disdain, but with clarity. “Visibility is tempting,” he admits. “But I’ve never confused being seen with being real. My path’s never been for sale.” In a world that celebrates chaos disguised as creativity, Jay Thakkar is surgical. Every role he chooses, every pause he takes—it’s all planned. This isn’t a man riding the wave. He’s charting the current. Legacy? He’s building one. Not through gimmicks or “comebacks,” but through consistency. Rodina , the Hollywood–Russian film? He starred in that. International, local, silent, loud—he’s done it all, and he’s not slowing down. Jay isn’t trending. He’s rooted . He isn’t performing for applause. He’s performing because he must . “Cinema is my school, my temple, my home,” he says. “It’s where I become.” No dramatics. Just the truth. Just the work. Just Jay. Two decades down the line, and the man’s just now firing up the engine SEARCH A Journey Shaped By Courage, Creativity, And Social Media With Aditi Sharma COVER STORIES Inner Joy Trails My Inspiration : A Candid Conversation With The Creative Anushka Kaushik COVER STORIES Barkha Singh’s candid candour makes the way to an eye-catching interview COVER STORIES Educate, Empower, Excel: Priyanka Chahar Choudhary's Inspirational Overture COVER STORIES Waluscha De Sousa On Being Her ‘True Self’ And Going On The Dream Journey COVER STORIES POPULAR POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement By Sakshi Shah Across Languages, One Voice: Sheena Chohan 1 April 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Mananveer Singh On Making Music That Feels Natural And Real 24 March 2026 COVER STORIES By Sakshi Shah Falak Khan On Acting, Identity, And Letting Her Work Speak For Itself 9 March 2026 COVER STORIES By Shriniwas Kodape Tej Music Vodka: The DJ Turning Youth Culture Into a Moving Dancefloor 30 January 2026 COVER STORIES RELATED POSTS Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement

  • The Pursuit Of Comfort: Body By Victoria’s Secret Redefines The Everyday Bra

    The Pursuit Of Comfort: Body By Victoria’s Secret Redefines The Everyday Bra By Sakshi Shah The Pursuit Of Comfort: Body By Victoria’s Secret Redefines The Everyday Bra 18 August 2025 FASHION Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement It is a truth not universally acknowledged, though it ought to be, that a woman in possession of a demanding life must be in want of a perfect bra. Not the kind that digs, pinches, or whispers of compromise, but one that moves with her, as faithful and uncomplaining as the shadow that follows her in the sun. In a century where fashions bloom and wither in the span of a single season, such creations are rare gems hidden among the baubles. And yet, this summer, Victoria’s Secret has chosen to set aside the merely fashionable in favor of something enduring: the Body by Victoria FlexFactor Lightly Lined Plunge Demi Bra, a piece designed not to flatter for an instant, but to serve a woman for the long arc of her days. The Body by Victoria collection has long been a fixture in wardrobes across continents, earning its place not through loud declarations but through the quiet loyalty of those who have worn it. With one bra sold every five seconds, it has built a reputation on that most unfashionable of virtues consistency. Yet, just as even the finest home requires the occasional opening of new windows to let in the air, so too must a heritage design allow for innovation. The FlexFactor is such a breath of fresh air. At its core lies a slender marvel: a flexible titanium underwire, as yielding as it is strong, bending to the contours of its wearer’s form yet never losing its shape. Gone is the rigid frame that has, for decades, been lingerie’s necessary evil; here is a structure that offers the body both liberty and loyalty. The cups, with their memory foam of feather-light touch, recall the luxury of a bespoke gown tailored not by hand, but by technology so precise it knows every rise and hollow of the body it serves. One does not merely wear this piece; one inhabits it, as naturally as one inhabits a favorite armchair or a trusted friend’s embrace. From the first hour of the morning to the last stride before evening’s rest, it follows without intruding, supported without announcing itself. To present such a creation to the world, Victoria’s Secret entrusted its image to Charlotte Wales, a photographer whose lens finds grace in the most fleeting of gestures. In New York City, where life moves at a pace brisk enough to test the patience of saints, she caught movement in its purest form: women striding, turning, laughing unbound. The campaign’s architect, Adam Selman, Victoria’s Secret’s Executive Creative Director, envisioned not a tableau of stillness but a living portrait of freedom, aided by the creative agency Chandelier and the deft styling of Malina Joseph Gilchrist. “We wanted the campaign to show movement and freedom,” Selman remarks, “and the flexible ease of our newest Body by Victoria styles. The innovation behind this wire is truly impressive.” It is a rare pleasure when a designer speaks not of trends or spectacle, but of ease of the quiet luxury that comes from wearing something perfectly attuned to one’s life. Yet the FlexFactor is not an isolated marvel; it belongs to a broader constellation of offerings. Within the Body by Victoria collection lie bras, panties, casual sleepwear, and apparel, each piece sharing the same philosophy: beauty without restriction. Prices begin at $16.95, sizes range from XS to XXL in apparel, and bands 30 to 44 with cups A to G in bras. The scale of choice is deliberate comfort and refinement are not to be hoarded by a select few. Victoria’s Secret itself, with more than 1,380 stores in nearly seventy countries and a workforce of over 30,000, has long occupied its place as a leader in intimate apparel. But it is not size that sustains such a legacy it is the will to adapt without surrendering one’s essence. The FlexFactor is not a seasonal diversion, but a declaration: that beauty reaches its zenith when it serves the woman, rather than demands she serve it. When it arrived on July 23rd, it did so not with fanfare alone, but with the quiet confidence of something built to last. True luxury, after all, is not excess but precision in every seam, every curve, every choice of fabric working toward a single purpose. For the woman who prizes independence as highly as elegance, the FlexFactor is more than an object of purchase. It is a companion in motion, an ally in the pursuit of a day unbroken by discomfort. And so it stands, this newest chapter in the Body by Victoria story not content to rest upon the laurels of the past, but reaching forward into a future where structure and softness, beauty and utility, need not be strangers. Available now in Victoria’s Secret boutiques across the world and at VictoriasSecret.com , the FlexFactor Lightly Lined Plunge Demi Bra offers not merely the adornment of the body, but the rarest luxury of all: the adornment of a life well-lived.
