Jungle Lore has planned a monsoon getaway for all you nature enthusiast pros and nature enthusiast amateurs. Late night drives to Lonavla and eating bhutta at Marine Drive are done-to-death. So how about a day trip to Bhivpuri, which is about 2-2.5 hours from Mumbai. Conjure up images of water in a colour of pure, brilliant white, gushing down from a height of 100 ft in a powerful journey that would expose nature in all its beauty. Rocks and the mountains will passionately embrace plants and bushes in vivid hues of green. You would also experience the joy of watching tiny saplings coming to life. You will carry the irreplaceable smell of soil and the deafening sound of thundering water with you. And we guarantee that you wouldn’t want to leave. This sport of Waterfall Rappelling will be organised by Jungle Lore twice in July, 7th July 2013 and 14th July 2013. Costing Rs. 2,000 per person, you will get to literally walk down a waterfall, which will count among one of the most thrilling experiences you will have had. Waterfall Rappelling will also be accompanied by a sport of Flying Fox, about 400 ft above the waterfall. The itinerary starts at 6:00 am in the morning, the meeting spot being the Swami Narayan Mandir opposite Dadar (E) and ends at 4:00 pm when you will depart for Mumbai. The package includes travel, a sumptuous breakfast (juice, sandwiches, cookies and cakes), lunch (a full course meal with local flavours including yummy desserts), evening refreshments and Jungle Lore expertise. Needless to say, top quality safety gear would be used in the sport. You can contact them by calling on 022 24306658 and by writing to them at junglelore@junglelore.net. For more details, click here.

A community project, it aims to bring together people of Mumbai, from South Bombay to the Western Suburbs, with good deeds nonetheless. Oftentimes in Mumbai you notice that people don’t give a tinker’s damn about anything. Sounds harsh, no? Well, we are part of the same brigade. And as much as it pains me to admit this, we are turning our beloved city into a grouchy snob. We are in a perpetual rush, to do something that seemingly never pleases us, to earn money that always seems insufficient and to spend it on things we later deem unworthy. Sounds like a perfect process to notch up your misery levels, doesn’t it? Well, not anymore. Come 21st June and thousands of origami cranes created by Riya Sakraney and Divya Dev will be distributed to customers dining in select restaurants in the city. You have to simply carry out the good deed mentioned on these cranes, document them by way of pictures, post these on A Crane A Day and pass on the crane for more people to follow suit. 5 best pictures will be chosen out of so many and will be given prizes.  So before we put our hands together to applaud the spirit of Mumbai city, let’s put them in each other’s hands and create a network of good deeds. Let’s create a ripple effect that will have us doing them for days and days to come. Time for some sunshine in this gloomy monsoon? Oh yes! You can follow A Crane A Day on Instagram at @acraneaday, on Twitter here and on Facebook here. To get in touch with them, to help them make cranes, you can contact them by calling on 9820628870 and by writing to them at acraneaday@gmail.com.

Tis the season to be jolly! And I will always love you..  India’s first singing telegram service – Sing A Gram. Yes, you read that right. Because somehow, it’s always that time of the year, when confusion is at its peak and you ask every person around you what you should gift your beloved on his/her birthday. Somehow, none of them know the right answer to your question. And somehow, you always end up stressing over it more than awaiting the celebrations that follow.  Aalok Aswani, the brainchild behind a cool initiative, came up with an idea that is thoughtful, fun and a great option for a present. Call up the guys at Sing A Gram, and they will sort you out with a fabulous singer and a guitarist, or a band to woo the one you love. It could be for your mum’s birthday, your anniversary, a sorry message, a wedding invitation or just seasonal greetings. Any occasion when you want the person you love to feel special, that’s when Sing A Gram comes in. It could work as a funny office prank too!  Give them scoop on the occasion, the location, your relationship with the one being gifted, fun anecdotes and other stories that will help them customize a song for you. And voila! They’ll come up with a special song that will bring out the imaginary flowers and butterflies fluttering around the lucky lady – just like in the movies.  The Sing A Gram services are extended only to Mumbai currently on select locations. Call Aalok on 9820041595 or send an email to singagram@live.com to serenade the one you love. You need to book your Sing A Gram 3 days prior for cover songs, and a week in advance if you would like them to compose a special song.  Finally, you can smoothly tra la la your way to buying the next birthday gift!  Or if you have a romantic (read: insecure) boyfriend like Ross (from Friends), this is just perfect for him!

Doodle, right? Well, Doodle – Make Your Own Diaries lets you put all that back-page artistry right on the cover. They have such a huge collection of diaries and notebooks in so many colours and designs, that it will make your head spin! Some of us are globe-trotting wanderlusters, some are sports-keedas, for some music is their oxygen, while for others shopping for all things pretty is a form of cardio. Doodle covers all these themes and more! Putting pen to paper is a lost form of art. But let’s bring it back, shall we? Because no matter how techno-savvy we get, the joy of finding those precious feelings written on paper in a very uniquely personal handwriting is incomparable.  To lift fog on the details, Doodle was started as a venture because while there are ample and huge and mammoth and literally gigantic proportions of varieties when it comes to gifting and receiving sunglasses, shoes, clothes or bags, there’s hardly anything out there for those interested in pen and paper. And let’s admit it, we’ve all exhausted these other, more regular forms of gifting. Once you browse through their collection, you'll be glad to know that they ship for free all over India. Apart from choosing which colour should go with the theme you want, you can also personalize it by inscribing a name on the cover. COD facility isn't available for bulk orders, so keep that in mind before you proceed to fill your cart with multiple Doodle diaries! To buy your favourite Doodle from shop.inonit.in, click here. You can also get in touch with them by calling on 022 40793333 or by writing to them at marketing@doodlemakeyourowndiary.com. So get or gift a Doodle today and watch people spill their personalities on paper!]]>http://www.inonit.in/node/2524Mon, 03 Jun 2013 09:52:59 GMTIf retail therapy is what you believe in, you just found your effective dose of accessories.

Passionate not just about home decor, but designs and designers too is Natasha Bohra as she thinks the designer vision to make the world a prettier place should be celebrated.

There will be stand-up comedy segments starring Anuvab Pal’s brand-new act, The Nation Still Wants to Know and comic gigs by East India Co.medy and Improv.

Women, because sarees make them look gorgeous and men, well, for the same reason! Introducing Aathmajaa, a new online store that retails out of a Facebook page, is home to a wide range of beautiful sarees, which are up for sale. Aathmajaa – Ethnic Studio was founded by Preethi Ravichandran and Bhuvanee Manogar in September 2012. This is a boutique that focuses on primarily two things that plague a woman while buying not just sarees, but any kind of apparel – the fabric and whether this is something that another woman owns. Aathamajaa takes care of both these concerns as their creations are unique and exclusive. You can also personalize your sarees with tiny details here and there! From traditional sarees with zari-brocade borders to hippitty sarees with blingy sequin borders, these guys have it all. They have also introduced a new concept, which they call the DIY saree that turns you into a designer. Follow the ABCD code and the saree of you dream can be yours. Call (A)athmajaa, quote your (B)udget, choose your (C)olours and select your (D)esign. Yes, it’s that simple! While they offer free shipping across India along with parcel tariffs to other places, they only accept online modes of payment. They recommend dry cleaning for their beautiful treasures and returns and exchanges can only be done within the first two days of the delivery.  To view these traditional goodies, visit their Facebook page here. You can also get in touch with them by calling on 09677123582 or 07299970516 or by writing to them at askaathmajaa@gmail.com.]]>
