The doctor order a cat scan

Mortkraken as cats

Wc: 470

Yuri

An Abyssinian, his short hair always sleek and groomed in place. He was given to you by a hospital whose pet cat had a litter.

He is so small but such a yapper, he screams his little head off when he sees Jiro limping, when his bowl is empty, when other cats get close. Noisy baby.

As stubborn as he is in refusing to play with you when you pull a laser or string and feathers, he LOVES those intellect puzzle toys where he has to follow a series of steps to get some treats, he sometimes meows or shows you the piece of treat he got hoping for praise. Please praise him, it makes him happy.

He is very particular about touching though, he is very fickle on it, sometimes you can rub his belly and brush his hair and sometimes even holding his paws to trim his nails in too much.

Even if Jiro is ‘alright’ and his scars mostly healed, Yuri insists on cleaning those zones for him, it's mostly his stomach and chest. He is so careful it takes him almost an hour to finish while Jiro stays still looking at the ceiling like a good patient.

If any of the other cats gets too close to him or Jiro (or near at all with Jin and frost!) he will start hissing like crazy but never bite or scratch, he hides behind Jiro who gives a half-hearted slap unless he feels it's about to become a real fight.

Jiro

A strangely big Mumbai cat that you found ran over in the street. After you took him to the vet and no one claimed him you kept him, having already caught affection for your big baby.

Cats are normally not very expressive by human standards but, compared to Yuri, he has a poker face. Unblinking staring into your soul as you drink coffee in the early morning.

You have to give him his medicine two times a day and even though it's really bitter he is such a responsible kitty and always brings the box or meowing at you.

Another one who doesn't play with typical toys or even entertains those puzzle games but he does seem to enjoy pulling at the flowers and weeds in your garden. He even has a little bunch of dried flowers he keeps around his bed.

Lingers around corners or nooks waiting for someone to pass by and scare them, if his victim has an amusing enough reaction his tail sways ever so slightly as he walks away. Yuri never fails in amusing him.

After his accident he can only stomach a very liquid diet that you have to supplement. Don't even think of giving him treats or anything because he will puke and the vet is expensive.

Birthday Greetings for May 10th , 2024

Saddened to hear the news of the passing away of Shri Ratan Lal Bhutoria , Father of our dear Ef Rohit Kumar Bhutoria .. Rohit's Father met with a road accident this morning and unfortunately could not survive .. as informed by Ef Sanjay Patodiya .. 😔🙏🏻 .. deeply shocked and grieved .. our very sincerest condolences to you , Rohit .. we hold your hand .. be strong .. the whole Ef Family with you .. in prayer and support .. 🙏🏻

..

Hard to put anything after this 💔 .. but the occasion for it's greatness I think it deserves a mention .. 🙏🏻

..

A bit of historic ”gyaan” today .. 🙏🏻

:

10 May In Indian History :

.. 10th May 1857 .. the great Indian rebellion .. the 1st war of independence against the British at Meerut .. the rebellion began in the form of a mutiny of sepoys of the East India Company's army in the garrison town of Meerut ..

Meerut is situated between the holy rivers Ganga and Yamuna ..

Thanks to its geographical importance, the fertile Ganga-Yamuna doab had been an important centre of human activities since the very early times of Vedic Civilisation.

From the medieval period onwards, the proximity of this city to Indraprastha (present day Delhi) helped it play an important role in the affairs of India.

With the capture of power by the British, Meerut became a major military centre. The aggrieved Indian soldiers of the British Army began their fight against the imperial powers in this soil on 10th May, 1857. They captured the control of the city in one day and marched to Red Fort in Delhi, which was considered to be the symbol of control over the whole of India. On their way, they were joined by the common people who shouted patriotic war cries. By the next morning, Red Fort had fallen into the hand of the freedom fighters.

It has been a bit of a history lesson .. and after which it would be too severe to write anymore .. but simply to say , that the time at the Studio Saptaswar was visited after many an hour and days .. and the sonorous sounds for an upcoming film of Abhishek .. and of my own Section 84 , was I felt , in keeping with the moment and the story and the emotion ..

so there's no hindi version of phoenix wright but it absolutely SHOULD exist because it would be so good listen-

(i am fully "localising" this because if the english and french versions of the game were allowed to then so am i, dammit)

it would take place in some big city in india, probably mumbai so that the steel samurai stuff can be connected to bollywood

the last time i was in mumbai i literally saw a japanese temple like down the road from my grandparents' building so the japanese influences aren't even that out of place. it's a big city okay, it could totally work

kurain village can be a "gaon" (village) somewhere in the maharastrian countryside. the fey manor even feels a lot like the big family houses you get out in gaon, though with a lot more japanese influence of course

the thought of pearl calling maya "maya didi" is melting my heart omg ("didi" means "big sister" but you can also use it on people who aren't literally your sister)

maya can still be called maya, it's a common name in india

and morgan would get so mad whenever phoenix doesn't call maya "maya-ji" ("ji" is a respectful suffix like "-sama" in japanese). he'd be like SHE'S MY BEST FRIEND, WHY TF WOULD I CALL HER "MAYA-JI"

edgeworth and gumshoe would have THE jai dixit and ali bhai dynamic from dhoom. without the motorbikes, of course. gumshoe would call people "yaar" instead of "pal" (it means the same thing).

larry is circuit. i don't know how else to put that. if you understand then you understand and if you don't, you don't.

speaking of, furio tigre would ABSOLUTELY refer to himself with the pronoun "apun" (a first-person pronoun often used by mafia-type characters) and call people "mamu" ("sucker")

OH AND WOCKY WOULD TOO. wocky would speak in the most munnabhai slang you ever heard. he would also mix english, hindi, marathi, gujarati, punjabi and bengali all in the same sentence. nigh incomprehensible.

lotta hart... while it makes sense to make her from south india, i feel like they get negatively stereotyped enough as is and they deserve better. so you know what? she can be gujju. lotta is from surat now and she talks like it. she's got that "hurati" accent. morgan fey hears her with her પાણી instead of पानी and ગોળી instead of गोली and is immediately like "get out >:("

wendy oldbag being one of those desi grannies is absolutely brilliant lmao

sister bikini being a desi auntie is even better

me and my brother have been calling hindi manfred von karma "manoj karma" for funsies so i've decided to keep it (the word "karma" is of indian origin so it works perfectly)

i haven't come up with pun names for people yet but phoenix, apollo and athena can keep their english first names. seriously, in mumbai you see places with those names all the time. especially apollo. it is inescapable.

^see? i was DYING. anyways

MAYA'S TRADEMARK FAVOURITE FOOD SHOULD BE PANI PURI ("gol guppa" for you dehli peeps), NO I AM NOT TAKING CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM

khura'in, being likely in the himalayas somewhere near bhutan (based on their climate and culture), would still be a few hours' plane journey from mumbai so it still works. a lot of the khura'inese characters can keep their same names too, eg "nahyuta sahdmadhi" already sounds very very sanskrit to my ears (sanskrit is the south asian equivalent of what latin is in europe). and also have you seen how he dresses because it's clearly a sherwani (indian/pakistani formal clothing) and amara's idle animation is clearly inspired by art of hindu deities and rafya's middle name is literally padma and oh my god there is so much shared cultural influence they are CLEARLY countries that border each other

(the "kh" sound strongly present in the khura'inese language is also giving me south asian vibes...)

me and my brother already joke about how shah rukh khan would totally make a great mr reus/roger retinz. LISTEN okay he absolutely would. he's got that villain swag.

you don't even need to change the other guy's real name ("manov mistree") because that already sounds like an indian name. do you know how common the surname "mistry" is in some parts?? do you know how many gazillions of people i personally know who have names that sound exactly like that??? and roger retinz is the ratings rajah. RAJAH (king). i've already been headcanoning him as desi since the first time i played aa6. anyway shah rukh khan character vibes

(but then again amir khan has literally played an evil magician in a bollywood movie before, so he could pull it off too i think...)

hindi has informal ("tu"), medium ("tum") and formal ("aap") second-person pronouns. you could have SO MUCH FUN with those. franziska would call literally everyone "tu" to assert dominance while edgeworth would call literally everyone "aap" to keep them distant. siblings amirite

franziska referring to miles as "mera chhota bhai" is actually killing me oh my god. that's her chhota bhai you guys skjdhkjfhldjssdrgse

feenie calling dahlia "dollie" works really well because i have like seven relatives with the nickname "dollie" so i'm presuming it must be common

oh yes, and mumbai does occasionally get earthquakes so the DL-6 incident still makes sense

india also has an active space programme so the UR-1 incident does too

and there's a monsoon season with storms so the SL-9 incident does as well ahahhahahhaa this is sO GOOD (okay in all fairness the monsoon season is not in february, when the case takes place... whatever whatever it's FINE i can make it work somehow)

you can use three scripts for the one translation -- english romanisation (for NRIs like me who suck at hindi...), the devanagari script commonly used to write hindi, and the urdu script so that urdu speakers can play too (for the most part the languages are mutually intelligible, you wouldn't need to change the dialogue at all, only the writing system)

if anyone out there is better at hindi than i am and wants to make a fan translation please do, it would be so iconic

Daniel Handler on living in San Fran

I moved to New York because New York was the center of everything literary. And I moved away from it for the same reason. (...) I wanted to work someplace where I wasn't attending a release party for every book written by everybody I knew. (...) There are all these books about young people in Manhattan. I think because San Francisco doesn't have a notion of itself as the center of the world, you're more likely to write about something else that interests you.

Daniel Handler's recommendations on places to visit in San Francisco

If you are not frightened of the cold, head over to the Dolphin Club and ring the bell. Wait for a while. Eventually someone will open the door and you will put a small amount of money into an envelope and sign a piece of paper saying you understand you are about to do something foolish. Then, go change into your bathing suit and swim in the Bay. It is very cold but you will see many beautiful things, including old ships, which you may touch, and sea lions, which you may not. A good thing to do while waiting for someone to answer the door is read a new book you have picked up at Green Apple, Booksmith, City Lights or any other of my town's amazing bookstores. If you see me in the water, I do not need rescuing although it might look like it.

Daniel Handler on the changes of San Francisco

“Changing” is a word applied so readily to “San Francisco” nowadays that it sounds like the town changed its name: I grew up in San Francisco, but I now live in Changing San Francisco. Twenty years ago, when it was just San Francisco and Lisa Brown was just my girlfriend, we didn’t see any wild animals around our apartment. Probably the wildest thing in our neighborhood was a sex club called Eros. We never visited it, and it was nondescript from the outside, but there’d been some articles about it, or maybe a piece on the radio, so people always asked us about it. “We live right near it,” we used to tell them. “It’s near our video store.” Nowadays, though, in Changing San Francisco, everyone asks about the tech industry. The tech industry is the presumed source of all changes in Changing San Francisco, from traffic to homeless encampments, from the new businesses that are springing up to the old ones closing their doors.

Daniel Handler on San Francisco and its tech industry

My novel has the tech industry in it, if only because it would be impossible to write about San Francisco without mentioning it, the way it would be impossible to write about Paris without mentioning food, or Mumbai without mentioning colonialism, and like food or colonialism or any other knotty topic, I’m not always sure what I’m talking about. I never hear the latest news or buy the latest gadget, but, like everyone else, I’m now guided on road trips by a talking map, even to places I’ve been countless times. If I’m on foot and I want to go home, I can summon a stranger who will drive me there and I don’t even have to talk to them. I give them all five stars, the highest rating. I don’t have the bona fide know-how to chart the tech industry’s influence, but I know it’s having an effect on San Francisco, or taking a toll is maybe what I mean. We now have a culture of tech bros in my city, although ���tech bro,” as with “hipster” or “yuppie” before that, is a term only applied to other people. “I hate tech bros,” is something I’ve heard from more than one person who makes what any reasonable person would call a ton of money working for an internet site everyone uses. Twenty years ago, nobody said this, although, of course, people spouting nonsense is not a new phenomenon in San Francisco, or anywhere else.

Daniel Handler on scheming to get his wife to agree to move to San Francisco

I married a New England woman. She’s from a family where you live in Manhattan until you have a child, and then you move to Long Island. Or if you’re a rebel, Connecticut. That’s kind of what I thought was maybe going to happen. But also I’m a big propagandist for San Francisco, too. When she and I were first dating we spent a summer here, and I pretended that every spectacular thing that I took her to was a thing I’d stumbled upon. Like, “Oh, I’m hungry, do you want to have some dumplings right here? Could you use a little pick-me-up? Let’s just stop by Cafe Trieste! We’ll have an espresso. I go here sometimes …” Everything was the most spectacular version. And then I kept saying, “I’ll live anywhere, it doesn’t really matter to me!”

ARC REVIEW: Match Me if You Can by Swati Hegde

3.5/5. Releases 6/4/24.

Vibes: Emma, heroines who gotta learn, slow burn, friends to lovers

Heat Level: 2/10

Mumbai-based Jia spends her days writing silly listicles for women's magazine Mimosa. On her off time, however, she works on her anonymous blog, giving what she thinks is very real talk... even if she's in denial about her own true feelings. She wants to get upgraded to a new column--but the only way she can is by helping her coworker find love. Thing is, Jia herself doesn't even realize that her longtime family friend Jaiman has a thing for her. Maybe... more than a thing.

Alright--if you're at all familiar with Jane Austen's Emma, I'm sure you can tell that this is an Emma retelling. I've actually been seeing a lot of Emma retellings lately; but that's not a bad thing for me, as Emma is by far my favorite Austen.

The skinny on this one is that, at least from my perspective it's very cute and well-written. It's a romcom with wit, and there's certainly a lot of chemistry between Jia and Jaiman. I love the setting (it's shockingly rare to find an English-language romcom novel that isn't set in America, and even harder to find one set in India). I enjoy the tone. It's not reinventing the wheel; it goes in the directions that a lot of Emma retellings do. For me, too... I don't mind that it was closed door, per se. However, there were moments cut off in a way that left me thinking "but why?"

The answer is that it was the author's prerogative, and that's valid. I just feel like we were kind of left in a place where there was teasing--and if there wasn't going to be anything, why tease, I suppose?

But nonetheless--if you want a light, fluffy romcom that happens to be closed door, and if you love Emma, I would recommend this.

Quick Takes:

--One way in which this book differs from Emma and that Jia and Jaiman have what I'll call a near-miss about a year prior to the novel's beginning. To me, this was really clever. First off, it swerves away from the typical Emma setup, adding a little tension that I really appreciated. Second, it makes Jia a more interestingly human character, to me. She knows there's this tension, she knows there's something between herself and Jaiman, she just doesn't want to confront it.

--Personally, I think modern Emma retellings arguably work better in a setting wherein matchmaking is still a thing. Jia is nothing if not a consummate matchmaker, and I feel like this plays so well in a book set in Mumbai, where matchmaking is a feasible career (not that it can't be in the west--but it's less common, obviously).

--Like I said: this is a slow burn. Jia and Jaiman have known each other since childhood. Feelings have been there for a long time. So while I understood, and to an extent I mean, it's there in the material... I just wanted them to kiss. I wanted something to happen. Although the book is closed door, that doesn't mean they can't get together earlier in the novel (I'm thinking of a closed door romance by Alexis Hall that I enjoyed not so long ago). It did drag a bit for me.

And ultimately, for all the theoretical tension, that lack of interaction in a romantic sense did keep it from going as far as it could have. I don't mean sexually--I mean as a love story.

That being said--if you're not sure about sex scenes, if you like a slow burn, and you want an Austen update that makes sense... This could be great for you!

Thanks to NetGalley and Dell for providing me with a copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Rangeelo Rajasthan: Padharo Mhare Des

Jan 3, 2024

Uncategorized

Having lived in Rajasthan for 18 odd years and some 24 years in NCR, I have always wanted to explore the western side of Rajasthan which includes Jodhpur and Jaisalmer. This land of abundant sun, sand and soil was still mysterious to me and evaded me for long until I got an opportunity to go on a road trip this winter of 2023.

Gliding through the glazing smooth butter roads starting from Mumbai expressway in Gurgaon to Jodhpur in Rajasthan, the drive was very smooth except some parts near Ajmer where some re – laying of roads was being carried on but that failed to dampen my enthusiasm in any way.

We touched down Jodhpur by 3 pm and checked into Rani Mahal, an erstwhile haveli run by a mother daughter duo. This 450 years old haveli purchased by Sri Vinod Sa Bhandari against her wife’s wishes was turned into a hotel in 2014. Little did she know that it would become her lifeline and lifelong companion in the time to come when her husband passed away in corona in 2020. From fighting all odds, facing all challenges to supporting her very young kids and putting up a bold facade and protecting her grieving and vulnerable self, she rose to the occasion and took the reins of the hotel in her hands. Smt Nisha Bhandari along with her daughter Ms Mitali Bhandari,is right here at the hotel in the morning to attend to her patrons, asking for feedback, supervising the property and gradually learning the tricks of hospitality industry day by day. Located against the majestic Mehrangarh fort in Nauchowkia, Fatehpur road, Rani Mahal provides a very unique and authentic experience to the guests of living in the city and of the vibrant markets around.

The interiors of Rani Mahal are quite impressive. It houses 19 rooms, all of which are done differently and gives you the feel of what life the maharajas and maharanis of the bygone days must have lived .Breakfast at the terrace against the Mehrangarh fort in the winter chill and sunshine is a different experience altogether . Dinner again at the terrace with live folk music playing adds a dash of charm to your excitement .Lunch is served in the cosy ambience of the ground floor .

One can visit Toorji ka Jhalra, a stepwell constructed in 1740 which is very near to Rani Mahal. One will be surprised to see a very modern market that has come up there in the midst of the old city, near clock tower for the tourists; catering to all your couturial needs and handicrafts for your homes.

A 5 mins walk from Rani Mahal will lead you the major tourist attraction of Jodhpur, yes, you got it right! It’s the Majestic Mehrangarh Fort. Indulge in some adventurous activities before indulging in its historic grandeur .The zip lining at 6 levels is a major draw for the adventurous lot. You get an amazing experience of zipping through lakes, above the fort and enjoy some good aerial views of the fort and the city.

Zip-Lining at Mehrangarh Fort (Agency- Flying Fox)

Once inside the fort, you travel back to old times and remain awestruck looking at the weaponry, the relics, the vibrant costumes and turbans ,the massive palaquins, the huge howdahs used by the members of the royal family. The grandeur and architectural beauty of the fort including the sheesh mahal, Phool mahal have to be seen to be believed.

The restaurant in the fort offers you some really good Rajasthani cuisine like dal- bati churma, traditional thali besides other cuisines . I can vouch that all over Rajasthan ,you will always find good food . The spices used are qualitatively very good but again you will have to savour it to believe it.

Village safari is another tourist attraction that you can pack in your itinerary. The jeep picks you up from the designated point and the driver cum guide takes you to the Bishnoi village enlightening and immersing you with the different aspects of their culture . Not many know that the Bishnoi community of 15 000/ people have a place in history as we read about the ‘chipko movement’. Some 439 bishnois had laid down their lives to prevent the felling of Khejari trees which are sacred to them .Not many know again that it’s the same community that was behind Salman khan’s imprisonment for the infamous black buck hunting case .They believe that their guru Jambkeshwar has been reborn as Black buck, hence the respect for the creature is something that they will never compromise with. Bishnoi, as they got the name from Hindi words for 20 and 9. They believe in 29 principles, hence the name of the community. The foremost principle of their culture is that they don’t burn the dead bodies but bury them as they believe that a lot of wood is burned and wasted in the process. They worship trees, nature and wildlife. Secondly, they hold women in high esteem. The female mukhiya has a distinct appearance from the rest of the ladies in the family like she wears a red skirt, a red turban, a nath and a heavy anklet .

The male mukhiya wears a white turban. He prepares very diligently a drink made of opium which is used to relax their bodies and also on occasions like wedding. They do not take any kind of medicines ,whatsoever ,but rely only on opium for any aches or illnesses but they understand that moderate consumption is the key.

As you navigate further into the open village, you can see black bucks, nilgais, peacocks chinkaras and foxes openly roaming and grazing without fear . You also get to see the live workshop by durry weavers.A durry can take 140 hours of weaving by 2 people on the loom. Cotton and camel wool are used for durry making. The former can fetch double the amount while the latter is cheaper and non- dyeable too.

Block printing live workshops are very interesting to witness. It’s amazing to see vegetable colors and natural dyes being used to transform some plain drab cloth into a vibrant and valuable printed cloth. It’s notable that different castes like chipa, Patels, Bishnois are identified by the different clothes they wear . It’s like understanding that clothes are their I – cards.

As we move to our another district Jaisalmer on roads paved to perfection, I see vast stretches of barren land sans any high rises , my eyes unaccustomed to see. As far as you can see, there are herds of cattle, sheep, cows, goats claiming their land ; turbaned men on charpoys leisurely pulling out the day with no haste ; carefree kids playing some local games and women carrying haystacks on their heads to be used as fodder for the cattle or fuel for cooking.

Enroute Jaisalmer, one can see dates farms and vendors selling so many different varieties of dates that we may not even have heard the names before.

There are certain interesting things you can do like jeep safari, dune bashing, camel riding and parasailing on the Thar desert against the backdrop of the rising sun or against the sun set. Both of these times offer exclusive experiences to cherish.

As I bid adieu to the desert , my heart longs to come back once again and re witness its charm and glory ; savour it’s traditional food ; immerse in the folk music and dance  and imbibe the simplicity of this land of sand.

What does that mean for you? Well, if you work in IT or any of the nearby business centers, your daily commute will be a breeze. No more endless hours spent stuck in traffic! Plus, the proximity to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway ensures easy travel to and from other parts of the city or even Mumbai.

But it’s not just about work. Hinjewadi also offers a vibrant lifestyle with easy access to malls, entertainment centers, restaurants, and healthcare facilities. The convenience of having Phoenix Mall of the Millennium, Life Point Hospital, and a variety of dining options nearby makes day-to-day life much easier.

Spacious and Modern Homes

When I visited the Rahul Aston project, I was immediately impressed by the thoughtfully designed homes. Whether you're looking for a 2 or 3 BHK apartment, the layouts are spacious and full of natural light. Rahul Aston Hinjewadi has made sure that these homes aren’t just about space—they’re about modern living. The interiors feel sleek and contemporary, with stylish fittings and smart features like video door phones and CCTV security.

Each home is designed to make the most of the available space, giving you that open and airy feel. You don’t feel boxed in, which is a big plus in city living. Whether you’re a young couple, a family, or even someone looking to downsize, you’ll find that these homes cater to your needs.

Amenities to Elevate Your Lifestyle

What sets Rahul Aston apart from many other residential projects are its fantastic amenities. Honestly, it’s not just a place to live—it’s a place to thrive. The project offers a swimming pool for those hot Pune summers, a gym for your fitness needs, and even a sky lounge where you can unwind and take in the city views.

But it doesn’t stop there. For families, the kids’ play area and landscaped gardens are great for letting the little ones run around safely. There’s also a co-working space—something that really caught my attention given how many of us are working from home these days. Imagine having a dedicated, modern workspace just steps away from your home. It’s perfect for remote workers or even small business owners.

Community and Security

A home is more than just four walls; it’s also about the community you’re part of. Rahul Aston Hinjewadi feels like a place where you can build that sense of belonging. The grand entrance lobby welcomes you with style, giving the entire place a luxurious vibe. And let’s not forget about security. With 24/7 CCTV surveillance and smart door systems, you can rest easy knowing your family is safe.

Why I Recommend Rahul Aston Hinjewadi

After spending time exploring Rahul Aston, it’s easy to see why it’s one of the best options for those looking to buy a home near Pune’s IT hub. The location makes it perfect for professionals working in Hinjewadi, but it also offers the kind of amenities and modern design that will appeal to families and individuals alike.

And here’s the best part: with prices starting from ₹97.77L for a 2 BHK and ₹1.15Cr for a 3 BHK, you’re getting excellent value for your investment. For homes that offer this level of luxury, space, and convenience, it’s worth every penny.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a home that offers a mix of comfort, modern amenities, and unbeatable connectivity, Rahul Aston Hinjewadi should definitely be on your radar. It’s a project that’s not just about offering a place to live, but a place where you can truly enjoy life. Whether it’s relaxing by the pool, working in the co-working lounge, or just coming home to a beautifully designed space, Rahul Aston delivers on all fronts.

So, what are you waiting for? If you’re in the market for a 2 or 3 BHK in Pune, give Rahul Aston Hinjewadi a serious look. I’m pretty sure you’ll be as impressed as I was! Visit: www.rahulaston-hinjewadi.com

If you're staying at hotels near Juhu Beach, like The Empresa Hotel, you're in the perfect spot to catch a beachside sunrise or explore the nearby Versova Beach. Both beaches are great places to relax, people-watch, and even indulge in a game of beach cricket with locals.

One of Mumbai's best hotels, the Empresa Hotel, is a fantastic place for festival-goers to start their stay because of its exceptional services.

6. Indulge in a Spa Day at The Empresa Hotel

November is also an excellent month to treat yourself to some self-care and time off. The health retreats offered by the Empresa Hotel are a fantastic way to get away from the bustle of the city. One of Andheri West's best hotels, it offers luxurious spa services to help you unwind. Take advantage of a body treatment, massage, or facial to help you refuel before your travel to Mumbai.

7. Explore Mumbai's Iconic Heritage Sites

November is a great month to visit Mumbai's historical sites because of the pleasant weather.

These well-known locations are convenient for hotels in Juhu and Andheri West and offer a unique blend of architectural grandeur and cultural immersion.

Conclusion

November is a very pleasant month in Mumbai due of the ideal weather for outdoor pursuits, seeing local attractions, and taking walks along the shore.

Importance Of Auto Rickshaw & Hoarding Advertising For Your Jewelry Business

The Auto Rickshaw Advertising in Mumbai is offering everyone with excellent quality ad designing services to everyone at economical prices. Today, in this article, we are going to shed some light on the importance of auto rickshaw & hoarding advertising for your jewelry business.

1. Widespread Reach

Auto Rickshaw Advertising covers a wide area, as these vehicles constantly move through busy streets, residential areas, and marketplaces. This mobile advertising ensures that your jewelry brand reaches diverse locations and a large, varied audience.

Hoardings (Billboards) are placed in high-traffic areas, ensuring maximum visibility to both pedestrians and drivers. Strategically placed near malls, jewelry markets, and commercial areas, hoardings can attract attention from potential customers who are already in a buying mindset.

2. Cost-Effective Visibility

Both Auto Rickshaw and Hoarding Advertising are relatively affordable compared to digital or print media. Auto rickshaws, in particular, offer an economical way to maintain constant visibility in densely populated areas. Hoardings, while slightly more expensive, provide long-term exposure to a steady stream of traffic.

3. Targeting Local Audience

Auto Rickshaw Advertising allows you to directly target your local audience, especially in busy markets, where potential customers are likely to shop for jewelry. It's a great way to reach neighborhoods where your potential customers live.

Hoardings placed near jewelry stores, shopping districts, or luxury residential areas can target those already in the market for high-end products like jewelry.

4. High Brand Recall

Auto Rickshaws with your jewelry brand's vibrant and eye-catching ads are memorable, and since people see them repeatedly as they commute, it helps with brand recall.

Hoardings are large and impactful, and when placed in prominent locations, they leave a lasting impression on anyone who passes by. This increased visibility helps build trust and recognition for your brand.

5. Enhanced Credibility

Hoardings give your jewelry brand a sense of prestige and credibility. Large, well-designed hoardings convey that your business is established and trustworthy, which is critical in an industry like jewelry, where customers value reliability.

Auto Rickshaw Ads reinforce your brand's presence in everyday life, keeping your jewelry business top of mind for both current and potential customers.
