National, May 03, 2017: One of the most popular mythology writers of our times, Amish launched the book cover of his highly-awaited Book 2 in the Ram Chandra series – ‘Sita-Warrior of Mithila’ today. The cover launch of this thrilling adventure that chronicles the rise of Lady Sita was held atTitle Waves Bookstore in Mumbai.At the book cover launch, the renowned author was accompanied by none-other-than the Bollywood Actress and Producer, Raveena Tandon.

Amish’s new book, which revolves around Lady Sita, defies the image we have of the Goddess and portrays Lady Sita as a feminist icon. Amish’s new book cover perfectly captures her as a fearless warrior. A powerful Lady Sita is shown on the book cover with her lathi, single-handedly fighting a crowd of men who have come to abduct her.

Commenting on the cover launch for the book, Amish said, “Ancient India witnessed a far more equal social set-up than we have today. The cover depicts Lady Sita to be a fearless warrior and the book will capture her journey from an adopted child to a fierce warrior and then becoming a Goddess.”

Raveena rightly emulates the spirit of the modern woman, who is independent and powerful much like Amish’s Lady Sita. It is fitting that the actress graced the event to unveil the cover of the book.

Talking about the cover of the book, Raveena Tandon said, “In ancient India, women held positions of power and led countries as queens and fiercely fought on the battlefield. They enjoyed more freedom and respect from the society. It is great to see that Amish is bringing that alive through Lady Sita and the cover beautifully illustrates her as a true warrior.”

The brand has always focused on cricket as a platform in its endeavor to connect with the consumers especially the youth. While it is the official partner of ICC starting 2016, it has strengthened the relationship further with the sport by associating with BCCI and becoming the official sponsor of Team India.

“Cricket is a sport full of vigor and passion enjoyed by the youth of India. We believe that we share the same passion and spirit of pursuit of perfection as cricket that makes this association a perfect fit.” Said Mr. Sky Li, OPPO’s Global Vice President and President of OPPO India. “By partnering with the team, OPPO will not only further enhance its connection with the young consumers, but also engage with the country’s youth in its endeavor of providing them with the outstanding selfie-led photography experience.” He added.

“One for Selfie, One for Group selfie “The Double View Group Selfie Camera gives a larger field-of-view, twice larger view than a normal selfie camera. The 6P lens maintains a high-level of professional image quality with minimal image distortion. This ensures that you click perfect Group Selfies!

For your individual selfies, switch to the other front camera which utilizes 16 MP resolution, 1/3-inch sensor and a large f/2.0 aperture. It sports high dynamic range, vivid depth and minimized noise. Comparing to previous F1s, OPPO made further improvements and optimization to its performance. Under a strongly-lit background, the selfie will not be over-exposed, and the overall image is more real. When shooting in a poorly-lit place or at night, the noise granularity is also significantly reduced to make the selfie more vivid and clearer.

With the built-in Smart Facial Recognition, the F3 will notify users to switch to ‘Group Selfie’ mode if there are more than three people in the frame. Users can snap their Group Selfie at ease, without compromising image stability when taking selfie with one hand.

The OPPO F3 is also equipped with a 13 MP rear camera that has a 1/3-inch sensor. It is able to maximize light sensitivity, making for wonderful night time performance.

Privacy protection and security is also a top priority. The F3 uses an advanced solid-state fingerprint reader, so that only a slight touch is enough to unlock the device. Equipped with a hydrophobic membrane the fingerprint reader has an enhanced success rate even when a user’s fingers are moist.

Stunning Design and Exquisite Craftsmanship

With a lighter and thinner 5.5-inch body, the F3 contributes to a matchlessly comfortable grip. The smooth texture of the lustrous metal back panel repels dust and is a pleasure to hold. Every detail of the F3 comes together to give an impression of mercurial grace and beauty. Equipped with in-cell technology, the FHD in-cell display of F3 decreases 1/4 of the normal screen thickness, thus giving the whole screen a high rate of penetration and a bright image. So, what you see will be noticeably more brilliant and vibrant even in the sunlight.

Amazing Colors & Competitive Pricing

May, 2017 –Fossil, the original innovator of the fashion watch, is proud to unveil its latest campaign highlighting a new collection of Hybrid and Touchscreen Smartwatches.  The campaign titled ‘Fossil Firsts’ features actress Kristen Bell, actor and musician Leslie Odom Jr., Black-ish star Yara Shahidi, and singer Austin Mahone each who tell intimate stories of personal and professional milestones shared with their first Fossil.

The campaign taps into the nostalgia and memories associated with one’s first Fossil watch, while celebrating a new generation of Fossil Firsts with the introduction of new Hybrid and Touchscreen Smartwatches. As the watch industry has changed, Fossil continues to do what it has always done best: focus on innovative style and technology to reinvent the watch for a new generation of fans.

“We know that this is a pivotal moment in the watch industry, and Fossil is leading the revolution to reinvent the traditional watch through the innovative design and technology found in our Hybrid Smartwatches,” said Jill Elliott, Chief Creative Officer. “Your first watch was likely a Fossil watch, but as customer behaviors and preferences have evolved, so have we. Our ability to merge fashion and design with emerging technologies makes us the perfect choice to be our customer’s first smartwatch.”

Young stars Yara Shahidi and Austin Mahone represent the generation of first Fossil wearers making new memories with these time-honored pieces. Kristen Bell and Leslie Odom Jr. embody the watch wearer that has grown up with Fossil and has seen the brand, much like themselves, evolve over the years. Whether their “firsts” are early acting roles before becoming established TV and film stars, or burgeoning performances leading to sold out arenas and theaters—all four cast members share an authentic relationship with the brand and continue to let their past inspire their future.

The campaign, running throughout the remainder of 2017, will feature all of the latest updates in the Fossil smartwatch collection for both men and women: Q Accomplice, Q Activist, Q Venture and Q Explorist. The hybrid smartwatches will launch in summer and new touchscreen devices powered by Android Wear™ throughout fall and holiday.

Fossil has set out to reinvent the watch (and the watch industry). Made for the passionately curious, one-of-a-kind, inspired individuals who still remember their first kiss or their first big break—this campaign celebrates all of those “firsts”. Fossil will be there for every failure, success and celebration on the path to finding life’s next memorable moment.

A new generation of fashion experts is studying in Helsinki

Appliquéd Arabic numerals, railway-track-style chapter ring and characteristic feuille hands: the Portugieser Chronograph Classic has all the stylistic attributes of a  typical Portugieser. And now, IWC Schaffhausen is unveiling a revised edition of this timeless IWC-manufactured chronograph, featuring an even more purist dial design in three new colour combinations.

For almost 80 years, the Portugieser has been  synonymous with timeless design and watchmaking perfection. The Reference 3904 – the third Chronograph in the Portugieser family – was presented for the first time in 2013, yet it still retains the unmistakable character of the originals from the 1930s. IWC is now reissuing the Portugieser  Chronograph Classic (Ref. 3903) with a slightly revised and updated design. The dial with the typical Portugieser railway-trackstyle chapter ring looks even neater than its predecessor without the subdivision of the seconds, while the watch as a whole has a more modern impact thanks to the convex sapphire glass.

The top-of-the-line version has an 18-carat red gold case and a silver-plated dial, as well as golden hands and appliqués. It is fitted with a hand-finished brown alligator leather strap. Two models are available with a stainless-steel case and a black alligator leather strap. One features a silver-plated dial and blue hands and appliqués, while the other has a midnight blue dial and rhodium-plated hands and appliqués.

When it comes to the technical components inside these watches, IWC relies on the aspect of continuity: the new Chronographs are still driven by the tried-and-tested  IWC-manufactured 89361 calibre with flyback function, self-winding system and a power reserve of 68 hours. The recorded time is particularly easy to read on the combined hour and minute counter at “12 o’clock”. A see-through sapphire-glass back provides a view of the movement and the rotor, which is adorned with Geneva stripes.

The new Portugieser Chronograph Classic models are available now in IWC boutiques and from authorised IWC dealers.

Abidjan, Côte d’Ivoire, 11 May 2017 – The tremendous opportunity for Africa’s fashion industry will attract global attention at the 2017 Annual Meetings of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in India.

An estimated 3000 Annual Meetings attendees will get a feel of the flavor of the work of these creative stylists. Beautifully dressed models will walk the catwalk to show how African fabrics are inspiring more and more famous designers.

“Fashion is not just about design or inspiration. It’s also a multi-million dollar industry that creates millions of jobs, including in textile and clothing manufacturing,” says Emanuela Gregorio, gender specialist at the AfDB.

Through its Fashionomics initiative, AfDB is supporting the development of creative industries that utilize products, especially cotton, in Africa.    Through this initiative, AfDB is promoting investments in the fashion sector, increasing access to finance for entrepreneurs and incubating and accelerating starts-ups.

At a session on Creating Wealth through Fashonomics, experts and practitioners will discuss methods of promoting textile manufacturing in Africa -where many of the textile and clothing firms are small and medium enterprises (SMEs). It will also set agenda for how the involvement of African countries in the global textile industry could look like (from conception and design).

Drawing on its High-5 Agenda, the Bank is investing in high-growth sectors that have the potential to promote economic empowerment and create 25 million jobs over the next decade.

The Bank considers the creative industries as offering massive potential for continent-wide job and gross domestic product (GDP) growth. For instance, instead of exporting raw cotton, Africa needs to move to the top of the global value chain and produce garments targeted at the growing African and global consumer class

The textile/clothing market is already worth more than US$31 billion in Sub-Saharan Africa and accounts for the second largest number of jobs in developing countries after agriculture, many of whom are women and young people.

In Côte d’Ivoire, women own 80 percent of businesses in the industry and close to half of the entrepreneurs are under the age of 35. These are also mostly SMEs. Only 33 percent work with local suppliers.

In Ethiopia, a pioneer in the textile industry in the region with more than 40,000 employees, salaries are three times lower than in Côte d’Ivoire and the cost of electricity remains low  due to availability of hydropower, and inputs are affordably priced.

It is expected that the textile clothing industry could generate 400,000 jobs in Sub-Saharan Africa alone and exports could double in the next 10 years.

By combining a fashion show and panel discussion, the India Fashionomics session will use the global value chains in textiles to illustrate possibilities for African agriculture-related industrialization which are typically debated in the abstract.

 The 2017 Annual Meetings of the African Development Bank (AfDB) Group will be held on May 22-26, 2017 in Ahmedabad, India. This year’s Annual Meetings are focusing on Transforming Agriculture for Wealth Creation in Africa.

Week long workshops, tours and performances starting May 15

Mumbai, May 12, 2017: To commemorate the vast diversities of India’s cultural industries, GVK MIAL’s Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, the metropolitan’s integrated terminal that hosts India’s largest public art program – Jaya He, will organize a weeklong passenger engagement activities at the iconic Terminal 2, starting May 15^th, to mark the World International Museum Day.  This is for the first time that such a unique initiative will be taken by any international airport within its premises.

Organized annually on May 18 by the International Council of Museums (ICOM), this initiative is a collective effort by museum communities across the globe to raise awareness about the significant role that museums have played in the shaping and development of societies.

Drawing inspiration from this year’s theme of “Museums and contested Histories: Saying the unspeakable in Museums”, MIAL has planned a host of exquisite activities for travelers which will include workshops, tours, and folk/traditional musical performances. Through this initiative, the airport aims to apprise passengers about India’s unheard legacies, narratives, historical background and facilitate cultural exchanges amongst travelers transiting through the city.

In addition to this, with the objective of fostering an interest in India’s multicultural legacy through artistic expression, well-known artists and architects from the city will engage with students to enlighten them about the fusion of art and architecture in the context of India’s rich culture and history. The Jaya He Museum previously conducted an educational outreach programme by hosting 200 school students, in the 12-14 year age group, from across the city.

During the week, the airport has also arranged a ‘museum safari’ for travelers and passengers, reiterating the airport’s commitment in this direction. The program entails a brief 15-minute tour of the various artifacts and installations across four levels at the airport. This initiative will give travellers a chance to get a glimpse of the country’s rich cultural heritage, by giving them an opportunity to view over 7000 artworks, created by 100s artists and artisans from across India. Travellers will also get an opportunity to indulge in some lip smacking regional delicacies from Kerala and Kashmir at select locations, offered free of cost while they get a visual treat of the exquisite artworks.

Under the patronage of the Jaya He art initiative, The Jaya He Museum Store at T2 will provide a platform to Indian artist, craft persons and designers to showcase their creativity and proficiency. On this occasion, the store is bringing to the forefront award winning artists to exhibit their work. These include renowned names Trilok Soni, Rabindra Behera, Dr. Ismail Khatri, Kalyan Joshi, Kapil Jangid, Kamini Kaushal, D.Vaikuntam, Sukhnandi Vyam & Rajesh Vangad  who have been conferred with National/State Award for Pichwai, Pattachitra, Ajrakh printing, Phad painting, Sandal wood carving,  Madhubani on Papermache , Cherial scroll painting, wood carving and Warli respectively, to name a few.

The Jaya He Museum was conceptualized as an extension of the uniquely Indian aesthetic of the Terminal 2, where modern technologies fuse seamlessly with traditional knowledge. The many-layered narrative is a multi-disciplinary exhibition of the various facets of Indian arts and crafts, showcasing the techniques of artisans from different regions of the country. The various artifacts and installations were curated with the view to distil and interpret the spirit of India, offering visitors a quintessential reception to Mumbai, and India at large.

In 2016, more than 35,000 museums in close to 145 countries participated in ICOM’s International Museum Day.

In her forty-seven year old career, yesteryears diva, Zeenat Aman sings for the first time in her upcoming web series Love Life & Screw Ups!!!

Interestingly, the lines which she has sung in the song has mentions of dialogues from her previous iconic films. Initially, Zeenat was very reluctant to sing as she is not a trained singer. In fact the music director recorded the song with a professional singer. “But I was not satisfied. As this song is introduction of the persona of Joanna, her character name in the series. And Joanna’s persona is the combination of her memorable, full of life roles like in Yaadon KI Baraat, Heera Panna and Manoranjan. I wanted that nostalgic essence.

Somehow, I convinced her to come to the recording studio and just give a try. We promised her that if her voice is not sounding right, we shall not keep her voice and will get it dubbed by another singer. Surprisingly, in her first take itself, the song got okay as her rendition was totally in sur”, says the director Kapil Kaustubh Sharma excitedly.  Composer Nikhil Kamath adds “I was overwhelmed and surprised by the voice quality and energy she has at this age!” This song is picturized on Zeenat in various episodes.”. The shoot of the series is complete and it is scheduled for May online release. In April, it has a world premiere at a prestigious film festival in Poland.

The series is a feel good romantic comedy, targeted for the Indian as well as international audience. It is a first Indian series, in which along with Zeenat, there are various popular names like Mita Vashisht, Dolly Thakore, Yuvraaj Parashar, Diandra Soares, Sonali Raut, Sushant Divgikar, etc. Bappi Lahiri has sung a song in it. Recently its trailer was showcased at the Nashik Film Festival.  It’s again a first time in Bollywood, for a series to showcase its trailer at an international film festival. Its trailer goes online on 4^th April on You Tube channel Aum Web Studios.
