Social Media Initiative #NaMoInspiresMe is starting the SM Campaign #खादी_गाथा . This is basically a campaign to create an awareness about KHADI among the masses.

Campaign Background:
KHADI is a hand spun, hand woven fabric. The fabric that was once synonyms to self reliance, empowerment is in a sorry stage.

Today KHADI weavers are looking for alternatives for their livelihood.

So its high time we must restore the past glory associated with KHADI.

Our beloved PM MODI JI understood the urgency of it n made an appeal at various platforms to buy KHADI.

Our Minister of State for MSME GIRIRAJ JI has gone all out to come up with the mechanism to generate employment via KHADI.

So lets be the voice. Lets talk about KHADI, and the problems associated with it. Lets find out the solutions.

Welcome 2014....

Hi friends,

Wishing you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR. 

May this year bring all the happiness and opportunities to fulfill all your dreams.

Since this is the first blog post of the year, I thought of doing something new and different to build a strong bonding between us.

So lets start...

ANUJ SINGH & BASANT RAI

To introduce myself again, I am a fashion professional with 15 years of experience into the industry and Anuj Singh is a qualified dentist turned entrepreneur. On paper our diverse background may seem jarring but this disparity only makes us more cohesive pair. Since we first came together as business partners in 2009, we launched our designer label IN SYNC - basant anuj and our event management company have organized some memorable events. In a carefree conversation moderated by our friend Anushka, we talk about the year that was and our plans for 2014.

ANUSHKA: The year 2013 was not a very good year for you as an event manager.
ANUJ: In terms of visibility you can say that because we did only 6 shows in the whole year. But contrary to the popular belief I would say we emerged as a complete winner as an event manager.

ANUSHKA: I didn't get it, explain me how?
BASANT: Okey. Instead of taking up the assignments we were concentrating on building up our own event properties last year. And you also know that the ultimate dream of an event manager is to have their own event property that grows over the period.
ANUJ: See, at times its important to take a break from the mundane, see the things in prospective and move ahead rather then going with the flow.

ANUSHKA: So what all event properties you have worked on?
BASANT: There is this MR & MISS COSMIC INDIA which is a national level pageant where the winners goes on to represent India at the international pageants. And we will end the year with MR & MISS COSMIC WORLD which is an international pageant. Infact this will be the only International Pageant organized in India.
ANUJ: And we have ECO FASHION WEEK INDIA coming up. This is the first and only fashion week of India dedicated to eco and sustainable fashion.

ANUSHKA: That's great. You mean to say you would not be doing other events.
ANUJ: No. That is not the case. Its just that last year we were at the starting phase of building these properties so we could not take up the other assignments.
BASANT: As a matter of fact this month we have 3 events lined up that starts from 8th Jan where we are scouting talented and beautiful girls for FEMINA MISS INDIA 2014, which is a Times of India property.

ANUSHKA: And what's up with your designer label IN SYNC - basant anuj?
BASANT: we are working on it. Our next collection is called the 'CUTTING CHAI'.
ANUJ: And we are taking  crowd funding route to reach to the maximum people.

ANUSHKA: Basant, you have really neglected your blog as I didn't see much of the updates last year.
BASANT: This is one thing I regret today. But from now onwards, I will make sure that I am regular with it. Its a promise to myself.

ANUSHKA: Today how do you see the year 2013 and 2014?
BASANT: For us 2013 will serves as a milestone in creating a solid base for all our business endeavor.
ANUJ: And we are working towards becoming as a major stakeholder in the business of beauty pageant. That's the target for 2014.
 

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2014

Mr. India United Nations is now MR. COSMIC INDIA

 

Mr. India United Nations pageant organized by our (me and Anuj Singh) company MELANGE Events is now being renamed as MR. COSMIC INDIA.
When we took the franchise of MR. WORLD UNITED NATIONS in the year 2012 it was obvious then the national pageant was called the Mr. India United Nations.
The first edition of the contest i.e, Mr. India United Nations 2012 contest was a major success and we got tremendous response from all the stakeholders including the participants, the corporate(sponsors), media and the international pageant organizers.
This year we thought of adding some more franchise in our portfolio so that we can groom and send more than one delegates to represent India at the various international pageants.
This is when we decide to change the name to MR. COSMIC INDIA making it more generic. Though we changed the name, the DNA of the contest remains the same i.e, to organize an event that gives the young and dynamic males a platform to voice their choice and represent India at the international contest and win it too.
So every one welcome to MR. COSMIC INDIA.

Eco Fashion Week India 2014

There is no limit to human ingenuity and creative thought. This is especially evident in the always-innovative, always-evolving fashion industry.

Bringing in $300 billion a year in revenue, one might wonder what it takes to make it so successful. As it turns out, quite a lot: the resources of healthy ecosystems—fresh water, clean air, robust biodiversity, productive land—and the stability of just societies. So as the third most environmentally damaging industry in the world, its time for the fashion industry people to initiate, implement and promote the kind of sustainability necessary for their long-term viability.

Therefore MELANGE Events presents:

ECO FASHION WEEK INDIA 2014

Eco Fashion Week India will serve as a platform to inform and inspire the fashion-conscious, and sustainable-minded, alike, in a way that harmonizes beauty and the environment. After all, innovation in fashion - the future of chic – is inextricably linked to innovation in, well, sustainability.

We invite you to be a part of ECO FASHION WEEK INDIA to provoke and perpetuate our collective desire for a thriving world. We promise you won’t be alone: with more than 500 global VIP guests, buyers, designers, stylists, photographers, and media, attending EFWI.

And while you may only see us for just 3 short days, twice a year, EFWI shall  be continually and feverishly, provoking, challenging, and propelling all aspects of the fashion industry, towards ensuring solutions that balance ecology, society, and culture.

So, we look forward to collaborate with you to  encourage people to examine, explore, and question the world around them, in an accessible, engaging way. 

Lets start the collaboration with your comments and suggestions.

New Kids on the Block - 1

Recently I went to an audition as a judge for one of the modelling contest in Lucknow, where more than 300 aspiring models had come to try their luck.
But amongst them only few of them had what it takes to be a model.
My new series 'New Kids on the Block' is to bring in front of you the face that promises to launch thousands of products and the body that can be called a great designer horse.
They might be new to the industry but soon they would be a household names.

So here I am, introducing the two aspiring models, Khushboo Kankan and Asad Masood.

Khushboo Kankan

Khushboo Kankan

Khushboo Kankan was spotted by ace choreographer, Achala Sachdev last year while shopping at a mall. With 5feet 10 inches height she went on to win the title of Max Fashion Icon 2012. Then she did a couple of shows including the launch of the designer store KIMAYA. This student of B.Com, third year from Audh Girls Degree College, Lucknow, wants to represent India in the international beauty pageant.
With the kind of looks she has, I am sure her dreams will turn into reality soon.

Asad Masood

Asad Masood

With an unconventional looks and 6feet height Asad Masood is definitely a promising guy one can look forward to in the near future. Working  as an assistant manager for a corporate house, his priorities are set. As he says he wants the quality and not the quantity and he is ready to wait for the right moment. After looking at his pictures, I can say the right moment has arrived for him now.
