Shikarbadi Hotel, Udaipur and that's a name, one of our Customers feel pride to remember lifetime as during his recent Cocktail party and Reception with a group of friends, relatives and family, there has been a sense of great feeling to choose the right place. He almost received a couple of calls with "Thanks" after they came back to Ahmedabad and ultimately, Swagat Holidays got all the bouquets.
As the occasion had been so exceptional, Shikarbadi Hotel was our Recommendation in Udaipur - a picturesque heaven offering complete tranquility despite its close proximity to the city centre. It is surrounded by the Aravalli Hills, 4 kms from the City Palace Complex. The main building was the former hunting lodge of the Mewar royal family and is set in grounds adjoining a 250 acres wildlife sanctuary. All its rooms are Air conditioned with 24 hours hot and cold running water, the Cheetah Restaurant specialises in Mewari Cuisine and offers a selection of continental dishes. The Baithak Restaurant serves Chinese and Thai Cuisine.

You know by now that the Car of the Year is Honda Civic (CNBC TV18 Auto Car Auto Awards 2007). Well, I did miss blogging here on this but sure, it has been great selling the car as of lately, there has been quite a number of Honda Civic deliveries made from Ennovative Finanz. Drive the car and the picture is complete - A car with best value, best driver car and best designed too, according to Ennovative. Though, here's to say that the Hyundai Verna has been chosen as the Value for Money car of the year at the Awards. In 2006, twelve all new cars were launched in the market with big budget PR and advertising campaigns, each boasting about the superiority of their brand.
Well, you can always look forward for more Cars to feature here but for now, my focus lies on Nissan Teana, an expected Rs.20 Lac Car with 173bhp, rolling into Indian market sometime during mid 2007. A focus determines everything - above all, an Attitude to wear. The Car has been designed for reliability, safety, performance, economy ride, handling and comfort. As for me, more luxurious car. It only remains to be seen how well it goes with 'Value for Money' coz an imported car do not come cheap and sure, it isn't going to be a cup of tea for any Tom, Dick or Harry! Let's wait n watch!

As the International Kite Festival flags off in Gujarat with nearly 75 delegates from 24 countries to take part in the International event, here's the Vibrant Gujarat eyeing Rs.2.5 Lac crore Investments as the Global Investors' Summit 2007 opens up with many SEZ projects. This gives a rise of thought that Gujarat is on a rapid Industrial Development which will take place in coming three years. There would be opportunities for new work culture and optimizing the use of human resource, besides science and technology. As success seems to be foreseen, here's what I feel a tremendous opportunities for Insurance sector as well as Tourism, not to forget that 2007 is the Tourism year.

As Maruti is yet to launch five new models over coming years, the news around is that Swift Diesel model is expected soon. So, all those new car buyers can wait for this pick if you are in the waiting list of three weeks for the new Maruti Zen Estilo.
Well, talking of Maruti Zen Estilo, it launched on 5th December. Maruti's MD says, "Young people in India today desire products with contemporary styling and international appeal. The new Zen will appeal to this new India, just as the original Zen appealed to the India of the mid 1990s." As for me, I am content with the Swift yet, can say, Zen Estilo is roomier than the original Zen, comes with a bigger engine (1061 cc). It is taller, offers more boot space and superior air conditioning. It delivers 64 bhp and its low end torque of 84 nm (at 3500 rpm) makes it ideal for Indian city conditions.
What is more attractive, are the colours : Purple Fusion, Champagne Beige, Virgin Blue and Olive Green for Zen - all to go with the car's stylish image.
Well, now that the Auto firms join race for Rs. 1 Lac Car, I am not sure whether this Rs.3.19 Lac new Maruti Zen Estilo is a great buy and of coz, Tata's dreams are ever fulfilling, the Sonalika Group, Delhi and Global Automobiles, Kolkata, have already announced their decision to take on the Tatas. The Tata's have projected that they will have the capacity to make 1 million small cars by 2012. Why, I heard the Hyundai Motors is also looking at a car in the sub compact segment. All due to the huge volume market and enough players can roll out but with concern due to the bumpy curvy roads, almost crowded by humans, (also the stray animals!).
For now, here's 'In the News' Maruti Zen Estilo - get the scoop.

Yeah, no excuses for not blogging in for a while on home website. By the way, as Blogging goes Corporate, I wonder whether Corporate Blogging do generate revenue or rathar, sell its products. There need to be strong traffic to your blog, numerous links to it from other blogs and frequent reader feedback are a few signs your blog is generating buzz that can attract buyers. There are media companies and corporates who fill up the gaps with ghost bloggers or rathar call in for hired bloggers who charge over a $4 per post. But awareness do totally lack in many Corporates in India who stand with stand-alone websites, not frequently updated nor even seen visited or got lost in the search back pages. If a company blog generates $10 a day, even this is fine but unfortunately, we all know our time restraints and hence, hired bloggers fill in the gaps and are a boon to many Corporates.
I started writing Blogs in my journalism area and end up writing my own company blog here - all with slow pace but steady and some day, hope to make it big with the revenue generation (
Generate revenue from your website. Google AdSense.) or possibly, build in the steady clients who flow in their mails & build mutual business relations for our products - the chemicals, Insurance (Travel Insurance online), calling for Car Rates and best deals and the flowing enquiries for bookings of Flights or hotels.
So long for now, Happy Thanksgiving - Thanks for visiting my blog and passing this way....We assure you our best services at all times, so join Biz ways - Call for enquiries, any time.
- Swagat, ilaxi Friday October 6, 2006Here comes the book 'Guardian of Angels:A practical Guide to Joyful Parenting by ilaxi patel, dedicated to all parents & teachers everywhere in the world. My special thanks goes to all my Kidsfreesouls fans and my readers online whose comments, suggestions, concerns helped me a lot to write the book and publish in print. Here's what I quoted last week "If you do everything with the feeling of happiness, there is no task too difficult to perform. A human mind is like a parachute, always keep open and allow the great ideas to enter - after all, it's work a worship and creativity, a step towards nourishing your talents. So enjoy life, enjoy all that you do." And here I am - enjoying all that I do:-)
In 1991, I started a Children's Library, the same year when Swagat Group Business started its operations with Chemicals & Dyes Intermediates. Being an active member in the Group, I managed (And still continue doing so) Administration and Web Consulting. While doing so, I drifted to areas in Insurance, Hotel Bookings & Journalism. I wrote Kids page for six years in print media and my contributions appeared directly or indirectly, in several newspapers. Also, I wrote a few management articles in print media. On web, I manage Net newspaper for kids online at http://www.kidsfreesouls.com/ since many years. The book is a result of my experiences with the press, kids, parents and teachers. And yeah, all my online readers who sent me their comments, suggestions, feedback and concerns.
A special thanks goes to all my readers who made this book come out in print. I hope this book will be useful to many individuals who nurture a genius in their child. Please feel free to add your comments on my Plog and write your reviews too at Amazon. Feel free to email me too. Thank You!

Giant StepsHere's an example of Albert Einstein - He was the greatest scientist in a century dominated by science - The Atom Bomb, the Big Bang, Quantum Physics and Electronics; all bear his imprint. Born to a jewish couple from southern Germany, Albert Einstein was the embodiment of pure intellect, the genius among geniuses who discovered, merely by thinking about it, that the universe was not as it seemed. His ideas, like Darwin, went beyond science, influencing modern culture from painting to poetry. In fact, his effect on the popular imagination continued throughout his life and even after it. Following World War II, Einstein campaigned for a ban on nuclear weaponry and pleaded for an end to bigotry and racism. His humane and democratic instincts remain an ideal political model for the 21st century embodying, as they do, our highest hopes.
A sheer example of an 'Imagination' - If Imagination doesn't soar high and ambitions aren't big, accomplishments do not reach milestones. Achievements comes in with efforts and these very achievements are nourished with accomplishments leading one to Giant Steps - imaginations to reach to newer heights. You climb to take those very small steps to make them big turning to Giant Steps. That's how, every new day, Secure Insurance strives for a Giant Step leap and already become a Gold member with the TATA AIG 'Giant steps Partner Recognition Program' making a new mark - Believe me, all with the association of our reputed clients and yeah, as a reader of this Blog, you too can be a part of my Giant Leap by clicking on Secure Insurance Solutions - all for your Insurance Solutions. Just call on us and Secure Insurance is 'At Your Service' - Let us together take the Giant Steps and benefit in terms of life success.
