Talk to AK : Arvind Kejriwal : Talk to RWAs of Delhi !
Dear Mr Arvind Kejriwal,
Before the Delhi Assembly Elections, you had made huge promises with the RWAs of Delhi on : 1. RWA ACT 2. EMPOWERMENT OF RWAs 3. STREAMLINING OF RWA FUNCTIONING etc. But once you won with a massive mandate, you sidelined the RWAs by introducing, Mohalla Sabha. Do you want us to believe / assume that you made all the Fake Promises with the RWAs of Delhi ?
Talk to Arvind Kejriwal :
Talk to RWAs of Delhi
Please recall the meeting, you had with the RWAs of Delhi, before Elections, where you had announced the so called, "RWAs empowerment vision plan" as below :
"Quote Unquote "
1. At a conference attended by the representatives of over 700 RWAs across Delhi, former chief minister and AAP convenor Arvind Kejriwal announced the party’s stand of setting up a Citizens Local Area Development Fund after giving a legal sanctity to RWAs by passing a RWA Act in the state assembly.
2. Kejriwal announced that after being elected by the people in the long overdue assembly elections, the AAP government’s priority will be to empower the RWAs by creating a Citizens Local Area Development Fund in each assembly constituency of Delhi and this fund will be equal to that of the MLA Local Area Development Fund.
3. He proposed an amount of Rs four crore annually to allow the legally recognized the RWAs to carry out their local development, repair and welfare works without any external interference, once the RWA Act will come into existence.
4. The AAP proposes to streamline the functioning of RWAs in consultation with them.
5. Kejriwal said the AAP stand was that there should be no scope for any external interference, including that of the MP or MLA, in the works that recognised RWAs can do with public consultation in their respective areas.
"Quote Unquote "
Sir,
Your party won with a massive mandate, but nothing of this sort is happening any where. No RWAs Act, No Empowerment of RWAs, No Streamlining of RWAs Functioning, instead, we the RWAs are being sidelined, by introducing your own Mohalla Sabha. Sir, why you are giving a wrong message to the RWA community of Delhi ? Do you want us to believe / assume, that all the promises, that you made with the RWAs of Delhi, were FAKE ?

How to check Rankings of your Website or Blog on MOZ as well as Alexa ?
Yeah, we used to check
our rankings of Websites and Blogs on MOZ as well as Alexa, as these two were
treated as the most prominent ones. But all of a sudden things have changed.
There are no more free options available now. If you want to use, you must pay.
But the prices are much higher if we convert them into Indian currency.
MOZ has stopped
showing your Free rankings of Blogs or websites. You have to pay them now at
least $ 99 mo for 5 moz analytical campaigns. Earlier we used to check our
Moz rankings without paying anything. But now we have to pay at least INR 7000
/- per month for that. Please check the MOZ Link at :
If you earn in $,
these figures may not pinch you, but if we have to convert it into our Indian
currency, we have now to shed at least INR 7 - 8000 per month for our rankings,
which almost 99% of the Bloggers (at least) can't afford. So one thing is
very much clear that the Free Bees era from Moz or Alexa is over now.
Strange, we the
Indians are the Top most software experts and working in almost every country
in almost every company in the Top positions, then, why we cannot generate our
own system of Rankings that could be accepted worldwide ?

Tango with Eduardo and Kiran at NDTS !
Tango is a social dance from Argentina. It is a couple dance. It is very classy, sensual and sophisticated. Obama was recently seen dancing tango during his visit to Argentina. Besides football, Argentina is famous for tango.
Tango is very meditative and therapeutic. People compare it to yoga and zen. Art of living Guru, Sri Sri Ravishankar ji is also promoting tango under Sri Sri Tango. Our Indian Gurus are also realising its benefits.
It is not hard core fitness activity. It is slow and gentle. Any age group can do it but a noted fact is that tangueros (people who dance tango, are refereed as tangueros) are seldom unfit. There must be a reason. Like golf, it is an amazing socialising and networking activity. Tango is also supposed to be very addictive but in a very good way. Tango is healing and curing.
In Delhi, the only school to teach tango is New Delhi tango school- NDTS. They organise regular milongas (tango socials), tango festivals and tango workshops from world renowned artists. The founder of the school is Kiran Sawhney.

Yum Kitchen – One stop destination for All Your Late Night Food Needs!
In amidst
of uncertainty of funding and negativity on whole food tech startups world,
there are a handful of companies that are able to survive and sustain in the market
with unit level profit. These companies are more concerned about their
expenditure, profits and losses over GMV or revenue. In this article, I want to
introduce one such startup operating from HSR layout (peaceful residential
area) of Bangalore. They have taken baby steps and built a fixed prototype that
is able to sustain on its own, grow month-on-month by optimizing its
supply-chain, procurement of items and delivery system. Let’s break the
suspense! I am talking about YumKitchen,
a food startup that operates in the late night, specialised in Chinese, North
Indian and Continental cuisines.This is a startup co-founded by 3 young
passionate entrepreneurs who want make a difference in Food industry by
supplying yummy (yum is taken from yummy) food at a reasonable price in
quickest time.
Deepak, the co-founder, left his high paying job to
purse his entrepreneurial journey was accompanied by his friends Nirvan and
Avinash in making YumKitchen live. Let’s find more about his journey and also
the future plans of this venture.
What is YumKitchen
and how was it started?
YumKitchen is late night restaurant catering food to
Midnight Madness (techies, gamers, employees, students etc). We are operating
from Bangalore (main kitchen is in HSR layout, and extended kitchen is in
Electronic City). We started Yum kitchen 7 months back. We started YumKitchen
as online QSR (Quick Service Restaurant) that serves Indian style of food made
by the cuisine specialists catering to everyone.
I always have passion for entrepreneurship. I started and
closed a homemade food company 4 years back when I was working at Puma. Though
I was working as a full time employee with good salary, there was this
entrepreneurship bug on the back of my mind. After settling all financial
commitments, I began to think of starting something big and branded. For 1
year, I have done an in-depth analysis of Food industry and opportunities in
various food industry segments. From my research, it was clear that this is an
unorganised industry and people are willing to stick a brand who can supply
tasty food with best-in-class service in terms of delivery, quantity and
punctuality.
What is the
market size of your startup?
According to ibef.org, India Food Service is going to
grow from $48 billion to $78 billion in 5 years from 2015 to 2020. QSR segment
alone is projected to be of 16,785 crores INR. Presently, there are few
international players like Dominos, McDonalds, Yum Restaurant that own small
pie of this QSR business. Most of the business is un-organized and is dominated
by local vendors. We want to create a QSR brand that supplies traditional
Indian food with best-in-quality and taste!
How Yum
Kithcen Operates?
As a food business person, I wanted the brand to have
full control on food that is prepared, supply chain and logistics to give wow
factor for the customer. Hence, we prepare the food, do an optimal supply chain
decreasing the food wastage and by using a proprietary model of delivery, we
are able to satisfy the customer on all fronts. Supply-chain and
What is the
present status?
Presently, we have 1 main kitchen in HSR layout that
caters to most of the night-out localities like HSR, Kormangala, Indira Nagar,
Bellandur, BTM 1st and 2nd Stage, Bommanhalli,
Lakkasandra, Sarjapur (main road). We have a franchise at electronic city too!
We want to open 3 more kitchens to cover complete Bangalore (North, South,
East, West and Central).
Are you
planning to raise funding and how much?
We want to expand as soon as possible in this segment with-in
Bangalore and to other metros like Mumabi, Pune, Delhi-NCR, Chennai, Hyderabad
etc. and also want to start new entities like Digital Kiosks, Food trucks etc.
We want to raise a minimum of 1 crore rupees. We have talked to couple of HNIs
and Angel investors. One of them is keen on our model and it is in advance
discussions. We will update you on this.
What will
you do with funding?
First and foremost, we want to build brand for Yum Kitchen. Secondly, we want
to strengthen our logistics and create intuitive website and app. We will open
3 more kitchens to cover whole Bangalore. Also, we will do selected marketing
(primarily digital marketing).
