Cellad Eatery - the Buffet Station


colourles ???
or... is it the most
essential colour.
maximizing,
the minimal,
screaming quality,
reality in less pure,
striped bare, proud, fresh,
fashionably optimistic,
elegant with a vengeance,
untainted, unflawed...
the most colourful colour
in any pallet is... white.


are the lines, one reads, when he enters into the Cellad Eatery.

Cellad Eatery, located at the 4th Floor, City Square building, near Passport Office, just behind LD College of Engineering Hostel, University Road, Ahmedabad, is famous eatery for pure salads with no additives or flavours.

The 1800sq feet area of the top floor has been used very well and the interiors are brilliant.
The interiors go with the lines with the theme of the eatery. The walls and the ceiling are totally white.









A menu with a difference is what you will notice here too.




The variety of salad buffets available here are low calorie, hygienic and healthy. Apart from salad, they even provide with delicious pastas, sandwiches and deserts.

Salads ranging from ones with Sprouted Beans to Brocoli and other green vegs to Apple, Pine Apple added to the buffet menu.(well, i dont remember the names of the salads, but they were really tasty. I was confused which one to go for. I tried almost all of them.)

I had gone to this place first time with 2 of my friends. It was one of the best salad buffet i ever had.
The price compared to the healthy buffet is nominal.

With all the colourless colours, "Cellad Eatery - the buffet station" is really awesome place to enjoy the healthy food with your loved ones.

I TOO HAD A LOVE STORY




I too had a love story.
Author: Ravinder Singh

" Not everyone in this world has the fate to cherish the fullest form of love.Some are born,just to experience the abbreviation of it."

According to me words are just not enough to describe how i felt reading the book. I just completed the book, and was on my way to the dreamworld but could not, i had to write about it.

After i got the book i was not the one who read it first.it was my friend. On reading 1st chapter he said the book had nothing interesting and left it. But then also i read it and found he was wrong.

The story is about Ravin and his love Khushi. The story starts with a reunion of the four friends. During this, they discuss many things including their marriage. And after this reunion Ravins's life changes.

He gets in contact with Khushi through a matrimonial site.

The author, in its debut novel, beautifully describes the things happening between them. The story goes on at a moderate pace.

And towards the end the story takes a different turn, which ultimately leads to a very touching end.

The book with all the colors of loveship, is a must read for everyone who are wounded by the Cupid's arrow.

and really its a heart breaking one...

IF GOD WAS A BANKER



IF GOD WAS A BANKER
Author: Ravi Subramanian

In this book the author shows how NYB(New York International Bank) came up in India, with loans and plastic money.
Thanks to the 2 management gurus, Swami and Sundeep who along with Aditya, their boss laid the foundation for NYB's credit card Facilities in India.
Swami is a sensible person. While Sundeep is highly ambitious and aggressive.
Sundeep is ready for any compromises while doing business. While Swami prefers slow and steady growth. He is a man of 'Morals and Ethics'.

The author, with his fast pace takes us through the lives of both these management gurus, lives filled with power, position, women, ambition, wealth, success, pressure, failures, etc.
Towards the end Sundeep has to pay the punishments for all his misdeeds. The punishment might have ruined his life and family if GOD had not lend his helping hand.

The author, with his simple language conveys a message to the readers.
"Wrong moves may bring success for short time, but would ultimately lead to down fall"

Though the book becomes a bit boring in the middle part but overall the book is good.
Rating 4/5

Anything for You Ma'am - An IITian's Love Story




Anything for You Ma'am - An IITian's Love Story
Author: Tushar Raheja

In this book the author tells his own story when he was studying in IIT and when he was struck by Cupid's Arrow!!!
Yes, he falls in love with his sister's best friend. Her name is Shreya and she is from Chennai. The author(Tejas in the book) is from Punjab.
Tejas justifies the statement "Love is craziness"
He can do anything for Shreya.
He travel miles, bunking his industrial tour just to meet Shreya and on the other side, Mr. Fate plays roulette with him!!!

Author's vivid descriptions of the scenes(especially the Candlelight Dinner), makes the reader captive through the book.
From funny co-incidences to witty plots, to love, author has compiled a masala story in a very colloquial language.
Mr Fate's game and the S.A.L.A.D. makes the book interesting.

Not a must read type but then also...
Rating 3.5/5

TATA CRUCIBLE - The Campus Quiz 2010

TATA CRUCIBLE
The Campus Quiz 2010

Venue: H.K College
Timings: 12/3/2010, 1:30pm onwards

Reached the venue at 1:30
Went as 4 teams but found 3 more teams there.
So total 7 teams, 14 participants (including 1 lady luck and 1 non LDite) from L.D. College of Engineering, Ahmedabad.
The quizzing included prelim rounds, 2 wild card rounds and Final round.
Prelim rounds inlcuded 20 questions.
Amazingly non of the 7 teams qualified for the final round. Not even for the wild card round.(Lols...)

The Final Round: The battle was mainly between team from Nirma Institute of Management and the Defending Champions of Campus Crucible 2009-Ahmebabad, team from MICA.
The 20-20 format by the quizmaster PickBraing was amazing. The powerplay and the passed question gave a boost to MICA. But moving slowly was the NIM. And the battle went on to the final round, to the final question. And at the end NIM winning the intellectual battle.
2 of the most amazing moments:
1. The MICA girl kissing the MICA boy on the stage!!! No, no she was not kissing but just whispering into his ears. From the audience angle it seemed that she was just kissing him.
2. PickBrain asking about a product whose manufacturing was being done wrongly till recession times in India. And the whole audience burst into laughter when a guy from IIM-A explained how Condom fit into the answer. Finally PickBrain ending it as "For more details about the contraceptives contact that guy." Of course answer was correct. We too had a LDite with the answer. He was jumping on his seat but was not given chance. Guess who?

Baki ka comments pe disscussion hoga...;-)

P.S. Forgot to mention the chief guest of the day. Mr Jacob from TATA Chemical Ltd. Mithapur(and not Mitha - pur as prononced by PickBrain)
