Jaipur’s All New Food Truck Dadi’s Asanjo

November 15, 2017November 15, 2017 AdminLeave a comment

Come winters, and our appetite for street food shoots up faster than the oil prices. Succumbing to a constant craving for a hot street side treat, Jaipur Beat spotted a shiny attractive blue truck right opposite the A.C. Market and fresh aroma of Pav Bhaji which pulled us towards Dadi’s Asanjo. You must be wondering what Asanjo means in he first place ? Asanjo means Apna in Sindhi.

As unique as the name, the dishes that they serve are exquisite too. You must have had Pav Bhaji several times in your life, but you will find yourself falling for the firangi pav bhaji where Indian taste meets international flavor. If you are a cheese fan, their Cheese Burst Pav Bhaji will take you to the little house of cheese, except with a lovely smell 😉

The specialty, OTC Vada Pav, was filled with onions and lots of tomato and capsicum, which was delicious to gorge on along with chutney and green chillies.

Dadi’s Asanjo offers about 11 types of Pav Bhaji and 7 types of Vada Pav to satiate your evening hunger pangs especially for the ones who are cuckoo about spicy food ! It opens at 7 p.m. in the evening when a large crowd pours of students and children pour in along with family and friends.

“Jaipur has been overexposed to café culture now, so we thought why not try our hand on a food truck that too in the major hub of the city Raja Park.”, said Divesh, the owner of the food truck who along with his 6 companions decided to start this food truck.

Must dishes to try – Mushroom tikka masala pav bhaji, OTC Vada Pav, Cheese Burst Pav Bhaji

Highlight – Serves 4 pieces of Pav which are enough for 2 people and a good quantity of bhaji.

Jaipur Beat gives this place – 4/5 Beats

“Thodi Thodi bhook lagi hai? Dadi’s Asnajo haina” an evening to spend with your loved ones without creating a hole in your pocket, head towards Raja Park and gorge on where Bombay meets Jaipur ! Wait for more till they add new surprising elements to their menu, till then happy eating.

Meet Jaipur Girl Ankita- Runner Up at Miss India Wheelchair 2017

November 9, 2017November 9, 2017 AdminLeave a comment

“Don’t’ die before your death”- Ankita Sharma

Holding this strong belief is the story of a young girl who did not lose her willpower and motivation and is living her dreams now, Ankita Sharma. A jaipurite who has recently won as a runner up in Miss India Wheelchair 2017, is that sunlight which never fails to give a smile on anybody’s face. Injured herself in 9^th Standard while attending her cousin’s reception, a tree branch fell on her legs and she paralyzed her lower body. And that was the beginning of her time on a wheelchair.

In conversation with Jaipur Beat, Ankita talks about the struggles for differently-abled women and how she was different and fought against all odds.

But there was no looking back. She lost one year of education, but did not lose hope and finished her school and graduation, and pursuing MBA at present, along with working for Belgium Diamonds New York office from home, she never lost her spirits. Her family has a major role to play in this, never to give up attitude, letting her freely do whatever she wishes to, is what sets her apart from others.

“A strong support system at home especially my mother has helped me pursue all my dreams in life.”

The idea of participating in Miss India Wheelchair came while sitting with friends and having a casual discussion of why not try out something that will break down the barriers for disabled women.That was her eureka moment, when she stumbled upon Miss India Wheelchair, and decided to participate in it. After few queries she came across the fact that the makeup, attire and every other expense she had to bear. We hear so much about glamorization and sponsors when it comes to Miss India, Miss World and the events alike, but when it comes to support for victimized people, nobody is ready to sponsor such events. But with God’s grace she successfully managed everything with the support of her two sisters, who helped her in deciding the outfit and makeup. She reached the final round of this pageant with her smart answers and ultimately won the title of runner up of Miss India Wheelchair.

“I need to change the social perception about people with disabilities. Every woman in a wheel chair has the right to feel beautiful and to do what she likes” -says Ankita Sharma

Now there’s absolutely no looking back from here, she has her plans clear. Planning to participate in Miss World Wheelchair, already applied for it, and living her life in full enthusiasm, Ankita Sharma, a happy-go-lucky girl, we wish you All The Best for your future and hope you make our country proud by winning the Miss World Wheelchair pageant.
