Dadi’s Kitchen Tales | Story of a Superdadi Chef | Jaipur Beat

After a few months into the lockdown, people reported craving food more than ever. As restaurants & cafes were shut down, the foodie in us longed for hygienic and delicious meals. Especially when you are in a city like Jaipur which provides culinary delights for every palate, you tend to crave a little more 😉 

This was the time when home cooks seized the opportunity and it led to a rising number of home chefs across the country. 

Today, we at Jaipur Beat are going to share one such inspiring tale, a story of an 87-year-old grandmother, Mrs. Gurdeep Soni. She is of the age when most people seek to enjoy their lives or pursue some leisurely hobbies, but she decided to chase her passion for cooking.  After all, it’s better than never, right?

Dadi’s Entrepreneurial Journey- How It Started? 

A few months ago, when the Corona was at its peak, and Dadi saw the world crumbling down as her dear ones got infected with Covid & death news of her loved ones started pouring in, she felt disheartened more than ever. She was demotivated and clueless about the purpose of life. 

One fine day, a group of friends visited them for lunch, where Dadi’s Chole Bhature won everyone’s heart. Such that, even after they requested Dadi to send them chole bhature. That is when Dadi Gurdeep Soni, decided to turn her passion for cooking into a food venture. She proposed the idea to the family and kick-started her journey of being a Home Chef.          

Meanwhile, her son Timmi Soni who was part of a Whatsapp Group consisting of food lovers, where the members talked about food, shared food pictures, and of course enjoy each other’s dishes. He started sharing it on that Whatsapp group. In no time, orders started pouring in and Dadi got a distraction from the entire Covid situation. She got excited & interested as people started loving the taste, and then they decided to expand it from one dish & group. Slowly with the assistance of her family, they all together started to curate a menu and gave a name to this venture as “Dadi’s Kitchen Tales”.  

Her son says “It has given a new lease to her life, as she is excited throughout the day for the orders. I keep updating her on the number of views on her reel, which brings a smile to her face.”

Dadi inspires all of us to live with awesomeness. Isn’t it?

Dadi’s Kitchen Tales is based in Tilak Nagar, now serves Punjabi and North Indian food, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian.

Salute to Covid Heroes of Jaipur | JAIPUR COVID SUPPORT GROUP | Jaipur Beat

It was the peak of India’s second wave of Covid-19 when the daily count of cases increased significantly. Oxygen demand was increasing more than ever. Remdesivir injection was being sold five times more than the price. The sudden spike in cases brought the nation’s healthcare system to its knees. There were no hospital beds, no oxygen, no medicines. There was no availability of ICU beds in hospitals across the city and nation. Apart from the medical bolt, it was the time for the worst financial shocks where people lost jobs & income and some lost the earning members of their family. The situation was terribly grim as people were struggling with basic necessities like food, medicines, blood, beds, and most importantly the support from the people.

The pandemic has been a nightmare for us all, but in these times of despair, there was a ray of hope in the city, as we Jaipurites stood by each other more than ever. Jaipur Beat wants to recognize a team of COVID SUPPORT that went beyond the call of duty for our city: Jaipur Covid Support. 

Initially started by a few like-minded people as a WhatsApp group, Jaipur Covid Support established a communication system among those who were in need and those who can help. Jaipur Covid Support grew gradually with more experienced members who offered selfless services. The Jaipur Covid Support is a team of philanthropists, NGO members, volunteers & experts from diverse fields. From providing medical assistance to protecting livelihoods, giving authentic information to delivering resources, the group stepped up to help the people in the city literally door to door

“Government circulars and region-specific orders are circulated there. The supply of drugs and medicine is being regulated through this group. The members answered all queries about drugs and asked the nearest pharmacist to ensure door delivery of tablets or injections,” said the member of a group.

How This Group Worked

  • Connected people for help through networking and sharing experiences
  • Helped with precise information about oxygen, hospital beds, Remdesivir and other medicines, plasma & blood
  • Shared real time data on availability of beds and oxygen in hospitals
  • Offered online health advice from doctors for minor and mild COVID-19 symptoms for free
  • Collected unused medicine from people who have recovered
  • Arranged oxygen cylinders for people who could not arrange/afford
  • Provided food for free to those in need

The team of Jaipur Covid Support is no less than Covid warriors. We want to express our deep gratitude to each and every member of this group, as we highlight some of them. 

The team included Dr. Dheeraj Gupta, a multi-talented Dentist, who gave the idea of online medical help. This helped people who needed first-hand advice at odd hours and those who were not able to move out. Dr. DD Gupta, a Senior Physician at Apollo Spectra Hospital also helped with online consultancy. Another member helped in guiding with Plasma & donation and also helped in formulating precise SOPs for Oxygen, Plasma, and other medicines. There are some notable names that assisted in all the aspects of this mission: Abhishek Tripathi, a Business Owner, Manish Chandwani, a Business Owner, Neelam Verma, a Homemaker, Seema Malhotra, an HR Consultant, Sunil Jain, an Architect. Apart from this, there were numerous faces who worked tirelessly and selflessly. 

Such people restore our faith in humanity. If you know about similar Covid warriors in the city, share information with us at Jaipur Beat. Let’s spread positivity with more inspiring stories. 

Salute to the Covid Heroes

Thank You Jaipur Covid Support group to help tackle COVID-19!

In this hour of emergency during the pandemic, when government helplines didn’t work & all the resourceful contacts failed, social media came to the rescue as a last resort in helping to save lives. We have experienced all of this through Jaipur Beat in the last few weeks.
Since the break of the pandemic, many people were asking for help through Social Media as Covid cases continued to rise. We at Jaipur Beat were getting hundreds of messages from our followers for their families and friends in distress to help them by spreading the word for the urgent need for medicines, plasma, oxygen beds, hospital statuses, food delivery for Covid families and much more. Initially, we were clueless but we have experienced the plights of the families and it was heartbreaking to see the helplessness of the fellow citizens. We took the call and decided to use the platform for the community’s help along with the team. We were not feeling comfortable sharing regular posts glorifying Jaipur, whether it was food images or paid promotions, or any such thing on Jaipur Beat. How can we show happiness when we see so much suffering around us?

We started using the platform for SOS messages and in this, we collaborated with many resource providers/persons and started sharing valuable and urgent information. Some brands also joined us in sharing the collected information to reach more and more people. The continuous exchange of information was going on between various platforms including Whatsapp, Twitter, and Instagram. That is when we joined the Jaipur Covid Support Group on Whatsapp and monitored its functioning and without any doubt, this group needs a special mention for dealing with the crises without any personal gain. 

There were many nights when the requirements kept pouring in the late-night hours too and sometimes even on calls. The urgent help given saved few lives and that small ‘thanks’ notes just kept us going. Today it fills us with immense satisfaction that as a responsible Jaipur page for a decade, Jaipur Beat, in these challenging times, actively worked to help the community fight Covid-19.

A long weekend awaits to plan a trip to Jaipur | Jaipur Beat

The universe has been kind to all of us and given us two long weekends back-to-back. Yes, we are talking about the Holi long weekend (Sat, Sun, Mon-27th, 28th & 29th March) and the Good Friday long (2nd, 3rd, & 4th April) weekend. And in case your bosses are generous and cool enough to grant you 31st & 1st April days of extra leaves then you just have the whole week off!

It doesn’t get better than this right?
Well, it does if you plan a getaway for these long weekends to none other than Jaipur aka Pink City. And just to substantiate our above hypothesis, allow us to give you some mind-blowing reasons for you to plan your getaway to our favorite city, Jaipur.

The magnificent and spectacular forts and palaces

The city is filled with forts and places that draw the attention of tourists from all over the world. The forts are well known over the globe for their royal architecture, culture, age-old charm, and grandeur. Forts that we would recommend you to visit and experience the royalty of Rajasthan are:

 • Amber Palace – The famous Amer Fort is one of the most visited forts in Rajasthan and is also registered as a UNESCO World Heritage site. Overlooking the Maota lake, Amber Fort is known for its aesthetical style elements. Also, for all the history buffs out there – do you know that Amer was the capital of the state before Jaipur?

Nahargarh Fort – What comes to your mind when it comes to enjoying an eagle’s eye view of Jaipur’s jaw-dropping skyline?
Definitely, it is Nahargarh! One of the favourite spots for Jaipurites.
Situated in the Aravalli mountains, Nahargarh which means “adobe of tigers” is a majestic and spectacular fort. You can enjoy cycling and trekking at this fort and can also visit the Nahargarh biological park. Built in 1734 during the reign of Sawai Jai Singh (1698-1740), the extensive water systems of Nahargarh are one of the most significant features of the fort. So get your walking shoe on and one can take a walk through Water Heritage to uncover history to architecture, and see the history come alive.

Hawa Mahal – This five-storey building continues to be the major attraction of all those travelling to the Pink City. The unique attraction is its 953 windows which were actually constructed to give a cool breeze to the royal ladies that watched processions from the inside of the Wind Palace.

If this architectural wonder intrigues you more, check this out: https://jaipurbeat.com/2018/12/11/things-no-one-tells-you-hawa-mahal-jaipur/

Jal Mahal – Located in the middle of Man Sagar Lake, this 5 storied building continues to stand still in Man Sagar Lake with 4 floors immersed in water.
Back then it was used for royal duck shooting parties. With tranquil waters by the side and birds sitting on top of the chattris makes for a picturesque view. One can enjoy camel or horse safari and also shop for the local handicrafts from the temporary bazaars set near this place.

City Palace – The City Palace, Jaipur is one of the most admired and finest attractions among the places to visit in the Pink City. With an organized layout of large courtyards, perfectly manicured gardens, and magnificent mahals, the palace is still home to the royal family of Jaipur. Apart from its magical architecture, the palace is also known for its beautiful gates.
While planning a trip to Jaipur, make sure you reserve a day to visit the corridors of the City Palace and live a day like the royals!

Jawahar Circle – The newest edition in the list is the ninth gate of Jaipur, known as ‘Patrika Gate’. It not only keeps heritage value but also the aesthetic value due to its modern architecture mingled with traditional style. The poly-chromatic patterns and vibrant surroundings make this gate one of a kind. The vibrant colours and mesmerizing architecture are always admired and make this an Instagram-worthy place as no one can leave without capturing its beauty.

Meet Jaipur’s Real-Life Superheroes and Participate in Joy of Giving Week

As Mahatma Gandhi said, “To find yourself, lose yourself in the service of others.” To acknowledge Bapu’s teachings and walk the path that our Nation’s father has shown to us, we commemorate the week of his birth i.e. 2 nd -8 th October, every year as the Joy of Giving Week.
The Joy of Giving campaign encourages people to give -money, resources, skills or time and experience this phenomenal feeling of fulfilment. Although, we feel that the Joy of giving shouldn’t be confined to just one week. However, this particular week encourages and inspires us to reach out to those in need by looking beyond our own self-centred lifestyle and restore humanity. If we look around, there are some compassionate people who are all round the year doing their best to lend their support, to help and uplift the people who genuinely seek society’s attention, with all the possible resources they have.

courageous minds who have gone beyond their limits and are creating hope for those in need. In fact, here’s a cue on how you too can experience the Joy of Giving along with these organizations.
