Visit to the Bisleri Plant in Mumbai and Why Bisleri Is My Favourite
I started my career as a Radio Jockey back in 2006, and have always been a working woman my life, I also started working 8 months post my first baby was born back in 2014. But...something in me always made me wonder as to how would it be to run my own venture and this gave birth to my own brand, SuperMOM. This meant that I had to work doubly hard, in fact, 10 times harder as I was a working woman, a mommy, an employee, homemaker and now an entrepreneur. I had to travel constantly and was always on a run; hence I just got to spend a rare 2 hours in the evening with my daughter.
I was concerned about the food she ate, TV/Internet she watched if she hurt herself while playing and most importantly if she was consuming enough water and most importantly clean water. So...What did I do so that I would be rest assured about my kid's safety?
Read on as to how can you be on safe and independent and make sure your kid is well taken care of...
Trust an age-old Brand
I started SuperMOM because I always loved talking about all things Maternity and Baby and would never lose interest in this. Also, People are not going to stop having kids so yes….Having done this for 3 years, I was confident that I could take it to the next level hence I ventured into this full time. This meant that I would be busy and always travelling. Sometimes I would lose track of time with the shoots, podcasts, events and edits and all this time what did I do to make sure that my daughter remained healthy? I ensured that she only had Bisleri at Home and always while travelling. I also read up some info.
BISLERI OWNS 125 PLANTS, 3000 DISTRIBUTORS & 5000 DISTRIBUTION TRUCKS ACROSS INDIA
Bisleri is very well known and no one argues that it is the purest form of water we can give anyone. Bisleri is a household name and a leader in its category making it is the most trusted brand of mineral water in India. Bisleri has a strong presence, with 125 operational plants and a strong distribution network of 3000 Distributors & 5000 Distribution trucks across India & neighboring countries. Bisleri stands true to its promise of providing safe, pure & healthy mineral water to consumers for the last 50 years.
A BISLERI FOR EVERYONE BECAUSE ITS AFFORDABLE FOR EVERYONE
AND CAN BE A TRUSTED BEVERAGE PARTNER FOR EVERY OCCASION
Bisleri comes in 20-litre bottles which we use at home and carry small ones outside. Many asked me if this was hampering her immunity and the mineral content in the water was good for a baby? We answered their questions by logging in the website and obtaining the correct
information.
So, what does the water get before it reaches you? Tender loving care
and more. Trusted by millions since 1969, every Bisleri bottle goes
through a rigorous 10 STEP PURIFICATION
Study and don't rely on Hearsay…
SuperMOM grew at this stage and we even added a new family member to our family. My second one Shiny was born. Slowly brands started noticing us and this is how we were also invited to a Factory visit at Bisleri. This was the perfect time to let our followers know that what we were doing for so many years was actually right. This is the time which we felt was perfect to let people know Bisleri was indeed a perfect way to be a SuperMOM
VISITING THE FACTORY
We visited the Bisleri Factory located at the heart of Mumbai. It was so easy to reach here and me and my daughter were really excited to know as to how water was made. The Bisleri authorities greeted us and we began our visit. We loved how clean the factory was, the safety standard here was really strict so that no dirt could creep in. We were even made to tie our hair, remove our earrings and our shoes were covered with plastic etc...I was really impressed. We entered the factory and we came to know about the tests the water goes through.
HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW
11 TESTS are carried out every 3 MONTHS to confirm the sensorial, chemical and
the microbiological properties of Raw water.
7 TESTS are related to the TASTE & COLOUR OF WATER.
Remaining 4 TESTS are for detecting the NUMBER AND TYPE OF MICRO-ORGANISMS in Raw water. Before approval of any manufacturing unit, all these tests are conducted on SOURCE WATER.
The First step is Ozonization and this is done to remove any kind of microbes that is bad organisms in the water.
The second step is Sand Filtration and 4th Carbon Filtration. This is something I learnt at the plant visit which was RO or Reverse Osmosis...This basically means that total absence of bacteria in the water we consume is not optimal hence good bacteria is added to the water. The last but not the least is Micron Filtration which means 2 TESTS are done on a WEEKLY BASIS to MONITOR MICRO-ORGANISMS in product water.
Packaging
Many of us including me were really concerned as to how plastic is safe but that was also addressed by the authorities and what we came to know is that the TESTS are done on the container every 3 MONTHS and they also ensure that the plastic used is safe and packaging and labeling is taken care of. Also, 2 TESTS are done on WEEKLY BASIS TO MONITOR AND CONTROL MICRO-ORGANISMS in empty containers. This made us absolutely sure that we were indeed trusting an age old brand.
You need to finish whatever you start
Remember, successfully running a business requires a systematic and streamlined approach.
Life is tougher for a new-age mom, but she is strong enough to take it head on too. As one yourself, you may have to juggle between catering to your baby’s needs and managing the A-to-Z of your business. But, what you cannot afford is to leave any loose ends. Meaning, don’t leave anything that you started halfway through. So, be ready to manage it all at the same time and trust pure water for your kid. I trust only Bisleri.

Conclusion
Continue feeding your child ghee, bread, veggies, and lean meats to make him strong. Do not give into your child’s tantrums of wanting sodas or sweet drinks during the day; water is the best option to quench thirst. Ensure that finger foods aren’t so small that the child chokes on them, and try to avoid giving him chewing gum altogether as it is a dangerous choking hazard. Always remember: Force-feeding your child is never a good idea as it can lead to weight gain and constipation.To get the meal plan for week 3 for your 23-month-old, click here! Read more

A Healthy Paratha Recipe for Toddlers
Is your child not gaining weight? Is he a fussy eater? If yes, then I am sharing a healthy paratha recipe which you can try at home. Your child will love eating this paratha. If you make paratha, your toddler will gain weight and will enjoy the yummy taste of it as well. Kids always love to try new dishes so make paratha for your little one. He will no longer be a fussy toddler.
Cheese Paratha
Try this recipe of cheese paratha. It tastes delicious.
Ingredients:
Wheat flour - 1 cup
Grated cheese - 1 cup
Water as required
Salt to taste
How to Make:
Method 1
Mix the wheat flour, some grated cheese, and salt in a bowl.
Add water as required to make a soft dough.
Let the dough sit for about 10 minutes.
Take a small ball from the dough and roll it on a rolling board. It should be similar to a chapati.
Heat a tawa then place the rolled out paratha on it.
Cook it well from one side then flip it. Add some grated cheese on top and let it cook. You can even cover with a transparent lid for a few seconds.
Then serve warm.
Method 2
Mix the wheat flour and water to get a soft dough and let it sit for some time.
Take a small ball from the dough and roll it to get a small circle. Place some grated cheese in the centre of the rolled out dough then cover it from the edges and roll it again.
Heat a tawa and place the rolled out paratha on it. Cook well from both the sides. You can add a teaspoon of ghee or butter while cooking the paratha if you like.
Serve warm.
You can also add mashed potatoes or any vegetables along with cheese while you stuff it and make paratha.
You can just serve the hot paratha just like that or you can also serve it with tomato ketchup, curd, or pudina chutney. Below is the recipe for pudina chutney.

Green Peas Samosa
This weekend, dig into the luscious bite-sized green peas samosas that literally would melt in your mouth. The spicy inner filling of peas gives it a nice texture and adds to the taste of the crunchy outer crust. If you are on the healthy-eating bandwagon, try baking the samosas at 180 degree Celsius for about 30-35 minutes. You’ll enjoy the same green peas goodness, sans the oil overload.
Serves
Preparation Time
Cooking Time
8 People
20-25 Minutes
10-15 Minutes
Ingredients
For the Crust
1 cup maida
1 tbsp semolina, fine
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp oil
Approximately 1/3 cup lukewarm water
For the Filling
2 cups green peas
2 tbsp oil
3 tsp coriander powder
1 tsp red chili powder
1 tsp mango powder (amchoor)
1/4 tsp garam masala
3/4 tsp salt (adjust to your taste)
Method
For the Dough
Step 1
In a bowl, mix maida, semolina, salt, oil and water. Knead it to make a soft dough. (Add water as needed).
Step 2
The dough should be pliable and very smooth.
Step 3
Cover the dough with a lid and let it rest for around ten minutes.
To Make the Filling
Step 1
Heat oil and sauté the green peas on low flame for 15-20 min till the peas are soft and tender.
Step 2
Mix coriander powder, red chili powder, mango powder, garam masala and salt in the peas.
Step 3
Give it a good mix and remove it from the heat. Let the filling cool to room temperature.
Making Samosas
Step 1
Knead the dough for a minute.
Step 2
Make 12 equal parts of the dough and roll each of them into small balls.
Step 3
Roll each ball to about 4-1/2-inch diameter and cut each circle in half.
Step 4
Wet the sides of a semicircle lightly and fold it into a cone shape. Pinch the edges of the cone such that gets completely sealed.
Step 5
Fill the cone with about 1 teaspoon of filling. Press this filling down.
Step 6
Pinch and close the top of the cone such that it forms a triangular shape. Seal it completely.
Step 7
Continue filling the rest of the samosas.
Step 8
Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat. To verify if oil has become hot enough, drop a small piece of dough in oil. If the dough sizzles and comes to the surface slowly, it is an indication that the oil temperature is just right for frying.
Step 9
Place the samosas in the frying pan a few at a time, such that it doesn't become crowded.
Step 10
After 1-2 minutes, turn them slowly. Fry all the samosas until the crust turns golden-brown in colour on all sides. This should take not more than 7- 8 minutes. If you fry the samosas on high heat, the crust will become soft and the inner portion will not cook properly.
Step 11
Once done, remove the samosas and place them over paper towel to drain the excess oil.
Step 12
Serve them hot with tamarind chutney or mint chutney

A. Yes you are right sometimes a woman’s are really light but if in 24 hours you haven’t even felt one time that Baby is moving or any of the so it’s better to get an ultrasound done one time you still have time to visit your doctor if you feel any movement it is all good because if you do not feel the movement within maths 24 hours it’s best to get a check with your doctor
