HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.

GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

CULTURE AND CUISINE
CULTURE
The culture of Aurangabad city is heavily influenced by Hyderabad. The old city still retains the cultural flavour and charms of Muslim culture of Hyderabad. Its influence is reflected in the language and cuisine of the locals. Although Marathi and Urdu are the principal languages of the city, they are spoken in Dakhni – Hyderabadi Urdu dialect.
Wali Dakhni also known as Wali Aurangabadi (1667–1731 or 1743) was a classical poet of Urdu from Aurangabad. He was the first established poet to have composed in Urdu language. Prominent poets like Shah Hatem, Shah Abro, Mir Taqi Mir, Zauq and Sauda were among his admirers. Other prominent poets from Aurangabad include Siraj Aurangabadi, Azad Bilgrami and Sikandar Ali Wajd.
Abul Ala Maududi one of the Muslim scholar ( 1903–1979 ) was born in Aurangabad, India. Syed Abul A'ala Maududi was born to Maulana Ahmad Hasan, a lawyer by profession. His father was "descended from the Chishti line of saints. He was also the founder of Jamaat-e-Islami, the Islamic revivalist party.
CUISINE
Aurangabadi food is much like Mughlai or Hyderabadi cuisine with its fragrant pulao and Biryani. Meat cooked in fresh spices and herbs is a speciality, as are the delectable sweets. The local cuisine is a blend of Mughlai and Hyderabadi cuisine, with an influence of the spices and herbs of the Marathwada region. Naan Qalia is a dish that is associated with Aurangabad in India. It is a concoction of mutton and a variety of spices. Naan is the bread made in tandoor (Hot furnace) while Qalia is a mixture of mutton and various spices.
The dish originated in the army camp of Muhammad bin Tughlaq when he shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad in the year 1327. Later the dish was used in the army camps of the Mughals who had their base in and around Daulatabad and Aurangabad in the deccan. Soldiers and camp followers settled in Aurangabad patronised the dish and the tradition continues to this day.
Tahri or Tahari is similar to pulao–Biryani and is very popular in Aurangabad and Marathwada. Tahri is prepared by adding the meat to the rice, as opposed to traditional Biryani where the rice is added to the meat.
Aurangabad / Marathwada / Dakhni cuisine is a blend of the Puneri and the Hyderabadi cuisine (which beautifully blends the use of typical South Indian ingredients such as curry leaves, tamarind and coconut into their celebrated culinary practices).
SPORTS
Cricket is very popular in grounds and streets of the city. International-standard cricket stadium at Aurangabad District Cricket Association Stadium is under counstruct. Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College Sports Complex is a sports complex with in Jawaharlal Nehru Engineering College mainly used by college sports event.
LOCAL ARTS
Paithani Textiles: The Paithani sarees from Paithan are considered to be priced possession by one and all. One can get an opportunity to witness this age old art of weaving Paithani sarees. The yarn used is of pure silk and the zari or gold threads drawn from pure gold.
MASHRU AND HIMROO
Aurangabad is famous for Mashru and Himroo fabrics made of cotton and silk with the lustre of satin. Himru is an age-old weaving craft, and was originally known as kum khuab.
- Himroo: The fabric is said to have originated in Persia, though not conclusively proved, Himroo is associated with the times of Mohammad Tughlaq who ruled in the 14th century. When Mohammad Tughlaq shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad many weavers came and settled here. During the exodus the weavers instead of returning to Delhi stayed back here. During the reign of Malik Ambar, the city's fame attracted many people from far and wide. During the Mughal rule under Aurangzeb's governorship, Auarangabad the capital and the weavers became more prosperous. The only industry in Aurangabad allured hundreds of craftsman. Members of the royal family and an elite few used the famous Aurangabad Himroo. Himroo weaving is very characteristic and distinctive. Fabrics and shawls from Aurangabad are much in demand for their unique style and design.
- Bidriware : A unique form of gold and silver inlays on copper is preserved here from ancient Persian traditions that have been sustained in the Deccan. This ancient art still finds expression in the modern items like cufflinks, nameplates and more. Typical bidri items include plates, bowls, vases, ashtrays, trinket boxes, huqqa bases and jewellery.
- Kaghzipura: A place situated near Daulatabad made first handmade paper in India after the technology was brought here by Mongol invaders. Interestingly this paper has been used to print the Quran.

PUBLIC FORUM
All the facts and the truth of this broadcast are purely imaginary and any resemble in any format is an incident.
In public forum today’s victims are the writer of “90 crore ki barsaat” and of “asimit noto ki dhanwarsha published by Randhir Prakashan haridwar. These books created a new stones of the Indian publishing. The writer is a gazette engineer in Public Health Department of Chhattisgarh government but he deals in bottle, coin, antique items and are the activities which are legally prohibited; although his hobbies are to research and to do something new with his research experience in foreign countries. In Public forum it is to charge Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt as a critical writer.
CRITICAL WRITER
Anchor (1) :- Hellow & hai to everyone watching LOK ADALAT/AAP KI ADALAT?EK MULAKAT live and exclusive on your favourite channel. Today's victim are Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt , who are supposed to be a critical writer or a fool person to write on foolish matters.
Divesh Bhatt :- Good morning to all the readers/viewers. In my first criticized book ''90 CRORE KI BARSAAT" contents are researchers scholars followed by introduction to the matter. Afterword it contains necessary elements of the research methodology and a description of various coins after the huge part of the survey. The huge includes monkey brand 1818 coin, anna of 1962, gandhian coin, SUN brand 20 paisa, Fish brand one rupee, Dear brand five rupee, Horse brand coin & a lot more collection of notorious coins and a lot of methods to extract SATTA number and unbelievable money rain. The next chapter includes silky world of down birth, miracles of HARJOD, first egg of black hen, Dipped money, tortoise of 20 nails, IMLI KA BANDA, nine point five inches bronze glass, hypnotism by black turmeric, speaking owl, order me god, gold factory, selling of white PALASH, insurance of 90 lake, unlimited money rain am RAM LALU MAMTA formulas of forgery. The last part of the theses contains the truth of the miracles and date wise collection of SATT numbers. In the next part of the complexity included in ''ASIMIT NOTO KI DHANWARSHA'' the matters are the above followed by hippopotamus 50 paisa coin, lion and CHIND quarter Anna, 1939-1964-1970-1982-1994-1995 one rupee, advert VI, Victoria, quarter Anna and much more about duplication and its identification, robbery and retired salesmen of RATION shop, tank drama of RAMPUT villagers and also the rumors of money rain among villagers. Afterword contains are HATTAJODI, SIYARSINGI, VEER NUKH, hen killer BHANWARMALI & GARUD and its testing, egg of owl-peahen and dynosour & charging and roberry through coin, bottle eic 1818, chain link schemes, statute of 8 metals, Lebo, utensils & Patta factory, applications of the advance engineering , robbery in gold through double money in six months and in employment, advertising in news paper of mobile robbery, E robbery, E HAWALA etc. The last part of the thesis contains SATTA numbers concludes that the demanded article is unavailable and the demand of the available goods is nil. The duplicate goods may not be manufactured by myself else otherwise the purchaser is also not available. The existence of the party is also a dream whether charging is neither possible nor chemical exists. There is only robbery and rumors including magnet and window. Perhaps it is a way to destroy India completely via diversion of labors into nonprofit activities. Excluding the above my first research ''BAL PARYAWARAN'', PhD research ''UNICEF'', research paper ‘Growth models", under publication'' TANTRA MANTRA'', "application of advance engineering'', ''society and social engineering'', ''advance economics'', ''advance drawing and application''etc. are my facts in the service of the society.
Anchor (2) :- Why are you require to write much and more since the provision of the royalty income is a better package in poems, stories and in general books ? What is the case of your disturbance apart of writing the fools?
Divesh Bhatt :- I do write only the truth and nothing wrong in my sense. The permission of writing in errors could not be granted by my parents. I do obey the facts, speak the truth and I do what to said and do believe in facts. I am unable to collect 5-6 English, mathematics or sociology books followed by unusual publication + translation and unsafe sex stories. The provision of royalty income did not permitted by my employers but one may note that any book in the world can not be more valuable than any single page written by me. Again it is a challenge to all to prove my deep studies as an unusual, i will stop further writing . That is the reason to make me a god instead of stone statue by the defaulter managers including BABA of KHANDWA, PUSKAR and villagers of KORAPUT, KOTPAD and surroundings ANDHAR ORRISA. I financed two four wheeler nano car + 2 motorcycle to facilitate my blind followers and to convenience them to reach god on time of DIWALI & EED.
Anchor (3) :- You are blamed to repeat the matter and also to suggest 120/- robbery after 250/- earning.
Divesh Bhatt :- At the time of publication of the first book , I was unavailable in India . I went to foreign countries to see the batter way of research activities but as I returned to India, I have seen my incomplete book published by Randhir Prakashan , Haridwar as send my guide K L NISHAD (BHAIRAMGADI). I accept the lack of quality and quantity, resulted into another edition in the series of books. Again one may note if he doesn't found value for money , I will return Rs.250 plus Rs.120 equals Rs. 370 from my 25t+………..
Anchor (4) :- The process of nomenclature of your books (TITLE) isn't a scientific way.
Divesh Bhatt :- Gate in church gate is missing and monkeys are unavailable in BANDRA. If I do fake to improve Indian to please be right, do they obey? If I do write 'money can't be rained' did it be sell ? If not be selled how the public be read? If not be read how it is possible to conduct operation save India ? They read and obeyed but the group of robbers is continuously rumoring RP LP MP NM MP MIRROR as in the story of pigeon and DADI WALE BABA G .Be patriots, we will not face only the truth but the only god also, after the break. LOK ADALAT claims the writer to put the hard work exceeding his physical limits results into quality of the output.
EXTREME HARD WORKER
Anchor (5) :- Please tell us yours educational qualification. Are you a legal writer or a fool? What is the top model?
Divesh Bhatt :- I stood at the first position in the school in HSC , simultaneously crossing PPT ' the base qualifier of engineering' followed by AMIE (senior technician) & Bachelor of arts as well. Under permission of employer I again stood UNIVERSITY TOP in economics (gold medal). The basic qualification of lecturer UGC NET & VYPM SLET prove myself as a legal writer and this intensity of top of the model and nano LS BS4 defined the cleaver to reach the top. I have submitted my thesis on "UNICEF'' claiming child sexual exploitation as documentary photo proof but in vain due to unknown GAY concept by my woman guide . I also warned NITHARI CASE to save children with a dozen of lives but nobody believes my voice.
Anchor (6) :- please clarify the lives of children in detail ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Foolish TANTRIK of dhamtari (chattisgarh) not only claimer money rain through ROPE but its dealing in 25000/- also in cash. A group of 3 children (age between 10 y to 16 y) caused murder of a 12 year child as hanging till death followed by another three murder resulting into expansion of gang as a dozen of notorious criminals. The group couldn't understood that nobody is the purchaser and all are rumors but the district pulish fired 302, 304 IPC and put the murderers behind the wall of bastar jail as published in news papers. In the endless chain of crime , if I was able to approach them - could save the direct lives of a dozen of children including Jail visitors.
Anchor (7) :- You yourself drunk MCDOWELL 8 PM to indults followed by NANO visit to samples with mutton of 12 number ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Public servants and bureaucrats are habitual of corruption in the memories of MAHATMA GANDHI or PM, CM, BM etc. The legal advisor V N Gadgil of our only lady PM ex. Indira Gandhi carried Ten Million Well Scheme including Pond and Lake with surprising of pouring the same within the season to run the system of employment. Actually speaking the policy was a Nobel but it was either underestimated or leaked in bearcats, thus the whole on papers only. In the same context DKBRY for urban and DRY for rural people aims to save India by manufacturing duplicate articles saving India by foreigners and Englishmen. Under these activities the earning of 5000/ from Bablu Sahu owner of max 100 mc invested to survey of the Indian destroyers proved profitable once but whom are the beneficiaries of TATA INDICA journey by train by andhra doctors proceeding a theft of a dozen of rice and clove grains from the merchandiser shop ? They are again the victims of ZHADI (377) and the heaven visits results into whom luxury, unbelievable none.
Anchor (8) :- And how do you do take biscuits in BOLERO ?
Divesh Bhatt :- When I faced interview to the group of non adult defaulters in Dip Money , they planned to purchased Mahindra Bolero within 48 working hours eg. at Thursday , resulting into escape of myself by begging over the amount HARI PATTI in a few minutes for breakfast. By the way I ran naked without mirror and the left underwear, original and genuine are ready for auction and GANJA smugglers are invited with Scorpio . If the burglars are successful in their goal, they do purchase Xylo E 8 , is a myth. Please find a list of biscuit vehicles for n.a.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PERSONAL VEHICLES
alfa bolero
gio reva
navistar scorpio
maxicab thar
genio verito
maximo actyon
tourister chairman
korando,kyron, rexton, rodius, xuv 500 and ZLX m2dicor hybrid
It is clear that I am the most cleaver Indian of Mahindra. So it is advised either to take gold biscuits or to take PAN (iku) in commander without crown brake but lastly if to eat PARLE - BOLERO is the best.
Anchor (9) :- You are requested to kindly summarize the survey instead of a long memorandum.
Divesh Bhatt :- Out of a list of 12500 mobile numbers with name and address I do insure that all are defaulters excluding bajrang.
Anchor (10) :- Hellow. this guy is BAJRANG Baghel, the god ?
Bajrang :- This is the fact of a lakh of people surveyed by the officer and abstracted me the only honor in the world but one may note that his follower late Anand Rajak - Mechanic of double mileage without touching engine was quite faithful. Another close of him advocate K N Singh did not defeat any case since his practice.
Anchor (11) :- Singh Saheb is unavailable but please tell us the way of regular success of the lawyer.
Divesh Bhatt :- Each person in business is blind if horse friends gross what should he eat ? I am the advisor cum translator of Singh Saheb , who is the employer of a dozen of juniors and servants. This lawyer is an applicator of internet in excess and has hundreds of law books. At first he takes case study followed by seniors advise including Bilaspur and Supreme Court lawers . He owns Suzuki car and motorcycle , gift by father in law and Hero honda with my Nano provides convenience in approaching the fact . He also get facility of a samsung Laptop with samsung ac chamber and most of his note sheet are either prepared by me or approved by me. Thus all the decisions are in favor of him is the secret of success but he takes the whole 100% fees in advance and there is no chance of return of the fees due to win. Now some victims claim defaulter or non ownest but he is WAKIL No. 1 .
Do not miss BABA G KE PRAVACHAN but after the break.
Writer claimed time mismanagement!
Anchor (12) :- You take a sleep at am , wake up 10 am. As you get up your mobile gets nonstop 12 + h working .
Divesh Bhatt :- This is true that I do get wake lately. This is the reason that my time of call is 9 to 12 pm. The all over India helpline numbers for disadvantaged persons are 09425636422 + 09926395795 . These numbers are found in my letter pad, name plate, official seal and also on internet facebook.com .These numbers are also running in the script of the interview . I have volunteer helpers in survey and driver + Helper + meson are already available in my doorstep. I tried my best even door to door service of all the readers but a little knowledge is quite dangerous as in story of ABHIMANYU. Therefore I stay on mobile up to battery low of the caller and my numbers are always busy at the moment. I have a secret Vodaphone number for personal use . We may put place a strict order to take permission of myself before entering into coin business.
Anchor (13) :- And what is the endless conclusion ? eg describe India in your dream ?
Divesh Bhatt :- There is a group of mobile robbers to eat 17000 to 83000 per customer as an advance for finance . They assure a laptop worth Rs 6999, so does D K Bhatt is a half mind to purchase the same for Rs 15000. The group even claims a solution of any kind of problem including home conflict, satta, gadadhan and charging of a coin. They use E mail id, HDFC cheque and all the modern facilities of E LOOT. Three numbers of live dead bodies in Geedam city of Chattisgarh, UP formulae (gold) of tractor specialist, Manoj Dammur Rs.2500, 1360 in magnet and the parrarel robbery directed me to write in deep. The most honest person in india (bhagwan g) says the dozen of Jwellers in the capital of chattisgarh may escape before diwali.
Anchor (14) :- You were charged of negligence in public work by your sub divisional officer in 2002. A mad officer committed suicide and an SDO became made. What is this drama? You get a handsome salary of 25 t per month and a F type big bungalow. Why do you commit negligence in work ?
Divesh Bhatt :- During process of universal proof of hypotheses required police verification for passport. At the moment commissioner of police, city, Hoshangabad kept me under custody for 72 + hours . This was the reason for me absence from work for a week resulted into such explanation in the chess with burglar contractors claims the limited mind of Indians. If an officer becomes mad after firing a notice to me or anybody tries to eat food allotted to ZINDA GANDHI and commits suicide, it is the disturbance of the system. If a time keeper drives his cycle on rail track or walks on platform with half mind SDO or a vegetable seller hides himself behind the Piggeo auto (gifted by me), all are consequence of the system. It is interesting to note that dog are not familiar of the reverse gear in vehicles. They have seen all the vehicles in forward running only and the practice of barking has got by them in nature. The writer is habitual of throwing dogs in reverse. He has 15 years experience for such activities but in regard of guru DRONE it is to note that the children of 19 th century listened story of milkman and monkey, tortoise and rabbit, dear and camel etc. but now a days in 21st century instead of computer and technology, they are getting a practical training of window, magnet, surgery and forgery. Who is the DONGRE? Who is the mastermind of Indian slave? Who told the necessarily of hippopotamus in 50 paisa? Who told to write SATYAMEV JAYTE in one rupee of 1970? Again it is impossible to detect the mastermind of fake currency or the different techniques of testing currency eg tv, bulb, tube light. Vasco d gama and Englishmen were partially success in getting India slave but in 2 h years. Thus the only purpose of my deep research is to identify problem among villagers and an investment of 25 t per month from last decade concludes each page of my book to replace RAMAYAN, MAHABHARAT, BIBLE,KURAN, GEETA and it is a historical miracle to include in each library .
Anchor (15) :- What is the time management ?
Divesh Bhatt :- 18+ h working with 100% efficiency is time management.
Charges are continuing on shri Bhatt and it isn’t possible to clear them by him.
LOK ADALAT charges D K Bhatt as corrupted GUNDA.
Anchor (16) :- We have listen that you diet is more than double of a normal person . Still you are hungry, why ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Before entering into government job, I was PAPPU PAHALWAN in Vijay Health Club, Hoshangabad (MP). Afterword diet remained high & old looking body is the sign of increasing knowledge. Sachin Tendulkar made century of centuries but still hunger of runs, in the same way I do collect knowledge.
Anchor (17) :- This means you drink a lot !
Divesh Bhatt :- I haven't drunk in my entire life. I also am not interested in hunger sex.
Anchor (18) :- you are unmarried, supposed to be un believable .
Divesh Bhatt :- I am ready to listen defaulter, not faitfull, runner, eater, cheater, mad, nonsence etc. . It is again to notice that the delay in marriage due to family reasons and BABAg are identical nomenclatures.
Anchor (19) :- What is this babababa ?
Divesh Bhatt :- clearks are domicile of India since British rule. Baba are found on footpath near stations having readymade hairs on face. These baba were getting business of Dharma but they caught forgery of double money. Now these baba's are reburying babu's on 1 st day of month through mediator of engineer causing long term loss of faith of a man on baba&babu.
Anchor (20) :- You have given 5t, 5t, 12t, 11t corruption for Phd, passport, foreign journey, probation, govt. bunglaw . you invested 85h + 24h +125000 in bottle, 8500/ in PATTA, 70+80 h in neel chemical, 20t + nano in Rs. 10. You found 6t selling cost of 13t purchase value cddeshmukh cross five 3 dear. In this 6t you paid 3t to icici firozabad for further business and for rest 3 t please define Dadar, Bhaikhala, Chinchpokli, Dahisar and Biowar bus stand
Divesh Bhatt :- As I told there are two alternates of work, either zero or you know. I do hereby declare that in 11 year's engineer job, i did not get even rs 10 as corruption. I didn't earn any money even rs 5 in my job and all my quality works were in absence of donation. One may check measurement book number 119&120 for that with notepad of 3500/ given by contractor to me not as a part of corruption but a compensation of china mobile purchased in delhi worth Rs 8500/. This contractor Pande (G must) illustrates American method of CSR + incentive but in vain due to the reason that he lectures in drunk and he also suggested to mix lime stone with a little amount of Gypsum to make alternate cement and to make civil construction under low cost with high quality.
Now one may listen that this 3 L turnover may expended into 10 L cash of my salary and nearly half amount of earning in selling these items. This total exceeds 15 Lakh rupees and these are dipped investment to save India .
These names are listened as of some railway stations, where I found three new comer of coin business, in which one was LAMBU and another was TINGU. They told me to visit internet to see 9 inches rice pulling bowl , dealing in 1 t crore, token to be taken 10 crore before saturday . I told RP to hota hi nahi he, C to hota hi nahi he, Gorakhpur is 3 days running by train, today is monday .............! Lambu g said aero plane takes on 6 hours, payment is to be collected by check.................! now Tingu G supposed me a ZANDU.
In the same way I went AJMER the makkamadina of india for the endless reverse to purchase 2 piece of 3 dear cross 5 in 15900+16700+22000 expenses . In that currency one of the dear was sitting was the nonsense reason. Any way two old persons aged 65-70 year in which one was Bengali, whose friendship was of 65 years, lived in biover nearly 70 km from ajmer , called me to come. As I reached the city , they said we have purchased 12 books from munna kabadi. All contained mobile number of the writer, we miss called to all . 6 reached to my foot since morning, two are on railway station and two are on bus stand. One will come by aero plane and you came 2 hours late . It is our pleasure to take you from SBI chowk. Now excluding unnecessary lectures, I have seen hundreds of DADAR styled currency, they told one rupee note signed by RA NA Malhotra may sell one piece in Rs ZERO, two piece in Rs ZERO three piece in Rs ZERO, four piece in Rs 5 LAT cash but they forget that the PARTY doesn't exists. Sex specialists call of Illahabad (UP) for magnet, doctor's call for the HAJMOLA powder pulling rice upto 9 inches last week, two mouth snake of Bulandshahar, extensive field work and continuous research with nonstop working made me the only authorized person to make a helpline but I am again confused to find the quantity of coin mind in a general villager. Robbery in magnet coin beside the lake by an engineer who himself constructed that pound, leaving coconut shop business for Rs 10 two peacock, missed call from indult to purchase the same and adiwasi loot confused me , who is MAYA . My continuous faller confused that mayawati isn't CM, she is found in ganga river but she is not a money as Laxmi bai found in Jhansi cantt. in Rs. hari patti.
Anchor (21) :- You have beaten three number of policemen in thana of Thane, one advocate in district court, two doctors in hospitals, two villagers in street and also your officers in office. This weekly recovery claims you criminal of Ipc 294
Divesh Bhatt :- As you know that I was a manager and manufacturer cum seller of cooler and Jalpari motor before government engineer but the lease of rest finaced named week by fools. The policemen beated me and eated my nose as of Indira Gandhi , I felt 20 on those 19. Doctors enjoyed the dream of my kidni selling. This 16 years old LLB student dreamed and calculated the profit of child selling in camel race in arabs and the villagers were domicile of maya state UP. Now please note I will beat a computer salesman in shop, a vegetable seller in auto, defaulter factory managers in their residence cum bottle manufacturing units . India is a ball, rolling out of track, save otherwise it will fall. I do affraid of 25 type policemen, 50 type TI and 5 - 10 sp-dsp since protection is another matter anyway.
Anchor (22) :- You broke lock of your office and of LIG 07, H 18, G2, G35, F2 and also define MIG II 36, HIG 378, 11 no. makan and lift wala bunglaw .
Divesh Bhatt :- I was only a mediator in entering into new office building as per the verbal order of the district collector. LIG 07 is a temple of coin businessmen, H18 is a picnic spot for a story of a pair of hours, G2 is a residence of 2500/ defaulter, G35 was double locked instead of breaking as of G38 and lastly F2 is the only compensation of the collector to host the reader and followers and also a centre of group eating. MIG36 & 11 no makan are made by SADA and 378 is a rental owned bungalow. Lift Wala Bunglow behind collector bungalow is a joint venture dream of myself with advocate K N Singh , who constructed a new constitution in which he explains IPC 448.
Today it is again charged to Divesh Bhatt that he speaks a lot but in vain.
Anchor (23) :- You commit COW..................
Divesh Bhatt :- Cow found left but if the owner of the cow (policeman) meets , beat him a lot.
Anchor (24) :- You commit if 5 strait...............
Divesh Bhatt :- If 5 is straight , it is a dealing of 220 Arab sum of money. If SATYAMEV JAYTE written in front, it is a dealing of 30 t c . If 1995 printed, it is a dealing of 1L dollar and if the aero plane becomes crash as we unveil the main plate , the article may cost 17725 K but it is a must to be presence of the barking dog in that who eat note instead of mutton and latrines the same.
Anchor (25) :- That DOG................
Divesh Bhatt :- DOG in the street eaten 15000 sum of money. Now sit & wait to latrine the dog, since he will extract only money.
Anchor (26) :- This means you commit a lot but in vain.
Divesh Bhatt :- In the cycle of coin game it is a policy to demands the goods which are not available and if some sort of goods found in market near Ganga river , the foolish persons commit a lot of lacks in that. The formulae’s of shipping are formulated to destroy the whole system but no one is the purchaser. All the living men are found in a cycle of fool-mediator-tester-financer-party but party doesn't survive at last. Dear monkey brand men , think, Rs 1 is not sufficient to purchase the medicine of mother. Rs 5 is not capable of sufficient milk purchase for baby. Two & half rupees does not a valid money. Rs 10 founds in two peacock and Rs 100 if contains eagle may not run in market due to huge a 4 size. We cannot put medicine of mother in 3 kg bottle and aslso can not drink water in that. The bottle is not a passport of Pakistan and if taken with bucket , one may caught in smuggling. So why is this eager and hunger? You know that half of our population is women and half of them are children. It is a policy of Englishmen to not survive India by habituating commonwealth, cricket, sex, satt, coin and bottle to the 20% working persons. please honor my deep studies otherwise we will destroy ourself. This is the conclusion of my books .
Now we will test the result of public after the break.
Anchor (27) :- Now please quote a message to the Indian through this forum .
Divesh Bhatt :- To remove the rumor of money rain, there are only alternatives to barter system or to design the currency by D K Bhatt photo. This will also cause solution to black money and inflaflation with economic equality as well.
Anchor (28) :- What are your expectation by government through this forum ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Since Dantewada is a naxal district, it is must to have police protection to all of us TEEN MURTI.

PUBLIC FORUM
All the facts and the truth of this broadcast are purely imaginary and any resemble in any format is an incident.
In public forum today’s victims are the writer of “90 crore ki barsaat” and of “asimit noto ki dhanwarsha published by Randhir Prakashan haridwar. These books created a new stones of the Indian publishing. The writer is a gazette engineer in Public Health Department of Chhattisgarh government but he deals in bottle, coin, antique items and are the activities which are legally prohibited; although his hobbies are to research and to do something new with his research experience in foreign countries. In Public forum it is to charge Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt as a critical writer.
CRITICAL WRITER
Anchor (1) :- Hellow & hai to everyone watching LOK ADALAT/AAP KI ADALAT?EK MULAKAT live and exclusive on your favourite channel. Today's victim are Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt , who are supposed to be a critical writer or a fool person to write on foolish matters.
Divesh Bhatt :- Good morning to all the readers/viewers. In my first criticized book ''90 CRORE KI BARSAAT" contents are researchers scholars followed by introduction to the matter. Afterword it contains necessary elements of the research methodology and a description of various coins after the huge part of the survey. The huge includes monkey brand 1818 coin, anna of 1962, gandhian coin, SUN brand 20 paisa, Fish brand one rupee, Dear brand five rupee, Horse brand coin & a lot more collection of notorious coins and a lot of methods to extract SATTA number and unbelievable money rain. The next chapter includes silky world of down birth, miracles of HARJOD, first egg of black hen, Dipped money, tortoise of 20 nails, IMLI KA BANDA, nine point five inches bronze glass, hypnotism by black turmeric, speaking owl, order me god, gold factory, selling of white PALASH, insurance of 90 lake, unlimited money rain am RAM LALU MAMTA formulas of forgery. The last part of the theses contains the truth of the miracles and date wise collection of SATT numbers. In the next part of the complexity included in ''ASIMIT NOTO KI DHANWARSHA'' the matters are the above followed by hippopotamus 50 paisa coin, lion and CHIND quarter Anna, 1939-1964-1970-1982-1994-1995 one rupee, advert VI, Victoria, quarter Anna and much more about duplication and its identification, robbery and retired salesmen of RATION shop, tank drama of RAMPUT villagers and also the rumors of money rain among villagers. Afterword contains are HATTAJODI, SIYARSINGI, VEER NUKH, hen killer BHANWARMALI & GARUD and its testing, egg of owl-peahen and dynosour & charging and roberry through coin, bottle eic 1818, chain link schemes, statute of 8 metals, Lebo, utensils & Patta factory, applications of the advance engineering , robbery in gold through double money in six months and in employment, advertising in news paper of mobile robbery, E robbery, E HAWALA etc. The last part of the thesis contains SATTA numbers concludes that the demanded article is unavailable and the demand of the available goods is nil. The duplicate goods may not be manufactured by myself else otherwise the purchaser is also not available. The existence of the party is also a dream whether charging is neither possible nor chemical exists. There is only robbery and rumors including magnet and window. Perhaps it is a way to destroy India completely via diversion of labors into nonprofit activities. Excluding the above my first research ''BAL PARYAWARAN'', PhD research ''UNICEF'', research paper ‘Growth models", under publication'' TANTRA MANTRA'', "application of advance engineering'', ''society and social engineering'', ''advance economics'', ''advance drawing and application''etc. are my facts in the service of the society.
Anchor (2) :- Why are you require to write much and more since the provision of the royalty income is a better package in poems, stories and in general books ? What is the case of your disturbance apart of writing the fools?
Divesh Bhatt :- I do write only the truth and nothing wrong in my sense. The permission of writing in errors could not be granted by my parents. I do obey the facts, speak the truth and I do what to said and do believe in facts. I am unable to collect 5-6 English, mathematics or sociology books followed by unusual publication + translation and unsafe sex stories. The provision of royalty income did not permitted by my employers but one may note that any book in the world can not be more valuable than any single page written by me. Again it is a challenge to all to prove my deep studies as an unusual, i will stop further writing . That is the reason to make me a god instead of stone statue by the defaulter managers including BABA of KHANDWA, PUSKAR and villagers of KORAPUT, KOTPAD and surroundings ANDHAR ORRISA. I financed two four wheeler nano car + 2 motorcycle to facilitate my blind followers and to convenience them to reach god on time of DIWALI & EED.
Anchor (3) :- You are blamed to repeat the matter and also to suggest 120/- robbery after 250/- earning.
Divesh Bhatt :- At the time of publication of the first book , I was unavailable in India . I went to foreign countries to see the batter way of research activities but as I returned to India, I have seen my incomplete book published by Randhir Prakashan , Haridwar as send my guide K L NISHAD (BHAIRAMGADI). I accept the lack of quality and quantity, resulted into another edition in the series of books. Again one may note if he doesn't found value for money , I will return Rs.250 plus Rs.120 equals Rs. 370 from my 25t+………..
Anchor (4) :- The process of nomenclature of your books (TITLE) isn't a scientific way.
Divesh Bhatt :- Gate in church gate is missing and monkeys are unavailable in BANDRA. If I do fake to improve Indian to please be right, do they obey? If I do write 'money can't be rained' did it be sell ? If not be selled how the public be read? If not be read how it is possible to conduct operation save India ? They read and obeyed but the group of robbers is continuously rumoring RP LP MP NM MP MIRROR as in the story of pigeon and DADI WALE BABA G .Be patriots, we will not face only the truth but the only god also, after the break. LOK ADALAT claims the writer to put the hard work exceeding his physical limits results into quality of the output.
EXTREME HARD WORKER
Anchor (5) :- Please tell us yours educational qualification. Are you a legal writer or a fool? What is the top model?
Divesh Bhatt :- I stood at the first position in the school in HSC , simultaneously crossing PPT ' the base qualifier of engineering' followed by AMIE (senior technician) & Bachelor of arts as well. Under permission of employer I again stood UNIVERSITY TOP in economics (gold medal). The basic qualification of lecturer UGC NET & VYPM SLET prove myself as a legal writer and this intensity of top of the model and nano LS BS4 defined the cleaver to reach the top. I have submitted my thesis on "UNICEF'' claiming child sexual exploitation as documentary photo proof but in vain due to unknown GAY concept by my woman guide . I also warned NITHARI CASE to save children with a dozen of lives but nobody believes my voice.
Anchor (6) :- please clarify the lives of children in detail ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Foolish TANTRIK of dhamtari (chattisgarh) not only claimer money rain through ROPE but its dealing in 25000/- also in cash. A group of 3 children (age between 10 y to 16 y) caused murder of a 12 year child as hanging till death followed by another three murder resulting into expansion of gang as a dozen of notorious criminals. The group couldn't understood that nobody is the purchaser and all are rumors but the district pulish fired 302, 304 IPC and put the murderers behind the wall of bastar jail as published in news papers. In the endless chain of crime , if I was able to approach them - could save the direct lives of a dozen of children including Jail visitors.
Anchor (7) :- You yourself drunk MCDOWELL 8 PM to indults followed by NANO visit to samples with mutton of 12 number ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Public servants and bureaucrats are habitual of corruption in the memories of MAHATMA GANDHI or PM, CM, BM etc. The legal advisor V N Gadgil of our only lady PM ex. Indira Gandhi carried Ten Million Well Scheme including Pond and Lake with surprising of pouring the same within the season to run the system of employment. Actually speaking the policy was a Nobel but it was either underestimated or leaked in bearcats, thus the whole on papers only. In the same context DKBRY for urban and DRY for rural people aims to save India by manufacturing duplicate articles saving India by foreigners and Englishmen. Under these activities the earning of 5000/ from Bablu Sahu owner of max 100 mc invested to survey of the Indian destroyers proved profitable once but whom are the beneficiaries of TATA INDICA journey by train by andhra doctors proceeding a theft of a dozen of rice and clove grains from the merchandiser shop ? They are again the victims of ZHADI (377) and the heaven visits results into whom luxury, unbelievable none.
Anchor (8) :- And how do you do take biscuits in BOLERO ?
Divesh Bhatt :- When I faced interview to the group of non adult defaulters in Dip Money , they planned to purchased Mahindra Bolero within 48 working hours eg. at Thursday , resulting into escape of myself by begging over the amount HARI PATTI in a few minutes for breakfast. By the way I ran naked without mirror and the left underwear, original and genuine are ready for auction and GANJA smugglers are invited with Scorpio . If the burglars are successful in their goal, they do purchase Xylo E 8 , is a myth. Please find a list of biscuit vehicles for n.a.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PERSONAL VEHICLES
alfa bolero
gio reva
navistar scorpio
maxicab thar
genio verito
maximo actyon
tourister chairman
korando,kyron, rexton, rodius, xuv 500 and ZLX m2dicor hybrid
It is clear that I am the most cleaver Indian of Mahindra. So it is advised either to take gold biscuits or to take PAN (iku) in commander without crown brake but lastly if to eat PARLE - BOLERO is the best.
Anchor (9) :- You are requested to kindly summarize the survey instead of a long memorandum.
Divesh Bhatt :- Out of a list of 12500 mobile numbers with name and address I do insure that all are defaulters excluding bajrang.
Anchor (10) :- Hellow. this guy is BAJRANG Baghel, the god ?
Bajrang :- This is the fact of a lakh of people surveyed by the officer and abstracted me the only honor in the world but one may note that his follower late Anand Rajak - Mechanic of double mileage without touching engine was quite faithful. Another close of him advocate K N Singh did not defeat any case since his practice.
Anchor (11) :- Singh Saheb is unavailable but please tell us the way of regular success of the lawyer.
Divesh Bhatt :- Each person in business is blind if horse friends gross what should he eat ? I am the advisor cum translator of Singh Saheb , who is the employer of a dozen of juniors and servants. This lawyer is an applicator of internet in excess and has hundreds of law books. At first he takes case study followed by seniors advise including Bilaspur and Supreme Court lawers . He owns Suzuki car and motorcycle , gift by father in law and Hero honda with my Nano provides convenience in approaching the fact . He also get facility of a samsung Laptop with samsung ac chamber and most of his note sheet are either prepared by me or approved by me. Thus all the decisions are in favor of him is the secret of success but he takes the whole 100% fees in advance and there is no chance of return of the fees due to win. Now some victims claim defaulter or non ownest but he is WAKIL No. 1 .
Do not miss BABA G KE PRAVACHAN but after the break.
Writer claimed time mismanagement!
Anchor (12) :- You take a sleep at am , wake up 10 am. As you get up your mobile gets nonstop 12 + h working .
Divesh Bhatt :- This is true that I do get wake lately. This is the reason that my time of call is 9 to 12 pm. The all over India helpline numbers for disadvantaged persons are 09425636422 + 09926395795 . These numbers are found in my letter pad, name plate, official seal and also on internet facebook.com .These numbers are also running in the script of the interview . I have volunteer helpers in survey and driver + Helper + meson are already available in my doorstep. I tried my best even door to door service of all the readers but a little knowledge is quite dangerous as in story of ABHIMANYU. Therefore I stay on mobile up to battery low of the caller and my numbers are always busy at the moment. I have a secret Vodaphone number for personal use . We may put place a strict order to take permission of myself before entering into coin business.
Anchor (13) :- And what is the endless conclusion ? eg describe India in your dream ?
Divesh Bhatt :- There is a group of mobile robbers to eat 17000 to 83000 per customer as an advance for finance . They assure a laptop worth Rs 6999, so does D K Bhatt is a half mind to purchase the same for Rs 15000. The group even claims a solution of any kind of problem including home conflict, satta, gadadhan and charging of a coin. They use E mail id, HDFC cheque and all the modern facilities of E LOOT. Three numbers of live dead bodies in Geedam city of Chattisgarh, UP formulae (gold) of tractor specialist, Manoj Dammur Rs.2500, 1360 in magnet and the parrarel robbery directed me to write in deep. The most honest person in india (bhagwan g) says the dozen of Jwellers in the capital of chattisgarh may escape before diwali.
Anchor (14) :- You were charged of negligence in public work by your sub divisional officer in 2002. A mad officer committed suicide and an SDO became made. What is this drama? You get a handsome salary of 25 t per month and a F type big bungalow. Why do you commit negligence in work ?
Divesh Bhatt :- During process of universal proof of hypotheses required police verification for passport. At the moment commissioner of police, city, Hoshangabad kept me under custody for 72 + hours . This was the reason for me absence from work for a week resulted into such explanation in the chess with burglar contractors claims the limited mind of Indians. If an officer becomes mad after firing a notice to me or anybody tries to eat food allotted to ZINDA GANDHI and commits suicide, it is the disturbance of the system. If a time keeper drives his cycle on rail track or walks on platform with half mind SDO or a vegetable seller hides himself behind the Piggeo auto (gifted by me), all are consequence of the system. It is interesting to note that dog are not familiar of the reverse gear in vehicles. They have seen all the vehicles in forward running only and the practice of barking has got by them in nature. The writer is habitual of throwing dogs in reverse. He has 15 years experience for such activities but in regard of guru DRONE it is to note that the children of 19 th century listened story of milkman and monkey, tortoise and rabbit, dear and camel etc. but now a days in 21st century instead of computer and technology, they are getting a practical training of window, magnet, surgery and forgery. Who is the DONGRE? Who is the mastermind of Indian slave? Who told the necessarily of hippopotamus in 50 paisa? Who told to write SATYAMEV JAYTE in one rupee of 1970? Again it is impossible to detect the mastermind of fake currency or the different techniques of testing currency eg tv, bulb, tube light. Vasco d gama and Englishmen were partially success in getting India slave but in 2 h years. Thus the only purpose of my deep research is to identify problem among villagers and an investment of 25 t per month from last decade concludes each page of my book to replace RAMAYAN, MAHABHARAT, BIBLE,KURAN, GEETA and it is a historical miracle to include in each library .
Anchor (15) :- What is the time management ?
Divesh Bhatt :- 18+ h working with 100% efficiency is time management.
Charges are continuing on shri Bhatt and it isn’t possible to clear them by him.
LOK ADALAT charges D K Bhatt as corrupted GUNDA.
Anchor (16) :- We have listen that you diet is more than double of a normal person . Still you are hungry, why ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Before entering into government job, I was PAPPU PAHALWAN in Vijay Health Club, Hoshangabad (MP). Afterword diet remained high & old looking body is the sign of increasing knowledge. Sachin Tendulkar made century of centuries but still hunger of runs, in the same way I do collect knowledge.
Anchor (17) :- This means you drink a lot !
Divesh Bhatt :- I haven't drunk in my entire life. I also am not interested in hunger sex.
Anchor (18) :- you are unmarried, supposed to be un believable .
Divesh Bhatt :- I am ready to listen defaulter, not faitfull, runner, eater, cheater, mad, nonsence etc. . It is again to notice that the delay in marriage due to family reasons and BABAg are identical nomenclatures.
Anchor (19) :- What is this babababa ?
Divesh Bhatt :- clearks are domicile of India since British rule. Baba are found on footpath near stations having readymade hairs on face. These baba were getting business of Dharma but they caught forgery of double money. Now these baba's are reburying babu's on 1 st day of month through mediator of engineer causing long term loss of faith of a man on baba&babu.
Anchor (20) :- You have given 5t, 5t, 12t, 11t corruption for Phd, passport, foreign journey, probation, govt. bunglaw . you invested 85h + 24h +125000 in bottle, 8500/ in PATTA, 70+80 h in neel chemical, 20t + nano in Rs. 10. You found 6t selling cost of 13t purchase value cddeshmukh cross five 3 dear. In this 6t you paid 3t to icici firozabad for further business and for rest 3 t please define Dadar, Bhaikhala, Chinchpokli, Dahisar and Biowar bus stand
Divesh Bhatt :- As I told there are two alternates of work, either zero or you know. I do hereby declare that in 11 year's engineer job, i did not get even rs 10 as corruption. I didn't earn any money even rs 5 in my job and all my quality works were in absence of donation. One may check measurement book number 119&120 for that with notepad of 3500/ given by contractor to me not as a part of corruption but a compensation of china mobile purchased in delhi worth Rs 8500/. This contractor Pande (G must) illustrates American method of CSR + incentive but in vain due to the reason that he lectures in drunk and he also suggested to mix lime stone with a little amount of Gypsum to make alternate cement and to make civil construction under low cost with high quality.
Now one may listen that this 3 L turnover may expended into 10 L cash of my salary and nearly half amount of earning in selling these items. This total exceeds 15 Lakh rupees and these are dipped investment to save India .
These names are listened as of some railway stations, where I found three new comer of coin business, in which one was LAMBU and another was TINGU. They told me to visit internet to see 9 inches rice pulling bowl , dealing in 1 t crore, token to be taken 10 crore before saturday . I told RP to hota hi nahi he, C to hota hi nahi he, Gorakhpur is 3 days running by train, today is monday .............! Lambu g said aero plane takes on 6 hours, payment is to be collected by check.................! now Tingu G supposed me a ZANDU.
In the same way I went AJMER the makkamadina of india for the endless reverse to purchase 2 piece of 3 dear cross 5 in 15900+16700+22000 expenses . In that currency one of the dear was sitting was the nonsense reason. Any way two old persons aged 65-70 year in which one was Bengali, whose friendship was of 65 years, lived in biover nearly 70 km from ajmer , called me to come. As I reached the city , they said we have purchased 12 books from munna kabadi. All contained mobile number of the writer, we miss called to all . 6 reached to my foot since morning, two are on railway station and two are on bus stand. One will come by aero plane and you came 2 hours late . It is our pleasure to take you from SBI chowk. Now excluding unnecessary lectures, I have seen hundreds of DADAR styled currency, they told one rupee note signed by RA NA Malhotra may sell one piece in Rs ZERO, two piece in Rs ZERO three piece in Rs ZERO, four piece in Rs 5 LAT cash but they forget that the PARTY doesn't exists. Sex specialists call of Illahabad (UP) for magnet, doctor's call for the HAJMOLA powder pulling rice upto 9 inches last week, two mouth snake of Bulandshahar, extensive field work and continuous research with nonstop working made me the only authorized person to make a helpline but I am again confused to find the quantity of coin mind in a general villager. Robbery in magnet coin beside the lake by an engineer who himself constructed that pound, leaving coconut shop business for Rs 10 two peacock, missed call from indult to purchase the same and adiwasi loot confused me , who is MAYA . My continuous faller confused that mayawati isn't CM, she is found in ganga river but she is not a money as Laxmi bai found in Jhansi cantt. in Rs. hari patti.
Anchor (21) :- You have beaten three number of policemen in thana of Thane, one advocate in district court, two doctors in hospitals, two villagers in street and also your officers in office. This weekly recovery claims you criminal of Ipc 294
Divesh Bhatt :- As you know that I was a manager and manufacturer cum seller of cooler and Jalpari motor before government engineer but the lease of rest finaced named week by fools. The policemen beated me and eated my nose as of Indira Gandhi , I felt 20 on those 19. Doctors enjoyed the dream of my kidni selling. This 16 years old LLB student dreamed and calculated the profit of child selling in camel race in arabs and the villagers were domicile of maya state UP. Now please note I will beat a computer salesman in shop, a vegetable seller in auto, defaulter factory managers in their residence cum bottle manufacturing units . India is a ball, rolling out of track, save otherwise it will fall. I do affraid of 25 type policemen, 50 type TI and 5 - 10 sp-dsp since protection is another matter anyway.
Anchor (22) :- You broke lock of your office and of LIG 07, H 18, G2, G35, F2 and also define MIG II 36, HIG 378, 11 no. makan and lift wala bunglaw .
Divesh Bhatt :- I was only a mediator in entering into new office building as per the verbal order of the district collector. LIG 07 is a temple of coin businessmen, H18 is a picnic spot for a story of a pair of hours, G2 is a residence of 2500/ defaulter, G35 was double locked instead of breaking as of G38 and lastly F2 is the only compensation of the collector to host the reader and followers and also a centre of group eating. MIG36 & 11 no makan are made by SADA and 378 is a rental owned bungalow. Lift Wala Bunglow behind collector bungalow is a joint venture dream of myself with advocate K N Singh , who constructed a new constitution in which he explains IPC 448.
Today it is again charged to Divesh Bhatt that he speaks a lot but in vain.
Anchor (23) :- You commit COW..................
Divesh Bhatt :- Cow found left but if the owner of the cow (policeman) meets , beat him a lot.
Anchor (24) :- You commit if 5 strait...............
Divesh Bhatt :- If 5 is straight , it is a dealing of 220 Arab sum of money. If SATYAMEV JAYTE written in front, it is a dealing of 30 t c . If 1995 printed, it is a dealing of 1L dollar and if the aero plane becomes crash as we unveil the main plate , the article may cost 17725 K but it is a must to be presence of the barking dog in that who eat note instead of mutton and latrines the same.
Anchor (25) :- That DOG................
Divesh Bhatt :- DOG in the street eaten 15000 sum of money. Now sit & wait to latrine the dog, since he will extract only money.
Anchor (26) :- This means you commit a lot but in vain.
Divesh Bhatt :- In the cycle of coin game it is a policy to demands the goods which are not available and if some sort of goods found in market near Ganga river , the foolish persons commit a lot of lacks in that. The formulae’s of shipping are formulated to destroy the whole system but no one is the purchaser. All the living men are found in a cycle of fool-mediator-tester-financer-party but party doesn't survive at last. Dear monkey brand men , think, Rs 1 is not sufficient to purchase the medicine of mother. Rs 5 is not capable of sufficient milk purchase for baby. Two & half rupees does not a valid money. Rs 10 founds in two peacock and Rs 100 if contains eagle may not run in market due to huge a 4 size. We cannot put medicine of mother in 3 kg bottle and aslso can not drink water in that. The bottle is not a passport of Pakistan and if taken with bucket , one may caught in smuggling. So why is this eager and hunger? You know that half of our population is women and half of them are children. It is a policy of Englishmen to not survive India by habituating commonwealth, cricket, sex, satt, coin and bottle to the 20% working persons. please honor my deep studies otherwise we will destroy ourself. This is the conclusion of my books .
Now we will test the result of public after the break.
Anchor (27) :- Now please quote a message to the Indian through this forum .
Divesh Bhatt :- To remove the rumor of money rain, there are only alternatives to barter system or to design the currency by D K Bhatt photo. This will also cause solution to black money and inflaflation with economic equality as well.
Anchor (28) :- What are your expectation by government through this forum ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Since Dantewada is a naxal district, it is must to have police protection to all of us TEEN MURTI.

PUBLIC FORUM
All the facts and the truth of this broadcast are purely imaginary and any resemble in any format is an incident.
In public forum today’s victims are the writer of “90 crore ki barsaat” and of “asimit noto ki dhanwarsha published by Randhir Prakashan haridwar. These books created a new stones of the Indian publishing. The writer is a gazette engineer in Public Health Department of Chhattisgarh government but he deals in bottle, coin, antique items and are the activities which are legally prohibited; although his hobbies are to research and to do something new with his research experience in foreign countries. In Public forum it is to charge Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt as a critical writer.
CRITICAL WRITER
Anchor (1) :- Hellow & hai to everyone watching LOK ADALAT/AAP KI ADALAT?EK MULAKAT live and exclusive on your favourite channel. Today's victim are Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt , who are supposed to be a critical writer or a fool person to write on foolish matters.
Divesh Bhatt :- Good morning to all the readers/viewers. In my first criticized book ''90 CRORE KI BARSAAT" contents are researchers scholars followed by introduction to the matter. Afterword it contains necessary elements of the research methodology and a description of various coins after the huge part of the survey. The huge includes monkey brand 1818 coin, anna of 1962, gandhian coin, SUN brand 20 paisa, Fish brand one rupee, Dear brand five rupee, Horse brand coin & a lot more collection of notorious coins and a lot of methods to extract SATTA number and unbelievable money rain. The next chapter includes silky world of down birth, miracles of HARJOD, first egg of black hen, Dipped money, tortoise of 20 nails, IMLI KA BANDA, nine point five inches bronze glass, hypnotism by black turmeric, speaking owl, order me god, gold factory, selling of white PALASH, insurance of 90 lake, unlimited money rain am RAM LALU MAMTA formulas of forgery. The last part of the theses contains the truth of the miracles and date wise collection of SATT numbers. In the next part of the complexity included in ''ASIMIT NOTO KI DHANWARSHA'' the matters are the above followed by hippopotamus 50 paisa coin, lion and CHIND quarter Anna, 1939-1964-1970-1982-1994-1995 one rupee, advert VI, Victoria, quarter Anna and much more about duplication and its identification, robbery and retired salesmen of RATION shop, tank drama of RAMPUT villagers and also the rumors of money rain among villagers. Afterword contains are HATTAJODI, SIYARSINGI, VEER NUKH, hen killer BHANWARMALI & GARUD and its testing, egg of owl-peahen and dynosour & charging and roberry through coin, bottle eic 1818, chain link schemes, statute of 8 metals, Lebo, utensils & Patta factory, applications of the advance engineering , robbery in gold through double money in six months and in employment, advertising in news paper of mobile robbery, E robbery, E HAWALA etc. The last part of the thesis contains SATTA numbers concludes that the demanded article is unavailable and the demand of the available goods is nil. The duplicate goods may not be manufactured by myself else otherwise the purchaser is also not available. The existence of the party is also a dream whether charging is neither possible nor chemical exists. There is only robbery and rumors including magnet and window. Perhaps it is a way to destroy India completely via diversion of labors into nonprofit activities. Excluding the above my first research ''BAL PARYAWARAN'', PhD research ''UNICEF'', research paper ‘Growth models", under publication'' TANTRA MANTRA'', "application of advance engineering'', ''society and social engineering'', ''advance economics'', ''advance drawing and application''etc. are my facts in the service of the society.
Anchor (2) :- Why are you require to write much and more since the provision of the royalty income is a better package in poems, stories and in general books ? What is the case of your disturbance apart of writing the fools?
Divesh Bhatt :- I do write only the truth and nothing wrong in my sense. The permission of writing in errors could not be granted by my parents. I do obey the facts, speak the truth and I do what to said and do believe in facts. I am unable to collect 5-6 English, mathematics or sociology books followed by unusual publication + translation and unsafe sex stories. The provision of royalty income did not permitted by my employers but one may note that any book in the world can not be more valuable than any single page written by me. Again it is a challenge to all to prove my deep studies as an unusual, i will stop further writing . That is the reason to make me a god instead of stone statue by the defaulter managers including BABA of KHANDWA, PUSKAR and villagers of KORAPUT, KOTPAD and surroundings ANDHAR ORRISA. I financed two four wheeler nano car + 2 motorcycle to facilitate my blind followers and to convenience them to reach god on time of DIWALI & EED.
Anchor (3) :- You are blamed to repeat the matter and also to suggest 120/- robbery after 250/- earning.
Divesh Bhatt :- At the time of publication of the first book , I was unavailable in India . I went to foreign countries to see the batter way of research activities but as I returned to India, I have seen my incomplete book published by Randhir Prakashan , Haridwar as send my guide K L NISHAD (BHAIRAMGADI). I accept the lack of quality and quantity, resulted into another edition in the series of books. Again one may note if he doesn't found value for money , I will return Rs.250 plus Rs.120 equals Rs. 370 from my 25t+………..
Anchor (4) :- The process of nomenclature of your books (TITLE) isn't a scientific way.
Divesh Bhatt :- Gate in church gate is missing and monkeys are unavailable in BANDRA. If I do fake to improve Indian to please be right, do they obey? If I do write 'money can't be rained' did it be sell ? If not be selled how the public be read? If not be read how it is possible to conduct operation save India ? They read and obeyed but the group of robbers is continuously rumoring RP LP MP NM MP MIRROR as in the story of pigeon and DADI WALE BABA G .Be patriots, we will not face only the truth but the only god also, after the break. LOK ADALAT claims the writer to put the hard work exceeding his physical limits results into quality of the output.
EXTREME HARD WORKER
Anchor (5) :- Please tell us yours educational qualification. Are you a legal writer or a fool? What is the top model?
Divesh Bhatt :- I stood at the first position in the school in HSC , simultaneously crossing PPT ' the base qualifier of engineering' followed by AMIE (senior technician) & Bachelor of arts as well. Under permission of employer I again stood UNIVERSITY TOP in economics (gold medal). The basic qualification of lecturer UGC NET & VYPM SLET prove myself as a legal writer and this intensity of top of the model and nano LS BS4 defined the cleaver to reach the top. I have submitted my thesis on "UNICEF'' claiming child sexual exploitation as documentary photo proof but in vain due to unknown GAY concept by my woman guide . I also warned NITHARI CASE to save children with a dozen of lives but nobody believes my voice.
Anchor (6) :- please clarify the lives of children in detail ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Foolish TANTRIK of dhamtari (chattisgarh) not only claimer money rain through ROPE but its dealing in 25000/- also in cash. A group of 3 children (age between 10 y to 16 y) caused murder of a 12 year child as hanging till death followed by another three murder resulting into expansion of gang as a dozen of notorious criminals. The group couldn't understood that nobody is the purchaser and all are rumors but the district pulish fired 302, 304 IPC and put the murderers behind the wall of bastar jail as published in news papers. In the endless chain of crime , if I was able to approach them - could save the direct lives of a dozen of children including Jail visitors.
Anchor (7) :- You yourself drunk MCDOWELL 8 PM to indults followed by NANO visit to samples with mutton of 12 number ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Public servants and bureaucrats are habitual of corruption in the memories of MAHATMA GANDHI or PM, CM, BM etc. The legal advisor V N Gadgil of our only lady PM ex. Indira Gandhi carried Ten Million Well Scheme including Pond and Lake with surprising of pouring the same within the season to run the system of employment. Actually speaking the policy was a Nobel but it was either underestimated or leaked in bearcats, thus the whole on papers only. In the same context DKBRY for urban and DRY for rural people aims to save India by manufacturing duplicate articles saving India by foreigners and Englishmen. Under these activities the earning of 5000/ from Bablu Sahu owner of max 100 mc invested to survey of the Indian destroyers proved profitable once but whom are the beneficiaries of TATA INDICA journey by train by andhra doctors proceeding a theft of a dozen of rice and clove grains from the merchandiser shop ? They are again the victims of ZHADI (377) and the heaven visits results into whom luxury, unbelievable none.
Anchor (8) :- And how do you do take biscuits in BOLERO ?
Divesh Bhatt :- When I faced interview to the group of non adult defaulters in Dip Money , they planned to purchased Mahindra Bolero within 48 working hours eg. at Thursday , resulting into escape of myself by begging over the amount HARI PATTI in a few minutes for breakfast. By the way I ran naked without mirror and the left underwear, original and genuine are ready for auction and GANJA smugglers are invited with Scorpio . If the burglars are successful in their goal, they do purchase Xylo E 8 , is a myth. Please find a list of biscuit vehicles for n.a.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PERSONAL VEHICLES
alfa bolero
gio reva
navistar scorpio
maxicab thar
genio verito
maximo actyon
tourister chairman
korando,kyron, rexton, rodius, xuv 500 and ZLX m2dicor hybrid
It is clear that I am the most cleaver Indian of Mahindra. So it is advised either to take gold biscuits or to take PAN (iku) in commander without crown brake but lastly if to eat PARLE - BOLERO is the best.
Anchor (9) :- You are requested to kindly summarize the survey instead of a long memorandum.
Divesh Bhatt :- Out of a list of 12500 mobile numbers with name and address I do insure that all are defaulters excluding bajrang.
Anchor (10) :- Hellow. this guy is BAJRANG Baghel, the god ?
Bajrang :- This is the fact of a lakh of people surveyed by the officer and abstracted me the only honor in the world but one may note that his follower late Anand Rajak - Mechanic of double mileage without touching engine was quite faithful. Another close of him advocate K N Singh did not defeat any case since his practice.
Anchor (11) :- Singh Saheb is unavailable but please tell us the way of regular success of the lawyer.
Divesh Bhatt :- Each person in business is blind if horse friends gross what should he eat ? I am the advisor cum translator of Singh Saheb , who is the employer of a dozen of juniors and servants. This lawyer is an applicator of internet in excess and has hundreds of law books. At first he takes case study followed by seniors advise including Bilaspur and Supreme Court lawers . He owns Suzuki car and motorcycle , gift by father in law and Hero honda with my Nano provides convenience in approaching the fact . He also get facility of a samsung Laptop with samsung ac chamber and most of his note sheet are either prepared by me or approved by me. Thus all the decisions are in favor of him is the secret of success but he takes the whole 100% fees in advance and there is no chance of return of the fees due to win. Now some victims claim defaulter or non ownest but he is WAKIL No. 1 .
Do not miss BABA G KE PRAVACHAN but after the break.
Writer claimed time mismanagement!
Anchor (12) :- You take a sleep at am , wake up 10 am. As you get up your mobile gets nonstop 12 + h working .
Divesh Bhatt :- This is true that I do get wake lately. This is the reason that my time of call is 9 to 12 pm. The all over India helpline numbers for disadvantaged persons are 09425636422 + 09926395795 . These numbers are found in my letter pad, name plate, official seal and also on internet facebook.com .These numbers are also running in the script of the interview . I have volunteer helpers in survey and driver + Helper + meson are already available in my doorstep. I tried my best even door to door service of all the readers but a little knowledge is quite dangerous as in story of ABHIMANYU. Therefore I stay on mobile up to battery low of the caller and my numbers are always busy at the moment. I have a secret Vodaphone number for personal use . We may put place a strict order to take permission of myself before entering into coin business.
Anchor (13) :- And what is the endless conclusion ? eg describe India in your dream ?
Divesh Bhatt :- There is a group of mobile robbers to eat 17000 to 83000 per customer as an advance for finance . They assure a laptop worth Rs 6999, so does D K Bhatt is a half mind to purchase the same for Rs 15000. The group even claims a solution of any kind of problem including home conflict, satta, gadadhan and charging of a coin. They use E mail id, HDFC cheque and all the modern facilities of E LOOT. Three numbers of live dead bodies in Geedam city of Chattisgarh, UP formulae (gold) of tractor specialist, Manoj Dammur Rs.2500, 1360 in magnet and the parrarel robbery directed me to write in deep. The most honest person in india (bhagwan g) says the dozen of Jwellers in the capital of chattisgarh may escape before diwali.
Anchor (14) :- You were charged of negligence in public work by your sub divisional officer in 2002. A mad officer committed suicide and an SDO became made. What is this drama? You get a handsome salary of 25 t per month and a F type big bungalow. Why do you commit negligence in work ?
Divesh Bhatt :- During process of universal proof of hypotheses required police verification for passport. At the moment commissioner of police, city, Hoshangabad kept me under custody for 72 + hours . This was the reason for me absence from work for a week resulted into such explanation in the chess with burglar contractors claims the limited mind of Indians. If an officer becomes mad after firing a notice to me or anybody tries to eat food allotted to ZINDA GANDHI and commits suicide, it is the disturbance of the system. If a time keeper drives his cycle on rail track or walks on platform with half mind SDO or a vegetable seller hides himself behind the Piggeo auto (gifted by me), all are consequence of the system. It is interesting to note that dog are not familiar of the reverse gear in vehicles. They have seen all the vehicles in forward running only and the practice of barking has got by them in nature. The writer is habitual of throwing dogs in reverse. He has 15 years experience for such activities but in regard of guru DRONE it is to note that the children of 19 th century listened story of milkman and monkey, tortoise and rabbit, dear and camel etc. but now a days in 21st century instead of computer and technology, they are getting a practical training of window, magnet, surgery and forgery. Who is the DONGRE? Who is the mastermind of Indian slave? Who told the necessarily of hippopotamus in 50 paisa? Who told to write SATYAMEV JAYTE in one rupee of 1970? Again it is impossible to detect the mastermind of fake currency or the different techniques of testing currency eg tv, bulb, tube light. Vasco d gama and Englishmen were partially success in getting India slave but in 2 h years. Thus the only purpose of my deep research is to identify problem among villagers and an investment of 25 t per month from last decade concludes each page of my book to replace RAMAYAN, MAHABHARAT, BIBLE,KURAN, GEETA and it is a historical miracle to include in each library .
Anchor (15) :- What is the time management ?
Divesh Bhatt :- 18+ h working with 100% efficiency is time management.
Charges are continuing on shri Bhatt and it isn’t possible to clear them by him.
LOK ADALAT charges D K Bhatt as corrupted GUNDA.
Anchor (16) :- We have listen that you diet is more than double of a normal person . Still you are hungry, why ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Before entering into government job, I was PAPPU PAHALWAN in Vijay Health Club, Hoshangabad (MP). Afterword diet remained high & old looking body is the sign of increasing knowledge. Sachin Tendulkar made century of centuries but still hunger of runs, in the same way I do collect knowledge.
Anchor (17) :- This means you drink a lot !
Divesh Bhatt :- I haven't drunk in my entire life. I also am not interested in hunger sex.
Anchor (18) :- you are unmarried, supposed to be un believable .
Divesh Bhatt :- I am ready to listen defaulter, not faitfull, runner, eater, cheater, mad, nonsence etc. . It is again to notice that the delay in marriage due to family reasons and BABAg are identical nomenclatures.
Anchor (19) :- What is this babababa ?
Divesh Bhatt :- clearks are domicile of India since British rule. Baba are found on footpath near stations having readymade hairs on face. These baba were getting business of Dharma but they caught forgery of double money. Now these baba's are reburying babu's on 1 st day of month through mediator of engineer causing long term loss of faith of a man on baba&babu.
Anchor (20) :- You have given 5t, 5t, 12t, 11t corruption for Phd, passport, foreign journey, probation, govt. bunglaw . you invested 85h + 24h +125000 in bottle, 8500/ in PATTA, 70+80 h in neel chemical, 20t + nano in Rs. 10. You found 6t selling cost of 13t purchase value cddeshmukh cross five 3 dear. In this 6t you paid 3t to icici firozabad for further business and for rest 3 t please define Dadar, Bhaikhala, Chinchpokli, Dahisar and Biowar bus stand
Divesh Bhatt :- As I told there are two alternates of work, either zero or you know. I do hereby declare that in 11 year's engineer job, i did not get even rs 10 as corruption. I didn't earn any money even rs 5 in my job and all my quality works were in absence of donation. One may check measurement book number 119&120 for that with notepad of 3500/ given by contractor to me not as a part of corruption but a compensation of china mobile purchased in delhi worth Rs 8500/. This contractor Pande (G must) illustrates American method of CSR + incentive but in vain due to the reason that he lectures in drunk and he also suggested to mix lime stone with a little amount of Gypsum to make alternate cement and to make civil construction under low cost with high quality.
Now one may listen that this 3 L turnover may expended into 10 L cash of my salary and nearly half amount of earning in selling these items. This total exceeds 15 Lakh rupees and these are dipped investment to save India .
These names are listened as of some railway stations, where I found three new comer of coin business, in which one was LAMBU and another was TINGU. They told me to visit internet to see 9 inches rice pulling bowl , dealing in 1 t crore, token to be taken 10 crore before saturday . I told RP to hota hi nahi he, C to hota hi nahi he, Gorakhpur is 3 days running by train, today is monday .............! Lambu g said aero plane takes on 6 hours, payment is to be collected by check.................! now Tingu G supposed me a ZANDU.
In the same way I went AJMER the makkamadina of india for the endless reverse to purchase 2 piece of 3 dear cross 5 in 15900+16700+22000 expenses . In that currency one of the dear was sitting was the nonsense reason. Any way two old persons aged 65-70 year in which one was Bengali, whose friendship was of 65 years, lived in biover nearly 70 km from ajmer , called me to come. As I reached the city , they said we have purchased 12 books from munna kabadi. All contained mobile number of the writer, we miss called to all . 6 reached to my foot since morning, two are on railway station and two are on bus stand. One will come by aero plane and you came 2 hours late . It is our pleasure to take you from SBI chowk. Now excluding unnecessary lectures, I have seen hundreds of DADAR styled currency, they told one rupee note signed by RA NA Malhotra may sell one piece in Rs ZERO, two piece in Rs ZERO three piece in Rs ZERO, four piece in Rs 5 LAT cash but they forget that the PARTY doesn't exists. Sex specialists call of Illahabad (UP) for magnet, doctor's call for the HAJMOLA powder pulling rice upto 9 inches last week, two mouth snake of Bulandshahar, extensive field work and continuous research with nonstop working made me the only authorized person to make a helpline but I am again confused to find the quantity of coin mind in a general villager. Robbery in magnet coin beside the lake by an engineer who himself constructed that pound, leaving coconut shop business for Rs 10 two peacock, missed call from indult to purchase the same and adiwasi loot confused me , who is MAYA . My continuous faller confused that mayawati isn't CM, she is found in ganga river but she is not a money as Laxmi bai found in Jhansi cantt. in Rs. hari patti.
Anchor (21) :- You have beaten three number of policemen in thana of Thane, one advocate in district court, two doctors in hospitals, two villagers in street and also your officers in office. This weekly recovery claims you criminal of Ipc 294
Divesh Bhatt :- As you know that I was a manager and manufacturer cum seller of cooler and Jalpari motor before government engineer but the lease of rest finaced named week by fools. The policemen beated me and eated my nose as of Indira Gandhi , I felt 20 on those 19. Doctors enjoyed the dream of my kidni selling. This 16 years old LLB student dreamed and calculated the profit of child selling in camel race in arabs and the villagers were domicile of maya state UP. Now please note I will beat a computer salesman in shop, a vegetable seller in auto, defaulter factory managers in their residence cum bottle manufacturing units . India is a ball, rolling out of track, save otherwise it will fall. I do affraid of 25 type policemen, 50 type TI and 5 - 10 sp-dsp since protection is another matter anyway.
Anchor (22) :- You broke lock of your office and of LIG 07, H 18, G2, G35, F2 and also define MIG II 36, HIG 378, 11 no. makan and lift wala bunglaw .
Divesh Bhatt :- I was only a mediator in entering into new office building as per the verbal order of the district collector. LIG 07 is a temple of coin businessmen, H18 is a picnic spot for a story of a pair of hours, G2 is a residence of 2500/ defaulter, G35 was double locked instead of breaking as of G38 and lastly F2 is the only compensation of the collector to host the reader and followers and also a centre of group eating. MIG36 & 11 no makan are made by SADA and 378 is a rental owned bungalow. Lift Wala Bunglow behind collector bungalow is a joint venture dream of myself with advocate K N Singh , who constructed a new constitution in which he explains IPC 448.
Today it is again charged to Divesh Bhatt that he speaks a lot but in vain.
Anchor (23) :- You commit COW..................
Divesh Bhatt :- Cow found left but if the owner of the cow (policeman) meets , beat him a lot.
Anchor (24) :- You commit if 5 strait...............
Divesh Bhatt :- If 5 is straight , it is a dealing of 220 Arab sum of money. If SATYAMEV JAYTE written in front, it is a dealing of 30 t c . If 1995 printed, it is a dealing of 1L dollar and if the aero plane becomes crash as we unveil the main plate , the article may cost 17725 K but it is a must to be presence of the barking dog in that who eat note instead of mutton and latrines the same.
Anchor (25) :- That DOG................
Divesh Bhatt :- DOG in the street eaten 15000 sum of money. Now sit & wait to latrine the dog, since he will extract only money.
Anchor (26) :- This means you commit a lot but in vain.
Divesh Bhatt :- In the cycle of coin game it is a policy to demands the goods which are not available and if some sort of goods found in market near Ganga river , the foolish persons commit a lot of lacks in that. The formulae’s of shipping are formulated to destroy the whole system but no one is the purchaser. All the living men are found in a cycle of fool-mediator-tester-financer-party but party doesn't survive at last. Dear monkey brand men , think, Rs 1 is not sufficient to purchase the medicine of mother. Rs 5 is not capable of sufficient milk purchase for baby. Two & half rupees does not a valid money. Rs 10 founds in two peacock and Rs 100 if contains eagle may not run in market due to huge a 4 size. We cannot put medicine of mother in 3 kg bottle and aslso can not drink water in that. The bottle is not a passport of Pakistan and if taken with bucket , one may caught in smuggling. So why is this eager and hunger? You know that half of our population is women and half of them are children. It is a policy of Englishmen to not survive India by habituating commonwealth, cricket, sex, satt, coin and bottle to the 20% working persons. please honor my deep studies otherwise we will destroy ourself. This is the conclusion of my books .
Now we will test the result of public after the break.
Anchor (27) :- Now please quote a message to the Indian through this forum .
Divesh Bhatt :- To remove the rumor of money rain, there are only alternatives to barter system or to design the currency by D K Bhatt photo. This will also cause solution to black money and inflaflation with economic equality as well.
Anchor (28) :- What are your expectation by government through this forum ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Since Dantewada is a naxal district, it is must to have police protection to all of us TEEN MURTI.

PUBLIC FORUM
All the facts and the truth of this broadcast are purely imaginary and any resemble in any format is an incident.
In public forum today’s victims are the writer of “90 crore ki barsaat” and of “asimit noto ki dhanwarsha published by Randhir Prakashan haridwar. These books created a new stones of the Indian publishing. The writer is a gazette engineer in Public Health Department of Chhattisgarh government but he deals in bottle, coin, antique items and are the activities which are legally prohibited; although his hobbies are to research and to do something new with his research experience in foreign countries. In Public forum it is to charge Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt as a critical writer.
CRITICAL WRITER
Anchor (1) :- Hellow & hai to everyone watching LOK ADALAT/AAP KI ADALAT?EK MULAKAT live and exclusive on your favourite channel. Today's victim are Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt , who are supposed to be a critical writer or a fool person to write on foolish matters.
Divesh Bhatt :- Good morning to all the readers/viewers. In my first criticized book ''90 CRORE KI BARSAAT" contents are researchers scholars followed by introduction to the matter. Afterword it contains necessary elements of the research methodology and a description of various coins after the huge part of the survey. The huge includes monkey brand 1818 coin, anna of 1962, gandhian coin, SUN brand 20 paisa, Fish brand one rupee, Dear brand five rupee, Horse brand coin & a lot more collection of notorious coins and a lot of methods to extract SATTA number and unbelievable money rain. The next chapter includes silky world of down birth, miracles of HARJOD, first egg of black hen, Dipped money, tortoise of 20 nails, IMLI KA BANDA, nine point five inches bronze glass, hypnotism by black turmeric, speaking owl, order me god, gold factory, selling of white PALASH, insurance of 90 lake, unlimited money rain am RAM LALU MAMTA formulas of forgery. The last part of the theses contains the truth of the miracles and date wise collection of SATT numbers. In the next part of the complexity included in ''ASIMIT NOTO KI DHANWARSHA'' the matters are the above followed by hippopotamus 50 paisa coin, lion and CHIND quarter Anna, 1939-1964-1970-1982-1994-1995 one rupee, advert VI, Victoria, quarter Anna and much more about duplication and its identification, robbery and retired salesmen of RATION shop, tank drama of RAMPUT villagers and also the rumors of money rain among villagers. Afterword contains are HATTAJODI, SIYARSINGI, VEER NUKH, hen killer BHANWARMALI & GARUD and its testing, egg of owl-peahen and dynosour & charging and roberry through coin, bottle eic 1818, chain link schemes, statute of 8 metals, Lebo, utensils & Patta factory, applications of the advance engineering , robbery in gold through double money in six months and in employment, advertising in news paper of mobile robbery, E robbery, E HAWALA etc. The last part of the thesis contains SATTA numbers concludes that the demanded article is unavailable and the demand of the available goods is nil. The duplicate goods may not be manufactured by myself else otherwise the purchaser is also not available. The existence of the party is also a dream whether charging is neither possible nor chemical exists. There is only robbery and rumors including magnet and window. Perhaps it is a way to destroy India completely via diversion of labors into nonprofit activities. Excluding the above my first research ''BAL PARYAWARAN'', PhD research ''UNICEF'', research paper ‘Growth models", under publication'' TANTRA MANTRA'', "application of advance engineering'', ''society and social engineering'', ''advance economics'', ''advance drawing and application''etc. are my facts in the service of the society.
Anchor (2) :- Why are you require to write much and more since the provision of the royalty income is a better package in poems, stories and in general books ? What is the case of your disturbance apart of writing the fools?
Divesh Bhatt :- I do write only the truth and nothing wrong in my sense. The permission of writing in errors could not be granted by my parents. I do obey the facts, speak the truth and I do what to said and do believe in facts. I am unable to collect 5-6 English, mathematics or sociology books followed by unusual publication + translation and unsafe sex stories. The provision of royalty income did not permitted by my employers but one may note that any book in the world can not be more valuable than any single page written by me. Again it is a challenge to all to prove my deep studies as an unusual, i will stop further writing . That is the reason to make me a god instead of stone statue by the defaulter managers including BABA of KHANDWA, PUSKAR and villagers of KORAPUT, KOTPAD and surroundings ANDHAR ORRISA. I financed two four wheeler nano car + 2 motorcycle to facilitate my blind followers and to convenience them to reach god on time of DIWALI & EED.
Anchor (3) :- You are blamed to repeat the matter and also to suggest 120/- robbery after 250/- earning.
Divesh Bhatt :- At the time of publication of the first book , I was unavailable in India . I went to foreign countries to see the batter way of research activities but as I returned to India, I have seen my incomplete book published by Randhir Prakashan , Haridwar as send my guide K L NISHAD (BHAIRAMGADI). I accept the lack of quality and quantity, resulted into another edition in the series of books. Again one may note if he doesn't found value for money , I will return Rs.250 plus Rs.120 equals Rs. 370 from my 25t+………..
Anchor (4) :- The process of nomenclature of your books (TITLE) isn't a scientific way.
Divesh Bhatt :- Gate in church gate is missing and monkeys are unavailable in BANDRA. If I do fake to improve Indian to please be right, do they obey? If I do write 'money can't be rained' did it be sell ? If not be selled how the public be read? If not be read how it is possible to conduct operation save India ? They read and obeyed but the group of robbers is continuously rumoring RP LP MP NM MP MIRROR as in the story of pigeon and DADI WALE BABA G .Be patriots, we will not face only the truth but the only god also, after the break. LOK ADALAT claims the writer to put the hard work exceeding his physical limits results into quality of the output.
EXTREME HARD WORKER
Anchor (5) :- Please tell us yours educational qualification. Are you a legal writer or a fool? What is the top model?
Divesh Bhatt :- I stood at the first position in the school in HSC , simultaneously crossing PPT ' the base qualifier of engineering' followed by AMIE (senior technician) & Bachelor of arts as well. Under permission of employer I again stood UNIVERSITY TOP in economics (gold medal). The basic qualification of lecturer UGC NET & VYPM SLET prove myself as a legal writer and this intensity of top of the model and nano LS BS4 defined the cleaver to reach the top. I have submitted my thesis on "UNICEF'' claiming child sexual exploitation as documentary photo proof but in vain due to unknown GAY concept by my woman guide . I also warned NITHARI CASE to save children with a dozen of lives but nobody believes my voice.
Anchor (6) :- please clarify the lives of children in detail ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Foolish TANTRIK of dhamtari (chattisgarh) not only claimer money rain through ROPE but its dealing in 25000/- also in cash. A group of 3 children (age between 10 y to 16 y) caused murder of a 12 year child as hanging till death followed by another three murder resulting into expansion of gang as a dozen of notorious criminals. The group couldn't understood that nobody is the purchaser and all are rumors but the district pulish fired 302, 304 IPC and put the murderers behind the wall of bastar jail as published in news papers. In the endless chain of crime , if I was able to approach them - could save the direct lives of a dozen of children including Jail visitors.
Anchor (7) :- You yourself drunk MCDOWELL 8 PM to indults followed by NANO visit to samples with mutton of 12 number ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Public servants and bureaucrats are habitual of corruption in the memories of MAHATMA GANDHI or PM, CM, BM etc. The legal advisor V N Gadgil of our only lady PM ex. Indira Gandhi carried Ten Million Well Scheme including Pond and Lake with surprising of pouring the same within the season to run the system of employment. Actually speaking the policy was a Nobel but it was either underestimated or leaked in bearcats, thus the whole on papers only. In the same context DKBRY for urban and DRY for rural people aims to save India by manufacturing duplicate articles saving India by foreigners and Englishmen. Under these activities the earning of 5000/ from Bablu Sahu owner of max 100 mc invested to survey of the Indian destroyers proved profitable once but whom are the beneficiaries of TATA INDICA journey by train by andhra doctors proceeding a theft of a dozen of rice and clove grains from the merchandiser shop ? They are again the victims of ZHADI (377) and the heaven visits results into whom luxury, unbelievable none.
Anchor (8) :- And how do you do take biscuits in BOLERO ?
Divesh Bhatt :- When I faced interview to the group of non adult defaulters in Dip Money , they planned to purchased Mahindra Bolero within 48 working hours eg. at Thursday , resulting into escape of myself by begging over the amount HARI PATTI in a few minutes for breakfast. By the way I ran naked without mirror and the left underwear, original and genuine are ready for auction and GANJA smugglers are invited with Scorpio . If the burglars are successful in their goal, they do purchase Xylo E 8 , is a myth. Please find a list of biscuit vehicles for n.a.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PERSONAL VEHICLES
alfa bolero
gio reva
navistar scorpio
maxicab thar
genio verito
maximo actyon
tourister chairman
korando,kyron, rexton, rodius, xuv 500 and ZLX m2dicor hybrid
It is clear that I am the most cleaver Indian of Mahindra. So it is advised either to take gold biscuits or to take PAN (iku) in commander without crown brake but lastly if to eat PARLE - BOLERO is the best.
Anchor (9) :- You are requested to kindly summarize the survey instead of a long memorandum.
Divesh Bhatt :- Out of a list of 12500 mobile numbers with name and address I do insure that all are defaulters excluding bajrang.
Anchor (10) :- Hellow. this guy is BAJRANG Baghel, the god ?
Bajrang :- This is the fact of a lakh of people surveyed by the officer and abstracted me the only honor in the world but one may note that his follower late Anand Rajak - Mechanic of double mileage without touching engine was quite faithful. Another close of him advocate K N Singh did not defeat any case since his practice.
Anchor (11) :- Singh Saheb is unavailable but please tell us the way of regular success of the lawyer.
Divesh Bhatt :- Each person in business is blind if horse friends gross what should he eat ? I am the advisor cum translator of Singh Saheb , who is the employer of a dozen of juniors and servants. This lawyer is an applicator of internet in excess and has hundreds of law books. At first he takes case study followed by seniors advise including Bilaspur and Supreme Court lawers . He owns Suzuki car and motorcycle , gift by father in law and Hero honda with my Nano provides convenience in approaching the fact . He also get facility of a samsung Laptop with samsung ac chamber and most of his note sheet are either prepared by me or approved by me. Thus all the decisions are in favor of him is the secret of success but he takes the whole 100% fees in advance and there is no chance of return of the fees due to win. Now some victims claim defaulter or non ownest but he is WAKIL No. 1 .
Do not miss BABA G KE PRAVACHAN but after the break.
Writer claimed time mismanagement!
Anchor (12) :- You take a sleep at am , wake up 10 am. As you get up your mobile gets nonstop 12 + h working .
Divesh Bhatt :- This is true that I do get wake lately. This is the reason that my time of call is 9 to 12 pm. The all over India helpline numbers for disadvantaged persons are 09425636422 + 09926395795 . These numbers are found in my letter pad, name plate, official seal and also on internet facebook.com .These numbers are also running in the script of the interview . I have volunteer helpers in survey and driver + Helper + meson are already available in my doorstep. I tried my best even door to door service of all the readers but a little knowledge is quite dangerous as in story of ABHIMANYU. Therefore I stay on mobile up to battery low of the caller and my numbers are always busy at the moment. I have a secret Vodaphone number for personal use . We may put place a strict order to take permission of myself before entering into coin business.
Anchor (13) :- And what is the endless conclusion ? eg describe India in your dream ?
Divesh Bhatt :- There is a group of mobile robbers to eat 17000 to 83000 per customer as an advance for finance . They assure a laptop worth Rs 6999, so does D K Bhatt is a half mind to purchase the same for Rs 15000. The group even claims a solution of any kind of problem including home conflict, satta, gadadhan and charging of a coin. They use E mail id, HDFC cheque and all the modern facilities of E LOOT. Three numbers of live dead bodies in Geedam city of Chattisgarh, UP formulae (gold) of tractor specialist, Manoj Dammur Rs.2500, 1360 in magnet and the parrarel robbery directed me to write in deep. The most honest person in india (bhagwan g) says the dozen of Jwellers in the capital of chattisgarh may escape before diwali.
Anchor (14) :- You were charged of negligence in public work by your sub divisional officer in 2002. A mad officer committed suicide and an SDO became made. What is this drama? You get a handsome salary of 25 t per month and a F type big bungalow. Why do you commit negligence in work ?
Divesh Bhatt :- During process of universal proof of hypotheses required police verification for passport. At the moment commissioner of police, city, Hoshangabad kept me under custody for 72 + hours . This was the reason for me absence from work for a week resulted into such explanation in the chess with burglar contractors claims the limited mind of Indians. If an officer becomes mad after firing a notice to me or anybody tries to eat food allotted to ZINDA GANDHI and commits suicide, it is the disturbance of the system. If a time keeper drives his cycle on rail track or walks on platform with half mind SDO or a vegetable seller hides himself behind the Piggeo auto (gifted by me), all are consequence of the system. It is interesting to note that dog are not familiar of the reverse gear in vehicles. They have seen all the vehicles in forward running only and the practice of barking has got by them in nature. The writer is habitual of throwing dogs in reverse. He has 15 years experience for such activities but in regard of guru DRONE it is to note that the children of 19 th century listened story of milkman and monkey, tortoise and rabbit, dear and camel etc. but now a days in 21st century instead of computer and technology, they are getting a practical training of window, magnet, surgery and forgery. Who is the DONGRE? Who is the mastermind of Indian slave? Who told the necessarily of hippopotamus in 50 paisa? Who told to write SATYAMEV JAYTE in one rupee of 1970? Again it is impossible to detect the mastermind of fake currency or the different techniques of testing currency eg tv, bulb, tube light. Vasco d gama and Englishmen were partially success in getting India slave but in 2 h years. Thus the only purpose of my deep research is to identify problem among villagers and an investment of 25 t per month from last decade concludes each page of my book to replace RAMAYAN, MAHABHARAT, BIBLE,KURAN, GEETA and it is a historical miracle to include in each library .
Anchor (15) :- What is the time management ?
Divesh Bhatt :- 18+ h working with 100% efficiency is time management.
Charges are continuing on shri Bhatt and it isn’t possible to clear them by him.
LOK ADALAT charges D K Bhatt as corrupted GUNDA.
Anchor (16) :- We have listen that you diet is more than double of a normal person . Still you are hungry, why ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Before entering into government job, I was PAPPU PAHALWAN in Vijay Health Club, Hoshangabad (MP). Afterword diet remained high & old looking body is the sign of increasing knowledge. Sachin Tendulkar made century of centuries but still hunger of runs, in the same way I do collect knowledge.
Anchor (17) :- This means you drink a lot !
Divesh Bhatt :- I haven't drunk in my entire life. I also am not interested in hunger sex.
Anchor (18) :- you are unmarried, supposed to be un believable .
Divesh Bhatt :- I am ready to listen defaulter, not faitfull, runner, eater, cheater, mad, nonsence etc. . It is again to notice that the delay in marriage due to family reasons and BABAg are identical nomenclatures.
Anchor (19) :- What is this babababa ?
Divesh Bhatt :- clearks are domicile of India since British rule. Baba are found on footpath near stations having readymade hairs on face. These baba were getting business of Dharma but they caught forgery of double money. Now these baba's are reburying babu's on 1 st day of month through mediator of engineer causing long term loss of faith of a man on baba&babu.
Anchor (20) :- You have given 5t, 5t, 12t, 11t corruption for Phd, passport, foreign journey, probation, govt. bunglaw . you invested 85h + 24h +125000 in bottle, 8500/ in PATTA, 70+80 h in neel chemical, 20t + nano in Rs. 10. You found 6t selling cost of 13t purchase value cddeshmukh cross five 3 dear. In this 6t you paid 3t to icici firozabad for further business and for rest 3 t please define Dadar, Bhaikhala, Chinchpokli, Dahisar and Biowar bus stand
Divesh Bhatt :- As I told there are two alternates of work, either zero or you know. I do hereby declare that in 11 year's engineer job, i did not get even rs 10 as corruption. I didn't earn any money even rs 5 in my job and all my quality works were in absence of donation. One may check measurement book number 119&120 for that with notepad of 3500/ given by contractor to me not as a part of corruption but a compensation of china mobile purchased in delhi worth Rs 8500/. This contractor Pande (G must) illustrates American method of CSR + incentive but in vain due to the reason that he lectures in drunk and he also suggested to mix lime stone with a little amount of Gypsum to make alternate cement and to make civil construction under low cost with high quality.
Now one may listen that this 3 L turnover may expended into 10 L cash of my salary and nearly half amount of earning in selling these items. This total exceeds 15 Lakh rupees and these are dipped investment to save India .
These names are listened as of some railway stations, where I found three new comer of coin business, in which one was LAMBU and another was TINGU. They told me to visit internet to see 9 inches rice pulling bowl , dealing in 1 t crore, token to be taken 10 crore before saturday . I told RP to hota hi nahi he, C to hota hi nahi he, Gorakhpur is 3 days running by train, today is monday .............! Lambu g said aero plane takes on 6 hours, payment is to be collected by check.................! now Tingu G supposed me a ZANDU.
In the same way I went AJMER the makkamadina of india for the endless reverse to purchase 2 piece of 3 dear cross 5 in 15900+16700+22000 expenses . In that currency one of the dear was sitting was the nonsense reason. Any way two old persons aged 65-70 year in which one was Bengali, whose friendship was of 65 years, lived in biover nearly 70 km from ajmer , called me to come. As I reached the city , they said we have purchased 12 books from munna kabadi. All contained mobile number of the writer, we miss called to all . 6 reached to my foot since morning, two are on railway station and two are on bus stand. One will come by aero plane and you came 2 hours late . It is our pleasure to take you from SBI chowk. Now excluding unnecessary lectures, I have seen hundreds of DADAR styled currency, they told one rupee note signed by RA NA Malhotra may sell one piece in Rs ZERO, two piece in Rs ZERO three piece in Rs ZERO, four piece in Rs 5 LAT cash but they forget that the PARTY doesn't exists. Sex specialists call of Illahabad (UP) for magnet, doctor's call for the HAJMOLA powder pulling rice upto 9 inches last week, two mouth snake of Bulandshahar, extensive field work and continuous research with nonstop working made me the only authorized person to make a helpline but I am again confused to find the quantity of coin mind in a general villager. Robbery in magnet coin beside the lake by an engineer who himself constructed that pound, leaving coconut shop business for Rs 10 two peacock, missed call from indult to purchase the same and adiwasi loot confused me , who is MAYA . My continuous faller confused that mayawati isn't CM, she is found in ganga river but she is not a money as Laxmi bai found in Jhansi cantt. in Rs. hari patti.
Anchor (21) :- You have beaten three number of policemen in thana of Thane, one advocate in district court, two doctors in hospitals, two villagers in street and also your officers in office. This weekly recovery claims you criminal of Ipc 294
Divesh Bhatt :- As you know that I was a manager and manufacturer cum seller of cooler and Jalpari motor before government engineer but the lease of rest finaced named week by fools. The policemen beated me and eated my nose as of Indira Gandhi , I felt 20 on those 19. Doctors enjoyed the dream of my kidni selling. This 16 years old LLB student dreamed and calculated the profit of child selling in camel race in arabs and the villagers were domicile of maya state UP. Now please note I will beat a computer salesman in shop, a vegetable seller in auto, defaulter factory managers in their residence cum bottle manufacturing units . India is a ball, rolling out of track, save otherwise it will fall. I do affraid of 25 type policemen, 50 type TI and 5 - 10 sp-dsp since protection is another matter anyway.
Anchor (22) :- You broke lock of your office and of LIG 07, H 18, G2, G35, F2 and also define MIG II 36, HIG 378, 11 no. makan and lift wala bunglaw .
Divesh Bhatt :- I was only a mediator in entering into new office building as per the verbal order of the district collector. LIG 07 is a temple of coin businessmen, H18 is a picnic spot for a story of a pair of hours, G2 is a residence of 2500/ defaulter, G35 was double locked instead of breaking as of G38 and lastly F2 is the only compensation of the collector to host the reader and followers and also a centre of group eating. MIG36 & 11 no makan are made by SADA and 378 is a rental owned bungalow. Lift Wala Bunglow behind collector bungalow is a joint venture dream of myself with advocate K N Singh , who constructed a new constitution in which he explains IPC 448.
Today it is again charged to Divesh Bhatt that he speaks a lot but in vain.
Anchor (23) :- You commit COW..................
Divesh Bhatt :- Cow found left but if the owner of the cow (policeman) meets , beat him a lot.
Anchor (24) :- You commit if 5 strait...............
Divesh Bhatt :- If 5 is straight , it is a dealing of 220 Arab sum of money. If SATYAMEV JAYTE written in front, it is a dealing of 30 t c . If 1995 printed, it is a dealing of 1L dollar and if the aero plane becomes crash as we unveil the main plate , the article may cost 17725 K but it is a must to be presence of the barking dog in that who eat note instead of mutton and latrines the same.
Anchor (25) :- That DOG................
Divesh Bhatt :- DOG in the street eaten 15000 sum of money. Now sit & wait to latrine the dog, since he will extract only money.
Anchor (26) :- This means you commit a lot but in vain.
Divesh Bhatt :- In the cycle of coin game it is a policy to demands the goods which are not available and if some sort of goods found in market near Ganga river , the foolish persons commit a lot of lacks in that. The formulae’s of shipping are formulated to destroy the whole system but no one is the purchaser. All the living men are found in a cycle of fool-mediator-tester-financer-party but party doesn't survive at last. Dear monkey brand men , think, Rs 1 is not sufficient to purchase the medicine of mother. Rs 5 is not capable of sufficient milk purchase for baby. Two & half rupees does not a valid money. Rs 10 founds in two peacock and Rs 100 if contains eagle may not run in market due to huge a 4 size. We cannot put medicine of mother in 3 kg bottle and aslso can not drink water in that. The bottle is not a passport of Pakistan and if taken with bucket , one may caught in smuggling. So why is this eager and hunger? You know that half of our population is women and half of them are children. It is a policy of Englishmen to not survive India by habituating commonwealth, cricket, sex, satt, coin and bottle to the 20% working persons. please honor my deep studies otherwise we will destroy ourself. This is the conclusion of my books .
Now we will test the result of public after the break.
Anchor (27) :- Now please quote a message to the Indian through this forum .
Divesh Bhatt :- To remove the rumor of money rain, there are only alternatives to barter system or to design the currency by D K Bhatt photo. This will also cause solution to black money and inflaflation with economic equality as well.
Anchor (28) :- What are your expectation by government through this forum ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Since Dantewada is a naxal district, it is must to have police protection to all of us TEEN MURTI.

PUBLIC FORUM
All the facts and the truth of this broadcast are purely imaginary and any resemble in any format is an incident.
In public forum today’s victims are the writer of “90 crore ki barsaat” and of “asimit noto ki dhanwarsha published by Randhir Prakashan haridwar. These books created a new stones of the Indian publishing. The writer is a gazette engineer in Public Health Department of Chhattisgarh government but he deals in bottle, coin, antique items and are the activities which are legally prohibited; although his hobbies are to research and to do something new with his research experience in foreign countries. In Public forum it is to charge Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt as a critical writer.
CRITICAL WRITER
Anchor (1) :- Hellow & hai to everyone watching LOK ADALAT/AAP KI ADALAT?EK MULAKAT live and exclusive on your favourite channel. Today's victim are Shri Divesh Kumar Bhatt , who are supposed to be a critical writer or a fool person to write on foolish matters.
Divesh Bhatt :- Good morning to all the readers/viewers. In my first criticized book ''90 CRORE KI BARSAAT" contents are researchers scholars followed by introduction to the matter. Afterword it contains necessary elements of the research methodology and a description of various coins after the huge part of the survey. The huge includes monkey brand 1818 coin, anna of 1962, gandhian coin, SUN brand 20 paisa, Fish brand one rupee, Dear brand five rupee, Horse brand coin & a lot more collection of notorious coins and a lot of methods to extract SATTA number and unbelievable money rain. The next chapter includes silky world of down birth, miracles of HARJOD, first egg of black hen, Dipped money, tortoise of 20 nails, IMLI KA BANDA, nine point five inches bronze glass, hypnotism by black turmeric, speaking owl, order me god, gold factory, selling of white PALASH, insurance of 90 lake, unlimited money rain am RAM LALU MAMTA formulas of forgery. The last part of the theses contains the truth of the miracles and date wise collection of SATT numbers. In the next part of the complexity included in ''ASIMIT NOTO KI DHANWARSHA'' the matters are the above followed by hippopotamus 50 paisa coin, lion and CHIND quarter Anna, 1939-1964-1970-1982-1994-1995 one rupee, advert VI, Victoria, quarter Anna and much more about duplication and its identification, robbery and retired salesmen of RATION shop, tank drama of RAMPUT villagers and also the rumors of money rain among villagers. Afterword contains are HATTAJODI, SIYARSINGI, VEER NUKH, hen killer BHANWARMALI & GARUD and its testing, egg of owl-peahen and dynosour & charging and roberry through coin, bottle eic 1818, chain link schemes, statute of 8 metals, Lebo, utensils & Patta factory, applications of the advance engineering , robbery in gold through double money in six months and in employment, advertising in news paper of mobile robbery, E robbery, E HAWALA etc. The last part of the thesis contains SATTA numbers concludes that the demanded article is unavailable and the demand of the available goods is nil. The duplicate goods may not be manufactured by myself else otherwise the purchaser is also not available. The existence of the party is also a dream whether charging is neither possible nor chemical exists. There is only robbery and rumors including magnet and window. Perhaps it is a way to destroy India completely via diversion of labors into nonprofit activities. Excluding the above my first research ''BAL PARYAWARAN'', PhD research ''UNICEF'', research paper ‘Growth models", under publication'' TANTRA MANTRA'', "application of advance engineering'', ''society and social engineering'', ''advance economics'', ''advance drawing and application''etc. are my facts in the service of the society.
Anchor (2) :- Why are you require to write much and more since the provision of the royalty income is a better package in poems, stories and in general books ? What is the case of your disturbance apart of writing the fools?
Divesh Bhatt :- I do write only the truth and nothing wrong in my sense. The permission of writing in errors could not be granted by my parents. I do obey the facts, speak the truth and I do what to said and do believe in facts. I am unable to collect 5-6 English, mathematics or sociology books followed by unusual publication + translation and unsafe sex stories. The provision of royalty income did not permitted by my employers but one may note that any book in the world can not be more valuable than any single page written by me. Again it is a challenge to all to prove my deep studies as an unusual, i will stop further writing . That is the reason to make me a god instead of stone statue by the defaulter managers including BABA of KHANDWA, PUSKAR and villagers of KORAPUT, KOTPAD and surroundings ANDHAR ORRISA. I financed two four wheeler nano car + 2 motorcycle to facilitate my blind followers and to convenience them to reach god on time of DIWALI & EED.
Anchor (3) :- You are blamed to repeat the matter and also to suggest 120/- robbery after 250/- earning.
Divesh Bhatt :- At the time of publication of the first book , I was unavailable in India . I went to foreign countries to see the batter way of research activities but as I returned to India, I have seen my incomplete book published by Randhir Prakashan , Haridwar as send my guide K L NISHAD (BHAIRAMGADI). I accept the lack of quality and quantity, resulted into another edition in the series of books. Again one may note if he doesn't found value for money , I will return Rs.250 plus Rs.120 equals Rs. 370 from my 25t+………..
Anchor (4) :- The process of nomenclature of your books (TITLE) isn't a scientific way.
Divesh Bhatt :- Gate in church gate is missing and monkeys are unavailable in BANDRA. If I do fake to improve Indian to please be right, do they obey? If I do write 'money can't be rained' did it be sell ? If not be selled how the public be read? If not be read how it is possible to conduct operation save India ? They read and obeyed but the group of robbers is continuously rumoring RP LP MP NM MP MIRROR as in the story of pigeon and DADI WALE BABA G .Be patriots, we will not face only the truth but the only god also, after the break. LOK ADALAT claims the writer to put the hard work exceeding his physical limits results into quality of the output.
EXTREME HARD WORKER
Anchor (5) :- Please tell us yours educational qualification. Are you a legal writer or a fool? What is the top model?
Divesh Bhatt :- I stood at the first position in the school in HSC , simultaneously crossing PPT ' the base qualifier of engineering' followed by AMIE (senior technician) & Bachelor of arts as well. Under permission of employer I again stood UNIVERSITY TOP in economics (gold medal). The basic qualification of lecturer UGC NET & VYPM SLET prove myself as a legal writer and this intensity of top of the model and nano LS BS4 defined the cleaver to reach the top. I have submitted my thesis on "UNICEF'' claiming child sexual exploitation as documentary photo proof but in vain due to unknown GAY concept by my woman guide . I also warned NITHARI CASE to save children with a dozen of lives but nobody believes my voice.
Anchor (6) :- please clarify the lives of children in detail ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Foolish TANTRIK of dhamtari (chattisgarh) not only claimer money rain through ROPE but its dealing in 25000/- also in cash. A group of 3 children (age between 10 y to 16 y) caused murder of a 12 year child as hanging till death followed by another three murder resulting into expansion of gang as a dozen of notorious criminals. The group couldn't understood that nobody is the purchaser and all are rumors but the district pulish fired 302, 304 IPC and put the murderers behind the wall of bastar jail as published in news papers. In the endless chain of crime , if I was able to approach them - could save the direct lives of a dozen of children including Jail visitors.
Anchor (7) :- You yourself drunk MCDOWELL 8 PM to indults followed by NANO visit to samples with mutton of 12 number ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Public servants and bureaucrats are habitual of corruption in the memories of MAHATMA GANDHI or PM, CM, BM etc. The legal advisor V N Gadgil of our only lady PM ex. Indira Gandhi carried Ten Million Well Scheme including Pond and Lake with surprising of pouring the same within the season to run the system of employment. Actually speaking the policy was a Nobel but it was either underestimated or leaked in bearcats, thus the whole on papers only. In the same context DKBRY for urban and DRY for rural people aims to save India by manufacturing duplicate articles saving India by foreigners and Englishmen. Under these activities the earning of 5000/ from Bablu Sahu owner of max 100 mc invested to survey of the Indian destroyers proved profitable once but whom are the beneficiaries of TATA INDICA journey by train by andhra doctors proceeding a theft of a dozen of rice and clove grains from the merchandiser shop ? They are again the victims of ZHADI (377) and the heaven visits results into whom luxury, unbelievable none.
Anchor (8) :- And how do you do take biscuits in BOLERO ?
Divesh Bhatt :- When I faced interview to the group of non adult defaulters in Dip Money , they planned to purchased Mahindra Bolero within 48 working hours eg. at Thursday , resulting into escape of myself by begging over the amount HARI PATTI in a few minutes for breakfast. By the way I ran naked without mirror and the left underwear, original and genuine are ready for auction and GANJA smugglers are invited with Scorpio . If the burglars are successful in their goal, they do purchase Xylo E 8 , is a myth. Please find a list of biscuit vehicles for n.a.
COMMERCIAL VEHICLES PERSONAL VEHICLES
alfa bolero
gio reva
navistar scorpio
maxicab thar
genio verito
maximo actyon
tourister chairman
korando,kyron, rexton, rodius, xuv 500 and ZLX m2dicor hybrid
It is clear that I am the most cleaver Indian of Mahindra. So it is advised either to take gold biscuits or to take PAN (iku) in commander without crown brake but lastly if to eat PARLE - BOLERO is the best.
Anchor (9) :- You are requested to kindly summarize the survey instead of a long memorandum.
Divesh Bhatt :- Out of a list of 12500 mobile numbers with name and address I do insure that all are defaulters excluding bajrang.
Anchor (10) :- Hellow. this guy is BAJRANG Baghel, the god ?
Bajrang :- This is the fact of a lakh of people surveyed by the officer and abstracted me the only honor in the world but one may note that his follower late Anand Rajak - Mechanic of double mileage without touching engine was quite faithful. Another close of him advocate K N Singh did not defeat any case since his practice.
Anchor (11) :- Singh Saheb is unavailable but please tell us the way of regular success of the lawyer.
Divesh Bhatt :- Each person in business is blind if horse friends gross what should he eat ? I am the advisor cum translator of Singh Saheb , who is the employer of a dozen of juniors and servants. This lawyer is an applicator of internet in excess and has hundreds of law books. At first he takes case study followed by seniors advise including Bilaspur and Supreme Court lawers . He owns Suzuki car and motorcycle , gift by father in law and Hero honda with my Nano provides convenience in approaching the fact . He also get facility of a samsung Laptop with samsung ac chamber and most of his note sheet are either prepared by me or approved by me. Thus all the decisions are in favor of him is the secret of success but he takes the whole 100% fees in advance and there is no chance of return of the fees due to win. Now some victims claim defaulter or non ownest but he is WAKIL No. 1 .
Do not miss BABA G KE PRAVACHAN but after the break.
Writer claimed time mismanagement!
Anchor (12) :- You take a sleep at am , wake up 10 am. As you get up your mobile gets nonstop 12 + h working .
Divesh Bhatt :- This is true that I do get wake lately. This is the reason that my time of call is 9 to 12 pm. The all over India helpline numbers for disadvantaged persons are 09425636422 + 09926395795 . These numbers are found in my letter pad, name plate, official seal and also on internet facebook.com .These numbers are also running in the script of the interview . I have volunteer helpers in survey and driver + Helper + meson are already available in my doorstep. I tried my best even door to door service of all the readers but a little knowledge is quite dangerous as in story of ABHIMANYU. Therefore I stay on mobile up to battery low of the caller and my numbers are always busy at the moment. I have a secret Vodaphone number for personal use . We may put place a strict order to take permission of myself before entering into coin business.
Anchor (13) :- And what is the endless conclusion ? eg describe India in your dream ?
Divesh Bhatt :- There is a group of mobile robbers to eat 17000 to 83000 per customer as an advance for finance . They assure a laptop worth Rs 6999, so does D K Bhatt is a half mind to purchase the same for Rs 15000. The group even claims a solution of any kind of problem including home conflict, satta, gadadhan and charging of a coin. They use E mail id, HDFC cheque and all the modern facilities of E LOOT. Three numbers of live dead bodies in Geedam city of Chattisgarh, UP formulae (gold) of tractor specialist, Manoj Dammur Rs.2500, 1360 in magnet and the parrarel robbery directed me to write in deep. The most honest person in india (bhagwan g) says the dozen of Jwellers in the capital of chattisgarh may escape before diwali.
Anchor (14) :- You were charged of negligence in public work by your sub divisional officer in 2002. A mad officer committed suicide and an SDO became made. What is this drama? You get a handsome salary of 25 t per month and a F type big bungalow. Why do you commit negligence in work ?
Divesh Bhatt :- During process of universal proof of hypotheses required police verification for passport. At the moment commissioner of police, city, Hoshangabad kept me under custody for 72 + hours . This was the reason for me absence from work for a week resulted into such explanation in the chess with burglar contractors claims the limited mind of Indians. If an officer becomes mad after firing a notice to me or anybody tries to eat food allotted to ZINDA GANDHI and commits suicide, it is the disturbance of the system. If a time keeper drives his cycle on rail track or walks on platform with half mind SDO or a vegetable seller hides himself behind the Piggeo auto (gifted by me), all are consequence of the system. It is interesting to note that dog are not familiar of the reverse gear in vehicles. They have seen all the vehicles in forward running only and the practice of barking has got by them in nature. The writer is habitual of throwing dogs in reverse. He has 15 years experience for such activities but in regard of guru DRONE it is to note that the children of 19 th century listened story of milkman and monkey, tortoise and rabbit, dear and camel etc. but now a days in 21st century instead of computer and technology, they are getting a practical training of window, magnet, surgery and forgery. Who is the DONGRE? Who is the mastermind of Indian slave? Who told the necessarily of hippopotamus in 50 paisa? Who told to write SATYAMEV JAYTE in one rupee of 1970? Again it is impossible to detect the mastermind of fake currency or the different techniques of testing currency eg tv, bulb, tube light. Vasco d gama and Englishmen were partially success in getting India slave but in 2 h years. Thus the only purpose of my deep research is to identify problem among villagers and an investment of 25 t per month from last decade concludes each page of my book to replace RAMAYAN, MAHABHARAT, BIBLE,KURAN, GEETA and it is a historical miracle to include in each library .
Anchor (15) :- What is the time management ?
Divesh Bhatt :- 18+ h working with 100% efficiency is time management.
Charges are continuing on shri Bhatt and it isn’t possible to clear them by him.
LOK ADALAT charges D K Bhatt as corrupted GUNDA.
Anchor (16) :- We have listen that you diet is more than double of a normal person . Still you are hungry, why ?
Divesh Bhatt :- Before entering into government job, I was PAPPU PAHALWAN in Vijay Health Club, Hoshangabad (MP). Afterword diet remained high & old looking body is the sign of increasing knowledge. Sachin Tendulkar made century of centuries but still hunger of runs, in the same way I do collect knowledge.
Anchor (17) :- This means you drink a lot !
Divesh Bhatt :- I haven't drunk in my entire life. I also am not interested in hunger sex.
Anchor (18) :- you are unmarried, supposed to be un believable .
Divesh Bhatt :- I am ready to listen defaulter, not faitfull, runner, eater, cheater, mad, nonsence etc. . It is again to notice that the delay in marriage due to family reasons and BABAg are identical nomenclatures.
Anchor (19) :- What is this babababa ?
Divesh Bhatt :- clearks are domicile of India since British rule. Baba are found on footpath near stations having readymade hairs on face. These baba were getting business of Dharma but they caught forgery of double money. Now these baba's are reburying babu's on 1 st day of month through mediator of engineer causing long term loss of faith of a man on baba&babu.
Anchor (20) :- You have given 5t, 5t, 12t, 11t corruption for Phd, passport, foreign journey, probation, govt. bunglaw . you invested 85h + 24h +125000 in bottle, 8500/ in PATTA, 70+80 h in neel chemical, 20t + nano in Rs. 10. You found 6t selling cost of 13t purchase value cddeshmukh cross five 3 dear. In this 6t you paid 3t to icici firozabad for further business and for rest 3 t please define Dadar, Bhaikhala, Chinchpokli, Dahisar and Biowar bus stand
Divesh Bhatt :- As I told there are two alternates of work, either zero or you know. I do hereby declare that in 11 year's engineer job, i did not get even rs 10 as corruption. I didn't earn any money even rs 5 in my job and all my quality works were in absence of donation. One may check measurement book number 119&120 for that with notepad of 3500/ given by contractor to me not as a part of corruption but a compensation of china mobile purchased in delhi worth Rs 8500/. This contractor Pande (G must) illustrates American method of CSR + incentive but in vain due to the reason that he lectures in drunk and he also suggested to mix lime stone with a little amount of Gypsum to make alternate cement and to make civil construction under low cost with high quality.
Now one may listen that this 3 L turnover may expended into 10 L cash of my salary and nearly half amount of earning in selling these items. This total exceeds 15 Lakh rupees and these are dipped investment to save India .
These names are listened as of some railway stations, where I found three new comer of coin business, in which one was LAMBU and another was TINGU. They told me to visit internet to see 9 inches rice pulling bowl , dealing in 1 t crore, token to be taken 10 crore before saturday . I told RP to hota hi nahi he, C to hota hi nahi he, Gorakhpur is 3 days running by train, today is monday .............! Lambu g said aero plane takes on 6 hours, payment is to be collected by check.................! now Tingu G supposed me a ZANDU.
In the same way I went AJMER the makkamadina of india for the endless reverse to purchase 2 piece of 3 dear cross 5 in 15900+16700+22000 expenses . In that currency one of the dear was sitting was the nonsense reason. Any way two old persons aged 65-70 year in which one was Bengali, whose friendship was of 65 years, lived in biover nearly 70 km from ajmer , called me to come. As I reached the city , they said we have purchased 12 books from munna kabadi. All contained mobile number of the writer, we miss called to all . 6 reached to my foot since morning, two are on railway station and two are on bus stand. One will come by aero plane and you came 2 hours late . It is our pleasure to take you from SBI chowk. Now excluding unnecessary lectures, I have seen hundreds of DADAR styled currency, they told one rupee note signed by RA NA Malhotra may sell one piece in Rs ZERO, two piece in Rs ZERO three piece in Rs ZERO, four piece in Rs 5 LAT cash but they forget that the PARTY doesn't exists. Sex specialists call of Illahabad (UP) for magnet, doctor's call for the HAJMOLA powder pulling rice upto 9 inches last week, two mouth snake of Bulandshahar, extensive field work and continuous research with nonstop working made me the only authorized person to make a helpline but I am again confused to find the quantity of coin mind in a general villager. Robbery in magnet coin beside the lake by an engineer who himself constructed that pound, leaving coconut shop business for Rs 10 two peacock, missed call from indult to purchase the same and adiwasi loot confused me , who is MAYA . My continuous faller confused that mayawati isn't CM, she is found in ganga river but she is not a money as Laxmi bai found in Jhansi cantt. in Rs. hari patti.
Anchor (21) :- You have beaten three number of policemen in thana of Thane, one advocate in district court, two doctors in hospitals, two villagers in street and also your officers in office. This weekly recovery claims you criminal of Ipc 294
Divesh Bhatt :- As you know that I was a manager and manufacturer cum seller of cooler and Jalpari motor before government engineer but the lease of rest finaced named week by fools. The policemen beated me and eated my nose as of Indira Gandhi , I felt 20 on those 19. Doctors enjoyed the dream of my kidni selling. This 16 years old LLB student dreamed and calculated the profit of child selling in camel race in arabs and the villagers were domicile of maya state UP. Now please note I will beat a computer salesman in shop, a vegetable seller in auto, defaulter factory managers in their residence cum bottle manufacturing units . India is a ball, rolling out of track, save otherwise it will fall. I do affraid of 25 type policemen, 50 type TI and 5 - 10 sp-dsp since protection is another matter anyway.
Anchor (22) :- You broke lock of your office and of LIG 07, H 18, G2, G35, F2 and also define MIG II 36, HIG 378, 11 no. makan and lift wala bunglaw .
Divesh Bhatt :- I was only a mediator in entering into new office building as per the verbal order of the district collector. LIG 07 is a temple of coin businessmen, H18 is a picnic spot for a story of a pair of hours, G2 is a residence of 2500/ defaulter, G35 was double locked instead of breaking as of G38 and lastly F2 is the only compensation of the collector to host the reader and followers and also a centre of group eating. MIG36 & 11 no makan are made by SADA and 378 is a rental owned bungalow. Lift Wala Bunglow behind collector bungalow is a joint venture dream of myself with advocate K N Singh , who constructed a new constitution in which he explains IPC 448.
Today it is again charged to Divesh Bhatt that he speaks a lot but in vain.
Anchor (23) :- You commit COW..................

HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.

GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.

GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

This ancient art still finds expression in the modern items like cufflinks, nameplates and more. Typical bidri items include plates, bowls, vases, ashtrays, trinket boxes, huqqa bases and jewellery.
- Kaghzipura: A place situated near Daulatabad made first handmade paper in India after the technology was brought here by Mongol invaders. Interestingly this paper has been used to print the Quran.

Farzi is one restaurant I have wanted to be at the most but it, ironically, has taken me the longest. The reasons for this happening were plenty but I finally made it to Farzi last week and there was a sense of excitement and relief in equal measure.
The place is funky, chic and bohemian but I would not want to delve on it any more as it takes my focus away from what makes Farzi the best new restaurant in town - food and drinks.
Many people label the food here as molecular gastronomy but I think its akin to calling all Indian food "curry"; it strips away from the complexity of what's on your plate. Farzi is multi sensory cooking (as Blumenthal says); you don't just eat with your tongue but your eyes and other senses. Yes, there are elements of molecular gastronomy involved but (as my review ahead will tell) it is more a take on taking classic combinations or flavours and twisting them around.
Anyway, gyaan aside, our evening began with a mishti doi lollipop. Molecular gastronomy, spherification to be precise, was visible here. As soon as you bite into it though, you get that fabulous sweet and tart hit of mishti doi. Even though it was presented in such a fancy way, it tasted amazing and authentic.
Next came a drink called Apple Foamtini - a take on the classic apple martini, this had a light frothy apple flavoured foam and then a tart, cold hit of the great martini. Brilliant combination and a great drink this.
Next on the menu was a mini raj kachori with okra and chutney foam. Yeah, raj kachori with crisp okra and a chutney foam!! - mind blown. The kachori was stuffed with dahi, green chutney and the works but guess what, it was completely closed. After this piece of sorcery, when I tasted the kachori it was as good as any Delhi- 6 outlet. The chutney foam gave the "saunth kick" but it was way lighter. The crisp okra was great and I was told that the idea behind okra was that it goes well with yoghurt.
This, I believe, is the spirit of Farzi. The moment you bite into the food (or sip a drink) it feels familiar and utterly delectable. Also, every element has a reason to be there, not just to be fancy.
Next came a light, refreshing orange-vanilla drink called Farzi OK. Balanced, sweet and sour with a very light flavour of kaffir lime, this is what you will want to drink all evening.
Next came a portion of chilli pork ribs. Very well cooked ribs with a slathering of luscious chilli sauce. Wonderful.
I moved onto one of the many superstars on the menu (tapas menu), sarson ke gilawat with corn and cheese tostadas. Sarson ka saag becomes a FANTASTIC sarson gilawat kebab here. The makki di roti takes the form of corn (makki) popcorn. Corn and cheese tostadas provide warmth and there are even elements of safed makhan, sirka and pyaaz in this. You will fall in love.
The gastronomic adventure took me to my favourite dish amongst the pantheon of dishes - tenderloin pathar ke kabab with walnut and wasabi chutney. I'd say if you like meat, have this dish. If you do not like meat, have this dish. Dammit, if you are vegetarian - have this dish!!!! - it is that good.
In between we had a palette cleanser- rose water and coconut payasam foam with rose petal dust before the prawn tempura with nimbu chutney foam arrived. I have never had better prawn tempura in my life, period. I have to write a bigger review on this alone but lets leave that for now.
I had the braised lamb chops next along with cheeni ka paratha with duck liver maska. Cheeni ka paratha was farzified with a foie gras butter and all I could think of was why mom never served such delicious "cheeni ka parathas" when I was younger.
I had the chilli duck samosas, pulled pork bun and the galouti burger next. I am running out of space to write about how brilliant each dish was. The samosa was halwai khasta; the duck was flavourful and the sweet plum sauce brought the entire dish together.
Similarly, the pulled pork bun was So Goan yet so Farzi. There was flavour from the pork; the buns gave it airiness and the Goan puffed rice gave it crunch. *drool*
The gilawat burger came in a box and the soft and magnificent galouti was given a bit of bite by a layer of boti kebab. You have to admire the thought process.
The Mutton Irachi pepper fry came along with a malabari paratha and was sublime but the icing on the cake was the gucchi pulao risotto. Perfectly creamy risotto with morsels of expensive gucchi topped with a salty parmesan crisp. You have to taste it to understand how brilliantly flavours work together.
The CTM or chicken tikka masala came in a London telephone booth, what a cheeky idea. I will say that the "national dish" of Britain tasted way better at Farzi.
There are three special drinks I will recommend. The flaming Farzi tower was an event on its own – flambéed shots (Baileys, Sambucca, Vodka, Kahlua and Absinthe) caramelizes and forms a drink at the bottom. The red wine spaghetti shots were great too – acidic and sweet and it was a vision as well. Finally, there was the B-52 bomber that was basically B-52 shooters, spherified, so in effect you eat the shot!
Yes I had a tiny speck left in my stomach to try desserts and the best two came. The Parle G cheesecake is the most photographed Farzi dessert on the web and it tasted as good as it looked. My question before tasting it was if the Parle G would really work with a creamy cheesecake and voila, it does. It lends the dish crunch and saltiness - splendid.
The other dessert - rasmali tres leches was even better. First of all you need to admire it as it sits on your table - it’s that pretty. Then you start eating it to try and understand how brilliant the flavours are. The sponge is three layered filled with carrot cream bathing in "rasmalai" milk. If this dish does not Farzify you, I don’t know what will.
The evening ended with a final flourish - gujiya shaped, pan flavoured cotton candy!! The pan was dehydrated and it gave a delightful punch. You know how it tasted but it also brought a tinge of nostalgia with it. Farzi is all about that - senses, flavours and a little bit of magic.
Lastly, we do not just have to applaud Zorawar, Chef Saurabh and the entire team behind Farzi but give them a very loud, "Dilliwala" wolf whistle for bringing Farzi to us.
#Farzified forever.
XOXO

Aurangabad (About this sound pronunciation (help·info) Marathi: औरंगाबाद Urdu:اورنگ آباد) is a city in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state in India. Aurangabad ("Aurang City") is named after the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The city is a tourism hub, surrounded by many historical monuments, including the Ajanta Caves and Ellora Caves, which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as well as Bibi Ka Maqbara. The administrative headquarters of the Aurangabad Division or Marathwada region, Aurangabad is titled "The City of Gates" and the strong presence of these can be felt as one drives through the city. Aurangabad is Tourism Capital of Maharashtra.
HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.
Climate Classification: Aurangabad features a semiarid climate under the Köppen climate classification.
Temperature: Annual mean temperatures in Aurangabad range from 17 to 33 °C, with the most comfortable time to visit in the winter - October to February. The highest maximum temperature ever recorded was 46 °C on 25 May 1905. The lowest recorded temperature was 2 °C on 2 February 1911. In the cold season, the district is sometimes affected by cold waves in association with the eastward passage of western disturbances across north India, when the minimum temperature may drop down to about 2 °C to 4 °C.
Rainfall: Most of the rainfall occurs in the monsoon season from June to September.Thunderstorms occur between November to April. Average annual rainfall is 710 mm.The city is often cloudy during the monsoon season and the cloud cover may remain together days. The daily maximum temperature in the city often drops to around 22 °C due to the cloud cover and heavy rains.
GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

Its influence is reflected in the language and cuisine of the locals. Although Marathi and Urdu are the principal languages of the city, they are spoken in Dakhni – Hyderabadi Urdu dialect.
Wali Dakhni also known as Wali Aurangabadi (1667–1731 or 1743) was a classical poet of Urdu from Aurangabad. He was the first established poet to have composed in Urdu language. Prominent poets like Shah Hatem, Shah Abro, Mir Taqi Mir, Zauq and Sauda were among his admirers. Other prominent poets from Aurangabad include Siraj Aurangabadi, Azad Bilgrami and Sikandar Ali Wajd.

CUISINE
Aurangabadi food is much like Mughlai or Hyderabadi cuisine with its fragrant pulao and Biryani. Meat cooked in fresh spices and herbs is a speciality, as are the delectable sweets. The local cuisine is a blend of Mughlai and Hyderabadi cuisine, with an influence of the spices and herbs of the Marathwada region. Naan Qalia is a dish that is associated with Aurangabad in India. It is a concoction of mutton and a variety of spices. Naan is the bread made in tandoor (Hot furnace) while Qalia is a mixture of mutton and various spices.
The dish originated in the army camp of Muhammad bin Tughlaq when he shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad in the year 1327. Later the dish was used in the army camps of the Mughals who had their base in and around Daulatabad and Aurangabad in the deccan. Soldiers and camp followers settled in Aurangabad patronised the dish and the tradition continues to this day.
Tahri or Tahari is similar to pulao–Biryani and is very popular in Aurangabad and Marathwada. Tahri is prepared by adding the meat to the rice, as opposed to traditional Biryani where the rice is added to the meat.
Aurangabad / Marathwada / Dakhni cuisine is a blend of the Puneri and the Hyderabadi cuisine (which beautifully blends the use of typical South Indian ingredients such as curry leaves, tamarind and coconut into their celebrated culinary practices).

- Himroo: The fabric is said to have originated in Persia, though not conclusively proved, Himroo is associated with the times of Mohammad Tughlaq who ruled in the 14th century. When Mohammad Tughlaq shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad many weavers came and settled here. During the exodus the weavers instead of returning to Delhi stayed back here. During the reign of Malik Ambar, the city's fame attracted many people from far and wide. During the Mughal rule under Aurangzeb's governorship, Auarangabad the capital and the weavers became more prosperous. The only industry in Aurangabad allured hundreds of craftsman.

Farzi is one restaurant I have wanted to be at the most but it, ironically, has taken me the longest. The reasons for this happening were plenty but I finally made it to Farzi last week and there was a sense of excitement and relief in equal measure.
The place is funky, chic and bohemian but I would not want to delve on it any more as it takes my focus away from what makes Farzi the best new restaurant in town - food and drinks.
Many people label the food here as molecular gastronomy but I think its akin to calling all Indian food "curry"; it strips away from the complexity of what's on your plate. Farzi is multi sensory cooking (as Blumenthal says); you don't just eat with your tongue but your eyes and other senses. Yes, there are elements of molecular gastronomy involved but (as my review ahead will tell) it is more a take on taking classic combinations or flavours and twisting them around.
Anyway, gyaan aside, our evening began with a mishti doi lollipop. Molecular gastronomy, spherification to be precise, was visible here. As soon as you bite into it though, you get that fabulous sweet and tart hit of mishti doi. Even though it was presented in such a fancy way, it tasted amazing and authentic.
Next came a drink called Apple Foamtini - a take on the classic apple martini, this had a light frothy apple flavoured foam and then a tart, cold hit of the great martini. Brilliant combination and a great drink this.
Next on the menu was a mini raj kachori with okra and chutney foam. Yeah, raj kachori with crisp okra and a chutney foam!! - mind blown. The kachori was stuffed with dahi, green chutney and the works but guess what, it was completely closed. After this piece of sorcery, when I tasted the kachori it was as good as any Delhi- 6 outlet. The chutney foam gave the "saunth kick" but it was way lighter. The crisp okra was great and I was told that the idea behind okra was that it goes well with yoghurt.
This, I believe, is the spirit of Farzi. The moment you bite into the food (or sip a drink) it feels familiar and utterly delectable. Also, every element has a reason to be there, not just to be fancy.
Next came a light, refreshing orange-vanilla drink called Farzi OK. Balanced, sweet and sour with a very light flavour of kaffir lime, this is what you will want to drink all evening.
Next came a portion of chilli pork ribs. Very well cooked ribs with a slathering of luscious chilli sauce. Wonderful.
I moved onto one of the many superstars on the menu (tapas menu), sarson ke gilawat with corn and cheese tostadas. Sarson ka saag becomes a FANTASTIC sarson gilawat kebab here. The makki di roti takes the form of corn (makki) popcorn. Corn and cheese tostadas provide warmth and there are even elements of safed makhan, sirka and pyaaz in this. You will fall in love.
The gastronomic adventure took me to my favourite dish amongst the pantheon of dishes - tenderloin pathar ke kabab with walnut and wasabi chutney. I'd say if you like meat, have this dish. If you do not like meat, have this dish. Dammit, if you are vegetarian - have this dish!!!! - it is that good.
In between we had a palette cleanser- rose water and coconut payasam foam with rose petal dust before the prawn tempura with nimbu chutney foam arrived. I have never had better prawn tempura in my life, period. I have to write a bigger review on this alone but lets leave that for now.
I had the braised lamb chops next along with cheeni ka paratha with duck liver maska. Cheeni ka paratha was farzified with a foie gras butter and all I could think of was why mom never served such delicious "cheeni ka parathas" when I was younger.
I had the chilli duck samosas, pulled pork bun and the galouti burger next. I am running out of space to write about how brilliant each dish was. The samosa was halwai khasta; the duck was flavourful and the sweet plum sauce brought the entire dish together.
Similarly, the pulled pork bun was So Goan yet so Farzi. There was flavour from the pork; the buns gave it airiness and the Goan puffed rice gave it crunch. *drool*
The gilawat burger came in a box and the soft and magnificent galouti was given a bit of bite by a layer of boti kebab. You have to admire the thought process.
The Mutton Irachi pepper fry came along with a malabari paratha and was sublime but the icing on the cake was the gucchi pulao risotto. Perfectly creamy risotto with morsels of expensive gucchi topped with a salty parmesan crisp. You have to taste it to understand how brilliantly flavours work together.
The CTM or chicken tikka masala came in a London telephone booth, what a cheeky idea. I will say that the "national dish" of Britain tasted way better at Farzi.
There are three special drinks I will recommend. The flaming Farzi tower was an event on its own – flambéed shots (Baileys, Sambucca, Vodka, Kahlua and Absinthe) caramelizes and forms a drink at the bottom. The red wine spaghetti shots were great too – acidic and sweet and it was a vision as well. Finally, there was the B-52 bomber that was basically B-52 shooters, spherified, so in effect you eat the shot!
Yes I had a tiny speck left in my stomach to try desserts and the best two came. The Parle G cheesecake is the most photographed Farzi dessert on the web and it tasted as good as it looked. My question before tasting it was if the Parle G would really work with a creamy cheesecake and voila, it does. It lends the dish crunch and saltiness - splendid.
The other dessert - rasmali tres leches was even better. First of all you need to admire it as it sits on your table - it’s that pretty. Then you start eating it to try and understand how brilliant the flavours are. The sponge is three layered filled with carrot cream bathing in "rasmalai" milk. If this dish does not Farzify you, I don’t know what will.
The evening ended with a final flourish - gujiya shaped, pan flavoured cotton candy!! The pan was dehydrated and it gave a delightful punch. You know how it tasted but it also brought a tinge of nostalgia with it. Farzi is all about that - senses, flavours and a little bit of magic.
Lastly, we do not just have to applaud Zorawar, Chef Saurabh and the entire team behind Farzi but give them a very loud, "Dilliwala" wolf whistle for bringing Farzi to us.
#Farzified forever.

HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.

The highest maximum temperature ever recorded was 46 °C on 25 May 1905. The lowest recorded temperature was 2 °C on 2 February 1911. In the cold season, the district is sometimes affected by cold waves in association with the eastward passage of western disturbances across north India, when the minimum temperature may drop down to about 2 °C to 4 °C.

GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

Farzi is one restaurant I have wanted to be at the most but it, ironically, has taken me the longest. The reasons for this happening were plenty but I finally made it to Farzi last week and there was a sense of excitement and relief in equal measure.
The place is funky, chic and bohemian but I would not want to delve on it any more as it takes my focus away from what makes Farzi the best new restaurant in town - food and drinks.
Many people label the food here as molecular gastronomy but I think its akin to calling all Indian food "curry"; it strips away from the complexity of what's on your plate. Farzi is multi sensory cooking (as Blumenthal says); you don't just eat with your tongue but your eyes and other senses. Yes, there are elements of molecular gastronomy involved but (as my review ahead will tell) it is more a take on taking classic combinations or flavours and twisting them around.
Anyway, gyaan aside, our evening began with a mishti doi lollipop. Molecular gastronomy, spherification to be precise, was visible here. As soon as you bite into it though, you get that fabulous sweet and tart hit of mishti doi. Even though it was presented in such a fancy way, it tasted amazing and authentic.
Next came a drink called Apple Foamtini - a take on the classic apple martini, this had a light frothy apple flavoured foam and then a tart, cold hit of the great martini. Brilliant combination and a great drink this.
Next on the menu was a mini raj kachori with okra and chutney foam. Yeah, raj kachori with crisp okra and a chutney foam!! - mind blown. The kachori was stuffed with dahi, green chutney and the works but guess what, it was completely closed. After this piece of sorcery, when I tasted the kachori it was as good as any Delhi- 6 outlet. The chutney foam gave the "saunth kick" but it was way lighter. The crisp okra was great and I was told that the idea behind okra was that it goes well with yoghurt.
This, I believe, is the spirit of Farzi. The moment you bite into the food (or sip a drink) it feels familiar and utterly delectable. Also, every element has a reason to be there, not just to be fancy.
Next came a light, refreshing orange-vanilla drink called Farzi OK. Balanced, sweet and sour with a very light flavour of kaffir lime, this is what you will want to drink all evening.
Next came a portion of chilli pork ribs. Very well cooked ribs with a slathering of luscious chilli sauce. Wonderful.
I moved onto one of the many superstars on the menu (tapas menu), sarson ke gilawat with corn and cheese tostadas. Sarson ka saag becomes a FANTASTIC sarson gilawat kebab here. The makki di roti takes the form of corn (makki) popcorn. Corn and cheese tostadas provide warmth and there are even elements of safed makhan, sirka and pyaaz in this. You will fall in love.
The gastronomic adventure took me to my favourite dish amongst the pantheon of dishes - tenderloin pathar ke kabab with walnut and wasabi chutney. I'd say if you like meat, have this dish. If you do not like meat, have this dish. Dammit, if you are vegetarian - have this dish!!!! - it is that good.
In between we had a palette cleanser- rose water and coconut payasam foam with rose petal dust before the prawn tempura with nimbu chutney foam arrived. I have never had better prawn tempura in my life, period. I have to write a bigger review on this alone but lets leave that for now.
I had the braised lamb chops next along with cheeni ka paratha with duck liver maska. Cheeni ka paratha was farzified with a foie gras butter and all I could think of was why mom never served such delicious "cheeni ka parathas" when I was younger.
I had the chilli duck samosas, pulled pork bun and the galouti burger next. I am running out of space to write about how brilliant each dish was. The samosa was halwai khasta; the duck was flavourful and the sweet plum sauce brought the entire dish together.
Similarly, the pulled pork bun was So Goan yet so Farzi. There was flavour from the pork; the buns gave it airiness and the Goan puffed rice gave it crunch. *drool*
The gilawat burger came in a box and the soft and magnificent galouti was given a bit of bite by a layer of boti kebab. You have to admire the thought process.
The Mutton Irachi pepper fry came along with a malabari paratha and was sublime but the icing on the cake was the gucchi pulao risotto. Perfectly creamy risotto with morsels of expensive gucchi topped with a salty parmesan crisp. You have to taste it to understand how brilliantly flavours work together.
The CTM or chicken tikka masala came in a London telephone booth, what a cheeky idea. I will say that the "national dish" of Britain tasted way better at Farzi.
There are three special drinks I will recommend. The flaming Farzi tower was an event on its own – flambéed shots (Baileys, Sambucca, Vodka, Kahlua and Absinthe) caramelizes and forms a drink at the bottom. The red wine spaghetti shots were great too – acidic and sweet and it was a vision as well. Finally, there was the B-52 bomber that was basically B-52 shooters, spherified, so in effect you eat the shot!
Yes I had a tiny speck left in my stomach to try desserts and the best two came. The Parle G cheesecake is the most photographed Farzi dessert on the web and it tasted as good as it looked. My question before tasting it was if the Parle G would really work with a creamy cheesecake and voila, it does. It lends the dish crunch and saltiness - splendid.
The other dessert - rasmali tres leches was even better. First of all you need to admire it as it sits on your table - it’s that pretty. Then you start eating it to try and understand how brilliant the flavours are. The sponge is three layered filled with carrot cream bathing in "rasmalai" milk. If this dish does not Farzify you, I don’t know what will.
The evening ended with a final flourish - gujiya shaped, pan flavoured cotton candy!! The pan was dehydrated and it gave a delightful punch. You know how it tasted but it also brought a tinge of nostalgia with it. Farzi is all about that - senses, flavours and a little bit of magic.
Lastly, we do not just have to applaud Zorawar, Chef Saurabh and the entire team behind Farzi but give them a very loud, "Dilliwala" wolf whistle for bringing Farzi to us.
#Farzified forever.

Aurangabad (About this sound pronunciation (help·info) Marathi: औरंगाबाद Urdu:اورنگ آباد) is a city in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state in India. Aurangabad ("Aurang City") is named after the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The city is a tourism hub, surrounded by many historical monuments, including the Ajanta Caves and Ellora Caves, which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as well as Bibi Ka Maqbara. The administrative headquarters of the Aurangabad Division or Marathwada region, Aurangabad is titled "The City of Gates" and the strong presence of these can be felt as one drives through the city. Aurangabad is Tourism Capital of Maharashtra.
HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.

The highest maximum temperature ever recorded was 46 °C on 25 May 1905. The lowest recorded temperature was 2 °C on 2 February 1911. In the cold season, the district is sometimes affected by cold waves in association with the eastward passage of western disturbances across north India, when the minimum temperature may drop down to about 2 °C to 4 °C.

Average annual rainfall is 710 mm.The city is often cloudy during the monsoon season and the cloud cover may remain together days. The daily maximum temperature in the city often drops to around 22 °C due to the cloud cover and heavy rains.
GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.

GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.

GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

Its influence is reflected in the language and cuisine of the locals. Although Marathi and Urdu are the principal languages of the city, they are spoken in Dakhni – Hyderabadi Urdu dialect.
Wali Dakhni also known as Wali Aurangabadi (1667–1731 or 1743) was a classical poet of Urdu from Aurangabad. He was the first established poet to have composed in Urdu language. Prominent poets like Shah Hatem, Shah Abro, Mir Taqi Mir, Zauq and Sauda were among his admirers. Other prominent poets from Aurangabad include Siraj Aurangabadi, Azad Bilgrami and Sikandar Ali Wajd.

CUISINE
Aurangabadi food is much like Mughlai or Hyderabadi cuisine with its fragrant pulao and Biryani. Meat cooked in fresh spices and herbs is a speciality, as are the delectable sweets. The local cuisine is a blend of Mughlai and Hyderabadi cuisine, with an influence of the spices and herbs of the Marathwada region. Naan Qalia is a dish that is associated with Aurangabad in India. It is a concoction of mutton and a variety of spices. Naan is the bread made in tandoor (Hot furnace) while Qalia is a mixture of mutton and various spices.
The dish originated in the army camp of Muhammad bin Tughlaq when he shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad in the year 1327. Later the dish was used in the army camps of the Mughals who had their base in and around Daulatabad and Aurangabad in the deccan. Soldiers and camp followers settled in Aurangabad patronised the dish and the tradition continues to this day.
Tahri or Tahari is similar to pulao–Biryani and is very popular in Aurangabad and Marathwada. Tahri is prepared by adding the meat to the rice, as opposed to traditional Biryani where the rice is added to the meat.
Aurangabad / Marathwada / Dakhni cuisine is a blend of the Puneri and the Hyderabadi cuisine (which beautifully blends the use of typical South Indian ingredients such as curry leaves, tamarind and coconut into their celebrated culinary practices).

Aurangabad is famous for Mashru and Himroo fabrics made of cotton and silk with the lustre of satin. Himru is an age-old weaving craft, and was originally known as kum khuab.
- Himroo: The fabric is said to have originated in Persia, though not conclusively proved, Himroo is associated with the times of Mohammad Tughlaq who ruled in the 14th century. When Mohammad Tughlaq shifted his capital from Delhi to Daulatabad many weavers came and settled here. During the exodus the weavers instead of returning to Delhi stayed back here. During the reign of Malik Ambar, the city's fame attracted many people from far and wide. During the Mughal rule under Aurangzeb's governorship, Auarangabad the capital and the weavers became more prosperous. The only industry in Aurangabad allured hundreds of craftsman. Members of the royal family and an elite few used the famous Aurangabad Himroo. Himroo weaving is very characteristic and distinctive. Fabrics and shawls from Aurangabad are much in demand for their unique style and design.

Farzi is one restaurant I have wanted to be at the most but it, ironically, has taken me the longest. The reasons for this happening were plenty but I finally made it to Farzi last week and there was a sense of excitement and relief in equal measure.
The place is funky, chic and bohemian but I would not want to delve on it any more as it takes my focus away from what makes Farzi the best new restaurant in town - food and drinks.
Many people label the food here as molecular gastronomy but I think its akin to calling all Indian food "curry"; it strips away from the complexity of what's on your plate. Farzi is multi sensory cooking (as Blumenthal says); you don't just eat with your tongue but your eyes and other senses. Yes, there are elements of molecular gastronomy involved but (as my review ahead will tell) it is more a take on taking classic combinations or flavours and twisting them around.
Anyway, gyaan aside, our evening began with a mishti doi lollipop. Molecular gastronomy, spherification to be precise, was visible here. As soon as you bite into it though, you get that fabulous sweet and tart hit of mishti doi. Even though it was presented in such a fancy way, it tasted amazing and authentic.
Next came a drink called Apple Foamtini - a take on the classic apple martini, this had a light frothy apple flavoured foam and then a tart, cold hit of the great martini. Brilliant combination and a great drink this.
Next on the menu was a mini raj kachori with okra and chutney foam. Yeah, raj kachori with crisp okra and a chutney foam!! - mind blown. The kachori was stuffed with dahi, green chutney and the works but guess what, it was completely closed. After this piece of sorcery, when I tasted the kachori it was as good as any Delhi- 6 outlet. The chutney foam gave the "saunth kick" but it was way lighter. The crisp okra was great and I was told that the idea behind okra was that it goes well with yoghurt.
This, I believe, is the spirit of Farzi. The moment you bite into the food (or sip a drink) it feels familiar and utterly delectable. Also, every element has a reason to be there, not just to be fancy.
Next came a light, refreshing orange-vanilla drink called Farzi OK. Balanced, sweet and sour with a very light flavour of kaffir lime, this is what you will want to drink all evening.
Next came a portion of chilli pork ribs. Very well cooked ribs with a slathering of luscious chilli sauce. Wonderful.
I moved onto one of the many superstars on the menu (tapas menu), sarson ke gilawat with corn and cheese tostadas. Sarson ka saag becomes a FANTASTIC sarson gilawat kebab here. The makki di roti takes the form of corn (makki) popcorn. Corn and cheese tostadas provide warmth and there are even elements of safed makhan, sirka and pyaaz in this. You will fall in love.
The gastronomic adventure took me to my favourite dish amongst the pantheon of dishes - tenderloin pathar ke kabab with walnut and wasabi chutney. I'd say if you like meat, have this dish. If you do not like meat, have this dish. Dammit, if you are vegetarian - have this dish!!!! - it is that good.
In between we had a palette cleanser- rose water and coconut payasam foam with rose petal dust before the prawn tempura with nimbu chutney foam arrived. I have never had better prawn tempura in my life, period. I have to write a bigger review on this alone but lets leave that for now.
I had the braised lamb chops next along with cheeni ka paratha with duck liver maska. Cheeni ka paratha was farzified with a foie gras butter and all I could think of was why mom never served such delicious "cheeni ka parathas" when I was younger.
I had the chilli duck samosas, pulled pork bun and the galouti burger next. I am running out of space to write about how brilliant each dish was. The samosa was halwai khasta; the duck was flavourful and the sweet plum sauce brought the entire dish together.
Similarly, the pulled pork bun was So Goan yet so Farzi. There was flavour from the pork; the buns gave it airiness and the Goan puffed rice gave it crunch. *drool*
The gilawat burger came in a box and the soft and magnificent galouti was given a bit of bite by a layer of boti kebab. You have to admire the thought process.
The Mutton Irachi pepper fry came along with a malabari paratha and was sublime but the icing on the cake was the gucchi pulao risotto. Perfectly creamy risotto with morsels of expensive gucchi topped with a salty parmesan crisp. You have to taste it to understand how brilliantly flavours work together.
The CTM or chicken tikka masala came in a London telephone booth, what a cheeky idea. I will say that the "national dish" of Britain tasted way better at Farzi.
There are three special drinks I will recommend. The flaming Farzi tower was an event on its own – flambéed shots (Baileys, Sambucca, Vodka, Kahlua and Absinthe) caramelizes and forms a drink at the bottom. The red wine spaghetti shots were great too – acidic and sweet and it was a vision as well. Finally, there was the B-52 bomber that was basically B-52 shooters, spherified, so in effect you eat the shot!
Yes I had a tiny speck left in my stomach to try desserts and the best two came. The Parle G cheesecake is the most photographed Farzi dessert on the web and it tasted as good as it looked. My question before tasting it was if the Parle G would really work with a creamy cheesecake and voila, it does. It lends the dish crunch and saltiness - splendid.
The other dessert - rasmali tres leches was even better. First of all you need to admire it as it sits on your table - it’s that pretty. Then you start eating it to try and understand how brilliant the flavours are. The sponge is three layered filled with carrot cream bathing in "rasmalai" milk. If this dish does not Farzify you, I don’t know what will.
The evening ended with a final flourish - gujiya shaped, pan flavoured cotton candy!! The pan was dehydrated and it gave a delightful punch. You know how it tasted but it also brought a tinge of nostalgia with it. Farzi is all about that - senses, flavours and a little bit of magic.
Lastly, we do not just have to applaud Zorawar, Chef Saurabh and the entire team behind Farzi but give them a very loud, "Dilliwala" wolf whistle for bringing Farzi to us.
#Farzified forever.

Aurangabad ("Aurang City") is named after the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The city is a tourism hub, surrounded by many historical monuments, including the Ajanta Caves and Ellora Caves, which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as well as Bibi Ka Maqbara. The administrative headquarters of the Aurangabad Division or Marathwada region, Aurangabad is titled "The City of Gates" and the strong presence of these can be felt as one drives through the city. Aurangabad is Tourism Capital of Maharashtra.
HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.
Climate Classification: Aurangabad features a semiarid climate under the Köppen climate classification.
Temperature: Annual mean temperatures in Aurangabad range from 17 to 33 °C, with the most comfortable time to visit in the winter - October to February. The highest maximum temperature ever recorded was 46 °C on 25 May 1905. The lowest recorded temperature was 2 °C on 2 February 1911. In the cold season, the district is sometimes affected by cold waves in association with the eastward passage of western disturbances across north India, when the minimum temperature may drop down to about 2 °C to 4 °C.
Rainfall: Most of the rainfall occurs in the monsoon season from June to September.Thunderstorms occur between November to April. Average annual rainfall is 710 mm.The city is often cloudy during the monsoon season and the cloud cover may remain together days. The daily maximum temperature in the city often drops to around 22 °C due to the cloud cover and heavy rains.
GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.

GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.

Basmati Rice Pulao from Maurya's Indian Cuisine. Such a beautiful dish. For more check out Eyes Bigger Than My Stomach.
Farzi is one restaurant I have wanted to be at the most but it, ironically, has taken me the longest. The reasons for this happening were plenty but I finally made it to Farzi last week and there was a sense of excitement and relief in equal measure.
The place is funky, chic and bohemian but I would not want to delve on it any more as it takes my focus away from what makes Farzi the best new restaurant in town - food and drinks.
Many people label the food here as molecular gastronomy but I think its akin to calling all Indian food "curry"; it strips away from the complexity of what's on your plate. Farzi is multi sensory cooking (as Blumenthal says); you don't just eat with your tongue but your eyes and other senses. Yes, there are elements of molecular gastronomy involved but (as my review ahead will tell) it is more a take on taking classic combinations or flavours and twisting them around.
Anyway, gyaan aside, our evening began with a mishti doi lollipop. Molecular gastronomy, spherification to be precise, was visible here. As soon as you bite into it though, you get that fabulous sweet and tart hit of mishti doi. Even though it was presented in such a fancy way, it tasted amazing and authentic.
Next came a drink called Apple Foamtini - a take on the classic apple martini, this had a light frothy apple flavoured foam and then a tart, cold hit of the great martini. Brilliant combination and a great drink this.
Next on the menu was a mini raj kachori with okra and chutney foam. Yeah, raj kachori with crisp okra and a chutney foam!! - mind blown. The kachori was stuffed with dahi, green chutney and the works but guess what, it was completely closed. After this piece of sorcery, when I tasted the kachori it was as good as any Delhi- 6 outlet. The chutney foam gave the "saunth kick" but it was way lighter. The crisp okra was great and I was told that the idea behind okra was that it goes well with yoghurt.
This, I believe, is the spirit of Farzi. The moment you bite into the food (or sip a drink) it feels familiar and utterly delectable. Also, every element has a reason to be there, not just to be fancy.
Next came a light, refreshing orange-vanilla drink called Farzi OK. Balanced, sweet and sour with a very light flavour of kaffir lime, this is what you will want to drink all evening.
Next came a portion of chilli pork ribs. Very well cooked ribs with a slathering of luscious chilli sauce. Wonderful.
I moved onto one of the many superstars on the menu (tapas menu), sarson ke gilawat with corn and cheese tostadas. Sarson ka saag becomes a FANTASTIC sarson gilawat kebab here. The makki di roti takes the form of corn (makki) popcorn. Corn and cheese tostadas provide warmth and there are even elements of safed makhan, sirka and pyaaz in this. You will fall in love.
The gastronomic adventure took me to my favourite dish amongst the pantheon of dishes - tenderloin pathar ke kabab with walnut and wasabi chutney. I'd say if you like meat, have this dish. If you do not like meat, have this dish. Dammit, if you are vegetarian - have this dish!!!! - it is that good.
In between we had a palette cleanser- rose water and coconut payasam foam with rose petal dust before the prawn tempura with nimbu chutney foam arrived. I have never had better prawn tempura in my life, period. I have to write a bigger review on this alone but lets leave that for now.
I had the braised lamb chops next along with cheeni ka paratha with duck liver maska. Cheeni ka paratha was farzified with a foie gras butter and all I could think of was why mom never served such delicious "cheeni ka parathas" when I was younger.
I had the chilli duck samosas, pulled pork bun and the galouti burger next. I am running out of space to write about how brilliant each dish was. The samosa was halwai khasta; the duck was flavourful and the sweet plum sauce brought the entire dish together.
Similarly, the pulled pork bun was So Goan yet so Farzi. There was flavour from the pork; the buns gave it airiness and the Goan puffed rice gave it crunch. *drool*
The gilawat burger came in a box and the soft and magnificent galouti was given a bit of bite by a layer of boti kebab. You have to admire the thought process.
The Mutton Irachi pepper fry came along with a malabari paratha and was sublime but the icing on the cake was the gucchi pulao risotto. Perfectly creamy risotto with morsels of expensive gucchi topped with a salty parmesan crisp. You have to taste it to understand how brilliantly flavours work together.
The CTM or chicken tikka masala came in a London telephone booth, what a cheeky idea. I will say that the "national dish" of Britain tasted way better at Farzi.
There are three special drinks I will recommend. The flaming Farzi tower was an event on its own – flambéed shots (Baileys, Sambucca, Vodka, Kahlua and Absinthe) caramelizes and forms a drink at the bottom. The red wine spaghetti shots were great too – acidic and sweet and it was a vision as well. Finally, there was the B-52 bomber that was basically B-52 shooters, spherified, so in effect you eat the shot!
Yes I had a tiny speck left in my stomach to try desserts and the best two came. The Parle G cheesecake is the most photographed Farzi dessert on the web and it tasted as good as it looked. My question before tasting it was if the Parle G would really work with a creamy cheesecake and voila, it does. It lends the dish crunch and saltiness - splendid.
The other dessert - rasmali tres leches was even better. First of all you need to admire it as it sits on your table - it’s that pretty. Then you start eating it to try and understand how brilliant the flavours are. The sponge is three layered filled with carrot cream bathing in "rasmalai" milk. If this dish does not Farzify you, I don’t know what will.
The evening ended with a final flourish - gujiya shaped, pan flavoured cotton candy!! The pan was dehydrated and it gave a delightful punch. You know how it tasted but it also brought a tinge of nostalgia with it. Farzi is all about that - senses, flavours and a little bit of magic.
Lastly, we do not just have to applaud Zorawar, Chef Saurabh and the entire team behind Farzi but give them a very loud, "Dilliwala" wolf whistle for bringing Farzi to us.
#Farzified forever.

Aurangabad (About this sound pronunciation (help·info) Marathi: औरंगाबाद Urdu:اورنگ آباد) is a city in the Aurangabad district of Maharashtra state in India. Aurangabad ("Aurang City") is named after the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. The city is a tourism hub, surrounded by many historical monuments, including the Ajanta Caves and Ellora Caves, which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites, as well as Bibi Ka Maqbara. The administrative headquarters of the Aurangabad Division or Marathwada region, Aurangabad is titled "The City of Gates" and the strong presence of these can be felt as one drives through the city. Aurangabad is Tourism Capital of Maharashtra.
HISTORY
Khadki was the original name of the village which was made a capital city by Malik Ambar, the Prime Minister of Murtaza Nizam, Shah of Ahmadnagar. Within a decade, Khadki grew into a populous and imposing city. Malik Ambar died in 1626. He was succeeded by his son Fateh Khan, who changed the name of Khadki to Fatehnagar. With the capture of Daulatabad by the imperial troops in 1633, the Nizam Shahi dominions, including Fatehnagar, came under the possession of the Moghals.
In 1653 when Mughal prince Aurangzeb was appointed the viceroy of the Deccan for the second time, he made Fatehnagar his capital and renamed it Aurangabad. Aurangabad is sometimes referred to as Khujista Bunyad by the Chroniclers of Aurangzeb's reign.
In 1724, Asif Jah, a Turkic general and Nizam al-Mulk of the Mughals in the Deccan region, decided to secede from the crumbling Mughal Empire, with the intention of founding his own dynasty in the Deccan and decided to make Aurangabad his capital. His son and successor, Nizam Ali Khan Asaf Jah II transferred his capital from Aurangabad to Hyderabad in 1763. In 1795, the city came under the Maratha rule, following the Maratha victory in the Battle of Kharda, along with an indemnity of 30 million rupees paid by Ali Khan Asaf Jah II, Nizam of Hyderabad to the Marathas. However, Maratha rule lasted only eight years before the city came under the rule of the Nizam of Hyderabad, under the protection of the British East India Company, following the British victory in the Second Anglo-Maratha War. During the period of the British Raj, the city was known as Aurungábád.
Aurangabad was a part of the Princely State of Hyderabad during the British Raj, until its annexation into the Indian Union after the Indian Independence in 1947, and thereafter a part of Hyderabad state of India until 1956. In 1956 it became a part of newly formed bilingual Bombay state and in 1960 it became a part of Maharashtra state.
The co-ordinates for Aurangabad are N 19° 53' 47" – E 75° 23' 54". The city is surrounded by hills on all directions.

The highest maximum temperature ever recorded was 46 °C on 25 May 1905. The lowest recorded temperature was 2 °C on 2 February 1911. In the cold season, the district is sometimes affected by cold waves in association with the eastward passage of western disturbances across north India, when the minimum temperature may drop down to about 2 °C to 4 °C.

GEOLOGY
The entire area is covered by the Deccan Traps lava flows of Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene age. The lava flows are overlain by thin alluvial deposits along the Kham and Sukhana river. The basaltic lava flows belonging to the Deccan Trap is the only major geological formation occurring in Aurangabad. The lava flows are horizontal and each flow has two distinct units. The upper layers consist of vesiculara and amygdaloidal zeolitic basalt while the bottom layer consists of massive basalt.The lava flows are individually different in their ability to receive as well as hold water in storage and to transmit it. The difference in the productivity of groundwater in various flows arises as a result of their inherent physical properties such as porosity and permeability. The groundwater occurs under water table conditions and is mainly controlled by the extent of its secondary porosity i.e. thickness of weathered rocks and spacing of joints and fractures. The highly weathered vesicular trap and underlying weathered jointed and fractured massive trap constitutes the main water yielding zones. The soil is mostly formed from igneous rocks and are black, medium black, shallow and calcareous types having different depths and profiles.
