ANGEL RANGERS GLOBAL SCHOOL OF PERFORMING ARTS: October 2011

The festival of lights, Diwali is just round the corner, this is India’s most celebrated and oldest event. There are many stories about Diwali, but the cause to celebrate is the same. The making of sweetmeats, shopping hits the list, and of course the art of gifting that is sharing whatever we have with all our family members and close friends. Most even offer some charity to orphanages, old age homes and institutes for good causes.

This time as the costs of living has hit every family has not affected the spirit of Diwali, because the Angel Rangers, who are into harmonizing their communities where ever they go are now conducting, “The Fine Art Of Chocolatiering.” We at www.a2opr.com have creatively designed our HAPPY ECO DIWALI FOR ONE RUPEE ONLY, a mind full of wisdom, a soul full of happiness, a body full of health and a pocket full of money. These are community based programs where viral marketing works the best, each one tell one and so the commercial value of the product is all about getting people together, to learn to love their neighbors as they love themselves.

This is a special workshop aiming to bring people together who have a passion for sweet tooth. Everybody loves chocolates and the varieties that the art of Chocolatiering teaches the concept, making, storage, designs, and packaging.

Making Chocolate, Cookies, Cuppy Cakes at the Chocolate Factory will cost you one rupee buying them in the market will cost you ten rupees onwards. In our Chocolate Factory you will find children and parents participating coming from different cultures, states, religions, nations, ages, generation, with one love for chocolates.

Theresa Micheal whose best friends make chocolates for Cadbury’s, Café Coffee Day, one of them who has set up his own restaurant in Mumbai has also catered to Mr Dhirubhai Ambani, some of my friends main line of business is catering to the Corporate sweet tooth. Whenever we get together and knowing the social activities I do in the neighbourhood, give me the tips and fine nuances of making Chocolates at home. Those who travel abroad, and learn something new or buy something new will always share it with me. This has made me not just a capable chocolatier but I can offer the same affordably to those who cannot make regular purchases at store or dine at fancy restaurants. For me I had friends who helped me, now it is my turn to help others through Art of Chocolatiering. My workshops are not just aimed to get professional skills but to focus more on personality, morality, and understanding that goes a long way and it is the best way to get people together, teaching parents skills to bond with the children, the children making the parents proud with their plating manners and culinary skills. The target age group was 3 years onwards and free for parents.

Now that the children have learnt, The Fine Art Of Chocolatiering, Vatsal Sharma from Ashiana Public School Age 5 says that making chocolates is better than bursting crackers, Saumil Singh Age 5, would like to make more chocolates at home and would save more money, while Ravi and Shavy age 5 and 4 would love to make the chocolates and cookies at home and share it with their family and friends. Kids were also addressed how they can make a difference in the world where every child is especially talented to take care of the natural resources we have. They said they would prefer lighting diyas and not indulge in bursting crackers as it would pollute land, water, and air all at one time, even pet animals, birds and butterflies can die because of the accidents the crackers which burst in the air causes.

Soon after the kids finished their classes it was now to check on the mother’s skills, each of them were given muffin cakes, chocolate cream, toppings and moulds, they were asked to decorate each of them in their own way, children were giving instructions to the parents and as the minute was over, we had one challenging chef on the table. That was Mrs Sharma and Vatsal Sharma, who could make one chocolate cuppy cake in a minute. They were naturally declared the winning family of the event. The Factory bells rings and the shift is over. As bonus all the working parents and children were allowed to take their Diwali gifts home, obviously they took all the goodies they made, wished every one a HAPPY ECO DIWALI and left for their homes, soon to make the world a better place.
