A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Aug 2016 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys, 

August is the month which sees a lot of new smartphones getting launched and last year too there was some of the new technology was launched. Also, it brings in a lot of Indian festivals along with the Independence Day of India on 15th August. This was the first time I attended the flag hoisting ceremony at the Consulate General Office in Johannesburg, South Africa. 

1. @SamsungSA Unveils New #GalaxyNote7 Intelligent #Smartphone that Thinks Big - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/08/samsungsa-unveils-new-galaxynote7.html - It was unfortunate that the smartphone I love the most was not able to work last year. I was also not able to attend the launch event last year due to the office meetings. This year too, Note 8 launch I was not able to make it to the event but hope the best for this amazing phablet. I would love to own one of the Note series smartphones as my primary phone.

2. @HuaweiZA Outperforms The #Smartphone Industry #Financial Results #HY2016 - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/08/huaweiza-outperforms-smartphone.html - Huawei as a brand has grown at an extremely amazing pace and they brought some great smartphones to the market in the last 2-3 years. I have never used the latest P9 to P10 to Mate 9 somehow but I like the Leica dual-lens monochromatic lens as it can really gives your creativity an edge to capture some great moments. 

3. #BeoVision14 Picture Perfect HD TV @BangOlufsenSA #LikeNoOneElse #Craftsmanship - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/08/beovision14-picture-perfect-hd-tv.html - Bang and Olufsen is an experience that brings your senses to fall in love with the technology. I attended a demonstration of the TV at the Melrose Arch store and was totally amazed to see this latest technology. The only thing is the price of the product is way above my affordability range. 

4. Mythos Launches Bespoke #Restaurant: #Nostimo Waterfall Estate #Johannesburg - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/08/mythos-launches-bespoke-restaurant.html - Mythos launched this property and the PR company said they will call me at the launch event but I was not. Many times it has happened that I get nothing in return for many of my posts which is a sad state of affairs. Brand shall never forget that there is nothing free as it takes a lot of time to post the posts and share them across all social media channels. 

5. If ‘Gandhi’ Was Made In #2016 @ZeeClassic #Movies #Remakes - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/08/if-gandhi-was-made-in-2016-zeeclassic.html - This is a good comparison of who will be the Cast if Gandhi movie is being directed again. Though this post is one from the Indiblogger IndiOne marketing campaigns I really loved the same. 

In the end, I would simply like to state that the brand shall respect the time and efforts it goes in the social influence but I do respect the money and efforts they also do to call the influencers to their launch events. It's a simple give and takes exercise and I always work towards creating more ROI for the brand when they invest in me.

Mythos Launches Bespoke #Restaurant: #Nostimo Waterfall Estate #Johannesburg

Hi Guys,

Family-run eatery Mythos launches its brand new bespoke restaurant in Waterfall Estate, combining its popular contemporary Greek cuisine with a family-friendly focus, making it the ideal venue for a quick weekday bite or a leisurely Sunday lunch with the whole family.

Nostimo, meaning “tasty” in Greek, has something for everyone - a strong family focus with features that include a pottery studio, nature-themed kids play area complete with an organic playground. In addition to its exclusive Mediterranean recipes, Nostimo will be serving freshly baked artisanal bread, piping hot pizza fresh from their new wood burning oven and a variety of luxury, homemade ice creams.

The contemporary, barn-style structure overlooks the latest Keith Kirsten venture, the Waterfall Wilds Nursery. Quality is paramount, evidenced in the development of the children’s area. While visiting the restaurant, children can be entertained on the organic playground facility, which has been designed to solely incorporate natural materials.

“In conceiving Nostimo, we’ve taken the best of Mythos and added additional elements to create a unique dining experience in an exceptional contemporary setting. Design-wise it speaks to the sophisticated diner but is equally welcoming for families or a romantic interlude,” says George Kutra, owner of Mythos. “Uppermost for us is to ensure that the Greek passion for life, beauty and food, which is so central to our culture, is strongly reflected in the Mythos brand, and we know that customers will experience all this and more at Nostimo.”

You can find Nostimo at Waterfall Wilds on the corner of Maxwell Drive and Country Estate Drive. For more information call 011 517 2349. 

Cheers!!!

Mythos Arrives @TheMallOfAfrica #MyMallOfAfrica #Greek #Restaurant #Food

Hi Guys, 

Visitors to the Mall of Africa can now feast on authentic Greek cuisine thanks to the opening of family-run eatery Mythos. Offering a variety of meze, traditional cooked meals, meat, fish and seafood dishes, Mythos continues to be a popular dining destination for families, couples and business people seeking good Greek food and hospitality.

Launched in 2006 by founder George Kutra, Mythos is a contemporary Greek-run restaurant with traditional spirit. The menu, which was crafted by George’s mother, Irene Kutra, includes a variety of delicious Greek dishes, including the likes of moussaka, pastitsio, soudsoukakia and kleftiko. Each Mythos chef learns how to perfect the family’s favourites from Irene’s in-depth training sessions and decades of experience in the kitchen. 

“Our menu is all of our family’s favourite dishes rolled into one, giving our customers a contemporary Greek experience and a little piece of our heritage with every meal. I am proud to share my traditional family recipes and excited to be bringing them to the Mall of Africa,” said Irene Kutra. 

The interior of the new restaurant was designed by Gys Van Graan who ensured a bespoke atmosphere, as is the brand’s approach to each of its restaurants.

“We aimed to achieve a contemporary version of the typical Greek restaurant, without compromising the warmth of Greek culture and tradition - and we achieved this by including natural materials such as timber and leather, brass elements, green walls and macramé details to enrich the interior with a touch of sophistication,” said Van Graan.

Housed in the Town Square area of the mall near Entrance 23, Mythos is open seven days a week and offers the ultimate Greek dining experience, by a passionate and hands-on Greek family. For more information visit http://www.mythos.co.za.

Cheers!!!
