To
attend Indiblogger Meet is always fun, sharing of information, showing
creativity and above all enjoyment! I attended the first Indiblogger Meet of year
2016 in Delhi on 15th May. #CatchUpOnGrowth Indiblogger Meet at
Lalit, Delhi was also of unique of its own kind as I got the chance to meet
blog buddies and to attend the launch of a brand new product i.e. HorlicksGrowth+, a revolutionary development in the field of nutrition sciences. It
offers advanced nutrition for growth and development in children during their
crucial years of growth. It was great to participate in discussion on
child development with experts, talk about blogging with blog buddies and to
know more about their blogs. I had nice time in face to face meetings, sharing
experiences, interacting and playing games during the event.
Registration
and warm welcome from Indiblogger Team, was followed by the buffet lunch. The
meal was tasty, not too spicy and lavish. I got the change to meet nice
bloggers from various fields from fashion to food. It was awesome experience to
meet new bloggers face to face who wrote on different subjects whom I earlier knew
only virtually as I had read their blogs.
Horlicks
Growth+ is the first of its kind to provide nutrition solution to the children
of age group 3-9 years to catch up the lost growth in terms of weight and
height. It contains specific nutrients like whey protein, growth amino acids
and vitamins, minerals from natural sources to trigger the growth in children
who are leaner and shorter of their age.
The programme began
with the introduction session from the selected bloggers such as Shilpi Dutta, Nimi Arora, Dr. Mandira, Arvind
Passey and Reena Batra who shared their experiences with children and what they
had learnt from them. It was hosted by Anoop. An interesting and informative discussion was
organized in which the moderator was Natasha Badhwar who was a mother of
three children, media professional, entrepreneur, avid blogger and the co-owner
of Ochre Sky, an online fashion brand. The discussion panel included Dr. Rajiv Chhabra, HOD of
Paediatrics at Artemis Hospital, Gurgaon who had worked with Max Hospital, St
Mary's Hospital, Seth GS Medical College & Rajiv Gandhi Cancer institute
& Research Centre, New Delhi and did his post graduate program in
Paediatrics Nutrition from Boston University, USA, Ms Satinder Kaur Walia
who was running her centre named 'Learning at Potential' a centre for psychological
and educational assessment and Dr .Jyoti Batra who was the Head Dietitian at Batra
Hospital and had also worked with Artemis, Fortis, Max & Paras Hospitals.
An interactive and informative session with bloggers took place in which the
bloggers actively participated. The panel with illustrations and examples
answered the queries of bloggers about child growth, nutrition and eating habits.
They emphasized on developing a healthy habit in children to eat healthy food
which should be made interesting so that children relish them and love to eat
them. Moreover, children should be allowed to eat junk food once in a while but
before that child daily nutritive requirement of nutrients should be fulfilled
from the healthy food. Therefore, healthy food in the morning and junk food at
night could be given.
Soon after the
launch of the product we were offered to taste it. It is available in two delicious
flavours chocolate and vanilla. I love the taste of chocolate flavour. It was
so flavoursome that one mug was not enough I was wanting more. I am quite sure
children will love the taste and flavour and will not be fussy about drinking
it. It can be given to children in hot or cold milk or water. It can’t be mixed
in juices or soups as the product contains milk powder. It can be given to
child in between the meals or before sleeping so that normal regular food is
not compromised. It is a boon for fussy eaters
for their weight gain and overall growth. It is intended as a nutrition
supplement not a meal replacement and is a nourishing beverage to be taken as
part of a regular diet. It contains whey protein, essential amino acids such
as Arginine, Glutamic acid, Leucine and Lysine 16. It also contains Calcium,
Iron, Vitamin D, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and Zinc which are extremely important to
help children catch up on height and weight in the short duration of only 6
months. It provides immune nutrients like Vitamins A, C and
D, which are all known to support a healthy immune function. It is a
nutritious and flavoured healthy drink clinically proven to nourish children
who have fallen behind with their weight and height.
Dr. Aditya Kaushik head of Medical Affairs for Indian Subcontinent at GSK Consumer
Healthcare, was a physician (MBBS, MD), had clinical and industry experience in
Medical & Regulatory Affairs & Clinical Drug Development and also
chaired the OTC Industry Association committee at FICCI enthusiastically answered
the questions from bloggers related to nutrition and make up of Horlicks
Growth+. He suggested that parents should consult a physician for the amount
and time framework for giving the Horlicks Growth + to child according to age
and reduction in child’s weight and height.
Tea time
was the best time to interact with the bloggers of various fields under the same
roof. I got the chance to meet the fellow bloggers to discuss various aspects
of blogging. After it, all the members were shuffled and were asked to make the
team of ten members. I was in Team No. 4 and was given measuring tape, T-shirt,
mug and Horlicks Growth plus as props which were to be used while making an advertisement
of not more than 30 seconds. It was a great fun with the team while making a
clipping of advertisement.
All of us enthusiastically took part in selecting
dialogues, situation, and scene background. Shooting it, was real fun! Never
done it before but thoroughly enjoyed creating that masterpiece.
No grudges
that our team couldn’t win but it was master piece for us as it was the beginning
of vlogging. Moreover, I believe that participation in more important than
winning a game.
Holding
the gift from Indiblogger and Horlicks I came out of the hotel with memorable
and knowledgeable experiences. On reaching home I
found, Horlicks Growth+ pack in the bag. This is the best product in the market
to trigger growth in children who are falling behind on the growth curve (in
terms of height & weight). For buying, it is
available at all leading pharmacies, modern trade retail chains and selected
grocery outlets as well as online. Horlicks Growth+ 400g pack costs Rs. 575/- only. So much in so less
price!
I am looking forward to next Indiblogger meet to have fun, to share information and to exchange knowledge.
