On the occasion of 19th anniversary of Rag’s Boutique, owner Shailaja Prasad hosted a Client Appreciation Day for her clients and guests in Nagpur. While some guests were busy exchanging smiles over a cup of coffee and snacks, some were busy appreciating Shailaja and her creations.
Ashwini Gadre, one of the loyal customers since the inception of Rags Boutique, told Nation Next, Shes the most elegant woman I’ve ever seen. Her fashion never goes overboard. Her style is simple yet she makes us look so stylish. Shes given me the best of outfits and choices to decide upon. She gave me a lot of confidence over the years. Shes made me look so trendy!
Dr Renu Bali, who was another elated customer shopping at the boutique, said, I’ve been associated with Rag’s Boutique since 19 years. Even if you approach her at the last minute, she never says no. It’s a very rare quality that she exhibits. Shes extremely co-operative.
When Nation Next caught hold of Shailaja Prasad amidst all the guests, she said, It’s an amazing feeling to thank all my lovely clients in my own special way. We like to call this day as the Client Appreciation Day. All throughout the year, our clients show us so much of love. Today is our day of showing gratitude towards them. When asked about her rare? quality of not saying a no? to her customers and being a thorough professional, Shailaja in a bright green sari and with silken hair, quipped, It’s hardly any professionalism. It’s solely out of love for my customers.
Speaking about her range of fabrics, she said, Initially, we stuck to handlooms and mangalgiris. But, due to customers demands, we diversified to south cotton, silk, banarasi, chiffon, georgettes, etc. We source our fabrics from all over the country. We do keep trendy fabrics, saris and dress materials for women who prefer an indo-western look.

Car, that can transform into aircraft in 135 seconds, gets airworthiness certification in Slovakia

‘AirCar’ manufactured by Klein Vision
A car, which can transform into an aircraft in two minutes and 15 seconds, has been issued with a certificate of airworthiness by the Slovak Transport Authority. The hybrid car-aircraft, which is capable of hitting speeds over 100mph (160kmh) and altitudes above 8,000ft (2,500m), is equipped with a BMW engine and runs on regular petrol-pump fuel.
The ‘Aircar’ has been manufactured by Klein Vision, which said that the certification followed 70 hours of flight testing and more than 200 take-offs and landings. Professor Stefan Klein, Founder of Klein Vision, said: “AirCar certification opens the door for mass production of very efficient flying cars.” He added: “It is official and the final confirmation of our ability to change mid-distance travel forever.”
In June 2021, the flying car completed a 35-minute flight between international airports in Nitra and Bratislava, Slovakia. Klein Vision told BBC News that it plans to fly to London from Paris in near future.
Rene Molnar, director, Civil Aviation, Transport Authority of Slovakia, said: Transportation Authority carefully monitored all stages of unique AirCar development from its start in 2017. Transportation safety is our highest priority. AirCar combines top innovations with safety measures in line with EASA (European Aviation Safety Agency) standards. It defines a new category of a sports car and a reliable aircraft.
