Meet Anita Chris Evert, who promotes an organic lifestyle besides selling handmade, chemical-free products
Anita Chris Evert is from an advertising background and is committed to an organic lifestyle. Her life experiences prompted her to start Avadata Organics to sell organic spices.
“I found that my children fell ill often and I wanted to provide them food that is home-made, natural, healthy and chemical-free that would boost their immunity. That is how Avadata Organics came to be.”
She did a lot of research and met experts. “When we launched, we knew that there were many organic products out there. Hence, we focussed on spices as that is an area where the maximum adulteration happens.”

How do you create a Christmas tree with crochet? Take notes from crochet artist Sheena Pereira, who co-founded Goa-based Crochet Collective with crocheter Sharmila Majumdar in 2025. Their artwork takes centre stage at the Where We Gather exhibit, which is part of Festivals of Goa, an ongoing exhibition hosted by the Museum of Goa. The collective’s multi-hued, 18-foot crochet Christmas tree has been put together by 25 women from across the State. “I’ve always thought of doing an installation with crochet. So, we thought of doing something throughout the year that would culminate at the year end; something that would resonate with Christmas message — peace, hope, joy, love,” explains Sheena.
