Her unstinting efforts earned Bomanjee Tutorials the Best Coaching Class Award by Star Education Awards and last year she was felicitated as the Most Profound French Language Teacher and Memory Trainer in the city of Mumbai by National Fame Awards. Bomanjee has now embarked on a book, Parlons en Français, to make learning the French language easier for beginners through songs.
Learning how to harness the timeless wisdom of Ayurveda, she began to make chemical-free lotions and potions, notes the email. This resulted in the creation of the D J Naturals range with zero-chemical soaps (which when used daily work like a facial); GoPain Balm, Kesh Kadha Hair oil and more. Recently senior citizen Armaity Mistry bought a palm-sized bottle of oil from Bomanjee to relieve her chronic knee pain and found relief, Mistry states.
