Airtel 4G


Well I remember the days when getting a sim card or getting a phone for that matter was a great achievement or possession in itself. I briefly remember how I got my first phone, the most basic one indeed where calling and messaging were the only features that were used in a phone. And now the times have changed and I believe they have changed for the good. A lot of people criticize and may oppose this and rather blame it on adoption of western culture, but I am of a different opinion and I believe this change has got us good and progress. I am so glad to have a smart phone today, a phone which is really smart in all aspect, be it calling or messaging I can use them at minimal costs, thanks to yet another development in the field of technology, we now have Internet. An internet which does not function at the speed of a rabbit but a speed which is tremendously good and can now help download movies and videos at an unbelievably great speed.

With the birth of Airtel 4G, I think we have made a great progress and achievement. Today watching a video on YouTube or surfing the internet to get directions, it is all possible with Airtel 4G. I personally am a great fan of English serials and enjoy watching them especially while I am travelling. Thanks to the internet speed I have never been able to successfully complete even a single episode, by the time the episode buffers and continues to resume from where it lost connectivity, I am half way through my destination and almost loose interest in watching it. But now with Airtel 4G and the promising commercials of the company, I am sure to watch multiple episodes and be on pace with my favourite serials.

From watching television shows to getting directions when lost, it will all be so much simpler and convenient with the introduction of Airtel 4G. One can now navigate and get around places without losing connectivity or without having to dependent upon on people to get directions. Well, these ae just a few things that one can do with the help of a faster internet connection. The use and benefits are unlimited.

To sum it up, I must applaud Airtel and must certainly appreciate them for this great development and introduction to the Indian masses, it surely is a sign of progress for us. I can now make use of Airtel 4G from baking to dancing, because now everything is available at the click of a button and without losing connectivity. The price for the connection is amazing as one does not have to bother to shell out that extra money to enjoy better connectivity. Thank you Airtel for giving us the freedom to empower ourselves with Airtel 4G. I am going to get my Airtel 4G now, what are you waiting for?


Use Airtel 4G and empower yourself!

Honey Diet


Why are all healthy diets so boring in taste and why is that they are not as good as the junk? If only broccoli and brinjal tasted as good as panner tikkas and pizzas then one would never have to worry about eating healthy food. This is because the taste buds easily help gulp down such foods. Also there would be no regret of eating junk food which come with a trouble of those extra unnecessary fat around the belly.

So yes clearly healthy food wins over junk as eating junk food doesn’t just accumulate unnecessary fat around the belly but it is also very bad for our health. Right from belly fats to skin problems and to feeling lazy all day round I have been through all when I was practically living on junk food and faced all these problems. Blame it on the modern society or the adaption of the western culture or blame it on my work, it has somewhere also lead to misbalancing my diet.

And then there came a time when I figured out that what’s the point of earning so much money by working for long hours at the office when I have no time for myself and no time to take care of my health. I was putting on unnecessary weight and that’s when I thought I should take up to crash dieting. Since I was so busy with work I did not bother going to the dietitian, I just took up to crash dieting where I survived only on liquids. I ate nothing all day round. It had an adverse effect on my body as I worked for so long and since I would not eat anything, my body had absolutely no energy and no stamina. I started to feel very weak and that’s when I realized that it’s time I took a day off and consulted a doctor.


When I did so, I was told that eating a balanced diet is the way to a healthy body. A balanced and a healthy diet includes eating fruits, vegetables, green leafy vegetables, less of potato, more of spinach, drinking loads of juice, avoiding sugar, etc. Sugar is present in large quantities in aerated drinks and that’s why they are considered to be bad for our health. Although we have diet cokes which contain lesser sugar but yet it doesn’t have the same taste. In this case where you wish to give up on sugar so that you can make it to that perfect consider a Honey Diet- adding honey to your water, honey on your bread instead of jam or butter or any such spread can help you stay fit and healthy. Thus eat right and help your body stay in shape at all times.

Cricket runs in the blood of every Indian. It is a sport that is watched and played by all. It is a perfect weekend pass time for the young boys and a perfect time out for the busy men. Ladies also enjoy watching the game and have their favorites there (Yes ladies I am talking about our Captain Cool, Kohli and the other super talented cricketers)

The days of world cup and T20s and other important matches are equally or more important for the Indian audience as they are for the cricketers themselves. Nobody wants to miss on those amazing and super entertaining matches. The IPL matches have their own charm. It is so much of fun watching and supporting your favorite team.

Well life is not a bed of roses, right? How much ever we like watching these matches we might not always be able to watch them. Some important meeting to attend, some important function that you cannot skip, some exam or some or the other event that we are bound to attend.

Talking about an important function, I remember there was my cousin’s wedding on the day of the world cup and how some of our close relatives actually called up and said that we should consider postponing the wedding as many guests would skip the wedding for the match. That’s when we decided to have the LCD at the marriage hall for all the cricket lovers. As expected the eyes were more on when the batsman hits a six and less on when the bride and the bride groom take the wedding vows.

Today I wonder why didn’t they rather watch the match online? It would not only cut down on the cost of the LCD but that way even the couple would get the desired attention. Works well for both, doesn’t it?

Watching matches online is now much easier than what it was in the past. You don’t have to wait anymore for somebody to upload the video online on YouTube, etc. There is live streaming of matches on various apps and websites. While these sites let you watch the match on time and stay update with the latest scores, some of the browsers take too long to open and then longer to load. This doesn’t only add up to the surfing cost but it also make this entire watching match online thing tedious.

Well there is this amazing browser to our rescue which ensures that watching a match online is easy and fun. The browser is called UC browser. You can surf all and surf fast on this browser. More like this browser is especially designed to give the cricket lovers a real treat. With its UC Cricket feature one can check the score and latest news about the game without having to google or check with friends time and again. Not just the match of cricket but other social networking sites, etc. can all be accessed on this browser.

Twice As Nice

Hi everyone,
It is indeed amazing to have a company with you. It makes thing work better and much wiser. It not only reduces the work but also there is an exchange of thoughts, creativity and lots more. This time I had a chance to collaborate with my blogger friend for this lovely activity by Garnier called the #TwiceAsNice.

This activity started off by sending us samples of the two products which when used together would make our skin twice as nice. The idea was of writing up an article in collaboration with a friend for the very same reason – it would be twice as nice in this case.
The power of two is really great. It actually is a lot of fun to do things in a team than doing them alone. There is exchange of ideas which will help both the people to prosper equally. The power of two is such that it makes anything twice as nice.

Now have a look at the Garnier products that we received as a part of this activity. Garnier pure active apricot scrub and Garnier pure active neem face wash were the two products that formed the #TwiceAsNice range.

The face wash did the work of cleansing while the scrub helped moisturise and smoothen the skin for both of us. The scrub helped our skin become smoother and there was noticeable difference, we both really could make out. The face wash on the other hand had neem and tea tree oil extracts which helped to purify the skin and also helped to cleanse it and thus remove impurities and excess oil.

We both loved the Twice as nice combo. Recommend you all to try it J

Redefine your smartphone experience


Smartphone are these days used by everyone. Even the local sellers these days are using phones. Gone are the days when phones were only for the rich, today they can be afforded my one and all. Phones these days are not just a want or some object that you can show-off about but they are now an important mode of communication.

While the basic functions of calling and messaging are provided by all phones. The ones providing features like camera, music, etc. are called smartphones. There are a plenty of smart phones to choose from. Right from Apple to Nokia. All sorts and kinds of phones are available. These phones are available with distinct features and have huge price difference too.

Let’s get talking about the different features that a smartphone should have:
1.       Good camera
2.       Good memory
3.       Good battery life
4.       Great speed
5.       Good sound
6.       Should look good
7.       Should be reasonably priced

These would be the basic requirements of a common man while buying any smartphone. But the problem comes here there are phones that have a few of these features and not all. So what does a common man do?

A common man buys ASUS Zenfone 2. This phone according to me is the smartest of all the smartphones. This phone in particular is the world’s, mind it the WORLD’s only phone with 4 GB RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM for those who don’t know about phones is needed for good speed. With 4 GB Ram your phone would probably be running. No chance of hanging at all. It is the speed at which the data is transferred from one part to the other, 4 GB is great sorry greatest speed ever.

Next what is so good about this phone that I am all praise for it is that it’s amazing pixel camera. This smartphone, ASUS Zenfone 2’s PixelMaster camera captures stunning, high-resolution pictures with zero shutter-lag. Simply put, amazing camera experience.

Not just the pixel is so good but also one can absolutely do without a flash with this smartphone. It clicks 400% brighter pictures at night and thus one can do away with a flash.
So great speed, amazing camera what else would you ask for?

Charging phones is quite a task. Every time you keep your phone for charging and you get a message and then you just forget about charging. Well ASUS Zenfone 2 takes care of this too. It supports ASUS- exclusive technology that charges devices faster than usual. It charges 605 in 39 minutes which is brilliant.

It looks amazingly stylish and is available in such good colours. Sleek, smart and amazingly stylish.

I have enough and more reasons to call this smartphone the best ever and it would truly redefine the experience of smartphone.

REFRESHING BREAKFAST

One must always ensure that a healthy diet helps one live a
healthy life and a healthy living. And hence a healthy meal is what is most
important for a healthy living. When it comes to food, one must never
compromise, a good food gives one the required nutrients and supplements that
are required by the body. Now, when it comes to starting your day with food, it
the morning Nashta or breakfast which is the first meal of the day. I am sure
you must have all heard about the famous saying which goes like, eat your
breakfast like a rich man and then your lunch like a middle class man and the
last meal which is your dinner must be like that of a beggar. Well there is a
valid and important reason why people say this. The reason is because that is
how our body is programmed and functions in that style. There is no harm is
eating food, but there is a limit and proportion in which our body needs food. One
cannot over do with food, any such thing affects the body badly and disrupts
our schedule, and so we must never compromise on good food.

When it comes to my breakfast I prefer starting my day with
some refreshing food, like fruits and some healthy dry fruits is what I would
prefer my day to start with. I am a milk lover and so all milk products are
always welcome for me, so my ideal breakfast must have a mix of all for sure,
it helps me with the required strength and stamina to keep me on my toes all
day, and lively given my profession. And so I am really looking forward to
enjoy my morning breakfast at Guptaji’s place, which is going to have a proper
mix of all the above that I need to kick start my day.

I am going to Guptaji’s place to have some mouth-watering
strawberry and banana cornflakes, the meal will have a proper proportionate of
fruits along with my favourite milk and of course cornflakes to complete the
nutrients to my breakfast. The main reason why I am so eager and excited to go
to Guptaji’s place is because the breakfast is not too heavy nor is it too
light that will keep me hungry again. At the same time it helps me finish my
breakfast soon, as I don’t need to separately eat fruits, and then milk. It is
a quick meal with all nutrients, required for my body. I am going to relish
this one for sure, with some yum flavour of strawberry and banana. A perfect
start this one is for my day!

SHOPPING

Happiness is for me shopping, when it comes to that one thing that can make me happy or instantly make me forget all my worries, it is shopping. Well to precisely say the retail therapy never fails, and especially with the female gender, it can never go wrong. So to describe my happiness all I can say is, that shopping it is that brings that smile on my face. Be in times when I want to celebrate or the times when I just need a time out, or a day off, all I think of is shopping. I enjoy shopping to an extent that sometimes I even wonder that the movie, Shopaholic was based upon my life. :-p
Well, jokes apart my mantra of happiness is shopping. Even if it involves shopping for the silliest and pettiest thing, I enjoy it to the core. I love the entire process of going to different shops, giving my eyes the pleasure of witnessing beautiful creations and what best can be the way to appreciate this beauty than just purchasing them. One must learn to appreciate good work, is what I as taught back in school and I truly abide by it, by going on a shopping spree.
So, to tell you more about my shopping love, I am that person who can shop till they drop. Shopping is my ultimate love and rather my first love. From college days to my current working days, shopping has always been by my side. Off late online shopping is the one, which has caught my attention and has got me so attracted to its  charm, that every time I open my phone, I don’t forget to check out the latest deals on the app, and to add an icing to the cake, I almost every time indulge in shopping it. The very concept of online shopping attracts me all the more, because there is a lot of excitement which is attached to the concept. One has to patiently wait for the product to arrive and then when the product arrives it is more a like a surprise gift that has arrived, although you know what the product is, yet there is that spark of excitement attached to it. As the product arrives, there is that excitement and anxiety to see what has come and how the product looks like. And hence I say online shopping has added that new zeal and enthusiasm to my happiness. It gives me that extra dose of happiness at the click of a button, without even going to the malls or shopping centres, one can bring happiness instantly.
Well so here goes my mantra of happiness and this my way of bringing happiness to my life and also happiness to the life of my dear and near ones. (I do consider buying stuff for my dear ones as well, rarely though :-p

Garnier Fructis Challenge

It reminds me about my friend’s wedding party, I was all decked up, ready for the bash.
Dress check
Footwear check
Bag Gucci Check
But but my hair? I wanted to hide my ugly hair. My frizzy hair. My dull hair. My dry hair.
I hated how my hair ruined my entire look and I hated how my hair looked nothing less than an organic broom.

But then I took the Garnier #HappyHairChallenge and things changed. In a month’s span my hair became manageable and smooth from frizzy and dry. I too was surprised to see the difference in my hair in less than two weeks and at the end of a month, my hair completely changed. Today my hair is a lot smoother than what it was a month ago. It’s a lot more manageable. It’s no more frizzy and no more dry.

My split-ends have reduced considerably or rather I can say that they have all almost vanished. My hair fall has almost disappeared. It feels nothing less than a magic, really.


The use of Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition Shampoo and Conditioner has worked wonders for my hair. It has completely redefined my hair. It has made my hair happy. I am so happy that I took the #HappyHairChallenge and even happier with its results. Thanks Garnier for making my hair look so much better and happier.

TOGETHER

Optimism is the key to good and happy life. Optimism is the essence of a good life. It takes absolutely nothing away if you try to find good in the bad and happiness in sorrow, it would make things a lot easier, trust me. Well it’s obviously not as easy it may seem but with a family like mine it is all seems like a bed of roses. This is about how I am gifted and blessed by god.
It is a saying that your parents are your creator, your god. Not only is my existence because of them but they are also the reason of living to me. They in the true sense are the reason why I am alive, the reason why I am so optimistic and they are my real motivation and my true inspiration.

I was born and breaded in beautiful Spain that was the home to me. I could not have thought of moving out from this place. I absolutely love being there, the NRI tag that I got just added up to all the pleasures and joys of staying there. Like how it is in a Cinderella story, I had all the comforts. I was surrounded by all the best things of the world.
It was till this one fine day when my father decided that he wanted to shift back to our native place, India. This decision he took because he had his old parents to take care of and also a whole business that needed my Dad to be there. I did understand the reason but still at the moment in time, I was hypnotised or rather frozen. I thought that was the end of my so called “good life”. I had grown up with my friends there, I was born and brought up as per the culture there. Not that I didn’t understand why my father had to take this decision but I was very scared.  I was completely shattered. I didn’t know how to react then but all I knew was that it was certain. The decision of moving from this beautiful country was final, my Dad had already taken the call.
 Then we finally moved to India. I was apprehensive but my parents were my strength they told me that as long as we are #together we may not have all but together we have it all. My family are my parents they are my pillar, my strength. They are the ones whom I can fall back on, on whom I can completely rely and to whom I can entrust my all.

They in the true sense are the purpose and inspiration to my living.

Today I am happy that the shift bought so much more to us. We are always together in our good and bad because home is where the heart is.

Meet The New Housing


Life is about moving on. Life is about finding ways to live. Life is about changing and adapting changes. Life is to constantly grow and to change for the better. Every day is a new beginning. Every minute there is a new learning. What is important is to learn from life. To learn that life is not constant. Life moves on. Time and tide wait for no man. If life has given you failure watch out there will be success following it.

I happened to visit this my Grandmother’s place just recently and what she told me truly motivated me. She said that God is always going to be there for us, no matter what. So of in times of your joy you see four feet- two will be yours and the others will be God’s but in times of your sorrow you might just see two feet. I was puzzled, I wondered why? I wondered why would God leave us alone in time sorrow and be with us in your happiness. To this she replied that those two feet won’t be ours but God’s. God will carry us in his arms during the time of sorrow because it’s the almighty who would stay with us through our thick and thin.

What I learnt was that life is about moving on and with what my Grandmother had to teach me I learnt that no matter what, irrespective of whether others will be there for us not. God will always be our strength. With this thought in my mind, I decided to embark a new beginning or rather #StartANewLife.

I had recently had a break up. I was in a relationship for more than 5 years and this break up wasn’t mutual. I stilled him but he had moved on. I cried every day. I had sleepless nights. I had given up on life. I wondered what could have gone wrong. What could it be that forced him to break a 5 year old relationship? I cursed myself for this. I not only gave up on my friends and secluded myself from the group but also I started to remain locked in my room so that I didn’t have to face my family who would have millions of questions to ask.


But I realized that nobody in our life is going to stay forever. People come and people go and life is just a show. Nothing lasts forever so a five year old relationship ended because maybe somewhere God would have something better planned for me. I have moved on in life. I have moved on from that phase of life where all that mattered was him. I have realized that I am stronger than my sorrows and grief. I have learnt the way of life. I have learnt that life is about moving on and starting a new every time there is a downfall.

Dry baby, happy baby

This post is a part of - https://www.rewardme.in/tag/Pampers

A child is a mother’s creation is they say, but I believe in the complete opposite. I would rather say, it is a child who gives birth to a mother. Yes, a child is the one who gives birth to a mother and motherhood. A woman is complete they say, when she is a mother. I truly believe in this and now feel immense satisfaction when I go through the same phase in my life. A woman moves through various cycles of life, from being a daughter, to a sister, to being a wife and then ultimately being a mother. Motherhood is the best thing that happens to a woman. A woman is given this gift by god that she gives birth to a child. I personally believe it requires immense strength and will power to bear a child for nine months. Because the child lives through you and vice versa. The nine months that a child lives in the mother’s womb, the child connects to the mother. A child breathes through the mother, it eats, and lives through the mother. And hence I say motherhood is the best thing that happens to a woman and gives birth to a beautiful relationship what they call of a child and parent.

Child finds joy in little and simple things. Like the simplest of things makes a child happy, for instance even a small sweet that somebody gets for a child makes a child very happy. If their favorite poetry is narrated somewhere, they feel a part of it and start to join in. This is not something that a grown up can do. Once when we grow up, we change. We become more world oriented than self - oriented. We start to think about what others have to say and what others will think about our actions.
I remember when I was a kid, I always said that I want to grow up fast but now that I am all grown up I do realize that my life as a kid was a lot better than what it is now. No tension, no worry only happiness and joys in little things. How I wish I could lead such a life even today but well only the little ones are fortunate.
So it is utmost important that now that we are grown up and realize how crucial and how joyful our yester years were, we do the best for the little ones. Right from ensuring that they have their meals on time and to making sure that they sleep well. For them to sleep well, it is important that their diaper remains dry. Well, it is Pampers Baby Dry Pants that takes care of this and ensures dryness both inside and outside for up  to 12 hours. This will keep the baby dry and healthy because a dry baby is a happy baby.

Be positive

Be positive. Failure is only a stepping stone to success. Don’t give up and what not? How often do we come across these sayings? Looks like everybody in this world has something or the other to teach us. The real question is how many actually mean it, how many actually be positive, how many actually don’t give up and how many can actually take failures?
Well I can say with a lot of pride that I am one such person. I am very optimistic.
Here is my story of optimism-
I have been looking for a change in job since the past one year now. Initially there were no calls and absolutely no interviews. I wondered why? I did everything that I needed to, I updated my resume, put it on the job portals but to my bad luck I used to get no interview calls. People blamed the poor job market.  I thought to myself that I just wanted a change, a better job but there were people who had none. I waited patiently.
Finally after a few months I started getting the much awaited calls, this didn’t happen on its own. It happened after I crossed the limit of the maximum jobs one can apply on naukri.com. Now came the interview rounds. Every time I gave an interview I thought I would get selected and would wait for their call or joining mail but I would end up dejected. I would have given more than 10 interviews in a month but I did not even get selected in one. There was a point in life, where I wanted to give up and said that may be I am not a deserving person enough to get a good Job. A good corporate job, a job in one of those sky scrapper building is what I had always dreamt of and for some reason that dream felt only like dream and I almost felt that it would never turn into reality. I did it all from job portals to meeting new people every day to calling up those references or contacts that I once made and met them only so that I could take help from them one such day, unfortunately nothing seemed to be in my favor. I kept giving interviews and I kept failing at it.
I got calls from few best places and few worst places, I ensured I go for all and try my luck everywhere, only to get more disheartened each time. However once a point, where I had almost given up and that came is when my mother came up to me and reminded me of my own story that had occurred when I was in standard 9th. I was always bad with mathematics and so I had failed in the subject and was given one chance as a re-attempt case to move to the 10th standard. I remember then, I had practiced math like crazy and decided I would not give up, for the shame of being behind my friends and also for the fact that I was not so weak in life that one such thing would take me behind or not let me move ahead. She made me recall my words then, I had promised to her that mom, I would not give up on math and I will move ahead. She told me to repeat those words again this time and I said it to her this time again, mom I will not give up. This attitude of mine, let me move ahead even after so many failures, I am today with a job in one of those sky scrapper buildings that I had only dreamt of and in one of the best companies. Thanks to my mother who bought me up with this never dying attitude and filled me with optimism every time I was low.

APNO KO APNE DUM PE JEENA SIKHAO

It is not about philosophy but the certainty of life which
shows you ups and down and thats how the graph of one’s life is. As a kid I
always use to wonder what my dad did to buy us happiness, the lovely house we
stayed in, the four wheels that made the unruly road goes as smooth as butter.
Until one day when it was battle that my family lost. That was the turning
point in my life when I had to be the roots of my family tree. He has always
nurtured the thought of giving better life every moment. He always thought that
it is one life and we must make it large.



All of us have gone thru some situation in life that has
changed the way it looked, I was not even an adult, not 18 I thought why it
came so early. But my mother was the branch that stood right and let the
flowers blossom my little sisters. My mother guided me in every walk of life
and she is the creator of the woman I am today.

She has made me independent not only financially but also a
decision maker, my father had taken the right decisions which helped us grow
strength to strength. His saving, where there even after he was not around, I
completed my graduation did my further studies today I can support the family I
am a responsible sister a great daughter and above a good person.

This is a learning that life is not how one thinks it to be,
yet another learning of one’s life that no school or college can impart this is
the education given by my parents to make me self-reliant to fall and rise on
my own to make me learn to balance is the art.

Mother is somebody who knows us in and out. She knows what
we want, what we desire and what our basic need is. My mother has been rock
solid for me. She in the true sense is my life support. She knows when I need
her shoulder to cry and her eyes are stern when I need a lesson. She has made
me a self- reliant person. What I am today or rather where I am today is only
and only because of her guidance and mentoring. She in true sense is my guide
and my mentor.

I take this opportunity today to thank my mother today who
has truly believed in apno ko apne dump e jeena sikhao and helped me grow and
become a better and a more self - reliant person.

Get a better car with Quikr NXT

This post is a part of Indi Happy Hour in association with Quikr NXT. Here is the link - http://www.quikr.com/
Quikr NXT by far is the best online buying and selling site I have come across. I am not sure if they were the first ones to come up with the concept of selling online in India but at least to me and my family they were. Buying online was in itself quite a thing and people were just about getting used to it and trying to understand it’s know-how and then came Quikr which allowed its users to not just buy but also sell what you don’t want or what you don’t use online. Quikr has a major contribution in popularising selling online. If I have to think of selling online, the name that comes to my mind first is Quikr.
Quikr NXT has always been my first choice for buying or selling online. Well very recently I put an ad of my old wrangler jeans and got them sold at such an amazing price. This is when I decided that I won’t let Dad sell off our car to any local seller. Okay so basically before I happened to make such a good deal of my old pair of jeans on Quikr we had decide to sell our old car almost at scrap value to a local seller and mind you the condition of the car was pretty good. It still worked, just that you know right how it is when one gets a new job (Yes I got a job, my first ever job). Well of course my investment would hardly be anything, dad would be anyway doing the needful but a new job is reason enough to replace your old car that you have been using over 10 years with a new one.
My Dad being a little stereo typical was afraid at first about this entire of selling the car online but I somehow managed to convenience him and I put up an ad on Quikr NXT with all its features and other specifications. What followed was various enquires from prospective buyers who were keen on purchasing our car. With Quikr NXT’s latest feature that allows you to chat online and share pictures. It was a deal. We made a lot more than what our local seller was giving us. We sold our old car at an unbelievable price. My Dad was so happy, he went about telling his colleagues of how good Quikr NXT is and how they should all sell their stuff there and nowhere else.
Next came buying a car. My dad thought why not have a look at the very many options on Quikr NXT? So it was his idea this time to buy from Quikr NXT, in fact he downloaded the mobile app and kept in touch with various sellers through the app. So what came home was a car from Quikr NXT and a price that didn’t pinch the pocket even a bit.
Thank you Quikr NXT for making buying and selling so easy and hassle free.

BedTime Rituals

Bedtime is important to each one of us and in fact the most important time during the day. As this the time our body gets the required fuel to keep moving all throughout the day and keeps us on the move. Hence I believe that bedtime is the most crucial time for every human being, so now when it comes to the health and well-being of our little ones, compromise is just not the word. When you are a mother, the most important thing for you becomes the time when the child is at peace and when your child is able to enjoy a goodnight sleep.


I am sure, you are all wondering, why the emphasis on the night time sleep, well the answer to this is simple, because a goodnight’s sleep, helps your child stay fit and active all throughout the day. A mother literally dances with joy when she sees her child happy and active and playing around. That feeling makes a mother content of the upbringing she is giving her child.

So let us see, what all rituals are part of a child’s bedtime, I personally have a lot to share and here goes a few of them. From storytelling to singing the lullaby we have done it all to put your child to a proper and peaceful sleep. But one should not forget the most vital thing here, which is the diapers. Yes, diapers, they are the most important element part of the entire process of putting your child to sleep. 

Let me explain this to you in simple terms, now take it as this that you are an adult and who is asked to sleep with the feeling that you are most uncomfortable with. For example, sleeping with the lights on, I am sure many of us cannot do that and will not get proper sleep. In a similar way, for a child the most uncomfortable feeling is to sleep with that irritation and wet feeling due to frequent urination. As a child, cannot speak and it is only with the actions of the child and the child’s behavior that a mother understands, what the child needs.  And as a mother although you want to be awake all night and be there for your child, your body does not allow you to do so and so you also need to ensure you have a good night’s rest. And this is when the diapers do their work.

For me personally, diapers do the work, when I am off to bed to refuel my body. The diapers help your child enjoy that good night sleep without any disturbance and any irritation in the middle of the night. And so this is one of my bed time rituals that I follow by ensuring that my child is changed to a new diaper before he is put to sleep. This really helps my little one to enjoy his sleep without any irritation of that wet feeling or itching. And so diaper changing and ensuring it is of a good company like Pampers which indeed is the most trusted brand for years now, helps my child enjoy a good sleep. I truly recommend this for use to every mother there.

#UseYourAnd

This post is a part of #UseYourAnd activity at BlogAdda in association with Gillette Venus

Hello folks! How often are women subjected to one dimensional labels? It is very easy to categorise them and subject them to such labels! If you are a good housewife then you are not a good employee. If you are a fashion designer, you probably were never interested in your studies. I ask why? The world has changed, do people realize that? Do people realize that we are a lot better off than the yester generations? Do people realize that getting 90% does not necessarily mean that their child will take science despite being interested in commerce? We are no more stereo typical as we may be used to be earlier. The world has changed and everyone is gaining pace.

So here is my #UseYourAnd story. This is a story of a near and a dear one. She got married at an early age. Due to family pressure and a good rishta she agreed to get married. Well she did adjust to all the family norms. She abided by every family tradition very well. She although happy with her marriage always kept wondered of her identity? Her husband was a CEO and her brother-in-law an engineer. Her in-laws were part of NGOs and preferred spending most of their time there. Now the question was who was she? What was her identity?


It was six months later that she finally found answer to this question of hers. It was finally the day she realized that she could be more than just a housewife. She loved to be with her family, no doubts about that but all she wanted was an identity for herself to. This is when she put her degree to use and got herself a teachers job. It is the best she says it has suitable work timing. Nothing really has to suffer is what she confirms. Neither her work nor her house. Everyone in her family were also very happy with this decision of hers. She was the happiest of all because finally she was not just a housewife but now also a teacher. Because we women are not to be subjected to those on-dimensional labels, there is a lot more to us. 

Things that define me

This post is a part of #UseYourAnd activity at BlogAdda in association with Gillette Venus

There are a lot of things that make us who we are. It is not just our good looks that make us a good human being, right? It takes a lot of things to be a good human being like good nature, helping attitude, care and a lot of other things.
Well a lot of people say that what is difficult for human beings is to be human. My question is why? Why do we humans forget humanity? What is the purpose of our life if we cannot serve the society or do any good to mankind?
Well I am not a social worker or one of those women who spend evenings at the NGOs. I am somebody who cares for the society and who is human. Yes in my opinion, the first thing that should define anybody is humanity. We are all here for a purpose, if well we cannot serve the society where we live our very existence is pointless.
The next thing that defines me is my calm and patient nature. Well I have always believed that if you can talk and blabber you should also be ready to listen to the others. It is very important to be a good listener and I think I do hear people out. This I think is utmost important because misunderstandings happen mainly because the person did not listen to the other or refuse to do so. So hear people out, it’s a good thing to do. I am very calm and patient and this I have learnt from my mother. We women are quite often subjected to various quarrels or many a times these one dimensional labels. It is very easy for everybody to call us (women) names and try to categorize us. What is important is that we should not give up on our patience. Irrespective of what people say, we should stay determined and never lose our calm. I am not saying that don’t fight any argument or anything but all that I am saying is that hear people out, care less and be more determined.

Human, calm, kind and patient. This defines me as a woman.

Pimple Problem

Holla folks! Pimple here, pimple there, pimple everywhere. This is every teenager's story, ain't it?

Okay I do know that they are a part of growing up and all of that but still they make one look so ugly no! Everybody has had pimple problems and I am confident when I say that nobody likes or wants them. So pimples, when you all are so unwanted and hated, why don't you just go like go away and never come back you ugly thing!

It was a dream date. My long time crush had finally asked me out. I being a little shy couldn't take the first step so I waited until he did. Everything was set, it was all well planned. Right from what I was going to wear to what was I gifting him. We had decided to have our first date on a roof top of one of the best restaurants, a little over budget it was but he said that he had been planning this long. So it was all going very well and it was almost like a fairy tale.

Well well, every story has a villain. So was in my case. IT WAS A PIMPLE, a big and a ugly one. As I already mentioned I am a little shy anyway and with this pimple on my face I had just given up on my confidence. My morale was shattered. The day I had been waiting for since many years was finally here but this pimple just came in and shattered all my dreams. I didn't want to go on my first date with a pimple on my face. EWWW..

So I did what I still regret of. I cancelled the date :( I had to cancel my dream date only because of a pimple on my face. Never after that did we go on a date, he thought I was making excuses. Well boy! I too was dying to have that date with you (somebody please tell him)

From that day onwards, I made up my mind. I decided that I am not going to let pimples ruin my life any further. I used all that one possibly can to get rid of these pimples. Tried every pack and followed all diets but it did no good. Then I came across this amazing face wash which actually did wonders for my skin.

It is GARNIER PURE ACTIVE NEEM FACEWASH. It has goodness of neem and helps fight pimples better than any other face wash. I am all praise for it because-


  1. It is a natural ingredient like extract of neem leaf and tea tree oil.
  2. It helps control oil which is the major cause of pimples.
  3. It helps fight germs and pollution.
  4. It also helps get rid of marks.
  5. It also helps to get rid of the redness accompanying the pimples.
DO TRY IT OUT.

Valentine

This post is a part of Closeup Cupid Games Campaign. Here is the link http://cupidgames.closeup.in/

Valentine, the very word brings that pink blush on our face. Valentine, the word just makes me think of one festival, and the festival is love. It may sound abnormal to say this that love is a festival but I truly believe it is. Because we human beings are so caught up in our daily life that we hardly celebrate what they call love.
Ever wondered, why is valentine so special? For many reasons is what I can say, for some it is remarked as a day when they first met, for some it is running back to the flashback of college days, for some it is celebration of togetherness, and for some it is just celebrating love.
Yes guys, love is a celebration, it is a feeling inside you which makes your world go around, it is that feeling that gets makes you want to run away from the situation at the same time face it, it is that feeling where you get chocked in the throat, but not because you are sad, rather because of the anxiety and excitement, it simply is a feeling of love.
So folks, when the season of love is awaiting us, what are we waiting for? And yes the answer is; for that perfect way to ask that someone special out. While for others it is the day where they are about to begin a new chapter in their life and this it is the peak of the love, where two souls unite and are put together in an institution what they call marriage. (Just to update you, my brother is getting married to his childhood bestie and now soon to be wife this valentine…I am so looking forward to a combo wedding with bong and Sindhi rituals!  J )
Well, coming back to this year’s valentine, all I can say is that I am all butterflies in the stomach right now. I know you are wondering why? Well, I am going to be proposing to my long time crush and also my college pal after 7 years of knowing him. They say love grows old and ages with time, which is truly what I believe in. Because this has really happened to me, I knew him (sorry I don’t want to disclose his identity); for the last 7 years, we were together from junior college days, and my liking for him grew only when time passed by. In the initial days, it was only talking to him, from there it moved on to hanging around together, further moved to that little (chintu – mintu liking); and now has come to a stage, where I feel confessing to him about my feelings feels the perfect thing to do! Only because they say, love is not a feeling to hide; rather let the world know that you are in love. And so, very literally is what I have taken these words…
So, I don’t want to keep you in further suspense and drag my story like a 3 hour Bollywood movie. I am going to cut this short and tell you my plans for him. Well I have planned it a little unusual as they, the very fact that me being the girl here is quite unusual for few, while it is not the same for me. I believe is equality in every aspect and so it should be in pouring out your feelings as well. And so I have planned to perform on this event which is a theatre performance in a renowned place in my city and with all assistance of my best friend (Aayushi), I am going to go up to the stage and propose to him in front of live audience. This will then be followed by my best friend calling him up on the stage and standing there beside me.I am already freaking out with the idea but as I said when in love; let the world know and so is what I have planned to do.
I am extremely nervous for this and at the same time, waiting to see his reaction, I hope things fall in place like I have planned and that my next Valentine is with him. So yes, this is my way of proposing my crush, which is going up there and getting up close to him and letting my feelings out this Valentine.

It’s just Quikr in Bangalore

This post is part of the IndiBlogger happy Hour campaign for Quikr 

Quikr…Quikr….The jingle hits my mind each time I think of something to do with reselling or purchasing goods which are at affordable price. Quikr is one of the leading E-commerce sites today for selling stuff from cupboard to wardrobe, from oven grills to refrigerator chills. One can trust the site for being genuine and affordable in every sense. Bangalore is the IT hub of our country and without a doubt I can make this statement; that everyone from little baby to the building granny is technology savy. It is indeed soon going to become the first city with Wi-Fi. 

So using the internet for every little thing is very common in the city and is the only reason why it names itself the production house of Information Technology.Today E-commerce has made our life so convenient that one does not need to walk that extra mile to acquire the household groceries and office printing and stationeries. 

So one finds it very easy to hop on to the internet and use it for purposes like selling old furniture or the retired tape recorder. And thanks to the latest developments with technology; that one can now have all of this done at the click of a button. I mean seriously could you even imagine getting a quote for your old tape recorder or the desktop that is lying in the wall storage.

Well, the answer to all your solutions is now Quikr. The one word will do wonders to your life. Just remember this one word as it is the problem to all your solutions and the only place which gives you the appropriate specifications.

 I personally recommend you to use Quikr for the wonderful experience it has given me and my family. Well I have a small experience to share with you, to justify how Quikr has been a blessing in every aspect. So, this involves my sister and my brother in law who shifted to Bangalore soon after marriage, as my brother in law was given an on- site opportunity with IT giant of the country – Infosys. We all had her set of apprehensions to this and my sister resisted this to an extent that she said she wants to stay back with us, however I wish such things were possible in our society.   

Moving ahead, with all apprehensions and resistance and of course with all elderly advice my sister and my brother in law decided to shift to Bangalore. In the initial days of shifting, my sister had to solely manage the house hold affairs and was much tensed about the entire thing. She kept ringing mom for every little thing that she had to purchase and was worried about the cost, as her expertise in this was nil. That is when Quikr entered our lives and made this tough transition; a smooth joy of ride. It was just while watching the television one day that the work Quikr struck the chord of my brain and I with all excitement rang up my sister and told her about it. She immediately decided to check for this on the Internet and found amazing deals for every household appliance that she wanted to purchase. 

The list grew from basic furniture to the refrigerator, from the coffee mugs to the soft bed jumps. And from that very day Quikr is a remedy to all our homely affairs. It has extended its popularity even to my mom now, as she uses it to sell of old and unwanted furniture and mixer. 

This is how Quikr has had an important and significant impact in our life, because a house can be purchased by giving those brokerage charges, but it requires that transition from being a house to a home; “Home sweet home”.


Thanks to Quikr for making this transition possible Quick! Do visit their site http://bangalore.quikr.com/
