#UseYourAnd

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 

http://bangalore.quikr.com/

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/
