i-genius Young Singing Stars II

Well, the event powered by Max Life Insurance was truly a big hit and totally amazing. Right from the organization of the event to the arrangement of participants and jury. The event was outstanding! The event known as the I Genius young singing starts season II was a great initiative by Max Life Insurance to promote talent and also recognize the talent on a public platform. The association of two large and renowned organizations coming together and organizing such events is a great boost to the young talent of our country.

Post the huge hit and success story of season I, the company planned to launch this event yet again and came up with season II to create yet another hit story. The programme attracted total of more than two lakh fifty thousand participants this year too across India and works as a great guiding source for children and young minds of the age group between 4-15 years. The organization of such events truly reflects the social responsibility of Max Life Insurance where they are ready to invest in talent and young minds of the future.

I personally loved and thoroughly enjoyed the performance of all the young dynamites who did an amazing job at this young age. The confidence level of these dynamites was sky high and clearly shows the talent our country has. Besides the jury was commendable with renowned members of our Industry like Salim Merchant and Shraddha Sharma. A big applause to the jury to make such a tough call and have winners in front of us, because it truly is a task to dishearten or judge among such young talents where all of them are amazingly outstanding.

To conclude my experience I would just say the event was a great initiative by Max Life Insurance and Universal Music India where they decided to promote the young talents and offered them a great platform for their first break.


Kudos to the young dynamites and an applause to Max and Universal!

Mc Cain Smiles

When it comes to the happiness of my loved ones, infinity is the limit till where I can reach or aim at reaching to ensure their happiness or a smile on their face. I am sure it is the same for all of us, as our loved ones and family is what we live for and love to do things for. I personally enjoy food, and considering the fact that I belong to a Sindhi family gives me the leverage all the more to say this that I am a Foodie. We are just born to eat. Trust me when I say that, for we mean every word of this. And well so the same passes on from one generation to the next in the family.

In my family I am closest to my younger sister and wish to give her all the happiness that she deserves and wish to fulfil every wish of hers, and so it goes without saying that she is the most pampered by me in every aspect, Be it Showroom shopping to Street Hoping, we do it all together. And so there is no exception to food. Food being our source of living or rather the only hope for living.

I would be more than willing to use a quick and rather easy method to get away with her demand when it comes upon me, given the fact that I am lazy too. But Nevertheless, I enjoy cooking for her some yummy and different food, which is not just yummy in taste but also healthy to the tummy. And well, I would use Mc Cain Smiles as a surprise snacks for her this weekend when she would get done with her Mid Term Exams. I am sure a smiley snack would get the smile back on her face, which has been lost in the books and the past few study weeks. I would team up the Mc Cain Smiles with a cheese dip, as she is a big time cheese lover, and can have the dip that I make with almost everything and so this is how I plan to give her a small surprise this weekend after a stressful exam week. This would definitely get a smile on her face, as she is a total foodie and would to be surprised by me, with something so delicious and yummy.


Well this is my way of getting a smile on the face of my younger sister, who means the world to me. I hope she keeps smiling like the smile the Mc Cain snack has. Please see the link below:

REAL TOGETHERNESS


The moment I hear the word togetherness, I think that the real essence of togetherness is lost in the modern society. Blame it on the mobile phones, laptops, IPad and the list goes on or blame it on the influence of the western culture that the entire concept of togetherness is lost.

There are hardly times when we think of having a get- together with family as we are so busy with work and our social life that we do not think it’s important to connect with family anymore. When I got an opportunity to pen down my thoughts on real togetherness, prompt came this idea of spending time with my family on some hill station in the arms of Mother Nature.

This in my opinion is a superb way in which we can all bond together and stay away from all the hustles of the city life and also when I tell this idea to my family I will make sure that everybody decides to keep their phones and all their gadgets back at home. I would strictly tell of them to not carry any of it as according to me it spoils the idea of togetherness. This is because we all get lost in the technological world and then we are not able to give time, and I mean quality time to each other.

Well, I plan to take this time of togetherness and so called vacation break this Diwali, where I plan to go away from the city lights and the artificial decorations, because I believe in celebrating this time with my family on a beautiful hill station, where the natural day light will be our Diwali lights and the bird songs will be the Diwali crackers. I personally am a nature loving person, and I believe there is nothing more beautiful than the beauty of the almighty.

We plan to go to this place with my family, where we will indulge in some fun activities that we never get a chance to do in our busy work schedules. Right from Mountain Climbing to River Rafting, it is all going to be part of our plan. The reason why we also chose Diwali as an occasion to take this trip is because, well we will live a society where we cannot afford of take vacations and leaves from work. And hence this time of the year felt the perfect time to do it. With my Mom’s home-made food to long night train travels it will all be a fun trip, where the real essence of togetherness and love will be cherished. Times like these always bring in more love and joy in the family where we truly connect to each other. Well, this is my little contribution towards planning a time of real togetherness with my family.

The Path of Zarathustra

Inspirational, well this was the first word that came to my mind immediately after watching the movie. The movie totally inspired me in every aspect. It took me back to history of Parsi’s. The real essence of Parsi religion and what does it comprise of. The movie was well directed and put across the aspect of depleting Parsi community in the world. It spoke about religion, which is a topic of debate in the modern world, where the younger generation do not believe in the old myths of religion and wish to believe in what they can read and rationalize with. The movie well serves the purpose for these youngsters to learn and understand the true inception of Parsi’s.
The start of the movie spoke about how this young girl living with her grandfather is away from all the worldly things and is wanting to live the rest of the life with her grandfather in a faraway village, away from all the motion and commotion of the world. As the movie unfolds, we see that the girl now moves to her aunt’s house in the busiest metro of our country, Mumbai. She does so, as she makes a promise to her dying grandfather, to get back to the world and find out more about the Parsi community and the religion. She comes to Mumbai, with this one book given to her by her grandfather, who promised her that the book will unfold itself once she is with the people she is supposed to be with, her own people, her community, and her religion.
Well, so on goes the story of this girl, where she meets different people and tries to question them more and more about religion. As she goes around meeting these people, the story explains the audiences about the few and most important pillars of the religion and its inception. The story also puts light to a few ancient day laws set by the Parsi community which need to be changed and removed in order to survive in the modern lifestyle. One such example was the marriage of Parsi woman in another religion.
And so, many such aspects were bought to light with the help of this movie. We could enjoy a nice tour to the lives of many Parsi’s out there by understanding their daily environment, the real essence of the fire temple and many more. In order to conclude I would just say that the movie did complete justice in explaining the Parsi community and its inception. It was well directed and all characters in the movie just fitted in well. In all it was a movie with great inspirational message to the audiences. Look forward to more great work by such young directors to inspire the youth of the country.

AIRTEL 4G


Who doesn’t like speed? Everybody likes and would like their work to get over faster so that they can have more time for leisure and to do other thigs of their choice. Don’t we all complete our office work quickly only so that we can go home sooner? The same applies for our mobile’s internet connection. Wouldn’t it be better to have our videos loading faster, our pictures downloading faster?

Well looks like Airtel has heard our prayers. Airtel has come up with 4G Network service which is tremendously fast.  Airtel 4G Network is the fastest network ever. Airtel is the first telecom company to launch 4G Network in India. A few other countries however even have access to 5G services but in India 4G is the latest and it is brought by Airtel. Abroad the internet speed is amazing. In a less than 10 minutes one can download a full movie, buffering of videos doesn’t exist there. It’s that good a speed but well now even India will be able to enjoy such a great speed. All thanks to Airtel for launching 4G services across 296 cities. This 4G service is available at the price of 3G.  Most of us these days are using 3G services. On our mobiles when we watch videos or surf the net and when the speed is slow don’t we all feel like putting it off and when it’s important then probably some start swearing and others cursing. So much can actually be done when we have a phone and a good internet connection. Right from booking a movie show, making video calls, watching a movie, downloading, finding out about a location, facebooking and what not? Videos are a lot of fun to watch but if there is a poor internet connection then they can be really torturous.

All said and done a 4G network is the best thing that can happen to us in this era of technology where even the vegetable vendors and the milkmen have mobile phones and an internet connection. Just yesterday I got to know that even my watchman is on Watchman (technology, technology)!

You should definitely get Airtel’s 4G services if you too would like to make your lives easier and better. I am definitely getting it. The best part is 4G services are available across 296 cities which ensures that no city in particular or rather most cities are able to enjoy this service. The next best part is that it is available at the price 3G so you don’t even have to pay a bomb to get this service. It is very easy to get 4G you can either tweet #GetAirtel4G or ask for a delivery of 4G sim at home.

I am sure to get 4G service and what about you?

Eat healthy and stay healthy

Eat healthy and stay fit. We hear or say this quite often but how many of us actually implement this? Eating right in order to stay healthy is very important. It is crucial that we eat good food and in the appropriate quantity that will help our body to stay fit and healthy at all times.

Easier said than done. These days everybody is so busy with work and other things that we happen to miss out on things like these which in the long run can affect our body system. Take for example the ban on noodles and Chinese food outside schools, all this while we knew that eating junk is unhealthy but we still continued eating. Only when we got to know that the MSG present leads to laziness and acts like a slow poison did we give up on that junk. Unless we are shaken up we did not realize the effect of junk food on our bodies.

We all just pick up food and eat it to fill our stomachs. We do not think about the long run effects it can have on our bodies. The trend amongst the college students is to pick up any food only for the sake of taste without thinking about whether it is good for you or not.

If we eat too much of junk food and too often we not only become lazy but also get tired very easily. Thus eating right is very important. The craze amongst young girls to become thin is a lot and that’s why many a times they take up crash dieting. Crash dieting can have adverse effects on once body. Our body is used to certain routine. It works like a machine, it similar to a machine needs food in certain intervals. Crash dieting is contrary to this need of the body. Crash dieting might show results for a meanwhile but ultimately it is bad for our body system.

Eating a balanced diet is the right thing to do. Avoid junk food and then you do not even have to take to crash dieting. A typical balanced diet would include- lots of fruits and vegetables, ample of water and juices, some amount of fatty food like cheese, etc. is needed too but in a little quantity. A healthy diet would probably include the use of honey instead of sugar i,e. a Honey Diet which would include use of honey instead of water would be the perfect thing to do.Eating brown bread in place of the normal and of course avoiding fried food and very oily food would do the right job.

By following a healthy diet we can make sure that we have the desired body (exercising also needs to be a part of your routine) and also this will guarantee us a happy and balanced future. Eat healthy and stay healthy is the formula for good living.

Cricket is one sport that is loved by people of all ages. Men and women both love watching the game of cricket. While the young boys get their hair cut their favorite cricketer's style, the girls stalk their favorite cricketer online. Not just that but also many love playing cricket matches on those chilled out weekends.

We all have different things to do and we are all somewhere or the other busy with our daily chores; some at work, some at home, etc. However for the things that we really like doing, we take out time and so is the case with cricket. The love for cricket in India is beyond words. You see people standing on the roads outside showrooms to watch the match, some even climb up to watch the game and I even know of people who take a day off to watch and support their favorite team.

We end up doing a lot to make sure that we do not miss out on our favorite match but it’s not always that luck favors us. I distinctly remember that there was this one match of IPL Punjab v/s CSK for which I had my eyes glued on the TV and not just that but I also had made arrangements for snacks. To my bad luck there was a power cut in my area. That’s when I quickly picked up the phone and called the Customer Care but they said that it would take them at least 2 hours to fix this. I really wanted to watch the match. That is when I decided to watch it online but thanks to poor internet speed on my phone I could barely see the field let alone be the ball and the cricketers.

I was forced to miss my match then. However the times have changed and for the good. Gone are those days when we have to wait for long for our videos to buffer. No longer slow browsing and no more surfing the net at the speed of tortoise. Here is a solution to put an end to slow browsing and buffering issues, it is UC Browser. This browser doesn’t just help you to surf all but also surf fast.
The UC Cricket feature on this browser helps one stay intact with the latest scores and the latest news about Cricket. One can also watch a match live on UC browser. No need to keep googling the score to stay updated, the feature has it all.

A good net speed is very important to make sure that you can watch your match and do your other stuff like socializing, etc. in peace but also what is important is a good browser. It saves on the cost and time both. UC Browser is one such browser.

Reliance Meet

The reliance retirement fund meet was held on the 6th of June. It was such a nice event. It taught me so many things that I used to take for granted in the past. We bloggers bonded well and took home not just memories but great learnings.

We learnt at the meet that saving is very important and also of the many ways through which we can save and grow our money. All this while we thought that we were to work for money but at the event we were taught as to how money can work for us.

There are so many ways in which we can save money. Right from fixed deposits at the bank to mutual funds and various other investment plans. The idea of the meet was to invest in one such plan that can help you secure your future.

There was also one calculator which helped us to understand the amount that we will need to save and what we saw was that on an average, going as per the current inflation rate somebody who spends 25000 a month will have to save a minimum of 3000 every month if he or she plans to retire at the age of 55 in order to retain the same lifestyle. So this requires planning. Planning for a better tomorrow.

It was a very informative meet as we got to know of the need to save money or rather invest money and make it grow for us.


Reliance meet taught us how we can actually grow money. Thanks Reliance J

VICCO Turmeric Cream




A good healthy skin is a blessing. It is truly a miracle to have a clean and a clear skin despite all the eating habits that people living a sedentary life have. However lately there is a lot that people do for their skin. Right from going to the Dermatologist, to hours of yoga and tons of face washes and creams and other such cosmetics.
Well nothing against any of those options you choose to get a clear skin but there is something that you must know about healthy skin. Although you can do a lot with your skin and maybe those cosmetics actually help to cover those marks and many even stop pimples from coming but all these solutions are temporary and also to mention these solutions pinch our pockets.
Due to changed eating habits and changes in the style of living pimples, boils, marks and redness is everybody’s concern. So what is to be done?
Yoga surely is the best thing that one can do. It gives internal peace and plays an important role in helping you get the body you desire and the skin that you crave for.
Also drinking lots of water and other cooling beverages like buttermilk, etc. is an age old formula and it always works. This is because majority of the pimples and boils are due to heat in one’s stomach.
Other natural home remedies that actually work are neem and turmeric. My Grandmother always kept telling me when I was a teenager that stop pricking your pimple and just put this turmeric paste that she made but I used to laugh it off and say that my face is not a vegetable so why do I put turmeric on it? Well but now that I see so many brands adapting natural means like neem, turmeric, fruit extracts, etc. I actually understand how correct my Grandmother was.
We Indians are known for Ayurveda. It is natural and hands down it is better than any of those cosmetic regimes. This is one permanent solution and the good part is it is not even expensive unlike the cosmetic products. It is the best thing that you can actually do for your skin. There is an age old brand ‘VICCO’ who has taken care of this need through VICCO Turmeric Cream which has goodness of Ayurveda and other natural extracts which will help you get the skin you want, clear and beautiful.
Besides using natural products one thing you should definitely do is take good care of your skin and this can be done by cleansing, toning and moisturizing as our skin needs constant nourishment. Cleansing and toning help to remove all dust and impurities and help you stay away from pimples and on the other hand moisturizing nourishes your skin.

Love in another religion?

 Love, what is the true meaning of the word. In the purest form what I understand it is to care for someone and to give your 100% for the person, it is unconditional in every manner. That’s how pure love is!

They say we must love one and all, we are taught this right from the time we are born. Love each and every creation of God, right from humans to animals to plants to the mother earth. Sorry, guess I forgot to add a clause there, did I? When it comes to loving humans, did I not mention in bold, love within your people. Confused aren’t you? So am I!

Folks we were taught this by our very own parents and teachers and all relatives, love humans, and hold no grudge or feeling of hatred against any, but why is that I still feel my parents did not mention the hidden clause when they explained this to me, or why didn’t they tell me love can happen only within the same community or in the broader aspect within the same religion. We say we have moved away from the religion bias society and that we are adopting the western culture, but somewhere deep down there, shake yourself and ask, have we really done that? Don’t we still have our jaw drop when we hear a Hindu neighbor marrying a Muslim? Or a Parsi marrying a Catholic? Why was the question even then and even now!

I was taught in school that we are all Indians, yes we have different religions and cultures in our country just to add diversity and not division within people of the same country. I was told for there is just one god in the world, and all I must do is still respect other religions for we are children of the same mother and just our style and methods of worshiping the god are different. Was this all just a lie? Have I spent 25 years of my life in a lie and living with people of dual standards?

I am ashamed today, as we humans are so selfish and so pathetic in our deeds that we are slowly killing humanity with religion bias. I asked my mother today, Mom what if I love someone who is from another religion, and a flat answer I get is no. the justification was its important you marry people who are your own and within your community, I immediately question back, Mom but I was told to only love, I was never told that there is a hidden clause to loving. To which I get a mock and she walks off, because I pissed her off.

Why can we not accept the fact that we are hypocrites and that we are dual standard individuals who can never think above religion and community. Love holds no value in this urban society where people are divided in the name of god and religion.

My question still goes unanswered, is loving in another religion acceptable?

Airtel App


We are living in the age of smartphones. We are living in that age where everything that we want and everything that we need can be obtained just by a single click. It is amazing to see the evolution. We started from barter went on to markets and now we are doing all our shopping online. Actually these days we don’t even need computers when we have mobiles. From our mobiles itself we can have access to everything that we want. The cherry to the cake are these applications that help you do all, well literally ALL your work.

There are so many apps that have come in. Here I am talking about this one app that you should definitely use if you are an Airtel Customer. It’s this My Airtel App. This application has it all. With the help of this application you can not only pay your bills but also manage your account. Keep a track of all the services that you have activated on your phone. Not just phone bills and phone services but this application helps you manage your DTH and Broadband services as well. Even if you are planning on buying a new connection or you are not satisfied with your existing plan, you can change it using the app.
Let’s talk about the three key features of the Airtel App:
 Airtel Surprises- I absolutely love surprises. My Airtel app has amazing offers for every bill whether prepaid or postpaid bill that’s paid.

 Payment of bills- No need to stand in those long queues to pay your bill, with My Airtel App one can simply pay their bill or recharge their phone through this amazing app. This feature is a major saviour in my case because I tend to forget my bill’s due date and there have been so many times that I have paid extra but not anymore.

Tracking of account usage and service requests- Since I am working I don’t not get the time to go to the store to get the required services activated and that is when this feature of the app comes handy. With this feature I can request for any service that I want and I can also deactivate as per my wish. I do not even need to call up the customer care every now and then for the same, it can all be done through the My Airtel App.

This is an amazing app. If you are an Airtel mobile user or Airtel broadband user or Airtel DTH user then you must download this app. It will help you manage all your accounts a lot easier. Also the offers are something that no sensible person would want to miss out on. Further the choice is yours :P

Ek Nayi League


Kapil Dev has made us all anxious about the Ek Nayi League. It is very different from all the leagues that we have heard of like EPL, IPL, etc. Well in both these if you play with all your heart you win, isn’t that true? We have all heard people saying play with all your heart you shall win, play with full determination and what not. However with this new league that Kapil Dev is to start it is different. He says that this one unlike the others is not to be played with your heart.
I am very anxious to know what this new league is all about. One thing that is certain is that there will be a lot of celebrity talks happening in the show. We have the very legendary Kapil Dev to do this show, it is sure to have a lot of celebrities. It goes without saying that it will be too much fun to watch this show because when they are celebrities there is a lot of entertainment.
I am wondering what the format of the show can be? It says that you will be bowled out if you play with your heart. I think it could be this show where Kapil Dev would call big celebrities and make them do things that they haven’t done before, by that I mean different from the things that they are famous for. Like imagine Dhoni cooking, Sanjeev Kapoor playing cricket, Saina boxing and Marry Kom playing badminton. They surely won’t be using their hearts there because their roles would be interchanged. Cricket is not something that Sanjeev Kapoor masters at and cooking might not be Dhoni’s genre. It would be fun to watch them play reverse roles. Similarly for Saina Nehwal and Marry Kom. We get to see cricketers in advertisement and acting also of late but we don’t get to see them in cooking shows or dancing shows or singing for that matter.
The Indian audience is pretty crazy, no offense intended. If we love something or someone we go mad about it. We want to know all about it. We want to know more about it and a format like that would be catering masses. Picking up celebrities from the field of cricket, tennis, swimming, boxing, dancing, cooking, etc and reversing their roles to watch how they play when they don’t play a sport or do a thing that has got their heart would be hell lot of fun in my opinion.
I really want to know what Kapil Dev has in store for us. This new league is trending on twitter. This new league is making everybody wonder what it is going to be all about. I too really can’t wait to know what it is going to be about.

The Power of Two

Together we can and together we will, haven’t we all heard of this saying? There is no fun in doing things alone. When you have somebody with you who is as crazy as you, it’s a totally different experience altogether. Well not always are we lucky enough to find somebody who is just like you but I have been fortunate in this case.

Together with someone you can achieve a lot more than what you could have alone. A companion, a friend or a mentor is needed by one and all. The power of two can change a lot of things, it can make anything #TwiceAsNice.

Say if are to go to mall wouldn’t we like we got the bag that we liked from Gucci along with that top from Zara? Wouldn’t we like to have some Coke with Pizza? Together with something is always better. It makes that thing twice as nice. In this case bag and a top would make for a complete attire and the latter for a complete meal. Now do you see the power of two?

I have had this amazing opportunity of collaborating with my blogger friend to review the Garnier range which when used together are #TwiceAsNice. Having my blogger friend to write this article with me is precisely twice as nice. It’s an exchange of ideas and thoughts. Thus you can see how from a lucid post that either one of us would have written, this one has become a fun one. (Sorry if you don’t agree but we did try :P)

The two products of that we received as a part of the range are-
Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Active Exfoliating Face Scrub with real apricot extracts and Garnier Skin Naturals Pure Active Purifying Face Wash with real neem extracts. On using the two products, both us of us exclaimed Wow! Within the very first week of using this product we could feel the difference in our skin. Well, more like the power of two had worked and proved that twice is always better yet again. The apricot scrub did the work of smoothening and making our skin to glow. On the other hand the neem extracts in the face wash very well helped to wash away germs and remove excess oil and thus keeping our skin healthy and beautiful. Garnier has always had a reputation of TAKING CARE as they say and yet again with this amazing combo of the scrub and face wash they took care.

SMART PHONE IT IS!

When it comes to technology, I personally believe one must never compromise or rather never settle for less. Well I have many reasons in support of this, the primary reason being any technology one takes or plans to take is always for a purpose, and hence the purpose must be well accomplished by the use of that particular technology. Yet another reason for using the best technology is because guys it is a possession, and one must always possess the best things and hence in all support I say one must never compromise while purchasing technology. Now comes the reason for all this technology advice, well today I am to discuss about the features of our very own and indeed one of the most amazing smart phone of its kind, which is the Asus Zenfone 2. I am sure none of your new to the name and to the fame of the Asus Smart Phone and this time Asus has crossed all levels of competition and introduced a smart phone which rank it to be the first smart phone in the world with 4GB RAM, which makes Zenfone 2 highly competitive and makes it stand out in the market of smart phones, with yet another excellent feature to its kitty the Zenfone 2 charges the battery with great speed compared to the other smart phones. In the era where phones are utmost important to the people the Asus Zenfone 2 makes a perfect fit with its high speed battery charging feature. With growing use of phones for almost every little thing, the smart phone solves the purpose by offering an amazing battery charging feature.

Yet again, the Zenfone 2 is a unisex phone with no special preference given to any particular gender or age, the smart phone is a sleek piece which is clearly seen by the way the phone looks, and it is a 3,9mm thin edge phone which makes it look really sleek and classy for use. And hence I say that the phone is not partial to any gender, as it offers a look which is perfect for all. This is not all for all the people who travel long distance to work daily and can’t do away with their gaming habit, here comes the Asus Smart phone which offers one an amazing gaming experience, in fact a gaming experience which is 7 times faster than its processor, and this is possible as the Asus Zenfone 2 is powered by a 64 – bit Intel Atom processor which enables the phone to work faster and offers great experience to its users.


And last on my list but not the least is the camera of the smart phone. Well camera is extremely important for me as a user as I live in the generation where Facebook, Instagram and snap chats are my friends and hence I need that extra excellent camera quality to help me survive in the world of selfies. And to this the Zenfone 2 is no disappointment, the company had well taken care of this feature by offering 13MP Pixel Master Camera, which helps capture high quality photos with no shutter lag. It gives brighter pictures without the use of the flash even in low light or in the night. 

Now isn’t this all amazing, one can now get the best of all features in just one smart phone, now this is what I truly call a smart phone. Thanks to Asus for having taking care of the users and their demands in all aspect. The Asus Zenfone 2 truly has redefined the standards of a smart phone in this era of technology.

Nakhare Wala Nashta

Nakhare Wala Nashta it is for me at Guptaji’s place. Well I am
a food lover and I can eat almost at any time of the day without any regrets of
putting on those extra calories. I am a person who loves food to an extent that
I can literally get into an argument or fight with someone for my food, well
that is how crazy I am about food. Being a food lover is no harm and one must
appreciate all types of food, as it is a creation of someone genius for sure,
and what better way than having to eat it! With the fact of accepting the title
of being a food hogger and Bukhad as they call me sweetly in my group, I must
also accept that I ensure that eat some healthy food as well. As much as I much
and die of junk food and all the road side food, I also ensure I give my body
the required nutrients by enjoying and relishing on some healthy food. Be it my
early morning breakfast or my evening time snacks, I ensure I take on to some
healthy food.

My idea of food has always been having spicy yet tasty food
and hence my preference and my selection or rather to say it in a better
manner, to self-invite myself to Gupta Ji’s place would be to have the Nakhre
Wala Nashta. Well now this sounds so much like me and matches so well to my
personality as well. That is just one reason for me to go to Gupta Ji’s place
but rather the most important one is because the recipe of the Nashta has all
the ingredients that I love the most. To name the Nakhre Wala Nashta better, we
call it the Chapatti Cornflakes Chivda. I am not at all a sweet lover and hence
I completely love this one. The Chapatti Cornflakes Chivda has a proper mix of
all spices like the green chilli, adding to the flavour are the mustard seeds, along
with some curry leaves. Well to add on to the yummy recipe are peanuts and
fried daria dal, which also ensure good health nutrients. Peanut gives the
cornflakes a crisp and some spice to the recipe. This cornflakes is a perfect
combination of having some healthy meal and also ensuring that your taste buds
are not upset with the regular and boring meals. To add on the recipe is the
fact that it has chapatti included in the cornflakes, which makes it filling
and healthy at the same time and also helps me stay away from mu junk food diet
for a pretty long time. Well, I am eagerly looking forward to enjoy this recipe
at GuptaJi’s place. I totally recommend you all to try it as well, also don’t forget

HAPPINESS IS FOOD


Happiness is equivalent to Food! Amused are you? Well don’t be, I am a food lover and honestly there is nothing more than food that can make me happy. When I saw this on Indi blogger this morning, that one needs to share their story of happiness or things that bring happiness, I had a million thoughts in my mind first, right from my little nephew to playing badminton, to cycling to partying with friends but then if I really had to rethink on this, I instantly thought to myself, every time I am out, what do I enjoy doing the most or what is that I cannot resist. And then the brain struck its correct chord and promptly came the answer, food it is!

Yes, truly it is for me, I love food and it brings that million dollar smile on my happiness that probably no one can do. I mean, when I am upset, I like to go out and eat so that I am refreshed and with some good food in my tummy I can get away with the bad mood zone. Yet again when I am
happy, I crave for some more happiness and then I think of food again.  Because happiness is nothing if you don’t enjoy a good meal. Yet again, when I am out with family, be it any occasion family 
get together or wedding celebration or just random birthdays, it is the food that is ultimately that satisfies me in every manner. Honestly every time I am invited for a wedding or a birthday party, the very thought of food gets me excited and there comes a spontaneous reply, I am in for this!

Well, I am food lover as I mentioned earlier and be it any food, from junk to home food, I and my tummy are happy with the fact that we are going to be energized with some good food. To be more honest, I enjoy the road side junk food, right from enjoying that plate of pani puri in the lane below my house, to having a burger with my little sister and also I must mention, I have to bear her boring long conversations of college, not that don’t give her a download of my office gossips. :-p

Be it a long chat with my dear friends or just normal bitching conversations, it is always food that has constantly been part of my life and my journey and hence considering all loyalty food has showered upon me, I hereby declare food to be my soul partner and declare it with a winner award for ultimate happiness in my life. Food you have been the best thing in my life and I truly thank you for being a reason for bringing that smile on my face, in good and bad times.

HAPPY HAIR WITH GARNIER

Well Guys, here I am writing this post with a feeling which says; Happy Hair. I am sure you all are wondering, as to why I say that today. So well here is the answer to your questions; Garnier Triple Nutrition it is. Well Garnier promised to take care and it has truly lived up to the promise of taking care of my hair.

So, here is how it all started, I took up this challenge by Garnier, which very well promised to help me get rid of all my hair worries. To give you all a quick brief, my hair is on the curly side, and with curly hair there come certain unwanted guests, like dryness, split ends and frizzy hair. I have always struggled to manage my hair and get them in shape. In fact every time I went to the salon, I was always told to cut down on the length to avoid split ends, sometimes to an extent that I have pleaded to the hair stylist to cut minimum length.
Honestly, nothing has really worked on my hair, from cutting off my split ends to changing shampoos to oil application, nothing has worked on my hair and I have always disliked my hair. Although people say I have the best curls, but there is a lot of serum and ironing that goes behind maintaining them.

So, well this is my story of my hair and when I got to know about the Garnier challenge, I was not quite excited, as many brands have promised the best results but there has been no respite. So I took this up like any other challenge and bothered little. It was only after 15 days of application of the amazing shampoo and conditioner that I noticed some positive results. I personally felt that my hair was smoother and manageable.

With absolutely no application of serum and no dryers, I felt my hair was still in place. I was amazed to see these results and went on using the shampoo and here I am today, after using Garnier for a good 3 weeks writing my review about the amazing product. Let me tell you Garnier has lived up to the promise and has made my hair so beautiful that I am totally in love with them.
I now feel my hair is stronger, with very little hair fall, which I blame on the pollution in the city. I see no split ends and tough and dry hair, in fact my hair shines and just recently when I was out with my friends I was complimented for the amazing smell and style of my hair. I do very little now and yet my hair is in place, it feels good.

All thanks to garnier, I am now able to get away with the heating machines which have left my hair damaged. On the contrary my hair is now well kept and I can now see the styling done on my hair. My hair has natural curls which are well prominent and look beautiful. I really take this opportunity to thank Garnier for doing this to my hair and making my hair happy hair.

Garnier you truly took care!

WE ARE TOGETHER IN THIS JOURNEY

How easy it is to be optimistic? How easy it is to always be all positive and to be all happy? What does it take to take all things positively? Life is a learning curve. Life has various lessons to teach. It is for us to learn from life, it is for us to embark the good things that life has to offer us. It for us to learn from our mistakes and come up every time there we fail.  It is we who have to learn that failure is a stepping stone to success and we have to rise each time we fall. We need to understand that every day brings up a new challenge and a fresh start. One must make the fullest use of life. We need to take every aspect with pride and optimism. We need to learn the art of never giving up, of positivity and of optimism from life.

 This is my story of optimism. It is about how my sisters give me a hope to achieve and live or rather realize my dream.
My sister have always been there for me and this goes in the toughest of times as well. She in the true sense has always been with me through my thick and thin.
 I had failed in my prelim test for my boards. I wanted to keep quiet and bury the facts. I didn't want anybody at home to know about this because I thought they would look down at me and maybe even make fun of me. I didn't want to have that failure tag attached to me, no that’s not how I liked it.
My sister noticed that I was upset and she made earnest efforts to ask what it was. Initially being afraid of what example I was setting for my younger sister my failing in an examination, I didn't open up. She then recited to me a self-made story about her being in trouble and wanting me to intervene. That is when I could not resist and wanted to help her in all means. That is how she allowed me to let my heart down to her. I also shared about my school results with her. I told her about how I had failed. She didn't make fun of me, she didn't even think that I was setting a bad example for her. She instead inspired me to face the problem and work on it rather than shying away. She told to me that by shying away from my failure, I was setting a wrong example for her and not by failing.
It is because of my little sister that I not only cleared my board exams but also ranked first in school, I got placed in a good MBA college and now I am a banker and a correct example that I wanted to be.

The learning is to deal with the problem #together and not to hesitate in sharing with the one you trust. Today I share all my day to day expressions with her and she does the same.

START A NEW LIFE

Head on to - https://housing.com/in

Change is what some call it. Way of living is what I refer to it. I think and I strongly believe that changes are good and they are crucial. One cannot expect to lead the same kind of life, irrespective of how much they love it all their life. There are times when they have to or rather they will to need to break through all the walls and all the boundaries that surround them and lead a new life. A life that they want to lead. A life that is care free. A life that they wish to lead with their set of principles and their set of rules.

So here is a glimpse of how I was as a kid and to what I have grown up to be. With constant remarks from people around telling me that I have changed and my way of living is not right or rather not something that the society can accept. As a kid I was very attached to my mother. Attachment is good but over attachment can make you weak and to have your greatest strength (your mother) turn into a weakness is not how I wanted my life to shape up. So with a very heavy heart I decided to join boarding in the 7th standard. Everybody in the family and also all the relatives thought it was not going to work and I would return the very next day as I had not stayed without my mother even for a single day.


But well I did stay. Not just for a day but for years together. Away from the comforts of my house. Away from my beloved family and away from my mother, my everything. This changed me as a person. I grew up to be a stronger and a more confident person. Initially I did miss my mother but later I learnt to live without her. This was the first bold move of my life. Next big thing that I did was finding a job away from home. So well after my high school, I returned back home. Away from home doesn’t necessarily mean away from heart, right? So of course the love for my mother and everybody else in the family was still a lot. I did my college and finally when it came to placements, I chose to move out. I chose to move to a better city, with a better prospects. I choose to move to Bangalore from my city of residence- Ujjain. Everybody in the family objected this, my mother too. She said that she didn’t want me to go because the society would think that it’s the boarding that has changed me and I was supposed to be the girl who would stay back home and cook and do all the household chores and not move out of the city like this. But I chose the latter and with a lot of pride I can say that was my #StartANewLife.

Pampers Baby Dry Pants for happy mornings

Here’s a thought often
we hear want we want to, what is loud but who really cares of the unsaid or
speechless.


Ever since I saw my
sister’s birth I thought to give her the best, all the comfort.
When I saw her laugh
that earned me thousands, it is priceless, but tears in her eyes turned my
world upside down, I can’t just see her cry. When at play when hungry when sleep
all meant a lot.
I did all that called
for to ensure her be healthy and happy but what went unnoticed was when she was
at sleep and so was the family I had made a promise to resolve that.

She cried because she
was not at ease, I could feel the pain then and that is how a mother is,
although I am her sister by relation and laws of society but in the true sense I
feel I am a mother to her, for I have bought her up and felt the pain, when she
has been in pain. I have danced with joy when she has danced with happiness. I still
remember when she was young and cried in the night, with the discomfort she
faced due to wetness. It is important that a child sleeps well, because only
then the morning of the child is happy and joyful. It helps the child be active
and playful. A healthy and playful child catches attention of all and as a
mother it is your duty to ensure that your child is always joyful and happy.

A night’s sleep
ensures that the child is up fresh and hence any discomfort in the night causes
the child a lot of discomfort and makes the child very cranky. If the child is
unhappy, ultimately the mother and the whole family is at unease. Early to bed,
and early to rise makes the man a healthy man and makes the man wise, the same
applies to the child, it makes the child healthy and wise and allows the child
to be by himself or herself.

A happy child brings
happiness to the home and makes the home bright and lively. Hence the child
must be well taken care of. To avoid any infections the child must be well
taken care of especially with the hygiene of the child. Nowadays there are a
lot of infections and diseases and with this it becomes very important to
ensure that the child is not sleeping in any discomfort especially in the
night. Therefore I totally agree and go by pampers which helps my child sleep
well and also ensures that my child is away from any infections and diseases. Because
a healthy child bring happiness to the home.

OPTIMISM

Optimism the word it is! I have heard it from one and all, all my elders, all my friends, my peers; they always said be optimistic in life, it will help you progress. Well to be very honest I never understood the true essence of the word then and took it very casually, until recently when I came across things in my life which changed me and made a different person altogether. Folks, let’s face it we have all gone through rough patches in our life and one learns a lot during these situation. At least for me personally I have learnt a lot and one of the most important things was being optimistic. One must never give up easily in life, the true meaning of this phrase is only understood and applied by few of us in life and trust me you, this motivation and attitude of never giving up and being positive in life will take you miles ahead in life.

We have all been through failures, through hard times and through situations where we have wanted to give up on life and living completely, but a true winner or a true victory is in not coming out of these situations rather it is on how you face it and how you deal with it and hence here I am today openly saying it with the expression of my words; Be Optimistic!

Let me share with you a small incident that has made me believe in living my life with more and more optimism and positive attitude. Recent enough it was, when we all building friends gathered and planned for New Year’s Eve, we went partying like all youngsters do and so we were enjoying the most of the last few hours of the year 2014. Our happiness turned into sorrow within no time. Well it happened so that one of my friend got a call from her mother and so she decided to step out and talk to her, given the loud music she could barely hear her mother on the other side of the phone. While she walks out of the dance floor, she hurriedly rushes to the exit of the room to avoid her mother from long hold, while she rushes to the exit, she missed the staircase or rather did not notice the staircase and comes crashing down on the floor. The very next moment the bouncers come to her rescue and the hotel manager enquires about her relatives, we are in utter shock and move ahead only to see my dear friend in a pool of blood. She is unconscious now and we are speechless. We rush her to the nearby hospital and after few days of being hospitalized we realize that my dear friend will never be able to hit the dance floor again, nor will we ever be able to see her lovely moves again, for she will never be able to be on her own two feet in life again.

Well, we all had no words to this and avoided being besides her for quite a few days only to help her get away with the trauma but we were wrong, it was us (we friends who were weak) and coward who could face her. As she was ready to live her life again and never gave up because of this incident. She is now on wheel chair and does everything and every activity that we people do, who have all limbs in place. She drives her own car and in fact drives us for long drives to marine drive. Her positive attitude is what makes me so strong and every time I look at her or meet her, I feel more optimistic. She is in true sense a living example of an optimistic individual and a person who can motivate. She motivates me and makes me a stronger individual every time we cross paths. Her smile and struggle both bring in optimism to my life. The way she makes that effort to smile and remain so positive even after having to face such hardships at such young age, make me optimistic. She is my true inspiration and motivation for living an optimistic life.

APNO KO APNE DUM PE JEENA SIKHAO

One comes alone and goes alone from this world. So is the
law of nature they say and I truly abide by it, because I am no different and
my family is no different. Today, I am at an age where I feel I am independent
not just financially but also in every other aspect. Your parents are always
the backbone you need to rely on and who nurture you with those values and
upbringing of becoming self-reliant. It is no different for me and I truly
believe that my mother has been that one inspiration in my life who has been
rock solid and has guided me in every decision of my life, which has now made
me capable of becoming a person of substance or rather a woman of substance.

I am sure most of us relate to this and made find it quite
common when I say that my mother has been my guide, my mentor and my inspiration,
but it has been different for me and I can explain this well. My mother has
bought me up solely and has been a single parent, in such a situation one can
imagine the compromises and struggle she has gone through, but hold on that
struggle never passed on to me or rather she was there like a rock preventing
me from all the problems and giving me shelter.

From my education to my working, she always let me take my decision
at the same time ensured she guided me well where I went wrong. My education
was difficult considering my finances but the passion for studying never died
inside me. I went on from graduation to post graduation to further doing my
MBA. The credit for this solely goes to my mother for she let me live with my
passion and ensured it was well nurtured. It is very recently that I completed
my MBA and now am preparing for my Doctorate Degree. For I said my mother was
the reason behind this. I questioned her one day, the reason why she allowed me
to keep in touch with academics and never stopped me, she was sobbing and
replied that you live my dream and when you study and do well I feel the satisfaction
and proud within me, as you live my dream. She could do that because she made
the correct financial decisions and made enough savings for me to pursue my
interests.

Today, when she sees me starting my research, she feels
proud and I feel immense satisfaction from within, for this is what I always
wanted to do. I am pursuing my Ph.D now and I thank my mother for this, because
without her support I would not be what I am today and she made me independent
enough to settle my myself in another country altogether. She lead me through a
path and then let me figure out the roads myself, because it is each one’s
individual journey and we need to find our way on our own. My mother made me
self-reliant. Thank you mom!

HAPPY HAIR ?

Tried it all, nothing works, for my hair refuses to budge! Like most girls, even I have issues with my hair, to an extent that I sometimes feel going bald. My hair has always been on the rough and dry side, with of course split ends adding to it. And to be very frank I have never liked my hair, because it has never liked me either.

I suffer from the bad hair day’s problem very often, so often that it occurs almost 2 -3 times in a week, and with no option left I am forced to tie my hair into a bun. Bun, makes me feel older than my age and I hate it when people say; leave your hair open. It is only me from within who understands what it is to leave my hair open.

I wish I had hair, which was easy to manage or at least god enough to let them stay away from a closed knot. I wish I did not have to waste hours in the salon to get that perfect hair do and that a breeze would wipe them all away. All I wish I had hair that would bounce in the air, with no split ends like dead roots of a tree and that my friends never teased me of not being able to set them free.
Well I have a wish list and I hope someday it comes true with Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition.
                                                                                                                                                
No to Spilt ends                                                                                                                                         No to Dry Hair
No to Frizzy Hair

I am all set to revive my hair and am hoping to have my wish list dream come soon. Garnier Fructis Triple Nutrition will help my hair take the challenge and renew it to the hair I always wanted. 

All I can say is that Garnier will take care!

HAPPY MORNINGS

A child’s joy is a mother’s joy, a child’s pain is a mother’s pain and so when a child is uneasy or not comfortable it is the mother who struggles to ensure that the child is made comfortable. As a mother your child is utmost priority and especially when the child cannot speak and it is only the actions of the child that make you understand what the child wants. A mother understand best what the child needs and hence this is yet one of the most important and crucial things that a mother needs to take care of.


A child’s good night sleep makes the child wake up fresh and active. I am sure we all like it when our children our full of life and active. And the credit to this goes to the mother. A mother’s up bringing and care is seen in the child’s behavior. If a child is happy and dancing it is the mother who has ensured to keep the child comfortable in the night and ensuring that the child has had a good night sleep.

From reading out stories to singing the lullaby, we as mothers have done it all for our children and always strive to do more for their happiness. I as a mother have always believed in giving my child the best of everything and I believe in absolutely no compromise for my child’s health.
When I speak about health it starts with the basics that a child needs, which is also one of the most important one that is ensuring that the child’s diapers are changed in proper time and that he has to face no inconvenience for any such issue. This becomes more important in the night, because during the day a mother is there all active to see what the child needs, but we as humans are no super beings and a mother is no exception, she also requires that good night rest to be running around the child all day long.

Pampers are the ones doing the work of a mother, while a mother is sleeping. A good diaper not only ensures that the child is able to sleep well but also ensures that the child’s health is well taken care of and that the child is not falling prey to any kind of illness and diseases.

At a young age, children are generally prone to infections soon and ensuring that the child does not fall prey of such infections, a mother must keep the child well and take care of his or her hygiene. With pampers, I believe a mother can do that and ensure that the child is healthy. Pampers helps your child get that proper sleep and stay away from any infections. It also helps your child enjoy a comfortable sleep with no tension for wetness and irritation to the baby soft skin.

As a mother, I truly believe in keeping my child healthy and hence I believe that pampers does the work for me and helps my child enjoy a good sleep and wake up fresh in the morning.

MY HEART PAINS


When I write this today, it of out of the pain and anxiety that my heart has from within and of course with a feeling which carries tons of emotions. You call it an emotional outburst or call it my way of dealing with things, I pen down my thoughts, because that is my way of letting go off things.

I was at the sea side this evening, with my family when I come across this small little girl, who is barley 2 and her sweet and innocent voice has got my attention, she screams out to me to buy the books that she is selling. I am zapped and look at her again, this time with more alertness and more closely, a 2 year old girl, well dressed, is selling books that she is ideally supposed to have and play with and design her thoughts upon. The cartoon characters that I was exposed to at her age, she is selling that only so that she can have a meal for one time, and I instantly decide to buy all her books. She runs to her mother and gives her the money. I wish to go up to her mother and question her for putting the young girl to such a painful childhood, yet I hold myself back, with the thought that there is little that we can do to give her proper meal for 2 times and that her mother is only doing so to ensure her survival and her daughter’s survival.

My eyes cannot move away from her, when I see her taking the ice cream cup from the dustbin and yet her eyes full of innocence gaze blankly at the candy shop. Her mother yells out to her; Ameena come back here and that little girl in all her innocence still holds on to the door of the candy shop. My heart felt the pain today, when I realized my pain is so little and so small in front of little ameena. I wish life was so easy and wish I could do more for her. I cannot sleep is all I can say, as the young girl is on my mind from the time she called out to me “Didi, please book le lo”….

My heart pains today!

QUIKR NXT


Quikr, it is! The one word to all your worries, you wonder why I am saying that. Well because Quikr is here, there and everywhere. From shopping to matrimony looking, from education to the gadget addiction, Quikr has its wings spread across and like a branch of a tree, Quikr is also here, with different features and different benefits to offer to each one of us. 

I have been using Quikr for quite a while now and also recommended the same to my family members, especially my Mother.I remember how upset she would get, each time we would call the local scrap dealer to our place to take away the old radio and video recorder sets, from old laptops to cupboards. She always used to get disheartened with the price the dealer would quote and very conveniently would say “Mam, this is all a waste now, what will you do with this, this price is fine”; with a very heavy heart my mother would discard the stuff and then later crib about how we gathered money to buy it then and now are selling it for dirt cheap price. 

All thanks to Quikr, my mother is now content with posting ads online and getting appropriate deals for the products that she wishes to discard. Off late she has also learnt to post my images on matrimony services offered by Quikr; (I wonder, why did I make her so tech-savy; or rather was it her strategy to learn all this and one day post me online :-P) 

So guys Quikr is a loyal and the most royal site that me and family have been using. I am sure many of you out there agree with this.And to add to the brand loyalty and increase its popularity, Quikr has come up with more features to woo its consumers and add to the list of new customers. Quikr is now here with a great feature, which is the Quikr NXT. I am all excited to use this feature of Quikr and experience what the company has to offer. But before I even use it, I genuinely want to applaud Quikr for its great initiative and going that extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction and on the competitor front a global transformation. Way to go Quikr, you truly deserve an applaud for this one! I am sure you all are question mark on this, as to why am I so content with this new initiative of Quikr, well folks I have all the valid reasons to and here is how it goes.

First and indeed the most impressive one, is that Quikr NXT gives you that option to ensure you have your privacy well maintained and that your number is not public to all creatures. This one is my personal favorite, especially being the counterpart of the males, this particular feature has given me that extra security that I need, to ensure I don’t have people calling and harassing me unnecessarily.

Next on my list is the Quikr Chat history, this one yet again deserves to be the second on my list. 
With growing work pressure and hardly any time to yourself, does one really get a chance to remember or recollect what conversation you have had with the callers whom you contact on Quikr. I am sure none of would have such a sharp memory or rather at least I don’t and I am thankful to Quikr NXT to listening to my plea. With the option of chat history I can now have access to price quotes and all chat conversations that I have had. I love this feature.

Last on my list, is the option that Quikr has given you or rather made you in position of power by enabling the Chat feature, is that you can contact buyers or sellers at a time of your convenience or rather from anywhere, because I am sure one can secretly chat even in the meeting room but will be questioned, if on a call outside the room. And so, with the Quikr NXT I can now contact my dealers on the move, without having those long conversations and increasing my phone bill.

These are a few of my personal favorite features of Quikr NXT. I would urge you all to stop getting fooled by your local scrap dealers, because they are doing you no good and with Quikr NXT at least it’s all good.
