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

Head on to: http://cokeurl.com/96jnc

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 7^th 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!
