Let's impart togetherness in our kids

The idea of bliss in life comes from the fact that we all whether consciously or just naturally are driven by a force called “togetherness” – the prime example of which is that of the nature and the human being, which come together and create the world around us. Without nature, we as humans can’t exist and we shall not be able to find the purpose of life, should it not be for the nature which selflessly provides us the way of living life.

Nature in it’s essence is what drives our life. From something as basic as food to something as important as fresh air that we breathe, without nature – we’re bound to feel helpless.

I remember my grandfather teaching me how nature is our best friend and we shall in return, give something back to the “mother earth”. I must be just 5 years old when he said this but I still remember.

I remember my grandfather used to tell time by just looking at the rays of the sun, he could also tell whether it’ll rain today or not, he was so close to the nature that for him – the animals around the house were a part of his daily routine, he’d take care of the cows and the buffaloes and if for instance, a cow fell sick – it would refuse to eat but when my grandfather would go and feed it, the cow NEVER refused.

Which tells us that the real togetherness does not simply exist between just humans but supersedes between human and animals/humans and nature.

The teachings from nature are so simplistic that we often overlook it but it’s a fact that in our day to day life, we get to experience the real “togetherness” in nature. A bird preparing nest for it’s unborn child, a dog searching food for it’s puppy, two flowers merging and creating a new flower – this in the true sense is the togetherness in nature.

We need to realize as humans that for the nature that gives us so much, we must as well work together with nature and overcome it’s problems. Problems such as pollution, which is destroying the very nature that is keeping us “together” – is it an unjustified demand!

It’s time that we overcame the world of facebook and teach our kids about creating a relationship with the nature and nurturing it for our future generations. After all, nature is what we have borrowed from our future generations.

With the Diwali coming and the air pollution to be at it’s peak  - let’s pledge that we shall save the nature this Diwali and celebrate by giving something back to the nature. Hey, how about planting a tree!

It’s time to impart these values in our kids so that they can instill the same in theirs and create a much more stronger nature and give the apt definition to “real togetherness”.

Airtel 4G : For the professional, for the youngster

http://www.airtel.in/4g/

For a 50 year old that has spent majority of his life without the inventions like the computer and the mobile, being told about the internet technology on mobile about 3 years back was something that amazed me and shocked me – because 1) when internet came on computer it was in itself a revolution and now 2) the same technology on a 4-5 inch screen was absolutely stunning.

I had to use the technology first to believe that it actually existed and was efficient. About 3 years back when I tried the 2G technology, it sure was good but it lacked in the speed that one would desire on a mobile while travelling and especially on an office tour where being upto date with office mails was easier on laptop, for me at least.

Gradually when the 3G technology came about, it got a little more convenient and I was able to connect myself more with this technology, the emails were easier to use and not having to wait for the pages to load was certainly an add-on benefit and a whole new experience as a user. But still, sometimes, the speed lacked and I thought to myself – can think get any better! For someone like me who uses internet for office purposes, trying to learn while on the go and typing crucial official documents while sometimes in the airplane itself and sending them just after landing – can the internet technology get more faster!

FINALLY, Airtel has come up with an answer – YES. The Airtel 4G network ensures that now you need not to wait for pages to load, mails to be read, videos to be seen (bye bye buffering).

By profession, I’m a motivational trainer and a trainer, it’s my passion to hear speakers from all around the world speak about their life and motivate people. I’ve the habit of watching these videos while I’m in the air, on an office trip – you learn and also the time passes by.

BUT, I usually had to load up these videos on my pen drive and watch them, even when I was in the car on at a hotel.

NOW however, I can easily use Airtel’s 4G technology and watch videos on youtube without any buffering. Not only this, I can even download these videos if I wish and the download speed will be so efficient that I need not wait for the download to finish – say for around 3-4 hours.

You can make a fair assessment of the speed, comparing it to it’s predecessor – that is 3G technology, it was fast so wonder how fast will the 4G technology will be!

Uses like –

1)      Watching videos on the go

2)      Downloading your favorite movies

3)      Reading through different websites on the go

4)      No more awaiting for pictures to be load up

AND AND AND so much more.

The Airtel 4G technology is for both – the professional and the youngsters. A technology that is set to change the way we see, breath and live the internet.

Dabur Honey : your daily dose of happiness

I remember that when I was a small boy, my mother used to give me water in which honey was mixed – I used to ask her “why this”? And she used to reply that it’s very healthy for you. A few years later when I grew up and put on some weight due to sitting job and no proper timing of having lunch/dinner and not being able to exercise, she gave me the same thing but this time, mixed lemon in it. I again asked her “why this” and she said “it’s ideal to lose weight”.

We often talk about the “ghar ka nooshka” and honey mixed in water with a drop of lemon, taken every morning is IDEAL for health and for those, whose ship of getting unfit has already shipped (believe me, we’ve all been there), the continuous frustrating attempts we make at rapid weight loss are nothing but sad and damaging to health.

I know a cousin of mine who stopped eating dinner for 1 month straight and only took 1 chapatti for lunch, in the bid to reduce weight and such drastic and major steps towards losing weight is what is called as “crash diet” – not only does a crash diet damage your health, it affects your daily protein intake and in today’s world that is driven by fitness par excellence, not getting the daily dose of protein can have great repercussions. Crash diet may be suggested to you by a friend or a family member in the bid to reduce weight and you’ll usually be told that a crash diet cannot have any damaging affect on your body but that’s all a false and if you really do go on a crash diet – you can easily experience your body losing it’s daily strength and the efficiency much required to be energetic and at the top of your feet at all times.

Honey has been since the Ancient India been considered as a vital source of fitness and a daily dose of honey can have a great impact on your body – give you the much needed source of fitness and help you reduce weight  - the way it’s meant to be, without losing up on the daily intake of protein.

Dabur Honey has been since I can remember the most trusted brand in India in terms of honey. The low quality honey that you see in the market will do you no good and thereby it’s important to use honey of only a brand as reputed as Dabur, associating with which gives you the feeling of “rest assured, this is healthy for you” – Dabur Honey has always been and continues to be a product trusted by Indians for it’s consistent quality delivery on the promise of the customers – helping them to intake quality honey.

People tell you all sort of things when you gain weight and how going on crash diets help but you should always opt for the means that are healthy and not ones with dire affects. Dabur Honey – your daily dose of fitness.

UC browser - just what a nation driven by it's cricket needed

The power of browsing is realized when you’re on the go and in the need to surf fast and surf efficiently but usually the crash in browsing apps leads to irrigation and further to frustration because the user wants to enjoy a relatively easy experience which a browser with lags doesn’t provide but with UC browser lags are of the past – THIS browser gives you the ultimate joy ride as the user – “surf it all, surf it fast” is apt to describe the UC browser.

Further, for a country that loves it’s cricket – the UC browser ensures that you’re left too away from the game, ensuring that this relatively fast and easy experience involves you being with your true love i.e. “cricket” – wherever you are and whatever you’re doing. Even if you’re on the go, you can still use the UC browser and the separate section of “UC cricket” to relish the experience of following your favorite sport LIVE.

The UC cricket provides user with updated scores of the matches taking place LIVE – the efficiency of this section of the browser has brought about a new dimension to browsing and given the users the ultimate ease to “surf it all, surf it fast”.

Without doubt, in the last few years the world of apps has taken over and we’re bound to have a few of our favorite apps – always carried with us and UC browser does become one such app.

Endorsed by the lion hearted cricketer in Yuvraj Singh – who very rightly is the face of this browser because of his “break all the records and break ‘em fast” way with which he plays his cricket – the sheer determination and class of his batting and the usefulness of his bowling became a sight to relish for the cricket fans through the last so many years and even today; he is without doubt one of the most admirable cricketers playing the sport.

The UC browser has the option of UC cricket on it’s home screen, in blue button – just click on it and you’ll be taken to the UC cricket section, giving you the updated scores from matches taking place all around the world.

Now, the issue of being away from your love for the game while you’re on the go is NO MORE there because after all; in this age of technology where every second counts and where mutli-tasking has become a way of life – such innovative ideas are surely welcomed because they take the user experience to a whole new level. Further, if you just like me always want to be updated with recent cricket scores while surfing the net – this is just the browser for you. The UC browser with UC cricket – just what a nation driven by it’s cricket needed.

A one of it's kind league

http://www.eknayileague.com/

Kapil Dev – the cricketer has been seen in the social media as the brand of a #NayiLeague, the structure and the genre of which is unknown and left upon the users like you and I to guess and perhaps reach to the right conclusion.

Kapil Dev has been dropping hints in videos but only the inner Sherlock of yours and mine can unlock the mystery over the #NayiLeague. The videos suggested that if you play dil se, then you’re either bowled or hit wicket, meaning that the game is for the daredevils (and no, not the IPL team).

Considering that it’s a game of the risk takers, I doubt that it has to do anything with cricket. No, I don’t suggest that cricket is not a game of daredevils but if you put the facts together, considering that Kapil Dev will actually be promoting a cricket league is unrealistic – as far as I’m concerned.

 It can perhaps be a #NayiLeague is a true definition, a league we’ve never seen before? We’ve the answer to every question now.

The league was officially launched today and it’s a trading league, the battle of the brain and not the heart – this is where your trading talent coming into play, giving you an opportunity to win #Rs1 Crore.

So then, that’s the #NayiLeague, a really innovative concept from Mr.Jimeet of Samco, giving the world of trading a whole new place and a platform. The site of the league is http://www.indiantradingleague.com/ , with the phrase “yeh league dil ki nahin, hai dimaag ki” – very much highlighting the importance of adequate thinking and right investment to achieve big in this trading league.

You can register on the site for the league and be a part of this whole new #NayiLeague, one of it’s kind. The suspense around it was exceptionally maintained, giving no clues away to the users of social media whatsoever.

The inner Sherlock of a few might have been able to crack the code but for me – I wasn’t really close but I do say this – the guessing game sure did make it fun to know which #NayiLeague Kapil Dev was promoting, initially – a cricket league was the idea in everyone’s mind but as the new videos starting coming, there were more and more unique ideas coming forward.

Joining the league isn’t tough, you just have to visit the site and register or you can email them at signup@indiantradingleague.com

Alright then, that’s the #NayiLeague, the hype around which has been amazing. The new concept of leagues in India is definitely something that the users of social media take active participation in and this was no different. The guessing game from the #NayiLeague team did definitely make this a worthwhile event in it’s own and until the launch event, everyone was intrigued to know of this #NayiLeague that Kapil Dev was promoting. KUDOS to the #NayiLeague team for promoting the league in such an exquisite manner.

Asus Zenfone 2 : A class apart

ASUS Zenfone 2

The age of technology is rapidly influencing our lives in various ways - all of which make day-to-day tasks much more easier and efficient. The inception of smart phones was to ensure that one could be in touch with the happenings of the world even on the go and this has ever since revolutionized the way technology works - Asus is one such company that always succeeds in achieving simply the best in technology and just 2 years back when it launched Asus Zenfone, it quickly became the favorite of all the mobile loving people (myself included) and this fan following has resulted in the bringing about of Asus Zenfone 2 - newer and better.

Here I list 5 reasons as to why I want to get my hands on Asus Zenfone 2 :

1) The camera  : for someone like me who likes to take selfies and pictures on the go, a smartphone with a good camera is a basic necessity and I'm very much psyched to see the Asus Zenfone 2 coming with a 13 MP PixelMaster camera, which has the capability of 400% more brighter pictures at night, compared to other smart phones - now this truly is impeccable. The 5 MP camera for selfies is an add-on which makes Asus Zenfone 2 the favorite among the "selfie generation".

2) Asus Boostmaster technology : one thing with smartphones that's really a topic of great discussion across the globe is that of it's battery life. Understandably, a smartphone is bound for heavy usage - be it accessing internet or just playing games/watching movies - it eats up a lot of battery and in quick time plus the charging time makes it no easier. With Asus boostmaster though, the Asus Zenfone 2 will charge upto 60% in less than 39 minutes, that's what you call efficiency.

3) Dual Sim : smartphones without dual sim are just not worth it according to me and hence the dual sim availability in a mobile becomes all the more important. For those of you keen to buy a new smartphone with dual sim - don't look any further, Asus Zenfone 2 is the one.

4) The 64 bit Intel ATOM processor : for those of you who don't like waiting, this processor at 2.3 GHZ is just the answer to your question "does this mobile has speed" - to be precise, this is the Usain Bolt of mobiles, the speed is something you don't need to ask for - Asus always ensures that it's Zen UI gives you the ideal experience.

5) Zen UI : as I mentioned, the Zen UI makes Asus phones simply stand out. Simpler, smarter and more useful - this UI is absolutely a thrill for the users. The Zen UI makes the user interface a lot more stylish and easy to use - which adds to the beauty of Asus Zenfone 2.
