Honey-My Best Friend

What is the best way to be healthy? have we replaced being healthy to dieting? I guess Diet, crash diet, words like these often claim to give you a dream figure. I think more than a need to be fit, it has become a fashion statement nowadays. People are not giving enough importance to the need of following a healthy diet plan. In addition to leading a healthy lifestyle it is extremely important to give due importance to what we are eating on a regular basis. We should always aim for a healthy and a balanced diet. All of us have seen people actually going on a full crash diet. This not only affects the physical wellness of individuals but even affects the mental health. We lose the energy and the zeal. A healthy, balanced diet is the key to healthy living. http://www.daburhoney.com/

Honey could be considered as one magic ingredient. Incorporating it in our diet would is not only healthy but its various advantages make it a wonderful dietary component. You must have heard lot of people taking a spoon full of honey with warm water in the morning. It has traditionally been known to be useful in weight management. Honey is also a good source of energy. It is a natural sugar and can be easily absorbed by our body. My mother in law had some digestion issues. We thought of including honey in her diet. Wholla, I don’t know the science behind it but it worked for her. Thankfully, she was relieved from her miseries. Honey- my magical ingredient. http://www.daburhoney.com/

My husband usually suffers from seasonal cough and cold. After lot of medicines, we switched to the traditional honey ginger combination. This worked well too. The dryness in his throat went away. The biggest advantage being it has no side effects like a lot of medicines. He responds really well to it.

Coming to our beauty regime. Honey forms a good moisturizing and nourishing agent in a lot of face packs. It really helps the skin to rejuvenate and glow. So all the ladies out there this small bottle of sweetness has lots of benefits that you could have never even realized. Ensure you include it not only in your diet but also in your beauty packs. It would keep the glow going.

Honey being such a common ingredient comes with a lot of benefits. If we can include it in our diet, and make honey our friend, definitely we can benefit from it. The simplest way could also be to replace sugar by honey. Honey is very easy to be included in sweets and other delicacies as well. #Honey Diet.

No doubt including honey in our diet is a #sweeter alternative. It helps to sweetly resolve a lot of our day to day problems without any side effects.

An Expert of Everything

Maa…Mummy…Mom…cannot be defined in words. Her smile, selfless love, care and the warmth of her touch could leave a tired soul happy and rejuvenated.

My mom undoubtedly is #myfirstexpert and I am sure everyone's mom is as well. She has been my first expert under the guidance of whom I have learnt a lot of things. There are innumerable things that I have done for the first time with her. I remember, when I was in standard one, I was told to make a poster on cartoon characters as a class project but I didn’t know anything about a poster. In fact I didn’t even know what a poster is. Then the person who was first to give me an expert advice on my problem was my mother. Well, kids and their problems. Our moms never let us feel how ignorant we are. In fact they are always ready to walk on the same path again and again to teach us. So, we started off. She told me everything about the poster, and also helped me throughout the process of creating the poster. The beauty of this whole exercise was that though she was there to guide me, it was me was creating it. I learnt to be create something new from scratch. I learnt to work independently.

The poster turned out to be so beautiful and stupendous that I was given the highest marks in the project by my teacher for making the best poster in the class. I was also applauded by everyone. I was on cloud nine as if I had won the world. After reaching home, I hugged my mother and thanked her for being my first expert and making me realize my first success in the competitive world. http://godrejexpert.com/single_used_pack.php

I also remember how disastrous my writing used to be when I started writing with a pen. My teachers even declined to check my exam papers, can you imagine? It was my mother who became my first handwriting expert. She used to sit with me around the clock with her fingers holding mine and then we used to practice writing tons and tons of pages. In two months my mother trained me to write neatly and beautifully. I still get appreciated for the beautiful handwriting I have now. http://godrejexpert.com/single_used_pack.php

My mother has always been there in my good and bad times, a well-wisher during my hardships, helping me to overcome any challenges that block my way with her expert methods that can never fail and therefore making me realize my dreams. My mother is my mentor and my first expert and I really hope that this bond of mother and daughter strengthens with every passing minute. Love you mom!!! http://godrejexpert.com/single_used_pack.php

Murderer of Soul

I don't have words today to express what I feel,
It's just that something inside me is dying everyday.
You promised this and you promised that,
All the promises went for a toss.

I have to say that everything is ruined,
Our monument of love is completely devastated.
Your words, your anger, your whole demeanor,
Is killing me slowly with little to bother.

Life will take such a turn, tough to believe,
On our anniversary I had to leave.
My body is there to make you feel you haven't done anything wrong,
It's just that my soul is dead by your hatred song.

My soul was soft and so fragile,
You transformed it into a hard tile.
My innocence, my love, you murdered it,
You are a murderer, who knew of it.

Time to redefine your smartphone experience: #ASUS Zenfone 2 is here

Looking for a new smartphone? How many options do you see nowadays? There are so many of them, each having a different USP. The other day we went to a store to look at some of these new handheld gizmos. The more we explored the more we got confused. We were looking for one option that would be complete in its own. All the features that you would want, delivered to you in one package. All the big shot technology companies are really trying hard to become market leaders and to be the favorite among all age groups.
Finally, there is one gadget that would really blow your minds away. #ASUS ZenFone 2 - the real beast. As I walk you through some of its really attractive and useful features, you would realize this is no less than the best smartphone that could redefine your overall smartphone experience.

To begin with, our beast gadget comes with a 4 GB RAM. Whola!!! Have you heard of that before? #ASUS ZenFone 2  is the only smartphone with this kind of advanced configuration. So get ready to explore new applications, new games without actually compromising on the overall performance. How many of us have suffered with a crawling, super slow smartphone? The reason, we unknowingly installed a new application that seemed useful but alas we ended up with a much slower device.
I hate it when I never get through my husband’s phone. Most of the times his so called smartphone’s battery is low. His smartphone becomes an ancient gadget. He has no time to charge it. #ASUS Zenfone 2 comes with an ASUS-exclusive technology that charges devices much faster than traditional speeds. 39 minutes and your battery could be juiced up to 60%. Wow!!! I am really looking forward to this feature. You wouldn’t imagine how many fights has the low battery smartphone triggered across the globe…*wink *wink.
Most of the smartphones appear as if you are carrying a super big PDA. They are bulky, and average looking. We all want to carry a product that defines our style. It has to be classy with a unique style statement. #ASUS Zenfone 2 is a beautifully crafted device. It comes with incredibly thin 3.9mm edges. #ASUS Zenfone 2 is a perfect example of smart, stylish designing.
The smartphone that I currently use is pretty good yet I struggle to figure out where the volume adjustment keys are hidden. My sister struggles using is as she is a left- handed girl and the smartphone is designed in a way that goes well with right-handed users. #ASUS Zenfone 2’s ergonomic designing would make it equally comfortable for both right- and left-handed users. The device is designed for you to hold comfortably and yet use all its functions with ease. So, you want to click photographs, or adjust volume, the highly-intuitive control layout would make it all an enjoyable experience. The smartphone is for comfort and not to leave you in a maze to figure out the unknown.
Last but my favorite feature. I love clicking pictures on the go. Really don’t like carrying my DSLR everywhere. When buying a smartphone this is always one of the key features that I look for. #ASUS Zenfone 2 comes with a 13 MP rear-facing camera and the 5MP front-facing. This is an incredible feature. The overall picture quality is amazing with the images being much sharper. With the PixelMaster's Low Light mode you can capture clear photos or videos throughout the night. This is really icing on the cake.
What are you waiting for, get your hands on this superhero of smartphones, #ASUS Zenfone 2 is really going to redefine your smartphone experience.

My Dream, My Vision: #DigitalIndia

With an estimate of about Rs 18,000 crores some mention that #DigitalIndia is one of Government’s most ambitious programs. Over the years we have seen that government is excellent in formulation of quarterly, yearly, 5 year and 2020 plans but when it comes to execution of these plans, the country seems getting disappointed. Do we know why these strategies and plans do not work in our country, India? I think, we all know the answer. And here comes the famous word from all of us – corruption. Now, how do we deal with this corruption – a million dollar (rupees) question? There could be lot of answers to it, but this time we have decided to select the answer as #DigitalIndia. Let’s see how.
 

Whether it is India’s manufacturing sector, agricultural or industrial sector, today #DigitalIndia is the key to keep their heads up. As we all know that government policies, initiatives, benefits, subsidies play an important role in all these sectors but due to the corruption and lack of e-governance, their affect and benefits get diluted.  #DigitalIndia helps in strengthening e-governance and therefore helps in connecting the government initiatives with the people of India more strongly. Let’s discuss this with some examples.
 
One of the aspects of #DigitalIndia is that it promotes cashless transactions. Let me take the example of gas subsidy by government of India. Earlier it used to be either through cash payments or was being eaten up by many termites of system at every level. These termites have the capability to eat away everything. Cashless transactions, possible through #DigitalIndia, eventually helped us in reducing involvement of these termites, promoting e-governance and therefore reducing corruption. Such kind of transparency in Government operations strengthens the trust and faith in our government. All in all good relationship between government,  nationals, and common people that has been lacking for a while now. 
Similar models of #DigitalIndia need to be implemented in other areas as well like that of agriculture, that's facing a disconnect and lack of trust between farmers and wholesalers.
Area of investors facing disconnect between foreign investors and government. Area of industries facing disconnect between industrialists and government. Area of services facing disconnect and mistrust between common man and government offices. Make in India campaign waiting for a significant start. Aadhar card initiative waiting for its success and benefits. Do we find any connect between #DigitalIndia and these initiatives? Surely, yes. I believe, every Indian can be connected to it. It means huge data for analysis by experts and new business approvals.
 
#DigitalIndia, as we see is a solution to numerous issues and could be made practical by strong information technology supported by related hardware and software. I strongly believe that Intel has the ability to deliver all these from their pool of in-house skills and capabilities. In other words, Intel through the platform of #DigitalIndia can really be instrumental in filling the gap between the Government and the mango people. Intel could be instrumental in developing a platform that can bring government, investors, manufacturers, businessmen, farmers, common men and everybody from huge airbus aircrafts to even the micron sized chips together.
 
I dream of living in a nation that’s well connected technologically. I dream of living in a nation that is developed. I dream of my India becoming a role model for other nations where Government has partnered with technology providers to implement #DigitalIndia in realty. I am sure with technological advancements by market leaders like Intel and initiatives like e-Governance, #DigitalIndia would bring us closer to achieving APJ Abdul Kalam’s Vision 2020. Hope we still remember it!!!
