Home is where my heart is

It’s a strange bond that we share with our home. When we move into a brick and mortar structure called a house we make it livable by furnishing it. We decorate it .Celebrate every festival in it. As time passes this house becomes our home and a strange bond is established. It is almost like a living member of the family with a distinct personality. I have lived in a number of houses around the country at various stages of my life and each one was quite different and in different parts of the city or the country however there is something common in all these homes that is they provided comfort and protection. I could say that they are like emotional cushions that support you and soothe you. I have witnessed that every time we moved to a new house it was better than the previous one in some form or the other and it enriched our lives in their own way. Another benefit of moving to a new house is that you make new friends and neighbors so in a few years of having shifted a couple of houses me and my parents had a wider circle of friends then what we would have  had we lived in just one house for all our lives. Of all the houses that I have lived in and the one I miss the most is the one I lived in when I got into the fifth standard. This was a bigger house then what we used to live in previously. The most important part for me was that it in this house I had a separate room to myself. A window that let in lots of light and cool fresh air. My study table was set next to it. This room became witness to all the hard work and late night studies that I did under its roof. I studied hard and topped my school as I could study undisturbed and concentrate for long hours. The fresh oxygen rich breeze kept my mind alert and eager to grasp and memorize whatever I was studying. Then I joined a top college in my city. As part of extra-curricular activities I joined the debating society in my college. For every debate that I delivered there was hours of practice and the terrace of my home was witness to every bit of hard work put into it as it not only offered me a wide space to pace around and learn my lines but also the privacy of trying out different expressions as I practiced the delivery of every debate that I had prepared away from the prying eyes of the neighbors, thanks to its tall walls. My home became the spring board that help me become a complete and balanced person and just as my school and college were instrumental in providing me with education. The various houses that I lived in presented me with a different social environment and taught me skills to interact with people from various backgrounds. Then when I graduated I got a job offer in another country. I was a girl just out of college and ready to embark on my life’s journey into the big world. My parents were apprehensive. However having lived in so many different cities and houses had given me the social skills to survive in a new environment So I took my big decision and moved to #StartANewLife to a new city and a new house. This moving out was to mark the beginning of an interesting journey in the course of my life.

Life transforming moment of hope and optimism

This is my story of that one moment that filled me with hope and optimism and transformed my life forever

I have an elder sister who excels in what ever she does from sports to academics to co-curricular activities like dramatics ,dance and singing. Throughout my childhood I had been content to be her shadow and I felt great pride in doing so .My elder sister was greatly praised and admired by all the family members and acquaintances. Often there were comparison between her and my talents, however I was never jealous of her and stuck to my laid back attitude. I often joked with her that since she had been ahead of me in the queue she had been granted all the talent by god and since I being younger was behind her there was nothing left for me .Like so many households her things like clothes toys and books were passed on to me but there was one exception and that was her Ghunghroo’s or feet bells which she wore for her dancing sessions or  whenever she gave her performance. She did not allow me to even touch them as she held them very dear.

By the time I joined college she had already won several dance competitions and represented our college at various dance events. Being her younger sister was no mean task as people and teachers expected a lot of excellence and perfection from me as well. However I was indifferent to all this pressure and remained unperturbed by all this expectation and attention.

 It was the time of the year when we were about to host the college festival. My elder sister was the reigning champion in the classical dance section and everybody expected here to win the championship and retain her crown and bring laurels to the college. She was working very had on her dance steps and I watched every move of hers very closely. Then twenty days before the main competition she slipped and fractured her foot. Doctors  adviced her full rest. She could not even walk properly leave alone dancing,so her taking part in the dance competition was out of the question. This made the college principal greatly perturbed as she had been banking on my sister to win and bring glory to the college. However at this moment we were facing a situation when there was nobody to represent the college at the dance event. The situation was even more grave as we were the hosting college. There was very little time for anyone else to put together a winning performance.The teachers and the principal held a meeting to decide the further course of events. They came to the conclusion that they should put up a candidate to give a performance as a face saving gesture. No body was willing to  perform in place of my sister as they felt that they would not be able to do justice and live up to the standard of dance set up by my sister.When everyone had lost hope my sister spoke to the principal and proposed my name. When I saw a great crowd at the notice board I stopped and saw my name as the dance participant to represent our college. I was taken aback and rushed to my sister. Before I could say anything to her she took my hand and placed on them her precious Ghunghroo’s (Feet dancing bells). She patted me on the back and told me that I could do the impossible and win the dancing competition. She told me that she was confident that I would perform even better then her. This was a moment that made me step out of her shadow and instilled in me the hope and optimism to be a winner . Her words infused in me the desire to prove myself and bring glory to my sister and my college. I practiced day and night under the strict supervision of my sister. On the day of the competition when I went on stage I wanted to excel and live up to the expectations placed upon me by my sister. As soon as I completed my performance the hall resounded with loud claps and cheers. I was declared the winner with unanimous decision. This moment could be realized only because of that moment when my sister had put her faith in me and filled me with hope and optimism to do the impossible .Now I am an individual by myself ready to face the future.

A happy night makes a Happy Child

A happy night makes a Happy Child

Bedtime for my child has always been a very special occasion It has been a time of special bonding with my child when I had  it all to myself.A home without children is like a garden without flowers. My child’s presence lends an extra happiness to our home. His arrival has brought a great change in the household leading to a complete transformation in the ambiance. My child has become the center of attraction and all eyes and ears are always focused on it and its activities. The tiniest of sounds brings  people rushing to inquire and investigate.

This is what I experienced when I had my first born, there was an unsung  song in the house reverberating  from every corner. Every little action of my tiny tot was under strict surveillance of the hawk eyes of the senior members. Its needs were instantly attended to and its cries were a serious offense and a black mark against me. A record was maintained wherein the feed timings were religiously maintained.

Throughout the day there were many people around to take care but for me the best part of the day was when night drew near and I was all alone with it.I was constantly by its side and it was a great experience to watch its expressions which changed constantly. I loved to hold it in my arms and soothe its cries by talking to it and swaying it in my arms. It was a heavenly feeling to feel its cherubic face nestle close to me while clutching at my saree for support and protection. It was a nice feeling to be wanted. I took great care that it got its bed time feed on time or I would have to face the ire of my mother in law. Even I did not like to delay by even a second as it was so dear to me. The beatific expression on its face after the feed was a delight to behold and when I talked to him telling him stories of fairies and princes, he looked at me with an expression that said that he had understood every thing I had been telling him.He loved music as he dozed off as soon as I sang a lullaby to him. There was peace in the house as long as he slept and only then I could relax for a while. All my nights were spent in a vigil to see if he was sleeping in the dry as I knew that it would be a great irritant to his soft tender skin to sleep in a wet bed and spoil his beauty sleep. In spite of my best efforts there were many a times when I was awakened by his cries that told me that he was not dry and feeling uncomfortable on the wet sheet. Then I discovered Pampers baby dry pants an answer to our problem. It was just perfect with no hint of wetness on the outside and completely dry from the inside. It seemed like an answer to a mother’s prayer wanting to keep her loved one safe and dry. Now I need not worry about chaffing skin and rashes as it has a baby lotion to keep the skin soft and moisturized and both of us can sleep in peace. I with the knowledge that there would be no more wet nights for my beloved and he would not get up feeling grumpy and now all is well thanks to Pampers baby dry pants.Now I need not change the diapers again and again as Pampers baby dry pant gives mothers like me the freedom from having to change diapers several times as Pampers baby dry pant lasts for the entire night.Each Pampers baby dry pan can absorb up to 5 glasses of fluid from its surface and can keep the baby dry for up to 10 hours. It also gives freedom to my child to sleep undisturbed for longer hours without discomfort due to wet diapers.As a result my child is fresh and smiling in the morning.

#UnconditionalLove Advert

No fikar only Quikr NXT

Quikr has launched its new Quikr Nxt chat service that enables the buyers and sellers to connect using a chat feature.The chat feature by Quikr Nxt is a game changer that is going to change the way things would be bought and sold over the internet.I see it loaded with features such as

1 It helps the users keep their phone numbers private.Biggest advantage of this is that we users are protected from the unscrupulous online marketeers who are always on the lookout for people like us who post our personal details specially our phone numbers online.They then target us by inundating the owner of the phone number by numerous marketing phone calls selling various wares from credit cards to flats. Our phone number can also end up on a target list that is used to send bulk SMS’s . We are so wary of deleting these junk messages that are a drain on the battery and the space as well.

 2 The second biggest attraction of the chat feature is that it gives you the convenience of chatting and connecting with multiple prospective buyers or sellers at the same time.So the time is better utilized as in a phone call you can connect with only one person at a time.The chat feature gives you the flexibility of indulging in a chat at your convenient time.

3 Chat features have a chat log that maintain a track of all the conversations that you have had.This saves you a lot of time as it’s a ready reckoner for you to evaluate all the would be buyers and sellers.I find this feature very useful as I no longer have to note down the personal detail of every buyer and seller with whom I would like to take the negotiations to the next level.

I like the photo sharing feature very much it is a great time saver for both the buyer and the seller.For the buyer there are no surprises when he or she goes to see the product that he or she wants to buy as the pictures provides a realistic picture of the product.So he or she can make up their mind about the intended purchase and also negotiate the prices better.For the seller it means that more buyers get to see the condition of the product and he can get the best possible price.It is a win-win situation for both the buyers and the sellers.

It saves time,money, energy and makes the overall experience of interacting with a buyer and seller more productive and fruitful.I have experienced that after sharing the pictures of the product I want to sell over a chat only genuine and serious buyers approach me.This saves useful time.

So if you want to buy or sell anything do so online and there is no better  place then  http://www.quikr.com/. Specially with the Quickr NXT chat feature.
