Gold Mornings

5:22 PM | Labels: ,

Photo Credits: IndiBlogger
Every morning is similar, isn't it? You wake up groggily, wondering what this new day will bring, as you go ahead with your morning chores. And then you get dressed and leave for whatever occupation it is, which keeps you busy throughout the day. When every morning is as similar and as boring as the previous day, how can you make a 'day' as a 'good day' or in fact a 'gold day'? Colgate India has henceforth come up with this beautiful question, 'What makes your day a gold day?' - Colgate 360 Charcoal Gold toothbrush #Colgate360GoldMornings - and given us all a chance to think about what it is really that excites us and that holds the place in our heart.

When I was put forth this question, the answer was simple. For me, a day in which I live fully is a day worth lived, and hence, that day becomes a gold day. But how do I make a day of gold, when I am even lazy to get out of bed in the morning? 

I realized few years back, that when you do what you always wanted to do, life becomes simpler. I went to a college that I really liked, doing a course which I picked, and hence, it became easy. I used to love getting up early in the morning and I still remember looking forward to going to college, so that I learn new things, and also to spend time with my best friends and our lecturers, who were more of our friends. And soon the days of college gave way to work life. Here too, I chose what I want to do, and I'm happy.

Every morning, I wake up with a smile on my face. It doesn't matter what had happened the previous day, nor does it matter what will happen the next day. What matters is today, and that moment. Someone once told me that I should live my life, one moment at a time, and I've been trying to do that. There is something really exciting about each day, with the way you view it. I believe, we can turn any mornings to a 'Gold Morning' instead of just a 'Good Morning' by being positive, and changing the way we think and look at things. Life is simple, I say, Keep it that way.
  

I would like to thank #Colgate360GoldMornings for giving us bloggers this wonderful opportunity, to explain what their gold mornings look like.

Brother from Heaven

8:35 PM | Labels: , , , , , ,

Me and my Brother
Brothers! There aren't enough words in dictionary to describe them. They will be your best friend and also your worst enemies, and that's exactly what makes them so special.

I too am blessed with one such creature in my life.
Being 9 years older than me, he's more of a father figure than just a brother to me. He's stood by me during my worst times, and also ensured that I got into trouble for something he did. We fight, we crib, we pull each others hair out, but, we also laugh together, enjoy together and have the best of times.

I cannot jot down every memory that we have shared, because there are just one too many, but I can say, that in all of the memories that I have, you've been a hero to me, a role model and an inspiration.

My brother is one person who would let me take my own path so that I can discover myself, but also ensures to stay right by my side wherever I go so that in case I ever trip, he can hold my hand, pull me up on my feet, and ask me to walk again. It's an honor to have been blessed with such a wonderful brother - #MySiblingRocks

Dear Brother of mine, I might fight with you, get angry on you, tell on you to our parents, irritate you to the core, and say all rude words to you, but the truth is, I love you as much as you love me, and my only wish is to see you happy forever, because if there is anyone on this Earth who deserves all the happiness, it is you. You are a gem of a person. You have a been a wonderful son - to our parents, a protective brother - to me, a sweet friend- to all your friends, an extraordinary husband - to my bhabhi, and now, the most amazing Father- to my little niece.

We are all lucky to have you in our life, and I'm pretty sure everyone in our house agrees to that. Thank you, for all that you have done, for all that you have shown and for all that you have protected us from. We owe a lot to you, and this year on Rakshabandhan, I wish that that sweet smile on your face shall never fade, and that all your dreams and wishes come true. I love you Anna.

 I would like to say my heartfelt thanks to http://www.igp.com/ (Portal) for giving bloggers this wonderful opportunity to share their sibling story with the world.

Fun at #FlipkartImageSearch #IndiMeet

3:12 AM | Labels: , , ,

 
https://www.indiblogger.in/bloggermeet.php?id=300

IndiBlogger decided to welcome August with a big bang (or more like a Hell Yeah!) and organized this wonderful meet along with Flipkart at Hard Rock Cafe, Bangalore. 


Saturday mornings are reserved for laziness. How many of us would have actually seen a Saturday morning? Most of us prefer to wake up in the noon, but still more than 100 people turned out for this meet in the early hours of Saturday. (Yes! 10:30AM is early. It's Saturday!) 

It's extremely fun to meet up with your friends, especially your blogger friends as you tend to have a lot in common to talk about. After almost two years, I attended this IndiMeet. This being my 4th Meet, I had a wonderful time in meeting my old friends and had an even better time making new ones. 

The band performing.
Everyone waited with anticipation for the meet to start and were all excited when Anoop went up on the 'Karaoke Platform'. After huddling all around the platform, we were then welcomed with a big bang performance from Anoop and his team, who made the whole place move along with their fantastic music.  The tweets blasted out as soon as the performance started. Obviously! That was a 'Hell Yeah!' performance. Way to go team. Whooop!

 When the performance was over, we were introduced to Flipkart Guys and then the Introductions began. It was nice to see so many new faces, and so many old ones too. It is so fun to see so many people, the new bloggers, the experienced one, the writers, the authors, the photographers, the performers, all in one place. The meet had just begun. Soon, the Flipkart guys took over the stage and explained to us all about the #FlipkartImageSearch. 

#FlipkartImageSearch is a feature added on to the mobile app of Flipkart which allows users to click pictures of what they like and search for similar products on Flipkart. Instead of trying to describe the product or try to remember the name of it, all you have to do is snap a photo of it and then search for it through Flipkart. Even though you might not always find the exact match, you'll find products of something 90% similarity. It certainly takes the whole point of Online Shopping one step ahead. This feature makes the app more user-friendly than before, and also helps us in finding things easier and quicker as we don't have to go by description anymore and instead just show them what we are looking for.

After a demo on how to use this feature, they took up questions from us audience regarding this feature or pretty much about anything related to Flipkart. Many issues, questions and doubts came up in the process, all of which were sincerely cleared by the Flipkart Team present with us during the meet. Hats off to you guys for coming up with such a wonderful idea and also for answering everything with so much patience and helping people out.

Team 5 - aka Our Team winning the Task.
Meanwhile, we were served some scrumptious meal along with drinks, which savored our taste buds and also gave us energy for the next part of the day. The next task was #FlipkartImageSearch task. All the bloggers were divided into six groups of twenty people each. We were then asked to name a person as a Captain and the other as Vice-Captain, whereas two people as Flipkart Ambassadors who would keep in touch with IndiTeam as well as Flipkart throughout the whole task. After this was done along with naming ceremony of all the groups we were explained about what we had to do. It was simple. We were supposed to go around the room and click pictures of products, which we would then use to find the same/similar product on Flipkart App. The team with the most number of products which had the exact match was to be declared as winners. After 10 minutes of rushing around, clicking pictures, being asked if something of yours could be taken a picture of, the task came to an end, and it was time for the Flipkart Team to check out the products we had added into our wishlist and see if they were all exact matches. While most of the teams managed to get around 20-25 matches, our team, that is Team 5 managed to get 35+ exact matches (after which they stopped counting). It was truly a 'Hell Yeah!' moment for our team.
When I bagged myself a Flipkart Voucher
In the midst of it all, few people were called out for being awesome, and were told that they were going to get Flipkart Vouchers for being that awesome. (Cool right?) Anyway, I think it's really cool to be one of them, because my silly little tweet bagged me a voucher, and also a joke from Anoop which actually made me consider changing my name on Twitter. Haha! Good one there Zombie!
Who uses Flipkart App? Everyone raises their hand.

 Unfortunately, like all good things, even this meet had to come to an end. While half of us rushed to get our copies of '10 love stories' with the author's autograph, the other half had vanished behind the food counter. Honestly, the brownie with vanilla ice cream was like a cherry on top of a perfect day. The meet concluded with HRC team dancing for the classic, YMCA. 

 All in all, it was an amazing Saturday thanks to all the Blogger Friends and the IndiTeam. We found it to be informative as well as fun, and this meet definitely goes in the bag of 'Best IndiMeets of all time'. Way to go IndiTeam, Flipkart Team, as well as HRC Team. Thanks for a wonderful time, and we hope to see all of you again soon.
HELL YEAH!

Smart Choice for Smart Phone

6:17 PM | Labels: , ,

Picture Credits: www.asus.com
In this era of smartphones, where a new phone is launched every week, I think Asus have come up with a smartphone which is not only wonderful in its design but also the specifications. According to me, Asus has brought into the market a beautiful phone which will race off the charts once it is released in the market.

Few reasons why I think people should choose Asus are as follows:-
  • ZenFone 2 has a Quad Core Processor which ensures smooth functioning of the phone even when multiple apps are opened. Moreover it provides 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 RAM, which makes the phone faster to use than ever.  

  • ZenFone 2 has a 13MP Primary Camera which is also featured with pixel-merging technology, which ensures that photos taken during the night are also of a wonderful quality, even without flash as this technology brightens up the photos by 400%. It also has Super Resolution and HDR mode, which will help to take superb quality pics even though shadows of the daylight and detailed images at a resolution of 52MP.

  •  With a Front Camera of 5MP, ZenFone 2 makes taking selfies easier, after all, internet is ruled by the selfies, and Asus just makes it easier for us to rule with this wonderful secondary camera.

  • Battery Backup and Charging Capacity of ZenFone 2 is wonderful as within 39 minutes 60% of the battery can be charged. You are out somewhere and are in grave need of battery backup to save your life, then charge your phone for half an hour and you are good to go.

  • ZenFone 2 comes with amazing personalized tools such as Zen Motions, Personalized Fonts or Themes, Privacy Protection and more than all of that it comes with Kid Mode and Micro Security. Now passing your phone on to your kids becomes more easier with these personalized tools.

Without doubt, Asus has come up with some amazing specifications for ZenFone 2 which makes life easier for smart phone users, as this phone is compatible to everyone, from a teenager to an adult and even a kid while they are playing.


Lastly, I thank ASUS for giving us this wonderful opportunity to right about their wonderful phone. Thank you Asus.

Small things in Life

4:01 PM | Labels: , , , , ,

It's only at the end, that we remember the beginning.

Now that 3 years of college life is coming to an end, all I can do is think back about every single day that I enjoyed in these three wonderful years. No matter what I do, these days won't come back, and what they say, it is true, College days are the most wonderful days of life.

Now when I look back, the first thing that comes to my mind are those small things that happened throughout these years. The moments which I thought will linger in my mind forever, are actually the last of memories to visit my mind; whereas the moments which I never thought I'll remember are the ones which visit first and also the ones which leaves a huge smile on my face.

The best of the memories are the times when me and my friends used to run to canteen during break to buy snacks and cold drinks, and used to find that there was a shortage of coca-cola for the day. So, we had to share. With 2 bottles of coca-cola on the table, and 5 people on a chair around it, it used to be a game of 'Dog-and-the-Bone' every time. Who can pick up the bottle and manage to gulp down huge sips before the others found out? There were times when we used to miss classes because none of us were able to pick up those bottles without others noticing, and leaving before the bottle was empty, was not something we used to do.

Another memory which comes to mind is when we used to sit in the last benches of our class and used to open our boxes during the class time, and eat food while our lecturers were writing on board. It's an immense joy to sneak food all through the class and eat while the lecturer is busy teaching. And when someone in the front benches get caught, teasing them is even more fun.

With life on fast track mode, I realized that moments like college fest, meant less important than, playing music in class and the whole class dancing for it, or planning and executing a mass bunk just because we were feeling lazy to attend classes, or even a simple day at class where we used to sit and gossip with our lecturers about their lives or their time in the staff room.

Now that these wonderful days are almost at an end, I wish I could go back, just to live all these small moments yet again, because they meant the most to me. After all, it is the little things which makes the big difference. 


I would really like to thank the Coca-Cola Community for giving me this wonderful opportunity to cherish these memories of a lifetime, and pen them down so that it could be remembered forever.
