SMELLY TO SMILEY

Hi folks!
Well we all go gaga over those lovely fruit fragrances that women often smell of and those strong scents that men opt for can make anybody go weak on their knees but what about the welcome home fragrance? Does the way your house smell make you go gaga or weak on your knees? If not then we together with Ambi Pur can bring some change. Read on…

I am blogging for #SmellyToSmiley activity at BlogAdda.com in association with Ambi Pur

After a long day when I return home tired and all exhausted I wish I could have rose petals and scented rose water showering on me for my welcome but where do we have that good a fortune. Bursting my “oh so rosy life” bubble I have different odours welcoming me. I come home to the last night’s vessels smell because I had no time to wash them before leaving the house. I have the dirty shoe smell that I forgot to dry after they got wet in the rain. I also have dirty clothes smell during monsoon as the clothes would take longer to dry. My house sometimes even smells of fish. Although we don’t cook it at home the smell still manages to enter the house from the window I didn’t bother closing.

This is definitely not how I like to be welcomed back home. It is so contrary to my “oh so rosy life” scenario. Well I would still bear with it but would the guests like it? I would live with it blaming it all on me and cursing myself for being all forgetful but the guests won’t take it. They might not say it like “hey your house smells of shit or fish” as such but they surely won’t be pleased either. Despite all the hospitality and all the good food cooked, etc. etc. if your guests don’t leave with big smiles on their faces then it can probably be the smelly house that’s bothering them.

While you take care of everything so well why do you want to let go of all your hard work in drain at the cost of that drain like smell? Battle it. Take it out. Of course remembering to shut windows, cleaning vessels will definitely help but well we are humans and we cannot always remember to battle the odour that way. And that is where room fresheners come to our rescue. Ambi Pur Air Effects is one such saviour. It doesn’t just cover the odours, it completely removes them. It helps our house stay all fresh all day long so that when we return home there is no cursing happening and when the guests come there is no taunting happening. Thus ensuring the my house goes from smelly to smiley J

THE RELIANCE MEET

6th June’ 15-
At the Reliance Corporate Office, Mumbai the retirement fund meet was held. It was a great experience and there were such great insights. Basically as the name suggests the meet was about one can assure their family and themselves a bright and a secured future by just a little bit of planning and right investments. We all wish for a happy tomorrow but how many of us actually plan for one?

At the meet we got to know that with the ongoing rate of inflation, the rates are to increase still further in the future. The 10 Rupee note that could buy you so many things in the past has value of less than 1 Rupee in today’s time. So you can only imagine of what value that 10 Rupee will be in the future or wait will it even exist then? I have my doubts.

After making us aware of the scenario that we are most likely to face in the future, we were given a handful of options. SAVING was the major motive and ways to do it were told to all the bloggers. Right from telling kids to save money in their piggy banks, to women saving some in their lockers and smarter and better options that will help us grow our money and “Let Money Work for Money” as said by one of the Speakers were told to us.

Saving in banks, depositing your money in fixed terms, depositing in recurring terms, buying mutual funds, investing in share markets with good knowledge of the same will help you grow your money in real time.

So that was about the meet. It was nice to get such great insights from the experts in the field and it was also nice to catch up with fellow bloggers.


Small drops of water can make an ocean similarly little saving toady will insure brighter tomorrow. Save because it’s for you and your family and their wellbeing. Save if you care. I shall too J

REFRESHING MOVE

I am blogging for #MaxFreshMove activity at BlogAdda.com. Are you?

Quotes like music is life, dance to your own beat, dance like nobody is watching are just quotes for some but for others they mean a lot. For those who are passionate about music and dance these quotes are like mantras- mantras for good living and for well-being. If you ask a dance enthusiast which beat they would want to dance to. They would just say any that’s because the love for dance is so much that even in the absence of music their dance would create a rhythm of its own. Now that is PASSION!

If you ask me what dance and music is to me? I would simply say it’s refreshing. I think it’s amazing how there is a song for every situation in life and how by simply moving your legs you can dance to any beat and it becomes a step.

Now imagine having Gurus of dance and music performing for you. Aren’t such concerts the best part of living? I am sure all music and dance enthusiasts would agree with me upon this one. Now how about having Allu Arjun who is best known for his sensational dance moves and Anushka Manchanda, a vocalist perform together? Wouldn’t it be sensational?

Well If I were the director I wouldn’t even consider spending too much on the ambiance of the place where this concert will be held (the key word here is IF I WERE A DIRECTOR, IF).  The reason being Anushka’s number Allah Duhai hai and Allu Arjun’s moves on it wouldn’t need anything else. Finding yourself grooving to music like Dum Maaro Dum Mit Jaaye Gum and Dance Basanti would be amazing, wouldn’t it? Now having Allu Arjun showcase his dance moves on Anushka’s latest track Bezubaan Phir Se would make for one hell of a crazy night.

Well again IF I WERE A DIRECTOR (Remember the key word IF? :-P) I would spice up this concert a tad bit by having people’s participation because what is a concert without a good audience? Besides autographs and photographs from these star performers, a nice meal with them after the concert would make for a perfect after party. Choosing the winners on the basis of some contest would make sense and would even be practical.

One thing I can guarantee that every music and dance enthusiast would leave if not with a grin but definitely with broad smiles on their faces as it’s rare to have such an amazing blend of dance and music under one roof!
