MAKE ROOM FOR SOMETHING NEW

Hello everyone!

Well the technology has advanced so much of late that there is an app for almost everything, right from what you want to eat, to what you want to wear, every single thing. Now look at the latest app that’s come- Stayzilla. It is this amazing new app which is available on the Google Play for Android users and also on Play Store for IPhone users. This app works with this principle of MAKING ROOM FOR SOMETHING NEW.

On downloading this app I figured that the very first thing that you have to choose is your profile, if you wish to be a guest or a host or both. In case you wish to be a guest then you simply have to put in your check in and check out dates and you will be allotted a place to stay as per your preference. They also have a “Happy to Help” Stayzilla assistance chat to answer all the queries.

If you pick on being a host then you get to host someone’s stay which could be too much fun. It would be an amazing opportunity to open up to new people, to make new friends, to make conversations with new people and you never know you might just find like-minded people and get to make new and amazing friends.

You can choose from staying in a hotel, a lodge or a guest house and that too at varying prices. You get a varied range to choose from. Booking was never so easy before this. It is now possible to be a guest or a host or both with the help of this amazing app and what’s super cool is that it is available for both android and IPhone users so both can or rather should download this app and make room for something new. J

DOWNLOAD THIS AMAZING APP NOW.

REAL TOGETHERNESS

Hi all!

We are all living in an era where we give a lot of importance to the virtual word. Internet, mobile phones, computers and laptops are like a different world on their own and it is this world where most of us like to spend our valuable time of late. There are very many reasons as to why we have got so addicted to this virtual world. We prefer being on our mobile phones than interacting with friends even when we are out. At home you will find everyone stuck to their laptops or computers.

I sometimes wonder as to what is this constant need to be social at all times? Little do we actually realize that while we are trying to be all social and trying to connect with others, we are actually missing out on connecting with people who are there with us. These days although we see people going out together but where do they actually bond with each other?

In my opinion this isn’t real togetherness. Snapping everything, putting Instagram posts, checking in on Facebook, chatting with other friends on mobile phones and everything else is just with an urge or a constant need of being called “SOCIAL”. The true moments of joy are the ones where you actually forget to even look at your phones.

Real togetherness in my opinion is when group of friends meet and probably either surrender their phones or leave them at home. Having a walk by the beach in complete peace or simply meeting someone over a cup of coffee and discussing life in true sense and not in the virtual sense is real togetherness. Being close to the nature can actually work best when you want to spend time with someone in the true sense.

Arranging for a trek, going for a wildlife safari and other such fun activities are not just thrilling but also give an experience to remember for life time and this kind of an experience is way better than that the one any of the uploads or the posts of the virtual world can give.

No doubt about the fact that there is a lot that one can do with the help of the internet. It is actually possible to conquer the world in the true sense with the help of internet. Right from where to go, how to go, everything can be found out with the click of few buttons. However it’s said everything has its limit and when that is respected and taken care of life is a lot easier.

So that is what we should do, we should know how to make use of the internet for our benefit but at the same time it’s important that we do not get so addicted to it that we cannot give time to more valuable things in life like for example spending quality time with your loved ones.

SMILE ON THAT FACE WITH A SNACK ON THE PLATE

Hey folks!
We all have a go to friend or a go to person to whom we go when we are in doubt, when we need something or simply when we want to share something. We all have a go to person somebody who has got our back. Well for me my go to person is my mom.

When I am hungry, that’s like almost always; when I need to share some stuff with her; when I want her to just listen or even when I want her to guide me she is always right there in the corner, right there where I want her! (Oh I think that myself a cheerleader, ha-ha) Though really she is the one who is got my back.

If I talk about the n number of things that she does for me, the list would be too big and it would probably never end. Well for all that she has done for me and for all the smiles and joys that she has brought in my life, be it through her yummy food, her never ending care or her limitless love; there isn’t much that I can do to repay in any form or in any kind. However I can definitely do my bit to bring at least a smile.

They say that a way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, I think it’s not just true for men. I think a way to anyone’s heart is through their stomach only. The joy that good food gives and the smile that it brings, it’s one of its kind. Agree or not? :-P

So yes if it is about bringing a smile on the person’s face I love the most, my mom; what better could it be then to serve her a plate of smiles itself? McCain Smiles are so tasty and they even look very appealing. It is certain that even before she has them she would smile looking at them and yes the joy of eating would continue with each bite. They can be fried or baked in just 3 minutes so I don't really need to struggle for too long, ha-ha! Also they are cholesterol and trans-fat free, absolutely taking care of the health aspect as well. Taste bhi health bhi, seems perfect!

I would probably garnish them with some cheese and coriander just to add to the taste and also make a smiley with ketchup, wouldn’t that be very cute? J
This is how I would bring a smile on the person’s face I love the most, my Momma dearest!

If you too want to bring a smile on the face of your loved one, you should definitely look up http://www.mccainindia.com/ for amazing McCain Snacks.

#BEYOU

Hi all!
This post is in support of the initiative of promoting self love taken by treaclemoon. It is in support of their #BeYou project- http://www.treaclemoon.net/beyouproject/

We all our constantly trying to compete with one another, we are all constantly running this dog's race to do our best, to be the best and to be better than the rest.
I wish I was thinner, I wish I was prettier, I wish I was fairer, I wish I had longer hair, I wish I looked as good as that girl, I wish this, I wish that...We have all been there and done that, haven’t we? Why aren’t we ever happy with who we are or what we have? Why don’t we accept ourselves for what we are? 
Is it the society to blame or it is our own stereo typical mentality that forces us all to think this way? Remember even if we change, we have the power to change the whole society, yes we do. 

We women aren’t beautiful if we have long hair. We are beautiful if we have a beautiful heart. We are not pretty if we have a thin waist or a perfect body even fat is pretty if you have beautiful heart. It is okay if nobody compliments you for your dress, it’s pretty if you like it. 
You should be happy with who you are and what you have, that is and should be more than enough. It shouldn’t matter if everyone is wearing Armani and Zara and you are not as long as you are beautiful from within.

To be beautiful from within all you need is inner peace. All you actually need to do is love yourself with all your flaws and all your weakness. Accept yourself the way you are. 
No, don’t stop there. Grow constantly. Make yourself better than who you were. Don’t compete with others, just be your own best. Do things that make you happy. Do things that you like. Don’t just go with the flow, make your way out. 

Remember we were not born to be the same, we are all different and that’s what makes us beautiful. Be yourself and love yourself for what you are and who you are as it's also said an original is always worth more than copy, You are priceless when you are yourself and you are the best when you are just you so be #BeYou.
