Do You Love your Clear & Pure Skin

I wonder sometimes how we can protect our body and skin from pollution,dust & germs we face while commuting in our environment on a daily basis. As a working professional we always travel day and night to work by using different modes of transportation, few uses public transport like local trains, metro, buses, taxis or auto rickshaws whereas some prefer travelling by personal vehicles like car's, bike or office bus, etc. But irrespective of the commutation mode you choose you will get affected by  pollution and dust in roads. The direct contact with pollution, dirt & germs present in polluted air causes skin problems, Pimple, Acne & oil secretion which you will face on a day to day basis.

I have oily skin which is too prone to pimples or acne and attracts dust a lot. When I was in school, I didn't bother about the pimples so much. When I relocated to Mumbai after my engineering degree. It became a usual problem for me. Because of pollution and my unhealthy diet, which is common for bachelor IT professionals, fighting from pimples became a full time challenge for me. My face was full of black marks left by old pimples and new one were always ready to take place of old pimples. But it was enough for me to wake up and I started searching for remedies and one day I saw a television commercial of Garnier pure active Neem face wash to cure pimples. We all know face is a very important part of our body. I didn't waste a single moment and went almost running to the nearest supermarket to buy Garnier pure active Neem face wash.

We all know Neem is a well known for its antibacterial attributes, helps in reducing pimples and acne, and their re-occurrence. Its herbal ingredients eliminate pimple causing bacteria and purifies our skin and helps to cure and occurring of pimples.

Garnier Pure Active Neem Face Wash - My Review

This face wash is priced at Rs 75 for 100 GM and is specially designed for pimple prone skin like mine. Its application required a very small amount, hence value for money and last for almost a month if you use it on a daily basis, but I will recommend to use it twice a day for better result. Its texture is Jelly and doesn't appear to contain soap, though it foam well upon application and removes excess oil and pimple causing bacteria. Upon application you will feel the essence of neem and tea tree oil with nice fragrance. You will feel skin soft and clean.

I also observed it may cause dryness in winter, especially to those who have dry skin types, its but perfect for oily skin and give better results.

Add Magic to Your Kids Vacation's -Teddy Travelogues

During my childhood, I used to be a kid who was very close to nature and loved  my holiday's  with  my family & relatives. In Summers we used to travel to my grandmother's place from Bhopal  to Govindgarh a very small village hidden in the midst of Wild nature, almost covering 800 k.m. of distance  by train or by road. From what I remember, every time we used to  travel for more than 24 hours. The journey was always full of fun, looking all those places, animals, rocks, rivers, jungle's  from a train window, everything was new & fascinating. Being a kid you will always have some bubbling experiences throughout your childhood. You keep those memories for life time & later when you remind them,they will bring you an pleasant smile on your face.

Now coming to the topic, how we can add some magic in our child's vacation either we are travelling to a tourist place for long trips or we  are celebrating a festival at home. Can you remember all those vacation's where you bring your kids, you will feel the difference, those holidays with kid's will consist of some extra spice, some magical memories including immense love & fun in comparison to those in which you went without kid's.

Vacations are always full of fun for childrens, they love everything, enjoying away from school life, full freedom from studies, no tuition's nothing no worries at all, close to family and friends. They just feel wonderful. In this I will share my view's on how we can add some extra magic to their holiday by keeping below points into consideration.

Kid's love long Vacation at Popular Resorts  : 

We all know that children's just love Resorts & Natural places. If you are planning for a long trip to a Resorts like (Asthamudi in Kerala, Binsar valley in Uttarakhand). Club Mahindra  provides  a various range of resorts which have a Kids Club etc ,where you can sit back & relax, whereas your kid's will be taken care by Fun Rovers of  Club Mahindra, it might be possible they will have so much fun that, they probably won't want to leave the resort. These resorts have various activities for your kids including sports, workshops on guitar lessons, music etc, which will add some extra value to your kid's vacation.

Take them to their favourite Picnic Spot : 

On short holidays ,you can always visit nearest picnic spot in your locality ,In general kid's prefer natural places like Zoo's, Gardens, parks  etc. In case you don't have a natural one, you can always go for popular amusement parks or a water park.

Eg .In Mumbai we have Borivali National Park, Essel world, Imagica etc.

Children's Loves  Nature & its creativity (Manali  /Ooty /Mahabaleshwar ) /site Seeing :

We know that children's are very close to nature ,they love the Fl aura & Fauna, butterflies, flowers , gardens, rock, mountain everything. Site seeing while on holiday trips, it's a best way  to add enthusiasm & fun & will add to general knowledge of our Kid's.

Sapno Ka Ghar - Porcelanosa Style #24KLiving

24KLiving

I have been away now from my birth place for almost 10 years now. Starting from my IIT Preparation, then Engineering & last, but not the least my IT Career in Mumbai ,During this period ,I  lived  in cities like bhopal, Indore, Banglore & Mumbai.

But the feeling of  being away from home always bites me ,I have been renting the places ,flats  & apartments all these years .but as now things for me are quite stable I am planning to go for a new apartment in Mumbai.

Last night I was simply sitting & thinking about my dream home & suddenly in Mid-night I got an 
e-mail from Indiblogger for writing a post on my Dream Home by using products  from the website   of  the  world -celebrated venture   "Porcelanosa".

While browsing & searching ,I found that Porcelanosa ventures into India with one of the renowned real-estate player Kolte-Patil Developers Ltd with a series of projects named as 24K Province consisting residential ,commerical & limited edition residences.

To know more about Kolte-Patil Developers  projects & ventures please click here for #24KLiving


Next morning I was so excited & immediately logged into the Porcelanosa portal & begin my search of dream home at Porcelanosa site.
I must say I was amazed to see the product categories & world class sanitary products including wall & floor tiles.I went one by one to all products & categories on Porcelanosa portal & selected below items for dream home.I would be out of this world the day when this will become reality .

After whole day of search,I have chosen below products for my dream home .

Mera Sapno Ka Ghar

XLIGHT Wall Tiles : 

Everybody must have heard this saying in Hindi "Deewaren Bolti hai". I must say the Wall tiles available on Porcelanosa website were simply awesome in terms design & look. I will choose XLIGHT series of wall tiles because these  are made up Porcleain tile by Urbatek & is characterised by its extra-large format & minimum thickness. It's an natural evolution of ceramic & I loved the colours & patterns available in catalogue.They are much lighter than traditional wall tiles.

Laminate Floor Tile :

Laminate flooring is characterised by its resistance,I loved the wide range of colours & formats available in Porcelanosa Laminate collection by L'Antic Colonial is truly unique.

Wardrobes & Dressing rooms :

I love  my wardrobe ,so you can say it as  my best place where I can find my all favourite outfits & accessories .We all know space is one of the major concerns in metro cities ,so I would love to have something which cover less space & provide optimum results in terms storage capacity & layout of our stuffs .

KRION Design Kitchen :

For everyone kitchen is the best place for high activities including cooking ,eating & is centre of all activities in one's life.So I will go for glass or KRION based components provided by Porcelanosa website such as counter tops,fronts or shelves & various designs as per storage needs with tall cupboards & integrated domestic appliances .Really love to have such kitchen in my "Sapno Ka ghar "

This is something I dream about & I would like to thank #24Kliving activity by +IndiBlogger  for allowing me to drill down my imagination of dream home & making it into reality with the help of Porcelanosa .

Being an Healthy Child #ImmuneIndia

Being a son of an Army Officer ,I have been travelling to almost all states of India with my family .We were two children's in my family including my elder brother . As we know Army people always like discipline ,cleanliness & time table we were bound to follow that at home .

So this was where it all started to be a healthy child .

As said by John Locke "A sound mind in a sound body , is a short but full description  of a happy state in this world "  

As you can see from heading  of my article what it takes to be a healthy child & how it creates a Joy full home with lots of happiness & healthiness ,let me give you an example how my father & his discipline from army help me to become a healthy child & today an fit adult .

I used to be very thin & slim during my childhood ,so my Mom started worrying about my health .

Those days my Dad used to bring  Dabur Chyanwanprash & some protein powders from army canteen ,which my mom started giving me with Milk .I used to hate glass of Milk ,but my Mom induced  me on one term that if I will finish the whole glass of milk ,every time I will get an extra spoon of Chyawanprash . That's how it started ,I used to finish  every single glass of milk ,just to get some extra Chyawanprash .In addition to this my dad used to take me early morning to the army training ground with him .I always wondered why my dad & other military person used to do such hardcore exercises & running ,but later I realized the importance of it .

We need Energy & Immunity for our body to fight against any kind of disease or illness .Have you ever wondered what are the sources from where we get immunity to overcome infections by such bacterias & virus . Immunity can be of two types Naturally acquired & Artificially acquired .

A child can get both of these  ,As everyone has their own natural immune system , to get artificial immunity we need to intake some external herbs & natural anti-oxidants to increase our immunity  .That is where products like Chyawanprash ,Natural Almonds ,Dry fruits come into play ,they will provide us & our children almost all required natural ingredients to create a healthy immune system within our body .As Dabour Chyawanprash consists of 40 natural ingredients which  seems to be sufficient for a growing kid to get extra immunity & become fit .So with some proper exercise  discipline & extra healthcare we can become immune from all harmfull things .

A healthy Child is always a source of happy family & a happy family will make healthy society ,which in turn make our country more healthier & Immune .So we should make sure that our children & family members posses sound mind in a sound body which will make our country an #ImmuneIndia 

This article is part of an Indiblogger Activity  for  Dabur Chyanwanprash

So lets Cheers for Happy & Healthy India !!

My Real Black Side,My Real Desire !!

I was always interested in everything which is Black & White !! Now when it comes to Black ,I always get stunned immediately .During my childhood I used to get fascinated while seeing things which are dark eg. black cars,black accessories ,T-Shirts ,Toys one I had seen a black dog that always does some tricks.In school I read the black hole theory in physics which still not clear in my mind .

What I had : 

My bajaj avenger

During my college days ,I owned a Black cruise bike" Bajaj Avenger " .Also got a nice black leather jacket from "Globus" to have a sporty look with my bike with a nice polyester black Reebok T -Shirt ,which still I have .Just to add some looks able to find one "RayBan" Black shade aviator from one friend ,as those days I was getting  few thousands bucks for monthly expanses from my father ,couldn't afford to buy a new one ,In this way my love for black made me to go for everything whatever I was able to afford till now .

Rayban-Gifted by a friend

My Black Globus Jacket & RBK T-shirt

In words of Johnny cash  

" I wore black because I liked it .I still do ,and wearing it still means something to me. It's still my symbol of rebellion-against a stagnant status quo,against our hypocritical houses of god,against people whose minds are closed to others' ideas. "

What I wish :

If someone ask me now you can choose whatever you want in this world & that too in  black below is my Black wish list :

1-SUZUKI GSX R1300 Hayabusa -Pure Black : 

This is my dream bike that to in shining black ,this is of one the fastest bike available on sale now days in market ,so there is no wonder why ,some people call it black queen of sports bike by rewarding its rider with ground breaking performances ,tasty design & a sporty look .When a group of girls see me riding this queen they should be shouting like #What the BLACK ..... 

2-Rolex Blaken Watches with DLC -Coating (Set of 5)  : 

Rolex watches are once pride of richness & royalty ,these blaken watches are created using multiple patented highly -tech procedures & are coated with diamond like carbon .The black combos of 5 sets is sufficient for your life time requirement of watches .I would love to have them in all flavours once it's on my hand you will immediately say #What the BLACK

3-The Black Tuxedo -Jackie Chan Suit :

Those who are fan of Jackie ,they must have watched "The Tuxedo" movie based on a black suit ,which grant its wearer special abilities( including martial arts,various acrobatics abilities,speed ,ability to dance etc) ,I loved the movie ,a perfect combination of  comedy & action driven by this perfect stylish black Tuxedo which make me wish ,that I should be having this kind of black suit one day ,which will provide  these powers & skill  ,I will impress the girl I want as done by Jimmy- a Spy played by Jackie in the film  ,I will do what I want with these powers .

4- iPAD mini -Black with Retina display:

Everyone is fond of apple products ,but when it comes to price sometime we resist and go for other available products as substitute .For me as an IT guy computer gadgets & tablets were always  close companions .

I always wished for ipad that too in shining black ,but I sustained with my cell phone to use as tablet .I  used my Black Lumia 625 & later 1320 as substitute for tablet .But still If I will go for a tablet then this mini black beauty will be on top of my list .That is the Apple people say this product as "SMALL WONDER".
and when I see it I always say it #What the BLACK 

i Pad Mini with Retina display

5-Tanglewood -Black Electro-Acoustic Guitar :

My passion for music was always there since my college days I wanted a guitar & my gf promised me one too ,but I never got one till now .The black vibrant guitar is my wish ,don't know when  it will get fulfilled ,but will wait for that moment surely .Tanglewood Venetian guitars are uniquely styled to offer a compromise between the full bodied dreadnought shape & smaller super folk shape .Black music geek ,people will call me & they will shout when they see me with my guitar #What the BLACK .....

In all ways black is such a happy colour ,black is absorption of all colors  & the absence of light .
It absorbs all the negative energy around you .I love black ,I live black  & at the end
"Black is the end ,but the end always implies a new beginning"
