Quikr NXT: the SMARTEST!

I work in the admission department of a very reputed school. So my phone keeps ringing more than any other employees of the school. I keep getting calls from parents on incessant basis when it is admission time. It was during this peak season that I had posted one ad on a website to sell my laptop.  One day, I got a call from a customer who was willing to give thirty thousand for my laptop. But I decided to wait for other customers to quote their prices.

But unfortunately, I didn’t get any better prices. So I decided to get back to the customer who had promised me thirty thousand. But to my utter shock I found out that I had not bothered to save that customers number and to find out the number from a vast list proved a gruelling task.

Ultimately, when I found out the number, the customer told that he had said thirteen thousand not the thirty thousand as the buying price of the laptop. Even if I tried to counter that he had said thirty not thirteen he didn’t agree with me.  I was really devastated. The confusion created due to the unreliable hearing systems had cost me very dear—I had failed to strike a deal.

Then I started to look out for a reliable source to sell things online. And I am glad to find out the Quikr NXT. I will sketch out the three reasons why I am glad using it.

The first reason:

By using its chat feature, the confusion created in quoting and accepting prices don’t exist. Now I can clearly write an amount for the interested buyer to see it clearly and they can also quote their prices clearly without getting into the trap of homophones. And the chat history feature of Quikr NXT  is a marvelous one indeed. Now I don’t have to perspire over finding out anyone who had called even a day ago. I can very easily trawl through the chat history and find out any one with whom I had a chat even a month ago.

The second reason:

Now I can easily share the picture of any of my products that I want to sell online using Quikr NXT. Earlier I had to go through a lot of perspiration to explain about the physical condition of the products that I wanted to sell. But now I only have to click some snaps of the items I am selling and I have to share. The prospective buyer can see the images and can get the real estimate about the condition of the product.

The third reason:

Now I can talk to any prospective customer using Quikr NXT without sharing my number on a public platform. Otherwise I used to get many anonymous calls that were meant to irritate and terrify.

All in all now my life is much easier with the use of QuikrNXT.

INDO-US Relation and Early Jubilation

A win-win situation has emerged after a long deadlock in relationship in certain areas between India and United States. The open passion shown by US President Mr. Barack Obama and Indian Premier Mr. Narendra Modi is unprecedented given the coverage and eyeballs, it generated during pre and post Republic Day celebration in this year.

The response of Chinese Government to the overflowing emotions that run immediate in Indo-US relationship in media, has sounded another logic to the pro-US synergy coming out of such understanding. In fact of late India has won few diplomatic Politico-Eco tactical positions in her Global role and in safeguarding and promoting trade and capital flows for consolidating or stabilising her position in Global market.

The major worrying thing is promise of sharing the same space in partnering development with many such powers including China, Japan , of late Us and then perhaps in future EU especially Germany on technological front. New diplomatic zero-sum prisoner's dilemma syndromes may be emerging if China offers concessions in terms of issue based support to Pakistan, backing India's quest for permanent position in UNSC , peaceful existence with Japan and granting more soft loan assisted infrastructure development programmes to India.

Considering the incremental growth in demand for oil contributed mostly from China-India-US in the last 10 years , considering the size and changing nature of importance of interdependence among these three economies for safeguarding their growth as Europe is failing to pick up, and sidelining and sliding of Russia , cheaper Japanese loan option and possible techno-project management assistance, etc. India is better suited to bargain for a growth at cheaper cost.

For this, the beauty of the diplomatic balancing act lies in not over-emphasizing particular event /s. Media, planners, experts, analysts intelligentsia, politicians need to explore and highlight alternatives to pressurize interested partners of growth, so that the distribution and gains from such partnering will safeguard our interests with equal weightage. Same is applicable to Business interest group and share holders to look beyond profits especially to areas of new employment potentials, income generation to the economy and future gains from that. Potentials of Make in India need to fit into such matrix.

We have both untapped market and growing incomes and with savings pitched high at 28-30%. A few percentage swings in consumer confidence will add to consumption along with this higher investment may help us achieving 6 to 8 % growth in few quarters. With inflation under comfortable level, low oil prices , low metal and commodity prices in the International Market, gradual change in norms for labour dis-engagement in Industrial sectors, attempts towards energy sufficiency via solar and nuclear energy, market deregulation and easing of subsidies, we are gearing for comfortable ride in 2 years time. 

US economy is poised for revival as Household credit position revives along with savings by some sections of households. Income growth in both economies is definite to help bilateral trade to grow manifold. And India's opening up of Defense sector, growth in aviation, more space in banking, insurances, FMCG , technology driven support services, smart city concepts provide lot of avenues to US investments, expertise. It is a good news for Indian diaspora in US.

Funding of India investment becomes easier. Restrictions on movement of skilled manpower eases too. Right time for Dr. Raghuram Rajan to initiate and introduce further reforms in phased manner over next few years in capital control to make Rupee more stabilized at its normal and to withstand short run pressures. We may find aligning of monetary policies by major Central Banks in years to come. India can be peacetime ally to control the spread of funded terrorism, for which more concessions may be in the pipeline.

एक पहचान, जो दूर तक तुम्हे अलग पहचान दे ,
या एक पहचान, जो तुम्हारे लाखो पहचान छुपा दे I

दिल ढूंढे  एक पहचान, जिससे रोशन लाखो और चेहेरे,
वरना कीमत तो ले, और सिर्फ़ परदे से बने ये चेहेरे I

बदल क्यूँ जाते हो लोग, जब तुम्हे दे ये चेहेरे,
वोही पहचान से वो डरे, जब काम करे ये चेहेरे I

Inimitable Dabur Chyawanprash!

Sprinting was passion of my son’s life.  Actually, sprinting was instilled in my son by my husband and his father who had been a national level athlete.  It was a dream of my husband to make our son a national level athlete.

Every day, practising for 100 meters and 400 meters races was his daily ritual. At the age of 14 he had made us proud us on many occasions. He had been a junior inter-state champion for hundred meter race. Those days, he was preparing for a national level athlete meet.

One morning, after returning from the practice, my son was looking frazzled. He was a strong built lad but that day he was looking a languished  soul. We thought that it could be due to over exercising and putting a lot of pressure on the body. So we advised him to take rest and take leave from the school. After having his breakfast he went to the bed complaining of tiredness.

In the afternoon, when I went to his room to wake him up for the lunch, I was in for a shock. His forehead was burning with fever and he was coughing mildly as well. I gave him some pills to control his fever. But as the time passed by his fever failed to die down and his coughing increased. Alarmed by this situation, I called my husband and took him to doctor.

There doctor diagnosed him with viral fever and gave him exact medicines to control his fever. He became normal after a week.

He again started practising for his upcoming event that was some three months away. Some fifteen days must have passed that he again fell sick with profusion of coughing. I thought that the cold climate of morning was taking toll on his body, so I started to give him the Haldi-doodh. But his situation didn’t improve and we again took him to the doctor who gave him the antibiotics.

He again had the antibiotics for a week and got cured of the fever.

One fine day my father-in-law visited our home. He used to come to meet us one time in six months. Actually, he used to take care of our ancestral house so usually he stayed there most of the time. My son was very fond of his grand- father.  He used to tell him stories of my husband’s childhood and his late mother.

After coming from practice, one day my son again came home shivering with fever. He was coughing as well. I advised him to take rest and went to the kitchen  and brought some nimbu-mirchi  to dispel the evil eye cast upon my son. I was sure that it was some evil eye that had affected my son otherwise how come a healthy boy can fall sick so frequently? As I was doing the ritual to dispel the evil, my father-in-law entered my son’s room and asked me why I was doing that ritual. I explained him everything.

After listening to me, he advised me to give my son Dabur Chyawanprash to improve his immunity and stay away from all irrational voodoos. He was also surprised that why it didn’t occur to my husband to give my son Dabur Chyawanprash as he was given Dabur Chyawanprash in his childhood to boost his levels of immunity.

I went to my neighbourhood market at that very time and bought a pack of Dabur Chyawanprash. I started giving my son two spoonful of Dabur Chyawanprash daily. And surprisingly my son didn’t fall sick for next one month.

Ultimately, he went on to win the gold medal in 100 & 400 meter races at the national athletics meet. That day, I felt really thankful to my father- in- law for his precious advice and to Dabur Chyawanprashfor its inimitable properties to boost immunity.

Garnier Pure Active: A Name of Confidence for me!

I worked as the security guard at the big imposing mall. There I witnessed how happiness could be bundled into plastic bags, there I witnessed why it is said every now and then that India is a booming economy, and there I witnessed how a feeling of love could remain unrequited.

I know that you are confused by my last sentence. So, allow me to dispel your confusion.

Like any girl in her twenties, I also nursed a feeling for someone… he also worked at the same mall as a security guard.

 Was that feeling love? You might ask. Yes… love it was.

After examining my feelings for him that included: my heart racing at the mere mention of his name, my nights being replete of his dreams and my eyes always roaming around the mall to have a glimpse of him, I deduced that yes I am suffering from loveria syndrome.

But the catch was that the feeling was one sided. I have tried everything with the help of ultra –feminine mannerisms -that a damsel falls prey to when in love-to seduce him but he has remained indifferent to any of my mute overtures.

I notice that he is very convivial while behaving with the other female security staffs that we have at the mall but with me he is always cold. He never gave any attention to me.

One day I smiled to him but his face remained fixed.

“What is wrong with me?”  I always wondered.

After closing of the mall I was going on an autorickshaw and suddenly on the rear mirror I noticed that my cheeks were covered with clusters of pimples. Suddenly, it dawned upon me that my pimples could be a reason that keeps him away from me.

Whole night I was tossing and turning on the bed. And when I slept I saw a very beautiful dream.

In that dream I was walking in the mountains blanketed with snow and trees. Generally, when you climb a mountain you gasp but I was not feeling even a wee bit of lethargy. With every step taken I was feeling fresh and new. As I was moving up I was being caressed by the leaves of trees swaying in the frosty wind. The whole scenery was really enchanting. I was feeling as if I was in heaven. As I reached the top of the mountain I saw a lake. Its water was crystal clear. I could see the colourful fishes swimming in the lake. When I leaned further to touch the fishes, I was stunned to see my shadow on the water of the lake. My cheeks were completely absolved of all the pimples. They felt amazingly smooth. I was feeling overjoyed and as I was about to touch my cheeks my eyes got opened and my dream broke.

I ran frantically towards the mirror of my room to check my cheeks… and when I reached the mirror… I found to my utter dejection that my pimples were still intact on my both cheeks.

Disappointed, I went to the mall. Whole day I was wishing that dream of mine to turn into reality. Towards the closing time of the mall my friend came to the mall to buy her monthly dosage of cosmetics. She dragged me along with her in the cosmetics store. As I  was trawling through the products, I saw a reflection of my dreams in the tubes of Garnier Pure Active. It was strange but I felt compelled to pick that up.

I started using that tube and after a week I saw a drastic change in my pimples. They were disappearing and my cheek skin was starting to feel smooth.

I noticed a change in behaviour of my crush. But you know what? After using the Garnier Pure Active I gained a kind of confidence that helped me reflect about intricacies of life. I thought that is having pimples so repulsive in life that my crush didn’t give any heed to me? It is belittling to judge a human being only on the base of their physical appearances, I thought. Though it is always nice to have a smooth pairs of cheeks but it is far better to stay away from people who judge others based on their looks.

To have a smooth skin is my right and that I was provide by Garnier Pure Active Neem Face Wash but at the same time it is also my responsibility to safeguard my self –esteem. I decided not to stoop so low and trample my self-esteem in order to get my love… infatuation or whatever.

Geared up by the confidence provided to me by Garnier PureActive Neem Face Wash I moved on in my life and one day I found  my real love who didn’t care about whether I had pimples or not. And more than removing my pimples, I admire Garnier Pure ActiveNeem Face Wash for imbuing me with aplomb.

Today I don’t have pimples but I have loads of confidence and for this I really that Garnier Pure Active Neem Face Wash.
