Promise your Lady Love this Women's Day

"In the house of trust,

You keep a promise and you add a brick,

Break a promise and you break the entire wall."

Promises do mean a lot in any relationship, a relation between two teen lovers stands on the promise that they won't leave each other tomorrow. A relation between a husband and his wife stands on the promise that they will be there for each other on every new second, new minute, new hour, new week, new month, New Year and every new birth. Which is exactly a promise taken during the marriages in Hindu religion when they say "Pati Patni ek dusre se vada kare ki vah ek dusre ka sath janmo-janmo tak nibhayenge" (Both Husband and Wife should promise each other that they support each other for births).

That phrase sounds good when it is chanted during the time of marriage but later as time passes and both husband and wife have to face the real problems of life, the promises seem to get neglected and ignored. And then then walls of start collapsing in their happy house of trust and love. 

So on this women's day it is time to revise those promises and I request every man who is reading this article to promise the following promises to their lady love:

1. "I will always find some time for her".

Husbands in late 30's have loads of responsibilities on them. These responsibilities of work, business, children, family relations, etc. sometimes makes them feel tired like a 70 year old man and they forget that they have a wife as well for whom they can't find time. I request all the husbands to dig out some quality time from their schedule for their lady, there can be a replacement of everything in your life except her.

2. “I will give her the freedom to live the life she wants”.

Society also plays a major role in every relationships and majority times it is a woman who is questioned the most. Her career, her job, and the kind of clothes she wears, etc. Take a promise that you will support her and give her the freedom to whatever she wants to do and you will stand with her to face the society.

3. “Promise yourself that you will be cent percent honest to her”.

Honesty is very important in any relationship. Relationships are built on the pillars of trust and if any of the two fails to be honest then the relationship falls like a house of cards. Honesty is also the best gift you can give her, so always Be Honest!!

Proper Planning: My mantra for #Colgate360GoldMornings

A perfect start in the morning helps us manage everything perfectly throughout the day. Referring the old proverb that "Well started is half done" plays a major role every day in every one's life and by the end of the when all the things start coming in our way, the good mornings turn into golden mornings and such golden mornings everyday helps us in succeeding in every challenges of our lives. 

If I talk about myself, being a wife, a mother and a daughter, my day starts early in the morning at 5 am where I am busy negotiating with the alarm for five extra minutes of sleep. Then as soon as I wake up I need to make sure that I am ready with everything before my children wake up. Need to arrange their clothes on properly, prepare breakfast for them and parallel to it I also need to finish up my work on time. Then waking up my children and preparing them to go to school, feeding them properly and then making them board the school bus ends my first challenge of the day. Then coming back home and waking my parents and husband, preparing their breakfast and placing my husband's things on right place is the second most important part of my day. Finally when my husband leaves for his office and my parents go to a nearby temple, I finish up the household chores and then finally I find some time for myself. I use that time to prepare some notes, read books and watch television. Then before leaving for the school I need to prepare lunch for everyone. And then after a working of 6 hours I come back home, look after my children's homework, prepare dinner, finish off the chores, arrange things for the next day and get back to sleep. 

And again on the next day the same process gets repeated. This is not only my story, this is the story of millions of mothers and housewives and surprisingly a single woman handles everything perfectly every day. And there is only one mantra which helps everything done in proper way, and the mantra is nothing other than Proper Planning. I plan everything well in advance on previous night which helps me manage everything perfectly on the next day, and that happiness which I get at the end of everyday itself is the success when everything go in my way for the entire day. And hence the good mornings turn into golden mornings.

Why Mumbai is my favourite city when it comes to driving

Which city comes in your mind when you and your friends are planning for a drive?

A drive is a great fun when we move out of our homes to discover new places by driving through the place with our vehicle. When we are planning for drive no matter if the drive is with our friends, family members or even a drive with just me and my car, we always look for a place which is best in terms of Drive, Design and connect.

First of all the feature of drive is very important as this is one of the primary things we keep in our mind while deciding a route for a drive. We decide those routes which give is the best driving experience and for a best driving experience we always look for a place which has the best roads. While looking for the best road we look for that road which is smoother, doesn't have holes, has very less speed breakers and also the road is very broad so that we don't face any kinds of obstacles such as a traffic jam which can spoil our fun of driving.

The next thing we look for is the design of the road. Generally we love to drive on roads which are either completely straight or flat or they have many twists and turns. A flat and straight road allows you to take your car which ever speed you want and a route with many twists and turns also gives a great driving experience. We also look for routes which have more number of highways or express ways so that the journey goes long without any interval.

The road which connects many other places within a shorter and straight route is also loved by people when they are planning for a drive across the city. A drive across the city is fun as you can visit many other places inside the city in a single drive.

When I keep all these features in mind, there is only on city which pops in my mind. And that city is in fact the place where I currently stay, the city of dreams, Mumbai. I have been living in this city since the last 7 years and these are the reasons why it stands up to be my favourite city when it comes to driving:

1. Smooth Driving Experience:
Although there are maximum number of potholes on the roads of Mumbai during the rainy season, we still get a comfortable driving experience overall. Except for a few places with huge traffic jams, the other parts of Mumbai can be rated be better with respect to many other cities across India.

2. Design of the city:
Mumbai stands average when it comes to design, there are IT parks, big hotels, International Airport, Railways and Bus stations which add to the beauty of the city. But the city is still developing and there are many places in which need to be redesigned. But on the other hand roads of Mumbai are well designed and it gives a metropolitan feel when we drive across various express ways, flyovers and the Worli Sea Link.

3. Connectivity in the city:
There are all kinds of transportation services like buses, local trains, auto rickshaws, taxi, cab, trucks, metro, monorail, etc. which help you to travel across the city. The roads in Mumbai support all kinds of vehicles and the land transport system connects you to every corner of the city via the land route.

These are the reasons why I feel that Mumbai is #madeofgreat city and I find it the best when it comes to driving.

Sugar Free Chocolate Vanilla Ice cream Sandwich.

We do eat a lot of cakes during many occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries, parties, etc. But have you ever tried to eat Chocolate vanilla Ice cream Sandwich. Many of us might have had this but we might be calling it with different names. Today I will be sharing the recipe on how to make Chocolate vanilla ice cream sandwich, but there is some twist is the recipe. I will be adding Sugar Free Natura, and will be explaining you how you can prepare this recipe free of sugar without compromising on the taste just by replacing the sugar with Sugar free Natura.

Here are the ingredients of the recipe:

1.     All-purpose flour (2 cups).

2.     Butter (Half cup).

3.     Powdered Sugar (Half cup).

4.     Cocoa Powder (1 cup).

5.     Milk (1 cup).

6.     Condensed milk (Half cup).

7.     Baking powder (2 tsp.)

8.     Baking Soda (1 tsp.)

9.     Vanilla Ice cream (1 Litre pack Available in Market).

Here are the steps on how to make the Chocolate Vanilla Ice cream Sandwich. First we need to prepare a chocolate cake.

1.     Mix all-purpose flour, Cocoa powder, Baking Soda and Baking powder properly. Use a sieve to strain it. This will mix them properly.

2.     Now mix Butter, Powdered sugar and Condensed Milk properly till the mixture becomes fluffy. After the mixture becomes fluffy, add a little milk to dilute the mixture. 

3.     Now add the mixture of the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder and baking soda to the mixture of Butter, sugar and condensed milk. Mix them well and stir only in one direction. Now our paste is ready.

4.     Now take a square or rectangular container, grease it using butter and butter paper and then add the paste. Shake the container well so that the paste spreads well in the container.

5.     Preheat the oven at 180 degree centigrade and place the container inside it. Bake it on the same temperature for 25 minutes.

6.     Now our cake is ready. Remove it out of the oven and cool it at room temperature. After it gets cooled down, remove the cake out of the container and then cut it in the size of approx. 1 cm in height. You can select the length and width according to you. Make sure all the pieces are cut in approximate same dimensions.

7.     Take Vanilla Ice cream out of the Fridge and cut them in the same sizes as you had cut the cake.

8.     Put the Ice cream between two cake blocks and serve them. You can also use chocolate cream and dry fruits to decorate the dessert. 

If you may have noticed, we have used a lot of sugar in this recipe due to which it is not advised to be serve to Heart and diabetes patients. But they are also human beings and they also may wish to have this delicious dessert. So do we have any solution for them?

Yes, I will suggest you to use artificial sweeteners instead of sugar. The best fact about artificial sweeteners is that they are very healthy and diet friendly. I will be suggesting you to use Sugar Free Natura. 9 Tablets or Pellets of Sugar Free Natura are equivalent to one Tablespoon of Sugar. So you can use around 25-30 tablets of Sugar Free Natura to get the same taste in the dessert what you got using natural sugar, but the best fact about using Natura Sugar is that it won't affect the health of Heart and Diabetes patients. And everyone in your family from your grandparents to you and your children can enjoy this dessert without any worries of health issues.

Clothing methods for perfect skin care of a baby.

Clothing is one of the most important topic of concern for a mother when it comes to dressing her baby. Every mother loves dressing her baby with new colorful clothes so that her baby looks cute and loving and also she makes sure that the clothes that have been put on her baby really make the baby feel comfortable.

Sometimes even a little negligence can prove to be a big danger for a baby's skin and it becomes very important for a mother to select clothes that do not harm her baby's skin. Here are the 5 things a mother should consider for a baby's clothing that are safe for the baby's skin:

Dress a baby only with cotton clothes:

Cotton clothes are natural and they do not contain any harmful chemicals in the cloth material which is really very healthy for a baby's skin.Cotton clothes also keep the baby cool and comfortable in all the seasons. Hence it is highly recommended for a mother to only dress a baby with clothes made up of cotton.

Avoid artificial clothes which look a little fancy.

Clothes in earlier days of a baby should only be meant for covering the baby's body completely from top to bottom. Nowadays we find many fancy clothes coming in the market which are highly not recommended to mothers as they can cause rashes on the skin of a baby.

Avoid using Langots

Langots are being tied on a baby since ages and it is a traditional way of dressing a baby. But during those days we did not have advanced technology and that is the reason why we used to use Langots. Also another reason is that nowadays there are many things in the air that can cause infections. A baby's private parts need to be handled with perfect care so that the baby stays healthy. People are still debating on the topic whether Langots are better than diapers or vice-versa, but according to me I feel that diapers also provide with good absorbing capabilities and that is the reason why it keeps the baby's skin dry and healthy.

Use good diapers

As discussed earlier that the diapers provide a good soaking capability, they also provide good comforts to the baby and always help maintaining a smile on the face of a baby. They also prevent infections from entering a baby's body which I feel is the biggest advantage of using diapers.

Avoid using artificially colored clothes

It is recommended to mothers that they should only use clothes with either white or some lighter colors. Dark colors contain chemicals which can cause rashes on a baby's skin hence mothers should avoid using them.

These were 5 clothing tips for mothers for their babies, thanks for reading them and I hope my tips may help you. Readers will be appreciated if they share their experiences in the comments section, Thank you.

5 things for a baby's perfect skin care.

Babies are best hings that happen to a mother and every mother puts her best efforts in taking care of her baby. A mother wakes up early in the morning and and does all her work trying to avoid even a single noise which can affect her baby's sleep, also she puts all her luxuries aside to make the baby feel comfortable. She takes the baby for a bath, massages the baby's entire body, dresses her with good clothes and then sings, dances and makes drama all day to entertain her baby and make the baby happy.

Besides all this there is one of the most important thing that a mother needs to take care about her baby and that is the baby's skin. There are almost many ways how a mother takes care of her baby's skin, some are natural ways which are being followed since ages and the other ones are the new methods that the latest science research has suggested to keep the baby skin safe. Here are the 5 things according to me that can help to keep a baby's skin softer and healthy:

Using cotton balls instead of rough clothes.

Generally people use old clothes to wipe out the wastes on a baby's skin but that in some way is also harmful for baby's skin. Rough clothes do help us clean that portion but that indirectly is more harmful for the baby as there are chances of rashes due to this. I will suggest the mothers to use soft cotton as it can absorb away the liquid and also it is softer in feel.

Avoid using ordinary talcum powder

Nowadays talcum powders come with some harmful chemicals. Those chemicals are added so that it can give a good fragrance also it helps in leaving some cooling effect. Mothers generally use it during summer so that baby stays cool and rashes are prevented. But this theory is wrong, that talcum powder is harmful for the baby.

Use proper moisturizers.

Moisturize a baby's skin rather than keeping it wet. A wet skin can make the baby feel uncomfortable, it may invite infection on a baby's skin and also it can cause her cold. But on the other side moisturizers help in keeping baby's skin softer, smoother, comfortable and act like a shield that prevents infections to enter the body.


Don't use besan.

Using besan on a baby's skin so that it makes the skin more fairer is being followed since ages, but that really doesn't help the baby and it is also harmful for the baby's skin cells. If things like besan would have helped making skin fairer then I think there would have been no black human existing on this planet. But the truth is that it harms a baby's skin rather than making it fairer.

Use proper diapers.

Diapers are really very important for a baby's skin, there used to be days in our childhood when our mothers used to tie us 'Langots' but today science has given us some more better methods and products which helps us keep the baby skin soft and also avoids any type infections getting into a baby's skin.

A baby's skin is something that requires a proper care, do make sure you as a mother take the best care of your baby.

Real Togetherness at Kissanpur

How will you define your meaning for Real Togetherness?

You may say that Real togetherness means having those selected people around you whom you love and care the most and in return they too care for you equally. But due to our busy schedule the meaning of real togetherness for us has only limited us to connect with each other via the social networks or calling each other once or twice a week. 

We all have great memories from our past which have the best real togetherness moments captured in them but having the same time again is a dream that we a have but due to on or the other reasons our life restricts us from doing it. I remember my days of childhood when I and my three other friends Maria, Joel and Jessica used to spend hours in our college campus bunking lectures and enjoying the golden days of our life. Maria used to play Guitar very well and we used to sit in the garden facing each other and used to sing songs on the melodies payed by her. Then we used to remove our lunch boxes and every one of us used to eat a little from everyone's lunch box. We grew up in those days when there was no great advancement in technology so we didn't had smart phones with 5 Megapixels camera and hence taking a selfie was something what none of us knew. But we still used to take selfies of each other with the most loving and creative way drawing sketches of each other. And then in the evening we used to go to the famous tea stall outside our college, a cup of tea with some biscuits was something that we used to have in our own way by dipping the biscuits inside the tea and then waiting for the tea to cool down a little. And then all four of us used to return back to our homes on our bicycles. Those days were really awesome where all four of us were each other's life and each of us used to care about others equally. 

Looking to our lives now, things have changed much compared to what it used to be a few years before. Everyone has their own life and have settled in different parts of the world and everyone has their own families to look after now. But after having a throwback to the past and replaying all the memories we had recorded in those days, I feel that I want to live in those days again where all four of us used to spend time in a natural surroundings. And to do that I would like to take everyone to Kissanpur where we can step out of the digital world we are living in today to a world of love, happiness and joy. Here is a video of Kissanpur made by Kissan where you can experience Real Togetherness with your loved ones.
