Mumbai - A perfect Drive, Design and Connectivity

My first job was in Mumbai and now I have come Delhi for my third job. If we talk about drive, design and connect both have their own positives and negatives. I still like Mumbai more when it comes to drive, design and connect. However, the traffic density in Mumbai is more than Delhi but still Mumbai is the best. I still remember driving late night near marine drive and enjoying my drive with my colleagues. Also, driving near juhu beach was so much fun that I cannot forget. I and my friends loved driving in Mumbai.

Design: Design of Mumbai is simple and straight. It is straight in design. If you want to go to a place you have to travel straight and you have very less option in terms of route. The design is good and you keep on driving straight with some nice music turned on to listen to. The highways are designed very efficiently. The city is very well designed according to me. 

Connectivity: Mumbai is very well connected and it’s easy to find and travel to a place. The flyovers connect various places of Mumbai very well and you will never face any difficulty in reaching a destination. Even, if you miss a cut or take a wrong turn you can easily make a U-turn and get back to the correct turn or take the correct road. The highways connect each and every place and you can travel to place easily through the highways. The roads and highways are also very well connected to eachother.

Drive: Talking about the drive of Mumbai it is filled with scenic beauty while you are on drive. Driving at marine drive in the night and seeing the lights is one scene that nobody can miss and I bet you cannot find a better place to see especially in the night while you are driving. Just put on some nice music and you will love the drive. Driving near the beaches of Mumbai is also one thing that nobody would ever like to miss. I myself loved, each and every drive which I did near the beaches.

I think that if there is a place with a good design and connectivity with a great scenic beauty to see while you are driving is Mumbai. However, in peak hours you may find some traffic in Mumbai but that is just because of the traffic density in Mumbai. But, once you start your drive during the night when the traffic density is less you would fall in love with driving in Mumbai. I still miss driving in Mumbai late in the night and watching the lights at marine drive.

Kaju Katli - Made With SugarFree Natura

Kaju Katli is my favourite dessert which I can have daily after dinner. My father and mother both are diabetic so I cannot keep it at home. But, it will be very good to prepare it at home with the all new Sugarfree Natura.

Fastest Network Ever - Airtel 4G

Living a life at a slow pace was never in my mind. I have always been an ardent opportunist in every phase of life. Using fast pace edge technology is what I have always done. This time it’s the Airtel 4G which is fast, speedy, time saver and will make my work easier and quicker.

 

I have been using 3G for a long time but I always felt that the speed of my mobile data is slow. Uploading pictures took lot of time and in the end I never uploaded pictures on mobile data. Whenever, I used to watch high quality videos on mobile data they used to load very slow and most of the time the videos stuck on streaming. While travelling in metro I listen to online music and they used to load very slowly. Downloading applications on mobile data has also been very time consuming till now. Because of low data speed I have been unable to do many things on my mobile which I always wanted to do.  Low mobile data speed has always been a problem for me.

 

With Airtel 4G I can

Easily Upload Pictures: Uploading picture will become very easy for me on 4G with high speed data transfer speed. I never upload much pictures while on the go because of low data speed. Now, I will be able to click and upload pictures at a high speed.

Watch High Quality Videos: I like to watch video songs on my mobile in the morning but because of low data speed I never watch them as it takes a very long time for streaming. With Airtel 4G I will watch high qualities video without streaming problems and would be able to watch videos without any interruption.

Listen to Music: With high speed data transfer rate from Airtel 4G I will listen to music whenever I want without any pause problems which always occur while I listen to music.

Download Videos: I download videos very frequently and downloading a video on my current plan takes a lot of time because of slow speed. I love old songs and always wanted to download and save old video songs on my phone but could not to this because of low mobile data speed. With Airtel 4G I will get high data transfer rate and downloading videos will become very fast and will save a lot of time for me.

Install applications: Because of low data speed I never download much applications on my mobile because it’s very time consuming. Downloading an application which is heavy in size has always been a tough task for me till now. With Airtel 4G I will be able to install applications which I like.

UC Browser - Surf it All! Surf it Fast!

For cricket fans missing a single match is like a nightmare. My whole family is a big time cricket fan. I remember all my family sitting in front of the television and watching cricket matches. I am also a big fan of cricket and make sure that I never miss a cricket match. When you are at home it’s easy to watch a match. Sometimes, there are situations when you have to go out and you have to miss a cricket match. The situations can be

• You have to go to a family function and if you say no than you have to get in an argument.
• You have your exams and parents are not allowing you to watch television.
• You have to go for shopping

I remember a case of mine when I said no to my parents for going to a family function. I had an argument with them for half an hour that I don't go to family functions. I show no responsibility and act immaturely. There was a match between my favourite teams India and England. The best part of the argument was that I stayed at home and got to watch the match. This was the scenario a few years back. Now with technology, we can watch a complete cricket match on mobile phone. But, the only problem which I find in watching cricket matches online are they are too slow.

Earlier, I used to think that my internet connection is a problem then I got my mobile plan changed from 2G to 3G. The same problem was still there, the webpages took so long to load and the videos were all the time buffering. Then one of my friend told me that why don’t you change your browser and Install UC browser it’s the fastest browser.

I downloaded the UC browser and when I opened a webpage it loaded very fast. When I opened a video on youtube through UC browser the videos loaded very fast without any interruption. Now, when I am not at home and I need to watch live cricket I use only UC browser. You can surf webpages, watch videos and browse pictures at a very fast speed only with UC browser. UC browser is really the fastest web browser I have used so far. I would recommend UC browser to everyone for a faster internet experience on your devices.

UC browser also has a separate icon for UC cricket. To open UC cricket you can find out the UC cricket icon on the UC browser home page. UC Browser provide the best cricket service in India including Live Scores & Latest News.

• Live Scores with auto update

The New My Airtel App

In prepaid numbers there are always issues of getting your number recharged. Sometimes your balance becomes too low that you cannot even make a missed call. At that moment you have to rush to a shop nearest to you and get your mobile number recharged.  Imagine if you are out of your home town and your balance becomes low, at that moment it’s very difficult to find a shop to get your number recharged. My airtel app solves this problem by providing a recharge feature in the app. Also, you can select various offers which suit you the most in the offers menu. The three key features which best suit my lifestyle are: 

 

Recharge: From the past two months my balance is running very low all the time. I had to go to the shop near me and get my mobile number recharged. My father also has an airtel number and sometimes he also tells me to get his number recharged. Whenever I am not at home I am at the recharge shop or in the market. When I downloaded the My Airtel app it made my life easier. Now, I can recharge my mobile number and my father's mobile number on my mobile using my debit card with the app while sitting at home or anywhere.

Cashback Coupons: Whenever I make a transaction with my airtel app I get cashback coupons. I am very fond of travelling, eating and fashion. When I do a transaction on my airtel app I get an option to select a cashback. I select the cashback option which is useful to me and goes with my lifestyle. There are various cashback offers which you get on my airtel app. I always pick one while doing a recharge and the best part is that they are easily redeemable and I have not faced an issue till now while redeeming the coupon.

Offers:  My airtel app shows you all the offers which are available on your mobile number. I am always travelling so I have to select an offer with low roaming rates. Earlier, I had to do a lot of research to find the best offer for me. I used to call my friends who travel a lot and ask them about the offers which are currently available. My calling at night is more as compared to my calling in the morning. I have to also take a plan which has low calling rates at night. After all the research I used to get my number recharged. Now, with my airtel app I can easily view all the offers on the offers page and select the offer which is best suitable for me.

Apart from these there are many other features like tracking your service requests and many more.

A Healthy 'Nashta' at Guptaji's House

I am a working woman and a mother. I have to stay fit and healthy because of my job profile. When it comes to breakfast I have very little time to prepare it as I have to rush to office and prepare my little one for school. It’s easy for me to make something which is easy and fast to make. Apart from this it should have all the nutrients which would fulfill the daily amount of required nutrients for me and my family.

A light breakfast with low fat and good amount nutrients is good for a person’s health.  The only problem is the number of choices you have for a healthy breakfast. I always think of preparing something new for breakfast in the morning but end up making a simple butter toast for the entire family. Now, my kids have also started saying to me that you make a very boring breakfast for us.

When I read the recipes with guptaji’s family I liked them very much. The recipes are very nutritious and are good for a healthy breakfast. The recipes are very different from what I prepare in my daily routine and look very tempting. All the recipes are prepared with Kellogg’s cornflakes. I will try all the recipes one by one at my home also.

I will go to guptaji’s house for ‘nashta’ because I know I will have a good time with them. Their family seems to be very nice and courteous. I would ask them to make my favourite dish which I have selected from their recipe page which is First Crush Wala Nashta – Walnut Cornflakes Choco balls. I love chocolate and having something in breakfast with chocolate in it would be awesome. I have read the recipe and it’s easy to prepare and I know will not take much time for preparation. The ingredients of the recipe are chopped dark chocolate, chopped milk chocolate, ground cornflakes (lightly roasted), chopped walnuts and vanilla essence (oil based). You have to mix the ingredients in a microwave safe bowl and microwave on a high for a minute or till chocolate melts, while stirring in between. Repeat, to make more balls and refrigerate till set.

I will try to learn all the recipes at guptaji’s house so that I can prepare some nice and different dishes in the breakfast for my family. My family loves variety in food and once I learn these recipes at guptaji’s house I will prepare all the recipes one by one at home. I know my kids will love all the dishes made with Kellogg’s cornflakes. It would be a pleasure visiting guptaji’s house for ‘nashta’, meeting everyone in their house and learning some nice and tempting dishes there.

A Day Spent with my Best Friend

There are problems in your life which you cannot share with your family. You can only share those problems with your friends.  Especially after marriage when you have to be cautious while telling things to your parents. They might get worried if they make out that you are not happy after marriage. I got married last year in winters. After marriage I started facing lot of issues from my in-laws. The issues were innumerable that sometimes the stress level was uncontrollable and I used to feel like sharing all my thoughts with my parents. 

I could not share my problems with my parents as it would make them more worried.  Luckily I had one friend with whom I used to share all my heart out. We were in school together and went to the same tuition center. We used to spend a very good time together. This time I thought of meeting her in person at our favourite place, where we used to have lunch sessions and gossip all the time before my marriage. I called her up and we planned to meet on Sunday at Connaught Place. I got up early in the morning on that Sunday. My husband asked me that "Where are you going early in the morning?" I told him that I am going to my mom’s place and asked him to drop me there. My house is very near from my in-laws place and it takes around 15 minutes to reach there.

I told my friend to pick me up from my mom’s place. As soon as my husband dropped me, I called her up and she reached my place in an hour. She has a very helpful nature and is ready to help friends whenever they want. We had a lot of chit-chat in the car and decided to go to White Waters for Lunch in Connaught place, our old meeting joint where we used to have gossip and discuss about our lives. I told her about my problems which I was facing post-marriage. She got married two months before my marriage. She gave me some nice suggestion on how to manage everything. She told me that you have to be patient in everything and need to handle things maturely.

Friends play a very important role in your life and they are ready to help you whenever you need them. After I met her I got strength and motivation which I needed to manage everything.  Meeting her and sharing my problems with her filled me with optimism. Now, it’s been six months since we met and I am able to manage everything at my in-laws. I followed the suggestions she gave me on how to manage things.

My Bold Step to Open my Dance School

Sometimes you have to take a bold step in your life to reach your aim in life. I had to go against my parents to achieve my goal in life. When I was small I liked dancing and wanted to be a choreographer. I joined dance classes when I was in fourth standard. I used to take part in dance competitions in my school and won many prizes. I won many prizes in Inter-school and state level competitions.  After my school, I did my English honors from Delhi University.

When my father asked me about what I will do next after studies, I told him that I want to be a choreographer. He was against my decision and told me to look for another career option as this would not help me in my life. I told him that I have a dream of opening my dance school. It was very difficult to convince him, but I finally managed to convince him.

I joined as a choreographer in a dance group. Our dance group used to give stage performances and over time our group became very popular. After a few months, due to internal clashed between the group members our dance group got split. Now, I was thinking that what I should do next. I had two options, either to join a dance group again or to open a dance school of my own. I decided that I should now open a dance school of my own.

The money which I earned when I was a choreographer in the dance group was not enough to open the dance school. I told about this to my father and he told me that I will give you the rest of the money which you require. I belonged to a middle class family and I know it was very difficult for my father to arrange money for my school in such a short time.

I started searching for a property to take on rent and found it in Central Delhi. As soon as I got the possession I started the dance school. The location was good and I started getting a good response within fifteen days. I enrolled 50 students in the first month and the number of students increased day by day. After two years, I earned a good amount of money and bought a property of my own. Now, I am running my dance school on my own property and my earnings have increased.

I took the bold step and opened a dance school of my own and now happy with the decision I took. I knew that I was doing the right thing. You have to believe in yourself and be confident of what you are doing.

Me and My Baby - My Look Up Story

I am a working women and it’s very difficult for me to maintain a balance between professional and personal life. I started my job soon after my marriage and from the day I joined I got busy in my office. I had too much of work load that I could not give much time at home. Doing job was a necessity for me to meet the expenses of our house. I used to have fights with my husband because I could not give time at home. My mother-in law was not happy with me because I could not give time for doing household work. She became very rude to me and things were getting worse day by day.

My mother-in law used to tell me to cook dinner daily for everyone but I couldn’t because after coming back from office I used to feel very tired. We used to have arguments daily on this topic of cooking dinner. It had become a prestige issue that who will cook the dinner. My family life was getting spoiled because of my office.

A few months later, I came to know that I am pregnant and I was very happy. I started to think that how will I manage all the things. The day came and I gave birth to a baby girl. After six months when my maternity leaves got over I joined my office. I had no option other than joining my office as there was a rise in the expenses after the baby. I was very scared because I knew that I would not be able to manage work as well as my family at the same time.

While coming from the office I was feeling very tired and knew that I would not be able to look after my baby. I was worried that I will have arguments with my husband or mother-in law about managing the house. I was planning to keep a maid for my baby. But when I reached home and saw my baby smiling, all my office stress and tensions were gone. I went to the kitchen prepared feed for my baby, washed all her clothes, prepared dinner for the entire family. All this energy came in me when I saw my baby smiling. My baby’s smile filled me with optimism and hope for the future.

Sometimes a small event in your life can bring a lot of positive changes in your life. My life got completely changed after the baby. I became more responsible and started to manage my family life and office more efficiently. Now, every day after coming back from office I prepare dinner for my whole family and do all the work of my baby alone.
