How to Turn Good Mornings in to Gold Mornings

Every morning for me is a like a sun shining bright on my face telling me to wake up to see this beautiful world. I am a very optimistic person when it comes to waking up in the morning and charting all my day plans. Being an early riser, I love to kickstart my day with some power yoga and my hot cuppa of coffee. I feel this vibrant energy getting up every morning to look for a beautiful day ahead. A day full of opportunities where positive energy is on the toll. I make mornings into gold mornings by reliving my childhood days when I do my meditation. Serenity and falling into the world of god gives me utmost pleasure. It takes me to a world never seen before, since I am a firm believer in spirituality I feel that meditation, yoga, and pranayams have a strong emphasis in your life.
Practicing them daily makes me feel that I am in the world where every human being wants to be. It is not easy though to maintain this tough regime as others say. But, my motto is to bring into my life this powerful sunshine of beauty, glow and happiness all around. I can anytime turn my mornings into gold mornings by firmly following this and using the new 'Colgate 360 Charcoal Gold toothbrush' - #Colgate360GoldMornings. I would recommend to others too.
So make your mornings bright, chirpy and give your life a new meaning.

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.

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cashews/kaju
  • ½ cup SugarFree Natura or as required
  • 5 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp ghee  (optional)
Note: 1 cup = 250 ml approx.

Directions:

  1. Powder the cashew in a coffee grinder or a dry grinder.
  2. The cashews should be in powdered form and should not be pasty or oily.
  3. On a low flame heat SugarFree Natura and water in a thick bottomed or non-stick pan or kadai.
  4. At the same time, grease a plate or a tray and keep aside or keep butterpapers ready. Butter paper helps in giving a neat smooth finish.
  5. When all the SugarFree Natura is dissolved in the water, add the cashew powder. There is no consistency in the SugarFree Natura syrup required like one string or two string. Just let the SugarFree Natura dissolve in the water and then proceed with the next step.
  6. Stir and keep on stirring the cashew mixture on a low flame.
  7. When the cashew mixture starts thickening cook the cashew mixture for around 10 minutes till the whole mixture starts to come together.
  8. Remove the whole lump of the mixture from the pan and place it on work surface or plate.
  9. Add ghee or oil to the cashew mixture and mix.
  10. When it cools enough to handle, then knead the cashew mixture. Flatten the dough and place it on a butter paper or on a greased plate/thali or tray. Gently, roll it with a rolling pin. Roll to a thickness of 3-5 mm.
  11. Remove the butter paper and let the rolled cashew dough cool.
  12. When completely cooled, using a sharp knife cut the cashew dough giving diamond shapes or whatever you like.
  13. Gently remove the kaju katli with a butter knife.

Preparation Time : 15 minutes
Cooking Time : 15 minutes
Serves :  7 – 9

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.
 
Some of the features of UC browser include:
  • Live Scores with auto update
  • Fixture & Result
  • Latest News
  • Videos

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.
