Listening to Heart for Relaxing and Learning

After the hectic month of year-end march, Exhausted is just an understatement. Most of you who works in corporates must be feeling how it is. One has no time to properly eat, think, giving time to family forget an vacation. This month generally fills with Targets, achievements, KPAs SKU, Next year target so on so forth. Sometimes to achieve the goal set by our boss or sometimes by us we just stop listening to our Dil. How many times we just stopped to enjoy an icecream without thinking about the timing of the train to catch. How about exploring a different part of the city. How about roaming in the road just to look at various aspects of the place. 

So after the financial year ends, the new targets, the new year the new urge to achieve the new target takes us in. In the whole process we just forget to listening our heart. Same happened with me, when I planned for a vacation the boss always there to convince that I can take it later. Or on the pretext that someone else is on leave. Or the fear that I will not be able to meet the target. Or last resort You are doing exceedingly well, You could achieve a lot in your career. You can even plan them later on. You guys must have a list too.

One fine day I thought, let me listen to my heart, just plan it. Thankfully India now have a good number of e-commerce sites which help you to make it easier, Be it booking your tickets or booking the hotel. So on a fine Monday afternoon, in the office I booked the tickets for Goa and booked the hotel for 3N/4D, starting from Saturday. I just have 4 days for all the preparation. Boss after knowing that I am going on leave gave the work which a superhuman can do in the remaining days. In Goa without the sunglasses the shorts, and those cool dresses you will feel strange, but I didn't have the time to go and buy from store. That's where Snapdeal India's leading e-commerce portal comes to the rescue, with a variety of options and a price which is unmatched brings joy to our hearts. And with its timely delivery you are assured to follow your heart. In my case I got my ordered shipment in 2 days i.e. Wednesday. It was an wonderful 4 days in Goa and great way to relax with lot of joy and fun. The sunset at beaches is a view to cherish. After the short vacation it was a great feeling and I pat on back myself for listening to my Dil and follow it without thinking about what my boss preaches. And its high time to Listen to your dil and do what it says, for deals there is Snapdeal for us.

NH10 - No Turning back Review.

Brutally Honest. Must watch.
The Movie NH10 is based on the reality about Haryana and honour killing. The story (written by Sudip Sharma) is about an urban couple Meera (Anushka Sharma) and Arjun (Neil Bhoopalam), two young professionals from Bangalore, staying in Gurgaon. How the roads and life has become unsafe is the theme of the movie and how you need to survive in this brutal atmosphere is the theme of the movie. How the mindset of some people towards love marriage  and how violent they can be has been shown beautifully in the movie. This movie is based on a true story and has been shoot at the real locations. Throughout the movie you will be in your edge of your seat.

But there are a lot of violence and bloodshed in the movie. So those of you with a weak heart be careful. The Movie has been given A rating by the censor board.The movie is fast paced.

My Verdict 3.5

Hunterr The film Review

Hunterr is a Sexual Comedy. 
The sex comedy 'Hunterr' stars Gulshan Deviah, Radhika Apte and Sai Tamhankar, Hunterr has adult content at its core.
Its basically sexual humour. The story of the film is about Mandar (Gulshan Deviah), Mandars desire is endless. Throughout the movie flirts women and enjoyment is his only ambition. Trupti, Jyotsna, Savitha Bhabi all fall prey to his flirts and nerdy ideas. What happens at last leave it to the audience Will Mandar consider emotional over physical ??? (mostly college boys will be its audience)
Gulshan Deviah and Radhika Apte has done justice to their role.

My verdict 2.

Relax Unwind and De-stress #SlowDownZindagi

You all must agree that life somehow has become more hectic. The reason may be you have to catch the 8.03 local to get office in time, or may be getting that Auto in Andheri. In office/home some work always remain pending this results in stress. In the modern age with Nucleus family, to manage the home, ofice and relationship has become a big challenge and source of stress.To complete the task/target with deadline one passes through deep stress.

In long term the effects of stress shows like Headaches, Heart disease, Gastrointestinal problems, Accelerated aging, Depression and anxiety, less sleep or may be Premature death.

So how to reduce stress ? For different person it varies. For reclaiming my Zindagi I do these :

1. Listen To Music- While travelling in locals I always prefer to listen some music than instant messaging. It certainly do not make the train less congested, but it gives me a sense of happiness and jubilant mood, small push, pull (Dhakka) seems very trivial. The music certainly destress me and make the journey happier.

2. Watching a Movie - After the hectic day at office, the best way to relax is after taking a bath either head to the multiplex to watch a movie, if not then watch on TV or stream. I just make a list of movies and watch them. The movie certainly takes me to another place/time/emotional level. BTW Shawshank Redemption is my favourite and I have watched in more than 20 times.

3. Working at home- Sometimes I just clean the cupboard, bookshelf, or balcony. The Before and After seen makes me happy and it gives me satisfaction. Its a way to destress. When I an angry i certainly do this.

4. Heading to weekend gateway- Sometimes, both body and mind are unable to take any more stress/burden. If that situation arises I head to nearest weekend gateways like Matheran, Lonavola, Khandala (may be water parks and amusements parks, National park also) The journey recharges me and  the experience makes us lively, happy and jovial.

5. Planning a get-together - A friend in need is friend Indeed. So sometimes everything might not be working as per plan and I go through tension and stress. To de-stress myself I plan for a get together with friends. It may be Juhu beach or any one's house. may be a movie or a restaurant. after that I eel so relaxed and relieved. it de-stress me.

So these are some of my secrets for de-stressing, and reclaim my zindagi.

But since these de-stressing activities in not possible in day-to-day basis ‘I am going to try a new quick way to De-stress & #SlowDownZindagi using Parachute Advansed Aromatherapy Oil in association with BlogAdda‘ 

I would love to hear your comments and your comment may win a voucher from our sponsor.

The time has come to Share The Load with Ariel’s #WashBucketChallenge

So Before going to write my blog I want to ask you a question ?

Is the household chores should be done by Men or Women ? 

Exactly the same question was asked by Ariel and the answer is 3/4 of surveyed male opined that Household chores are womens job, The man's task is to earn.
 Ariel's question is ‪#‎IsLaundryOnlyAWomansJob‬
So in the 21st century when women are doing joining and succeeding in workforces is it right ? Women are staying out of home like most men do. If not working they are managing home better than any MBA can do. 


So being a man, the time has come to Share The Load with Ariel’s #WashBucketChallenge
This task asks men to Share the Load of their partner/family members. Ariel being the leading detergent brand asks man to take the #WashBucketChallenge and helps in cleaning clothes of the family. With Ariel's one-wash stain removal washing clothes is easy and fun.

Twitter Contest in India – The Real Picture

Twitter Contest in India – The Real Picture

Now in order to trend a lot of brands are conducting contest in Twitter to promote their hashtag. But what I have observed some people (may be from the digital agency itself ) won the prizes. They tweet about hundred and more tweets in 3-4 hour.  There are a handful of contestants winning in various tweet contest may be a testimony to that.

I would love to share their details, But privacy is a big reason for non-disclosure.

If you see a winners name starting with @cmd....... or @swat....... @imbe.... then chances are that you can guess it right.

Does Brand benefits ? Does the hashtag really helps  ?

The answer is No. If  5 people send 800 tweets mentioning your #tag and another 300 people with 400 #tags.

Your total comes to around 1200 hashtags but those 800 have a very low impact coz it will not reach others through the social media effect.

Now brands have to decide whether they want to give the prize to those 5 or among those 33 who are genuine.

But I have seen some contest where quality tweets are considered not the 5 odd people who only participate to win for the prizes.
