Learning with the magical art of story telling!

When was the last time your child told you a story?

Coming to think of it, it has been recently that I heard the stories from my children with the arrival of the colgate strong teeth packs at the doorstep. It was afternoon when the courier guy delivered the packs, and to my happiness my kids just had their lunch, and as soon as they saw something interesting on the packs inside, they did not wait, and both of them sat down with the scissors and cut down the characters on the packs, and began arranging and creating their own stories. It was a pure delight to see them engaged into the activity and listening to them with the amazing spell of the stories and ideas they had in them was mesmerizing beyond limits that I have been rejoicing even while writing down the post. I was actually amazed to see the unlocking of their imagination and creations of the stories around the characters in the packs.

Sea world is a whole new world which has lots of mystical world hidden into it and children when come to associate themselves with the sea world, they have loads of amazing ideas which I recently discovered with their story telling with the colgate packs. The new Colgate Strong Teeth packs come with interesting sea creatures & with huge amount of trivia inside them. There were four (4) different packs that arrived - The treasure hunt, Coral reefs, pirate ship, and the magical mermaid. 

The best part about the whole story telling has been the interaction that the kids have been coming up with. It is an amazing experience for a mother to see their kids engaging themselves in conversation and coming up with the stories and discussing up the stories amongst themselves. This made me realize of the importance of healthy sessions among the siblings and with the story telling, it just got better. I was a listener and spectator to their conversations. Also, it got more exciting when they involved into the story telling, allowing me to listen to their creativities flowing through them and later questioning me about their stories and asking me for the learnings. It was another learning for me to teach lessons to the kids through story telling as they were able to link the situations and take up the learning from it. 

This art of story telling not only helped in unlocking the imagination of not only my kids, but also helped me to learn a lot. It has come out to be a delightful experience where me and my kids have had a lot of fun and learning from the stories that they came up with. Also, the kids have decorated their room with the characters and still play around with them, coming up new narrations every day. 

I would really thank colgate for coming up with this great idea and bringing parents and children to engage into the art of story telling together, which made imagination from both, parents and children to flow in unison.

The talk of the town - DATSUN REDI-GO!

Life becomes easy and comfortable when you have the best of the device with yourself such as that of DATSUN redi-GO. This seems to be a promising car with the amazing features of the compact cross-over and urban hatchback blended well into one. The designing of the car is done in one of the most compact manner keeping all the things in mind giving it a look like no other in the market. One of the excellent confident car ensuring fun and freedom.

The features that I would look forward to while making a choice for the REDI-GO car would be: 

Exteriors : The car has amazing exteriors that includes D-Cut grille which is a good designing feature. The head lamps and the tail lamps placement is done beautifully which give it a superb look in the compact and hatchpack category. The designing of the car is such that it has great impressive in-class ground clearance which makes any car acceptable as one of the best among the cars depending upon the terrains especially when we come to talk of India as the mainland where topography is scattered variedly.The small turning radius of the car is another feather in the features of the car making it to be a sure-shot choice while coming to shortlist car for oneself. 

Interiors : The interiors of the car are again one of the prime features that catch up the eye of an individual and I am no exception to the rule. When coming to talk of the Redi-GO car for the interiors, this car beats up its models easily offering the comfort. It has seating for five persons comfortably, providing enough space for the luggage and stuff to be carried on long trips. The dashboard layout is done splendidly giving the ease of information. The seatings are done by keeping the premium comfort level into the mind and thus providing sports class experience. Also, all-in-one audio system is being provided in the car. The power windows is another comfort component in the car making it convenient for both, driver and co-driver to manage the windows movement in the car.

Engine efficiency : As the car promises 799 cc engine, it would be a wonderful delight to have an efficient engine as this which would make the long travels and journeys comfortable. The car would be giving an amazing response with a good capacity engine giving the average of approx 25 km/litres which is a good relief to the pockets as this would make it cost efficient and fuel efficient. 

In India I would love test on the drive from Delhi to Agra, for exploring the car's features on the Yamuna expressway testing it for the seating comfort, fuel efficiency, engine efficiency, while making my way to the beautiful city of Agra, which is famous for its historical features as I have never been to the city. Also, would love to take my friends along with for the best fun on my journey into this beauty with beast car. 

The car would take away the urban blues quite clearly with its engine efficiency and the designing of the car in the exteriors as well as the interiors. It has all the features which a crossover and hatchback has to deliver. This car does it in a great manner by offering the best of the two worlds and what would one wish to have more from one's personal car on the daily basis.

Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback.

Gold Mornings

 To wake up to a beautiful morning is a pure delight is what I have been experiencing for years and it has largely aided me in leading a successful career as a doctor and also on a personal front helping me to carry responsibilities in life in a great manner. It is no surprise on how pleasant the morning breeze is! It is on us how we appreciate the things around us and float into the lake of emotions that is built in and around us, like to appreciate as to how the little clouds float into the sky assuming different shapes and sizes, how the sun rises from the clouds and scatters the light into the sky and across the planet. We humans are so tiny creatures to ignore these blessings and the forces of the nature which offer us plentiful life and pleasure. 

Appreciation is a great art and it must be included into our lifestyle as this shall keep the mind fresh, happy and peaceful which is a much needed ingredient into the life, and if mornings would begin on such a healthy note, life shall definitely has a lot of meaning.

To mark the beginning of the day and in an effort to turn the good mornings into gold mornings, I have made it a habit to get up and directly head to washroom for the freshness of the mouth by brushing with COLGATE 360 CHARCOAL GOLD TOOTHBRUSH that would lead to #Colgate360GoldMornings. Thereafter, I go for a brisk walk for half an hour in the garden with the pug that I owe since last 2 years. It has brought in a lot of changes into my lifestyle and I would really come forward to make the remark that my mornings have turned into the gold mornings. This has helped me to follow a good quality schedule into my life. Then the next act is to raise a toast of coffee with my husband and we often have some discussion about the current happenings which keeps us up-to date with the current news and affairs taking place around us. Thereafter, we depart for few hours by taking the charge of the day heading to our office for our duty hours.

To this day, I have gotten into this beautiful relationship with the mornings which have given a lot of meaning and purpose to my life and it is a matter of appreciation to have a routine in life which welcomes the peace, laughter and happiness in life. It is the mornings that grant us with the common sense for each day, leading to start the day on a optimistic note.

Coffee Chocolate Brownie - Sugar free Dessert Challenge!

Researchers have discovered that chocolate produced some of the same reactions in the brain as marijuana. The researchers also discovered other similarities between the two, but can't remember what they are. 

This is wonderful that I have come to read about the world of chocolates and why does one need to care about the research possibilities when a person has got to be so wonderfully lost and dipped into the world of chocolates.

Well, going with the SUGAR Free DESSERT Challenge, I would love to take it up with the Sugar-Free Natura as it offers several benefits over the regular sugar and shall take away my cravings which keeps me delighted and in the best of my moods.

The recipe I am going to go ahead is that of the Coffee Chocolate Brownie. I love it and it always remains on the top of list and offers me the best pleasures of life.

The ingredients for this amazing recipe are as follows:

• Butter - 1 cup melted
• White flour - 1 cup
• Sugar Free Natura
• Cocoa Powder - 1-1.5 teaspoon
• Coffee - 1 teaspoon
• Baking Powder - 1 teaspoon
• Vanilla essence - 4-5 drops
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Eggs - 3
• Chocolate sauce

The procedure to prepare this dish is now explained below

Begin by preheating the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit or 175 degree celcius. After preheating the oven, grease a pan or the mould in which the chocolate brownies are to be baked.

Once the pan is greased, keep it aside. In a bowl, pour sugar-free natura, vanilla essence and the melted butter. The mixture is to be blended well into one direction. Now flour, cocoa powder, salt and baking powder is to be added to the above paste and is required to be blended with the eggs in the bowl. The paste should be uniform and all the ingredients must blend well without leaving any lumps. 

Now, the batter that is prepared is to be poured into the prepared greased pan. The pan is then put into the preheated oven for baking for around 40 minutes. The brownies can be checked in the process of baking in a way that they start to pull away from the sides of the pan, which is a signal that the brownies have been baked. 

The brownies in the pan are kept to cool after the baking process. They are now ready to be served with the chocolate sauce/ syrup by cutting them into the desired shapes and sizes.

The brownies are ready to be enjoyed.

Happiness is life served up with a scoop of ice- cream, the topping of nuts, and sprinkles of chocolate powder, and the brownies in life are awaiting the best pleasures to be discovered. Life is about living it the desired way and hot- chocolate brownies serve the purpose extremely well.

Drive, Design and Connect!

Well, coming to talk about the talk of the town, I belong to this hot and happening city - Delhi, which has a lot to be talked about ranging fro all sort of topics from education, traveling, eating, fashion- parades, scams, designing, and what not. The plethora of topics on the platter is huge and needs no special mentions and introduction about the amazing things that this city holds. Good and bad, both go together, incase you would point at me for praising the capital city too much.

Coming to talk about the drive, design and connect features of this beautiful city leaves me to no surprises. It has lot to offer to all the individuals of all the age groups. Officially the National Capital Territory, holds a huge amount of historical importance and has been very well connected with the Delhi Metro and the DTC buses. Also, the services of the auto-rickshaws is creditable in the town. The roads are properly maintained in almost all the corners of the town connecting one place to another. 

The history of the city of Delhi is quite old and holds a lot of significance in almost all the eras of the historical studies. It has been an important town of all the major discussions during the ruling times of the kings and even till day in the Republican era of the country. 

The city has been very well designed except of the few corners of the Delhi where planned development did not take place, which would soon be recovering and falling into the right place of maintenance and management. The city has beautiful monuments designed in several parts of Delhi such as Humayun's Tomb, Qutub Minar, Red Fort, etc and several beautiful temples such as Birla Mandir, Lotus Temple, Akshardham Mandir, Hanuman Mandir, among the lot of places. 

The driving through the city is not too hectic as compared to the flooded roads of Mumbai and Bangalore. The traffic is smooth flowing, just little busy at the peak hours and office timings. One can drive away to one place to another in decent time without hassles. The city of Delhi is very well connected. Also, the neighbouring states such Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan are very well connected through the highways and by-passes connecting the city to other places outside Delhi, making the travel safe and smooth.

The driving through the city offers lots of amazing food joints across the way. The streets of Delhi have lots of eating places and offer the best food with taste and quality. The hunger pangs can well be satiated. It is beautiful to be a part of this wonderful city which has a lot to offer to the local people and to the tourists with good quality hospitality and easy access to almost all the things, be to food, housing, traveling, shopping and working, to the least.

The wonder growing up! #SoftestForBabySkin

This is a place where grandmothers hold babies on their laps under the stars and whisper in their ears that the lights in the sky are holes in the floor of heaven. Beautiful words, right ? Without a matter of doubt.

Baby upbringing can be joyful, fun, learning, inspiring, uplifting, encouraging and a lot more. It has lot to offer on its platter and serves as a huge one in the process. I have several framed versions of the learning of the process through my own experiences, and in the bringing up a child is one of the best one because it not only made me learn, but it also has taught me to smile, live and cherish all the moments with grace. Growing up with the child is like growing up in motherhood and learning some of the lessons that no one and nothing else can teach. It is here where the motherhood is rang with the teachings of care, truth, honesty and wisdom. Some people have a knack for putting into place the things, but quite a lot are not aware of this phase that enhances the learning and living in its own ways.

Baby is such an amazing gift and becoming a parent regardless of whether it is for the first or sixth time, is one of the most rewarding and humbling experiences of one’s life. Although it isn’t quite possible to sum up the joy of a baby in several words, the upbringing is in itself a great experience of the motherhood.

The motherhood is such a gift to a mother that she takes and holds all the extra amount of care for her baby and the use of softest things are a perfect icing on the cake that does a lot of wonders like providing a great texture to the skin of the child, nourishing and moisturising in the best possible ways without causing rashes, irritation and discomfort. 

The foremost necessity being the massage oil which should be free of unnecessary and unwanted chemicals which causes irritation to the new born babies. The natural oils used should be free of paraffins which are harmful for the infants. They should not contain artificial colours and odours which is a great factor in determining the health of the child.

The clothing of the baby and other related stuffs that is kept near the child should well be taken care as the baby comes in contact with them and should not harm it in any way.

The golden words of the doctors and the elders in the family turn out to be the softest elements in the wonderful journey of bringing up the child. They should be paid adequate amount of heed as they work miraculously and prove wondrous in the journey.

The another important thing for the kids which is to be taken great care is of the sleeping bed and must be soft enough to give a sound sleep to the baby as the sleep helps the baby grow and develop internally and externally. 

Lastly, the diapers used for the kids must be soft and gentle enough to keep the baby in a comfortable position without causing any discomfort and hassle for the baby, as any kind of irritation with the diapers would hamper the happiness and pleasures for the child which would be a displeasure to anyone near the kid. So, the little amount of attention and care can lead to a walk that would be full of beautiful memories.

After all, babies are such a nice way to start people.
