My Family role for my better and self-reliant person
My dad always believed that a person has to be equally good in academics as well as extracurricular activities. That’s why when I was a kid, he used to take me to a stadium which was 5 KMS from my home. Those days my dad had only Bi-cycle. In Bi-cycle, he used to pedal to and fro and make me to run 3 rounds in the stadium. He used to run along with me and always encouraged me to take part in all the Athletic competition that was held in my School and in my local village functions. He felt proud when I bagged victory in running competition. He made sure, I take part in Zonal level, District level events and all inter school competitions. Though schools give training and encourage students, parents approval to take the kids outside the School was very important. I know my friends who are talented, but never take part in Districts matches since their parents never gave permission.
In that way, I am very lucky. My dad always took leave to his duty and used to visit the place where the match was taking place. Even though parents was not allowed inside the school, he used to peep from the school compound wall. He used to discuss later with my friends and family on my participation and my performance. His proud for my victory boosted my confidence and increased my enthusiasm for sports. If today, I am a avid marathon runner, its only because of my dad.

On the other hand, my mom wanted me to excel in academics. She was a working women, still she used to teach me with stories however dog-dead tired she was. She always encouraged me to read the newspaper and discuss about the positive sections of the newspaper. My parents equally encouraged me to send articles to newspaper.
No wonder, their motivation should have craved deep in my heart. Because of that, I never miss any Marathon that happens in Chennai and Bangalore. Because of the reading habit, I am blogger now and have also written a Novel – Touch of Mist.
After the completion of my School, my dad made sure that I take decision on my own and stand on my own. That’s the reason, he joined me in hostel for higher studies so that I could live on my own and learn things. Because of those 3 years hostel life, I learned to wash my clothes, wash my plates and managed my issues individually.
Even now, when my dad goes to bank, he takes me with him and ask me to fill the DD forms for him. In that way, In future I will do it without anyone’s help. He makes sure I attend all my relatives functions and marriage so that I will know about my relatives.
He always discuss the financial issues and family issues with me and look for my opinion and suggestions. If I give some wrong suggestion, my dad explains why it was not a good idea. I really feel confident because of my family members guidance.

Upgrade your Car with Quikr NXT
Upgrade your Car with Quikr NXTI am damn crazy about cars. One of the items in my bucket list is to drive all the cars that are in the world before I die. Of course it’s a realistic wish that could be easily achieved. I could visit all car showrooms and take a test drive. But my pleasure was not in driving all the cars once or taking a test drive. My wish is to own all the cars and explore them. The happiness that I get when I own the car is much more than I take a test drive for just 10 KMS or so. I longed to exchange my car every 6 month.
My idea was simple, Sell my existing car and buy a new one. But practically it’s not possible. May be possible, but it comes with a huge cost.
When you take the car to the showroom and ask for an exchange price, your blood gets boiled when you see the price they quote for the car. Requesting help from Dealers for exchange is also not a good idea. They simply take a lot of commission charge. So, going to showroom or contacting dealers is a poor idea. The best way is to sell the car yourself to some private party and buy a new one. In order to do this, you need lots of contacts and network. Here comes Quikr NXT which offers a perfect solution for all. Quikr NXT is the best way to trade the car with most profit as well as buy the car of our favorite choice.
Also, Owing a BMW 7 Series car is my dream and when I found that the Starting price of BWM 7 series itself is 1.07 crores(*) and a conditions apply mark next to it. After that, I never dreamed of owning BWM cars.
Img Source - Quikr NXTOne day when I was browsing the cars category in Quikr NXT I was surprised to see Jaguar, BWM, Land Rover, and Porsche cars listed in the Brand Name section. My curiosity roared and when I checked the price of BWM the was just Luxury BMW 7 series was sold at Rs. 15,00,000 only. That too with special VIP number. Now, I am planning to re-visit my bucket list and modify it. Yeah, since I will be getting cars in cheap and affordable prices I can buy own 5 cars and use each one every day. Monday BWM, Tuesday Jaguar and so on.
The Quikr NXT is very much useful during re-locating. When I first got my job transferred from Hyderabad to Bangalore I faced lot of difficulties in getting the car registration transferred to Karnataka state from Andra Pradesh state. Getting no objection certification from Hyderabad RTO officer was hectic and sluggish. Though I had all the mandatory documents and the insurance was renewed on time, I had to wait for 10 days. Luckily my colleague at Hyderabad asked my car for a good price and I sold to him in Andra Pradesh itself. Then I brought a latest, updated car at Bangalore. Quikr NXT will be very much helpful during those times.

Bedtime Rituals with Pampers
During the first week of my sister’s son birth, the baby was sleeping peacefully for 18 to 20 hours a day. It was an awesome moment to watch a new born sleeping. I eagerly wait for the baby to wake up, so that I can play and enjoy with his cute moments. But it hurts when the baby wakes up at odd time and cry for milk.
Pampers Baby Dry PantsMaking a baby sleep is like an art. My sister was very scared of diapers thinking that it would cause rashes to the baby. Hence during the initial days, she avoided diapers for the baby. But it was affecting the other way. Since it was December month and the climate was chill, the baby used to urinate frequently. Every one hour it will urinate and wet the cradle. The baby will awake immediately as it feels uncomfortable, soggy and start to cry. It used to wake up minimum 4 times at night and spoils his sleep.
Next day the baby will not be active since it did not sleep properly. That’s when my sister decided to go for diaper. With the help of diaper the baby sleeps so well and wakes only once during the night time that too for milk. It is very important for the baby to have a sound sleep at night so that it wakes up fresh - the next day. It also helps the baby to stay active the next day.
Source - Pampers Baby Dry Pants In order to make the baby sleep peacefully below are the things I do.
Offer the baby a hot bath in the afternoon, so that the baby sleeps well in the afternoon.It will wake up by 6.00 P.M. and I play with him till 9.00 P.M. Then I nestle the baby in my arms and start narrating stories. I am very bad at remembering my nursery stories and hence I need to Google to get the one-line story. After reading from Google, I narrate the story in a sing-song way by roaring if the story involves lion, chirrup and chirp if a bird is involved in the story. One could easily hear different sounds like roaring, barking, whooping, and whistling when they cross my home during night.
I make sure all the mobile phones, electronics items like laptop are outside the room, so that radiation does not affect the baby.
Image Source - fisher-price.com I have brought the above picture recently and have attached it to the baby cradle. The Fishers price Precious Planet’s 2-in-1 Projection Mobile comes with a projector, Sweet soothing music and tiny toys like bear, whale, crocodile, lion, rabbit attached towards it. When it is on, the animals reflects on the ceiling and moves in a circular way. The baby lying on the cradle enjoys the animal moving around and talks with his own language. It tries to catch the animals that was on the ceiling and sleeps playing with those animals.

Professional Courier Review - Worst courier service
Professional Courier Review - Worst courier serviceProfessional service is the worst courier service. If a parcel is sent to a person, the professional service doesn't offer home delivery. They say a stupid reason that it’s out of city. If that was the case, they should have informed the customer while placing the courier request. They keep mum, collect the amount from them and send it back to the same person who initiated the parcel request after 10 days. Though mobile number is written on bold letters on the parcel, they don’t even call and inform us. If they do so, we can collect if from the headquarter. But the Professional service guys sends the parcel back without even calling the customer’s once. This has happened to me fourth time.
Some Idoits working in professional courier, eat the chocolates that comes with the courier. They unpack the parcel to see what’s inside. If there is something good, they steal it. Read more here. Professional Couriers are highly unreliable and please beware of this courier pathetic service

Top 5 things on my Bucket List
Below are the top 5 things on my Bucket List that I would do if I were #BefikarUmarBhar
Participate in Chennai Triathlon
Last year, I have participated in Vodafone Cycling Marathon and never miss any cycling event that happens at Bangalore. I am a big fan of running and never miss marathons that happen in Bangalore, Chennai, Coimbatore and Salem. Pretty much, I explored cycling marathon, running and Swimming separately. But all the three flavors in a single day, I never tired. Hence, I would like to take part in Chennai Triathlon. But it really needs lots of will power, determination and constant practice. Because one has to swim 5 lapses of 300 meters each i.e 1.5 KMS and immediately get out of the swimming track and jump to cycle and then 40 kms of cycling followed by 10 km of trail running.
Educate a girl child
Whenever I see a child working in cement factory, crackers industry, house constructions and in hotels for taking away the plates and for cleaning the utensils at home, I get pissed off. I wanted to punish the owner for employing the children below 18. But I am not a strong person to fight against them and leave the place with heavy heart.
Few months before when I visited my aunt house, I saw a 12-year-old girl employed for house cleaning. I scolded my aunt for appointing her and requested her to send her back to her parents. On hearing our conversations, the girl began to cry and started pleading my aunt not to send her back. She told that her salary of Rs.600 would serve food for her family of 4. Just for present, she is spoiling her future without studying. That day I decided, I should offer an education for a girl child. Right from her schooling to her higher educations. Let her wish to study Engineering or Doctor, I wanted to sponsor her studies.
To do organic Framing
Last year, I started Organic terrace garden at my home and was successful in growing the easy survival plants like Green chilies, Bitter gourd and Tomatoes. The taste of the tomatoes when cooked directly by plugging the vegetable from the plant without any pesticide and synthetic fertilizer is lip smacking. Who doesn't love to eat the fruits and cook the vegetable, herb that is fresh from farm? I want to cultivate vegetable and crops and grow them in a natural way, preserve the seeds and circulate them without genetic change. Finally, I will sit inside the green crops and will write more.
To make a Short Film
To make one sensible, heart teaching video about human relationship and emotions. The video should at least change few people's mindset about the way they look at humans and take people's feelings for granted.
Also, I wish to take many one minute videos to create awareness about organ donation, eye donation, blood donation and about the trending social issue like preserving trees, avoiding plastics and much more.
Fifth One - Its a Secret wish list
I should go on a journey all alone. A journey that I decide based on my intuitions. No destination and no targets. I should forget my responsibility, my family, and all gadgets. I should go miles away and stay in that place for a month exploring the new people and new place.

My Darling Asus Zenphone
Here are the top 5 reasons for Asus Zenfone 5 to be my perfect Sweetheart!!!
2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROMAsus Zenfone 5 comes with 2 GB RAM. None of the other standard phone offers 2 GM of RAM in this price range.
RAM helps in running the operating system which in turn helps in processing the input and output faster. In Layman’s terms, it helps in running all the applications like What’s app, phone Calls, calculator and games. The higher the RAM, the faster the response. Still now, I was using a mobile with 512 RAM, where the response time is dead slow. I have to wait minimum 3 seconds in order to access my mobile and to get the response time. But, when I first touched the ASUS Zen phone 5, I was very impressed with the touch response time. I would say in a fraction of the time, it stole my heart. Furthermore, the touch comes with Capacitive and hence the touch sensitivity is so cool. 8MP Pixel Master Camera and 2 MP Front Camera: 8MP primary Camera. You may say, most of the camera offers that pixel. Then what's special in that? Even, that was the first thought that ran across my mind. But when my eyes scanned secondary Camera with 2 MP, I was totally dumbstruck. When I stay away from my family and friends, this 2 MP Front camera helps a lot in having Skype calls with very good clarity. I patter my back, when my friends who connects from laptop says my video clarity is too good.
18 hrs (3G) Lithium, 2110 mAh8 out of my 10 friends always carries power bank with them. Its a 3rd hand for them these days. I really hate to carry power bank and thus ASUS become my darling when the battery is made up of 2110 Lithium battery. The battery comes for more than 3 days if it is used only for calls and message. It offers a stand by time of 14 days.
Red colorRed means love and the ASUS handset come with Cherry red. Its simply awesome and very attractive. White and black color phones has become normal these days and this cherry red mobile phone gives a royal Posh look.
3G - 42 Mbps HSDPAEverybody would look for a Battery quality, Camera pixel, price, RAM while buying a new phone. They hardly look at the specifications for HSDPA. If I have been a normal person, I would check whether the phone has 3G connectivity and not about the HSDPA.
Since I work in telecom domain I know the purpose and the job of HSDPA(High-Speed Downlink Packet Access). This helps in the getting the higher internet connectivity. 3G-42 meaning, it can support the internet speed of about 42 Mbps.
5 GB Free Lifetime ASUS Web Storage:Since, ASUS offers an additional feature of 5FB web storage. This is another additional point for me to fall in love with ASUS Zenfone. Yes, This phone offers an additional feature of 5 GB free lifetime ASUS Webstorge.
