How the Godrej – See thru 7 inch Video door phone keeps me safe and happy!

“Why in the world do we need one?” I remember asking my mom (before we got the new Godrej – See thru 7 inch Video door phone a few weeks ago), rather annoyed by her continual demands to have a security system in place for our house. But she persisted, rallying around that security systems aren’t just about keeping you secure.
“It’s about making life easier. It helps me to not have to attend to the door every time the bell rings.”
Ever since she was diagnosed with arthritis a month back, she had been in perpetual pain. Despite the doctor advising rest, and me suggesting that we hire a cook, she had ensured that her little kitchen fortress hadn’t fallen into outside hands for the cooking.
“How do you expect me to attend to the door when I am bathing or busy cleaning the house?”

“Do you want the stir-fry to be overcooked just because I had to leave the kitchen in case I hear some suspicious noise?”

So after her continual requests, I began to look for security solution before I chanced upon the Godrej – See thru 7 inch Video door phone. What compelled me to buy this gadget? A number of reasons actually!

Its ishtyle factor!
I like to surround myself with gorgeous things and a security system should be no different! A dual tone design with a fine finish makes it look elegant and tasteful. A magnetic handset along with a touch sensitive keypad only adds value to its stunning looks. 
Beauty with brains

My mom thinks that I often end up picking pretty things instead of going for something practical. She pursed her lips and I could see a bubble of “You are going to regret this” form in her head when she first saw the device.
It took her hardly few days to realize that this time I had picked up a winner. What’s helped Mom the most is the fact that one can have audio communication, and make live transmissions on a crystal clear LCD display using a CCTV outside. It also allows for a mechanism to conveniently unlock the door without having to go and manually do it saving her a lot of trouble.
For the mad scientist
Do you remember the cartoons that show a mad crazy scientist who is very forgetful and often ends up mixing his experiments? Well, I am exactly like that! Being very forgetful in nature, I find it difficult to remember whether I paid the dudh wala bhaiya or I have lost the money mom gave me! But this device’s ability to capture photographs and to save them in an inbuilt memory has saved me a lot from Mom’s anger to whom I often forget to report about who came by when she had gone out.
  

I indeed owe a lot of my peace to the new Godrej – See thru 7 inch Video door phone. I never would have known the fun in staying secure, if not for it.

A Gold morning everyday in 3 simple steps!

My mom, my alarm and I battle daily; it starts at 6:30 am when my alarm decides to shrilly shake me awake and pulls me away from my sweet little dreams.
Round 1 always goes to me because I manage to either throw the alarm on the floor to shut it up or pull out the batteries.
But in Round 2 my wonderful alarms brings in reinforcements a.k.a. my Maa.
And thus I start my morning snarling and swearing (only mann mein otherwise mom would kill me) as I pick up my toothbrush to clean my teeth.
But off late, I have decided to bring about a change in my attitude to this whole thing. I am trying to make my bad mornings, my gold mornings using these 3 simple techniques.  
Sleep early
One thing that I have realized that the only reason I am so cranky every morning is that I don’t sleep on time. I stay up till the wee hours of morning on my laptop and am yawning away to glory every time I have a morning meeting. So for the past few days, I have started sleeping around 11 every day and I find that I am much more relaxed in the mornings.
See something beautiful the minute you open your eyes
Dull drab walls is all I would see when I got up everyday and this would really annoy me. That is when I decided to take things in my hand! I decorated my room beautifully especially the wall that I see every morning with my favourite things! Somehow seeing something cheerful every time I wake up would instantly bring a smile to my face and make my hum songs instead of muttering curses.
Pampering myself with some sparkle
We girls love bling and why should our toothbrushes be any different? A glamourous golden toothbrush is definitely a perfect way to make your teeth and your day to sparkle.
As Colgate says, “Wake up to a Gold Morning; every morning; with Colgate 360° Charcoal Gold: Not only is it stunning in the way it looks, but also in the way it cleans your teeth, tongue, cheeks and gums. No wonder, it’s
the Gold Standard of Whole Mouth Cleaning.”
After using Colgate 360° Charcoal Gold I must say that this toothbrush is not all beauty; it has some useful features, too! The fact that it is so pretty to look at definitely gives it brownie points! #Colgate360Mornings
So there you go! My 3 step guide to a Gold morning everyday! What do you do to make your mornings brighter and all the more beautiful? Let me know J

#FlipkartKids: Shopping for kids has never been this easy

Birthdays and Diwali were two of most favourite days in the entire year when I was a little kid. Both these days one thing; mommy would take me out shopping and I would get to pick up one new dress and sometimes if I was lucky, a new toy, too.

I had limited choice as we would always go to the neighbourhood uncle who never seemed to have too many options. I recall those days with a smile when I see my niece’s face crunched up in concentration as she tries to choose what she really really wants to buy. Should she opt for the cute Chota Bheem huggable toy or should she buy the latest mechanical car.

A cute skirt or jeans in which she can play cricket? Lego set or a set of pretty colours?

As she sits scrolls through the Flipkart’s Li’l Stars store, I can’t help but wonder how kids shop nowadays. They have a mind of their own and they love to have multiple options. Shopping in a mall can very tedious especially when you have to go from one store to the other to check out different brands. Flipkart is ushering in a new change in this particular arena. And in order to know more, I attended the #FlipkartKids Indiblogger meet last week.

I entered Blue Frog happily chit chatting with fellow bloggers as we discussed our expectations from this meet. I was personally curious to know meet the big brands in the world of kids shopping like Mattel, Chota Bheem and Disney as they discussed their ideas while working on toys and clothing for kids.
After grabbing a drink and some food, we bloggers participated in a  conversation with Kalpana Behara on “Questions and debates in the mind of a parent blogger” where many mommies shared their experiences of online shopping. One comfort that online shopping offered was the easy returns and this definitely appreciated by one and all. I particularly enjoyed the anecdote shared by Ekta as she told us how her niece would place a COD order and would them convince the family to pay for her favourite toy.

Flipkart also wants all kinds of toys available for children in India and they are soon going to have an option where parents can buy international toys and get it delivered in a few weeks. I can definitely see mommies all over India rejoicing about this.

After a lively discussion, all the bloggers were divided into teams so that we could come up with a unique ad for #FlipkartKids. Team three became the Flipkart Santas and we had a fun time enacting and singing our jingles. 

We then gathered around for an Indi Group Photo and as we were about to leave Flipkart decided to surprise us with cute Chota Bheem plush toys. The minute I reached home, my niece jumped on my lap, hugged the toy and screamed “Miiineee!!!” J

Asus Zenfone Laser 2: My Experience and Review

I have a major confession to make! I am extremely technologically challenged. I don’t understand specifications that every gadget comes with and I only read the user manual when I need something to put me to sleep. Then how do I go fall in love with gadgets? Simply by using them.
When it comes to phone; I am extremely finicky too. I don’t go for big brands or phones loaded with features. I have a simple checklist with 3 conditions. But I haven’t been able to come across any phone that fulfills my conditions until recently. So what were my conditions and which phone managed to rise to the occasion? Read on J
Condition 1: Excellent front and back camera
These photos were taken in Goa last week when my camera had a sudden dead. Thankfully the Asus Zenfone Laser 2’s camera came to the rescue and I clicked selfies and photos to my heart’s content! The camera quality I must admit is excellent and the various modes make it fun to experiment and learn new techniques.  



Condition 2: Long lasting battery

Our phones are our lifeline and one wouldn’t want his or her lifeline to die out in the middle of the day, right? That is why my ideal phone needs to have a long battery life. Sure, I carry my power bank around but it is no fun when you want to talk on the phone or click a photo or use an app and you have a power bank hanging on to your phone for its dear life! I remember going on a 3 hour drive with fellow bloggers in Goa where we had to click tons of photos and tweet extensively to win some cool challenges. By the time the first 90 minutes were up, people were grabbing their power banks but not me. My phone battery lasted me throughout the challenge and till the time I reached home! Now that is impressive.



Condition 3: M for…
“Ah, music,” Dumbledore said, wiping his eyes. “A magic beyond all we do here!” and I can’t help but agree with him. I need my music at every point of time. When I have painful cramps during PMS and want to listen to a soothing piano or when I seriously pissed off and wouldn’t mind some Mettalica. There are days when I listen to Snow Patrol and blush or tap my feet as I listen to the American Authors. My phone is the source of my music and it therefore has to be fantabulous. There are no two ways to that. Asus Zenfone Laser 2 comes with 5 different modes of music and when accompanied by the Zen Ear, its charm is unbeatable.

So have I found my true love? Absolutely, yes! 🙂
