My Airtel App

Our life is constant race. And what is the most important ingredient in any race? Speed!

The modern age has made us so busy, that loss of a minute can make a huge difference. With the advancement of technology and the innovative thinking/designing, our life is now dependent on “APPs”. Anything we do, we think it would get easier if an app is there. The majority of our time is spent in doing something or the other on the cell phone, so the best way to market a product, which suits the needs of the customers, is through cell phone applications.

Airtel has just got that right! Airtel has come up with a very nice and handy application. A platform that will make the life of their users hassle free. It is one application with which all airtel services can be accessed. Recharges and payments are done through this application and not to mention the safety of the transaction is highly maintained.

Some of the features that really appealed to me were

1.      The idea of all services in one place. We all are living in a very busy world and with all are gadgets and their billing expenses we often get confused as to whether a certain bill has been paid on time. This app makes is possible to have all the services – DTH, broadband, mobile recharge, etc. all together. So you can keep a track of how much rental for broadband has been paid, what’s the status of DTH and so on.

2.      Who doesn’t want free recharge? If someone says no, he/she is lying!! My airtel app has become even more attractive with the feature of first recharge cashback option. So basically once you do your recharge for the first time through the app, you get cashback! Now that’s what we all like, right?

3.      And number three, and the most interesting of it all! Free Data with Internet recharge! Yes, that’s right! So here basically if you recharge for a data pack, you are entitled to get free data. How awesome is that! Since most of our work/fun is through the usage of internet, this feature really gives a boost to the application.

Over all the app is a satisfying experience. It provides for the need of the hour. The main problem of ours is the time constraint. We are greedy human beings- when the bills had to be paid by direct cash transfer we wished for e-billing for telephone, television, etc. and now that is there, we want all of it to be in one single platform, so that our time spent on billing is further cut down. Airtel has made that possible with the all new MY AIRTEL APP.

It is indeed an application suited for our smartphones with easy user interface and attractive features.

Crash The Pepsi IPL

I am casting my vote for the following ads made by users for the ##CrashThePepsiIPL .

Crash The Pepsi IPL - Winner - Living It

Kaushal Shah

This video is what we call a well-knit video. It talks about life from everyone's prospect. How Pepsi has walked into our lives many years ago and now is a part of our daily routine. Its packaging is so good, that most Indians use it in some form or the other. This video is one such rare collection, demonstrating all the possible uses of the Pepsi can/bottle. The sentiments of the people are put in this ad very skillfully. How a mother uses the bottle to grow a few plants, how siblings use it to fly kites, how it forms a part of someone’s memory, how roadside vendors use it for their bread and butter, how someone uses it to have fun, how it is used in a different fashion for styling, how friends and family uses it to play a game. It’s Pepsi that has been there in our lives and will continue to be there for many more years to come.

Crash the Pepsi IPL – Winner – Rajma - Upma

 Keerthi Natarajan

Living in the south and also in the north, this ad is something which seemed very very interesting to me personally. The tiff that goes on between the North Indians and the South Indians is so well portrayed in this video. It almost made me laugh, how they fight over the food they have with them. It’s a very common thing among these two communities to fight over the food choice. However, the ending is very nicely thought out. There is always something that binds all communities of a country together. And what better than a bottle of Pepsi! After their show off of the food, when they both take out the bottle of Pepsi, it is a moment of friendly connect. I appreciate this video a lot.

Crash the Pepsi IPL - Winner - Serve

Nikita Deshpande

This ad for me is a total Winner!! The theme of Pepsi IPL is literally explained so beautifully that I am pretty much out of words! How cleverly thought of, how nicely scripted and how beautifully linked with the theme. It almost brought a smile on my face when I saw the Rosgulla and the mention of Kolkata’s team- KKR. And there is no doubt that everyone who watches this will have a smile on their face when they hear their favorite city/ their hometown’s team. I believe the creator of this ad video had an aim to touch the hearts of all their viewers. And I am so happy to say, you did great! And the ad was beautified with the mention of Pepsi at the end of it all, with the IPL tune! Well done indeed.

 “I’m voting for the best ads in the#CrashThePepsiIPL activity in association with BlogAdda from 8th May to 14th May. Are you?”

My Strength- MA

Ma

The creator of me, the ultimate definition of power, the most sensitive at the same time the most daring, my mother, my MA.

Since I was a kid, I have seen you do all that you can in your stride, to make my life better. Every obstacle I face is made easy by your presence. You are my first friend, my first guide, my first expert in life Teaching me how to talk, how to walk when I was a child, you explained to me the meaning of life.

As I grew up, you taught me that the outside world is not a fairytale land, but a place to fight for mere existence. You give me courage when I am in doubt of myself, you give me strength when I am weak, you stand by me when the world thinks I am wrong, could I ever thank  you for what I have become?

The journey towards a better future, to have a better career is your dream. You stand by me now and push me along, so I don’t lack the motivation I need. Parting with me, you endured so much pain, yet you put on a bold face and let me go ahead.

This one day is not enough to tell you how much you mean to me. 
Words and gifts are trivial in comparison to what you have given me.
Every day I feel blessed to have you in my life.
You are the WORLD's BESTEST MOTHER, I say with Pride! 
I may not show you my love, 
I may fight with you over stuff, 
I throw tantrums for no good reason,
but that is only because it is you who will bear with all that and yet love me every day, every season!
I love you Ma. 
You are my first friend, you are my best friend and you are loved more than gestures can express!
Happy Mother's Day!

With Love,

Friendship

                                  

Friendship.

One word which is known to the young and the old. Often for couples they say-“matches are made in heaven”. I say friends are made in heaven.

I might have a whole different outlook towards this concept. I don’t think the whole idea of having someone to go out with and spending recklessly at some pub counts for friendship, (maybe it is the case for some). However, for me friendship is that connection which is so strong that even if you are far away from him/her, you feel their presence in your life. The fact that ever met of yours, be it after a day, a week, a month or a year, it’s exactly the same. The equation never changes. You don’t feel, that the lack of your physical presence caused a harm to your friendship.

                                                   

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

As we grow up, we meet ‘n’ number of people, we try to become friends, but the connection is what matters the most. The heart to heart connection is what I am talking about. Friends are those that wont judge you for gaining those extra pounds of holiday weight, they won’t look down upon you if you lack knowledge somewhere, (they will rather help you in learning about the topic), around them you won’t feel left out if you are broke, they will understand your sadness after breakups and will say something which will immediately crack you up, and the list goes on. They are a rare bunch of crazy, awesome, lunatics and the offenses against them are what strengthens the friendship!

                                            

Friends are for keeps,

With them you share the feels.

To find them is the treasure hunt of life,

Once found, you know you will never have to hide.

P.S. - Dedicated to all my lovely friends, you guys mean the world to me! Love you!

With Love,

This post has been written for Prompt of the Month; a feature of Writer's Ezine

A to Z Challenge 2015 Reflection

This year's writing challenge has been a massive success for me personally. The whole idea about coming up with a new idea every single day, being in sink with your thoughts and emotions, putting your creative car into fourth gear and accelerating the pace as the challenge proceeds is a great way to enjoy the month. It is certainly a very thoughtful initiative as it definitely gives all those like me, who are so busy that they are unable to get down to writing on a continuous basis, the derive to give in all they have to write what they feel.

This year has been really amazing and I am looking forward for 2016 A to Z Challenge,

With Love,
V_RinkiD_V

Z for Zeal

It’s all within us. We just need to find it. The power to achieve, the hunger to conquer lies within. In this vast world, we might be lost at times, situations maybe crop up wherein you feel you are nothing, that life is a waste. 

In those times you need to keep calm and think patiently as to what is your dream, what is that goal you have been wanting to achieve since you were a child, why have you worked so hard till now, what is it that matters the most.

These questions will unveil the truth, it will shed light upon the things that are closest to your heart and it will lead you towards a happy, wonderful life.

Coming to the end of anther years writing challenge, I feel satisfied for having made it till the very end. Blogging is all about expressing your ideas and thoughts, how you feel about something, your sole prospective. This challenge has helped my blog, since so many people from different parts of the world have read it and appreciated the work done. Had it not been for this challenge, this blog would not have reached the people that it did.

Thank you A to Z challenge for this opportunity. And kudos to all those bloggers who took up this challenge and survived till the very end. Cheers to you all!

Y for Young

All around we see so many people who do what not to look young and stay youthful forever. Maintaining a young age is like the most important thing for them.

It is from them that we get to know the meaning of this youth we have. While we have it, we don’t appreciate it enough but once it is gone, we become so desperate that we can do anything to get it back.

 Age is something which stops for no one, what we can do is enjoy every moment of this time. When we are young, we don’t live it enough, thinking about our future and career. And once it’s gone, we regret not having done enough, not living enough, not enjoying enough.

For those that wish they were young, I feel the age is not a factor to feel younger, it is within you to feel young, to feel lively.

So for all, let not age be a factor, spread you wings and fly in which ever direction you want to. There is only one life, live it to the fullest.

With Love,

X for Xerox

Living in India, we have heard it a lot. Xerox has been a very commonly used word amongst all age groups. This is a peculiar situation where photocopy is no longer called photocopy but called by the name of the pioneer company.

In this country no one will ask you to get something photocopied, they will ask you to Xerox it! It indeed is a very strange how people adapt to the company and remembers the service by the company’s name solely.

It could also be the great thinking of the founders of this mechanism and then the management’s strategic thinking about fixing the target markets. India has proven to be a very good market, with customers who still remember Xerox.

W for Who

Who am I? What am I here for? What is my purpose? Am I in the right track of life?

All are questions that define the real person. We are always on the search to find who we really, because it is the starting point of our living.

To question, is to seek more, is to know more. And these questions will help unveil truth about ourselves which would otherwise have not been known, if we dint urge to dig deep into our lives.

“Who am I and why am I here? Has just become my greatest fear.” ― Mohit.K.Misra

Classic Words of Wisdom.

This quote from my favorite play Macbeth, by Shakespeare makes me believe that there is justice in the world. That the wrong deeds with not go unpunished.

Being a victim of mean acts indeed is painful, more so if you are the kind who tries to forgive and gets hurt again and again. This quote gives hope that those cruel acts will not go unpunished.

That blood will have blood.

 That those that did wrong will face the consequences sooner or later.

V for Violent

The nature is a mighty warehouse of unmatchable power. The strength it possesses, the destruction is can cause cannot be compared within anything in this universe.

A tremor in the earth’s surface causes a massive earthquake, leading to destruction and loss of many lives. The violent nature of the destruction brings with it not only fear and trauma but also immense pain and grief. The lives lost, places destroyed all remind us of how powerful mother Earth is.

This afternoon, we experienced one of the strongest tremors in the recent past. A magnitude of 7.9 was the power of this earthquake. So many prominent buildings that stood tall with pride this morning are now mere ruins on the face of this Earth. All those well known temples will no longer see the footfall of the pilgrims. The once so beautiful city, Pokhra is now a red alert area, filled with fear and grief all around.

All the lives lost, all the sadness caused is due to the violence of Nature.

Though the tremors have stopped, the storm that has started in the lives of those victims, will take a long time to stop.

The hope now remains, that God provides strength to all those that are now in great need. They need to be strong, they have to be positive.

Let our prays be with them!

With Love,

V_RinkiD_V

U for Unique

We are all creations of God. He created each and every one of us with a certain purpose. He has given each one of us a particular skill or ability that we know best. It is we, the human, who need to identify the potential we hold, the unique traits we possess so that we can make a beautiful living.

Uniqueness lies in our everyday movement, it may be the way you talk, the way you handle difficult situations, the way you make the most of opportunities or how you are around people. Everything that we do is linked to the unique quality we have. We just need to be a little attentive and identify the unique skill.

We should identify our power and try to amplify the benefits that we can derive out of that power. For distance if you have the uniqueness to speak well, on identifying it you can go ahead and use it in your work place to make a better presentation and so on.

So make that effort, define your uniqueness and do justice to the purpose for which God has created you.

With Love,

V_RinkiD_V

T for Tuning

You know that moment when someone is so sweet and nice to you, and loves you so much. But all you can do is be mean to him. You are unfortunately not able to reciprocate the feelings in the exact same manner. He can be a gem of a person, a great friend, an amazing partner but you are just unable to feel that way for him.

Then starts the dilemma of “what to do?” You don’t want to break his heart, you don’t want to hurt the guy who loves you so very much. But what other options do you have? Thus you end up being a stone hearted, cold, mean person.

This problem happens mainly because of lack of tuning between you two. You both need to be mentally on the same page to be in a steady relationship. You both need to have the same wants and understanding of life. It’s not like he is the only one in the relationship who needs to understand you, get you, but you also need to understand him. One-way traffic of feelings never lead to anything good. It will only leads to heartbreak for the guy, whose only fault is to fall in love with you.

So be brave in the beginning than fake it and give false hope to the poor lad.

With Love,

V_RinkiD_V

S for Song

Song is life. Its importance is more than can be expressed in words. A song can change the mood of a person like magic.

Life is a mixture of happy and sad songs. For every moment you will surprising find a song that fits it the best. The lyrics almost speak what you are going through.

Old songs are so heart touching, that even if you repeat them a thousand times, they still have the same magic every single time you play it. Songs like – Lag ja gale, pyaar hua ikraar hua, and so on.

With Love,

V_RinkiD_V

R for Rhythm

Variation is the only constant in life.

Our life is like an unstoppable train that has stops in between but doesn’t stop permanently. We lead our life with a lot of ups and downs. Some days are so pleasant, it makes us feel like this is what life is all about, the best there is to experience. And yet again some days make you face difficulties where you question your existence.

But all this is a parcel of life. It is the variety which spices up life. Once you feel that everything is perfect, life gives you new worries and lows, and once you overcome them you find your new highs. Our life is like a sound wave, in a rhythm it moves, in a pattern it flows.

To deprive life of this rhythm is like striping of the frosting of a cake. Without this change and mix of good and bad, life would be too monotonous, too plain and too stagnant. What fun will it be if you are happy one moment, and the next and the next and on and on, the true essence of happiness is felt once you overcome the obstacles and the nightmare situations.

So embrace the rhythm of life, and make a wonderful living!

With Love,
V_RinkiD_V

Q for Queen

The Bollywood movie Queen, is a great inspiration for the young generation girls out there. It is a must watch for everyone.

The fact that we are independent and distinct individuals is what matters. Guys think that they have all the right to play with our heart, take us in when they want and leave us as if we were some toy to play with. The whole concept about finding the right guy is really overrated and it is beautifully portrayed in this movie.

The best take away from this movie is that life doesn’t stop, if a guy breaks your heart or decides to leave you for some random, artificial person. On the contrary, what happens is that you discover yourself during this phase. You get to do all the amazing things that you were always restricting yourself, you get to see the world from a whole new prospective, it is this time when you truly feel independent.

Being with a guy doesn’t really mean you know him. There could be a completely different person underneath the guy he portrays to be. All the promises that were made could be fake or could be just out of the sheer fascination to get you to be his. And once you are already his, the craze of getting you subsides and he is out on the hunt to get another girl.

It is really hard to get over the stuff but trust me once you are over it, you emerge as a whole new and strong person. You have the freedom to look at the world like you never did before. You get to do the things that always excited you.

Everything awaits your arrival. Go out there and experience it all. Live the life you deserve. 

With Love,

V_RinkiD_V

P for Pressure

This noon I happened to watch a rather interesting movie named Bangalore days. The plot revolves around the lives of three cousins and an amazing story of how their world takes a whole new course.

While watching this movie, I couldn’t help but notice how the main plot is in tune with the concept of pressure that is imposed upon us by relatives, peers, society.

Pressure builds as one is confronted by numerous questions- where you did your schooling? Where you going to do your college? Did you get a job? Did you find a guy? When are you planning to have kids? And again the same set of questions is replayed for your kids.

So what is this? Why do we have to lead such a life, being under the constant pressure of these unlimited, unwanted questions. We came to this world alone, we have the capability to lead our life the way we want to, then why do we pay so much heed to what others have to say. Why should the small talks of the neighbor bother you, why should you live your life, the way they want you to?!

It is all in you. You have the power to overcome any obstacles and you can do so without depending on anyone. In this journey of life, if you happen to find a partner who is well supportive of your dreams, respects your goals, then you are truly lucky. Let not the negative energy of others get to you. Like the old saying, even if a crab wants to move out the other crabs bring him down, this is the nature of the people around us.

But what is important is the voice within you. You know what is best for yourself and what you need to do to achieve your dreams. 

With Love,
V_RinkiD_V

O for Ordinary

Why is it that we have to be excellent? Why can we not be just simple, Ordinary!

From the very start of our life we are trained to be competing with others. To excel in class, to win every competition, every battle. Is it really that important to win every single time?

Winning maybe a great achievement but being ordinary makes you no less of a human being! If winning was so important, than out of a class of 54 students, only one wins the race to be at the top. What happens to the rest 53 students? They stop living their lives? They give up on all good? They find on purpose for their life?

No! They do find, and they do excel in life. Maybe they don’t achieve the highest rank in the job or they don’t win the best employee award. But they do what they love and live with content. Being ordinary is not a cruse or so. One can be ordinary and at the same time contribute largely to the world.

I believe being ordinary is crucial, for it keeps you humble while at the same time lets you do what you know best. So what, if you don’t win every battle, it doesn’t make you a loser. If anything, it makes you a learner. Every battle is a platform for learning, and every loss is a lesson. Winning or losing is not important, what is important is the fight, the time spent in the process, the journey towards the end.

It is not how fast you pick the bricks or how many you can pick in one go, it is just the process of steady collection of bricks on your way towards the finishing line, which helps you in building a strong house. 

With Love,
V_RinkiD_V 

N for Next

We are always anxious to know what is going to happen in our life, the next thing that will occur. We crave to unlock the doors of the uncertain future. But why?

Is it really that amazing to know exactly what is going to happen in your life? To take out the surprise factor from the event that is yet to take place? We are always wanting to know everything that is going to happen, like we are unable to cope with the uncertainty, as if a plain, boring life is all that we wish for.

Agreed that a little knowledge might make the future better, in case of avoiding a major accident, or something of that seriousness. But other than that? What fun will it be, if you knew who your first date was, with whom you had that first kiss, how your job would turn out to be, or what your children are going to become in future. All these are questions that are answered only once the event occurs. So if you were to know the answers of all these questions, you might not have felt the excitement, the happiness, in the way that you did.

To wait, to live life with the uncertainty brings out that true essence of living. Embrace the uncertainty, take that leap of faith, give yourself the crazy ride without fearing the future and I assure you, life will never be more worthwhile.

So go out there, live the life you wish for, let the fear of unknown future take a backseat.
Live the dream!

With Love,
