The Secret Ingredient

Sharing is Caring !!

A girl was watching her mother cooking a dish in the kitchen. On the shelf, there were several containers, neatly labelled, each containing a component like salt, sugar, oil, vinegar or a spice. She opened the lids of the containers in a definite order and added the required amount of each ingredient into the cooking vessel which was heated on a stove. Finally, she opened a container and looked inside for a while and then closed it. Then she served the delicious dish to everyone with great love. The children relished the dishes with a smile. This happened every day.



One day, the mother was too sick to cook. Her daughter agreed to do the cooking. She followed the mother’s recipe. The girl examined the labels of every container while trying to follow the directions of her mother. She found that the last vessel did not carry a label and so ignored it. She placed the cooking vessel on the stove and put on the flame.

When the dish was getting ready, out of curiosity, she opened the unlabeled vessel to find the secret ingredient, which her mother used to open, observe and close like a ritual every day. She was surprised to find in that vessel, a small card on which was written a short verse from the Holy Bible, 


Do all your work in love – 1 Corinthians 16: 14.

Now she realized how her mother used to serve their food with love every time after reading the message in the last vessel.

So let us all remember and “Do every small things with great love” and make the world a better place !!

Shop on the go with mobile shopping apps

Sharing is Caring !!

Being a crazy online shopper, it is mandatory for me to check my email for special deals and offers by popular shopping websites. I love buying stuff online since it lets me explore more options, get competitive pricing and save time and money while getting things I want to. Whether it is a lipstick or a décor piece for my coffee table, everything is sourced from the virtual world. Everyone who shops online or love to do so will understand this very well.

The only complication is to wait to get my hands on a laptop or computer with internet access, which is not always around. In some of the offices, such websites are banned, only because of mad shoppers like me. Shopping apps for mobile phones are a boon, a blessing by the gods of shopping world for followers of this religion. These apps have made it much easier for me and other mad shoppers to buy anything they wish with an ease.

If you are new to this world, let me tell you, users of mobile shopping app get special discounts, deals and offers every day. Some of these offers are quite lucrative and they are obviously limited to app. If you will try to get them from your desktop site, it won’t happen. You will also get push notifications once a sale or discount begins on the site. Isn’t it cool! Special offers meant only for you!

With the shopping app, you can now simply go to your order page, select your particular order and choose return or exchange with a click if a product was unable to appeal you. Much easier than signing on to your desktop site and doing the same thing isn’t it.

You saw a product but you do not want to buy it right now. Save it for later using save option. It is exactly like working on your wish list for your birthday gift. Mobile shopping app also lets you share the product with your friends if you like something for them through social media apps. You will not have to take screenshots and then look for the product later on!

Lets Digitize India

Sharing is Caring !!

Introduction:

As we all know, Digital India is an initiative of our beloved Government of India to integrate the government departments and the people of India. It aims at ensuring the government services are made available to citizens electronically by reducing paperwork. The initiative also includes plan to connect rural areas with high-speed internet networks. Digital India has three core components. These include the creation of digital infrastructure, delivering services digitally and digital literacy.

Vision Of Digital India:

Make all Public Services accessible to the common man in his locality, through common service delivery outlets and ensure efficiency, transparency and reliability of such services at affordable costs to realize the basic needs of the common man

Even though this project is slated for completion by 2019, with global tech giants such as Intel fostering our government’s vision of a Digital India through its ‘Digital Skills for India’ and ‘Innovate for India’ initiatives, the project can complete way sooner than the planned date. Intel has been fostering technology as the enabler for creating a digitized India.

Why to Digitize?

Digitizing India is process of evolution. We live in 21st century where everything is getting modernized and digitized. If we still use paper and pen and loads of manual record books at every office, it will look like we haven’t evolved. When whole world is booking tickets online, if we stand in queue to do the same, we go a step backwards in making India a developed nation. So to evolve as a nation and make India a Developed nation we have to Digitize India.

How to Digitize?

We know a fair bit about digitizing. It means making it available online to the world wide web. Digitizing India is like digitizing a Brand. Just like how we promote and market a brand to more exposure in social media, similar steps needs to follow to Digitize India. Nations bright minds have collaborated and came up with National e-Governance Plan (NeGP) as a solution to Digitize India. The plan is to make all government services available via electronic media to the every citizen of India.

How e-Governance helps Digitize India?

e-Governance makes the Government Smart. Through usage of e-Governance common man gets empowered. Through its usage all government services will be available to citizens in a convenient, efficient and transparent manner. The transparency which is much needed in a democracy can be bought back through e-Governance. It is also a wonderful tool to bring accountability and whistle blowing in India. Efficient e-governance is an innovative way to deliver government services and exchange information with citizens in a convenient and transparent way, saving both time and money. Increase in smartphones and internet access can surge the growth of e-governance. With many nations following this path, we can take a leaf out of their books as experience and fasten our process. Also with many multilateral organizations upping efforts to share e-governance experience such as Intel through its ‘Digital Skills for India’ and ‘Innovate for India’ initiatives fostering technology for #DigitialIndia & Better tomorrow.  With innovative apps and technology which can reach common men, we can surely Digitize India and make it top of the developed nation list.

Lets Join hands with INTEL and make #DigitalIndia !!

 

Spice up the Summer with Denim Shirts

Sharing is Caring !!

Summer is on it way and there is a big misconception among people that Denim‘s are not for summers & Denims are hard so we should go for cottons and linen in summers in order for our skin to breathe.

Well as I said, its just a misconception and you can wear Denim‘s in summer and still stay COOL !!

Here in this post I will tell you how to flaunt denim shirts in summer and rock it !!

Steps to Spice up the Summer with Casual look using Denim Shirts:

  • Choosing the Best Shirt:

As we are trying to shop denim shirts for summers, we have to look closely at the fabric and weight of the apparels.

The fabric must be 100% cotton so it doesn’t trap sweats and hot air against the skin. Summer’s also a time when you want looser, breezier fits that allow a little airflow. So go for regular fits instead of tighter slim fits. You can go for both Half as well as full sleeves and in case of full sleeves you can always roll up the sleeves . Also check whether the denims are washed or raw. Unwashed raw denims will be stiffer and less breathable until broken in, so always go for washed denims both manual or machine washed will be fine.

Denims comes in grey, blue, navy and black colors mostly.  Denim shirts also give a bold and macho look if it has patches and stitch detailing. Choose the one you love in your favorite color.

  • Pairing it Up:

Whoever said, denim shirts doesn’t go well with denim trousers must have been blind.  Pairing a lighter shade denim shirt with darker shade denim trousers and vice verse will lead to a classier look. Light weight jeans can actually feel better than some khakis and chinos in the summer. If you are going for a sporty casual look, try denim shorts or colorful linen/cottons shorts to spark some magic.

  • Perfect Footwear:

Every attire needs a proper footwear to make it look complete. This applies even for casual looks. Perfect fit when denim shirts and jeans are paired up would be loafers/slip-on.  When the sleeves are rolled up, slip-ons without socks is perfect.  When shorts are paired up with denim shirts, its good to go with flip flops.

Keeping all these pointers in mind, I started to fill up my shopping cart in my favorite shopping portal ZOVI.

  • Shirt:

The search for the super denim shirt for casual summer look led me to this –> CLICK HERE

I immediately added this to cart, as it satisfied all my pointers.

And the search ended with this –> CLICK HERE
