Shave-Satasat!!

"Oh God why do I have to shave everyday L gets so boring” these are the common words I have always been hearing from my brother and they continue to be audible from my hubby too.
But yet they land up shaving!! I believe they all prone to the clean shaved face which they love to carry and flaunt!!
Personally I also feel a clean shaved face gives you a fresh look and also shines your personality.
If you are blessed with dimples, a clean shave face would portray them more prominently!!
In my opinion, the stubble is generally associated to the gloomy side of a person. I maybe wrong, as many guys flaunt the stubble tagging themselves to be dude and YO personality. But in my college days a friend with a stubble is always designated as DEVDAS-- “Kya Devdas banke baitha hai.. dadhi kyu nahi kiya J” (Why are you staying like a heart broken lover, why haven’t you shaved J)
An opportunity missed!
If it’s an interview for MNC and you just enter the interview room with stubble. It’s certain the interviewer panel doesn’t frame a very great first impression about you. Despite of a friend being present in the panel things won’t favor you dude!!
This situation is what my brother dealt some months back. Due to some rashes on his face he could not shave and he missed to crack the interview.

Girl parents + Boyfriend == First Meet =èTension J
But a tucked- in shirt along with a clean shave can work wonders JJ
That’s what happened when my Mr. Hubby was called at my pace for first time by my Dad!!
A clean face surely marks a good impression and gets you a tag of neat and tidy. (At least on the look front. No one knows how clean your room or drawers would beJ)
On a personal view: Guys with clean shaven face surely look more charming and become stars at any party or functions. So all you lads out there pick the razor up and do –Satatsat J

Road Safety Annual Meet-2014

Agenda
Introduction of members
NSDF –A brief Introduction
2015 Resolutions
The final Word

Lets began…..
The round table conference is all set. Members are here to give their introduction and start the meeting:
SeatBelt
Hello All! I am the most popular seat belt. When we talk about road safety, we talk about cars and drivers. No driver should start the car before wearing me. It’s a Golden rule!!
But most of the people take advantage of secluded places where they cannot be encountered by traffic cops and ignore using me. But nah nah.. don’t do that.

Don’t you wear a waist belt if your jeans I lose? Just to avoid the embarrassment that it might start lowering in public :)

Then why can’t you wear a seat belt while driving just to avoid the accidents and safeguard your own precious life.


It takes only a few seconds to buckle up once you get in the car. Why wouldn’t you?


Helmet:
Hello everyone!! It’s me the Helmet.. I protect the most important part of your body-The Brain!!
X% of the accidents today occurs due to rash driving of motorbikes. Motorbikes themselves are not completely safe since your body is exposed to external vehicles and you might lose balancing due to road and weather conditions.

If you happen to gobble from your bike wearing me, you might just land up having few bruises on your body and recover soon. Since your head was safe. Image yourself bumping into a heavy vehicle of concrete wall without head protection.

If you are bald and fond of hair.. What would you do? Won’t you wear a wig? Especially you will never forget your wig while attending your parties and functions. Then why not me?
You like to hide your skull in public but you don’t safeguard your skull in public!!
 
Traffic Signal
Hello beautiful people!! It’s me-the tricolour gadget, stamped on almost every corner of the road.
Imagine your roads without me. All would want to go in all directions and bump into each other. Total chaos and no sense of driving and no discipline.
Well I enforce discipline in your driving. So follow me dude or see a traffic cop following you J
Breaking a signal is not only a crime but you would also land up in a situation where you can be bumped by vehicles coming from different directions since they would not expect any one breaking the signal.
As a boyfriend -Wont you wait for your love mate to signal you (when their house is empty) or would you just bump into her home and find her father opening the door for you!! JJ
I not only signal the vehicles’ but also the pedestrians when to move. Please do not cross when I show a stop person signal. This means there are vehicles moving and it’s still time for you to cross the road.
 
Foot Path
A warm hello from me!!! I am a close friend of pedestrians. I am their safe zone. If they use me its a guarantee they would not meet any accidents on the road!
Sign Board
Hello people!! Please stop by and have a look. That's all I have to say. I don't need any introduction, my signs say it all. Follow them properly and you are surely on the safe path
Zebra Crossing
No no , Zebra is not crossing the road, it my name Zebra crossing- I look like zebra. Black & white stripes you see :)
When the signal goes you a green go, walk over me to avoid accidents.

 
 
NISSAN SAFETY DRIVING FORUM -NSDF- What is it all about?
 
The Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., conducts the Nissan Safety Driving Forum (NSDF) in India as part of its safety driving promotion activities. The program began as an annual activity in 2012. In its initial phase it covered three main Indian cities – New Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai – and since then has gradually expanded to several additional cities across India.
This year, NSDF would reach 8 new cities – Chandigarh, Jalandhar, Jaipur, Vadodara, Nagpur, Chennai, Mangalore and Kochi. The overall reach and engagement levels have phenomenally grown and NSDF has effectively reached close to 2 lakh citizens. It continues to stay committed to its core objective of promoting safe driving behaviour in India.
Compared to the previous year, NSDF has witnessed an impressive 126% growth in the sensitisation of wearing seatbelts. In addition, NSDF also conducts live simulated experiences to understand how safety features function through a simulated car crash. A 360-degree turn over highlights the use of seatbelts, while sessions on road safety emphasises on road etiquette to stay safe.
Under its Blue Citizenship CSR umbrella, NSDF by Nissan works to build awareness of safe driving in India. NSDF encourages drivers and passengers to wear seatbelts, and participants learn through interactive activities the importance of wearing seatbelts.

Nissan seeks to support reducing fatalities and injuries caused by traffic accidents, and NSDF represents the company's commitment in contributing to young, vibrant and mobile India.
 
 
Resolution  2015 :
Don't Drink and Drive!!!
Say  No to mobile while driving
 
The Final Word!!!
 
You life is precious. Safe guard it!!!

Globetrotter With Airbnb!!!

We all love travelling... I am sure!!! But what if you land up in a home from home... confused!!

Enter the world of "Airbnb"--a trusted community marketplace for people to list, discover, and book unique accommodations around the world — online or from a mobile phone

I was so amazed when i logged in. They provide just beautiful accommodations, unlike the regular hotel rooms that we book.

They have varied options in:

  • Bungalow
  • Private room
  • shared accommodation
I would definitely love to visit below parts of the world and enjoy stay with Airbnb.

Bali

The amazing beach in Indonesia. Every one knows Bali is famous for the same.
And when you check out below rooms by Airbnb, your stay would be even more beautiful!!











Kashmir:

Paradise of the world!!"Agar duniya mein kahin jannat hai to-yahi hai,yahi hai" :)

Snow claded mountains,valleys beautiful flowers and much more. What else could you ask for to cut off from this fast moving world and work stress!!

Enjoy the stay at houseboats... A entirely out of the world experience.





Switzerland:

I wish to visit Switzerland for magnificent mountain scenery, magical snowy landscapes, countlessattractions in the snow and the ultimate in winter nostalgia!!
The most romantic place that ever exists!! Just waiting to go there. to revive memories of watching my fav movie-DDLJ(whose most of the scenes were shot in Switzerland)

Below is the view from the room that I have selected. Isn't it totally bliss!!






Bora Bora


Bora Bora may feel worlds away, but this South Seas splendor is well within reach. Where is Bora Bora, exactly? The island lies just northwest of Tahiti, less than an hour away by plane from Papeete.
More than just a romantic ideal, Bora Bora is a romantic reality. It comes as no surprise that the island is an internationally acclaimed honeymoon destination.

The wonderful thing about Bora Bora is that you can be as active or inactive as you wish to be. Should you decide to venture away from the resort, you can visit the main village of Vaitape and shop at the local boutiques or dine at one of Bora Bora's restaurants including Mai Kai Bora Bora, La Villa Mahana, or the legendary Bloody Mary's. You can also explore Mount Pahia and Mount Otemanu on a guided hike or Jeep Safari tour.

Since water is a way of life on the island, popular lagoon excursions include snorkeling, diving, cruising, fishing, paddle boarding, kitesurfing, Jet Skiing, and of course, shark and ray feeding. You can also take your experience to new heights by parasailing, skydiving, or touring the island by helicopter.



Greece:


Its said --Experience endless miles of aquamarine coastline, sun-bleached ancient ruins, strong feta and stronger ouzo. The Greek landscape thrills, and Greek people are passionate about politics, coffee, art and gossiping


I wish to satisfy Your Senses with the Greece that I've been imagining, whether it’s through the pulsing nightclubs of Mykonos or the solemnity of Meteora; the grandeur of Delphi or the earthiness of Metsovo; the rugged Cretan hillsides and the lush wildflowers of spring.



It’s easy to understand how so many myths of gods and giants originated in this vast and varied landscape, with wide open skies and a sea speckled with islands, where days melt from one to the next, while we relish the white-sand and palm-fringed beaches

And with below apartments from airbnb,stay would be even more fun!!

Book Review-"God is a Gamer"

When I got this book, I wasn’t too keen to read it, I had never read a thriller novel by an Indian writer and been extremely content at the end. Nor had I read any of Ravi Subramanian’s other books which would have probably made me aware of his writing style.





This book is focused around the idea of Bitcoins, the virtual currency in the online world. Coupled with a series of interwoven plots of gaming industry, a Bank (He is a finance guy J), A US Senator and some aspects from the criminal world, God is a Banker keeps you glued to the plot. I finished God is a Gamer much sooner than I had assumed.


All I knew about the book was that it revolved around the virtual world of ‘bitcoins’ and was the first book to do so. Looking at the book and the back cover synopsis, it was not very clear what the story is about, although the tagline ‘Is revenge a crime?’ build up the curiosity and eagerness to read about the crimes and revenges.


There were a few places in the beginning when I felt there were too many characters in too many sub-stories being thrown out at the reader at the same time and had to go back a couple of times to check who was who. Well this could be avoided if you read it at a stretchJ

What I particularly liked about the writing style was that Subramanian has not just made mere mentions of real people, place, institution and corporate names including the US President, but has researched them carefully and has written about them in detail. Nothing seems to be forcefully present. While reading the book you clearly have the sense that it has not been written by someone who is well-experienced and knows lot of stuff from the finance perspective. And how such things happen behind the scenes.

There is also love story involved and few love making scenes. But not sure were they really required to move the plot ahead. Maybe some things you have in corporate. Just to make it more interesting to the readers.

Not much details are mentioned on what is bit coin mining- How does new bit coins come into system, how to buy them from real cash or how to convert bit coin back to real currency

All said and done, it’s a quite interesting thriller and a recommend book for all!!
