I wasn't born with a dictionary embedded in my mind, and
a few words entered late into my vocabulary. My first tryst with the term
‘adventure’ happened when I was in the fourth grade. There were many pups in my
colony, and I found them so cute that I decided to take one home. True to my
intention, I picked up one and walked towards my home, when quite unexpectedly,
I heard a low growl behind me. "Ah must be some silly cat," I thought. But hey,
cats don’t bark, and I soon realized it when the growl turned into a loud bark.
A dog, supposedly the mother of the pup had started giving me the chase. I ran for
my life.
I hid in an apartment garage nearby. I wasn't eager to
let go of the pup. I wanted to feed it, play with it, and make it my friend,
but unfortunately, the mother dog wanted those very same things. I thought I
was safe now, but no, she soon figured us out, and I was running
again, the pup still in my arms.
After several zig-zag round of my colony, I finally
managed to leave the dog behind. I felt victorious, the thrill emanating in the
beads of sweats wrinkled on my forehead. It was adventurous, picking up the
puppy, being chased by the dog, and then finding my way out of it. I went to my
home and introduced my new friend to my mom. Well, you can disregard what
happened next, as that’s out of the context. To state it briefly, I was ordered
to keep the pup back from where I had brought it. Now, that was another
adventure, keeping the puppy in front of his mother, and then escaping from her
shining jaws.
I became an adventure freak soon after. Stealing mangoes
from Seth ji's orchard became my favorite past time whenever I went to my
village. The mangoes were delicious, and thus you can pardon me from stealing
them. I, with my gang of five other boys, used to frequent the orchard late in
the evening, when Seth ji was not at home. However, one day, while we were
relishing the juicy ecstasy, Seth ji's car honked outside the gate. Alarmed, we
all jumped from the tree to run. However, in the excitement and hullabaloo,
Raja hurt his leg and started crying. Seth ji, who was initially shocked seeing
all these disturbances, now regained his composure and ran behind us with sticks.
We lifted Raja and fled, jumping in full force over the fence and were soon out
of sight.
However, in-spite of what happened that day, we kept on
visiting the orchard, eager to have the delicious fruit and prepared to embark
in new adventures.
Adventures are invigorating. I am no longer a kid, but
that adventure streak still lies deep within me, always looking for a new
opportunity to let go of the crazy thrill. #AdventureNme bring out moments that are forever etched in my memory.
Mornings should be fresh, lively and beautiful. The
chirping of the birds, the cool in the breeze, and the smile on your loved ones
face, isn’t that what we call a perfect dawn, or in better terms, a gold
morning. Morning shows us the day. Well then, how can we ensure that we wake up
to gold mornings that would make our entire day happy and cheerful?
Fitness is of paramount importance, and we need to ensure
that in our quick and fast paced world, we do invest some time on our health.
Even an hour per day would do, and this investment will forever guarantee a
secure return, in the form of a good health. We should regularly exercise and
make sure that we follow the fitness mantra. A good workout, a healthy diet and
a healthy ambiance will surely go a long way in making our mornings golden.
When we talk of fitness, we normally think of physical
workout. No wrong in that, but then there is one aspect we tend to ignore –
oral care. Taking care of our teeth, gums, tongue and mouth is as important as
any other parts of our body. Now of course, there isn’t any gymnasium where we
can work on our oral parts, but surely we can follow a disciplined mouth wash
routine to keep our gums and teeth strong and fit.
Colgate 360 Charcoal Gold was launched solely for this
purpose. A tooth brush with a difference, it takes dental care to a whole new
height. Eat whatever you want, wherever you want, Colgate 360 Charcoal Gold
ensures that germs don’t breed in your smile. It follows the principle of whole
mouth cleaning, which makes you feel fresh and lively all day, and sets you up
for the endeavors that you have planned for the day.
If your morning starts in a sour note (we have all
experienced that), the entire day turns out to be of missed chances and
opportunities. We end up complaining and introspecting on what went wrong. We cannot
control everything, but there are a few stuffs that we definitely can, and one
of them is to take every step to turn our mornings into #Colgate360GoldMornings.
Not only will it keep us happy, it will also create an aura of optimism, love
and positivity all around us. #Colgate360GoldMornings offer unlimited smiles,
starting when we wake up, till the time we are back to bed at night.
I believe that I have the right to stay happy and
blessed, and feel refreshed at all times. #Colgate360GoldMornings offer me
that, and I would like to adopt it in my lifestyle. Staying fit and healthy,
interacting with like minded people, and planning for a bright day ahead will
definitely keep me hail and hearty. My mantra in life is simple – open the eyes to a gold morning and celebrate the day. Every day in our life gives us
new hopes, dreams and aspirations, and I would love to make the most of it.
That’s what gold mornings are for, and will always be.
I agree to ensure (to the best of my abilities and circumstances) that this blog post will remain accessible in an un-altered state for a minimum of one year.
