Fly With The Flying Jatt



A lazy Saturday and an entertaining movie makes a perfect combination. And if you want to relish it, do tune in to Zee Cinema on 22nd October at 8 PM.

Why should you listen to me and watch this film? The reasons are aplenty, and here I am listing a few of them.

1. India's First Flying Superhero



India’s first flying superhero – A Flying Jatt saves the day in the coolest way. Bestowed not only with this incredible superpower our man can also display some jaw-dropping martial art moves.

2. This Superhero has a Supermom



Most of the superheroes that we know pledge to save the world and have lost their parents to an accident. But this super hero has a supermom who constantly reminds him of his duties. A typical Indian mother, she scolds him every time he is reluctant to use his superpowers. She definitely is a supermom!

3. Powers + Killer dance moves = Legendary Superhero



You might be Superman or Batman but one thing our flying Jatt wins at is killer dance moves. Saving the world and burning the dance floor all in one - WOW! Now that is what they call a superhero. Let’s shake our booty on the beat with this superhero.

4. The youngest Superhero



Hrithik Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan also had special powers in movies like Krrish and Ra.One respectively. But what sets Tiger Shroff apart is his age. At 26, he bagged a superhero movie as his third film while the others have had a longer run in films before their superhero ventures.

5. Jatt Fly Karda



As the name suggests, Flying Jatt is all about a superhero who not only goes all out to save his city, but also believes in his prime religious duty of helping mankind. He is the first superhero who has incorporated his human and religious sensibilities in saving his city.

6. Accidental superhero



Our very own superhero was not born with these powers but became a superhero by accident. A superhero at heart and and one who is courageous enough to fight despite being scared is what makes an ordinary man a true superhero.

7. Do your chores before you catch the ‘chors’



He is no ordinary superhero because at home, he has to do all the chores like any other child. From lending a helping hand in cleaning the house or buying vegetables, this superhero has to do it all. He might be a superhero for the world but at home, you have to do what your mother asks you to do.

8. A hero with a consciousness



We all have to give back to our society and the Flying Jatt definitely believes in this.  A protector of mother nature and a condemner of pollution, this superhero does all to protect the environment.

9. A child at heart



He might have a serious job at hand but he is a child at heart. This is what sets him apart making him a fun, relatable superhero. He has the superpowers but he also has a child in him who will touch your hearts.

10. He is coming to meet you soon



This superhero has no airs about having special powers and is very down to earth and humble. So, he has decided to meet you and save his beloved city of Amritsar with the World Television Premiere of his film, A Flying Jatton 22nd October, 2016 at 8PM (http://www.zeecinema.com).

Caving The Web - Binary Caves

The dawn of the digital era has positively impacted India the most, out of all developing nations. By 2020, it is estimated that five billion people will be online, representing two-thirds the population of the planet. India is expected to be the biggest contributor to those numbers, for over a billion people in India still aren’t connected to the Internet! A plethora of start-ups, web companies and digital marketers have emerged through this decade of metamorphosis from India to Digital India. The redundancy of methodology adopted by 85% of these web companies has rendered a hideous display of design, development and content on the Internet. Those antiquated methods are conspicuous in legions of projects fabricated by the conventional, insipid ‘Infotech’ companies in India. Experience is a major strand of their sales. They sure are experienced, yes, but not in what it takes to craft the modernistic. Consider this- The manufacturer of the first ever mobile phone that came with a long antenna might be the most experienced man in that niche, but that doesn’t mean you will buy it now, does it?
Objective considerations of contemporary phenomena compel the conclusion that great web design exhibits the seamless blend of purpose, navigation, responsiveness, clarity and effects, all of which are deficient in most projects. Binary Caves, is a web, app development, social media and graphic designing firm constituted by accomplished professionals in Mumbai, that deliver a la mode and modernistic products.
Here are 5 factors that set Binary Caves (http://binarycaves.com) apart from the rest and contribute to them becoming the fastest growing web company in India-
1. Content

An often overlooked yet considerable element that must invariably be taken into account is content. Content is to a website what an artist’s palette is to a canvas. The last thing you want to do is hire someone linguistically challenged penning what your consumer may read! Especially in India, the number of agrammatic websites lounging about the Internet is frightening. Binary Caves has a separate team that overlooks the content of a project with painstaking precision, simplicity, clarity and elegance.


2. Responsive Design (“Mobile Friendly”)

Have you ever opened a website on your phone to a miniscule desktop version and you had to zoom in to click on the buttons? The solution to that has long been found, even if it eludes some of our veterans. Responsive design basically means that the layout of the website will adjust itself to any device, be it a mobile or smart television, in order to provide optimal viewing by using fluid, proportion based grids, CSS3 media queries and flexible images. Binary Caves fabricates websites commensurate with the modern standards of responsive design, giving your viewers a great experience on all devices, be it phones, tablets or televisions.


3. Elements of Modern Web Design


Times have evolved since HTML was invented and you thought it was an achievement to know how to send an email. The elements of modern web design when incorporated thoughtfully render a spellbinding spectacle, accentuating the beauty of the Internet and improving the potential visitor’s experience. Binary Caves makes full use of these – from parallax scrolling,  j-query effects to large typographic elements. The image above provides a small look into their arsenal.


4. Custom Featured Images


Although it is commonplace to relate graphic design with print media, it is an essential aspect of effective web design. Products don’t sell, good images of products sell. Content is an intrinsic part of web design, but it can easily be brushed aside for a beautifully shot and edited photograph. Pictures induce emotion, which is worth its weight in gold. Binary Caves believes in effectively explaining the innovation you bring with tantalising pictures.


5. Free SEO and SMO for 30 Days


Fabricating a website doesn’t really solidify your business online, marketing it does! Binary Caves treats every project they undertake as their own and build an entire online presence of your business. From submitting your sitemap to search engines, to integrating all professional social media handles into your website, Binary Caves does everything to construct an online marketing foundation.

This post is a testament to Binary Caves’ unparalleled service, and we request you to share this on your social media accounts for it is a step forward in making India Digital. You are also entitled to a 30% discount (Valid before 31st April) should you choose Binary Caves as your online partner! This discount can be availed by scanning this QR code

Go Green With DOT



Pollution is a major concern in today's world. The high number of wastes deposited in air, land and water has lead to several forms of illness. People speak of drastic measures to curb the pollution, but we all know, it's not easy to implement them in a short period of time. We need proper planning that can save the environment gradually, and create greater impact, rather than a rushed solution that may not be feasible in the long run. In short, what we require is a dot by dot measure.



Speaking of dots, a green mobility startup based in Gurgaon, India, came up with its app MY DOT (http://gowithdot.com/). This can be downloaded via Google Play on Android smartphones. The question arises as to what does this app address.If you list the major polluted cities in the world, you will find Delhi NCR right at the top, along with many other Indian cities and towns. DOT aims to clean the environment by launching services such as ebikes, electric rickshaws and buses in various locations in India. In fact, DOT is the first ebike taxi service in India launched in August 2015. Currently, the service is operational in Gurgaon, and the company is focusing next on Goa and Delhi. The ebike service company recently completed 100,000 kilometers in its pilot phase in Gurgaon.



Vineet J. Mehra, the former India Executive Director of Stemcor, and the founder of DOT, said, "Sustainable pro-environment business solutions offered by DOT will change the landscape of India and hopefully, into a much greener one."



How is DOT different from the rest? The biggest plus is its use of electric vehicles that reduces carbon footprints of the whole automotive industry. The e-bikes are free of both air and noise pollution, which is a growing menace in big cities. The numbers may look small at the moment but the impact they will have on off-setting the pollution caused by conventional fuel driven vehicles would be incremental, once DOT services reaches all locations of Delhi NCR and Pan India. For example, by completing 100,000 kms, DOT saved the Gurgaon air from emission of carbon dioxide by 8 Tons and PM by 31 Kgs. 



DOT is launched in support of Make in India, Digital India and Swachh Bharat initiatives. For any further information, one can contact Heavena at heavena@gowithdot.com or call 8510876554.

Experience Movies With Flickstree

If you are a movie buff, and I am sure you are (after all, who doesn't love to watch good movies?), you need to bookmark www.flickstree.com in your web browser. You may be raising your eyebrows, and twisting your knuckles in wonder, because there is a high chance you haven't heard of this site before. Well, that is because Flickstree is a relatively new platform that is poised to be the next big thing in the entertainment and personalization space, redefining moving watching and satiating the thirst of the cinema lover in you.



In simple terms, Flickstree is a smart website and mobile app, so smart that it can recommend you movies based on your liking and taste. Yes, you heard me right. The algorithm uses an advanced machine learning, where every movie passes through a set of well designed critical lens of varied filters, before the suggestions are passed on to you. Also, the site informs you of the numerous platforms where the movie is currently available to watch and enjoy.



I am fond of watching quality movies, and discovering new ones. However, till recently, the only search mechanisms that I had to find movies worth watching were my friends, colleagues and peers, and a few websites. However, most of the them only provided names of popular movies, and the relatively unknown ones, though high in quality, were left unexplored. This utter indecisiveness also lead to wastage of time without any genuine result, and there were occasions when I had to simply abandon the plan to rent or download the film. Not any more, though. Flickstree promises to change that, and in a big way. The website is ready and roaring. In order to create a mobile site and an app, Flickstree is crowd funding on Indiegogo at http://bit.ly/1SvHLKS.



The funds that will be collected via this campaign will also help Flickstree expand its horizon. For example, it can then cater to more languages of cinema, run insight gathering and feedback program to improve the platform further. Flickstree as a concept has a huge potential, and the future for it looks really bright.

My Airtel App






What are apps for? To make our lives smoother, easier and a lot more relaxing. Well, we do have a number of apps in the market that can be downloaded as per our needs, but don’t we all need that one app that we can really regard as our own, something that will serve us in multiple areas as per our needs, benefiting us in ways more than one.

‘My Airtel App’ serves the purpose. Its multiple features can make your day, providing you with options galore that turns your day to day activities into pleasant tasks. There are no rooms for complaints, as the app takes care of a lot of stuffs which otherwise prove to be a headache. As I explored the app, I came across several salient features that proved to be of immense help. Listed below are the three features that really earn this app brownie points, taking it ahead of the race when compared with other apps that promise similar service.

Online payments are in trend. We pay most of our bills through net banking or credit/debit card, using the online portals to fulfil the task. However, are we not worried about the safety of these transactions? ‘My Airtel App’ reduces our concern in this regard. Its brilliantly designed interface to pay online bills is both secure and quick, a perfect combination one would say, and makes payment of bills a lot easier. What is more, I can even store the details of my card for future transactions, leading to less time consumption. Recharging one’s phones or paying bills have never been easier before.

We tend to follow a fixed routine while performing some tasks, like say, we would want to buy a data pack on a particular day every month. However, unfortunately, due to our hectic schedules we miss the date, leading to numerous inconsistencies. ‘My Airtel App’ provides the flexibility to store all our tasks under its ‘I Want To’ option, so that one wouldn’t miss any item as per his planned timings. It’s easy, interactive and gives one the ease to engage in other activities without worrying about duty dates.

We love freebies, don’t we? What if every recharge we did earned us free coupons that could be further redeemed. Wishes are turned to reality with ‘My Airtel App’.  Whenever you do a recharge, you will be rewarded with gift coupons that you can use at multiple stores like PVR Cinemas, Café Coffee Day, Flipkart.com, Amazon.in, Ebay.in, Myntra.com, Archies, VLCC and a lot more. Thus, by spending, one is also earning, which serves as a bonus.

‘My Airtel App’ is a must for every smartphone user. Not only does it make your life easier, it also makes it a lot smarter.

Ek Nayi League



While we are inclined to follow our heart most of the time, we also have to pay attention to what our mind has to say. There are times when we find ourselves on such a crossroad where we have to choose between the heart and the mind. What we choose decide our journey, and the road that we need to walk to reach our goals.

When you speak of sporting legends, Kapil Dev stands high in the list. One of the most innovative cricketers ever, he was as destructive with the bat as with the ball. The desire to master something new has been his forte, a fact which gets highlighted again as he is all set to launch his venture #EkNayiLeague.

Now, I have no clue what #EkNayiLeague is all about, but guessing by the promotional campaigns, it seems to be a venture where the mind should rule over the heart in order to get positive results. Thus, one should decide wisely and take the correct decisions after analyzing every pro and con. Which field will this be focusing upon? If I am allowed to take a wild guess, I would say ‘Insurance.’

We never know what is going to happen tomorrow. In fact, why go all the way to tomorrow when we are clueless about the events that might unfold the very next moment? Thus, being insured is a primary responsibility of every citizen, not just for his own sake but also for his family. When one opts for the right kind of insurance, he or she plays a safe bet, knowing that he or she has secured his or her tomorrow, come what may. Perhaps #EkNayiLeague is an initiative that offers lucrative Insurance options that any sane person should opt for. Your heart may tell you that all is well and you do not need insurance, but think with your mind to excel in the innings of your life.

#EkNayiLeague seems to be an initiative to act wisely today to have a better tomorrow. Insurance is something that everybody needs, right from the celebrities to the common man. Since the term League is used here, I guess that there will be many plans that will be customized to meet the insurance needs of the individual. We all have our own needs, and thus having a league of several options would make it all the more feasible and generate appeal among the masses.

Kapil Dev is an icon, and thus anything he promotes will be worthy of attention. #EkNayiLeague too would surely turn out to be a success. I am eagerly looking forward to what it actually is. I am not sure if my guess of #EkNayiLeague being a conglomeration of Insurance plans is correct or not, but whatever it is, I would love to know more about it and be a part of this venture.

Stay Fresh With Hydro-Jal Plus

It’s summer, the time of the year when we prefer quenching our thirst sipping soft drinks. We love the taste, and the cold refreshment seemingly associated with them. Now, there is a reason why I used the term ‘seemingly’. What appears to be a source of instant refreshment is actually the short cut to danger and health hazards guaranteed in the longer run. The high concentration of sugar and acidity in soft drinks do more harm than good. They steal water from the body that could lead to dehydration, thus reducing our immunity and making us weak right at the cellular level. Our health should be of primary importance. Shouldn’t we take extra care to preserve it by drinking the right type of water?

Water can either be acidic or alkaline. Years of research have proved that alkaline water is more beneficial in terms of calcium retention and bone strength. Acidic water results in consumption of toxic materials, which are hazardous. Infections and diseases occur, making one prone to sickness and ill health.

Households receive tap water that is used for daily activities. Should tap water be consumed? The answer is no due to the large amount of impurities that it may contain. To solve this problem, several brands have launched water purifiers that convert the tap water to purified water. However, as weird as it may sound, but purified water too isn’t good for consumption at all times. It does help when one is in the process of cleansing his body and drinks purified water for a few days, but using it as an option for a longer period of time is certainly not advisable. Purified water lowers the quantity of nutrients in body, and absorbs carbon dioxide when in contact with air. Thus, it tends to turn acidic.

Acidic water leads to dryness. To keep us hydrated we should opt for alkaline ionised water. Hydro-Jal Plus offers a perfect solution to produce water that’s best for us and our families. The Hydro-Jal Plus water ionizers use electrolysis to produce alkaline water that’s recipe for good health, nourishing and hydrating our systems. The high PH in this water neutralizes the acidic wastes present in our body, making us feel better and more energetic. Its negatively charged hydroxyl ions called ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) neutralize cancer causing positively charged free radicals. The hydroxyl ions act as antioxidants, detoxifying our bodies. They also lead to natural weight loss of fat.


If we list the benefits of alkaline water produced by Hydro-Jal Plus, we would observe the following points:

1)      Eliminates harmful toxins,
2)      Delays the aging process,
3)      Extra energy without extra calories,
4)      Improved concentration and focus,
5)      Increase in stamina,
6)      Leads to better sleep,
7)      No muscle pains,
8)      Helps in weight loss,
9)      Improves immunity,
10)   Boosts digestive system,
11)   Shields against common cold,
12)   Helps to fight constipation,
13)   Makes skin and hair more beautiful,
14)   Decreases lactic acid production,
15)   Reduces cramping of muscles,
16)   Leads to true hydration,
17)   Vital nutrients are absorbed more efficiently,
18)   Improved taste of water.

Phew. Aren’t these reasons enough to install Hydro-Jal Plus in our homes? But hey, these aren’t all. We can even use the Ionized Acid Water from Hydro-Jal Plus in a large number of ways. For instance, it could be a good alternative to hair conditioner, deodorant and aftershave. It can be used to remove dandruff, acne and wrinkles, thus improving the overall appearance. It can also help in cleaning our homes and household goods.

We live in a world infested in pollution. It's difficult to stay fit in such circumstances. However, we can definitely adopt the best possible means to make our drinking water healthier and better. Hydro-Jal Plus is, therefore, a necessity today in every household.

Smartphone Redefined With ASUS Zenfone 2



Smartphones are the need of the hour. It keeps us connected to the world on the go, and helps us maintain communication at all times. It provides us with knowledge as well as entertainment, engaging us with its varied features and functionalities. As such, I was also looking for an efficient smartphone and heard about ASUS Zenfone 2. I checked its details and specifications, and realized that this is one phone which really defines smartness on every parameter. I can provide several reasons why ASUS Zenfone 2 is my current favourite. Here are five of them:
  1. While a smartphone promises several features, often the lack of compatible processor messes up the experience. Applications tend to ‘hang’, while games get stuck in between as you play. Anyone who has come across such scenarios would agree how irritating it is. Zenfone 2 addresses this problem efficiently, equipped with upto 2.3GHz 64-bit Intel Atom Z3580 processor and 4GB RAM.
  2. Smartphones often come associated with the complaint of quick battery drainage. Zenfone 2 takes care of this as well. With the introduction of ASUS Boostmaster Technology, the handset gets charged at double the speed. As such, one doesn’t need to wait for long for the phone to regain its battery power before operating it.
  3. Most smartphones come with dual sim option; so does Zenfone 2. What’s new then, one would ask. Zenfone 2 features Dual Active technology. This means that if you are on a call using Sim 1, and if you receive a call on Sim 2, you can easily switch between the two Sims. This would ensure that one doesn’t miss any important calls. Isn’t that great?
  4. I love the design of Zenfone 2. The ultra thin body and the comfortable arc structure provides great look with an aesthetic appeal. The remarkable feature of its layout is the 5.5-inch Full HD IPS display with incredible 403ppi pixel density. Thus, movie watching experience too gets a boost in such a rich viewing screen.
  5. The camera of Zenfone 2 is astonishing. Its 13MP PixelMaster camera and f/2.0-aperture lens will leave no stone unturned in providing the best quality pictures. The zero shutter lag ensures that the moments get captured in real time, and special memories are not lost. What is more, it also captures bright images in low light without flash, and that’s a big plus. One can also use Real Tone flash for warmer skin tones and more accurate colours.
As I go through these features again and again, I fall in love with the ASUS Zenfone 2 each time. I am now convinced that this handset will really redefine my Smartphone experience. The innovation in this product speaks volumes about the commitment shown by the ASUS team. This is one smartphone I am eagerly looking forward to get hold of soon.

Nashta With Guptaji



Who wouldn’t like to start his or her day with a healthy breakfast? As studies have shown, the first meal of the day, the breakfast, is indeed the most important one. Thus, a combination of nutrients and taste should be the ingredient to start a perfect morning.

If you are looking for that perfect nashta with lip – smacking taste and energy embedded in it, head straight over to Guptaji’s house. I came across their family, and was amazed to know that they have over a hundred different recipes for breakfast, all using Kelloggs cornflakes. Wow! Isn’t that incredible? This just sounds like the items in a menu card of a multi – star restaurant.

The best thing about Guptaji’s nashta is that there is something for everyone. There are different varieties of recipes catering to my needs and taste, and also takes the occasion in consideration. I can join with my family for Apple Cinnamon Cornflakes, brimming with a high health quotient, or go for the Homework Wala Nashta after a hard day’s work with cornflakes, cabbage and cucumber. Guptaji is an endearing personality, and has also prepared a nashta for entertainment. Cornflake Popcorn Clusters serves as a perfect nashta while watching movies with friends or family.

To start my mornings with heaps of positivity, I will choose Strawberry and Banana Cornflakes. The taste is delicious undoubtedly. However, it’s that bright colour combination of yellow (cornflakes), white (banana) and red (strawberry) that attracts me more.

And for all the chocolate lovers like me, Guptaji has something magical in store. The Walnut Cornflakes Choco Ball is a delight, and yet not sinful. It’s amazing when taste combines so seamlessly with healthy food, ‘cause then one does not need to control his or her cravings anymore. This nashta, I tell you, smells yummy and tastes heavenly. I could never have enough of it.

Anything crunchy and spicy makes my taste bud go weak. I have to resist myself to stop going for those roadside stalls regularly. However, Guptaji, the kind soul that he is, has found a perfect solution to my needs. The Chatpatti Cornflakes Chivda is that ideal snack that I would love to munch upon, anytime, everytime.

That’s not all. Guptaji surprises me with yet another item that he has on offer for nashta. He has named it Cornflake Coconut Ladoos. The yummy laddoos are a treat to watch and taste. The best thing is that I can have lots of laddoos without worrying about calories. If that’s not enticing, then what is?

Sitaphal Cornflakes is another item on the breakfast table that ensures a healthy start to the day. Cornflakes and custard apple can be an electrifying pair, and Guptaji proves that wonderfully.

Thus, I can find no reason why I shouldn’t go to Guptaji’s house for breakfast. He is warm and cordial, and with such a large variety of breakfast items to choose from, why should I even think twice?

Guptaji, here I come.

Being Happy On International Day Of Happiness



Being happy is easy. One doesn’t have to spend anything to earn a few smiles, or a few moments of laughter. Don’t they say that the best things in life are free? What can be better than the feeling of being happy and joyous?

How can we be happy then? There are no predefined rules, no definite formula that can take us through the magic doors of happiness, and perhaps that’s what makes it all the more special. In short, one doesn’t need to do much to be happy. We have the power to be happy always, and can unleash it anywhere, anytime.

Happiness comes from simple things. I am happy when I compose a new tune on my guitar. I feel joyous when I write down a satisfying piece of article. I get delighted when I travel new places, exploring and learning about different cultures. Happiness thus comes in numerous forms.

Meeting family and relatives, and spending time with them provide me with a feeling of serenity and an ambiance of comfort that in turn leads to happiness. Success on the professional front makes me feel good about myself. Thus, we can ensure to be happy in our personal and professional lives if we learn to create a proper balance between the two.

Happiness is festivals, and India being a land of numerous cultures, there is no lack of festivities in this country. People belonging to different communities have their own moments of celebrations, and when all of them join hands together to celebrate each other’s festivals, it sums to happiness all around. I love celebrating all types of festivals with my friends and family. The revelry that comes hand in hand with festivals is what makes me happy.

I am a foodie, which means I crave for sumptuous and delicious dishes. I am a big fan of Indian and Chinese cuisines, and savouring them is what gives me ultimate delight. I love dining in restaurants, sometimes trying out new items from the Menu card that those places have on offer. I also sometimes try my hand in cooking, experimenting with new recipes that I come across on different sites on net.

And then, there is love. Fall in love, and rise in happiness, exactly what happened with me. Talking with her, my fiancée, after a hard day’s work, relieves all my tiredness and stress, and makes me feel happy. Extremely happy. Perhaps that’s what real happiness is each, feeling and caring for one other, sharing our problems and moments of success, supporting through times thick and thin, and experiencing even the smallest moments of lives by magnifying them to infinite proportions.

Let’s celebrate this International Day of Happiness with our dear ones, doing things which we love to do, and having good food complimented by Coca Cola, thus turning it into the most memorable day of our lives. Happiness comes easy, we just need to welcome it in our lives, whole heartedly.

Being Together

I woke up with a sombre mood one Saturday morning. Not Monday, but Saturday, and that’s pretty unnatural you would say. I agree to some extent. However, often circumstances invite negativity along with them, spoiling our mood irrespective of what day it is.

How does weekend matter when you know you didn’t perform well in your last examination? Add to it living all alone in a new place, away from your family. Telephonic conversations can’t be used as a substitute all the time when you need a motivating pat on your back or a caring hand on your shoulder. Moreover, on a bad day like this, they make you feel lonelier once the conversation is over.

I still remember that day. It was raining incessantly, the roads were waterlogged and I was slated to be confined to my rented room for the whole day, which made matters worse. I had planned to go out, meet a few friends and relax, but I guessed that wasn’t on the cards. I was walking towards the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea, when I heard a faint knock on the door. Perhaps it was the sound of rain, but no, it seemed more like nails scratching on a hard surface. I opened the door but could see no one. I was about to close it when luckily my eyes turned towards the floor. I use the word ‘luckily’ ‘cause what I witnessed played a vital role in making my day pleasant and memorable.

A kitten, tiny, white, and fluffy like cotton, was staring at me with its little green eyes.

I picked up the kitten and brought it inside. Perhaps she needed shelter from the rain outside, and had somehow come across my doorstep. At least, I had some company now to spend my time.

I took out the milk carton from the refrigerator and poured some on a bowl for my little guest. I placed it before it. The kitten retraced a few steps, may be out of fear. I caressed the top of its head to assure that there was nothing to worry. I was only a friend. Animals understand the language of love. The kitten stepped forward, and started licking the milk. I felt a sudden feeling of warmth and goodness within me. I sat besides my new buddy, watching it drink.

At times, the kitten would raise its head, look at me, and then again go back to its food. After it had fully satisfied itself, it walked towards me, and jumped on my lap. I never had a pet, and this was only my first close acquaintance with an animal (if you ignore the incidents of dogs barking at me and chasing me on roads). The kitten then inched towards my hands, and started licking them. I had never experienced a love of this kind before. I tickled its tummy, it ran and then returned to me.

We spent the entire evening playing. The rain finally stopped, and I heard the mew of a cat outside. The kitten jumped as soon as it heard the sound, and ran towards the door. I opened the door, and saw a white cat sitting. The kitten seemed leaped in delight, and sped towards the cat. I guessed it was probably the mother, and what better scene can there be than a mother – child union?

The two walked away, playing and jumping and running. I kept looking at them, until they were no longer in sight. I was feeling happy, and at peace. All worries of morning seemed to have evaporated. I was bathed with a dawn of optimism and positivity. After all, I spent the entire day with a new friend. Being #together is powerful, and it’s the best thing one can have. Trust me.

A Musical Dream



I wasn’t a bad student. I was pretty decent in studies, scoring fairly well in exams. I got into engineering, passed out and joined an MNC.

Life was sailing smoothly, and there was hardly anything I could complain of. However, I felt something was missing, perhaps a piece of the jigsaw puzzle that was still to be attached to form the perfect picture. I knew what was boggling my mind, and yet, I preferred to silence the voices in the head. After all, when will I have time for music?

Yes, music it was. I enjoyed my college fests, not only because of the delicious foods and games that were on offer, but also due to the musical extravaganza that was on show in those couple of days every year. Reputed bands, singers and musicians used to perform in the events, their brilliance sparkling in the starry nights, the tune leading to a perfect crescendo.

I was inspired. I wanted to learn the guitar, and decided to buy one as soon as I join a job. However, the thought evaporated out of my mind amidst the busy and hectic work schedules, and gradually, I was another IT engineer entangled in the maze of coding, tea and night shifts.

There was a musical concert in our campus to celebrate the Annual Day of my organization, and a famous band had come to play. It took the stage on fire, with every member of the audience on their feet and chanting the rhythmic hymns.

The passion reignited within me. I too had to be a part of it.

Next day, I searched the net and found out the list of institutes and teachers that offer guitar courses in my locality. I called a few, and spoke with them. Finally, I met a person who struck to me as amiable and helpful, and soon a teacher – student bond grew between us. I wanted to learn the guitar pretty soon, and he told me to be calm and have patient, since this instrument is like meditation; one has to devote his full concentration on it to learn the nuances.

The first few days were tough, with bleeding fingers often urging me to take a few days rest. I was determined, though, and didn’t want to miss a single lesson. While in office, I ompleted my tasks soon, so that I could go home and practice. Thus, my eagerness in learning the guitar also had a positive impact on my work.

A few months later I moved to another city, partly because of work but mainly due to music. I had come to know that a few of my friends from college had started a music band in Delhi. I contacted them and told about my willingness to join. They were glad as they were looking for a guitarist too. The first few sessions were spent in finding the perfect pitch for a team play. It was a learning experience as I had never played in group before. My performances in a few local functions were solo, and thus, working as a team gave me a real high.

We penned down our own songs, and started working on them, in sync. We gave a few performances, which were appreciated, and are working harder to hone our skills. Some days are joyous, while there are off days too when I am not able to perform as per expectation. However, it’s all part of the learning curve. I have dreams for the future, revolving around music. The road is tough, but I have already made a start, and I am glad I took this step.

#StartANewLife, isn't that what living to the fullest is all about?

Find Your Fit With Van Heusen's My Fit

They say finding true selfless love is tough. I say finding a perfectly fitted shirt is tougher. Haven’t we all gone in and out of the trial rooms to find the shirt that complements our body as if it was manufactured for us, but alas, truth is bitter my friend. While some shirts betray us in length, others provide unnecessary width. Some shirts are too loose, others very tight. The same story is repeated in case of trousers, with the waist and height being the major parameters of concern. We eventually have to choose the least unsatisfactory piece, and be content with it. What should we do then? Can there ever be a time when shirts and trousers will complement our body structure?

The wait is finally over. Van Heusen’s latest introduction My Fit provides hordes of customizable options to alter the dimensions of your shirt and trouser as per your body type. Whether you are short or tall, fat or thin, you do not need to lose your sleep over finding the best fit for you. My Fit does it all.

And it’s easy too.

I decided to try out this feature and see if it really works as expected. I walked into a Van Heusen store and requested them to provide me with the My Fit measures as per my body size. Once I had them with me, I ordered a shirt and a pair of trousers from http://www.trendin.com/content/myfit-home-18 with those details.









The items were delivered to my doorstep within a few days, and trust me when I say this, I have never been more satisfied with the fittings of my garments than on that eventful day when I wore the shirt and trouser that had arrived. Both of them complimented my body type so well that it felt they were tailor – made for me. Of course, they were. The height was perfect, the length and width, the size and style, everything catered to my taste. Whatever I had ordered online, I now had the exact same objects with me, in the desired manner. The material used for clothing was smooth and comfortable. What else would you need?



The My Fit initiative by Van Heusen provides everyone with choices to design their clothes the way they want. Though My Fit is not a customization or a made-to-measure solution, despite it having a few customizable features, it is a solution which helps you find the perfectly fitted shirt and trouser. What you get from My Fit is that warm feeling of wearing something that is so much in sync with your own body. I didn't find anything to complain about. The final product left me pleased and happy, and I decided to go the My Fit way whenever I plan to buy shirts and trousers for me or for anyone. Everytime.

My Fit can be dubbed as a revolution in the clothing industry. This is a concept that we have often wished for, and now that it is finally here, we should make the best use of it. After all, Van Heusen as a brand is known to always take the right steps. This time too, it does the same, rewarding the trust of people and fulfilling their expectations.

This brand has always believed in constantly doing something new. Today the brand is on the cusp of unveiling yet another innovation - MYFIT - which addresses a deep rooted consumer need - the need to find the most perfect fitting garment irrespective of how one's bodytype is.

ABOUT THE IDEA – MYFIT
How often has it been that you have walked into an apparel store just to return empty handed because what you liked didn’t exactly fit you or wasn’t available in your size? How many times have you wished that you could alter just a bit of the design elements so that the garment truly reflects your own style?
Each one of us is unique - with different body types. Someone may have a paunch, someone may be shorter or someone may have a longer than usual arm length. For a long time, brands have treated consumers as a set of fixed fits and sizes. As a result, people who don't fall within these specified sets of sizes and fits have to live with the compromise of not finding their perfect fitting garment. Even people with regular body type have to live with the compromises of things not fitting to their taste.
Van Heusen MYFIT changes all that. It's an innovative solution that helps consumer break all these compromises and gives the power in their hands to find a garment that truly fits them - fits to their unique body or to their unique taste.
