Building Fantastico Nation

India is a land of colors and has an enigma associated with her. When people listen to the word India they start to picture something out of this world. They picture colors, Bollywood, Appu from Simpsons, Gandhi and a lot of other things. One of those things about which they picture is the backwardness. They picture the same India as has been shown in Slumdog Millionaire.

People picture cows on roads and litter everywhere. They picture poverty and inhabitable human conditions. I will not put blame on the Hollywood for creating that picture of India because if you go out of your house you would see the roads littered. You would notice that people are sitting on the road begging for their livelihood. It is not something that Hollywood has created but it is a reality. We have holy cows sitting on the road and blocking traffic.

India has a lot of potential and has been reiterated numerous times not just on the national stage but on various international platforms by international personalities. To come out of that Image of backward third world country we need to work hard. We are working hard and have shown improvement but it is not just enough. We got to keep on working on our weak areas. We got to get out of our comfort zone and experiment for the betterment of the nation.

Nation is made of its citizens. When people will starts to stand for their rights and perform their duties that is the time the wheels of growth for a nation starts to churn. If we become serious and start to put in efforts to bring the positive change in the society then there is nothing that can stop our nation from waking to up to a better tomorrow.

Everyone knows what Indians are capable of and how fantastic they are. Time and again India and Indians have proved their mettle on the world stage. To become great we need effort from not just one but from everyone. There was a famous dialogue from the movie “No nation is perfect, we got to make it perfect”. We got to work on that philosophy.

Our nation is great and fantastic. We are example of tolerance and have rich culture. We are leaders in the world of spirituality and make individuals healthy with our Yoga. We are known for smartness all around the world. If we would employ our talent and smartness for building our nation how fantastic we can become.


The road to become a fantastico nation is not easy but it is also not impossible for us to become a great inspiring nation. Take a pledge that you will do your part and would not deter from performing your duties. We will do it for our nation and for ourselves. Let’s make this nation a fantastico nation.

Impact Of Teachers

Ravi was a shy and average student in class. He was not only average in studies but in other departments too. He was okay in sports, co-curricular and academics. He lacked in one thing which was expressing him. He did not have any opinion. He seemed kind of lost in the small world that he built. When he would go out with friends he will open up a little but not much.

He never volunteered for anything and also never did he say no to the responsibility given to him. Whatever job given to him, he will surely be complete it without any issues. Even if he wouldn’t want to do something and you assign that task to him he would sit down and start doing it without any complaint.

He was a different person all together. You can make fun of him and he would just smile politely and would reply sometime without much of humor. One day there was a test in class and he forgot that and scored 2 marks out of 10. He was mocked for his marks but it did not bother him. Although the test was very simple, he did not care much about the marks. He was the only one to fail in that test.

The subject teacher asked if anyone failed in the test and he stood up. Teacher got infuriated and insulted him in front of the whole class. His teacher said he was nothing but a burden for the society and would never achieve anything. That particular sentence of his teacher hurt him. He did not say a word and accepted whatever teacher said. After that day he dived into books and in the final exam he was in the top 10 scoring students.

He indulged in sports and excelled there. He was selected for intra school team for volleyball. He continued to work hard in studies and secured ranks in tests. Even in the surprise tests he would do great. He was still polite and good to others. He would accept anything you tell him and would always be there for you.

His results not only in academics but in curricular showed that he has changed. His classmates started approaching him for doubts and he would solve them without any attitude. He worked his way up the ladder and continued to impress individuals with his marks, sports and most importantly his nature. It was actually his teacher that brought that change in him.

Teachers no matter how tough are will always set you straight. They are the ones who guide you and inspire you. They might not put arm around your shoulder and advise you but they will somehow make sure you understand the importance of life.

Impact of teacher is not only on individuals but on the society. It was just story of Ravi but there are many Ravi who make up the society and there will always be teachers behind Ravi.

50th Blog Post- Impact Of Blogging

Source

The much awaited feat for my blog has arrived. This is 50th blog post and it feels great and awesome to me. It feels as if I have achieved something. This blog post makes me feel confident about myself. It is that point where I feel a little transformed when it comes to writing. I never thought I would reach this figure of 50 blog posts. I never even thought I will be able to keep my blog alive. It is that milestone from where I can proudly say that I am a blogger although lesser known.

There was a time in my life I used to write for myself and never thought of turning to blog and sharing those thoughts and ideas with others. With support from other bloggers and constant motivation they provided I was able to achieve this feat.

During this journey one moment was very distinct from others and that moment was when I registered on Indiblogger. I heard about this website from someone close and started blogging. I will be very open about my writing in this blog. If you would have noticed my blog and different blog posts then you will mainly see posts related to contests or for advertizing. There are very few posts that I have written without any greed. These posts made me realize that even I can write. It gave me new dimension to think and write.

You might have noticed that my blog has no niche skill and no visitors or subscribers as such and one of main reasons for it is the greed. I wouldn’t advise anyone to indulge into anything just because of greed but for me it was a blessing in disguise. I wrote blogs mainly for competitions now I am stung. I have enjoyed writing but now with blog I have got a platform to express myself.

I love the freedom and now I will blog more often about the stuff that appeal to me apart from the competitions. I will devote more time and spend more of my time to indulge in thing that I love a lot which is writing. I will still stick to the same style of blogging, which is random. I will write about the things I want to and would share my views on various subjects. I will dwell under a roof of niche but will continue to spread my views, thoughts, ideas and my takes on various aspects of life or about anything.

I will write about the things I feel about and will make myself and my views visible to others. I will embrace the freedom and will fly with pen between my fingers in the world of writing. Blogging has had a huge impact on me and I will not quit on this for any cost.

Navigate To Happiness

Source

Today I saw her sail out of my life. She went far and her appearance started getting small on the horizon and then suddenly she disappeared over the horizon of future. I wait here to have one more glimpse of her. With every wave touching my feet I can feel her. I can feel her presence in the water. The water in the sea holds still for a moment and stares at me and then breaks his gaze into a huge tide and drenches me on the shore and mocks me. But he does not know that when his water hits me I feel presence of her over my body.

I walk on the shore then stop and look over the horizon to see something moving, in a hope that it is she coming back to me but it is not she but someone else. I see her struggle to with the waves, I see her disappear and reappear over the back drop of blue skies. I see her come closer but still struggling with the sea but she somehow fights it out and come closer with every wave.

She navigates through the hard waters and opposite winds, she gets pushed to the horizon but she stays in sight. She tries different routes, different strategies to navigate to the shore but tides are also determined. Now it has become a game where she is trying to reach the shore but sea is also not backing down.

It starts to rain and the sea laughs and roars. He mocks her courage and thumps her with a huge wave but after spending so much time with the sea she has also learned how to navigate out of his blows. He strikes again and but she dodges him. With every dodge she comes closer to the shore. Her face becomes clearer as she comes closer to the shore and I can see she is not the one who left me at the shore.

At last she navigates to the shore and suddenly sea becomes calmer. She gets out of her boat and steps on the shore and that is the moment I stop to feel her presence in the water touching my feet. I turn to her and she smiles. I ask but you are not her to which she says, you were feeling my presence in the sea all this time. She said when she left you at the shore I entered the sea from other side of the horizon. You could see her but you were feeling my presence in the waters.

You wanted to stick to the past and memories that is why you felt as if you were feeling her but it was me your future whom you were feeling. I am the happiness that you have been long waiting for. I fought the harsh sea and navigated through unfavorable winds to get to you.

Her words were enough to make me realize and I accepted her and we sailed through the sea called life hand in hand.

Impact Of Net Neutrality

Internet is a very important part of life. Since its advent it has grown and our understanding of this wonderful innovation has also grown. With internet now individuals can voice their opinion and make a change. Internet has made live of individuals easier and not only that, it has created new jobs, made individuals open to the whole world. Internet has really made the world feel small. It does not cater a particular group of individuals but it caters masses. With internet you can indulge in the activities you like.

But now internet is under a danger. It has come under the radar of those business houses whose sole aim to make profit out of everything. They are now planning to kill the feature which made internet what it is today. Those individuals are planning to kill to the openness that internet offers to its users. They don’t want internet to remain as a sacred medium but want to spoil it with their filth.

There was buzz about the term some time ago on the news and even on the internet about something called net neutrality. Net neutrality is about treating each website or web service as same to others. Service providers were planning to charge differently for different web services and different web applications. That means that if you want to use whatsapp then you need to buy a different data pack other than your net pack, in the same way if you want to use Facebook then you need to buy other data pack for social networking sites or especially Facebook.

Such kind of special tariffs for different web services makes the internet biased. Net neutrality means that all the services should be treated equally. You might have heard of the term free basics on Facebook. It shows that basic version of internet will be provided to people of all classes to India. It might sound nice but the devil lies in the detail. By supporting this initiative we are agreeing to the fact that a separate internet should be created that would be run by Facebook. Internet owned by Facebook. Do you think then will Facebook allow other social networking site to come into the market. This would kill the competition and you only have access to the select sites whom Facebook allows.

There was also a deal that was going to take place between a service provider and an e-commerce website. The deal was that the service provider would load that particular e-commerce giant’s website or app quickly. That means no neutrality and a biased edge to that particular website over other. Will that be fair to those firms who don’t have deep pockets to buy this service from the service providers?

A lot of things have been written about the net neutrality and you can have access to the material by searching it over our open internet. I guess the impact of net neutrality has been properly showcased in this blog. You can refer net for more information.

Impactful AIB And TVF


AIB and TVF are the crusaders of the internet entertainment. They have helped individuals in realizing the potential of internet and how it is truly a sacred platform for the freedom of expression. They have paved way for many and it is not just by a stroke of luck but by their determination and hard work they had put in their work for the entertainment of others.

When we see the content of both entertainment channels i.e. AIB and TVF it feels refreshing and the reason for that is the originality and a hint of reality. Their jokes are work of art. In their acts emphasize is given on the overall aspect of a joke i.e. how it should be said and how to be acted on it. Their videos show how subtly they pick up their subject and how much they work on the writing and execution aspect of it.

They had great impact on individuals and their thought process. When we watch the videos posted by them it feels appealing because it is more of less related to the way we carry ourselves in our lives. For an instance let us take the example of the video which deals with the stuff that engineers say and do. Well that is true and also a little exaggerated. That is the beauty of their videos; they pick up minutiae and make them impressive.

The honest series by AIB is also one of the fine examples of their observation. It is not politically correct but yet so correct. There are various layers in different customs and rituals but they use those layers of conversations as jokes. They point out the hypocrite that lives inside all of us and yet we don’t feel offended.

They are the leaders of the freedom of expression. They don’t abuse the freedom but stop others from doing it. They also deliberately make the individuals aware about their abilities and hold the mirror in front of them.

A recent video about net neutrality by AIB shows that these guys are not just about cuss and profanity but are also among those who stand for the right. They are the ones who take step for you and arm you to make the change. They created the buzz for net neutrality and made it into a movement.

In the same way they also gave individuals confidence that anything is possible and why it is rewarding to follow your dreams. They showed the real power of internet to individuals and how you can use that power to make something out of you. They taught individuals on how to use the platform to express and do what you like.

They have impacted the youth and society in a real profound way. They proved that today’s generation is not just about Honey Singh, booze and party all night. Today’s generation is ready to make change and is determined to bring the change. With their hard work they showed that this generation will not sit quietly but bring change.

They are the walking with torch of change and impacting many with that.

Fantastico Four

Source

Fantastico four is four things that I think of when I hear the word fantastico.

Pets-
I just cannot resist myself from pets. I just find them too adorable. They are part of family and there is no small reason for it. With their innocence they make you fall in love with them. They would love you no matter who you are. They will always be there for you and would not leave your side even if you would leave theirs. They can sense when you are alright or when you need someone. They are just darlings. Being an animal lover and have had pets in the past I can say without hesitation of any kind that pets for sure are fantastico beings for me.

Travel-
I cannot say I have travelled a lot but I have had my bit of share when it comes to travel experience. As people say the fun lies in the journey not in reaching the destination and how true is that sentence. It is fantastic to go and explore new places and knowing individuals who do not have some ideology as yours and blending in with their culture. Travel is like life in a nutshell. It is exciting and enticing to go into the unknown. You feel free, break all the shackles and breath in the new city to a new life with a new you within.

Food-
Many consider food like an object but for me food is an experience. There are people who eat to live while there are few who live to eat; I belong to the latter category. Digging into new dishes and sitting with anticipation to taste the new dish that you have just ordered and satiating your taste buds with it. That experience, that feeling is something just truly fantastic for me. I love to cook and love to experiment a little in my kitchen on weekends. It is exciting taking a bite and experience flavors unveiling themselves one after the other in your mouth.

Introspect-
We all need time for ourselves and sitting down and talking to myself is something that I love to do. It is something that gives me peace. It sets me straight and helps me focus on being what I am. It helps me emotionally, it makes me stable. There are times when I want nothing but some time to be with myself. It is therapeutic to spend time with yourself. It has helped me a lot in lot of situations because there is no one else in this world who knows you better than you yourself.

There are still many things that are fantastic to me, would share them with you some other time in a new post.

She Is My Music

Source

She was one heck of a girl for me. She was there when I needed someone most in my life. She understands me and me respects me for what I am. If you have a partner who understands you, respects you, trusts you and pledges to be with you whatever the situation is then I bet you my friend, you got a keeper.

It was December and that was when I first heard the music, the music of love. It was so complicated and yet so neat. It seemed as if I am listening to the most perfect note of my life. She was the melody that I would play all my life.

I have seen my friends getting in relationship and ruining precious years of their lives. They misunderstand the alarm of danger to music of life. Through her, life speaks to you and for me it was not just speaking to me, it was singing to me. I knew that chords have been struck and song has been made for life.

It is not that we had never hit wrong notes in life. There were times when we got stuck in some really gross situations. But whenever we got stuck or felt unsure, we searched for the right notes. We realigned our lives and realigned ourselves to come out better and stronger then we were.

Like how music can help you distress you and make you forget everything the same way she made me forget all my worries, disappointments. She just like music guided my mood. She became reflection of my emotions and I became hers. We liked not only each other’s company, each other’s words but we liked each other’s silence too. We both knew what we valued and our conversations helped us in knowing each other better. We disagree and debate but we never disapprove each other’s right to have an opinion. We respect each other’s views.

 I know there was a time when we reached to the point as if we were going to break apart but then something magical happened. She called me and started reading a letter that I sent her whiles we were only two months old in the relationship. I listened to her and as the letter finished we disconnected calls from our end and did not speak for two straight days and then came the third day. There it was she and me sitting face to face at favorite table in a local coffee shop with the same pastry and same coffee that we ordered when we first visited that place.

When I look back, I notice how far we have come and how smoothly those years have gone past. The life was playing with a perfect soothe background music and we walked together the whole time hand in hand.


She is the music of my life and a song that I hum all the time.

A Positive Impact

Source

What it is like to get out of your normal routine life and having impact on someone’s life? Is it something too much to ask for from someone? I guess we all are capable of doing something good and motivate individuals.

There are many incidents in life that make us what we are today. We as human beings constantly learn from situations and people. This attitude to attitude is embedded deep into our genes. This hunger to learn has what made us successful and helped us survive ages while many other beings perished. I just feel that whenever someone learns from me they shouldn’t regret that.

Whenever you walk out of the door you should keep one thing in mind that there is someone who is watching you and you should motivate him/her with your actions. If you are having an impact on someone’s life it is better to make it a good one.

When you walk on the road and see a person help other, it fills your heart with happiness. It motivates you indulge in the same act. What it is about that action that motivates you? Do you know name of those individuals? How those strangers are having impact on you? We as human beings are here to help not just other human beings but all living beings.

I was going through job training in Mysore for the IT Company I am working in and there was my one friend from whom I learned how to be happy. He was a hard working and jovial. He couldn’t pass the training and got terminated but still he remained calm. I know he was upset and disappointed but the way he handled himself and presented it to others, gave hope to others too who got terminated. It was because of him that everyone who got terminated picked up themselves. He was having impact on life of so many individuals although he was clueless about his.

He was not doing it intentionally and never did he imagine that he was having impact on so many lives at the same time. I guess till date he does not know that he has impacted or have changed ideologies of many. He has brought positive change in all of us and made us all believe that how imperative it is to be positive.

There will be many times in life when you would be having impact on someone’s life and will not know about it. Next time when you act or react keep in mind that there is someone who is watching you and you are having an impact on his life. Always make efforts that whatever the impact you have on someone’s life make it a positive one.

Travel And Explore

Source

Are you among those who love to travel? If yes then this blog is dedicated to you. Traveling is one of those things in life that can truly be referred as fantastico experience. The reason for it has been reiterated not once but many a times but I guess it would be worth reiterating the same through this blog.

Have you ever watched those movies where the protagonist loves to travel or is an avid traveler? How you have felt about that? Does it inspire you to go out of your house and explore the whole world? It does inspire me. Travel is one thing that has always interested me since I was a kid. I haven’t visited many places but I can say one thing for sure that I love it when I travel.

When I travel I feel the momentum of time. I feel as if I am strolling with time at its speed. When I travel I can think about my life and think straight. From the time I board my bus to the time I alight, I can think of all things that have happened in my life and those thoughts are nothing but fantastico for me.

When you travel to a new place you learn a lot. When I say about learning it is not just about learning about a new place or new culture or new people but it is more related to learning about you. The way you respond to the newness or the way you respond to the lifestyle of the new place helps you develop a better understanding of yourself.

I have often heard this statement that individuals who have travelled a lot are more experienced and mature in most cases. It is something that I cannot generalize for everyone but I support the fact that individuals who have travelled more are more ready for life.

What makes those individuals so ready for life? It is the courage to accept change and getting accustomed to it. Wind blowing across your face as you sits next to the window seat in a bus or hot tea at 2:00 AM on deserted railway platform, travel has its own fantastic memories. One of the main reasons why travelling is fantastic is because of the memories that are created. These memories are way different from the ones that you have in your life.

I often planned to explore new places around and out of city to get to know about surroundings in a better way. For me exploring and travelling is something that everyone should indulge in. It makes you feel confident and independent. Traveling is fantastic and awesome in all the aspects.

When I first travelled alone to Mysore I was a little scared but now when I look back, I can without hesitation say that it was one of the finest memories that I have. From then on I have visited few places and with every trip I became a lot more confident and aware.

Travel little and explore a lot. Don’t miss the fantastico experience.

Impact- A Ripple Effect

Source

We all are created to do something. That something can be really anything. It can be leading the nation by being the Prime Minister or it can be being a sweeper and making society cleaner. But what is important part of life is doing something not for the sake of yourself but also for others. It is about having the positive impact on life of others.
From ages we have been hearing this phrase “Human beings are social animals”. What does the term social refers to in this phrase. Is it something like living in a group or having get together or throwing parties or is it something else?
Being social does not really mean having X number of friends or having Y number of friends on Facebook. It is more about having positive impact on life of others. It is more or less related to working for the betterment of yourself along with the society. If human beings would have kept all the knowledge they got to themselves then what the world would have been like. I guess who would have never come to know of the fact that earth is round and also we wouldn’t have been able to identify ourselves too.
I have a friend who, who once told me a story about making the difference and having positive impact on someone’s life. There was a person who used to live in his neighborhood and sweep his parking space and also the road in front of his house. He was mocked by few in the starting but eventually the whole neighborhood joined hands and swept the road daily. The whole society was cleaning the roads, making it one of cleanest societies of the city.
That person did not require great effort or a lot of resources. He indulged in the activity he felt right about and eventually everyone started following him. There is one term that I have used quite often in this blog, which is “positive impact”. Having impact on others life can be anything from good to bad, what is important is that a person should work on having positive impacts on other’s life.
That action can be as simple as planting a small tree or adopting a stray dog or giving free lectures. It can be anything under the sun. As people say a good deed is like a ripple effect. No deed done with good intention is big or small. Get out of your house and pick a banana peel from road and trash it in dustbin, which is also a good deed.
There is so much in life that you can do. It don’t always need a great mansion or good bank balance to do well to others. No one is asking you to give away yourself for others but it is the thought that counts. Spreading the awareness about something also a good deed. If you feel like indulging in a good deed and having positive impact on someone’s life after reading this blog then I would feel that I have also done something that had positive impact.

Navigate With Courage

Source

Have you ever been stuck in a situation where you cannot think of any way to get out of it? That feeling of being helpless and being stuck is really frustrating. When you feel as if you are going nowhere and the whole world seem to be passing by you and you just stand there and watch everyone get ahead. Have you wondered how a sailor would have felt when he gets lost in the ocean and all he can see is the emptiness all around him. For him feeling blue becomes reality in a literal sense. In the vastness of sea and emptiness of it, how small and trivial he feels.

Imagine you getting stuck on an island for few days and all you can think of is finding a way out of it but not finding it and you can see the days passing and the whole world moving forward except for you. That is when you need to muster courage and navigate through the unknown. If you look at the sea, you would see nothing but the blue vastness extending to infinity but those who navigated through those waters know that there is land on the other side of it. They were the one who navigated their ships into the unknown.

Everyone is afraid of something and everyone hesitates to take that first step but some day to know what lies on the other side of horizon you got take out your boat and start navigating into the waters and have to keep in mind that waters will not be forgiving and they would push to the limit and test you. The moment you start to accept the defeat is the moment the blue waters will become your destiny, the destiny you have not asked for. When the journey becomes your destination that is when you feel stuck because it is not something you wanted.

Always remember you set out for land and you would settle for no less but land. You will reach there because you have fought waters and have always kept it under your boat.

Navigation is a skill. It is the skill to be able to think straight while life is in spirals. You are responsible for your actions and no one will row you out of ocean. You got to pick up that oar and start rowing towards the land. Even if you can’t see the land, you must have faith in you. If you feel like getting stuck, you got to work on your navigating skills.

Navigating is just like navigating in seas. You have to know your coordinates and also know the capabilities of your boat. Once you know about these aspects, there is no one stopping you from reaching the coast.

Chaotic Peace

When you ask someone where they love to drive, one of the most answers that you get is about the place which has broad roads or scenic beauty. It is more or less related to pleasure for eyes and ease of driving. Even I like riding/driving on broad deserted roads where there is plenty of picturesque stuff to look at but if you would ask me which city I love drive in then it would be my city Indore.

People often say that if you can drive in Rajwada then you can drive anywhere and even I agree to that. When you drive through the city, you would only see chaos. People are busy, traffic is jam packed, vehicles breathing down each other’s neck, continuous honking and all that happening at the same time. Just five minutes in traffic can easily stress you out but traffic is the beauty of driving in Indore. All the things happening are in perfect harmony. Whether it is rumbling of engines or honking of cars, they seem to create a music of their own. You would see a cart puller trying to make his way to the other side of the road while a cyclist trying to spear head through the traffic. You just have to come out of the traffic and look at it with a different perspective. So much happening and so many lives getting connected to each other at that very moment. You can see many lives playing right in front of you.

It is just not traffic that Indore roads offer you. There are some great broad roads where you can have fun driving your car in peace. MR10 will serve as the best place for that. You can also steer towards Agra-Bombay road, if you like driving on national highways. People in Indore are also helpful. And if you want to do a little networking then you can easily find individuals ready to discuss about anything under the sun. One thing that every Indore dweller has is opinion and they will not hesitate in sharing that with you. They love to talk and same is applicable to listening. You can connect with individuals in an instant. If you are talking about Indore then how can you not talk about its awesome tasting food? If you are among those who love to eat, then you would find an instant connect with Indore and people of Indore.
Indore might appear as a city full of chaos but the way Indore carries that chaos elegantly is because of its fine design and its impeccable infrastructure.

Together To A Far Land




Source
 Swapna used to sit in first row, in college. A serious, studious kind of girl. A perfect example of front bencher. She was a women of few phrase. Never spoke much to anyone and never did anyone tried to infiltrate into her little perfect world of silence. She was also our class representative. Few semesters passed and she still remained a mystery that no one wanted to pay attention to.

It was seventh semester of my engineering. We were approaching end of semester. She used to live close to my house and we traveled in the same college bus. As my attendance was short for the semester, I had to attend college every day, while everyone was busy with their exam preparations and project work. She also used to come to class despite of having very good attendance. Only few students used to come to attend the class.

I used to ask her for help and she would happily respond. She would help me in learning the concepts and even clear the silliest of my doubts. We soon became good friends and would go to college together. Then exams came and on the days of exam too, she would help me and share the topics that were important as per her. I got a pretty decent score in that semester.

It was our final semester and many of us were desperately looking for a job, few were planning for further studies, while few were planning to join their parental business. Swapna and I used to look for jobs and placement related events. We went to a lot of placement events, in many of which we got placed but the jobs were too less paying or wasn’t at all related to our field i.e. engineering. Finally the diligence paid off. We both got jobs in good companies with a decent pay.

We completed our engineering. The four years of fun came to an end and now we were out there in the unknown world.  Before leaving for my posted location I met my friends and Swapna. When I met her she had tears in her eyes. I asked what happened. “We are not going to meet again, right?” She said. “We will surely meet”, I said. “Why we can’t always be together, do we need to separate? We are two different individuals but see how perfect we are together. Look at that rose, will it be that beautiful, if it is not going to have those thorns. If they can be together, why can’t we be? “ I just hugged her and we stayed that way for few minutes. We were now officially in a relationship.

For initial months, the conversations were full of love and we enjoyed this new found love between us. We enjoyed our little fights but would sort it out soon. As months passed by our fights got intense and romance got thrown out of the window. We both got busy in our lives and job and were not able to give proper time to our relationship. Whenever we talked, we only fought. Nothing seemed right and the relationship seemed nothing but a mistake.

It was until my college friends came with a plan of trip cum get together. We all needed time for ourselves to get out of the boring routine of corporate life. We went to a place called Harishareshwar beach, close to Pune. The beach was not crowded and water was clean. There were few more beaches there like Diveagar, Shreevardhan. Their beauty was just impeccable.

At night Swapna and I went for a stroll on the beach. We talked, laughed, pulled each other’s leg and it all seemed as if we never had any fights. It seemed like a perfect relationship. It was full moon, we looked into each other’s eyes and we both knew, we have found our moment of togetherness.
I just hugged her and haven’t let her go since then. It’s been 5 years and we celebrate our togetherness every day. Every year we go to some natural place where we can enjoy each other’s company in lap of nature without any shackles of the digital world and celebrate our togetherness.

Quikr Nxt, Just Text


Via- https://www.indiblogger.in/happyhours/quikr-nxt/#submission_requirements
I am moving to a new city next month and looking for accommodation in my budget. I looked at various websites and selected few of the flats and PGs but nothing fit in my budget and the prerequisites of the accommodation.  I turned to the website which I had only used to sell my old phone and buy a second hand guitar. The website served me well in selling and buying the used stuff. This was the first time I was using Quikr to look for accommodation.

I posted an advertisement for the need and also picked few of the flat and PG advertisements from the site. I did not want to be disturbed by the phone calls and useless broker calls and that is when the chat feature provided by Quikr came to my rescue. This feature helped me a lot in various ways and was very advantageous for me.

Saves Money

As I am unemployed and going to join a company next month and I did not want to spend my invaluable balance on the unfruitful calls. With the chat feature I could get information about the flats and PGs without wasting even a single penny. It helped me in filtering the advertisements I was interested in.

Easy To Keep Track Of Conversations

Phone calls from the same caller again and again for the same specifications were quite irritating but with the chat feature that Quikr provides, one can easily keep track of all the conversations. This has helped me selecting the most appropriate accommodation for me. Even the advertisements with pretty much same name also confused me and with the conversation history I could filter them easily without getting confused.

Multiple Chats

I could chat and keep track of multiple conversations at once. Each time I got reply from an individual who posted the advertisement, I got a mail and SMS. I was able to respond to multiple advertisements and could post query on multiple advertisements at once. It also helped me save time because the time I would have spent on one advertisement for phone conversation was enough to connect to multiple advertisers.

The chat feature has helped me in narrowing down my search to the few PGs and flats. It has helped me save time and money at the same time. I just have to reach the city 2 days in advance and select the accommodation that would appeal most to me on that day. I love the way this website has transformed the market and made it easy for users like me. I can use this feature on the mobile site, desktop site and even on the app. As I would be in the new city and the mobile internet would be the only net connection that I would be having, the ability to use this feature on mobile is a sure treat for me.
