The Art- Water Conservation- begins at Home!

It is quite evident and clear that water is one of our most precious resources. Considering that every single person on the planet needs water to survive, it seems strange that many of us would have no problem leaving the tap water running but we would go to war if someone tried to steal our oil supply. 

For the sake of your family and the survival of our future generations, it is important for we humans to conserve and find out innovative ways to preserve and conserve the best blessing on mankind, i.e water. LIVPURE has come as a positive initiative to guide the masses to pledge and take steps to prevent water wastage. Saving and conserving water for the present as well as future generations is the prime need. 

We can all begin by saving water at home, simple measures such as keeping taps of when brushing your teeth (which to our surprise and astonishingly can save up to 6 litres of water per minute!) and taking a shower over a bath will not only help us save money on our heavy water bills but will help ease the pressure on water resources across the globe. Home is where the art of conservation, preservation and protection begins, and holds true for the resource as important as water.

Having a glance on the global stage, efforts such as the Sustainable Development goals are aiming to bring together countries across the planet in a collective effort to achieve real progress by 2030, one of the goals of SDG's to conserve water resources and maintain quality of the clean and fresh water, keeping in mind the varied structure of the society. 

Some of the measures through which we can enhance water conservation are:

a) Improve education- Education is a great way to change the mindset of people and bring a great change in the attitude of individuals in the society. For example: Students can be made to learn to conserve water by organising competition to generate ideas.


b) Awareness-raising- Increasing awareness among the people through programmes and campaigns such as #CuttingPaani. The mediums used can vary from social media platform, social gatherings, meetings, competitions.


c) Human habits and behaviour- There can be rewards for the people who have been working towards the conservation techniques and promoting schemes and programmes for the welfare of the society at large. This comes as a great motivation source which would increase participation from the people. 


d) Institutional capacity on climate change mitigation- Climate change needs to be carefully looked upon, leading to change in the temperatures all over the world, which is drying up the water bodies, melting of ice-caps, polluting the water. Also the effluents from the industries discharged into the water bodies needs to be processed, separated and treated instead of discharging directly into the water.


e) Adaptation- Adapting to the changes in the environment needs to be adhered to, and measures must be taken to prevent the loss of natural resources, as they are finite and limited in their quantity. Positive attitude is must to adapt positive changes in the nature.


f) Impact reduction- Reducing the impact of pollution- air, water, and soil is must; as it is the prime source of disturbing the environment, and reduction in the natural sources. To reduce the impact it is important that handful of measures such as #CuttingPaani which help in increasing awareness among people to take simple measures which would prove beneficial to society at large.


g) Early warning- The government and other welfare organisations need to work towards warning people about the warning signs for the depletion and exhaustion of resources so that effective measures can be taken towards their conservation, preservation and protection.


If we were to travel to countries across the world we would find an extraordinary and inspiring amount of water conservation efforts, for instance conservation farming in rural communities in Malawi to help ease the burden on freshwater resources. It is very important to learn from the examples which have been set before us as it would ease the task of achievement of water conservation at large.

A lot of the news coming out at the moment about water resources makes for sobering reading, but efforts are underway across the globe and we are all capable of making a difference at home today, such as #CUTTINGPAANI, an amazing initiative by LIVPURE. Every drops we go onto save today, can be the oceans for tomorrow. Quite an example of the time when we feel thirsty, a drop of water gives those soothing pleasures to the mind and body, which cannot be compared to any luxury in the world.

Responsibly, responsible deal!

To the present times that we have come to live in, e-commerce and e-waste have become order of the day. Let us not be ignorant and irresponsible towards our duty of management of our resources well in an efficient manner. Collecting and dumping our own gadgets which are of no use for us but can be efficiently put to use by another individual or can be dumped in a scientific manner is the right kind of approach. Getting ourselves emotionally involved with the gadgets serves no purpose. I have come to make this point, because a lot of people find themselves attached more to the gadgets than to the reality and the experiences they can create.




It is important to make sure that we as individuals have our roles to play for our society and the environment that we live in, as these are the important elements that we would be passing on to the future generations and in order to leave a good legacy behind, we should pass it in the healthiest possible manner. One of the ways would be dumping our e-wastes properly and efficiently as they generate a lot of hazards which can be harmful for future generations.

To fulfill my this duty and responsibility, I make sure that I dump my electronics and gadgets in a proper manner. Either I sell my devices or ensure to hand them to institutes that dispose electronic wastes, whenever the gadget is no more in the working state and would be of no use for anyone.
To the best of my experiences and surprise, it used to be a hassle until I found CASHIFY to give away my gadgets and devices away. This has been one of the best platform which makes the process so much user- friendly, appropriate and convenient to use with lots of pros and benefits for the seller.

One of the prime concern being addressed by cashify is that of privacy which is not ensured at other platforms. Also the executives are helpful and carry out the whole process in a smooth and hassle- free manner. This is the first requirement of any client/ customer from the service provider.

It came as a pleasure recently to sell off my dell laptop at Cashify, where I had to simply create an account. Then I uploaded the product details, simply answered the queries asked on the page related to the product, and the price was quoted at the end. Upon agreement, there was a Cashify agent at the doorstep, who carried out the inspection of the laptop as per the details provided by me. The agent was satisfied and found the details to match according to the mentioned online on the account. The agent handed over the cash immediately and carried away the laptop with him. The whole process was easy and comprehensive where I did not have to take the load of unwarranted questions, denials, enquiries amongst a lot of hassle that one has to go through to sell out the old product. This is a good way to #CleanUpCashOut.

Cashify to the best has atleast made my life simpler and easier to a lot extent as I could get rid of my unwanted laptop which I was no longer using. Also, after the laptop's deal, I could find a good deal for my old tampered phone as well. Overall, the experience with cashify has been magnificent and great that I would recommend anyone to try and go with it without having to waste time at any other platform. With the mantra of #SellingSimplied, Cashify has really made the selling simplified in lots of ways possible.

The Memories Carved at The Lalit Grand Palace, Srinagar!

We wanderers, ever seeking the lonelier way, begin no day where we have ended another day; and no sunrise finds us where sunset left us. Even while the earth sleeps we travel. We are the seeds of the tenacious plant, and it is in our ripeness and our fullness of heart that we are given to the wind and are scattered. Once a person has traveled, the voyage never ends, but is played out over and over again in the quietest chambers. The mind can never break off from the journey. It was such an amazing experience that I had this time at Srinagar which multiplied several times when I booked my stay at "The Lalit Grand Palace- Srinagar". It was an experience in itself taking myself to behold the beauty of such a beautiful place for forever. 
The best highlight of my stay at such an amazing property was the hospitality that I received at this grandeur, which left me mesmerised beyond my expectations in such a way that I was looked after so well. The dining has been a wonderful experience in itself and the staff is extremely hospitable. The rooms at this property are beautifully done with the pleasant decors. The hotel is at a walking distance from the serene Dal Lake. What would one ask for more in life when one can walk down to Dal lake from the place of stay. I do not remember the amount of time I spent at this beauty giving one of the most cherished experiences of life. 
The apple orchard and the flower gardens are beautiful beyond imagination. The rooms are lit so beautifully that would take the mind to travel down and make beautiful memories with this place for ever and ever. The staff has been amazingly courteous and helpful with food quality and the varieties being exotic and spellbound. 
One of the best memory has been the picturesque locale, especially the time at the coffee shop overlooking the flowing river with sipping a cup of coffee with the pleasant surprise of goodies like the Trimasu had been greatly appealing and appetising both to the senses and the taste buds after the amazing walk through the place. One great addition had been the gift shop at the hotel which had curated gifts and souvenir books. I could get hold on a lot of things which I brought as beautiful gatherings and gifts for myself, family and friends.
The experience has been much like heaven in heaven on Earth in the truest sense of the terms.

Awesomeness with the Redi-Go

In the times that we all have come to live, the foremost choices of any individual are the fun, freedom, and confidence. These are the best luxuries any individual aims at in one's life. Nissan does a wonderful job by coming up with the offering of all these delights ready into it's DATSUN REDI-GO. The car has a lot to offer on its plate. When we come to talk about any motor vehicle, the first thing that comes to our mind is the fuel efficiency and the average the car has to offer. In this regard, Redi-GO has beaten all its competitors giving an amazing average of 25.7 kilometres per litre . Nothing would sound amazing for an Indian to go around for this car and owe it for the rough and tough use for oneself. Also, The car has a strong built with the amazingly designed interiors and the exteriors. 
In India I would love to take this car to Shimla with my family and would love to go around and explore the place with the compactness that it has to offer in the comfort segment. It would be a delight to go up and down around the hills and exploring the place with the family would be great fun. I would love to test it for the efficiency values that it promises to offer. The family trip is the best way to go around in the car and look forward to the comfort that it promises to offer. The features that I would look around in a car would be the designing of the car and the luxuries according to the price set by the brand, and in this respect REDI-GO is the best car out in the market. This is a luxury car with comfortable seatings as promised by the brand and seems quite promising on this front.
The driving blues in the urban areas are the biggest fights and the engine efficiency is the biggest and foremost question. With the efficiencies on board for this vehicle I would love to go for it to beat the blues that I face in my day to day life like the one's in the heavy traffic, the comfort of the wheels of the car, the seating in the car. Also, the turning radius of the car is amazing and turns around well offering the ease of parking in the least amount of space available with the crowding of the vehicles in the lanes all around, this would be a great relief. 
This car seems to be promising and amazing enough to take away the urban blues with the best of the offerings of crossover with the hatchback blended well into the REDI-GO. This is a ready to go car for any Indian family who needs ready to move on car with lots of amazing features at the best price. It would be great to have this car and I would be looking forward to it after having a discussion with my family to owe this wonderful piece with amazing features at a fair price.



Fun. Freedom. Confidence. The ultimate Urban Cross - Datsun redi-GO - the capability of a crossover with the convenience of a hatchback.

The Golden Mornings

 Mornings are the best part of the day as far as my mornings are concerned with me and my next day is planned before I sleep the previous day and thus, this gives me an insight to the beginning of the new day and I get up with the plans already made for the day. This saves in a lot of time and marks the beginning of the day in a pleasant and smooth manner. 

Well, the best way that I have come to transform my good mornings into gold mornings is by getting up early in the morning. Following it up with a stroll in the garden and freshening up myself. This is a great way to pamper my body with the fresh air of the morning breeze. The freshness of the breeze decodes the rest of the day. It keeps me in high spirits, valour and vigour. The energy levels remain high with this way of life.
The next amazing way to turn my good mornings into gold mornings is to begin my day with the use of "Colgate 360 Charcoal Gold toothbrush" giving the pleasure of  #Colgate360GoldMornings and later set out myself in garden with a green tea- pot ready along with the news paper in the hands, with light instrumental music playing in the background. Well, this goes on up to next two to three hours and my morning is one of the well spent one with paper, music and tea. There could be no better source of delight for me than this. This serves as a pure source of joy and bliss and a great start to the day. 
My next proceeding after this bliss is a visit to the temple and offer prayers. Over time this has made me achieve peace and patience in life which has helped me to over come difficulties and also gave me strength to face challenges of life in a brave manner. These little tasks into the morning make for a great day and present the sense of happiness and accomplishment in day to day life.
With the onset of the morning, I know that I am already in the heroic age of some filmy era. There is something really cosmical about the morning; carrying with it the everlasting vigour and fertility of all the things around an individual. The morning, is definitely the most memorable season of the day, is the awakening hour.
 
Mornings are the best part of the day as they are the beginning of the day that is before us and thus, it is the individual's mindset that would take the lead as to how the day would be carried forward.

The skyscrapper city - GURGAON! #MadeOfGreat

#MadeOfGreat
Henceforth when we come to talk of the greatest cities in the times to which we have come to live and survive, and the civilisations, the crisis of urbanism is all the more concretely a economic, cultural, social and political one, even though in the present and current times, i.e to this day no force born of traditional politics comes to survive the society at large and cannot stand the recent trades. The city has seen huge developments from the village level to the highest level of urban societies. The sky- scrappers across the city are well developed and spread giving space to several mullti- national companies, schools, colleges, international ranking institutes, hospitals, and several housing colonies. The youth has come largely to find its way across the mainland of the city. The city has seen huge developmental accords and is now serving as the best model on the developmental grounds and the modernisation. The city has seen organisational development, with international standards, giving space for the growth of entire nation at large.
With my current association with the Gurgaon city, lying to the south of the National Capital Territory Delhi, with once a small dusty industrial village, now it is one of the fastest growing cities in the country witnessing rapid urbanisation, the leading financial and industrial hub with highest per capita income city in the country. The level of growth of the city is eye- catching luring people from different parts of the country and world.
DESIGN: Gurgaon has largely developed and is an house which inhabits architecturally noteworthy buildings in the country in amazing styles of development coming up with architectures from the recent times. It is great pleasure to see this city develop from the mere village to a world class city portrayed on the maps gracefully. The city has largely seen the development on the grounds of modern planning and infrastructure is highly maintained on the grounds of quality and quantity. The city is divided into wards and blocks which makes it easy for the committee and the organisations to look after them and give them proper path and direction of development in the modern times. The housing, companies, apartments are all on a rise inthis modern city. 
DRIVE: The driving through the city is quite tedious in the morning and evening hours due to the office timings. The roads see slow moving traffic but due to well developed roads and infrastructure throughout the city, it sails across fine, while testing the patience of the travellers, residents, working class across the city. The city has been a host to several programs, cultural themes, plots and plays, family gathering grounds, halls, etc which are spacious and well planned to carry the programmes graciously.
CONNECT: The city has its well developed metro system. Bus services are also provided and the connectivity is highly developed. Private cabs, vans and autos ply throughout the city for easy commutation. The expressway of 27 kms lays into this city which is a six laned road. The railways also provide a great service connecting the city to other major cities in the country such Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, etc. It has an International Airport known IGIA, which is the busiest airport in the country providing the domestic and international connectivity.
With little short comings of the city related to the power coverages and traffic burdens, no one can prevent oneself from falling into the love trap for this city.
