5 Must Drinks For A Healthy LifeStyle

Healthy Lifestyle is all what we talk about and want to adapt in our daily routine. And the situation is that as much as we wish to be fit and healthy, we also wish to satisfy our cravings for food and delicacies but sometimes this can lead to serious health issues.
So, after wandering over it and in order to strike a balance between the two, I started thinking of things which should be incorporated in our day so that no more guilt pangs threaten us while we indulge into something we would love to eat. Hence, I thought of five quick and easy to make drinks which can keep us active. So, here goes the list and believe me, most of you already know about these.

1. LEMONADE

This is the super-easy drink to make, you only have to squeeze half a lemon into a glass of water, stir it and here you go,it's done. If you wish for, you can add a little salt and sugar too. Substituting lemonade with tea and coffee is one thing one should go for.

Lemonade is highly rich with Vitamin C and a refreshing drink.

2. GREEN TEA

Green Tea has become quite popular among the youth recently for its ability to help in reducing the body fat but one thing more which is quite advantageous is that its an anti-oxidant and loaded with nutrients, makes you active( I tried it on myself during exams replacing caffeine with it), improves the brain functioning and what not. With little ginger and basil leaves during the boil, its a good medicine for sore throat too.

With different flavors and tea bags available in the market, this is the easiest thing to prepare by just boiling water or microwaving it and putting the tea-bag into that.

3. COCONUT WATER

Coconut Water is highly rich in minerals, tasty and the best energy drink known to me. No special skills are required to get this thing into your system, all one need to do is buy it from the marketplace and pour into a glass or even better use a straw to suck it directly from the coconut.

My biology once taught in the class that in deserts, coconut water can be used instead of glucose drip for a patient suffering from body weakness, it is that powerful.

4. WATERMELON JUICE

This is my favorite out from this list. Making it may be a time consuming task when compared with others but the end result or I should say taste totally worth it. This is one hell of a refreshing and colorful drink and highly nutritious too. Watermelon juice can make up for your body water content in a flash, hence keeps you hydrated. Also, it has anti-cancer properties too, it is rich in Vitamin-P which reduces the probability of having cancer in future. Also, for a fit body, try it as soon as you can and turn it into a habit.

Tip: Add a pinch of table-salt or black salt and enjoy it.

5. SOYMILK

SoyMilk is again a highly nutritious drink and the biggest advantage is that you can buy the tetra-packs from the market and have it in a go, no preparation is as such required. Better than animal milk and it improves the lipid profile, strengthens the blood vessels and most lucrative thing is that it promotes weight loss. 

So guys, if you wanna be fit and smart by doing less efforts and still enjoying your life, do make a habit to add one or two from above into your meals.

Because Fitness Comes First.
And MERRY CHRISTMAS to you all.

Who Is The Miss Universe 2015???

Biggest Goof Up of this month, maybe of the year(even some are saying decade), for that I first need to compile my list.
So, here's the story, I happened to miss the live telecast of Miss Universe 2015 because of some prior engagements, hence, I decided  to watch it on YouTube to catch up just to get myself updated. But what made me laughed till my stomach hurts and later on after getting back to my senses, feeling sympathized was the ending of the event where the host(Steve Harvey) has mistakenly announced the runner-up as the winner, that is, Miss Colombia and the girl went on to walk to receive applause from the crowd too, it was all going on smooth until the host made an apology and corrected his mistake that he had mixed up the information on the cards and the winner was declared as Miss Philippines. Then what came next was the situation when both the girls were standing out at the front receiving all the applaud, one happily shocked,astonished with the sudden announcement and the other completely baffled and confused with the sudden advancement which resulted in the demotion of her title and then the slipping of the crown from the ahem... previous winner's ( or runner-up's ) head and got crowned at the rightful place.

Those who have missed too like me can watch by clicking here.
What followed next was the rounds of accusations and debates on social media and apologies from the host and the organizers. The girls are the true winners in every sense, no questions can be put on their status of beauty and brains combination but this kind of situations can left anyone in embarrassment, thus, they should be avoided and has to be dealt with proper attention. Now, what should be done and what shouldn't be is left for the organizing committee to deliberate. 

Okay...Gimme A Hug First

"Friends don't let friends do silly things alone."

    -By Anonymous

        It's true that the invaluable gift given to us by God are friends. No matter what the situation we got stuck into or how bad and deep the mess we get inside, friends are always there for us to cover our back and pull out from the trouble. They are the only one with whom we can fight as much as we want,scold as if we are the rightful parents of them or play out the nastiest pranks one could think of and the next second we get back to our normal selves as if nothing has ever happened. This is the best part of having a friend that they won't judge you or get upset on the smallest of things, they just know you inside out. They are the ones who can bring out the best out of you and makes you awesome.

          If you are feeling a little low on one day, one person can always understand that without passing any hint and then to lift the mood, here they would come and say, 'Okay,tell me later but first share a hug, we both will feel better' and half of the problem seems to get solved. Somebody has once said to me that friendship is the best relationship in any individual's life which they could cherish for a lifetime and treasure it. One can have the random discussions, stupidest talks, hearty laughs only with their friends.They are the agony aunts to you in the hour of need but not the gossiping mongrels when you are somewhat weak. They make a lot of fun of you at your face but never make you a laughing stock out in the public. You can count on them and they'll be there for you before you finish your counting.

        I believe when you have your friends around, no one needs an excuse to party, its just that their presence is enough to make a reason to have a party and why not, Yaari/Dosti in itself is a big thing for celebration that too celebrate responsibly because it drives you crazy, mad but not into being a fool.

Product Review: CAFE COFFEE DAY Mighty Mason Sipper-RED

Hey everyone!! Wishing that you all are doing great.
Today,I'm going to review a product which I have recently bought. So, coming to the point, I have recently ordered a Red color Mason Jar from Amazon by Cafe Coffee Day. The product is entitled as 'Mighty Mason Sipper-Red by Cafe Coffee Day'.There was no discount on the M.R.P. provided and the delivery was made by BlueDart Courier Services within 4 days of ordering online which is good enough. The Jar is made up of glass and is quite heavy which I quite appreciated, the lid is made up of tin that is what I don't like much and the straw is made up of good quality acrylic. Now, coming to the visual appearance, it looks quirky and fun and has a good capacity too but I did find that the crystal appearance which was shown at the time of purchasing online do not match with the item in hand,i.e, the glass has somewhat less clarity in terms of transparency but not actually bad. Also, the price at which it is put to sell is Rs.199 which makes it quite affordable which comparing it with other brands who are offering the same commodity at Rs.350 or more.

Price: Rs.199
Availability:Online as well as Cafe Coffee Day Outlets

Pros:
1. Affordable price.
2. Quirky.
3. Different accessory for kitchen.

Cons:
1. Made up of glass and quite heavy, easily breakable upon ignorance.
2. Tin lid is not satisfactory, it would be better if it is of plastic.
3. Less clarity of glass jar.

My City DELHI

I always believe that it doesn't matter how much you roam around the world or go to places exploring them but there is always one city which has a special  place in your heart and you crave to go there often if you aren't living in that city or you don't want to leave that with your heart. We want reasons to just spend our time there doing the stuff we love and sometimes doing nothing but the fact that we are present there fills us with a feeling of content in our heart. It's like that your heart knows that there is a strong connect between you and that particular place.

For me, Delhi is my city, my birthplace, my parents brought me up here, I did my schooling and higher education here itself. If all that's not enough then all my friends and relatives belong to Delhi which are strong reasons for me to prove my liking for it.

Okay, now digging deeper into the topic, the reasons stated above are more personal rather than rational or logical,hence getting straightaway to the point, let's focus on the things which Delhi has to offer. First of all, Delhi is the capital & metropolitan city of India. It offers the much needed infrastructure of all the form of public transport required to make your daily life smooth and stress free. With Delhi Metro, the city is well inter-connected in itself but also with the NCR zone and wherever the DMRC has not yet crawled, the DTC buses are reaching there.
Also, Delhi has been blessed with a rich cultural heritage and a great political history at its background too.
What I love the most about my city is that it has a lot of markets to shop from such as Kamla Nagar, Chandni Chowk, Khan Market, Defense Colony, Sarojini Nagar, Connaught Place,etc. Trust me this list can go on and on. With the trend of shopping malls popping up in the city every here and there in the last decade also made it a delight for the shopping lovers, even few days earlier, one of my friend mentioned that this time in Delhi,one can name a big topnotch brand and find their retail store nearby them. With the recent inaugural of brand houses like GAP, H&M and Aeropostale, the shopaholics can never be more merrier.
Now, after all the facts, I can easily conclude that Delhi city has been designed in such a way that all the people of India or abroad coming here are being welcomed with a warm heart. With increasing trend of urbanization in the metropolitan, this city has been driven by an intangible force to keep its humbleness, welcoming attitude still intact at its place which makes it great totally for me and I can feel myself somewhere connected to people living there.
I can actually point out the resemblance between the Tata Motors Television Commercial of Lionel Messi's #MadeOfGreat and Delhi because both are made of great, it's people like us who made it great.

                                

App Review: HolidayIQ

Today while browsing through the trending topics on the Twitter, I came across a contest called #HolidayBetter conducted by HolidayIQ and somewhere down the line, it intrigued me to take part in it and during that process, it came into my notice that its an app called as HolidayIQ which is available at Google Play Store to download and as a curious soul which I am always without wasting a second, I installed it on my Smartphone.
Okay, here's the review:
First of all, it's a travel app and not for just only travel enthusiasts but for those who is an explorer.
This app provides reviews on different tourist places and these reviews are the first hand account of the travelers. There's a tab called Destination on it where you can browse through different places or the one of your choice, once selecting that a whole range of local tourist attractions will open up to visit and each one of it will have ratings and reviews attached with it. In short, you are getting suggestions to design your trip according to your own will that too for free.
We all have faced one problem while getting out of our house is that of the erratic network coverage, sometimes it's a no trouble zone but many times when needed the most and here the offline feature of the App comes into the foray, you can actually download the information and access it offline the same way you would have with internet access.
There' also feature of the app which is called customized Holiday Packages and as the name suggests it is what it is, offering tailor-made packages for you.
What I love the most about this App is that the pictures of various places are breath-taking and intriguing enough for you to tempt to plan an outing there.
Also the icing on the cake is that there are travel blogs up for read inspiring people to get onboard to travel.
All in all,really nice App with a user-friendly interface, easy to handle by anyone and I would suggest my readers to download it and enjoy while using it.
P.S. : They had a very good TVC on youtube, do check it out.

Technology : Smartphones & Us!!!

I am a self-confessed Technocrat and a happy one too. In my opinion, the Smartphones are definitely one of the best things that had happened to the human race in the 21st century. I am addicted to my mobile phone and why shouldn't I, it has each and every thing I may need or related to me stored inside it.
I got my hands over my Smartphone during last summer, precisely April 2014 and I am completely bowled over by it. It would be an understatement if someone would say that I like my phone, as a matter of fact I am in awe of it, totally and completely loved it to the core from the bottom of my heart.
What I admire about them the most is the power given to the end-user to choose the device of their choice whether in terms of mobile color like white, black, silver, gold, blues, red, etc ( I prefer midnight blue for a matter of fact), display screen size, OS, camera and much more.
From the point of view of a youngster in a developing country like India, I have put down the basic key requirements one would go through while picking up a phone and these are:

• A budget phone under the belt of Rs.25000. Well, this is because we have to juggle up our finances between many things and activities and draining out all the savings at once won't help. Come on people understand, we are college peeps and we have a lot to manage in our daily life.
• A good resolution frontal and back camera because ours is a Selfie-generation and for good & fun selfies, they are not gonna compromise on the features of a camera a mobile company has to offer even if it means to shelling out some extra money sometimes.
• Since the best and user-friendly affordable OS in the market is Android, one has to keep in check the version of Android they would be having after purchasing and this directly points out that latest Android version is expected, for an example, Android M currently.
• A good RAM and internal storage supported smartphone with the processor running inside it be an Octacore at least.
• Additional features like different sensors, phone covers and accessories also plays a major role while the selection.  

For an example, if I have a chance to buy a Smartphone right here and then, I will be looking for a 13 MP back & 5 MP frontal camera at least, 5.5 inch display screen, 401 ppi with 4 GB RAM and  8 GB internal storage minimum, Octacore Processor, Android M as the OS and 4G technology supporting it under the range of Rs.15,000-Rs.20,000. Also, I will be emptying my wallet on cool accessories such as Phone Covers, Headphones/Earphones, etc.

All in all, the coming of the Smartphones has changed the youth for better because if I'm going to prick about something, there will be a long list to compile on but if we look on the sunnier side, the advent of the smartphones has created a new zone of jobs & courses such as App development, Social Media Interns & Experts, Freelance Photographers and many more which ultimately became possible because of the numerous features can be catered to the user by a smartphone.
