Winning the Hearts of People to Win in life

It was my passion always to move to states, learn about different strategies and grab the opportunities it has to offer to succeed. My dream came true recently when I moved to States. Everything was new to me. I moved to an apartment and started a new life. Initially I felt very lonely and taught it is very difficult to make friends here as their ideas, culture and values are very different than ours. One day with lot of courage I invited my colleagues born and brought up in states to come over to my place for get together. When they visited me I noticed that they would come into the house without leaving the foot wears outside the door. I was not really comfortable with that idea, I explained to them that it is the culture in India that the foot wears must be left outside the entering door and then I also explained to them that it is also scientific and logical to follow the culture as you know we wear foot wears and go out where dirt and germs stick to the foot wears and we do not want to spread it to the whole house and get ourselves sick and they unanimously agreed with me and then they got excited to know what all the Indian culture has to offer. Now, they follow this in their homes too. I taught it would be hard to make friends but I gained friendship with many by advocating the Indian Culture. Soon I became popular and role model among them. Things like this may seem simple but it will have a long lasting effect to win over hearts of people.

how to turn good mornings in to gold mornings

There is always a saying “Gold never loses its value”. It is very important to preserve certain things in a person’s life. We would have a good night sleep getting rid of the tiring day and want to wake up each and every day with freshness and joy to get whole of the day going smooth and energy filled. The moment we wake up we would want to brush our teeth get rid of the foul smell from our mouth to greet and meet people who we are close to. Brushing our teeth is an important part of a person’s routine life. One would love to brush the teeth and get refreshed. Brushing is also an art. By correctly brushing our teeth we can minimize gum problems, plaque and fight against the cavity. By using the Colgate 360 charcoal gold toothbrush we can clean our whole mouth, this is a dentist recommended toothbrush. Gold is always of very high value so as our teeth and it always pays for keeping the teeth clean with brushing it right. Turn the good morning into gold mornings with Colgate. #Colgate360GoldMornings

My favorite city

My favorite city in India is my own home town Kolkata, India, Mysore is a popular city in West Bengal, West India known for its heritage and culture. Design, drive and connect in Kolkata:

The roads in Kolkata is very smooth to drive; as compared to other cities all over India the traffic is very less smooth and can reach the destinations in the shortest time Yes I literally mean whatever estimate time Google Map shows less traffic jams, pure air, less geographical area. To put it together a very neat city.

Design of Kolkata: The city currently utilizes public transport as the main source for transport. Metro, trams and buses. Due to immense and abundant public transportation there is a very big lack of privately owned vehicles. Since there is a lack of privately owned vehicles driving the new Tata cars/ new brand model cars in the beautiful roads of Kolkata must be exciting. The smoother and traffic less the roads are the more fun it is to ride more over we can connect ourselves to the public.

Kolkata has a rich culture where Durga pooja is celebrated with high spirits. People from all over the world visit and connect them to the spiritual sense of Kolkata during that period. The roads speak the language of feast.

Kolkata is also known as land of bridges. It is located on the Hooghly River. One of the renowned bridges is Howrah Bridge; Howrah Bridge connects Kolkata over Hooghly River. It is a mind boggling experience to travel over this bridge encompassing and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Hooghly River. The astonishing fact is the Howrah Bridge carries a daily traffic of 100,000 vehicles and more than 150,000 pedestrians making it one of the busiest and amazing bridges in the whole world.

Connect: People in Kolkata are very friendly. No social media can replace the bonding between the people of this region. People maintain a social connection among each other. They physically meet each other quite frequently and they exchange each other’s feeling, each others sorrows and joys they meet for the frequent festivals and celebrations. Connection between the people is same as the connection between the roads of the city neat and simple.

Drive in Kolkata: Driving in Kolkata is easy as there isn’t much traffic and the rides will be smooth. Due to increase in public transportation the people who would like to drive in their own vehicles are less making the way to easy and smooth rides to the people who actually choose to drive. All in all a nice luxurious and comfortable car must make the way in Kolkata drive smooth and connect friendly. Designing the way one wants to choose to drive whether through the road, woods or rivers the ride and the experience all together is excellent and wonderful.

Peanut Butter Chocolate

Chocolates are my all time favorites !! Now whatever the occasion is we all love chocolates, I decided to try and make some chocolates :D I had a slab of chocolate compound at home, and this made is so much easier to make chocolates. It is almost very very easy.

What you need:

Chocolate compound	250 gms
Raisins	50-60
Almonds	10
Peanut butter	3-4 tbsp
Vanilla essense	1 tsp
Sugar free Natura	1 tsp

Cook it up:

1. Roughly cut the cooking chocolate into big chunks and transfer it to a microwaveable glass bowl. Break a small piece of the chocolate and check the amount of sugar free naatura. If it is already sweet, you may not need to add any extra sugar.

2. If needed you can roast the almonds and raisins. I used them just like that for the first batch and used them roasted for the second batch. I could not make a lot of difference in the chocolates though. Roughly chop the almonds into 2-3 pieces each. You can add them whole if you desire.

2. Place the bowl in the microwave, and microwave on high for 30 seconds. Check if the chocolate has started melting by pressing with a spoon. Repeat and check every 30 seconds. If you overdo it, the chocolate will get a burnt smell and taste, and will not taste as good. Once melted properly, you should be able to easily run a spoon around the chocolate.

3. If necessary add sugar to the melted chocolate. If the chocolate is bitter, you can choose to add more powdered sugar, or powdered brown sugar. Stir well to make sure sugar is mixed well. The compound I used was already a little sweetened, so I added just about half a tsp of sugar free natura, and I don't think it made much difference. Next, Add the peanut butter.

4. Once the peanut butter is added to the hot melted chocolate, stir and mix vigorously. The peanut butter will soften and mix well due to the hot chocolate. Add a tsp of vanilla essence while mixing. Once mixed, microwave for ten seconds and stir again, to make sure it is all mixed well.

5. Take a chocolate mould and clean it well with a tissue paper. It should be dry and clean. I used a silicone mould that makes 15 chocolates. With a silicone mould it is very easy to pop out the chocolates.

6. Place 2 raisins and a piece of almond in each pit of the mould. With a small teaspoon, transfer the chocolate mixture to the pits and make sure the chocolate doesn't overflow too much out of the pit of the mould.

7. Once done, try to clean the space between the pits. Place the mould in the freezer for 15-20 minutes and your chocolates should be done. Just invert the mould on a tray and press on each mould pit to pop out the chocolates. Can be stored in a refrigerator and served for 1-2 weeks, if they last that long.

Internet speed thrills

When I was in my 10^th grade it was the first time started using internet. I created an email account and my entire family was joyful. I was very excited to browse the internet. The main purpose of me creating the email was to talk to my brother who was studying his Masters in United States of America .Google voice chat was the most popular medium to connect and have video chat see the lifestyle and experience the closeness of the family. But that appeared to be very sluggish experience due to interruptions all the time during the video chat due to low bandwidth streaming problems either the video goes out or the speech. The difference between the internet speeds was quite visible. Unfortunately we had to just limit the chat sessions to text sometimes. Gone are those days of internet giving problems and taking a long time to load pages up. We moved from 2^nd generation of internet speeds, then to 3^rd and today we are in 4^th generation of internet speeds where everything is lightning fast. With the 4^th generation of internet speed today I can load pages as quickly as possible on my mobile application even if the page has flash enabled/animated content in it. I would like to stream the High definition movies right at my fingertips in seconds without having to wait for the suspense part of thriller movie to buffer, wow. I would like to have an uninterrupted Google Hangouts/Skype chats and Whatsapp chats with video and audio. I would like to compete with my friends on an internet online games that we can play online at the same time without any interruptions/without having the lack of physical presence of friends. I would also love to stream online cricket matches on my phone while I am at work and see the live updates without missing any part of this interesting game.

It is very much important to be able to have the 4G lightning fast speeds at the fingertips these days as most of the mobile applications like Google map, shopping websites, Talking Tom, nursery rhymes, Youtube, Facebook, Whatsapp, Gtalk, Skype, office, blackberry messenger all requires the internet speed to be 4^thgeneration. Missing an important route on the map due to low speed internet would lead us nowhere. Today my son spends most of his times looking at the Nursery rhymes which requires a high speed internet. His kiddy games require the speed. Intelligent learning/e-learning websites that has automated content for easy learning for toddlers and preschoolers require the internet to be very fast. I would also like to blog, update my kitchen blogs and websites fast. Last but not the least I would like to see the results of board examinations and pre-university and degree within seconds on my mobile with the 4G speed is it not great, yes it is.
Basically whoever wants to advance rapidly with this fast moving technology world and stay in touch with the technology should have the 4G speed in their hands to keep up-to-date of world affairs.

Dieting

From long ago it is a known fact that "health is wealth". It is very important for a person to maintain his/her health in a very good condition. Habitual of a person determines the health of the person. A person's diet is very important factor while considering keeping it up with good healthy condition of the body.

The external conditions like seasons around the year influences the type of food that we should have in such seasons to maintain the health. In winter we do tend to eat more as the stomach asks for more to sustain the cold weather. We can get hungrier in winter and our belly demands for more than usual.

In summer we hardly feel that hungry, the season mitigates the hunger in us but demands for consumption of more and more liquids and cool products as we go along to keep up with daily routines.

It is very important to have a balanced healthy diet. The benefits of having such a diet are:

1. Our productivity increases, we would be able to do our jobs with more efficiency and accuracy.

2. We will be happier. Balanced diet makes one joyful.

3. We will be less stressful as the balanced diet makes us strong enough to sustain the stress

4. Eating right and balanced food will control our body weight

5. Eating balanced diet increases the life span of a person

6. Consuming balanced diet will make us look younger than our actual age and we will be better looking.

7. Balanced diet will make the food taste better than we thought

8. Healthy diet will make us eat in the right proportion we will never over eat.

9. Healthy diet will save us a lot of money that we spend on consuming junk food

10. Balanced diet help us maintain our health and we feel healthier

Now let’s look at some of the compromises that crash diet causes:

1. When a person suddenly goes on a crash diet and controls his calories, the body, in the fear of its starving, fights to protect its set fat point by lowering the body’s metabolism to click into the fat storage rather than burning the fat.

2. During the first two weeks on crash diet we tend to lose the proteins and water as the body protects the fat as last reserve due to which one may feel lousy during the first two weeks.

3. Crash diet not only cuts bad fats but might also cut good fats which would eventually cause fat deficiency

4. crash diets does not keep up the pace between insulin, carbohydrates, and fat storage

5. It would be very hard for one to change from balanced nutritional diet to crash diet as the body resists this kind of downsizing.
