My dream 24K home with Porcelanosa

Building a home is surely one of the most complicated as well as important jobs of life.

And only few get what they had in their mind.

This job is made much simpler for us by  http://www.24kliving.com/ and http://www.porcelanosa.com/gb/

24k living provides us with amazing apartments from 1bhk to 4bhk at amazing rates and aminities.

Porcelanosa provides with the furnishing of the flats.

From flooring to the complete furniture u get it all here.

I always had a dream that my house would be one like we see in Hollywood movies…with beautiful textures on the walls and glossy finish on furniture but thought it is not possible to get such designs .

I was wrong though. Porcelanosa’s products reminds me of the movie Titanic..

Everyone remembers the first class lounge and the hotel shown in the movie!

Yeah its that great.

And talking about the options, there are more options than you can imagine of.

Porcelanosa gave me a choice of selecting from their products and build my dream home.

When I visited their website I literally got Goosebumps ! The products available there just reminded of a house in some Hollywood movie. Yes that elegant and sophisticated!

My selection from the website…

1.Tiles

This includes all the sections as of the walls, floor, textures etc.

The wooden finish looks amazing! 

2. Kitchen

According to me kitchen should be as simple as possible but with the same time it should have a classic finish!

3.Bathroom

I am not a bathtub guy…I need a shower that’s for sure! If I have this bathroom in my house I would never get out of my house! :P 

Awesome shower !

This will make me forget about all my tension and reduce my stress for sure!

4. Sanitary

Sanitary-ware is important for me. Although I don’t have many specifics about it, it’s still important. Essence-C is perfect according to me. Nothing too fancy but you can definitely marvel at the graceful design .

5.  The wardrobe

Wardrobe I think is more of a necessity than just a luxury item.

I need a spacious wardrobe looks do matter a bit though.

6.The closet

And lastly this closet… My first reaction after seeing was “OMG!” .It is so amazing!

Everyone wants a closet where you can walk around and try on your cool stuff and you get a hidding spot from everyone when you want to spend some alone time:P

So this completes my entire selection.It isn't everything but all the needs which I care for.

I know its not so easy to achieve this dream so fast but its not so bad to dream big!

The Domex Toilet Academy

In last two centuries we as Indians have reached not only to the Moon but also Mars and on other hand we still have villages here with no electricity, no water facilities ,poor health care etc.

One of the major issues in India today is sanitation.

During independence only 3% of total houses in India had private toilets in their houses. Today we have progressed a lot in terms of infrastructure development but there are many villages which do not have toilets and neither the people there are educated enough to understand the importance of a proper sanitation.

Sanitation across India is very poor with the national average for sanitation cover at 38%. Although the Indian Government has used – and continues to use – its tax resources to help alleviate this situation (and puts a large sum every year towards better drinking water supply and household sanitation) on the ground the population clings to age old cultures.

This is mainly due to a lack of understanding about the need for hygiene and sanitation and a general lack of awareness about the best way to improve their position and as a result, enjoy better health. Outside assistance has to be targeted. It must complement and support what the National and State Governments are doing. Introducing benchmark standards, new but appropriate technology and providing capacity building for the many NGOs that are helping to implement the government programs are but a few of the ways to help.

Why is Total Sanitation a must ?

• ·        Causes most deaths due to gastro-intestinal diseases, jaundice, worms etc.
• ·        Expenditure on medical aid cuts the poor man’s pocket
• ·        Education suffers because children cannot attend school
• ·        Adolescent girls & women do not have privacy & dignity
• ·        Sanitation affects all Millennium Development Goals
• ·        Sanitation is Multildimensional
• ·        Multiple Impacts and Determinants
• ·        Poor Sanitation Impacts Health particularly of Women and Children Diarrheal diseases resulting from poor sanitation and hygiene kill more than 400,000 persons in India every year.
• ·        Poor Sanitation Impacts learning ability - Study in Alwar, Rajasthan showed school toilets increased enrollment by 11%
• ·        Poor Sanitation Impacts Nutrition
• ·        Poor Sanitation Impacts Environmental Pollution

The Domex Toilet Academy

This team have taken an initiative to promote and encourage people in rural areas to construct as well as maintain a proper toilet in every home .If not possible in every household than a toilet atleast in the vicinity.

The Toilet Academy makes toilets accessible and affordable, while promoting the benefits of clean toilets & good hygiene.

Domex have given us a chance to participate in their deed  ll you need to do is “click” on the “Contribute Tab” on www.domex.in and Domex will contribute Rs.5 on your behalf to eradicate open defecation.

There is more to India than you think!

When we try to recall our contribution to the world the first thing that pops right onto our mind is "0".

"Yeah! We Indians Discovered 0".

Don’t you think it is about time to get passed "The Ultimate 0"?

Let us start talking about the most recent achievement that India has proudly gained by the hard work and determination of the people at IISRO.

Yes indeed, I am talking about the Mars Orbit Mission (MOM).

After the satellite reached the destined orbit many facts came up and went viral on various SNSs and 

Communication media like it was the cheapest mission that cost only 450crore INR, it was cheaper then what Hollywood took to make a film about space, it’s per km cost was less than what an auto rickshaw costs in India etc.

But the fact that mattered that is “how was the mission accomplished?”  was never known.

I tried to understand the launch mechanism of the satellite but a lot of things went just above my head.

However all that I could understand is at NASA, they used a high thrust launcher which cost them a lot more money whereas ISSRO decided they would use some extra law of physics or some extra equipment together with their old launcher so as to lower the cost of the mission.

And guess what ISSRO used?

We used “gravity”.

What can be cheaper than free?

Now you would be thinking how can we use gravity to escape the pull of gravity?

But here is what happened…

We used Earth’s gravity to gain velocity, Sun’s gravity to maintain the projectile and Mars’ gravity to enter it orbit!

I used to think all the multi-national companies would get their data feeding and other clerical work done by Indians but then I read that more than 750 companies have setup their “Research and development cells” in India..

The core center of their innovation is INDIA!

The chiefs of Google and IBM are Indians, not from Indian Origin but Pure Indians, who went through the same education system that we did.

There are 75000 American employees and 150000 Indian employees in IBM

“Jan Gan Man” - The national anthem of India was selected as the best anthem across the globe.

We have one the seven wonders of the world here in India!

So next time you say India it is not just the “0”,not just the Bollywood, not just the cricket team…..

There is certainly more to India than you think!

Similarly Lufthansa is more Indian than you think!

Kya aap apne Bacche ko deti hai poshtic aahar?

The title of this page is from a very famous add of some milk suppliment which i dont remember.

I am sharing a very sad story of a 2 and a half years old of my neighbour.
my neighbor has 2 kids both are of roughly same age.

I think one is 4 and other is 2 years old.

It was a Monday morning their parents are both working so they leave them to a baby sitter early morning.

The younger one had just learnt to open the door.(Yes he is so young.)

The baby sitter went into the kitchen for some work as she claims leaving the infants alone in the hall.

The younger one went inside the bathroom opening its door and sat inside a bucket as always so as to bath.

Accidentally someone had left the geyser on (I dont know who) .The geyser was on for more than 1 hour.

Now he turned the tap open.The hot boiling water fell directly on his tiny fragile body and all he could do is scream.

The sitter heard his scream almost after 20 seconds and rush into the bathroom.

The older one (I dont know how he got the idea at this young age) barged into my apartment for help.

We immideatly called an ambulance and then called their mother.

 At the hospital she reached in tears and all worried about her child.

The doctor concluded by saying his 80% of the body is burnt and it will take a months period to recover that too if he is in intensive care.

Now that whole month i saw her at hime holding the kid in her hand and never leaving him away from her sight.

She also had to quit her job for the same.

I could see the heat faced by the child was getting transferred to her .

More the pain he felt more she wept and fell ill. 


She had fever rising up and falling down periodically..

You must be thinking where is the father in all this.He too was worried (obviously) but according to me,the pain a mother goes through when her child is hurt cant be compared to any pain. 

I could even listen to the child screaming and shouting for days and could just imagine the pain he is going through.

(I cant display the images because it would be a violation to their privacy but I was shocked seeing them .I literally got froze for 5 seconds or so. )



Children are the joy of the family.

If they are sick no one in the family can enjoy anything in their life.

On 20th September I along with couple of friends had attended one of the longest meets of Indiblogger.
A 9am to 5am lecture kinda meet on blogging!
It was almost as long as my college hours...
Apparently a day before the meet my friends were discussing whether to go for the meet or not as few of us were finding it to be too long to be fun...
Gradually few of them backed off...but i had made up my mind to attend the meet by hook or by crook .
Reached for the meet on time!
Waiting outside they marked our names o the list of attendees for the lucky draw...
Entering inside the venue "The Blue Frog" we grabbed the best seats possible...
And we were waiting for the meet to begin

The meet started by around 11:00am with a rocking performance by the IndiTeam

Hats off to the band!

The sesion was starts by a heart spoken speech by Mr Vinit Goenka.He delivered an awesome key note speech with use of no script.

Next session was given by Mr Amit Agarwal.His session provided some insight about blogging and its fundamentals.

Later the host of a popular YouTube channel "Chai with lakshmi" took over the stage.

She talked about her expireance of running a YouTube channel and explained what exactly is her channel about.I won't go on he details of the channel you can buffer it up on YouTube later.

It was now time for the phone guru Mr Varun Krisnan to speak.He spoke about his life and struggle during his engineering college.How it took years for him to become a professional blogger.

One of the most humorous websites is the Unreal Times .The founder of "The Unreal Times" Mr Shri Krishna Chepuri was present to talk about legel aspects of blogging.

How can one put you behind bars if you try to troll some IMP person.

Scherezade Shroff the next spokesperson is 

a fashion blogger, vlogger, model etc. This girl was gorgeous and had a pretty voice, she spoke about lifestyle and fashion blogging.

The most important session for me was the one on SEO by Harsh Agrawal. He pointed out some easy steps to improve search engine optimization for blogs.

Besides all the educational sessions there were many Giveaways for the Best Selfie shot at the Selfie corner ,a twitter contest and other Random giveaways.. 

Luckily I won a Flipkart voucher worth a 1000 bucks!
