A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jan 2019 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra

Hi Friends,

January 2019 was the time when my blog completed 6 years and I made some resolutions at the start of the year. I followed them sincerely and completed many of them. This year January was the time to meet my family and friends in India as I traveled after a gap of 3 years. My MBA friends made it a point to book an Airbnb in New Delhi and relive the moments with each other. It was one of the most relaxing meets of the decade when all of us met after 13 long years under a single roof. Really grateful to all of them. 

1. #TheLifesWayReviews @iFrogz Coda #Wireless #Headphones with Mic #Music #Calls - http://www.thelifesway.com/2019/01/thelifeswayreviews-ifrogz-coda-wireless.html - iFrogz makes a lot of great audio products and I got this Coda Wireless on-ear headphones and totally loved them. I am a big fan of earphones and headphones and I am attracted to them a lot. Whenever a new one is launched in the market, my first reaction is to have them or at least try them out. I am hooked to the new Samsung Galaxy Buds Plus but I have not even seen the first version of the same. 

2. #TheLifesWayReviews S-Pen Is it a #GameChanger? 11 Features I loved @SamsungMobileSA #GalaxyNote9 - I really loved S-Pen in my Note 8 and when I got the chance to check out the features in Note 9 S Pen, I totally loved the same. Now they have Note 10 also in the market which I have also reviewed and will share the new features on my blog posts soon. S Pen is something that can make your bullet journaling fun on the smartphone.

3. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jan 2018 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - It's been a regular series and remembering the last year and the posts you did nostalgic. I don't want to discontinue this series and may introduce some new series this year. I am focussed on the same and I am also doing what I was not doing earlier - reading books and listening to audiobooks in 2020. 

4. 6 Years of www.TheLifesWay.com #TheLifesWay #Birthday #Blogpost #6YearsofTheLifesWay #1675thPost - I have completed 7 years now and I am on my way to learn new things and fall in love with The Life's Way again and work towards making it to the top. I am going to do it slowly and steadily and you will see the same. 

5. #Technology and #Children - Can They Go Hand in Hand? #Parenting #6YearsofTheLifesWay - Kids are glued to the mobile and TV screens all the time and I have a lot of old devices that are available to them. Though I don't share my current devices with them at all and my family tries to only use the screen time to see the necessary shows and movies and nothing else. Reyansh sees the nursery poems whenever he is eating food.

I hope 2020 to be a year that will bring me a lot of execution of ideas rather than waiting and procrastinating them for the next years. I plan to start working on my Youtube channel and did some initial study on my holidays in India. I am ready and I can't wait anymore to learn new things in life. Also this year I will turn 40 and the time to research ends and now it's time to implement and discover new strengths.

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - July 2018 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #BirthdayBoy

Hi Friends, 

July will remain always my favorite month as I was born in this month and every year I look forward to making it my best month of the year. This year I did spend a lot of money on the things I always wanted in my life and my family too showered me with gifts of their choice which I totally loved. I did win a contest with Aquelle but the prize is still to arrive so I am not sure what they will send me. 

1. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - July 2017 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay #1550Post - http://www.thelifesway.com/2018/07/a-memoir-this-month-last-year-july-2017.html - Last year when I posted this blog post for July 2017 it was my 1550th post and this year this one will be 1765th post on my blog. I think the next year it will be very less movement as I will move more towards video blogging as compared to the pen and paper. 

2. Product Review - @HuaweiZA P20 #SeeMooore #HuaweiP20 #ArtificialIntelligence - http://www.thelifesway.com/2018/07/product-review-huaweiza-p20-seemooore.html - Last year I was using this review unit by Huawei and totally loved taking it around the city. The portrait photographs looked too cool just from the smartphone and posted thousands of them on the social media networks. Now I am using Huawei P20 Pro which is also an awesome smartphone and my wife wants to use it now. 

3. Product Review - @SamsungMobileSA Galaxy S9 #DoWhatYouCant #GalaxyS9 @SamsungSA - http://www.thelifesway.com/2018/07/product-review-samsungmobilesa-galaxy.html - Last year I received this awesome smartphone from Samsung for 2 weeks review and I took the same to Badplaas Forever Resorts and totally loved the same. The photos on this device are totally out of this world that's why I think they call them GALAXY smartphones! 

4. Product Review - @NokiaMobile Nokia 6.1 #AndroidOne #NokiaMobileZA #Nokia61 @HMDGlobal - http://www.thelifesway.com/2018/07/product-review-nokiamobile-nokia-61.html - Nokia relaunched themselves in South Africa and I got to review one of their smartphones and the other one they sent, was left in the mailroom till the end of review period as they never called me and Nokia PR company never told me that they sent it. Totally missed the opportunity to use the Nokia 7 plus because of this miscommunications. 

I did several other product reviews last July and this July in 2019, I took a break from all social media channels and focussed on enjoying my life. 

5. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jun 2017 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - http://www.thelifesway.com/2018/07/a-memoir-this-month-last-year-jun-2017.html - I totally love writing for this series of blog posts and share what happened that month of the year. I might be late to do so in many months but I try to be consistent and now onwards I will try to stick to a schedule. More and More I analyze these posts, I feel sad that I did so many posts for all these brands for free and they are not calling me to their events too. Some of them have never sent any goodies, press drops at all and when asked for the same, they totally stop all communications. This world of PR and blogging is such a mean world and you need to have a thick skin to carry on going in this one! 

Many thanks for all your love and blessing in my birthday month for all the wishes on facebook, WhatsApp and other channels of communications. Many thanks to my family and friends for all their great gifts and thoughts about my celebrations. One of my close friends told me that, I will be double Naughty at 40 because I am already Naughty! I am sure I will surpass his expectations! 

Cheers!!!

Gift Him With Lexington @Solo_NewYork Laptop Backpack #EveryDaySolo @Gammatek

Hi Friends,

Whether your friend is a computer engineer, a sportsman or just a man that likes to live life on his own terms, he is probably carrying around more than just his laptop, or rather, the laptop is just the tip of the iceberg as he usually carries phones, tools and other pieces of equipment. If this is the case, he needs a good bag to carry all he needs with him, so for his big day or just to appreciate, a good carry-it-all bag would be the perfect gift these winters.

The right bag for the job
While there are many Laptop bags out there, finding THE laptop bag that works for him will take some researching as there are many features that you would need to take into consideration.

The right Laptop bag had to be lightweight
Sometimes he might be carrying around his whole life with him, which would make the bag a lot heavier, he needs a lightweight Laptop bag that is also of good quality to withstand heavy use, and sometimes abuse he puts his bags through.

The right laptop bag had to have lots of storage space
Because he needs to be able to get all his tools organized and have easy access to them, having different pockets for the tools and instruments was a must, not only to keep him organized but also to help him save time by easily reaching all he needs at any given time.

The right laptop bag had to be stylish
Because the image is important, his laptop bag has to look nice as it would be part of his attire in a way… Sometimes finding a bag that is functional and good looking might be a challenge.

He would definitely love this Lexington laptop backpack from Solo New York.

Why?
This Laptop bag is Inspired by New York’s Exclusive Neighborhood and features a sleek style with a fully padded 15.6″ laptop compartment with lockable zippers along with an internal iPad/ tablet pocket. It also has front zippered pockets with organizer sections and key clip that is very handy, a discrete business lining, 2 zippered pockets on each side, a very welcomed padded back and back straps for added comfort.

Last but not least, it has another very handy feature: the back panel slides over luggage handles which is great if he has a wheeled bag while traveling.

The Lexington laptop backpack from Solo New York was exactly what he needs on his birthday! I wouldn't mind a bag like this on my birthday on 22nd July.

The Solo range is available in South Africa at Incredible Connection, Takealot.com & Shopandship.co.za and includes the below bag range as well as really unique tablet covers. For more information on Gammatek’s product range please visit www.gammatek.co.za or follow us on Twitter @gammatek and Facebook.

11 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Goals

Hi Friends, 

The goal which seems too far is now within reach but still there a lot of posts between them. Starting a blog is easy but it requires a lot of planning on pen and paper. Once it's released to the world, then you have make the ecosystem around the same to work. It means setting up your other social media channels from twitter to Instagram, to pinterest to tumblr and facebook. Once you are done with all of it, it's time to create a lot of unique content so as to drive traffic towards all your channels. 

The second part starts when you have to find time to do it on a daily or weekly basis. Some people plan and schedule their posts so that there is regularity in the order which is great if you can do so. I can say that an ideal state of work ethics and professionalism. But with me, I am unable to do so till now in my 6th year of blogging and social media influence. I am lazy sometimes and tries to buckle up but sometimes technology too adds to the woes. Slow internet connection, laptop with not a battery backup and writers block are all the woes anyone can face. 

Aashish Rai - #Editor #TheLifesWay #PhotoYatra

I always have a goal driven approach towards The Life's Way in terms of how much reach I can get from the content that gets shared on my Instagram channel. How many product reviews I can do on my blog posts and when can I shoot my video's for adding to the content of YouTube. There has been no success till date on the same but soon this laziness has to go as I have to achieve my goals this year. Though I am happy to see that my twitter handle was having 50 followers when I came to South Africa in 2013 and a smart watch brand didn't wanted to send their products for review and now I have more than 9000 followers in 2017.

I have started working on the same in small tasks as the first task I did was to create an email id which was pending since long for EDITOR@TheLifesWay.com so that it feels great for the companies to see that it's some passionate person you are working with.

Next task was to take out the autobot to post tweets from my handles for which I used to pay around ZAR 1800 per annum. I have saved on this cost and now I will spend the same on getting some merchandise for my brand and distributing it to the PR companies and my readers.

So, there are a lot of changes happening at my end and I will continue to share the same in rest of my 10 posts for the 5th Birthday Celebrations of The Life's Way!

Cheers!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - July 2016 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys, 

July is my birthday month and it's always a pleasure to celebrate this day with your family and friends. My life has been a never ending struggle as 22/7 is a pi number and you can keep dividing the same to get the next number after the decimals.

1. Aarya Restaurant Adds New #Taste #AaryaNewMenu @TsogoSun @MontecasinoZA - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/07/aarya-restaurant-adds-new-taste.html - Aarya Restaurant in Montecasino is one of the best restaurants catering to the needs to everyone looking for amazing snacks and food. Deena Naidoo is the first MasterChef South Africa winner and being an Electrical Engineer named the restaurant after her daugher Aarya.

2. Why Are We Hungrier In #Winters? @KelloggsZA #KelloggsBFBD - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/07/why-are-we-hungrier-in-winters.html - Kelloggs last year had an amazing initiative for the kids in several schools all over in South Africa which was named Breakfast For Better Days. I attended one of the events last year in one of the schools in Soweto and it was great smiles when children got their stomach full by Kelloggs breakfast to focus on studies afterwards.

3. A Memoir - This Month Last Year - July 2015 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/07/a-memoir-this-month-last-year-july-2015.html - I simply love my own memoirs as it brings back a lot of memories and events which I was part of. Life goes on at full throttle and you sometimes totally forgot about the amazing life you are living so these memories keeps you grounded and grateful.

4. @BangOlufsenSA Launches #BeoplayH5 #Wireless #Bluetooth Earphones - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/07/bangolufsensa-launches-beoplayh5.html - Bang and Olufsen is known to bring the divine experience to your senses. With the latest technology in audio devices, the key to next experience is wireless designs as more and more smartphones are going against the 3.5mm jack these days. I simply adore their products and looking forward to own them one day.

5. Modular Design Linked To "Play" Theme #LgG5 @LGMobileSA #LGPlayMore - http://www.thelifesway.com/2016/07/modular-design-linked-to-play-theme.html - LG was way ahead in terms of bringing the modular design to the market but it didn't worked out very well for them. But sincerely, I loved the phone a lot and the camera on the same was awesome. I was not invited to LG G6 launch and have not seen the phone till now so LG G5 remains my best pick from the house of LG.

It will be awesome time to create new opportunities and work towards writing a lot of posts as I have waited enough already. Let's post a lot of posts daily and then sponsorship will come automatically. Let's rock #TheLifesWay and #PhotoYatra hashtags.

Cheers!!!
