8 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Habits

Hi Friends, 

The Life's Way started with an idea and now has become my daily passion to create unique content on one of the social media channels. It can be in the form of any new Instagram posts or writing something on my blog. There is something or the other that you always have to do it on a daily basis. It's like a habit more than anything else to run this business of social media influence. I don't run it like a business but more like an act of fun and time to relax. I have invested a lot of time in this and have got a lot of benefits from the same. 

I am not saying I am number 1 or I have done great to date but I am working on it and wants to do something good. I am creating what I am learning and learning what I am creating. Blogging is all about the start and once you start you have to continue on the same daily, weekly or monthly or yearly day in day out. I have been doing the same for more than 5 years as earlier I used to participate in twitter and facebook contests before starting my blog. You have to remain active for certain hours on Twitter to participate in their contests by several brands.

The power is to start and not thinking to get it perfect before you even start. As you start, you can master the art and come up with ideas to market it better. I am too postponing my Youtube channel just to be perfect but there is no perfection as it needs to be started and then I can see where I am lagging and where can I implement something. I need to work on making a plan what content, what language I will keep my youtube channel in and then I will be starting the same soon. Also with videos is that you need to overcome your self-consciousness you are representing your speaking style, accent and many other things to your viewers. I have tried to shoot it but could not do it unless there was some contest involved in the same.

But Let's Start and make it a habit to do the things as soon as they are thought of. Once my college professor told me and it turned out to be true, that You will keep planning whereas others will come back home with trophies. So, just start and learn along the way. That will be my advice to all of the young bloggers who are starting to create something unique. I have opened up a bit with a lot of new people and I am having fun talking to all of them which was one of the topics I discussed in my earlier write-ups. Have a great day and night!

Cheers!!!

19 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Thankfulness

Hi Friends,

#Thankfulness 

As the number of days towards my 5th birthday is nearing less and less, I am more and more grateful and thankful to the Universe for giving me this idea to start my blog. It's been a journey full of ups and downs which I loved and totally thank Universe for the same. The biggest year for The Life's Way blog was the year 2015 when I won #MissionSamsung Blogger Grand Finale and that year I received a 65inch Curved Samsung TV for the same. I simply adore the TV and have stopped going to cinemas for regular movies. This serves as a window into the house of the stars as I watch full HD content from the luxury of my home. 

The year 2016 has been fruitful too in terms of goodies received from Huawei in their launch events and also won the Samsung A5 smartphone from Fanta South Africa. Other than that I received a personalized UE Roll 2 Bluetooth speaker from Logitech which I really loved listening to. Also, I got Go Budds Bluetooth earphones from DJ Fresh which is an awesome little device to carry around your neck. 2016 also brought a lot of small gifts from power banks to pen drives; from bags to caps. 

The Year 2017 has been good so far as I won myself a wonderful ESL Maxnomic 2.0 Gaming Chair from Kwese Gamer at the rAge Expo. This year rAge Expo was wonderful for me as I also won the Adata 1TB portable HDD for my keeping my photographs safe. After been a part of Canon Roadshows for more than 4 years, my daughter won the Selphy Printer this time and she was really happy. Other than that there were some Gift Vouchers which also came my way as a part of goodies bag from several brands or the online contests won. On my birthday this year, my friend from TechSmart Magazine Robin Leigh gifted me Sony Xperia Ear which I have fallen in love with. Sony gave a good gift this time when they launched their new devices locally and I totally loved the Extra Bass headphones in Red color. 

I can't thank enough The Life's Way for opening up a platform where I can win things or receive them in a goodies bag. I am Thankful for all the social media channels and my presence on them allows me to participate in all the lovely contests throughout the year. Looking forward to a great 2018 where I will start my Youtube channel and trying to earn a living out of The Life's Way!

Cheers!!!

20 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Modesty

Hi Friends, 

#Modesty

Modesty is not the virtue one should possess these days in the world of social media. It's the least respected virtue in the world wide web. The more loud you are the more your followers will increase. People love gossips and the more you give them the more they love you for the same. I have stayed modest for most of the time and do my own work when I am invited to any events. But now I see that the PR companies are biased towards those who show off and just say stuff to say it. I will bring that element of Charm back in The Life's Way as it was worn off beacuse of the expectations burden set by my mind. 

Whenver in my life I have felt proud and acted proud, I have been shown the floor by the Universe. I don't want to do it as my experience of being proud has always been bad. It's always been my principle to stay humble and stay grounded and connected to your roots. But I can bring in my charm to create some great opportunities which can bring a lot of benefit to my blog and other social media channels. It's confusing me a lot to go one way and getting dragged the other when I talk about modesty. But as a Salesman of my blog and other social media channels, I have to be proud of my achievement whatsoever and sell my product at the value it deserves in the market. There shall be no undersell of the same as it requires time and efforts to complete the tasks and it brings a lot of benefit to the brand and PR companies. 

20 days and my blog will complete 5 years and believe me in those years, I have been granted a lot by the Almighty Lord and Universe. I am happy too for all the experiences and stuff I have received in my life but not so happy about the brands which have used me for free. But I am sure in the future that I create so much value for myself and The Life's Way that people will have to pay twice the amount I was asking earlier to get them covered on my social media channels. That's a wish I would like to fulfill in 2018 with my hard work and focussed approach on all my channels. Also, I am looking forward to start my Youtube channel and let's see how it goes and what I have to say on the same. 

Cheers!!!

21 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Wonderful

Hi Friends, 

#Wonderful

The Life's Way has received some genuine appreciations from many of the brands and PR companies. Just received one of the compliments from one of the managers saying that her job is easy because I have been posting her press releases and it gets shared so much on all my social media channels. I have done all that for that brand for free and I thanked her but I do need money to survive and invest back in my blog. The topic is Wonderful as I am amazed by the power of social media and blog. It can help you create your own entrepreneurial adventures and you can earn from the same. So many in this trade has become big celebrities or authors or TV artists now. They are well respected because they followed their heart and creating content which is liked by everyone else and people love to see the passionate living. 

I love some of the posts I have written myself to earn myself a status of amazement what my mind can create. I have created and weaved many stories in my mind and on my blog several times. I have also won several twitter and facebook contests because of my story creating mind. I know what to write to win the same and rest depends on the luck. If someone luckier than you are participating then you won't win else if your content is great, you will definitely win the same. My mind is tuned to work towards winning in contests automatically. I have benefitted myself several times as I catch all the keywords related to contests etc whereas other people don't see them. 

Blogging has given me so many trips, invites, goodies that it keeps me amazed at what is in store for me next? I always have to keep on creating new dreams as then only I can fulfill them. Whatever I think I need in my life, my blog or my other social media channels help it get fulfilled automatically after a time gap. I am so grateful to Universe for the same too as I totally believe in Law of Attraction principle. On the 5th anniversary month of The Life's Way, I dream of fulfilling all my unfulfilled dreams which have given me sleepless nights till now. I will create a stronger aura for them to also come to me sooner than later. I thank everyone who has worked with me in the past and will work with me in the new years as I continue to soar high in the sky.

Cheers!!!

22 Days To www.TheLifesWay.com 5th Birthday Celebrations #5YearsofTheLifesWay #27Dec2017 #Tenacious

Hi Friends,

#Tenacious

Blogging is not an easy task as it always needs time and resource to fulfill the ongoing requirements of the niche segment you work in. Even if you are posting Press releases then also it takes at least some time to match the look and feel of your blog. I always need photos in all my posts so it takes a lot of time to post the same even. Also, if the same press release is on all other blogs too then you are not differentiating and also it's a favor to the brand and to maintain the relationship you have to do the same. 

Tenacity is a virtue which needs a lot of effort to carry on without getting demotivated. I really have evolved from the time when I was devoting my 100% on The Life's Way but as it has happened a lot of PR companies have benefitted without my personal benefits. So it's getting back to basics and only post what you want to do and write about. It might bring you fewer followers and readers but if your content is authentic then the brands will come after you sooner or later. Also, the second best part will be the less expectation you will have from the brand or the PR company as you do only what you are paid for. I don't want to fall into the trap of getting more pageviews by wasting my time on the brands which don't value me. I have sent them multiple requests so many times but not got any response so now onwards I will only do what I want to do for those brands and that won't be free at all. 

It needs certain thought daily and gives unfulfilled expectations if you are not able to do it. I get irritated by myself if I am unable to complete the tasks I set myself for. It gets reflected in my daily life and what for? for some free looking PR companies and for stuff which I never wanted in the first place or some invite where I have to buy the cold drinks myself. There have been instances that I only could drink water or bought coca-cola by giving my own personal money after spending on petrol and parking too without any goodies bag too at the end. This is such a waste of time if you think that I could have invested that time playing some games with my daughter or teaching her mathematics. I will totally avoid such events from now onwards and that's the first resolution to take in 2018!

Cheers!!!

Product Review - @Kinivo BTE40 - Bluetooth Stereo Earphones

Hi Guys,

Bluetooth devices have taken the digital world by storm. Each and every brand is producing some nice gadgets having the latest Bluetooth capabilities to enhance the customer's experience of rich sound and less battery consumption. Kinivo has been such brand that has always kept itself in the loop to produce some amazing gadgets at value for money proposition not only for themselves but also for the end users.

Kinivo BTE40 Bluetooth In-Ear Headset is designed to provide high quality audio wirelessly from Bluetooth capable devices. This device can be also be used to transform your home speaker system into a Bluetooth sound system with the BTE40 3.5mm audio output port. You can connect the BTE40's stereo output to your home theater and stream music from your smartphone or tablet. The BTE40 Bluetooth In-Ear Headset is ideal for listening to music wirelessly on the go from your phone or music player. The device has all the manual controls for your easy access to play, change and pause the songs as well as calling and accepting voice calls.

Kinivo BTE40 is very similar to Sony MW600 which I reviewed earlier in some of it's features. Kinivo BTE40 has micro-usb charging which is common these days for all the android phones and accessories. It helps as you need not carry any extra cable for charging the device. The best part is that it can be used with any of your costly headphones and to turn your car's speakers into bluetooth also. 

The device has red and blue LED lights to indicate low battery & charging status. The device gets charged fully  between 2-3 hours and gives battery output of more than 5 hours of continuous music play. You can easily control your music player directly from the headset with functions such as play, pause, next & previous track, and volume controls. The buttons are easy to press and works perfectly great.

On-Off switch on the side helps to save battery when the device is not in use. Kinivo has been a front-runner in making some nice devices for everyday use. BTE40 comes with two auxiliary cords (long and short) to match all your needs. Also the package contains a pair of earphones with once cord longer than the other one to go behind your neck but there are no extra pair of ear plugs of different sizes. The charging cable is provided in the package.

The earphones that comes in the package are nice to use and will go a long way in your day to day usage. For better sound quality and performance, you can use your higher end earphones from brands like Sennheiser and Beats using it's 3.5mm audio output port. 

The user can easily switch between calls and music using this BTE40 as it comes with noise cancellation microphone. Also, it can be connected to two simultaneous bluetooth devices for example it can be connected to your video player on your tablet as well as receive call from your smartphone.

There is an app for iOS devices called "Bluetooth Battery Meter" which shows the remaining battery capacity for this BTE40 main controller. All Kinivo devices come with a warranty of 1 year. 

Keep an eye on Kinivo products if you are considering buying some bluetooth gadgets to enhance your audio experience at value for customer prices.  

Cheers!!!

Indiblogger & TimesofIndia -The Great Indian Litterburg

Hi Guys,

We are the creatures made of habits and many times habits govern us a lot. When it’s our country, where we have all the freedom to do whatever we never think what we are doing? Some habits like pissing on the walls, throwing stuff anywhere and everywhere is an irony to that same person at his own home walks barefoot and not allows sandals to also come inside. Isn't our city the place where our home is? Isn't it the nation we want to build for our children? Every action has its own reaction time and someday sooner or later it will all come back to us.

What can we do? Is it just laughing when Kapil Sharma comments about the same on his Comedy Nights or just agreeing to when our Prime Minister sweeps the streets himself? What happens to us when we are in Singapore on our honeymoon and takes care of even a toffee packaging to be thrown properly to a dustbin? Is it the fear of fine or the respect we have for other nations? What is the reality behind human mind is still not known to me?

I am thinking of what I can do to achieve the same only and that’s the only thing every citizen has to take care of. We just need to take care that we don’t add to the list of people throwing stuff here and there. Automatically with everyone’s decision to change them, the whole nation will be moved to be the best in the world. Foreigners who come here learn all these things and do the same which they will not even dare to do in their countries. It’s our responsibility to let them know that we do have Ahimsa and Forgiveness as our virtues and we do teach Yoga to the world but at no time our great nations can be a dumping ground for anyone.  

As Rabindranath Tagore said, “Every time a child is born, it brings in a new hope that God has not yet disappointed with man” we also need to start learning our duties along with our children. We also need to study those Civics and Social studies book that we have long forgotten to keep our community, city and country clean. We all want to live in posh localities but can’t we make every locality clean and worth living. I have taken a pledge to clean my home of all the stuff my daughter throws away and as she sees me cleaning it, she will automatically learn one day that garbage needs to go in dustbin. I am the caretaker of my home, my community, my locality, my area, my city and my country and so are you!

Think about the same and come forward to help government and media drive this nationwide campaign and learn more at - http://greatindian.timesofindia.com/ 

The banner is from the Indiblogger campaign for Times of India. 
We do want to project that we do respect our country and will take all the efforts to make it the best in the World!

Cheers!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Dec 2013

Hi Guys,

Last year in Dec 2013, I didn't blogged for whole of Nov and my Indiblogger rank dropped considerably due to non activity. I went back to India and posted some of the Product review posts about some of the latest gadgets that I won between Nov and Dec 2013. It was my second month in Johannesburg and I visited several places and made some great friends.

1. Product Review - Sony Wireless Speaker SRS-BTV5 with NFC & Bluetooth- This great bluetooth speaker I won from @SonyPix twitter contest on #Skyfall and totally loved it since then. I still am using the same and liked the volume and sound clarity these small speakers produce. 

2. Product Review - LG HBS-700 Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset - This is one great device which my brother bought from USA for himself and I totally loved the design and comfort of these headsets from LG. These headsets Vodacom here is giving for free with LG G3 mobile phones. The deal is totally worth it because of the headsets. 

3. Product Review - Logitech Mini Boombox - This is the only prizes my wife has won for her blog post on one of the Indiblogger meet contest. The sound is impressive and loud. The size of the speaker is perfect for a picnic and produced great sound with bass. Thanks to Indiblogger & ZeeTV for such an awesome prize. 

4. Product Review - Amazon Kindle 3G Keyboard - When Kindle got launched it revolutionized the market and everyone who loves reading was looking for the device. There was a huge discussion between paper and digital editions as everyone has their own favorite. But fact remained that Kindle is a powerful device which has grown over the years and taken digital media to a new level. I totally loved this device and has been reading on it for years now. 

5. Product Review - Sennheiser HD 280 Pro - Over the ear Headphones  

Product Review - Harman Kardon CL Headphones

Headphones being my first love, I always try to review as many as I can find, buy or lend from friends and family. My brother got Sennheiser HD280 which were heavy to wear but produces amazing sound quality. I got my friend to buy Harman Kardon in sale and he totally loved them till the time, he got BOSE in another sale next season. 

The year 2013 ended on a high note as I won many contests during the whole year and received a lot of prizes. The amount of time spent is also huge to win those gifts and goodies. I totally enjoyed it but if I look at it now, I won't be spending that much time ever again on those twitter contests. It's an addiction which grows if you start winning and then you don't want to lose ever in any of the contest. 

Cheers!!!
