A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Sep 2015 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys, 

September is start of the Spring in Johannesburg and it's the best weather to go around and see the city with Jacaranda flowers blooming and making it all purple. I love Johannesburg more than London because of the weather and opportunity to drive around the country. September last year at The Life's Way was more of smartphones launches and other movie events which I was part of. 

1. Mate S: @HuaweiZA Luxurious Smartphone unveiled #IFA2015 - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/09/mate-s-huaweiza-luxurious-smartphone.html - Mate S was launched in between Mate 7 and Mate 8 model by Huawei. The price was too high for this smartphone that it became just a holding device to target someone looking for something other than iPhone 6Plus. I have created so much content for Huawei South Africa but got no smartphone to keep or any paid assignment that now I have to rethink about my love for them. Huawei also launched their smartwatch.

2. Spring Clean your #Android Smartphone #HTCOneLifeSA - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/09/spring-clean-your-android-smartphone.html - HTC has been my favourite device since the start and when HTC One M7 was launched, I chose to buy that leaving behind my love for the S-pen in Samsung Note 2. HTC gifted me M8 on my birthday 22 July in 2015 which was a review device but a gift is a gift and I am so grateful to the brand. 

3. Get Snap Happy #HTCOneLifeSA #Android Smartphone Apps - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/09/get-snap-happy-htconelifesa-android.html - Smartphone apps can help the mobile camera pictures you took look amazingly awesome. I have been using them a lot to share my content on my instagram.com/araijain channel and on my photography blog "Photo Yatra".

4. @CapitecBankSA brings even more colour to #CapitecColorRun in #Jozi - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/09/capitecbanksa-brings-even-more-colour.html - Fitness is the biggest business all over the world because all materialistic things stays here if your health is lost. Road running is one of the best things you can do in South Africa as every weekend there will be some new race events happening with a small fees requiring your running license. No matter who the sponsors are but every one is happy to be involved and get a medal at the end of the race with some goodies bags thrown in. 

5. The more you travel, more miles you earn @Citibank #PremierMilesCard #India - http://www.thelifesway.com/2015/09/the-more-you-travel-more-miles-you-earn.html - Generally we get press releases and post the same with little or no changes. I don't get any payment to post them as it's about relationship with the PR company but when you have to write the content, I want to get paid for the same. Indiblogger and Blogadda has been my start to earn some gift vouchers and buying stuff with those gift vouchers will give me extreme happiness. 

In life, no matter where you are, you can always stay positive and hopeful to bring you what you want and what you deserve. I sometime feel down or demotivated but then I feel grateful for "The Life's Way" as to what it has brought for me in my life. I have been to many places, done many things, received unlimited gift and goodies due to the same. I continue to attract more and more brands as they shower their love when they see the passion and returns I give them on social media content sharing. I still have some long wish list which I will get from The Life's Way for sure!!!

Cheers!!!

@CapitecBankSA brings even more colour to #CapitecColorRun in #Jozi

Hi Guys,

Capitec Bank, headline sponsor of The Color Run in South Africa, has announced that it will add even more colour to the festivities in Johannesburg on 20th September this year. To spread happiness throughout the city, well-known local artist Crystal Birch has been commissioned to create a giant, colourful Macau parrot at the entrance to the Neighbourgoods Market in, Braamfontein.

Jozi residents have been eagerly awaiting the ‘happiest 5km on the planet’, which will take place from Roosevelt High School near Emmarentia Dam. The Color Run is an un-timed race in which thousands of participants, or ‘Color Runners’, are doused from head to toe in different colours at each kilometre.

“Capitec Bank, like The Color Run, believes in health, happiness, individuality, freedom of expression, living life in technicolour, having fun and being YOU,” says Charl Nel, head of communications at Capitec Bank. “At Capitec Bank we encourage equality and respect of different individuals, which is why we have one banking solution & service offering that every client is able to access.”

He says that, to add a fun element and bring some colour to a grey space in Johannesburg, Birch will create a series of small Macau Parrots, using a style called ‘wheat paste,’ leading you to the entrance of the market where the large parrot will be revealed. One wing of the parrot will arch across the archway, across to the opposite wall in colourful strips of colour.

Birch started working on her installation on 8th September and completed it on the 11th September. Throughout both weeks, Jozi residents were invited to talk about and share the artwork and its progress on social media using the hashtag #CapitecColorRun.

Says the artist: “I chose the parrot as it is my alter-ego, a free-flying bird. And it is colourful and loud! I would like a giant, bright, free bird to fly in the concrete jungle of Jozi, representing freedom and a bold self. The colourful wings of the Macau should inspire people to break free and express themselves. Visitors to the market will see a parrot spiral above them like a rainbow of WOW,” she says.

Cheers!!!
