A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Jan 2014

Hi Guys,

Jan 2014 was the time when I was fully here in South Africa and has to remain here until the next holidays comes in Dec 2014. I was still getting my Internet connection sorted as I could not get something which can give me unlimited data at cheaper price. I started posting some photographs which I clicked to maintain my Indiblogger rank.

1. Photo Walk - Gardens of the Nature - I started sharing some of the photographs of flowers which I clicked across various places and countries. This is one of the walks that I would love to take whenever I have time and camera with me. This is a series of posts which will continue this year too. Have a look!

2. Moments of Silence - We went to Drankensburg National Park and I clicked this bird which is equivalent to Indian sparrow and posted the same with a catchy title.

3. Pattern – Light and Shades / Divinity in Colours / Star in a haystack / Peacock Dancing on Bhajans

- Another photo posts.

4. Social Apps impact on Indian General Elections 2014 - Indiblogger & WeChat contest in which I participated but couldn't make it to the winner's list. 

5. Indiblogger Sunsilk - Recharging my hairs and life! - Another Indiblogger contest with Sunsilk but didn't make it to the winner's list. It was a huge disappointment for me as I was not able to win any contest in Jan from a place where I was winning a lot many prizes the previous year. 

As new year starts, we all make some resolutions and my resolution was to work on my blog and made a goal to cross 100,000 pageviews using 500 blogposts by 31 Dec 2014. I was still looking to get some 100 pageviews per day at that time and it seemed like a huge task for which I had to plan and execute. 

The Journey to achieve this goal continues in the next posts...

Cheers!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - April 2013

Hi Guys,

I always wanted to share what has been the stepping stone to my blog and what happened in this particular month last year. It's only today I got the inspiration to actually create and write one and from not onwards it will be a monthly feature where I share my good posts and what happened with those posts. It's a sharing of journey as I can now connect the dots looking backwards.

April 2013 was the month when I was an approved member of Indiblogger community and started writing for their various contests and Indimeets. They organized various meets in April and as I started blogging only to be a part of Indiblogger community, I was very much excited to join all of those meets and make a lot of friends in those meets. It was one of those months when I got serious about pursuing this hobby to blog on www.thelifesway.com and bought this domain also with the help of a friend Murtaza Ali from ApotpourriofVestiges whom I met at my first Indimeet.

1. Sunsilk Perfect Straight - Gentleman's Experience - It was my first Indistuff contest entry on Indiblogger community. Receiving free shampoos to write about was a lovely experience. My family members still miss this shampoo. 

2. My tryst with Indiblogger Microsoft Office 365 - It was my first Indiblogger meet at Delhi. I kept my tweets going for the day and finally at the end of the day, I came home with Rs 1500 cash along with Microsoft Arc mouse, Indiblogger tshirt and a lot of memories. It felt really great to meet the whole Indiblogger team and meet a lot of other fellow bloggers. 

3. #HPCONNECTEDMUSIC - Me Myself and Music- This was the most defining post of my life as I won the HP laptop for writing about the music I love. We all love music and I love Bollywood music a lot. HP appreciated it by making this post won their prestigious Sleekbook with Windows8 and Connected Music subscription for an year. I still remember writing this post and asking my friends to read it and provide comments. They didn't liked my song choice but I was adamant to keep what I love in there. I think that paid off and I got the amazing new laptop.

4.  My Dream Business – The Microsoft Office 365 Way - Microsoft launched another contest after Indimeet to write about your dream business using Office 365 package. I won the runner up prize and received free Office 365 package and also an invite to see one of their event at The Lalit Hotel in Delhi. This at that time gave me immense happiness to be recognized from many brands and companies. 

5. Soldier for Women - What I learned from my dad?- I also became member of Blogadda and wrote several contest posts with sure shot vouchers and prizes. This is one of those entries and even before participating in Indiblogger meets and contests, Blogadda sent me a book RIP to review along with a personally signed letter from their CEO Nirav. It really meant a lot and I have treasured that letter in my file at home. Some other entries for the same contest are Soldier for Women - It's us all - Father of daughters!

& Soldier for Women - Guards at our offices

All other posts are simply about all the contests I won on twitter and facebook and the goodies I received during that month. Twitter gave me an opportunity to test myself with a lot of other young people playing all the contests. I do miss those contests now as I am not able to play them and win.

Cheers!!!

Indiblogger & Sunsilk - Naturally Recharged

Hi Guys!

 

Moving forward from the last years post when I was introduced to using shampoo and conditioner while having a bath by Sunsilk and it was a great learning curve since then. I have been on a roller coaster ride doing stuff I have never done in my life. As I am cooking for myself here in South Africa, I realised that several of the veggies I am cutting for the very first time in my 33 years of existence on planet Earth.

 

But yeah, I have always been lazy to use two packages i.e. Shampoo and then Conditioner. But with the change of habits, I really enjoy opening the shampoo which gives a great wash and really like the Conditioner which gave less foam but the hairs after the wash was so soft and silky shining that I did really fall in love with my hairs. For the best of the silky feel, now I always apply conditioner and it’s was worth it guys!

 

Sunsilk was never my brand till last year as I was lost in the big names of Dove, Garnier, Pantene etc and their advt mainly caught my eyes and ears for quite some time. It was only during the promotions of Race 2 bollywood movie I saw the advertisements of Sunsilk. Also during that time they launched 4 types of shampoo’s in collaboration with hair experts from all over the world.

 

Indiblogger has been a favourite of the Sunsilk brand to reach a lot of people through blog posts and word of mouth. This time we got another great product from the house of  Sunsilk in a great basket. The shampoo is named Sunsilk Natural Recharge and this time it is in collaboration with hair stylist and expert Jamal Hammadi. As per the pack it gives 5 times stronger hairs and with Ginseng plant root extracts brings out a great product.

 

This product is marketed for those who are very adventurous and loved their hairs also. The shampoo is really awesome and has a good fragrance. This shampoo has really made me forgot about the earlier version of Sunsilk Silky shampoo I was using. This is much better than the earlier versions and you will definitely like to retain your natural hairs and this shampoo will help us all to do so. So now when someone says that my hairs will be spoilt, if I go on off-roading or hiking, we know where to refer her to.

 

I would really like to thank Sunsilk and Indiblogger for giving me a chance to see the true value to having naturally recharged hair.

Cheers!!!

Indiblogger Sunsilk - Recharging my hairs and life!

Hi All,

Sunsilk has brought back the memories I had of my school and engineering college days when you want to look best and hairs was one of the thing that could make all the difference in your looks. Spending most of the time discussing with friends about your hairstyle and clothing was the best time pass other than wooing girls. I don’t think of any brand that I have missed in this pursuit to get good shiny and silky hairs flowing freely in the air as I walked and run. The whole motive was to look presentable and smart.

The best way to recharge your hairs is by giving it a good wash with Shampoo and then Conditioner. It really gives you a clean scalp and nice silky hairs. I have seen many a times when we travel and a lot of dusts enters our hairs and it starts uneasiness in the head. At those moments we only want a good hair wash rather than itching our scalp.

Recharging my hairs is my top most priority till the time I have them on my head and once moon starts shining on my head then it will be another set of problems that I will face. I want to enjoy the time that I feel whenever I touch my hairs and it really gives me a self esteem boost that still I look young because I took care.

Yes, hairs do recharge your life because you always have the liberty to change your hairstyle and look different. You can adopt NDA cadet look to the hippy look to the boy next door look or the Corporate look with silver lining on your hairs. Also you can adopt Chankaya’s look at any point of time, or whenever you visit Tirupati Balaji Temple.

A lot of my life decisions is based on my hairs when every month I visit barbar shop. They too try to sell their services and gives you various ideas as to which will suit your face cut etc. But overall I feel recharged whenever I go through the process of taking care of my hairs and Sunsilk do help me improve my hairs and keep them shining.

Thanks!!! Cheers!!!

Sunsilk Perfect Straight - Gentleman's Experience

Hi Guys!

Sunsilk Perfect Straight

The very first time I received the package meant for ladies and thought to give it a try myself even before my mom or wife used the shampoo and conditioner. I have always been lazy to use two packages i.e. Shampoo and then Conditioner. Too lazy to open a bottle and a tube while bathing but let me tell you that I really liked when I opened both of them. The shampoo gives a great wash but what I really liked the silky Conditioner which gave less foam but the hairs after the wash was so soft and silky shining that I did really fall in love with my hairs. It took effort to wash the silky feel conditioner but it was worth it guys! I did tried the shampoo without using the conditioner but the effect was not that great when you use it with the conditioner. I am totally in love with opening the tube and the bottle now during bathing.

 

Thought there is no demarcation in terms of Shampoo's that this is being made for gents and that for ladies leaving some niche targeted segment ones which I am unaware off totally. Coming back to the Sunsilk Purple bottles really was finished in a couple of days as I loved to shampoo it daily or whenever I bathed considering it was winters..so leaving aside a day or two in between baths doesn't hurt :-) I loved touching my hairs once it is dry and it feels so soft to touch and feels silky bliss on your head. I don't know but I am begging to please send more bottles down my address else I will be spending a lot of money on them in my years to live!

Overall these Sunsilk Perfect Shampoo and Conditioner bottles are awesomely great and really brings out the silky hairs which you love on screen and in real life. It really reminds me of my trip to Singapore where I really loved the hairs of all the young guys which were flowing freely in the air and now the same has been brought to India for Indians to shine! I really used to wonder seeing all the Chinese/Singaporean guys/gals how they get their silky hairs and I am really grateful to Sunsilk Expert - Yuko Yamashita for giving us all an opportunity to have our hairs like them too! Now I have their secrets too in my hands thought it's an empty bottle now! In my next grocery shopping Sunsilk Perfect shampoo bottle tops my list.

I would really like to thank Indiblogger for giving us all a chance to see the true value of straight & silky hair & some of the great bloggers will be getting the devices of their likings in their competition to write the best review of the product. I have really become a fan of Indiblogger as they give all a great & equal chance to all the bloggers to test and use the product along with the contest to get more out of the products! Looking forward to contribute further in their these ventures with great sponsors! Thanks a lot!
