New Year Resolutions - Week 28 Achievements & Failures #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends,

Week 28 has been the one I have been waiting for the last many years since I started my YouTube Channel and started posting content on the same. The race was all towards completing 1000 subscribers and completing 4000 watch hours to apply towards the YouTube Partners Program and finally that came true on 10-July-2022 when I completed the same. I applied and by 12-Jul-22 I was accepted into the program as well. Thank You, YouTube!

Week 28 - Sat 09 Jul 2022 - Fri 15 Jul 2022

1. Walking -  This week I did around 19 kilometres and the total to date is 563 kilometres. I showed a lot of grit and determination in the month of June-22. I am sure I will pick the same during the rest of this month too. 

2. Books/Audiobooks - I completed 2 books which I read on my Kindle Paperwhite. One was The Monk Who Became Chief Minister - Shantanu Gupta which is a compilation of Yogi Adityanath, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh news articles, interviews and speeches. It's a fast read if you have already been listening to news and rallies speeches. The second book was a small booklet by Omar Johnson - Money Magnet which is a half an hour read and you can gain some understanding of the world of Law of Attraction. I also started reading Lashkar by Mukul Deva and totally forgot about it afterwards so will complete the same during the course of next week or later. 

3. YOUTUBE Monetization - The best part of this week was getting approved as a YouTube Partner to earn money from putting ads on all my videos. Some videos could be monetized and some not. I also observed that YouTube Shorts which doesn't have any music embedded can also be marked for monetization. There may not be any money coming out of YouTube Shorts but there is a Shorts Fund which can give you some money if any of your videos gets viral. I am not so sure which one will and whether that will belong to me but I am hopeful that someday it will. I earned my first USD from YouTube but you can only withdraw once you have more than 100 USD accumulated and it's only with your support I will achieve that. 

4. Entertainment - I started watching another marvel created by TVF in their new web series named Saas Bahu Achaar Pvt Ltd and experiencing the power of Mahadev Lord Shiva myself. If you speak the word Mahadev again and again, you will feel the sensation in your whole body which I have never tried earlier myself. But when I tried it gave me a lot of awareness about my whole existence. Coming back to the Zee5 web series which stars Amruta Subhash, Anup Soni, and Anjana Sukhani is a must-watch in terms of acting and the emotional side it touches on a person on her entrepreneurial journey. 

5. Launch Events - I went to two events for Tastic Rice where they celebrated the Legacy Education Fund and the students who got the bursaries. It does changes the lives of those who make the best use of the fund to further their education. It benefits all of humankind with one person who gets educated getting to enlighten the world of many. Another one I attended was for Mandela Day where we worked towards packaging the meal for Rise Against Hunger charity whether we packed more than 17 boxes with each box having 36 meal packets. We even got nice tastic rice to cook at the end of the event for ourselves. 

Going to the office is leaving me with very less time for the social media platforms but I am sneaking in some time from travel and other necessary cut off I can do to achieve the ongoing 1 post per day on any of the platforms. 

WEEK 27

Cheers!!!

Unboxing The Tastic Education Fund Goodies @TasticRiceSA #60YearsOfTastic #MoreThanJustRice #PerfectPartnership

Hi Friends, 

I was invited to the Tastic Education Fund launch event in Rosebank and received these amazing goodies bags. This was my first ever with the brand and I really enjoyed the amazing vegetarian dish the chef made at the event. It had all the right flavours and spices which really made me happy. Also, DJ Zinhle played some awesome beats which made everyone shake their legs and body a little bit. Let's unbox the same and enjoy the goodies! Not to forget the amazing art that was showcased to be auctioned later for funding the Tastic Education for some deserving candidates is an amazing corporate social responsibility which we shall vouch for. 

Immediately I gave the Tastic Rice 2kg pack to my kid's Nanny and kept the Apron to be given to the great cooks in our family and friends. The wooden stick will be used at home as I bought a pack of three from China Mall some days back and they are really useful while making Indian vegetable curries and dry veggies too. I got a pack of 3 at Decorax in Gallagher Convention Centre from Electrolux many years back which really was utilized before I bought some from China Mall.

Celebrating The Spirit of Generousity Through The Tastic Education Fund #60YearsOfTastic #MoreThanJustRice #PerfectPartnership @tasticricesa

Hi Friends, 

At the beginning of 2021, Tastic in collaboration with Laduma Ngxokolo was able to raise over R730 000.00 which benefited 30 deserving tertiary students in need of assistance towards their tertiary fees, living up to the true brand purpose of true generosity. In celebration of 60years of perfect partnership, Tastic has partnered continue the Tastic Education fund in a bid to aid tertiary students to quality education. This year Tastic and Mukheli twins (in collaboration with and Sthu Manaka who form part of the Art My Loves, a movement which educates the market, enables art lovers, fans and collectors’ access to their work), aims to raise up to R 1 000 000,00 in the bid to afford 60 deserving students in 2021 to have access to quality education through the Tastic fund. This was launched through an intimate art exhibition at the home of fine art and tasteful culinary experiences, Rosebank.

The robust art collection which comprised of the Trio’s work will be exhibited at the heart of Rosebank on Trumpet on Keyes from the 18th November till 9th December where it will then be auctioned and sold. Proceeds from the auction will go towards continuing the Tastic Legacy Educational fund that will enable deserving students who lack funding for higher education

“When producing this body of work we were influenced by a number of factors that aided us to narrate authentic African stories that will encourage giving in abundance such as graffiti, street art, pop art and graphic design. My brother Justice is known for creating intellectually and emotionally dense art and films, where as I love creating illustrative portraiture. Sthu Manaka’s contemporary paintings were really the perfect ingredient to completing this collection as we continue to revolutionise the creative space by partnering with brands such as Tastic. Says fine art designer Fhatuwani Mukheli

“We are truly honoured to be part of a campaign that will be giving young children much like ourselves at the time the opportunity to chase their dreams and expand their capabilities further without finances being a problem. We encourage the public to visit the Tastic exhibition at the Trumpet building to be inspired and form part of our journey by owning a piece from this phenomenal collection ” Says Photographer and creative entrepreneur Justice Mukheli.

“Perfect partnerships have enabled us to express our brand purpose as a way of cementing the legacy of Tastic in the spaces where we can make tangible differences in the lives of our consumers. Partnering with the Mukheli twins will showcase once again that we are all about paying it forward for our people, not just with the rice but through taking it beyond the functional base of our brand and contributing towards education” says Thembi Sehloho Marketing Director for Rice and Pasta at Tiger Brands.

Details of how the people can rally with Tastic and The Art My Loves movement to make their pledge towards exuding the true spirit of generosity will be posted on the brands official Instagram and Facebook pages.
