New Year Resolutions - Week 17 Achievements & Failures in 2023 #TheLifesWay

Hi Guys,

Week 17 is the last week of the month of April 2023 and there are some events I was looking forward to like the Monster Jam as it was going to happen after a long long while. 

1. Entertainment - I watched Kisi ka bhai, kisi ki Jaan movie starring Salman Khan and Pooja Hegde. I liked the film as something that doesn't need your mind and can just laugh fully at the dialogue and the screenplay. Other than that I watched some episodes of The Kapil Sharma Show and nothing else. 

2. Thank You - I started from 24000 onwards to reach and cross the 48000 mark. This is one of the practices that you must follow every day of your life. 

3. Events - Monster Jam this year I enjoyed with the whole family. It took a lot of time to enter the parking and then to reach the stadium. The sound quality on the upper deck was not right as we could not hear anything properly. Last time I sat just near the ground and could listen to everything being told on the mics. 

I also attended the Solar Expo event at Sandton Convention Centre and got so many diaries and other items that will remain with me for some time as I love different notepads and writing instruments. 

Salary Day is also an event that only happens once every month. Also, I attended one YT Shorts event online. 

4. Holiday Week - This week we had a shorter week as Thursday was a holiday. Many people took leave on Friday to make it an extra long weekend. 

5. YouTube - Another big event that happened in my life was the threshold of another USD 100 crossed last month and I got the second payment from YouTube this week. It's less than the previous one but at least I got something. I felt really happy and appreciative of all your views that are fetching me all the dollars. Only 1 video is contributing to most of the dollar amount that I did an app review. I have made a target that the next payment should come by the 1st anniversary of the channel being monetized on 12-Jul-23 or by the end of July-23. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

Thanks a lot to all the viewers and readers of my social media channels and Youtube channel. I could reach here just because of your views and likes. 

Aum Namah Shivay!

Till next time...Aashish

Thanks! Cheers!!!

A Memoir - This Month Last Year - Aug 2020 www.thelifesway.com #TheLifesWay

Hi Friends, 

August 2020 was very hectic as I joined a project for an Australian client from here and the work timings were really hectic. Some of the days I have worked for more than 18 hours or so and it was always sleepy but somehow I had the energy from the lockdown level to concentrate despite so many demanding circumstances. I also thought that I will start my life again in Australia or maybe visit the country using this chance but it didn't work out in the end. 

1. As it was the time of watching a lot of movies on the weekends and also reviewing the same as I had the unlimited energy to share the same with my readers - 

#TheLifesWayReviews LOOTCASE @DisneyplusHSVIP #Movies #Lootcase #Comedy
#TheLifesWayReviews NAUKAR VAHUTI DA @PrimeVideoIN #Punjabi #Comedy #Movie
#TheLifesWayReviews SHAKUNTALA DEVI @PrimeVideoIN #Biography #Drama #Movie
#TheLifesWayReviews - RAAT AKELI HAI @NetflixSA #Movie #Crime #RaatAkeliHai
#TheLifesWayReviews - DOOR KE DARSHAN @NetflixSA #Movie #Comedy #DoorDarshan
#TheLifesWayReviews - GUNJAN SAXENA The Kargil Girl @NetflixSA #Movie #Biography
#TheLifesWayReviews - CLASS OF '83 @NetflixSA #Crime #Movie #ClassOf83

Some of the web series and movies launched during the lockdown around the world really kept audiences glued to their TV, tablet or mobile screens and I have watched most on my smartphone at 1.5x or speeds of that kind because I can't wait for music to play out when you have so much of content to watch and review. 

2. Time To Learn Smartwatch #FisherPriceSmartWatch @FisherPrice @Mattel
Introducing #Thomas&FriendsSA Track Master #ThomasDieselTunnel Blast @FisherPrice

Reyansh suffered from a drop from the office chair which we bought recently and hurt his chin where he needed more than 5-6 stitches and it was after my insurance was not there as my deputation ended in South Africa. It was really hectic to see him suffer and it was all blood. The hospital didn't allow us to enter to only one person as the covid protocols were in place. It was really a hectic evening and I was not happy to see my kid crying a lot to the point where I just took out my jacket in distress as I walked towards the hospital without any in the cold winters of the season. But somehow these Mattel toys came in for review and he was very happy to play with them. You can see the band-aid on his chin in all these pictures. 

3. Introducing #KeishaAndYou Youtube Channel by Keisha #TheLifesWay 

Unboxing #BarbieColorReveal from @Mattel #KeishaAndYou
Unboxing #CloudeesSA from @Mattel #KeishaAndYou #TheLifesWay

Keisha started her Youtube channel and started doing some unboxing videos and toys review on her channel. She did a lot of videos but currently today, the channel has been sitting idle as she is not getting time from her studies. Soon I will start the shooting and post more on her channel. 

4. #TheLifesWayReviews - @Sandisk SSD Plus 480GB #SSDPlus #SolidStateDrive - I received this review unit of the SSD which didn't worked despite using all the casings I had and it didn't work in plug and play mode for me. I even sent the company a request to sponsor me the device but still I have not received any update on my proposal. I am sure it's a no as the other bloggers have received the better versions of the devices to keep.

5. Getting Introduced to the #SamsungNote20Ultra at Virtual #SamsungEvent #Unpacked2020 @SamsungMobileSA  - It was a great affair to join the team at the virtual Samsung Event after a long time and it was my first in many years. Not only I got to enjoy the devices after the launch events at the experience zone but I also won myself a Samsung Note 20 device. It was a great upgrade from my Samsung Note 8 which I bought in 2018 at the birth of my son Reyansh from Amazon India. I am really grateful to the Samsung Electronics for making me a winner. 

I really loved the month of August because of my win of a Galaxy device and it was wonderful to receive one and start using one. I have been taking a lot of pictures using the device and totally in love with the flat design of the screen. Sometimes Universe has great plans for you and you should be always grateful for those opportunities that it present to make it your own. 

Cheers!!!

#TheLifesWay on @Youtube #MyYearInReview 2020 @GoogleAfrica #Youtuber

 Hi Friends, 

2020 saw an increase on Youtube as I thought of moving from writing blog posts to video creations but this process is still in the making but overall I got these amazing results from the Youtube email which I received as a content creator on the platform - 

• 235 minutes of new content 
• Gained 576 subscribers
• Gained 315,249 new views
• Viewers spent 159,785 minutes watching my videos in 2020
• Received 46 Comments
• Shared my videos 536 times
• My 75 videos received 6,192 likes in 2020

Let's continue to create new content on a daily basis and I have a lot of historical technology which I want to showcase on my channel. Surely, once I start receiving the new gadgets before their launch I can schedule my videos to go live on the same day of the launch event just after the completion of the launch event. Let's see what happens but this is going to be my goal in 2021. 

I am sure I will be able to make my own fan following in 2021 and also learn a lot of SEO optimization as currently, it's not the case on my channel. I want to complete 1000 subscribers and 4000 hours of video watch time to cross the monetization threshold in 2021. I need your support and I hope to do so by creating some of viral videos which can be shared again and again. 

On this journey, I am going to make mistakes and learn from you guys, but keep appreciating my efforts and give me the power to entertain you on the go. I am still in the finding myself phase where I am not sure of which language to create content in and what to focus more on - travel or technology or launch events. This year was awesome for me based on this Youtube performance email and looking forward to creating something unique in my own voice which will be liked by you all in 2021. Have a great holiday and festive season! Take care and wear the mask to keep you safe and others too!

Cheers!!!

#KeishaAndYou - Gabby Duran and The Unsittables @DisneyChannel @DStv 303 #Unboxing

Hi Friends, 

I received this mystery package from Disney Channel and it was kids-oriented stuff so Keisha started unboxing the same on her youtube channel and she really loved the contents of the mystery package. Do check this out and also subscribe to her channel and I am making sure that some video gets posted every 15 days on her channel which can be anything from playing board games or unboxing mystery packages or doing some challenges with her friends. 

Gabby Duran and The Unsittables is a TV show on Disney Channel DStv 303 for your viewing pleasures. Disney Channel offers a lot of such programs which keeps the kids entertained along with some kind of civic lessons they can learn from all these shows. 

Here is the video -

Unboxing #BarbieColorReveal from @Mattel #KeishaAndYou

Hi Friends, 

Mattel sent Barbie's Color Reveal and it was so great to receive the same for my elder daughter who runs her own Youtube channels and generally unboxes some of the board games and other toys from time to time. Barbie Dolls are always girls favourite collectables and Keisha too had a lot of them. 

Barbie's Color Reveal is a totally different concept where you don't know which doll you are purchasing. It includes 7 surprises which your kids will definitely enjoy and this experiment will definitely bring them a lot of fun. The recommended age group mentioned on the Barbie Color Reveal is 3+ years of age. But I think as it contains some kind of warm water and dissolvable paint, this should be done under the supervision of kids and not on the carpets as it can stain the carpet floor. 

Barbie Color Reveal that we got is from Series 1 which has 5 different forms of Barbie dolls. The package contains the pink coloured doll which when put into the warm water for 60-120 seconds will reveal the colour of the doll. The hairstyles are different for each doll which also comes in a different package. Another thing that comes is also sandals for the dolls and another package contains the skirt. A magical sponge changes the hair colour and makeup of the doll too. Check out this video from Keisha & You and enjoy the process! 

Thanks to Mattel for sending the Barbie Color Reveal doll and we really enjoyed the process of unpacking the revealing mysterious doll. Barbie Color Reveal is available at ToysRus and also at Takealot.com for around R379 with MRP of R409. Grab one for you little ones or to gift to someone who would love to reveal the barbie behind the pink paint. 

Cheers!!!

Video Journey @Walkersons #LotusGarden #Dullstroom #SA #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends,

Video is always great as compared to the photos so I decided to compile all of the video clips into a vista to see all the venues I have been. The Walkersons Hotel and Spa are a 5 Star establishment whilst day entry is free, this only allows people access to the hotel building and surrounding gardens, horse riding & pre-booked spa treatments. Day visitors are NOT permitted to roam around the estate for walks, fishing, or photography. The hotel is situated on a private estate and as such has to follow the rules of the Homeowners Association. Guests who are booked into the hotel / self-catering houses on the estate have full access to all areas and facilities but this is restricted for day visitors. Kids do love the same and it's safe too as they just take you around a park. Dullstroom is a great place to spend your weekend and it's just 250kms far away from Johannesburg, South Africa. 

You can also visit their restaurants for brunch or lunch or dinner but do pre-book the same as you never know how much full is the hotel as they might be already full.

Sawubona!

Video Journey of #LoneCreekFalls #Sabie #SouthAfrica #TheLifesWayCaptures

Hi Friends, 

Lone Creek Falls is around 12km from Sabie, 50km from Lydenburg, 107km from Dullstroom. The waterfall is around 68m high. There is plenty of space for braai and toilet facilities are also available adjoining the parking area in a park. Kids totally enjoyed the falls and people enjoyed watching the falls from various pedestals made at Lone Creek Falls near Sabie, South Africa. 

My little one wanted to enter the water and did so by wetting his feet in the pool. Moreover, there were so many small fishes in the pool that used to eat your dead skin of the feet if you keep them still for some time which gives a tickling sensation. Enjoy this marvelous beauty of South Africa!

Enjoy the video from the Lone Creek Falls - my first attempt to show you the journey to reach Lone Creek Falls, Sabie, South Africa. Follow me on Youtube and watch more journeys - दक्षिण अफ्रीका में घूमने चलिए 

Sawubona!
