The Thailand Throwback.

"If only I could live by the sea, I could die by the sea".

There is a wanderer soul in each of us, hidden somewhere it lies in a corner of our heart and we keep suppressing it every day or we keep fooling it making excuses and promises for future. I am a wanderer too, my body and mind have a great coordinator when it comes to exploring the unknown. I wasn't a guy who was much into traveling, to be honest until I met my better half. The wanderer soul that was suppressed within me was waiting for help and it got free when I met her.

"The fifth anniversary in Thailand".
It was the time we went international, we had been traveling in India but never had a chance to visit some other country and then we decided why not Thailand for our fifth anniversary?

I personally love the sea and no one can keep me away from it. I have always heard people saying that Thailand has the most crystal clear sea water and there were so many places like Pattaya, Phuket, and Phi Phi Island to witness that. I was our 5th anniversary and we wanted it to be special. So we decided to visit Pattaya.

We got a travel package from a tours and travels company and within days we were ready to fly to Thailand. We boarded our plane at the Kolkata international airport and the journey to “The Land of Smiles” began. We were tired of the orthodox “to do” list on an anniversary and thus we had planned this trip to do something new, to witness something different. We had a very vivid idea of what this trip was going to be but we knew one thing for sure we were going to have fun. We landed at the Suvarnabhumi International Airport Bangkok at noon where we were picked up by a lovely lady who was supposed to drop us at Pattaya. We got a warm welcome at the hotel and were escorted to our room. We rested for few hours and then met the guy who was supposed to design our anniversary itinerary. He informed us about all the sightseeing places and other things that we can do for our anniversary and after a head storm of half an hour we concluded that we would design our itinerary our self and pass it to the guy that evening so that he could verify it and make the needed arrangements too and that is what we did.


The 5th Anniversary Day.
We started our day with the morning breakfast buffet at the Novotel Pattaya Modus Beachfront Resort which was not very far from the Four Season Place. The Breakfast was delicious and was essential too because we needed that energy to keep us kicking the whole day. We were picked up from the hotel and we were up for our anniversary celebration. We were dropped to the Pattaya beach and there we were supposed to go for water sports. We did parasailing first and that was really amazing which was followed by deep sea walk. The deep sea walk was mesmerizing, it was a completely different experience to see the see from within. Things were going well according to what we had planned and we were having the time of our life. Soon after the deep sea walk we got back to the beach and went for lunch to our hotel. We had our lunch and rested for some good 30 minutes.

We were all set to continue our day and so we had Pattaya Park Tower the next thing on the list.
Pattaya Park Tower is a 240-meter tall tower just by the sea and the view from the tower and its lounge are just breath taking. We went to the lounge had coffee sitting facing the sea. The coffee and the view were just the starts of something g amazing that was to be followed, “The Pattaya tower jump”. Yes, you heard me right. Pattaya tower jump is an activity that attracts a lot of tourists and believe you me it is as thrilling as it sounds.  Jumping from the tower top with the help of a cable was just awesome. We did the tower jump clicked few picks and were on the way to the next amusement on our itinerary.

The next amusement on our itinerary was “The Alcazar Show”. I was not very sure of this show at first but my wife was in huge favor of going to this show so we did and it turned out the show was just fantastic. It was beautiful, elegant, well coordinated, funny and colorful. They never let you shut your eyes down they are awesome. We loved the show and I personally was happy that I came to the show. I also got a beautiful picture clicked with one of the artists performing that evening. We clicked few more pictures and were back from the shoe to the hotel. We had a candle light dinner at the restaurant and were all free of our itinerary.

My wife said that she didn’t want to spend the evening in the hotel room and so we took a Toto to the most happening place in Pattaya “The walking street”. We walked all the way to the walking street and had few delicacies and drink. We went to an open club where there was loud yet soothing live music. We had a great time at the walking street too. We walked back to our hotel shopping from the street market and that was fun too.

We were back to the hotel after midnight and to our surprise everything was open. We were all tired and fatigue and so the lady at the front desk suggested us to have a full body Thai Massage and so we did. That was the best massage of my life or should I say our lives. We were fresh, up and running after the message. I was so confused that where all the pain and fatigue vanished from our body. We were done with the message in a couple of hours, we took steam bath and shower and then went to the bed.

That definitely was the best anniversary celebrations ever and I would love to celebrate each and every moment of my life at Thailand.   

Quit smoking with ivape

ivape.in has helped over 1 million smokers quit smoking

August 2017: Mumbai based start-up ivape.in is a leading vaping brand in India. It was incorporated in 2014 with a vision to help people quit smoking and to ensure that vaping products are affordable and accessible to the Indian population.

Vaping is a term used to describe the inhaling and exhaling of vapour produced by an electronic battery-powered device which is a healthier alternative to smoking the hazardous cigarettes.

There are approximately 108 million smokers in India; tobacco is the second highest cause of disability, WHO also calls tobacco a gradual killer. Many addicts are looking for a healthier option and ivape.in has helped over 1 million smokers switch to vaping.

Speaking on the occasion Nilesh Jain, Founder, ivape.in said, “There is very little awareness about vaping as a cleaner alternative. At ivape.in it is our endeavor to help smokers quit tobacco out of will and not compulsion. We use only FDA approved flavors in our e-liquids which are meticulously handcrafted at our ISO 9001 certified manufacturing unit.”


Since inception, ivape.in witnessed a month-on-month sales revenue growth of 10-15 percent. And being a pioneer in India’s vaping industry, ivape.in aims to create a widespread awareness about vaping to help the millions of tobacco addicts in India.
Smoking versus Vaping:

In India, the government is skeptical about legalizing vaping. However studies in the west show that vaping is 95 percent less harmful than smoking tobacco based cigarette. Recently in the US
The Food and Drug Administration announced a roadmap to reduce deaths from tobacco, and tobacco-related disease. According to the body, more than 480,000 deaths in the US are caused by tobacco every year. The FDA in the United States wants people to switch to a healthier alternative like vaping.  The greatest health hazard of cigarettes is the smoke that it produces, it also contains harmful chemicals like cyanide, carbon monoxide and methanol. These primarily affect the heart and arteries.  Vaping doesn’t not contain any of the harmful chemicals, experts also believe that through vaping the physiological need of nicotine reduces as body undergoes a, weaning-off effect. Vaping also doesn’t leave the foul smell and taste of burnt tobacco.

Angoori Bhabhi to play possessed thakurain inspired from Vidya Balan's Bhool Bhulaiya.

Shubhangi Atre aka Angoori Bhabhi possessed!
~ Takes inspiration from Vidya Balan to play a Thakurain in BhabhiJi Ghar Par Hain~
The nation’s favourite Bhabhi, Angoori Bhabhi aka Shubhangi Atre from Bhabhiji Ghar Par Hain is adored by her fans for her innocence and chirpy behavior. While viewers have always seen her being shy and docile, this week she is all set to shock everyone with her evil avatar as a Thakurain.

It so happens that Teeka and Malkan come across a ‘payal’ which Angoori Bhabhi lands up wearing. Immediately, her behavior changes as she is seen dancing and walking around alone eerily. Tiwari (Rohitash Gaud) too is perplexed on seeing her unusual actions. It is soon revealed that she has been possessed by the spirit of a Thakurain who has returned to avenge her death.

Shubhangi’s look for the sequence is similar to Vidya Balan’s from Bhoot Bhulaiya. Speaking about preparing for the role Shubhangi shared, “The role was extremely challenging for me as it was something I had never done before. My character had dialogues in Urdu which I had to learn. Also, the look is drastically different from that of Angoori’s. It is inspired from Vidya Balan’s Manjulika look from Bhool Bhulaiya. Since in the sequence it is shown that the character has a royal past, I had to act like a Thakurian which was little tough.” She further added “Another challenge for me was to make my voice sound a little hoarse. My voice is very soft but the character was very bold and strong. It sounds very different from how I do in real life. So I had to practice for hours to get into the character”

Bharat Yatraon Child Sexual Abuse by Shri Kailash Satyarthi.

Kailash Satyarthi announces Bharat Yatra on Child Sexual Abuse and Trafficking
August:  Nobel Peace Laureate, Sh. Kailash Satyarthi, is embarking on a historic Bharat Yatra to spearhead the fight against child trafficking and child sexual abuse across the country. This yatra is the manifestation of his belief in ‘SurakshitBachpan-Surakshit Bharat’. The yatra will pass through 22 states covering 15,000 Kms and union territories over 35 days. The Yatra will start from Kanyakumari in the south, stretching across western India. Guwahati will lead the yatra from the eastern part of the country, while Srinagar will flag off the northern stretch.  The culmination of the Yatra will be in the national capital of Delhi, on the 15th of October.

Kailash Satyarthi has been campaigning for the freedom, safety and security for children across the globe for the past 36 years. He has led the historic Global March Against Child Labor in 1998 that prompted the ILO to pass international conventions against the worst form of child labor, in addition to the Shiksha yatra in 2001, after which the Right to Education was included as a fundamental right in the Constitution of India.  As a prolific thought leader, he has been played a catalytic role in influencing social and political policies of our country. He won the Nobel Peace prize (2014) for his continuous efforts and struggle for the rights of children. The yatra will flag off from Kanyakumari on the 11th of September, from the Vivekanand Memorial, commemorating the anniversary of the great leader’s address at Chicago in 1893.

 Announcing the Bharat Yatra with the parents of the survivors, Sh Kailash Satyarthi said,
“Today, I declare a war on child sexual abuse and trafficking. Today I am announcing Bharat Yatra, the biggest movement in history to make India safe again for children. I refuse to accept that the innocence, smiles and freedom of our children can keep getting stripped and raped. These are not ordinary crimes. This is a moral epidemic haunting our nation.”
As the architect of some of the largest civil body movements for a cause in the last four decades, Mr. Satyarthi’s lifelong mission is to eradicate all forms of violence against children.Mr. Satyarthi and his foundation KSCF have been preparing the ground for several months to launch the Yatra in September. As part of this ground work, Mr Satyarthi has travelled the length and breadth of country meeting citizens, faith leaders, employees and corporates, Parliamentarians, social organisations among others, all of whom have pledged their whole-hearted support to the Bharat Yatra, terming it as a necessary fight for our country to embark on and a noble cause to work towards.

Recently he met parliamentarians in Delhi to apprise them of the issue of child trafficking and  child sexual abuse and seek their support in spreading the awareness against the menace. Last month he spoke with and inspired over 500 LinkedIn employees in Bangalore, about the need for corporates such as LinkedIn to take a strong stand for the future of our country and will continue to do this over the course of the next few months. He has been meeting with several faith heads in New Delhi and across the country to ensure that the fight permeates all sections of society, pan-India. The curtain raiser to this march in Delhi, saw the launch of the video for the Bharat Yatra, which highlighted the appeal of children across the country to unite and fight for their freedom, safety and security. The campaign is expected to reach 1 crore stakeholders of the country.

Bharat Yatra is the launch of the three year campaign against child rape and child sexual abuse which is aimed at increasing awareness and reporting of the cases, strengthening intuitional response including medical health and compensations, ensuring protection for victims and witnesses during trials and increasing convictions of child sexual abuse in a time bound manner.


The launch also saw families of victims of trafficking and abuse who narrated the emotional and physical trauma they had to endure because of the misdeeds of a few. The families pledged their support hoping that it would bring about the revolution, the country needs to sustain its fight against the exploitation of children.

Madhya Pradesh is one of the seven states where child marriage is most prevalent.

Madhya Pradesh is one of the seven states where child marriage is most prevalent
Madhya Pradesh continues to battle one of the most regressive practices in modern Indian history, Child Marriage. The state is one of the 7 states in India where child marriage is the most prevalent. According to NCPCR’s report on Child Marriage in India based on 2011 census data, Madhya Pradesh ranks among the top ten states with high percentage of child marriages among both boys and girls.
“When one thinks of child marriage, the image conjured up is that of times gone by. The image is of days when education was not accessible to women and girls were married off before they could even enjoy childhood. Sadly, child marriage has been carried into the technology driven 21st century and shows no signs of slowing down,” says Sh. Kailash Satyarthi, Nobel Peace Laureate and founder, Kailash Satyarthi Children’s Foundation.

Let us not think that child marriage is restricted only to rural areas and it is not an urban phenomenon. It is alarming to note that it is growing in India, across both rural and urban spaces. It is a growing menace, that cuts across class, caste, religion and region.
While the access to education has become easier, and awareness about this social evil is widespread across the country, it is ironic that it is still practised at will in India.
“Child marriage is one of the biggest forms of societally sanctioned sexual, physical and mental abuse of young children. The practice of child marriage has time and again received been strongly opposed by government institutions as well as civil society. And yet, as India grows economically prosperous, its future continues to fall prey to illegal, under-age civil unions,” says Mr. Satyarthi.
Several studies indicate that one of the strongest factors that force people into marrying off their children is poverty. This is true, especially in the cases of the girl child, where they are seen as a liability to their family.
Even in urban areas, despite the improvement in the overall education of the people, the lack of economic alternatives contributes to the prevalence of this practice.
Children who are forcibly married, are often not provided access to any form of education for their livelihood. This lack of education is creating a cesspool of ignorance among girls and boys. Child marriage is a monumental hindrance to the socio-economic progress that is expected of a state, and ultimately, the country. It poses significant risks to the health, education and demography of the country. At a time when children are expected to play, study and live a carefree life, they are being pushed to abandon their childhood and take up responsibilities that are highly uncharacteristic and unbecoming of such a tender age.
Child marriage, apart from being illegal, is also associated with a multitude of risks to the children involved. These range from the physical and sexual complications that arise with pregnancy to the subtle yet equally grave psychological trauma the children must endure.
The weak implementation of the prohibition of Child Marriage Act 2006 (PCMA) is another contributing factor to the growth of these marriages. There is limited understanding of the law and very little understanding of the functioning of the law or consequences of the act.

Mr Satyarthi said, Mr Satyarthi said, “Children should be playing sports and studying hard. They should not be pushed to marry. We should not turn a blind eye to this growing problem. The time has come for the whole country to take a strong stand against this practice of child marriage. Madhya Pradesh has already made a good beginning to end this social evil.”
Society at large needs to be educated on the numerous problems associated with child marriage and the society must be made aware of the pitfalls that dot the lack of education in the state. Unless a strong stand against this regressive practice is taken, there will be no end in sight to the menace of child marriage in this country. Child marriage should have no place in 21st century India.

English Padhega India tabhi toh badhega India.

Wisdom is the best gift that one can give or one can get. We live in an era where wisdom is the key to every door and it takes some effort to gain it. This wisdom needs a medium to propagate and the star of this recipe is the language. Language is the most important factor in anything. It is required to understand and do things. 
We are aware that hindi is our mother tongue and we Indians are quite good at it but in this fast-moving modern world we need to have the knowledge of one more language too which is of same importance as of hindi. The language I am talking about is English. English is considered to be the international language and it is indeed internationally accepted all around the globe. It has become the main source of communication and learning. 

English being a foreign language is not easy to learn for everyone because it is not taught well at every corner of our nation and thus students who don't get a good coaching in english lose a great chance to get good jobs too. Situations were worse in the past when it was very rare that people had the knowledge of this language but today our people have made it mandatory for each and every education system to teach this language. 

Government has also come forward and is now actively participating in promoting the language and so has come public sectors. Few public se tors have come forward and have taken the initiative to help people learn english. This initiative helps children who are can't learn the language themselves and need some help doing so. 

Nihar Naturals Shanti Amla is one such private organization or shOuld a brand who have come forward to help others learn english. It helps children who want to learn english but don't have an access to do so. Nihar Naturals Shanti Amla has started an unique campaign where a person can be helped to learn english and all they have to do is give a call to its toll free number 8055667788. A missed call from the child or a caring person can help a child with nice future. 

Being a business man I have come across a lot of people who are not too good at english and they what a piece of it too either for themselves of their children. I can help them by providing the toll free number or even making a call on their behalf so that they too can have the chance to learn english. This toll free number can also be distributed to private and public schools where they can help the children reach the toll free number 80556677. "Padhe ga India tabhi toh badhe ga India".
