A fresh mouth for a happy day ---. #Colgate360GoldMornings

Every day starts in the morning and we need a really clean mouth for that " feel good feeling" ... the whole day can be destroyed if we feel that a foul smell is emanating from our mouths , or if we feel that our teeth are stained. We become conscious and try to avoid giving  friendly smiles for fear of exposing dirty stained teeth  , roadblocks occur in our conversation and we become ---social wrecks all for want of a clean mouth and sparkling teeth --but now no more: lets buy a combo of Colgate Charcoal 360 gold tooth paste and tooth brush and see our teeth sparkle

.As kids and for me  that was more than fifty years ago; we were told by our grandparents that they used to clean their teeth with charcoal  which was an excellent mouth cleaner and also beneficial to gums . But then they had gradually stopped the practice of using charcoal mainly because of the abrasions that charcoal caused .. It destroyed the enamel.

But now with Colgate India coming up with this toothpaste and toothbrush  those worries of ours are gone we can still use that super cleaner charcoal without the fear of damaging the enamel . Because charcoal is an excellent remover of stains we now have no fear of staining teeth with coffee , tea wine etc and one is free to enjoy , eat drink and make merry knowing very well that  brushing  with charcoal Colgate will make our teeth sparkle again because activated charcoal 's natural adhesive qualities  bind  with stains of surface staining eatables and  get rid of them  as we spit out .


What is more this tooth paste even takes care of plaque . It is such a boon because it has used Charcoal after a lot of scientific research , ---i.e only the good points have been retained  and the risky ones have been done away with .

The real surprise or boon or blessing is the 360 Charcoal Gold Toothbrush    which has special bristles designed in such a way that they clean between teeth and along the gum line The  polishing cups remove stains. The raised cleaning tips clean the back side of the teeth. The backside and middle of the brush are  unique tongue and cheek cleaners made of very soft and firm rubber. The extra -fine bristles are further coated with charcoal to enhance further cleaning of plaque also removing odour causing bacteria because  Colgate  knows that 80 % of the bacteria are not on the teeth but on the tongue, gums and cheek.

This combination of Colgate Charcoal 360 toothpaste and toothbrush is undoubtedly .The Gold Standard of whole mouth Cleaning making our mornings #Colgate360GoldMornings.

Those compassionate hearts

  "I was just net surfing when I came across the following  news item on "indiatimes news"   Was it overwhelming ? It was heart wrenching and touching above all it gave me a feeling of pride a faith in humanity as did it make me fall in my own eyes .

http://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/2000-sex-workers-from-maharashtra-skipped-2-meals-a-day-to-gift-one-lakh-rupees-to-chennai-flood-relief-248194.html

 Kunal Anand reports in the indiatimes news on 8th december 2015 

Sex workers from Maharashtra's Ahmednagar managed to donate a 1 lakh rupee cheque for Chennai flood relief within 2 weeks of the disaster "These women were restless since the last four days when they came to know about the deluge in Chennai They decided they should do something to help residents there "   Snehalaya founder Girish Kulkarni told PTI  Out of three thousand in the district two thousand of them contributed to the fund . " We are in touch with the Delhi-based NGO Goonj for ensuring further relief to the people of Chennai " Kulkarni added

 The sex workers in an event organised by NGO Snehalaya in Ahmednagar presented a cheque of 1 lakh rupees to District Collector Anil Kawade .

These poor women 90% of whom have been forced into this profession , who have been snatched away from their loved ones , who have been subjected to so much torture heartbreak and agony and who been coerced into  doing that which they never wanted to do willingly,  and  yet  have always been  looked down upon by society,  looked upon with disdain , contempt and disrespect they who have been drained of any emotions and feelings --They who have taken it upon themselves to smile and bear insults assuming this to be their lot . They who are subjected to inhuman treatment just for two morsels of food just to keep themselves alive 

These women skipped two meals a day just so they could save the money and donate it for the relief of the flood affected people of Chennai 

. In the beginning of this write up I had said that  this news item made me fall in my own eyes and rightly so because we are the ones who look down upon them make them stay in segregation,label them vile and social outcasts , no one wants to be associated with them they are always sneered at . 

No one would have been surprised if these women would have decided to pay us back in our own coin ,Why should they contribute for the relief of those who would never think about their  welfare or who would ever respect them . Would these people have ever allowed them even near their houses ? no never . So why should they bother to help them who never helped them  ,"they deserve this for treating us the way they did  more over may be they would not like to take help from us the untouchables may be they will not want to touch the money that we send them from our sinful earnings may be our gesture would face rebuff "Hundreds of this kind of justifications could have come to them and they could have remained aloof , and smug pretending to be helpless BUT no  their thought process was more mature and  full of compassion for their fellow humans They skipped their meals and sent the money saved to the relief fund .They must have had to skip meals to save money because I am sure their earnings must have been taken away by the pimps and brothel owners .

This just goes to show that no profession is noble or ignoble good or bad, no profession should be looked down upon , every person should be respected irrespective of his / her cast creed or work.

This was one section of society which had no obligations to donate no one expected them to do so but they were full of compassion , full of empathy for their fellow humans and did this out of their own feelings .

A very good effect this incident had on society was that the people learnt  to respect these women ---the stigma on their profession may still be there but there is a respect an admiration for them in the thoughts of the general public of that region and in the hearts of all those who came to know about the incident  . Similarly these women too had a sense of achievement their self esteem increased in their own eyes ,the praise showered on them helped  them  get over that feeling of self pity that feeling which had ingrained itself in their psyche that they were a stigma to society , an unproductive section whereas in reality they are  a very important segment of society-they are the members of the oldest profession   instrumental in bringing about an equilibrium a balance in the working of the social set up.

 In olden days they were  called " Nagarvadhoo"  and given due respect for the work they did , they were invited to functions and celebrations and treated with respect. Because it was considered that their profession was as important as any other

Nagpur ---the heart of the country

RIGHT  in the centre of the map of INDIA.

THE  heart of the country. yes the zero mile here is the 0 mile of India.

Nagpur is located at the exact centre of Indian Peninsula  The city has a Zero Mile  stone locating the geographical centre of India, which was used by the British to measure all distances within the Indian subcontinent.

When in school I would at times think why don't they make it the capital of the country !!!  centrally located ,sprawlling ,beautifull surroundings  everything that one needs to make a city a capital.

But the authorities knew better. or thought different.

They did make it the winter capital of Maharashtra  though.

It used to be the capital of the old province of C.P.and Berar later on when the state was divided into Madhya Pradesh and Maharshtra   [this included old Bombay state] Bombay became the capital of Maharashtra with  Bhopal becoming the capital of  Madhya Pradesh  But  nagpur could't be denied its value and importance and it was made the Winter Capital of Maharashtra 

Its got rich mineral resources and dense forests around it .

It was a bit sleepy and a typically middle class town but now it is fast on the tracks of becoming a mod city .

It has a good past to boast about .

Foundation laid by the GOND king of DEOGAD   BAKHT BULAND SHAH in 1702.It gets its name from the Nag river which flows through it.

It has received an award for being the cleanest and most perfectly planned city in India  and also the 2nd greenest city in the country  According to a survey by ABP News-Ipsos, Nagpur has been identified as the best city in India by topping the liveability, greenery,public transport, and health care indices. Nagpur has the best literacy rate, 93.13%, among cities with more than 20 lakhs population in India. It is famous for the Orange fruit  and is known as the "Orange City" for being a major trade centre of oranges cultivated in the region.

.Nagpur is also called the "Tiger Capital of India as it connects many tiger reserves in India to the world.

Tadoba-Andhari Tiger Reserve (Maharashtra 

Pench National Park

Nagzira-Navegaon Tiger Reserve (Maharashtra

Melghat Tiger Reserve (Maharashtra)

Bor Tiger Reserve (Maharashtra- 

 It is among the important cities for the information technology sector in Maharashtra. Nagpur is located in the centre of the country with the Zero Mile marker indicating the geographical centre of India.Nagpur is an important city for the Indian armed forces. Maintenance Command of Indian Air Force has its current headquarter at Vayusena Nagar in Nagpur. It houses Mi-8 helicopters and the IAF carriers IL-76 and handles the maintenance, repair, and operations of all aircraft, helicopters and other equipment.

The ordnance factory and staff college of ordnance factory Ambajhari and National Academy of Defence Production for Group A officer of ordnance factories are in the western part of the city. The 'raison d'être' for Kamptee, the military cantonment, is still operational. Kamptee Cantonment houses the Officers Training Academy for National Cadets Corps, which is the only one of its kind. It is also the home of one of the oldest and most respected regiments in the Indian Army, the Brigade of the Guards. Guards, located at Kampthee 

Though nothing to brag about it is also the 114th largest city in the world.

The Multi-modal International Cargo Hub and Airport at Nagpur (MIHAN) is a project for the Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport, Nagpur. It is the biggest economical development project currently underway in India in terms of investments. The project aims to exploit the central location of Nagpur and convert the airport into a major cargo hub with integrated road and rail connectivity. This project consists of two parts:

In 2013, ABP News-Ipsos declared Nagpur the country's best city for health care services. The city is home to numerous hospitals, some run by the government and some private. Nagpur is a health hub for Central India & caters to a large geographical area arbitrarily bounded by Delhi in the North, Calcutta in the East, Mumbai-Pune in the West and Hyderabad in the South. People from Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana regularly come to Nagpur for their health needs.Nagpur boasts of super-specialty physicians & surgeons serving its population in both public sector government run hospitals and well equipped private hospitals catering to all strata of society.

The plan to bring   AIIMS  to Nagpur is the latest feather in the cap of Nagpur health care services.

And now about the connectivity of the city to the rest of the country Nagpur is a major junction for roadways as India's two major National Highways Kanyakumari Varanasi Highway ( Natinal highway No 7)  and Hajira --Kolkata  (National Highway No 6 )), pass through the city. One more highway ( highway No 69),  connects Nagpur to Obaidullaganj near Bhopal. Nagpur is at the junction of two Asian Highways namely AH 43  Agra toMatara, Sri Lanka and AH46 connecting Kharagpur, India to Dhule, India.

The new state highway, Nagpur–Aurangabad–Mumbai express highway, built on the national highway basis is also sanctioned by the state and central government. This highway connects the state capital Mumbai to Nagpur via Aurangabad and significantly reduces the distance travelled by NH 6 and NH 3 between two cities.

Chopped lotus seeds ( makhana) ---1 cup
chironji seed--- ( half cup )

Some milk
Some  water

Method 

Churn the curd to a very smooth paste of  thick liquid consistency mixing water to it .Add milk if the curd is  very sour .

Now add all the chopped dry fruits and mix well .and also add the rose water.

Add Sugar free Natura to sweeten according to taste . Mix the chopped Basil ( tulsi)  leaves for that unque flavour.

Let all this soak for  at least one hour before serving as the dry fruits take some time to soften and mix with each other thus enhancing the taste and flavours. Lotus seeds should be soaked about an hour before the rest as they  take more time to absorb.
   .

Pour in goblets or simple bowls ( katories) and serve  chilled . sprinkling a little pomegranate seeds and tulsi leaves  for added decor . ,

This desert is very healthy , can be made without any hassle and is suitable  in any weather ---specially after a particularly heavy and rich meal . In summers it is very very welcome as the curd has a cooling effect on the stomach .

Nutritional value --

Lotus seeds also known as fox seeds are a good source of protein , carbohydrates,  fibre , magnesium , potassium , phosphorus  , iron and  zinc they are also low in sodium .

The health benefits of raisins include relief from constipation , acidosis , anemia , and fever . and have  a positive impact on eye health , dental care and bone quality .

This dessert which is my  variation of the Panchamrit  used in pooja  as Prasad is a very healthy  dish and is actually Amrit or nectar ..

My guests agree with me when I serve them AMRIT  as dessert .

Kissanpur – Discovering Real Togetherness

The best thing that is the result of being born on this earth is that we are all social animals if there is life it thrives and relishes being in the company of alikes   . Animals , birds , reptiles ,and even trees love the company of their own species . Its so pleasing to see animals frisking about and playing with their own kind .

Given below are a few lines from an article by Elisa Novick It tell's us about the social life of trees 

They communicate with and heal each other and give to us of themselves unceasingly,They are social beings, forming communities, sending warnings to each other, coordinating actions. Trees decide how to grow, which branches are necessary and where to place them, what size the leaves should be in different parts of the plant. And the older they are, the more wisdom they accumulate and can pass on through their genetic coding. 

The moment we are born we become a part of a social unit " our family " which i s the first unit of society  to which we will belong all throughout our lives and even in death . However digital and technically advanced we may become we will need people to carry us to the grave or to the funeral pyre. Just as we needed people to pull us out of  our mother' s womb . '

Our social life takes shape as we proceed from family to , neighborhood , to play group to school to college to work place to bigger horizons of exploration and ambitions But at every step we interact with humans and thrive with their love  and support . The best thing about belonging to any or all of these social set ups is that we become to belong to the members of these groups , an affinity is developed which gives us a feeling of security .  

Though a great admirer of technological advancement and specially the cell phone , its various apps and the internet , an internet addict my self  I spend most of my time , blogging , and chatting and my shopping is mostly done on line , but still I personally feel that real togetherness is when we meet our friends and relatives in person .Seeing each other in person is so much more fulfilling . Why otherwise would we all be using  "Skype"  only because we consider it a boon to be able to  see each other while talking long distance . 

Communication is an important aspect of human life  lot of things can be achieved by talking --we have all heard the expression ---lets solve this matter  across the table---that means its easy to communicate and explain oneself when facing each other , its easier to convey when eye to eye contact is possible than over the telephone ---why else would political powers hold summits and meetings . Similarly the need to touch and be touched is equally important a child would respond more to a hug or to a cuddle than to a plain smile . . Irrespective of whether we know it or not we all have a need for touch which could be the desire either to touch or to be touched. 

Studies that have been done on the subject have clearly demonstrated that those who know the value of touch and constantly engage in it are happier and healthier. .

Thus we see that coming in close personal contact and experiencing each others presence physically is so much more important than keeping in touch digitally . 

In  recent days  we have  been  seeing a spurt of old age homes, and poor homes coming up where people come  and lodge their old parents and relatives saying they don't  have either the time or  the money to look after them . But then little do  they realize that these same  elders  would and could be such better substitutes as compared to servants and creches  to look after their kids  once  the parents left for work.   Grandparents have their  personal  interest in the well being of their grandchildren . We not only look after their physical needs like giving them healthy food , bath and sleep as do servants and creches but we tend to see about their growth as a whole we love reading to them and I personally love taking my granddaughter for "nature rambles",  as we call them ,we have a bird house at home and we also plant trees and  watch their growth daily. Nature is a very good source of bringing people together because it has the ability to keep us tied up together we love to see and discuss birds nesting  and if they have laid eggs or not , how many chicks have come out , has the seed sprouted is the plant coming up well , we talk about the various stages of growth and learn a lot through these interactions --in fact it was in  one of these nature ramble activities that my grand daughter learnt that we should never pour water over freshly sowed seeds as they get drowned ..

Its sheer bliss going for walks with her , telling her about the various things we come across  and trying to pacify her curiosity It does give me a feeling of achievement and satisfaction when she shares  her knowledge at school and  also with other members  of the family .who have started coming together to discuss and add their two bits to these nature discourses Nearly every member of the family contributes to these discussions and is as curious as the two of us about the developments.Everyone seems to be coming together automatically no one has any problem donating a few minutes to come and peep at the fledgelings or to see the mango plant grow.

We are all looking forward to receiving our sample of tomato seeds from KISSAN   and the pots have been made ready too with supporting sticks and all .

This is Real togetherness isn't it ?

Given below are some picture of a goat at the roadside and a snail in our joggers  park where we go for our walks , the bird house at home and a mango seed planted in a pot .a picture of our" together visits " to the vegetable market and of course the not to be lagging  behind  digitally alert and mobile savvy Ananya

The Tapping Game ---a road to peaceful coexistence

Its unbelievable I know,but the more I am growing in years --the more intolerant or childish I am becoming . Whereas  all these years I used to be the mom or wife or sister who would willingly forego all the pleasures of life for my loved ones, now I  must have what I want my favourite food , my favourite clothes and accesories ( however expensive or difficult to procure)  , and my favourite TV programmes .

My loving family (??) does not mind obliging me with all my demands sometimes willingly sometimes    grudgingly but when it comes to watching TV they show their real colours not one of them is ready to forego their pleasure . I know you would say why don't I buy another TV for myself banning all  others from even touching it !  I have already done that my near senile brain is active enough to look after my own comforts But my problem is so different from what anyone can ever guess Tell you what !! since I am a little hard of hearing and like to keep the pitch of the volume a little high they all insist that I use earphones !!! atrocious isn't it ?? Previously they used to rush and close the door of my room as soon as I would switch on the TV then one windy day the door got stuck and I was  locked inside the room  !!! and God did everyone get panicky   ?? They did and me too.What a scene  I created  . So then they decided that they would gift me with earphones and I will wear them while watching TV  or listening to songs . Now this is really atrocious so I was  relieved and  over joyed when I read about the "TATASkyTransfer" and the facilities it provides . 

Another reason for my going overboard on reading about the   "TATASkyTransfer" was the  time slot allotted to the various programmes  by different channels  eg. two of my favourites " Terey shehar  mein" ( star plus) and "Doli Armano ki" ( Zee ) overlap each other , whats more even the sponsors have chosen the same time to show their adds .

 "Dreamgirl"  is another favourite specially  for the strong personality of the character in negative role "Ayesha Sareen", it is one serial I would never miss but then at times "Yeh Rishta Kya kahlata hai"  also shows how  some   real  issues should  be tackled which I like to see and both these serials overlap.  The same goes for "Reporters"( Sony )  and "Diya aur baati"( Star plus)

Another Big favorite of mine and which though it has no programmes overlapping its telecast but has bigger real life distractions overlapping it and they cannot be overlooked or ignored.My grandson and grand daughter both of them feel hungry  in  the same time slot , both of them want me to  help with their home work again in the same time slot  --the time slot being 5.30 pm to 6.30 pm and the serial " Merey Angane Mein . Now this is my  biggest favorite at the moment  directed brilliantly with excellent acting from both   stalwart veterans as well as the new comers   , dialogues that seem so natural the dialect too kept in mind I have yet to find any flaw in this absolutely natural family drama  being enacted on the small screen . One feels as if one is actually a part of a home in UP . Everything is so natural 

In fact I would request people to view this serial if not for anything else at least for the superb direction and acting ---though people from UP and Bihar and specially the "Kayasths" would enjoy it more and identify with the characters too --incidently though it is about a Kayasth family  (and I belong to one )  but  all over India the relationships shown in the serial follow almost the same behavioral pattern .

So as soon as I came to know about the TataSky Transfer I was very happy now I could record my favourite serials and see them at my convenience and even view repeat performances. If any of you wish to see the trailer of any of my favorite serials do let me know and I will transfer the best episode ( recorded) for you to see and decide .


Its all very easy actually just child's play I would say as  shown in the video embedded below   
All we  require is the new " Tata Sky set top box "it allows us to transfer /stream our favourite recorded shows directly on our Android or IOS device anytime anywhere through TataSky+Transfer 

You only have to follow the rules as  mentioned below in the Tata Sky Transfer advertisement ______

1. Subscribe to the Transfer pack for each registered device on which you wish to access the service by -
   1. Tapping on the ‘Transfer’ icon in the Tata Sky Mobile app – following which the pack will get added automatically to your account
   2. Adding the pack to your account at www.mytatasky.com
   3. By contacting our helpline
2. Ensure that your Tata Sky+ Transfer box and device are connected to your home Wi-Fi.
3. To be able to transfer content, you need to have recorded content on your Tata Sky+ Transfer set top box.
4. Launch the Tata Sky Mobile app, login and tap on ‘Transfer’ on the home screen.
5. If your set top box and device are on the same Wi-Fi network, you will see your recorded content displayed in the ‘My Box’ section.
6. Select the content of your choice and once you tap on ‘Transfer’, the transfer process will start.
7. Once the transfer is complete, you have to visit the ‘My Phone/My Pad’ section to view this content and just tap on ‘Play’ to view your recorded content.
8. 
   

Simple isn't it .I suppose this device was made with people like us oldies and small kids in mind we  are always dominated by adults and constantly get bullied ----now both our age groups will not be at the mercy of bullies because a simple tap will do the trick , no struggling with buttons just a tap and it works.

Why don't you too get a TataSky transfer connection and watch your favourite TV programmes with peace . Now that the Mahatma Gandhi Nelson Mandela cricket series is also about to begin .  I am a great cricket fan and never miss a single match (  here of course there is no tussle between me and my family we all sit glued to theTV during cricket matches the only bone of contention is the " volume " which will now be solved with TataSkyTransfer ) In  my days  we had great players like Farukh Engineer , Chandu Borde . Hanumant Singhetc  Prasanna . Bedi .Chandrashekhar , Venkat Raghavan '

And yes please don't forget to watch  the  programmes I have mentioned "Dreamgirl"for the grit shown by a woman , it may be a negative role which will ultimately show her defeated but I loved her acting and the scene where when asked by her husband to give him a divorce and leave his house  she demands her share in that empire which had been built by her equal contribution .She had helped him rake in all the moolah by giving excellent performances and the people had thronged the cinema halls to see her acting it was she who had  turned  those movies into superhits  so she deserved fifty percent as alimony and a share in the production house ---and this unnerves the husband --wow!! what dialogue delivery by the actress  who plays Ayesha Sareen !!!

And ofcourse "Mere Angane Me" is a must watch you will know why it is a must watch only after you see it .

So do get your TataSky Transfer and Here's Me wishing you many many years of Happy and Peaceful entertainment .

Speed Crazy!!! go for Airtel4G

A few years back I was hounded by the term 2G ,3G etc. for a person like me a mobile phone is just a device a portable device which makes it easier for me to stay connected with my loved ones wherever I am and whenever I want to.The computer for me is something which helps me with social networking and blogging and of course helps me stay connected through  mails etc So when the world went abuzz with terms like  3G etc I just couldn't understand what the people were talking about   I tried to fathom it all with the help of friends called "search engines"  and gathered that these terms  were  a kind of mobile  broadband Internet .The “G” was  short for generation,. Enlightened at last I now  wanted to understand how were they of use and why were the people going gaga about them.

As we all know  Mobile broadband is the marketing term for wireless Internet access through a portable modem, mobile  phone, USB wireless modem, tablet or other mobile  devices. The first wireless Internet access became available in 1991 as part of the second generation (2G) of mobile phone technology.

Fully enlightened I now understood  that 3G was a faster connection than 2 G .

As soon as I had rested from my toils Airtel introduced its 4G .

By now I had understood that 3G was faster than 2G so naturally 4G must be faster than 3G .

  3G and 4G represent the third and fourth generations of mobile broadband Internet.  a 4G connection  is  faster than a 3G one .

Airtel has launched its  4G services across the country in 296 cities making itself the first telecom operator to roll-out the next-generation mobile Internet technology in most parts of the country.It helps one to enjoy 4G speed with  4G data card, WiFi hotspot or 4G wireless router. Airtel 4G  is the fourth generation standard for mobile communication. A successor to 3G, 4G technology offers ultra-fast broadband Internet with higher data transfer speeds and improved services. Also referred to as LTE (Long Term Evolution), Airtel network is equipped to offer max speeds of up to 45Mbps (megabits/seconds). With such high download speeds, users can enjoy zero buffering while streaming high-definition videos. Also, at peak speed a 1GB file would take roughly about three minutes to download.

Airtel has also tried to help its  customers to get their  4G facility with ease  and given below are some of the methods

To upgrade your old SIM to Airtel 4G?
 Airtel has launched a dedicated website where one can check if his/her  number is eligible for the 4G upgrade. If yes, one  can request for a free 4G SIM right way, which will be delivered at his/her  doorstep within four hours.

Step one:

Visit the dedicated Airtel page  and enter your Airtel contact number. If it shows that your number is eligible for the 4G upgrade, click on next and fill in the required details. Depending on the availability and your locality, the new 4G enabled SIM card will be delivered to your doorstep within four hours, or on the next day.

 Step two:
Once you have the SIM card, you will have to text the 20-digit SIM number to 121. It will ask you to confirm SIM number change, just select 1 to confirm and within the next one hour, your new 4G enabled SIM card will get activated.

Step three:

Insert the new SIM card in your handset and you shall get a welcome message along with Internet settings. Once all this is done, just make the top-up data refill (on prepaid) and you’re ready  to go and use the high-speed 4G services.

Get the same data benefits as your 3G pack and enjoy superfast 4G speeds at no extra cost.Free upgrade

 All you need to  get started is a 4g device, a 4G sim and a 4G plan because it supports up to 32 devices   ----a mobile , a dongle on the go  and at home  all your WiFi enabled devices such as laptops, smartphones, gaming consoles, smart TVs and security systems

          .One of their advertisement says     " If you crave speed, Airtel 4G is for you."  and very rightly so .

           To prove their efficiency, dedication and sincerity Airtel  has also thrown a challenge which           says "If your network is  faster , we will pay your mobile bills for life"  now doesn't that show how confident they are of their product !

So this laywoman has now decided to opt for Airtel4G---and my city is among the 296 chosen ones. WoW!! I don't want to be lagging behind in any way in reaping the harvest of any sort of technological advancement during  my living days . What if I belong to the senior citizen group !!! I am a modern  21st century  woman  and I am worth it .
