Spread Awarness with #KnowYourRights campaign

There have been cases of sexual violence being reported daily and children who are few months till aged women who are 90+ have been victims to this serious crime which is a big issue. The cases that are reported are so heart wrenching but over and above there are cases that go unreported as people fear to approach the police as they themselves get blamed for the crime or the officers refuse to write an FIR. The Knowyourrights initiative explains the rights of all individuals who are victims of sexual violence and what they need to do to report these cases. It's a great campaign that helps females to come forward and report these matters as hiding their pain would only increase it and help the criminals.
　
Females can go through these incidents within their houses as well and many get affected emotionally due to such incidents. In these cases, they need a friend of family member to help them in reporting these matters.
　

It would improve the security:

There have been many steps taken by the Government and Police due to the rise of these cases and by reporting them, it would help to increase the security and take the necessary steps so that these crimes can be reduced. When rape cases are revealed and if they happen in buses, trains and other vehicles, the Government does make changes that improves the security system so that women can travel safely. There are women constables also who are appointed. Thus, reporting these cases can make this place safer for women in general and also reduce the crime.
　

Reasons for these crimes can be known:

　
Sometimes when these crimes are committed, the victim fails to know the reason due to which she was attacked so brutally and by reporting these cases, the reasons would help in getting to know why did it happen. There were cases where a girl fell asleep in the cab and another girl trusted unknown people. These cases were reported and hence everyone got to know that sexual violence can happen anywhere and some mistakes lead to this which we should avoid and protect ourselves from it. Thus, reporting these crimes does help the people in general.

Save a life:

When people are aware of these sexual violence incidents, they can think over it and take the necessary actions as well. For example, when children are victims of such crimes, parents can protect their own children by checking the environment where their child studies, checking the background of the bus drivers who reach their kids to school and also the teachers who teach their kids. This makes them be more alert and protect their kids from such crimes. Hence, when one person comes forward and reports her case, it saves the life of others too. We have had cases when criminals who escaped in one case go and repeat the same crime with others. This needs to be stopped and hence if the first person doesn't report the case, she is indirectly helping the criminal to commit another crime.

Being a mother of a grown up daughter, this topic is always raised in my mind as I put my place in the victim's and her family's position to think if I would be able to raise my voice against the crime and criminal and report such incidents. Initially, thoughts like my daughter's name would be public and people would criticize her for the same and the criminal may or may not get punished then what would happen to my family. These thoughts exist in most of those family's minds and hence they fear from reporting these incidents. While thinking about the incidents, I noticed that by not reporting these incidents, we are actually favoring the crime and criminal which needs to stop and people should come forward and speak against these crimes. The reasons which I want to state are:

We need to change the society's views:

Our society has always been male dominant and have supported the male irrespective if he is right or wrong and have blamed the girl for her misfortune. However, in today's world, the people have tried to consider the girl's view and feel for her and hence if these incidents are reported, the society would try to relate with the girl and take strict actions against eve teasers. If these incidents go unnoticed, it would just lead to a rise in such crimes.

People will take steps to protect themselves:

People need to know that such incidents can take place with them as well as nobody is safe even in their house. They will need to change their views towards the victim and punish such criminals at an earlier stage so that these incidents aren't repeated.

More incidents will be reported:

If more cases of sexual violence are reported, it will give courage to those who have been quite and they will come forward and report their cases too. It needs just one person to come forward and the rest feel more confident and seek justice from the law. It serves as an example for those who fear that they would fall in trouble if they report such matters and for those people, the law should be firm and encourage the women to speak for their right. They should know that are treated equally in society and are no way responsible for the crime. Reporting these cases would only help others and themselves and would let the word spread that women cannot be underestimated and the people who feel women are weak would be punished no matter of their status, religion or power.

Baby's skin is the most important fact to be taken care of #SoftestForBabySkin

When I was a kid, my parents were very poor and hardworking. They couldn't afford to give me the time I needed as a baby as they had to keep working to feed the family but still they took utmost care of my health and especially my skin due to which even now when I am a grandmother, my skin doesn't reflect my age and makes me look younger. This proves that it is necessary to take care of the skin from the time the kid is small as that's the period when the skin of a baby needs to be healthy and soft so that it glows and makes a baby look healthy and cheerful. With this, I would like to state few facts with an explanation in my own words as to what steps need to be taken with regards to the skin of the baby.



1. Bathing the baby: It is very necessary to wash your hands with Dettol or any sanitizer and cut your nails before bathing the baby. Also, the bath tub, towels, other toiletries and the area near the bath tub must be cleaned well. While bathing the baby, it is necessary to apply soap on each and every part of the body, especially the are behind the ears and sensitive areas so that the baby is absolutely clean and it feels fresh. After giving the baby proper bath, use a towel that is extremely soft on the skin and then wrap the baby in another dry towel while taking it out from the tub. This is necessary so that the skin is protected and it remains soft and tender.


2. Feeding the baby: While feeding the baby, make sure the area near the baby is absolutely clean and dry and since many babies throw a lot of food around, it is necessary to keep a cloth underneath the baby which is soft and after feeding the baby, clean the baby's mouth and body with a soft wet towel and then a dry one. If important, change the clothes of the baby as well so that the baby's skin doesn't have any remains of the food and it wears clean clothes as well.


3. Sleep hours: Make sure the bed where the baby sleeps is very soft and comfortable and also washable. The area around must be clean and hygienic and the blanket sued by the baby should be soft and smooth to make the baby get its complete sleep. If the baby wakes up in the night due to wetting the diaper, make sure to change the mattress and the blanket as well instead of only changing the diaper and clothes. This will make the baby sleep peacefully and the skin o the baby also will be protected from any rash and irritation which is caused due to wetness.


4. Taking the baby for a walk: Avoid taking the baby out for a walk during sunny hours and make sure you clean your hands before touching the baby and its clothes else it can cause an infection.


5. Soft Diapers: Babies should be kept as happy as possible and this can be done by not only interacting with the baby but by making it feel free of the wetness which is caused due to diapers that make the baby's skin red and it makes the baby get irritated soon. Pampers has introduced its softest diaper for babies that can keep them dry for hours and this helps the skin of the baby from any kind of irritation and redness.

A joy of life #SoftestForBabySkin

Being a mother and now a grand mother, I have an experience in dealing with different types of skin and now I am also able to recommend what kind of care and how to take proper care of a baby while its skin is tender and sensitive. I would recommend the following tips to protect the skin of the baby and make it remain soft and healthy. The tips are simple but very important in our day-to-day life:

　

1. Sleep hours: This is a very important factor for a baby as different babies have a different time of sleeping. While my baby used to sleep only during the day time, my grand kid sleeps during the night. The timing varies from one to another but we as parents should make sure that the baby gets 8-10 hours of complete sleep whether during the day or during the night. It is important for the skin of the baby as if the baby gets less sleep, it can make the skin as well feel the lack of hours of sleep which can be avoided and taken care of.

　

2. Diapers: It is necessary that the diapers the baby wears are soft for the skin and hence it is better to test a diaper for few hours on the baby and then use it as a regular diaper. Pampers has introduced the softest diaper for the baby's skin and it is made of a material that keeps the diaper dry for hours even after the diaper gets wet. This is the best thing for a baby as the skin remains dry and the baby remains joyful.

　

3. Limit scented products for the baby: It is often a practise to use scented baby products like a powder or shampoo whose fragrance is too loud but it should be avoided as the baby cannot bear such scented products often and it can harm the lungs of the baby as well at a very young age. It is better to use products with no fragrance so that the baby can remain calm and the skin as well is not affected by these scented products.

　

4. Food: It is necessary to give the baby more nutritionous food which can make it remain healthy and also make its skin more soft and plump. The best food for the baby's skin after mother's milk is Farex.

　

5. Soft clothing: It is necessary that the baby only wears soft clothing like cotton as the skin is very tender and sensitive and hence other materials may stick to the skin of the baby causing any irritation.


Pampers brings you the softest ever Pampers Premium Care Pants. Its cotton-like softness is #SoftestForBabySkin and allows it to breathe, thus keeping baby’s skin soft and healthy, and your baby happy.

SachchiAdvice - "Never take a loan" Dad's words

　

My father was my inspiration and his teachings have always helped me when I felt low and helpless at times. He is no more but I always remember the things he told me in life and I did always follow his advise.

　

The main thing in our life is MONEY and one such advise was given by my father who was never a rich man but a man to whom I look up to. He told me one thing that always helped me and it was to NEVER TAKE A LOAN IN LIFE. This was his strict instruction from him and his advise was with respect to a bank or a person. He told me to never ask money from anyone as the debt would make my life miserable in future. His words were always remembered and hence when I was in need to money or I was financially not capable of doing something for my family, I preferred to be without it rather than to be dependent on another person for money. I never took a loan even for my daughter's education when I needed one but I earned each penny on my own and paid her college fees. It was a wise decision made by me as I would have to spend my life earning the interest and the principle amount that would make my and my family's life miserable. We would have to face many issues and problems in life and that would make us take a lot of stress.

　

It was only because of my father's advise that today whatever I have earned in life and whatever I own is bought only by me and hence I have no debt to pay whether to a friend or to a bank. It always makes me feel proud and make me hold my head high as I have never mortgaged anything to get money as a loan. It's only because of my father's advise that I am what I am today. Thanks Dad!

Pampers product review

I received the Pampers hamper today and I loved the packaging on the Pampers premuim product. I opened the pampers packet and took out one diaper. I checked the entire diaper to see if there are any stains or dust and I couldn't find anything because of which I was assured that I can make my grandchild wear the diaper without cleaning it. On touching it, I found it to be very soft and stretchable.



My grandchild is very cranky when it comes to wearing clothes or diapers and hence he kept moving while I made him wear the product. Once I fitted it on him, my grand kid was comfortable. I made him wear it at 4:00 p.m. and my daughter fed him with milk which made him fall asleep in half an hour. After 2 hours I went and checked if he wetted the product and I noticed that the wetness indicator was blue in color which indicated that my grand kid had wetted it. I opened the diaper slowly without distrubing my baby and put a pieceof paper to check if it was wet but it was completely dry and hence I made him wear the diaper. My daughter insisted that I changed the diaper as she keeps changing it when it gets wet but since I had read on the product cover that the diaper lasts for 12 hours, I made him wear it for 3 hours more and then take it off. I noticed that my grand kid again wetted the product but still it did not affect him as the diaper was still dry. I just wiped him and again made him fall asleep.

At about 8:20 p.m., my grand child started crying as he had made potty in his pants. The diaper got dirty because of this and hence I took it off slowly and disposed the diaper. I made him wear the second one and he was again comfortable with the new pants. He started smiling as he felt soft and clean with the new ones and he again fell asleep.


The Pampers Premium Care if very good for kids and its ability to soak the wetness makes it useful for babies. It keeps the inner surface dry and the baby still unaware of his wetting which makes it worth buying. The wetness indicator is really useful for moms to get to know if the diaper has been wetted or not and this is a new feature which only Pampers has introduced.

SachchiAdvice by a Boss

　

It's is only our parents who give us a true advise that makes us a better human and makes us prosper in life but sometimes there are people whom we barely know in our life and they give us an advise that helps us improve financially as well as personally.

　

　

One such person in my life was my boss whom I used to work for. I joined him when I was an intern and while I was graduating. I learn how to practice in the court by taking his advise and later when I completed my graduation, I decided to practice independently and my boss was not quite happy about my decision. While I took my documents and other stuff from the desk, he called me to his desk and asked me to sit down for a while. I sat across the table feeling nervous as I felt he might scold me for leaving his job. He made me comfortable and handed me a glass of water. After few moments, he started asking me about my plans while working as a Lawyer and what would be the fees I have set for each work. I told him I was unsure about my charges and initially I would work for just a small price as I was still a newbie. He told me that it was a good decision as Lawyers have to struggle a lot in their initial stages and hence they need to charge as low as possible and then hike their prices. He also told me that I should always take the money first from my clients and never to take cases where the client decides to pay after the work as the clients then do not turn up for payment and it would be my loss which I spend for the paper work and typing. I noted down whatever he advised me as it was of great help while working.

　

His advise was indeed very helpful as when I started getting clients, most of them used to make excuses of paying later while I followed my boss's advise and only took the money first whether it was a family friend who was my client or a stranger. This helped me to earn my living initially and then when I hiked my prices, I started earning a lot of money with which I managed to get my own house in just 5 years. I thank my boss for this as while I always took the payment first, my friends used to take their fees later and they many a times got cheated and had to incur a lot of loss. I am grateful to my boss and will always be so.

A day out with Pampers

This was my first Blogadda event that I attended and I thoroughly enjoyed the event. It was a dream come true to meet celebrities like Mandira Bedi and Tara Sharma and get to know about their experiences as moms. It was a very informative and highlighting way of introducing Pampers Premium Care product for the first time.


The speaker at the event gave a detailed view on the product and we were given a demonstration on the use of the Pampers pants. The features highlighted were that the pants are soft on the baby's skin, they are absorbent, non irritating on the baby's skin and the baby has an undisturbed sleep at nights when the pants are worn by the baby. The liquid is also absorbed by the Pampers pants and the baby is left dry as the liquid does not touch the baby's tender skin. The Pampers representative also explained that the new Pampers brand shows us an advanced technology and is most hygienic for the baby.


This promotional event was very educative and left no doubt in the viewers' minds about the high quality of the product. After the moms spoke about the product and the things necessary for the baby, we were asked to check a box which had three different brand products inside and they were numbered "1", "2" and "3" respectively. There were voting meters as well on each table and we had just to feel the diapers inside the box and then mark our vote using the voting meter. I noticed that the softest product inside the box was "2" and surprisingly 92% of the viewers voted for the same. It was later revealed by Tara Sharma that the second product was of Pampers. The product was then unveiled to us and it was a huge box of the Pampers Premium Care product.



The speaker then showed us the advertisement of the Pampers brand and it was a very emotional moment for me as being a mother and grandmother, I could relate to those scenes and feel my child in my arms as the lady in the ad was carrying her baby and feeding her. Pampers is a brand that truly cares for the baby's skin and hence this product tells us why is it important to make a baby wear a diaper that is not only soft but also stretchable so as to not cause any rashes or marks on the tender skin of the baby.

Pizzas – Everyone’s Favorite Meal

Are you a Pizza fan ??? If so, then this article is for you.

Pizzas have become a craze for today’s generation and not only today’s generation but even older people love eating pizzas. Whenever I enter any restaurant for example Domino’s, I see more than youngsters, parents and older people holding a pizza in their hand and just loving the taste. After all, pizzas are just pizzas and nothing can be compared to it.

When a hot pizza is served before us, we just can see the steam coming out and the smell which is mouth-watering. We can’t resist this and just die to hold one piece in our hands and just forget the fact that the pizza is damn hot and can get our tongues burnt. The cheese melting down from the pizza is just so delicious to eat and no matter what the toppings are, we feel so calm and relaxed eating it. We just hold a pizza piece in one hand and a glass of coke in the other and their combination is just out of the world. We don’t mind spending our entire pocket money just for the sake to have one pizza at least which keeps us full for the next 3 hours.

Go to see, a pizza is just a piece of bread with cheese and some vegetables, but it has it has own craze and love among people that keeps it going and going. I can have a pizza daily but looking at the amount of one pizza crossing Rs. 400, I prefer having one in a week.

Unemployment

Unemployment is a very serious issue today and especially educated unemployment. There is more supply and less demand for workers and as a result, every year thousands of students pass out but only a few get gainfully employed. The drawbacks of unemployment are plenty. For instance, low financial standard of living, weakness in health, frustration, drug addiction is all the results of unemployment. It is the duty of the Government to provide work to all job seekers because incase this is not done, the growing rate of crime will increase as poverty will crepe in and thefts and robberies will increase and in extreme cases, people resort to even murder in order to snatch away gold or money from other persons. Unemployment is a salient feature of an undeveloped or under developed country.

All people have some or the other day gone through the phase of unemployment and the need to seek the right job with a good payment but very few succeed in getting the right job. This is a harsh truth about every country and the least we can do is wait for the correct opportunity and let our talent and hard work pay.

Dreams and their hidden meaning

Dreams are a state of unconscious mind and reveals what a person usually thinks about in the day time comes in the form of a dream. When one dream gets over, it is followed by another dream. Dreams also occur in the day and the person is called as a day dreams. Night dreams can be scary or magnificent, depending on the content. If a person sees a horror film and goes to sleep immediately, he may get a bizarre dream and children usually get sweet dreams of fairies, butterflies and they are innocent and naïve. Hence, their dreams reflect their conscious mind. When a person is dreaming, generally he is not completely asleep and his subconscious mind is still working. It is better to say a prayer so that we are free of dreams and have a sound sleep. I often used to get bad dreams at night and especially after watching horror movies and when I stopped it, my dreams also came to an end.

IPL and me

There is a huge buzz nowadays about the IPL. Cricket is a sport or an entertainment to call it, which binds all people to the match and millions of eyes remain on one thing and that is the ball. Not only the 11 fielders and 2 batsmen look at the ball but it is all the audience, the cameras and people sitting at home who keep watching as to where the ball is going to land. We cheer in joy if our favorite team player hits a six or four and shout and scream when the opponent hits one. For every wicket, we get nervous or happy depending on whom we are supporting. One thing which makes me watch the IPL is that there are Indians in every team so I get confused as to whom to support. Even I support players from other countries and get to know about new batsmen who join the teams of IPL.


It’s fun watching the matches and knowing who is going to win or lose them. 20-20 matches get over in about 4 hours but those 4 hours make me think as to what is going to happen and who is going to win. Test matches are for usually 5 days and that shows a lot of cricket and ODIs on the contrary last for more than 8 hours but the best thing about them is that they get over in a day’s time. My favorite is the 20-20 game as the result is out in few hours and I love watching the IPL as it is for nearly 2 months which shows me the talent of different cricketers whom we have never heard of but prove to be better than the senior players.

Have you won something??

I still remember the day when I won a prize in my college. There was a small competition in my college where they were giving prizes to the students who had the thing which they mention. They asked for a person who has worn contact lenses and I was the one. I went up to the stage and took the prize. I still cherish that day as I had never won anything before as I never took part in any competition as I had a stage fright. I can never forget that day as I felt like a winner although it was something small. I have also participated in dance competitions and other quizzes. I also won the third prize for a dance competition and that made me feel like a winner as I had learnt the dance on my own and did not take any training. After this, I won some small prizes by participating in small online competitions and others and feel great if I win something may it be small or big.
