Learning Blogging is not a one day job , it’s a journey and I am already on this wonderful journey . This time ,  I chose to read the   eBook -Blogging Basics by Bushra Nausheen . The book mentions all the basics if anyone wants  to start a new blog -how to start  and where to start .  The author shares few important tips for blog beginners – like domain name , hosting , designing etc  which can prove out to be very helpful . Actually in the month of April 2018  , I participated in one of the blogging challenges #superbloggerchallenge2018 and  that was hosted by the author of this book. That challenge was very well planned and I had got to learn  many  blog tips and tricks . Dr Bushra , along with her co-host Dr Amrita had well prepared newsletters , tutorials , blog prompts and many other little tasks for the participants of the challenge along with the motivation to follow the same . I was impressed with both the hosts of that challenge and this made me pick the book writt...

You know one year ago , I knew only of facebook and little of Instagram . Then I started blogging and my interaction with twitter started . Twitter is a great social media platform .  The other platform Pinterest was something I had heard of , but never used really . Actually I did try it I think in my vacation in June 2017 but that time it appeared complex  to me . I could see hell lot of images images and images , although very provoking and tempting . But  how were  just these images useful to me ?   And I didn’t even know how people created those colorful catchy images . After trying my hands on it for few days , I uninstalled the Pinterest app from my phone .  The  year  2018  brought # superbloggerchallenge2018 , a ten week long blogging challenge .  It is still going on and I am participating. This challenge is helping me learn new techniques and  develop new skills . The hosts introduced all the participants to Pinterest and told how useful it is . I have started using it...

Today when I was just reading other blogs on Indiblogger,  See what I came across : The pic and the quote struck my mind and I started writing on it . What a beautiful and meaningful quote “Blogging is like riding a bicycle . You don’t fall off unless you stop. ” Yes I  am riding the cycle of blogging   and I find it true . I think every blogger would find it true . Keep riding your cycle , however slow or fast  . With every pedal you push , you are bound to move ahead .   No doubt every push requires your efforts , but this is also sure  that you would get result for your efforts . Blogging is like riding a bicycle & It boosts brainpower Just like riding  a bicycle is a great exercise to keep your body fit, in the same way Blogging is a very good exercise for your brain . You get to read so many other blogs and you brainstorm to write . That’s  what keeps brain lubricated. Blogging is like riding a bicycle & It improves your emotional health Just like ri...

I wanted to write about the things I have learned or loved about #superbloggerchallenge2018 as  yet .Oh ! For my nonblogger friends , let me tell you that #superbloggerchallenge2018 is a 10 week long blogging challenge in which I am participating .  The challenge has reached halfway and 6th week has started . This challenge is co-hosted by three wonderful bloggers , Dr Amrita , Dr Bushra and  Foodietweeter Uttpal Krushna . My connection with Dr Amrita started with # MMM . She is an avid reader with her love for her  balcony  garden. I feel connected with her through her blog healthwealthbridge where she keeps posting about various health issues or blogging secrets or parenting tips . I sometimes feel very surprised how she manages to take out time for blogging too after her tiring  Doctor routine . The second host  is Dr Bushra who blogs all about a woman -health , beauty  , food or lifestyle . I love her advice of talking practical in one’s blog and not just adding another the...

What are the 5 factors  Controlling your life ? In simple language , What are the 5 things you can’t live without ? Someone asked me this question and my reflexive  nerves ( which were bychance in a cool mood ) gave a quick answer –  Roti , Kapda and Wifi  . Hehe ! This is today’s tagline .  But then I was asked to give a thoughtful answer that Are there seriously few things I can’t live without ?  What are those things ? Do  those things complete  my living or Have I just given them unnecessary  VIP importance in my life? My mind started pondering over  and I analyzed my daily routine from morning till the time I go to bed . What are the  things which I find difficult to abstain from . Are these  things the controlling factors of my life ?  Do I want to reduce their control on my life ?  My brain and heart both said YES . But How ? This HOW part is difficult  . Before I can actually start to exercise  a control over the factors ,  let me write those  firstly . M...

When it comes to health , we follow many advices , like go for a walk , don’t have fried food , have more of fruits , etc. etc. etc.  We are able to follow few , be consistent and again drop because of one or the other reasons . One health consciousness trick that we can be consistent with and which is very easy to follow, is to have more of water . As summers are approaching , body’s need for water even further increases .

The benefits of detox water are many : Toxins are flushed away : Detox word itself explains that it is going to get rid the body of toxins . Flu...

Like you , I also feel worried many times upon the quality of foods that we are eating . There are so many videos floating on whatsapp that show how artificial veggies are being created . When I find  my and my family’s health at stake , It pushes my mind to think and research more  about organic  food . Organic Food Advantages Chemical Free – Organic food is grown without any pesticides or chemicals . So you can have it without the worries of anything bogging your system down . You can mentally feel relaxed that yes ! you are really having healthy food . Inorganic foods which have been grown with the help of dangerous pesticides , are the cause of  developing  many diseases like immune disorders, hypertension and even taking your heart slowly towards cardiac diseases . So the need is to go organic . Natural Nutrient Food — When the food is grown naturally , without any chemicals speeding up its maturation , then its natural nutrients are kept intact . So you get to h...

Updated on June 28, 2020 Weight-loss is something that can be heard being discussed in almost every group of women. Someone has gained kilos , someone inches . Someone’s thighs have become heavy and someone’s tummy is bulging front outward. Well ! I want to share my weight-loss story today which helped me  reduce from XXL to XL After my pregnancy I  gained too much of weight . My daughter in my tummy had  rewarded me an additional weight of 22 kg ( Ugh that’s too much but you know I was on complete bedrest for all those months ) Actually I was never a slim-n-sleek kind of girl . Even before pregnancy I weighed 67 kg which increased to 89 kg by 9th month of pregnancy.  Within 2-3 years of my daughter’s birth , my body  shed away 10 kg  without much effort, just by the  routine job exertion . And then my weight stood still around 79 kg  and the needle of the weighing  machine  just didn’t seem to be in a mood to displace much .  Most of the dresses had to be ...
