I was a little overweight by about 10 kilograms. So last year I joined a weight loss program where you don't have to do any workout, yet loose weight by burning fat and therapy. The pricing was high as they said the machines used in the programs are expensive and the entire procedure requires expert staff. I joined the program despite the high pricing. In the first month there was dras...

I am from India where sun is so hot and sometimes it leaves your skin tanned forever. I have tried many sunscreen lotions of various brands but found myself tanned after coming back from sun. I consulted many beauticians, they told me to try this pack, then that lotion but none reduced my tan significantly. Then one of my friends told me to try JOVEES SUNBLOCK as she found it good. She als...

I bought this thermal cooker two year back. My aunt was using it and she suggested trying it. I am using this thermal cooker since then.  Here, in my place, rice is the main course for lunch and dinner along with curries. And rice takes a long while to cook and so uses lot of cooking gas. But by using this thermal cooker you can save a lot of cooking energy. You just boil the rice and t...

I bought this emergency lamp last week. We shifted to this new place three months back. The last place where we stayed had inverter facility. Here they don’t provide that. Initially there were very few electricity faults.  But as soon as monsoon (rainy season) came, current cuts became frequent. I thought of buying inverter first, and then as we will have another transfer in near...

I bought this beautiful curio made of seashells from kanya kumari. Kanya kumari is sea side tourist destination in India. It is very famous for spectacular sunrise and sunsets.  At kanya kumari you will see lots of products made of sea shells. This one particularly captured my attention. It is made in the shape of a pot with a plant. Plant also has flowers. It is very simple and yet is...

Dharamsala is one of the ace tourist spots in Himachal Pradesh. Dharamshala offers the magnificent view of snow covered Dhauladhar peaks. We (me and my husband) visited the place almost two years back. We never felt that kind of relaxation after any of our other travels. The place is really breathtaking. The scenery, the calmness, the serenity all just gets into your mind and soul. I...

'Mega living-30 days to a perfect life ' is from the author Robin.S.Sharma. I had read his earlier book "The monk who sold his Ferrari". So I took this from library for reading. It is good but half of what is written is common knowledge. New or inspiring ideas are few. His earlier book was just too good, so I expected something more from him. The 30 day plan is g...

I have been using Citibank credit card for almost 10 months. It is a master card.  It has some collaboration with Indian oil and hence most of the petrol pumps don't charge surcharge. Not only that there are some chargeback schemes also. That is a great advantage for me as I am using car every day. But it really took sometime for the application to process. We had to wait for thre...

I have been using this printer for almost six months. I bought this because one of my friends recommended it. But from my experience it is not that good an option. It might have been if my usage was less.  I take 50 or more printouts daily. I had to change the ink cartridge twice by now. If I use high resolution, printing speed becomes very slow. Not only that more ink gets consumed...

My husband is working with Samsung and he got this as a free gift from the company, as part of last year’s Diwali bonus. He gave it to me as he had another company mobile. Since then I am using it. I like its color and stylish look. And it is user friendly. This mobile has inbuilt MP3 player and camera. For the mp3 player the sound clarity is just ok. In the case of Camera, picture ...

Actually my husband bought this shoe for him. But somehow it ended up with me. Even though he sometimes uses it, mostly I use it when I go to gym or for walking. Earlier I was using another brand and was quite comfortable with it. Then my husband bought this and he stopped using it. Then I decided to try it. It felt more soft and light weight. Overall it was more comfortable walk...

This is the last book I read from Julia Quinn.  I had read her earlier books and I am quite impressed by the way she unfolds the story. It contains the right amount of humor, suspense, thrill, and romance. This is the sixth book in the popular Bridgerton family series, in which the widowed Francesca Bridgerton gets a second chance at love. I enjoyed reading this just like her other boo...

We visited this resort last May. We came to know about this resort from a travel agency which we regularly use for our travel purposes. Then we searched about this resort through online.  We found their website. It is www.carmeliahaven.com  In the website every thing was very picturesque and inviting. We took three days and two night’s package, with the help of travel agency...

KANE AND ABEL is one among the best sellers of Jeffrey Archer. This story revolves around two characters Abel and Kane.  One was born rich while other penniless and their lives cross in a ruthless struggle to gain money and power. In my opinion, there are lots of life- like situations in this novel that you feel like you are living through them. Both the characters are powerful and capt...

We visited Kanyakumari, also known as Cape Comorin, last November. It is the southern most tip of Indian peninsula. It is located in Tamilnadu state, India. It is around 85 km drive from my place. We started out in the morning and reached there in 3 hours. We checked into a hotel which we had booked earlier. Kanya kumari is mostly famous for sunrise and sunsets, as this is the only place ...

I bought my microwave oven two years back. We bought this directly from the company, at a discounted rate; given by the company to its entire staff (my husband is working there). It’s a combination oven; it can be used for grilling as well as has all the usual functionalities.  The oven has 20 L capacity. Another good feature of this oven is it’s ‘power defrost&rsquo...

 I started using this body spray 2 months back. Earlier I was using another brand. This one I chose randomly from the shop. I checked various samples in the shop and finally selected this one. It is moderately priced as well had good smell. The company was also good and it was made of natural oils. I want my perfume or deodorant to be subtle. I want something, which will be there with ...

 Yepp is a comparatively new product launched by Samsung. We bought this around six months back. That was when it was about to launch officially. It is a very compact digital player as well as memory storage device.  It plays only MP3 format. It also has inbuilt FM radio. Its small size makes it easy to carry around. This particular one has 512 MB storage. The cost of the produ...

We bought this electronic thermometer 1 year back. Earlier we were using the clinical thermometer. One day it broke and the mercury was all over the room. I knew that mercury was poison, with my baby boy running along, I was afraid that he might get hold of some little drop from the floor. I had to mop the entire room twice before I was satisfied.Then I decided to buy an electronic thermome...
