Even before the exams have begun we are finalising where we want to spend our holidays before the results hit us right in-between our eyes, and we get into the professional grind. From kindergarten to university we stuck around each other, so a getaway before we moved on with our lives was a must. Luckily we are going to embark on our most awaited holiday soon ... a road trip to witness the treasures of Europe.

It was a tough task convincing parents of three single young girls women, that they are perfectly capable of taking a road trip abroad without a chaperone. We argued, fought, cried and refused to eat … when finally our parents gave up and said 'YES'.

With tons of DO's and DONT's Sadia, Poonam and I were all set to fly to London to my maternal uncle’s house and start our trip. We promised ourselves just one suitcase, so we would all be back with loads of goodies. My uncle was sport enough to lend us his Aston Martin Virage Volante provided we passed his driving expectations and our international license was in place. And that would indeed be a dream come true!

So here is the drill….

After a few driving trials with uncle, we shall drive to Dover which is about a couple of hours away from London. Though there are numerous ways to cross across to Calais from Dover, we shall take a unique route which luckily will also be the fastest - The Shuttle Train.

Imagining the fantastic experience it will be, all vehicles are to drive on board the train to park within it. Once parked people can move around in the cabins to witness the train zooming through an underwater tunnel.

Clicking pictures against the backdrop of the massive cabin, with glass windows overlooking into cyan waters our trip will indeed start on a high note. And even before we shall be able to savour it all, everyone will be summoned to go back to their vehicles and be ready to disembark. It is Dover to Calais in straight 30 minutes.

Driving through France we will definitely make numerous stops to enjoy the scenic beauty, slowly yet steadily zipping towards Strasbourg. A stopover at a hotel to relish the famous French wines is on our list of things to do, that we shall ensure we enjoy almost immediately with staple local cuisine. It’s our little secret.

After resting, the morning shall invite us into the lush Black Forest region of southern Germany compelling us to forget all about the hectic Mumbai traffic. A pre-booked afternoon slot at the Cuckoo Palace for a demonstration of cuckoo clocks will give us loads of time to move around on wheels to witness the forest path change colours from lush green to dark brown and finally a serene black through the morning. After the demo, while checking the collection we'd be reminded of our early playschools days. Singing the long-forgotten nursery rhyme, “Hickory Dickory Dock, the mouse ran up the clock…” we'd pick up souvenirs to bring back home. I better not forget the ornate cuckoo clock that mom has made me promise to get her.

Since we’d share the driving responsibilities, we‘d be able to pack more things into each day to maximize our crazed adventure. After gorging on the world famous Black Forest Gateaux, we shall cross the border to Switzerland. The Rhine Falls will be as inviting as ever and will lure us into climbing to the Viewing Platforms to get a spectacular view of the water body.

Poonam has vertigo, so we've been insisting that she give it a shot with us, as it's going to be her only opportunity. A pact to hold her hand throughout while gazing at the skies above and water below has already been made.

I am going to conspire to drive from this point to the next – Luzern, to the Lion Monument.

The Lion of Lucerne, as it is known was designed by Bertel Thorvaldsen to commemorate the Swiss Guards who were massacred during the French Revolution. Visiting the sculpture of a mortally-wounded lion which is not only the most mournful and moving piece of stone in the world but also is the most photographed monument will mark our moment in history.

They say 'When in Rome, do as Romans do' so in Switzerland we plan to spend the night in a log cottage at the base of the humongous mountain ranges; sleep in cosy swiss blanket bags and have goat milk, cheese and loaves for breakfast.

The third day will be dedicated to enjoying the scenic beauty of Switzerland and depending on our mood and if weather permits we'd embark on the Mt.Titlis hike. Else we'd love to enjoy the panoramic view of Bollywood's favourite romantic destination; driving around sipping hot chocolate and shopping. A Swiss knife for my brother, loads of chocolates for everyone back home and a nice watch for myself.

After a chilling and leisurely stay in Switzerland how about being unable to set foot on land? asks Sadia when outlining our plans. Yes, that sure sounds exciting; we shouted in unison! Hence next on the agenda is the city of water, the city of romance - Venice. Famous for its architectural marvels, beautiful and serene waters, entertaining people and romantic gondola rides it will be dreamy to live on a boat, listening to waters caressing and smoothing our souls. No one travelling through Europe would want to miss this city, would you?

How about setting eyes on an absolutely gorgeous man while loitering around St. Mark's Square, since we will be in Venice the city of romance, a little fling would be most appropriate, isn't it? Ah, ha ...dream!

Venice opens many doors for the tourist - one can drive down to Rome or Florence or Geneva or Pisa. It sure is going to be a contest between the Leaning Tower in Pisa and the Jet d’Eau in Geneva. We are divided on the next stop and it will be a spur of the moment decision that day or we'd flip a coin to decide our next stop.

Where ever we go next, our final destination will be the Mecca of Fashion – Paris. It sure will be a longish drive of the tour anywhere between 7 hours from Geneva to 12 hours from Pisa. Phew, that sure will be tiring!

Once in the dream city, the 3 friends are going to enjoy the 3F's of Paris!

Hahaha, not what you're thinking - the 3F's of Paris are – Fashion, Food and Fragrance!

Like most girls, I'd love to meet my Prince Charming in Paris. Setting eyes on each other while walking down the Champs-Élysées to exchanging a few words at the Arc de Triomphe. Wouldn't it be a dream to search for him under the illuminated Eiffel Tower to then finally sail away hand-in-hand over River Seine.

Since Paris is our must-visit, must-enjoy location we've reserved a couple of days to enjoy every aspect of the routine site-seeing recommendations. Apart from those we sure want to spend a night at the Eiffel Tower gazing at this man-made marvel, camping at the base with the besties; cracking jokes, munching on French takeaway dinner, clicking pictures, and dreaming about love.

Paris is not only famous for fashion, food and fragrances but also for its vibrant nightlife. Dancing girls, sequins, feather and cabaret – we have booked our table for Moulin Rouge. Yes, pre-booking works out comparatively inexpensive and you're able to get the best seats in the house, with super views.

Going Café-Pub hopping to enjoy the local cuisine, shopping from brand boutiques and local shops, visiting a perfumery and climbing right to the top of the Eiffel Tower to get a bird’s view of the city, sailing over river Seine are all packed in a day. We are deciding whether to take the hot air balloon ride or not, haven't decided as yet, we'll see.

One day has been reserved for shopping, window or otherwise. Clothes, perfumes, accessories, hats, shoes, you name it and get it. Hope our shopping bags all fit into the booth of the Aston Martin Virage Volante as we shall go crazy shopping in the Marais and the speciality boutiques all over Paris.

And finally, after a fun-filled super-duper girly getaway, we shall head back to London via the same route we arrived, Calais-Dover-London.

Do we need to end the trip? Do we need to come home, back to our jobs? Is there a way we can add an element to our trip?

Oriflame Lip Balm Haul and ReviewNew Year is here, and so are the winters.

A season that I love and hate... I love it for it's festive aura and I hate it for the dryness it brings to my skin. My skin especially my lips dry up so much I sometimes worry they may crumble.

Letters To My Daughter

I cried wanting to move to the next phase of life,
but every month I was left sulking merely as a wife. 
Days became months and they turned into years, 
people said nasty stuff, in his arms I hid my tears. 

It was almost impossible for my survival,
when finally you announced your arrival.
Every day I waited for news about you,
but I was told you still aren't due. 

Juggling duties I dreamt about a miracle, 
he laughed at me teasing about a pinnacle.
Time passed quickly in all your stirring, 
just as the golden date was nearing. 

When daddu held you in his hands, 
I only touched your golden hair strands. 
Holding you so close to our heart, 
we marvelled at God's work of art. 

We promised to get you the stars and the moon,
work hard for you, our cherished god sent boon. 

Yes, as parents every individual wants the best for their children. Even when asked the cobbler on the street has great aspirations for his child just as any millionaire. That's what parenthood is all about. Giving your child the best, sometimes even beyond your own means. I had read numerous articles but I started to identify and relate to those feelings when I first held my princess in my arms. I promised my princess, things which were beyond the price tag. Things which only parents are capable of giving their child.

Gift of Life
Every child receives this gift from his parents, however, it is the duty of the parents to ensure excellent quality of life they provide to the child. The gift of life is largely affected by it's quality. When we gave princess a gift of life, we made a promise to her not only to maintain the quality but also to protect it against all odds. Apart from providing all pre-requisites that ensure healthy living which includes nutritious food, timely vaccinations, safe environment and sound rest, we strongly recommend an investment in Cord Blood Banking and Dental Stem Cell Banking.

Cord Blood and Dental Stem are rich sources of blood, stem and mesenchymal cells; building blocks of the blood and immune system. These cells have the ability to develop into various cells which can help repair tissues, organs, blood vessels and can be used to treat potentially fatal diseases too. The frozen stem-cell rich cord blood and teeth will weave it's magic to create crucial aspects of the body giving the child a better chance of making a full recovery in case faced with some life-threatening moments. Why discard a magic portion when you have an option to store it?

Gift of Love
It is silly to even question a parent's love for a child. It comes as naturally as breathing, as automatically as blinking and as emotionally as tears. But just loving your child isn't enough. For a child to feel loved, parents have to express their love. How does a little baby know his mother from the rest of the world by mere touch? Because of love. We want to keep that connect with princess much beyond the initial years.

Today, everything else is less important than princess, so the job's taken a backseat and so has the business. Every moment princess needs us, we'd be by her side. We have a lot of help around the house, but we committed ourselves to look after princess without the help of a nanny. We want to do silly things with her, be children and grow with her - strengthening our bond and giving her the assurance that we are there for her whenever she needs us. Love is felt when we run around the trees, build sand castles and even when we watch her favourite cartoon together. Sharing cuddles, bringing smiles, exchanging kisses have formed a regular part of our daily lives. Remember distance doesn't make the heart fonder, it makes it lonely; so be there to show your love.

Gift of Values
Every parent wants a child who has high values in life. But how does one instil these simple yet important values? I've witnessed parents talk to children about how they need to behave with others, how not to hit out or scream, pray, etc. With princess we don't teach her how to do things.... we show her how to do it.

We pray every morning and involve her, we visit our place of worship and perform puja together building her belief in the greater power. During tough situations, we speak to her calmly and patiently never raising our voices or raising our hands to inculcate that into her. We treat our house help, neighbours and everyone we come across fairly setting an example for her. And above all we treat our elders with utmost respect and love, thus receiving the same from her.

Gift of Education
The stepping stone to face the big world out there is education. Every parent has great aspirations for their children, dreaming about them as doctors, engineers, businessmen, etc. Many fail to understand that education is not only about the degrees. It is also about what a child learns. The promise that we've made to our princess is about holistic education.

When an educational degree is backed by values, understanding and learnings then our princess will be a truly educated person. As parents we will always be there to show her the right path, however, we wish to build such an environment around her that she realises when she is mistaken and rectifies herself without having to be corrected. That in our view is Education. As princess grows, one thing we wish for her to take from us as parents is our love for reading. Books are those silent educators that teach us a lot without examinations and the results are the ones that are seen for life.

Gift of Security
Building a secure environment for a child to flourish and grow without having to worry about the future is the biggest challenge parents face. Security is multi-dimensional with financial, emotional and physical aspects. To ensure a healthy and secure future for their child parents must keep all these aspects in mind and make appropriate investments. For us, the security commitment we make towards our princess will be multi-faceted.

The emotional security has been guarded with a fortress-like support system of family and friends who will help her sail through the rough weathers when she encounters them. Her physical well-being has been insured with Cord Blood and Teeth Stem Cell banking and a great child mediclaim policy.

To ensure her financial security we have not only invested in a great Child Plan from a leading financial institution but also secured her future with life policies for both of us. In case of an unfavourable event in our life, her life should not be turned upside down due to financial constraints. We are planning on getting her a YoungStar Children’s Plans, a plan that builds a savings fund designed to accumulate wealth for her future. The plan will ensure great payouts during crucial years that will give her the wings to fly to her dreams.

These are some of the essentials that we've chalked out to secure the future of our princess. What are the steps you've taken to do so for your child?

It's a Happy Happy Sunday! Today is the day I publish my 50th post. Yahoo! Vola! Awesome!

However I am going to do something a bit different, rather than publish a post that I've already been working on. A regular friend on my blog would have heard a lot about my #PrincessHeer and myself in many of my posts, however you may know hardly anything about the man behind the blog.

So today's landmark post is dedicated to my HUSBAND, the man behind my blog.

Reasons My Husband Is The Best Husband and Best Father

It's been 7 years since we've been together, married within six months of meeting each other. The moment I saw him, I knew 'HE' was the one. I know for a fact that I would never have found anyone even closely perfect as him. He is an outrageous partner in crime, a loving romantic husband and a fabulous father among a zillion other things. That doesn't mean he doesn't drive me crazy, he's not stubborn, or demanding or even nagging at times. However having said that he is the only one for me, who I can love so unconditionally from the core of my being.

I want to shout a 100 reasons I love about my husband, but I am going to restrict myself to 10. Tough but.

Reasons My Husband Is The Best Husband and Best Father

He has my back covered. I am always assured that hubby is and will always be there for me by my side. A true partner in every sense of the word.

I trust him more than I trust myself. I know its never possible to do that but with him I don't think twice when he says something, it's a given that he is right even though at times I argue.

Reasons My Husband Is The Best Husband and Best Father

He has a fantastic sense of humour, quick almost lightning speed. We use his humour as a soothing strategy when things get tough to break the invisible circle of stress. His child-like smile and hearty laughter tug the strings of my heart. 

He is by far the most generous person I have ever know. He gives his time, his talent and sometimes even his money without procrastinating. He just gives without expecting anything in return, inspiring me to change my heart too.

Why My Husband Is The Best Husband and Best Father

His desire for me, his passion his interest and his love for me has not dimmed since we've been together. His commitment towards us as a family, honesty even if he is sure it will offend me is impeccable. And above all, he is HOT.

The manner in which he let's go, forgives and comforts. I love the way he forgives me so easily when I make mistakes, knowing that my behaviour irritates and frustrates him. Even though I am not the easiest person to live with, he remains calm understanding and patient with me.

Why My Husband Is The Best Husband and Best Father

He always sees positive in others and challenges me to see that. Be it a family member, friend or just an acquaintance, when I go off the hook he helps me see the best in them and helps me grow as a person. 

He pushes and supports me all the way to achieving small landmarks to reach my dream, building on larger and bigger dreams. This blog is much more his dream for me than my dream for myself. His silent words of appreciation and motivation push me beyond my limits.

Why My Husband Is The Best Husband and Best Father

We are remarkably similar in many aspects to make life extremely comfortable yet different enough to make life interesting. We compliment each other perfectly. 

He is the most amazing DAD. I am envious of the way our princess bonds with him... sharing cuddles, laughs and even arguments and their cute fights. He is so proud of her and the way both their eyes light up when they are together.

Why My Husband Is The Best Husband and Best Father

The fact that while writing this I have been smiling throughout. I LOVE YOU, am honoured you chose me to share your life with. I could go on and on, but I better end this now before he does something to irritate me and I decide to scrap this post.

Why My Husband Is The Best Husband and Best Father

Great guy, right? Yep I found him. Have you found yours? What do you love the most about your guy? If yes, appreciate him today.

Until next time,
~ Heena

Lenovo Tablet Review

With a little princess who wants to explore all things that are rightfully not supposed to be available to her, it is quite a task to save not only my wallet and but also my your electronic devices.

Be it my laptop, the mobile phone and even my camera I have to ensure that they are far far away from her reach. Well, I was just a bit delayed in my understanding the curious mind of a 24-month-old. The things that she is truly capable of doing without any help from anyone who in his right mind will lend her a helping hand for all the craziness she eludes.

One day I overlooked the fact that my laptop was sitting pretty on my bed after I worked on a creative assignment, yes I have the privilege of working from home courtesy my boss whom I call Superman. Oh so back to the laptop, when pretty princess saw it and was finally able to have a way with the electronic piece she had been eyeing forever, all hell broke loose. Dearest husband, instead of stopping her had the nerve to go rampant clicking numerous pictures of her for me to enjoy at a later time.

However, I choose to look at the brighter side of this misadventure, it was finally time to buy a lovely tablet.

After numerous rounds of the electronics store, I set my eyes firmly on the new edition piece. I was so happy exploring and adjusting the working of the tablet when I accidentally dropped it while trying to hold it with one hand. But I was sure, it would be safe as the height wasn't even two feet. But my bad luck preceded me and the tablet screen hit the leg of the sofa and shattered. In a matter of seconds, I experienced emotions as varied as ignorance, carelessness to horror, anger, and finally resignation.

Finally, after loads of inquiries with the brand customer care, I didn't know what to do next. The brand service centre offered a replacement at a horrible INR 15k while the local shop offered a replacement at INR 7k. I opted for the local service and with INR 7k poorer I was given the tablet in about 2 week's time.


As soon as I received I was so glad, it looked as good as new. However, the moment I started using it, I realized that not only the screen was shaky but the touch-response was slower as well. Phew.... so now the tablet is sitting pretty in the study and is used once in a while by the princess who is all exploring things.  


So what will I use a tablet for?

  • I'd use a tablet as my morning newspaper while enjoying a cuppa without having to worry about turning the huge pages or looking for the news articles amongst all the adverts. 
  • I'd use a tablet as my notebook, jotting down my ideas and thoughts. The full-size keyboard available when you need it and otherwise hidden is a boon in disguise. 
  • I'd use a tablet throughout the day for web-browsing as it is a fantastic experience, with great navigation, zoom options and even supports various applications.
  • I'd use a tablet for entertainment when I'm bored. Be it watching movies or listening to music or even playing games - a tablet is available, convenient to carry around and the battery lasts almost twice as much as a laptop.
  • I'd use a tablet as my office on the run.... never miss an important mail, be prompt and always be connected no matter where I am. 
  • I'd use a tablet as my best friend who I speak to, smile at while taking selfies and videos.
Does a tablet work for me? Yes! most definitely, but with some limitations.

Product Strengths: 

⟡ Hands-on, easy to use and understand
⟡ Convenient, small and portable
⟡ Great user experience, faster and safer

Product Weaknesses: 

⟡ A built-in keyboard but no hardware support
⟡ Negligible local storage and no external storage support
⟡ Price ranges from INR 15k to 65k

So basically what do I expect from a perfect product? Being in a creative field I would love for a Tablet to do more than the basics of:


- serving as a notebook for jotting down my thoughts and ideas

- serving as a camera for clicking picture and recording videos
- serving as a tool for browsing information
- serving as an entertainment device and humour me when bored

Being technologically challenged, what I'd like a Tablet to be is a one-stop solution that can completely replace my laptop. It needs to be a hub for running all types of software, it needs to ensure ease of accessing information stored on other devices, it should be flexible to allow linking of an external keyboard and it should, of course, offer flexibility of modes. Having scanned the tablet market only one brand comes close to delivering few specifics, it's the Lenovo Yoga Tablet which promises users a #BetterWay.


The feature that I think would impact user experience is the multi-mode posture of the Lenovo Yoga Tablet providing flexibility, convenience and above all comfort for its users. 


Have you heard about the Lenovo Yoga Tablet?  Tried it? Leave me your comments.


Should I get one for myself?

Last week I was invited to the Panasonic Experience Center in Mumbai for a tete-a-tete with renowned Stylist Kapil Sharma of Kapil's Salon and Academy. The event started at 11 am and was spread across the entire day with different time slots given to various bloggers, to ensure one-on-one interactions.

My Experience At The Panasonic Centre

As fit for a queen, a Camry arrived at 10:45 am to pick me up from my residence. We arrived at the centre in about 45 minutes and we ushered in by some wonderful hosts. As soon we arrived, I was taken around and I was simply amazed. The amazing products were displayed for customers to see, feel and experience before they make the decision to purchase. Really tell me who gives customers that type of luxury? One thing that the centre proudly, yet silently announces is that they are so sure about their products.

Soon I was taken to the event area where members of Kapil's Academy were demonstrating beauty routines using Panasonic Beauty Products. I first used the Full Body Massager Chair to relax and rewind. After a good 15 minutes indulging in a lower back and foot massage that happened simultaneously, I moved to the next leg of the event.

My Experience At The Panasonic Centre

Hair Analysis and Styling using Panasonic Hair Drier cum Styler. The stylists from the academy were experts who were willing to share information and answer all our queries. Luckily even with all the silly things that I keep doing with my hair... straightening, re-bonding, hairstyles, sprays, etc, etc I was glad to be told that the health of my hair was extremely good.

My Experience At The Panasonic Centre

The awesome product that Panasonic has come up with, with multiple attachments, convenient and above easy to use I instantly fell in love with it. Since at the moment my hair is re-bonded and as straight as it can get, I opted to try the soft curls look.

My Experience At The Panasonic Centre

Here is the result...

My Experience At The Panasonic Centre

Let me know what you think. I simply loved the time I spent at the Center. And then off I went with springs in my footsteps and a twinkle in my eyes.

Being a new mommie, one of the things I miss most is maintaining the length of my nails a bit longer than I do at the moment. For reasons all mommies will relate to, it's best to maintain short, blunt nails. So my nails are a bit longer than the finger tops, just like the water overflowing from a glass a drop at a time.

Oriflame More by Demi Nail Polish Haul and Review

Well whatever that was, I was thinking. Now let's get back to the nail polishes I received for my very first Oriflame mini haul. I simply love all the products and tried the nail polishes as soon as I could. The colours were so festive right for the upcoming holiday season.

Oriflame More by Demi Nail Polish Haul and Review

What's special about Oriflame More by Demi Nail Polish?
Liven your nails with the bold and rich colours of Oriflame More by Demi Nail Polish. Ensuring resistance to colour fade, high on creamy gloss and available in exciting shades, the range brings out the lovely woman inside you. 

In what shades is the polish available? 
Oriflame More by Demi Nail Polish is available in six exciting colours including Hollywood Red, Pink Drama, Black Red, Daring Brown, Forbidden Burgundy and Tea Rose. 

How is the product packaged and priced?
Packaged in a very classy glass bottle with a gold metallic cap and goes into a rectangular ivory card box. It is priced at INR 389 for 7ml. 

Whats my experience and opinion about the product?
I simply fell in love with the shade Tea Rose. The shade was so pure without any undertones. The application was smooth and even and the product delivered what it promised. A glossy finish, non-transparent in two light coats. And the best is that it dries instantly, staying for more than a couple of days. 

Product Strengths: 
⟡ Available in great shades
⟡ Flawless application spreads evenly and dries instantly
⟡ Fantastic durability stays well doesn't chip or fade

Product Weaknesses: 
⟡ One coat too light, 2 coats perfect
⟡ Not available over the counter
⟡ Price point a bit high for some

Will I recommend the product to friends/family?                        Sure, Yes!
Will I purchase the product again for personal use?                  Definitely

Until next time,
