Through the passage of time, you meet people that could turn your life around, who could be your family, teachers, people you look up to, or just about anyone. Life is full of positives; you just need to look in the right way with the right frame of mind. 


Growing up in a house full of children is tough, but it is fun. However, my parents being professionals themselves were too busy to be bringing us up single-handedly. That’s when she came in, Preeti our nanny. Having heard some terrible stories about caretakers, we didn’t open up to her. As the days passed we slowly accepted her presence and depended on her for literally everything.

Being a nanny is kind of weird, if I think about it, now that I’m a mother. As a nanny; you spend the entire day trying to do things for someone else’s child, feed them, bath them, protect them and in your own way fall in love with them. 

When I turned ten, I remember we went to our native place and I was lost in the village fair. For an excruciating few minutes I wandered around looking for my siblings, and when I saw them at a distance looking frantically for me, I ran towards them and threw myself at Preeti. It took me some time to realise that it was her who I expected to take care of me, it was her who I trusted to make right any wrong that may happen. 

It was then that I realised that she was now one of the most important presences in my life. 

Not only had Preeti masi earned my trust and love through her small special gestures inspite of my initial apprehensions but also my lifelong commitment to her through the personal relationship we had built together. I am sure she all had full faith and support of my parents as they left me in her care. 

Today at a ripe age of 60, she keeps telling me that she is ready to go back home, but I insist that she is home, doing what she likes best, taking care of a little girl. Preeti masi not only had a huge part to play in my life but now she plays a larger role in my daughter’s life. As a parent, I don’t feel threatened by her presence, her immense love and affection for my daughter and the manner she is a ‘maa’ to her. In fact, she is the only one I trust with my precious #PrincessHeer.


Do you have a similar relationship that began unexpectedly and has grown to become that will last forever? The Exide Life Insurance’s My Money Book is one such relationship that we must nurture to protect our loved ones.

I’ve spent most of my growing up years in a pair of sneakers and I firmly believe that they are the most comfortable footwear and ideal for everyday outings. However, the once not-so-popular type of footwear when dressing up has now caught the fashion world by frenzy and has become a style statement. Stylists today are loving sneakers and creating stylish and trendy combinations with them for even a feminine look. Being inspired by celebrities and movie stars, girls and women all over the world are experimenting pairing sneakers with feminine dresses, flowing skirts, neutral sheaths and even casual outfits. 

Over the last few weeks I’ve been going through my wardrobe and am looking forward to experimenting with some of the sneaker-outfit combinations, and if you do not own one versatile pair of sneaker, get one from your favourite store today. 

One of the most basic yet very rarely tried outfit combinations would be to pair an LBD during the day with a pair of black sneakers, and a compact handbag in a contrasting colour. I’d love to play with the shoelaces to add a unique twist to the entire look.
Another winning combination to try out would be a colour block maxi dress or a maxi skirt with a pair of checkered shoes. The most important aspect that I’d ensure is to keep the accessories to a minimum to let the sneakers do the talking. 
Sneakers have always been a hit when paired with shorts, however I’d love to pair a simple white pair of sneakers with a mini-dress or a mini-skirt. It would be a perfect daytime chic pairing that would stand-out in a crowd and create a dramatic effect. 
A tried and tested pairing of ripped jeans and an over-sized sweatshirt has always been my go-to style statement when stepping out of the house. To add instant glam to my casual look, I add a huge wrist accessory or one of my many watches to the combination. 
Last but not the least, I’d love to pair my favourite pair of Nike shoes to go clubbing or shopping with a basic pair of leggings and a dressy top. I’d throw over a jacket in a nude colour to look comfortable and trendy in any weather.

Do you like any of these style combinations? Is there any of these that you’ve already experimented with? Tell us in the comments below.

Our homes are an extension of our personalities, sometimes complex while sometimes simple yet extremely beautiful and unique. Never have I till date seen two people with similar personality traits or two home designed alike. That’s the beauty of individuals, which the good folks at Westside have identified and thus brought to us Westside Home that offers patrons endless possibilities to style their homes. With a new collection launched last weekend, Westside Home is a gorgeous amalgamation of beautifully curated inspiration board of home and lifestyle solutions that help us turn our houses into homes.



During the Press Preview, I has a chance to meet with the Category Head of Westside Home, Ms. Lyndsay Smith who is very passionate about transforming living spaces into homes that are classic as well as contemporary. While the discussion went on, I was surprised with her knowledge about Indian furniture silhouettes, furnishing fabrics and textures and above all the mindset through which the generation gap décor needs could be easily bridged. One of the highlights was how Westside Home strives to provide easy home solutions which are aesthetically great looking which being functionally perfect for modern homes. 



While browsing through the entire new collection there were 5 distinct categories that stood out…
§ Furniture: Living, Dining, Bedroom
§ Furnishing: Décor, Lighting, 
§ Soft Furnishing: Bedcovers and Sheets, Pillows and Cushions, Comforters
§ Bathroom Furnishings: Accessories and Bath Products
§ Kitchen Essentials: Gadgets, Cookware to Serveware and Table Linen



Apart from individual products, the team has come up with concept room décor that includes pre-designed living spaces across various rooms. This model is perfect as a lot of thought is put in each room set-up including colours, textures, fit and look. I’ve particularly loved a few that were on display at the Kalaghoda store over the weekend, including a cosy corner that can easily be set up in any part of any home. 



The fact that Westside Home offers a wide range of products at affordable prices, offers more choice and more value, makes it a perfect place to head to whether one is doing up a bachelor pad or a family home, a studio apartment or a grand villa, a vacation resort or a palatial mansion. 

I absolutely love the latest #HomeDecor range by Westside, browse the collection online or head to the stores across the country and shop your heart out.

Just like every year I looked forward to the monsoons this year and was euphoric as the rains arrived in Mumbai in a timely manner. Not only did the waters bring in a respite to all the water shortage in the city but also pushed us city dwellers to take the much-needed breaks during the weekends.

Since the last weekend was an extended weekend due to the Independence Day, we headed out of the city to enjoy the celebrations. Unfortunately for us the resort rooms that we were allotted were terribly damp with a few corners screaming of water seepage. Inspite of a few requests our rooms weren't changed due to the resort booked at full capacity. We thought about adjusting as we didn't want to go out looking for another accommodation. While discussing the problem with the manager the next morning we realised that water seepage is not only a super annoying yet common problem faced by majority property and homeowners but also a challenging situation to rectify for home improvement experts. Sometimes the problem is practically untraceable due to the varied factors of seepage such as cracks in external walls, honeycomb concrete, defective sealant and waterproofing membrane or faulty plumbing.

The water seepage at the resort seemed due to multiple problems such as faulty plumbing fixtures, roof drain pipe leakage and poor plaster on external walls. What we failed to understand that when simple solutions to these problems are so easily available why don't people ensure freedom from dampness? Over the next few days, we saw watermarks, blisters, bubbled wall paint on the walls that completely grossed us out. Apart from the visible wall deterioration, the seepage also caused fungal and bacterial growth on the walls which could cause health issues like allergies, respiratory problems and even an atmosphere of depression.



Once the weekend was over and we got home, we looked around the house and were thankful that we made the right decisions while building our home. We trusted only the experts; professionals who know their jobs and products that have stood the test of time. We ensured our #FreedomFromDampness by not only ensuring adequate wall thickness and proper construction joints but also using the right product for waterproofing the walls with Dr. Fixit Raincoat and the roof with Dr. Fixit Newcoat Ezee. Not only did we protect the exterior of our house but also the interior by using Dr. Fixit Dampguard for our internal walls & ceilings and Dr. Fixit Bathseal to negate any chance of leakage in the bathroom tile joint or plumbing. 

My weekend experience taught me a simple yet powerful lesson, that water is beautiful when it falls out of the sky or when it gushes down the tap, not when it's leaking through fixtures or walls. So as a homemaker, I vow to protect your family by protecting your homes with Dr. Fixit just like the intelligent lady in the video below. Watch, have fun and bring the doctor home!



A Happy and healthy home leads to a happy family as well. Check out more tips and solutions for home building, renovation at The Happy Homes Blog.

My first tryst with the Reliance Digital Store was a couple of years ago when I was amazed with the store’s offering in both national and international brands. In less than a couple of hours I knew more about the major product categories, the price ranges, the discounts and the service. It was the first time I understood that technological solutions are categorised into Home Appliances, Consumer Electronics, Information Technology and Telecommunications. So the visit was a great learning for me.
Last month when I moved into my new home I decided to opt for annual maintenance for all electronic items to set myself free from the day to day servicing hassle. Since I didn't want the chaos of contacting individual companies to register the products for extended warranty and service, I started browsing around for an all-inclusive plan. That’s when I remembered the Reliance Digital resQ After Sales Service that supports product installation, repair or maintenance and thought about connecting with them.

To be honest when I requested a home visit, I wasn't sure what to expect, but professionalism was what I knew I'd get. After spending a couple of hours at home today, the Customer Service Representative Sachin understood my requirement and worked out a great deal.



The annual maintenance contract has been just what I was looking for. I was amazed not only with the precision in which Sachin worked out the plan but also with his patience, product knowledge, positive attitude and commitment to delight the customer. He had.... 

Exemplary Communication Skills 

With technological advancements, brands have adopted newer digital ways to reach customers, however Reliance Digital still believes in keeping the human element present in interactions. Sachin, is a perfect example of how listening and understanding customer requirements and delivering beyond expectation always makes a great impact. He patiently heard all my queries, understood my needs, offered solutions and resolved my concerns with clear and precise information. 

In-depth Product Knowledge and Expertise

Brands brush off customer queries with product brochures and information leaflets when consumers seek more information regarding products and services. Sachin knew most of the information I was seeking, and apart from giving the information he also offered insights into the best products as per my usability and need.  He turned out to be an encyclopedia of product information, use instructions and service schedules. 

Problem-Solving Attitude

The most important thing that customers seek is a problem solving attitude, however most brands keep customers on hold and revert with half-baked information that does not help. Sachin was fantastic in this respect, he offered numerous solutions to my service concerns, sometimes even connecting to his manager to ensure he provided the information that is accurate and verifiable.



With such a positive attitude, professionalism and commitment it wasn't a surprise that I signed up for the resQ Care Plan to #BootUpYourLife. To know more about Reliance resQ click here.

India has a distinct cycle of seasons, however, what remains constant across seasons is the harsh sun and the curse that the hot temperatures bring with it. The heat, sun rays and humidity are just one part of the problem while the other part is skin darkening, dark spots and severe tanning. Even though I know the importance of skincare, I lack the zeal and enthusiasm to follow a routine on a day-to-day basis; sometimes even skipping the sunscreen, which ultimately shows on my skin.



Bare skin invites hordes of skin related issues, the worst of which are caused by the harmful UV rays from the sun. The only trick to stay protected is to use a sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 15 and more importantly a PA++. Another option to restore the natural glow of your skin is to cleanse, moisturise and protect it with natural and herbal products. One such product is Himalaya Herbal’s Fairness Kesar Face Pack; that is a unique natural formulation of turmeric, walnut, aloe and kesar to rejuvenate and cleanse the skin of impurities and reveal a natural glow. 

Since I’ve started using Himalaya Wellness products, I am amazed at the gentleness of the products and Himalaya Herbal’s Fairness Kesar Face Pack has exceeded all my expectations. The natural ingredients turmeric, walnut, aloe and kesar not only do the most important task of enhancing the complexion but also add elasticity and firmness to my skin. You can check the complete range of Himalaya Herbal natural products here. I prefer to use the pack twice every week to add softness and a natural glow to my skin.


Here’s how you make the most of Himalaya Herbal’s Fairness Kesar Face Pack: 

§ Apply Kesar Face Pack evenly over face and neck, avoiding the area around the eyes and mouth. 
§ Let the mask dry for 10-15 minutes and then remove with a wet sponge or towel. 
§ Rinse with cool water.

After reading about Canada, I’m starting to love the place. In fact, I don't think there could be any reason not to want to visit. Canada is a little world in itself with so much to offer every traveller, from mountains to glaciers, from lakes to forests, from cities to towns. Add to that list the amazing food options, the wildlife, and the hospitable people, and you'll want to pack your bags and visit the land of the Maple Leaf.

Every traveller will surely have a must-do list while travelling to an exotic location such as Canada, so I'm not going to speak about the places you must visit or experiences you must have during your trip. Instead, I'm going to talk to you about some of the places you must stay in Montreal and Vancouver. 

View Montreal from the Marriott Chateau Champlain
Montreal is the largest city in Quebec, a province that's French at heart and American in appearance. Known for its unique blend of traditions and influences, the Montreal Marriott Chateau Champlain is also famous for its French cuisine. In addition, the hotel boasts stunning panoramic views of historic statues and nearby parks.

Swim on the Rooftop of the Hotel Bonaventure  
Montreal boasts of some of the most breathtaking hidden swimming spots, one of which is the Hotel Bonaventure Montreal, an urban oasis offering a rooftop sanctuary. The stunning rooftop pool is one of the many facilities that travellers can enjoy, along with a full bar and a complete dining menu. The hotel allows night swims, where guests can have a magical experience soaking in the pool and gazing at the gorgeous night sky. 

Sight Cruise Ships at the Pan Pacific 
When visiting the bustling West Coast seaport of Vancouver, the Pan Pacific Vancouver is an ideal place to stay. Situated at Canada Place, the hotel is in the middle of all the action and the cruise ship hustle and bustle. Travellers who enjoy spotting cruise ships can even get lucky, with three berths full of ships docking at Vancouver's ports. 

Relive the Roaring Twenties at the Rosewood Hotel 
Travelling back in time to the 1920s is possible at the Rosewood Hotel Georgia. This five-star hotel has been meticulously restored to reflect the grandeur of the Roaring Twenties, and it transports vacationers back in time. The hotel also boasts live musical entertainment that creates an intimate, sophisticated ambience reminiscent of the era's speakeasies.

Experience Europe at the Sutton Place
The oldest neighbourhood in Vancouver is set against the majestic backdrop of mountains and seas. There, the Sutton Place Hotel Vancouver brings a taste of Europe to travellers. The hotel is also on Conde Nast Traveler's Gold List and Travel and Leisure’s Top 500 List, making it one of the best places to stay in Canada.

I want to stay at all these places. Where would you want to stay?

I keep reiterating about how important skincare is for me, however, I’m going to let you in on a secret. I am super lazy about skincare even though I know it is the only thing that’s going to keep my skin healthy and beautiful. I am at times even guilty of stepping out into the harsh Indian Summers without any sunscreen. Yes, I do that too.


However, I have seen the effects my laziness has on my skin in the long run; my skin looks jaded, listless and completely oozing with skin issues. And that’s when I realised that a few precious minutes every day of skincare could save me from long-term damage. And thus I began a religious effort of my skincare routine that begins with a face scrub and ends with face pack and what can be better than Himalaya Wellness products that are natural and herbal; perfect for all skin types. With Himalaya Herbal, my skincare routine has found the perfect companions to work with; you can check their complete range of skincare products here.



Especially since my skin is a combination skin type, I need to ensure that the products I use give me the right balance of purifying and energising features. Ever since I’ve started using the Himalaya Herbal Purifying Neem Pack twice a week, I’ve started to see a visible difference in my skin texture. The Neem Pack brings together the goodness of Neem, Fuller's Earth  (Multani Mitti) and Turmeric, which are great antibacterial and purifying ingredients which work together to regulate excess oil secretion, clean clogged pores and prevent the recurrence of pimples. I also regularly use the purifying Neem Scrub to cleanse my skin.

Here’s how you make the most of Himalaya Herbal’s Purifying Neem Pack: 

§ Apply Neem Pack evenly over clean face and neck, avoiding the area around the eyes and mouth. 
§ Let the mask dry for 10-15 minutes and then remove with a wet sponge or towel. 
§ Rinse with cool water. 
§ Use along with Himalaya Herbal's Purifying Neem Scrub.

One of the most important steps in my skincare routine is using a face scrub followed by a face pack. Hence, picking a product that is just right for me is a really crucial step, as it will either make or break what I’m trying to achieve. Over the years I have tried quite a few products, but none of them have given me satisfactory results as per my expectations. Thus I resorted to the next best option of making my own scrub to ensure it would suit my combination skin-type whilst exfoliating it to give it the freshness and glow my skin deserved.



I continued my routine until very recently I chanced upon Himalaya Wellness, a range of products that promise to infuse the natural goodness of herbal ingredients into skincare routines, you can check their complete range of skincare products here. The last few months with the Indian Summer scorching down my back I’ve completely depended upon Himalaya Herbal's Purifying Neem Scrub to keep my skin clean, hydrated and nourished.



Himalaya Herbal's Purifying Neem Scrub removes impurities and dead skin cells while cleansing excess oil from the skin's surface, reducing the occurrence of acne and blackheads. The scrub is blended with the goodness of Neem; that has purifying and antibacterial properties, Apricot; that has hydrating properties and Turmeric; that has regulating properties to control the production of sebum the oily substance produced by skin glands. The scrub is specially formulated to give clear, problem-free skin by not only scrubbing away the blackheads, dead skin cells and embedded impurities but also nourish and moisturise the skin to make it soft, fresh and radiant.



Since the time I’ve started to use the scrub regularly, I’ve noticed an improvement in the overall health of my skin as well as reduced occurrence of pimples and blemishes. I use the Neem Pack along with the Neem Scrub that gives me an added benefit of regulating excess oil secretion and cleaning clogged pores. I’ve been complimented on the natural glow of my skin and even skin tone.



Here’s how you make the most of Himalaya Herbal’s Purifying Neem Scrub: 

§ Apply Purifying Neem Scrub in a circular motion on the face and neck. 
§ Massage it gently into the skin for a couple of minutes, rinse with water and pat dry. 
§ Use at least once a week for clear, acne-free skin.
§ Seal with Himalaya Herbal's Purifying Neem Face Pack once a week.

Streetwear 
from the house of Modi-Revlon launched a new range of Colour-Rich lip-balms that are formulated to offer dual benefits of nourishment and sheer colour. In four trendy shades, the balms claim to turn chapped and flaky lips into smooth, shiny and add colour. Being high on shine and a soft gloss, they are perfect for everyday application. Launched in the hues of pink, peach, plum and coral the hoarder in me picked the newest shade of plum to review.


The first thing that delighted me was the gorgeous colour that the lippie came in, but it just doesn’t show as much on the application. I did however, try to apply a couple of times but then it starts to bleed and spread beyond the lip line. I like the texture that is pretty smooth and creamy and gives a gorgeous shine to the lips, giving an overall nude gloss effect. 


The balm does the job of cooling and moisturising but nothing to hydrate the lips. All-in-all it is a decent product, but due to the fact that even the staying power is not as much re-purchase is not on the cards. Given the price point of INR 150, it is an average buy. The best way to use it would be to layer it with a lipstick like I did with the Sugar Cosmetics in a similar shade.

After using and reviewing so many lip balms as my lipcare routine I do have a favourite one, which brand is your must-have for lip care?

We all know that even though we fight with our siblings like real enemies but we are still the best of friends when life hits us hard. Your sister has always loved you and will never threaten to leave you. She has seen the worst and the best of you which makes her a wonderful person to have your side. Siblings are always the one who genuinely understands the kind of person you are and the special connection that you share with her is simply inexplicable. Even though you might not share constant chats with her but you always know that she is there with you.



She is the one who knows your likes and dislikes. Remember the times that you were glued to the TV screen watching Chhota Bheem, Doraemon and even Captain America and she shopped for Chhota Bheem rakhi from the rakhi for kids section, just to make sure that you are happy. You can get ranges of gift options to make your choice from and you can shop for other interesting rakhi gifts for kids and get them delivered to your home.

She is the one who mostly pulled you out of trouble in school. Actually, most of the time it was because of your sister that you got landed up in trouble and maybe that is the reason why your parents never got to know about it.

If you have a crush on the boy that sits next to you, then it is your sister who will first come to know about it. Just by a mere glance at your face, she would know that you have a crush on somebody. She is the one who will encourage you and push you to achieve all your desires and goals. No matter whether it is the weirdest dream that you, she is the first person to rise up and support you.

Your sister has seen you going throw every phase of life be it the phase of your shy boy to being the macho man. She knows every bit of you and how you are really as a person. All the good, bad and ugly is laid out on the table since your childhood because of which your sister has always loved you the way you are. You have done some weird things together which quite often led to people staring at you.

She very well knows your inner strength and weakness. And the moment when you sell yourself short, she knows it very well how to boost your motivation to make sure that you achieve higher goals. She knows it very well where you hide your video game which has been a real treasure for you. Although she might steal it to annoy you or make you angry.

California, just its name makes one dream big. California captures the heart and soul of every traveller who ventures into the most populous western US state. Oozing with a dramatic terrain, cliff-lined beaches, redwood forest, the Sierra Nevada Mountains, Central Valley farmland, and the arid Mojave Desert encircle California. The main cities include the sprawling Los Angeles (home to the Hollywood entertainment industry), San Diego with its outdoor Zoo Safari Park, Furnace Creek in Death Valley, and San Francisco--the road to the Golden Gate Bridge.

With so much on offer to "Fuel Your Dreams," the state has some outstanding travel-friendly stay options to pick from. After scanning through numerous hotels, here are five hotels that make my list:


Caliente Tropics Hotel

A Tiki and Polynesian-style tropical hotel built in 1964, the Caliente Tropics Hotel has recently undergone a contemporary and modern makeover to suit the new-age traveller. Through remodelling the overall interiors of the facilities, rooms and the overall feel, the hotel has managed to keep its retro feel intact to offer the best location, recreation activities, and atmosphere in Palm Springs. 

Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs

The unimaginable design of a new Fender Stratocaster infused with the laid-back attitude of a reggae band, the Hard Rock Hotel Palm Springs delights the music sensibilities of every traveller. A one-of-its-kind music program, "Sound of Your Stay," enables guests to produce a personalized soundtrack of their stay in the hotel, which will forever serve as a special reminder of your stay at the hotel.


V Palm Springs

The desert inspired theme of V Palm Springs emulates the natural, soulful spirit of the open-air hotel. The mountainous backdrop offers breath-taking views to travellers who can even opt for the hotel’s ‘Strip Down Promotion’ that encourages travellers to embrace the tantalizing desert playground while staying undressed and getting a room, in a one-of-its-kind initiative that takes one back in time.

Pismo Lighthouse Suites

The Pismo Lighthouse Suites is the only all-suite hotel in Pismo Beach that has a beautiful oceanfront view whether travellers opt for suites with either a private patio or a private balcony. With easy access to the Pismo Beach as well as multiple activities, the hotel is perfect for all guests. A life-size game of chess is the highlight of the outdoor activities the hotel offers, which people of all ages enjoy.

The Cliffs

The Cliffs Image is all about "living in luxury," whether a guest prefers sweeping mountain vistas or an idyllic lakefront home. The full-service resort with amazing views and world-class amenities boasts amazing golf courses and wine trails along with exceptional guest experiences. With a perfect mix of seclusion when travellers want peace and entertainment when travellers want fun, the Cliffs has the best of both amenities.

So while you check out these amazing stay options don't forget to make a checklist of all you want to do. One of the easiest ways to make sure you don't miss anything important is to take the celebrated, cost-hugging drive that begins in San Diego, at the southern end of the state and ends in the San Francisco.

Get travelling.
