Ice Cream - I guess this is the most popular food item and it will always bring water in the mouth. Weather it is a 80 year old uncle or some one in the age group of 40-50 years, or a IT professional like me who belongs to the age group of 25-30 years or a small kid of 5-8 years, every body like Ice Cream. I have seen many people who are fond of eating ice-creams.

According to Wikipedia Ice Cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, combined with fruits or other ingredients. You can check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_cream for more detail on Ice Cream.

How many of you are aware from the National Ice Cream Month? Today only I came to know that July is considered as the National Ice Cream Month. As according to Ronald Reagan the President of International Dairy Foods Association, July is treated as the National Ice Cream Month, and this event is following from 1984. You can also watch this video from Youtube:

For me Ice Cream are always a treat, despite of it’s flavor. I always prefer to eat ice cream after the dinner. As I am now aware that July is the National Ice Cream Month so I will eat more and more Ice Cream this month, and I am wishing Happy National Ice Cream Month to you all.

The morning of 26th June brought two sad news to us and those are the death of the two mega stars Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett. First the news of the death of the Farrah Fawcett, who was struggling against Cancer from last three years, came and then we hear that due to a cardiac arrest in Los Angeles Michael Jackson also died.

Michael Jackson, who was probably the world’s most known person, died at the age of 50. He was the person who undoubtedly changed the world of music. We first came to know about his death via twitter the popular social networking site, many celebrities (actors and musicians) sent there condolences in twitter.

Although Jackson was a controversial personality but his contribution to the world of music can not be overruled. He was the magician, and his loss would never be filled up by any one. I am feeling sad about his parents and fans.

On the other hand Farrrah Dawcett, the best-selling pinup girl in history, lost her battle against cancer. She was 62. She was struggling against Cancer from last three years. It was her brilliant performance as one of the three sexy crime fighters in Charlie’s Angels, which brought her popularity and fame. One of her poster in a red swimsuit sold around 12 millions copies, which is the best record so far for a poster.

My deep condolences for the death of these two mega stars Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett.

Imagine you are being given the Padmashri Award and somehow you cannot go to receive it. Wouldn’t you feel the unluckiest person on this planet? Well maybe Dhoni and Harbhajan Singh doesn’t share the same feelings as yours. They missed the recent Padamshri Award ceremony according to their own convenience and didn’t quite feel like explaining why they did so. They both were expected to be present at the Rashtrapati Bhavan ceremony to receive their respective awards but they failed to accept their awards as they chose not to attend the prestigious ceremony.

Dhoni cited the excuse of commercial commitments where as Harbhajan Singh had family matters to attend to. Well which one of us doesn’t have a family or job to take care of? But would we ever miss such an opportunity to receive the Padmashri award? Probably the cricketers should understand that they are celebrities and not just any other ordinary people. They should understand that in a cricket crazy nation like ours, people follow them as gods and anything they say or do has direct impact on their fans. Rather than building an example in front of their fans, it’s sad to see the cricketer’s behavior towards the award.

There should be stricter government regulations towards such indecent acts and the government should seek a formal apology from the cricketers. It is such a shameful matter that such celebrities in their own right failed to respect the honors given to them by our government. We all should know how to respect the honors and awards given to us because it is almost derogatory and insulting to the country and its people when celebrities fail to acknowledge such high ranked awards given by the government. In fact in future no such honors should be given to these cricketers if they don’t know how to respect the country and its government.

Its again that time of the year which many despise-exams. It’s during these months that most colleges hold their exams and all the canteens and movie halls go deserted as students prepare for exams. But the scene is always different for the ones in their last year. They suffer the biggest dilemma that is what to do next.  Sometimes the confusion is so much so that students suffer from a sort of pre midlife crisis.

Lifestyle change: the biggest thing which the students have to deal with is the sudden lifestyle change. In college a student just has to study and enjoy life with his friends. When in college a student is used to hanging out with friends and enjoying life. But as soon as the college comes to an end, the thought of getting out and making a life on their own can be very challenging. It can obviously be quite disturbing for a person to work 9-10 hours a day when all he is used to is meeting his friend’s everyday or sleeping in the lectures!

What to do next syndrome: after the college ends, most of the students have no clue what to do next. This is mainly because most of the students enter college into a rush, if the college is good they get admission without thinking much that if they really want to pursue the course or not. So when the college ends, most students are in dilemma as to what to do next. Well there is a little relief as they have lots of options to choose from. The most preferred choice is to opt for a PG course. Its only after the undergraduate course ends that most students realize that this is not what they want to do. So opt for a PG course with specialization which you want to pursue.

Follow your heart: there are many students who want to pursue their dreams but due to parental pressure have to abide by whatever their parents want for them. If you really believe that you would be able to do good in a field then start your career in that field, irrespective of the course you have done because few years down the line weightage is given to your work experience rather than the degrees you hold.

Last year my favorite team was Kolkata Knight Riders, though the team did not played well enough to reach to the semifinal stage but till the last match I supported the team. Although I liked the Mumbai Indians and Delhi Daredevils too but none of them reached to the finals of the IPL session one last year.

Many people were asking me the favorite team for this session, so I thought to post my choice. As expected it was Kolkata Knight Riders till two days back, but the removal of Saurav Ganguly as the skipper of the team caused my heart break and I decided to not follow the team matches now. I strongly believe that Saurav Ganguly was the best ever player from Kolkata so far, and he should be the skipper of any team which is basically developed in the name of Kolkata. It is one sort of insult for Dada, and I would not support the team now.

This session I have also decided that I am not going to support the matches in which Harbhajan Singh and Mahender Singh Dhoni were playing. It is because that these two players were my favorite players, but a few days’ back they insulted the nation, by skipping the Padma Shri award function, which is the most prestigious award for the civilians of India. This clearly indicates that these people are now an image which is bigger than their country, which I never appreciate, although I know I am no one to put finger on these celebrities, they are such a big guys that they would not be affected from such type of opposes, but, still I think I should oppose them. I love my country India and I will never support the people who will do any thing to insult my nation, so I am here by announcing that I will not support the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians any way in the matches from now on.

I think that Mr. Dhoni is now thinking that no one will ever replace him from the captaincy of Team India, but friend you never know when you are out from the frame. People love you because you have served the nation, but if you are going to insult the nation no one is going to love you then. Same for Mr. Bhajji too, we still remember the face of Bhajji after the slap incident (with Shreesanth during last session) and when BCCI was suppose to ban him forever.

Any ways, I do like the Mumbai Indians team because of the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, who was not only the icon but he is the greatest son of India. MS Dhoni and Harbhajan should at least take a few lesson from him, he has never missed any such type of award function despite the busy schedule. Any ways leave the issue now, so the three teams are out of my mind and they are KKR, MI, and CSK. Now coming to the fourth team which is for sure not suppose to get my support, and that is Rajasthan Royals, the defending champions.

I have mentioned the reasons against them in the last article: The Best Example of Globalization. Now out of the remaining four team Kings XI Punjab, Delhi Daredevils, Bangalore Royal Challengers, and Deccan Chargers, I don’t have any reason to support the last two depending on the performance in the last session. So for me only two options are left, one of them is Kings XI Punjab. I like the team but I am not the supporter of this team.

So this year I am going to support the Delhi Daredevils, the reason behind this is the form of the dashing openers Virender Sehwag and Gautam Gambhir. Other then them I too like Amit Mishra, Ashish Nehra, Manoj Tiwary, Farvej Maharoof, McGrath and Dilshan. So for this session my favorite team for IPL 2 is Delhi Daredevils.

So summers are back again and I am sure you all are looking forward to your pool parties and beach vacations! Summer is a time for all of us to rejoice and enjoy and also flaunt the best in our wardrobe. But along with the chirpiness, summer has its own drawbacks like sharp sunlight, sweat, heat strokes and body odor! So here are certain tips to keep you going during the summer time so that you can get the most out of your summer days.

Keep your cool: during the intense heat, try to keep yourself cool by taking in cold drinks, cool juices or ice creams. This would help you to keep the heat at bay. You can also try some interesting options like fruit smoothies, ice cream blended cold coffees, cool custards or the ever famous sugarcane juice and lemon water.

Cold water: one of the best things to keep the heat away is to simply sip on cold water time to time. Also it would help you replenish the water content in your body which you have lost through sweating. Try to drink at least 10 glasses of water daily and if you tend to sweat more, then drink more than that. But remember one thing, never take cold water just after coming from outside during summer time, it will harm you.

Shade yourself: always carry an umbrella with you while going out in the sun to escape the harsh sun rays. Most of us only tend to take care of our skin in summers, but forget that it’s the head and hair which have contact with direct sunlight. So carrying an umbrella is a must or try wearing hats, they will look trendier and also save you from sun rays. When traveling by car, try to get tinted window glasses as they will shield you from the sunlight.

Sunscreen lotion: it’s one of the most important investments in summers. Look out for a good sunscreen lotion to protect your skin from the sunlight and going by the Indian standards, it should be at least SPF 30 or above.

Smell good: always keep a deodorant handy while going out as it will save you from sweating excessively. Also go for a nice perfume as it will make you smell better and avoid the body odor.

I never realized how taxing it is to choose a right immigration consultant till I started going around with a friend of mine in search of one! Within minutes of discussion, we realized that their knowledge base was limited to information available on websites. In case of problem situations and unresolved queries, they were at total loss. Majority of them were found to be one man shows, sitting in home offices or cabinet size cabins!

Anyways, our visits provided following results and learning’s:

1. Deal with an Immigration consulting company and not a one man show who may turn out to be a fly-by-night operator.
2. The more experience – like matured wine- the company has in Immigration consulting business, the better it is.
3. Insist on interaction, even if it just by emails, with principal consultant who is responsible for managing your application.  If one’s boss is not available BEFORE signing and making payment, for sure he will not be in AFTER you make the payment!
4. And in the end, look for a mature and seasoned person as your Immigration consultant since immigration is a life changing decision.

We short listed ABHINAV after the due diligence and were pleased to have made the right choice! During our visit to ABHINAV Bangalore office, the company executives showed us reference letters of successful clients. That, besides their demonstrated knowledge skills, convinced us that ABHINAV was the right company to process my friend’s application for Australian permanent resident visa. ABHINAV made no wrong commitment especially on job front. Majority of other consultants guaranteed jobs in Australia as part of their mandate. ABHINAV made it clear that they cannot offer any such guarantee and that their main mandate is to ensure successful acceptance of his immigration application.

My friend decided to go to Australia through ABHINAV and various immigration stages including skills assessment and application approval were smoothly managed. Today my friend is well settled in Australia.

While the application was being processed, we realized how important it is to have the right guide in processing of an immigration application. My friend required guidance at every stage – for qualifications assessed or after positive assessment meeting the migration stage requirements. ABHINAV had managed a long list of clients with a profile similar to my friend and hence had past successful precedents to relate and compare to.

After the visa was issued, my friend faced another situation as he did not know anybody in Australia. ABHINAV introduced him to one of the clients who was well established in Australia. That ensued that my friend received all the post landing facilities including Airport pick-up, temporary boarding and lodging services, opening of bank account, registration with relevant Government departments and finally introduction to job agencies.

Our experience with ABHINAV as our chosen Immigration consultant was a pleasant one.

Life is full of tensions and we need some sort of entertainment to get relief. Check these five tips which will help us to become tension free:

1. Sit back and relax: though in today’s time there is no dearth of worries but every once in a while you should just let go. Problems are a part of life and there is no way you can escape from them. So if you have to face them in any case then why not face them coolly?
2. Find solutions: if you have a problem giving you nightmares off late, then try to find out possible solutions to that problem rather than running away from it or just taking tension about it. Work out the possible solutions and try them. If one doesn’t work then the other would, certainly.
3. What is there to lose? : may be nothing is working out from your end and you think you’ll never get a solution to your problem-what’s the worst that can happen to you? Think at the most what you will lose with the problem. When you start thinking in the way that there is nothing to lose then you tend to stop worrying.
4. Have a positive attitude: always remember to have a positive attitude towards things. If you have a challenge then rather than worrying about it, work towards emerging triumphant. When you have a positive attitude, solutions to problems keep coming naturally to you. There nothing in this world which you can’t do.
5. Seek medical advice: ok, so maybe you are of the types who hit the panic button too easily. In such a situation nothing seems to be working. It’s better to visit a doctor and seek his advice if you just can’t stop taking tension, before thing get worse.
