Everyone loves shopping. No matter what, you have money or not, shopping does matter to everyone. Today, we have so many options around for everything. Starting from daily use goods to your personal care, you are surrounded by so many stores.

In a recent time, city has seen lot of changes in terms of development. The city will soon see a new bird THE BIG STORE; recently I saw a hoarding outside ERA MALL (impressive hoarding) . This store seems to be very promising, it coming up with new concept “India’s First compact hyper market on LED Light and Eco-friendly store”. We have started to see LED light in cars and its going to be quiet interesting to see a store with the same concept The Big store will be offering almost all kind of categories starting from groceries to shoes to electronics. Everything under one roof and they claim that nothing would be on MRP. They are giving the perception of saving money for everyone.


Hope This New Concept will bring A NEW and BRIGHT future for Meerut.

Diwali

The Hindu festival of lights is an occasion that brings out the best in each and every inhabitant of India - shopping for gifts, eating rich sweets, visiting family and friends, lighting up your home, playing cards and gambling, buying new clothes, and ushering in a new year.


Lighting little oil lamps, or “diyas”, symbolizes this, and everywhere in India, on Diwali night, “diyas” are lit, casting a magical feel to neighbourhoods.  Houses are decked with scores of little lanterns, and, increasingly in a city like Delhi, with rows of fairy lights.



Houses are a blaze of lights.  Diyas and fairy lights and lanterns and tinsel – homes literally are an extravagance of colour and sensory overload.


Days before Diwali, people begin shopping with a vengeance.  Traditionally, you offer sweets and dry fruit to family, friends and colleagues at Diwali, and then you criss-cross the city to deliver them, leading to mega festival-induced traffic jams.  But as this season is also one for huge festive discounts, people traditionally shop for major household purchases, too, so between the boxes of sweets, and the new fridge, and the new clothes for all those Diwali parties, this is a great time of the year for business.  Shops -  all decorated with lights and tinsel – stay open even later than usual, and shopping centres are jam-packed.




Reflecting tradition wrapped in modernity, playing cards is extremely popular on Diwali day. It is said that on playing cards, the goddess of wealth smile upon the player and ensures her goodwill. The memories of Diwali night can be joyful to the winners and the losers can't wait for the next Diwali to come around.


This day, with its emphasis on money, is also considered lucky for gambling by playing cards. Giving social sanction to a vice, a popular saying states that one who does not gamble on this day will reborn as a donkey in his next birth. Casinos and local gambling houses do brisk business during the Diwali week


In most homes, people invite their friends and relatives over to play cards. Friends get together to indulge in games of cards. Playing cards has long been an inexpensive form of entertainment for family gatherings. So playing cards in the days leading up to Diwali has become a social adjunct to this religious tradition.  Card parties are as much a part of present  Diwali as lighting up your home.



Ever festival in Delhi has its own spark and charm. Diwali start from lighting up home to decorating it with flowers to playing cards. For some playing cards is just for fun and for one night but for some it’s a night for gambling, or a moment to earn money with not much affords.


The night skies on Diwali are a riot of fireworks, which get more and more extravagant each year.For days – weeks even – before Diwali, youngsters roam the streets, setting off patakas or firecrackers, the night soundscape interrupted by volleys of explosions. 


The only down side to all this noisy happiness, is that pets, and all the stray dogs that live in India’s streets are absolutely terrorized.


1. Most of the shops you buy these from, do not adhere to the Excise Dept guidelines.
2. Crackers release a lot of Ultra-violet and Infrared radiation, which are harmful to the eyes and the body parts.
3. Diwali (Deepavali) is a festival of lights, not sound. Crackers can cause deafness.
4. Maximum number of Burn cases are reported in the Diwali season due to the improper use of crackers.
5. Humans might be able to protect themselves, but the crackers have a deep physical and mental impact upon animals.
6. Most crackers do not adhere to the Govt guidelines on Noise pollution and the sound of these crackers is above the permitted levels. In short, many are Illegal.
7. Levels of Air pollution, which are already high in India, reach astronomical levels on Diwali and can be very harmful to the human body.
8. Crackers and Fireworks are the single largest cause of respiratory diseases like Bronchial Asthma, Chronic Bronchitis and other Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases.


So, hopefully, you would have a fun-filled, beautiful and cracker free Diwali.

HAPPY DIWALI GUYS.. ENJOY URSELF AND PARTY HARD.

OVERCOMING ADDICTION


Addiction can also be viewed as a continued involvement with a substance or activity despite the negative consequences associated with it. Pleasure and enjoyment would have originally been sought; however, over a period of time involvement with the substance or activity is needed to feel normal.





People turn there habit into addiction and at later phase they got stuck in a disaster where there is no way out. 


It is the perception towards the object of addiction for an addict that he is not addicted. One has to change his/her perceptions towards life and things to change the addictions.




Perception of the object needs to be change. 


There are so many addiction of a human nature starting from fast food to alcohol or to sex…. 
Many people who struggle with drug and alcohol addiction may eventually wind up with an addiction of a life time damages the god gifted body and spirit.
Like Wine is statistically associated with a decrease in death due to cardiovascular events such as heart failure.
But over dose of anything is harmful..


ALCOHOL:
Consumption leads to stimulation of the nervous system where the body feels calm but since the few minutes are desire to the end up for few minutes, ended up getting addiction.



Sex.. 
Sex addicts engage in distorted thinking of ten rationalizing & justifying their behavior and blaming others for problems.


Sexual addiction also associated with risk taking. A person with a sex addiction engages in various forms of sexual activity, despite the potential for negative and/ or dangerous consequences. In addiction to damaging the addict’s relationships and interfering with his or her work and social life, a sexual addiction also puts the person at risk for emotional & physical inquiry.




Behaviors associated with sexual addiction:-
1. Compulsive masturbation
2. Multiple affairs
3. Multiple or anonymous sexual partners and/or one night stand
4. Consistent use of pornography
5. Unsafe sex
6. Exhibitionism
7. Phone or cyber sex
8. Obsessive dating through personal ads
9. Sexual harassment


A person with a sex addiction gains little satisfaction from the sexual activity & no emotional bond with his or her sex partners.
Problem of sex addiction often leads to feeling of guilt and shame. 




Smoking:


 You may love your life or you may hate it, but unless you are suicidal you wouldn't want to risk it. I hope you agree. So I guess we have already agreed upon something within such a short acquaintance, that's a good start.


Smoking is defined as the act of smelling or inhaling the smoke of a substance, mostly tobacco. There are many reasons for doing so, the most common being cultural reasons or peer pressure. Cigarettes, pipes and hookahs are the most popular methods of smoking and hence also the most injurious smoking elements for health.
The human body knows that smoking is injurious to health; therefore, it tries to counter it at the start. That is why coughing, sore throat, nausea and other negative feelings are aroused in the body when a person tries to smoke the first time. People start with one drag and end up into addiction.




Many people who struggle with smoke addiction may eventually wind up with an addiction of a life time damages the god gifted body and spirit, hard to get out of it.


For many people struggling with addiction, the biggest and toughest step toward recovery is the very first one: deciding to make a change. It’s normal to feel conflicted about giving up your drug of choice, even when you realize it’s causing problems in your life. Change is never easy—and committing to sobriety involves changing many things, including:


the way you deal with stress
who you allow in your life
what you do in your free time
how you think about yourself




You may wonder if you’re really ready for all that change or if you have what it takes to quit. It’s okay if you’re torn. Recovering from addiction is a long process, one that requires time, commitment, motivation, and support. As you contemplate your situation, the following tips can help you make the decision.


Gambling takes many forms from playing the lottery to betting on horses to high-stakes casino betting. Many people enjoy some form of gambling as a fun, but infrequent hobby or pastime. However, some suffer from a gambling addiction that can wreak havoc on their personal and financial lives. 


When a person suffers from a gambling addiction, there are fewer outward signs than other addictions. A gambling addict may feel depressed and suffer mood swings, but unless their financial situation is an open book to others, their problem may be severe before anyone notices. For this reason, gambling addiction is often referred to as a "hidden" addiction.


Unlike an average person gambling for fun, a person suffering from a gambling addiction does not know when to quit. They gamble more than they can afford to lose. They might gamble their rent or mortgage payment, their grocery money, or even their entire life savings.


A moderate addiction to money may not always be hurtful; but when taken in excess it is nearly always bad for the health.

Karva Chauth: fast from sunrise to moonrise


Karva chauth is an annual one-day festival celebrated by Hindu and some Sikh women in North India and parts of Pakistan in which married women fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety and longevity of their husbands.


Today Live in relationship and easy separation, found a regular space & acceptance from Indian Society, may be due to High acceptance of western cultural.

Does the Karva Chauth importance is still the same in Indian society or people are just following it for the sake of it? Does the concept like Karva chauth is only followed in villages?

In today society where the relationship is not bound with any promises & commitment, the Separation, live in relationship rate have increased.


The patience level in a relationship is no longer there. 


People find it’s easy to move in & out from a relationship which has bought the commitment level down. Due to fast moving life, the long term relationship phase is not there.


In between all this, KARVA CHAUTH is still has the same charm and magic. Women still follow the same tradition of fast from sunrise to moonrise for the safety and longevity of their husbands.

It’s true the live-in relationship does exist in Indian society but it didn’t affect the true tradition of Karva Chauth, it still has the same spark and charisma.


The festival of Karwa Chauth is celebrated mostly by North India. This event is growing bigger with each passing day. In addition to the traditional items such as henna, beauty products and fashionable clothes, the demand of special eateries are also gearing up. Nowadays, Karwa Chauth is more of fun than a serious festival.

ISLAND AS CHEAP AS HOUSE IN INDIA.


Greece is almost the synonymous with the word island.


With around 6000 islands in total, mostly privately owned, Greece is a land of private island paradise. Greece was a developed country with high standard of living and “very high” in Human Development Index.


Greece is facing economic hardships and has been defaulting on its loan for many years.



Greece main industry are tourism, shipping, industrial products, food & tobacco processing, textiles, chemical, metal products, mining & petroleum.


Greece also faced unemployment levels, an efficient bureaucracy, tax evasion & corruption.




After almost 15 years of stable economy growth, they again fell into the pond of recession due to high ratio of loans.


Now the conditions are so pathetic that the Greece government decided to sell all the islands and the luxury properties to erase some of its debt.


Earlier buying an island was the most difficult thing OR a most expensive dream. But now anyone can buy an island as low as 2 million dollars. For Indian who has dream of buying an Island then it is the right time to do so. Now buying an Island as cheap as a house in India, Life has changed so much.


However selling or buying an island is virtually impossible in this country, due to an elaborate maze of bureaucracy, which must be navigated at all governmental levels, plus military and religious regulations, decrees, laws, proclamations and a virtually non-existent land registry.

GOD BLESSES GREECE.
