Kraftly App - A Unique Mobile Marketplace

In an era dominated by 'Mobile Intelligent' people, every possible activity of our routine life is getting exposed to web-based applications. With hundreds of mobile apps available these days, it is difficult to choose the best one which offers trusted and reliable service. Recently, I read about a mobile marketplace that allows to buy and sell unique handcrafted products at the comfort of your home. Obviously, I was curious to give it a try.

With uncertainty in my mind about the platform compatibility, I explored Play Store on my Android phone and felt happy to find the "K" icon shining bright. (the good news is that the app is available at Apple Store too). As usual, I checked the size of the app before I could touch the Install button and realized that the App is not going to eat up lot of data in my phone (well, I need to be smart while utilize my limited internet data).

Signing up with Facebook saved me some precious time and I was digging for the reasons what features can excite my shopaholic soul ;)

Kraftly presents colourful Shops to display quirky items scattered among categories. The flawless navigation through product categories is the matter of a soft touch. I enjoyed creating my own Collection to keep a track of my favourite items that I shortlisted to order.

Kraftly also enhances the shopping experience by searching and browsing for products using location as a filter. Not just that, a buyer can directly interact with a seller and ask for details of specific item before placing an order. Isn't it just amazing? This Ask Seller feature is certainly a feather in the Kraftly cap.

Other than usual Payment options provided, Kraftly gives the buyer liberty to directly deposit the money into seller's wallet and avail the item at relatively lesser price.

The Kraftly story doesn't end here ;) The cherry on the cake is that a user earns 500 free rewards points on Signing Up, and also by sharing the App on Facebook and Twitter as well as by inviting the friends. These rewards can be used to make payments for the purchases. The user can check the record of his earnings under My Credits option.

A list of active coupons by different sellers with clearly mentioned Expiry Date is yet another attraction to tempt buyers like me ;)

Using Kraftly as a buyer had been a smooth run all through. For the people willing to unveil the app for selling something, its an effortless process of few minutes to create your shop without any formal documentation required :)  Kraftly ensures a completely transparent transaction follow-up for the genuine sellers.
Kraftly has definitely emerged as a unique app-only marketplace of India and is gaining attention due to its systematic methodology to operate in online business.

Zippy Zica Unveiled on Goa Greens

My association with Indiblogger has been a treasured one since the day I got to be one of its approved member. Indiblogger's wider reach among its readers is one of the reasons why I feel so special connecting with it. I regularly participate in IB activities and campaigns while penning down the topics it publishes. But there was something that I could never participate in and almost felt dejected for the same i.e. Indiblogger Meets. I always considered my fellow bloggers quite lucky when they cover the events conducted by IB with brands.
Recently, when I came across the Gear Up for Great campaign by Tata Motors that was inviting bloggers for a all-expenses paid trip to Goa, I couldn't resist my temptation to apply for it. To be honest, I barely had any hope to get shortlisted. And this is because I had completely forgot about it after applying. But to my utter surprise, my heart actually skipped a beat as I received a call from team IB on 24 Nov. evening asking whether I'm ready for a #madeofgreat Goa trip??
Before I could answer him, my brain started making calculations about will my hubby give me consent to travel alone, will he be able to manage my son in my absence and ofcourse will I be able to avail leave from office etc... I guess this trip and Indimeet was destined for me, so I could work out all my issues and sent my formal consent to team IB. There was still some doubt in my mind to make my way for the event. But all my anxiety got over in next 24 hrs, when the list of fortunate 60 bloggers was published on IB. Can't express how privileged it felt to see my name among those talented people on board. And then started my prep for Goa..I was literally day dreaming all the time about the Zippy Car to be unveiled before our eyes and the lush beautiful Goan land ...
Team IB took good care of all the travel and stay prior to the day of journey and also kept in touch via emails regarding event details.
And then the day finally arrived when I was ready to step in the Spicejet boeing aircraft.

Rising above the city of capital, I started capturing some glimpses of the tiny elements seen on Earth from that height...not only because I was enjoying every minute of my first flight, but it was strict instruction from my li'l boy to forward him the live happenings as soon as possible. ;)  And the pic below turned out to be one of his fav during my flight. I had forwarded him this pic via whatsapp asking "do you see something special in it?" And my boy could quickly point out the Bahai Lotus Temple in it :)

On the Goa Airport, the bloggers including myself were received by representatives of team IB as well as Tata Motors. The commute from airport to the resort Alila Diwa was very well managed in a luxurious van for all the bloggers in groups of 7-8 at a time.

Landing on the green land of Goa, the first thing that I could notice is the rise in temperature that was almost double as compared to Chandigarh ;) After a drive of almost 20 mins, we reached this exceptionally beautiful resort Alila Diwa.

All my fatigue vanished as I sipped in the fresh Kokum juice as the welcome drink. A quick registration on the reception and we checked into our spectacular rooms elegantly furnished with wooden flooring. A relaxing corner in the balcony was my fav corner to relax these two days that offered a soothing view of swaying palm trees...

The hungry souls then headed to the Spice Studio, the dining area of the resort, that served variety of delicious food and desserts. I could instantly relate the name 'Spice Studio' as I had a glimpse of many whole-spices displayed underneath a glass on the dining table. 

Some of us were eager to explore the resort property and other wanted to relax. I, being a photography enthusiast, decided to get into the groove and utilize my limited time of stay there.

In the midst of all the fun, the IB representatives humbly reminded us of the scheduled beach activities for the evening. And so it was time of creating another charming look for me ;) I wore a floor-length maxi dress and bedazzled it with a matching statement necklace. (we gals, you see..) 

Oh my my!! the breathtaking view of the Gonsua Beach in Majorda was calling us .. Super-charged for the memorable eve, we participated in challenges thrown on us in form of games and activities. 

Here I share yet another lovely pic where I scribbled a message for my li'l boy saying "Miss U Shamit" ... no wonder he loved it a load..

With so many wonderful people around and experiencing a blissful time, I had forgotten the world that worries me so much and I wanted to greet life with my arms open in a novel spirit all together different from my usual viewpoint. This candid moment spelled nothing less than Nirwana to me and I could breathe 'hope' n 'spirituality' deeper n deeper within me :) Needless to say, I cherish this moment above everything else.  

Returning back to the resort, a hi-tea invite came with the Karaoke night celebration along with a special presentation at the Locker Room. Frankly, it sounded bit strange to me to attend the presentation in the locker room and not at the conference room. But I knew team IB and Tata Motors masters the art of giving pleasant surprises. It didn't comes to my wildest imagination that a personalized section would be dedicated to each of 60 bloggers with blue Messi jersey and other cool goodies. Aww, my eyes didn't blink for a minute as I saw Cyrus Sahukar entering all dressed in the similar jersey .. The witty guy made everyone giggle with his signature comic style

Team Tata Motors revealed the journey of the making of Zica-The Zippy Car through a informative presentation and this was the most unexpected revelation when the wooden wall slided to one side and we could witness the beauty in Sunburst Orange right in front of our eyes!!

Day 1 ended with tummyfull food and soulful performances by fellow bloggers.. Before saying good night, everyone was asked to get ready early morning on Sunday morning forgetting the usual long sleeping hours ;) I had so much of excitement for the next day's drive that I seriously flipped in my bed all the night waiting to travel through the town in new Zica. 

Relishing the South Indian breakfast on the 6th arranged at Vivo, I met my team members outside the resort. 

Both the petrol and diesel variants of Zica were waiting for us to roar on the roads of Goa. I, with my team members Supriya and Abhishek, got into stylish new Zica after the flag off to gain the driving pleasure. 

Uff, Zica incorporates specs like any high-end vehicle encompassing advance safety features, multi-drive modes, excellent sound quality, rear parking sensors etc.  I exclusively loved the voice-controlled Navigation app and JukeCar app. I found the diesel model more refined than petrol one. The overall feel, comfort, design and performance of Zica spread a smile on our faces. 

Discovering the excellence of the automobile giant, I'm extremely impressed and my vote of trust goes in favour of Tata Motors once again. 

A selfie with the beauty was surely well-deserved before handing over it back to its owners :P 

No pleasures can replace the joy of such fulfilling moments...My heartfelt thanks to the entire team of Indiblogger and Tata Motors for making this #fantastico event happen and also to the humble staff of Alila Diwa for A-one hospitality. 

I swear everything we did on this weekend was wondrously #madeofgreat... and gave us a reason to keep our heads up :)

Technocrat Bosses are happier

Are you a working professional? How do you get on with you boss? Umm, you won't be daring to comment on it, I guess. Many of us just pretend to get on well with our bosses. In my case, I work with a female boss whose scary look certainly make my heart skip a beat (due to fear obviously) :(
So many times, there is a feeling in my heart to control her with a remote and ensure her actions on my beats ..haha.. Atleast, I would be able to stop her thinking of layoff at my workplace to save the livelihood of my colleagues and ofcourse, myself. Honestly, my boss is a ocean of wisdom when it comes to administrating, but she can create death-like terror in office with her presence. Recently, on her birthday, just to show our gratitude, all the staff members gifted her a brand new smartphone from Micromax and woah! she can list herself among top #technocrats now. wanna know how?

Pic Source

She would sit in her AC office most of the time instead of keeping a vigil eye on employess and will click selfies pouting so smartly ;) Oh yeah! her photography skills have improved in quite a few days.. After every few hours, you will find her updating her DP on WhatsApp with a smile which is something rare to witness if you see her in person ;) And it gives me a chance to come in her good book by sending her heartwarming compliments.

She would now spend most of her time 'reaserching' ideas that can make her a better manager by turning crappy projects into fun-filled ones to involve volunteers. Truly, we the employees don't mind engaging in such activities :)

Something that used to scare many people in office earlier was when she supervises whether we utilized all resources to utmost possibility and gives her sarcastic feedback. Now she is more on connecting with us on social platforms forwarding her valuable inputs with cute smily and we may heave a sigh of relief. ;) Even she has started approving 'Leaves'/ day offs on Whatsapp or messanger in view of supporting paperless work ! Clap clap for the noble thought :P

How can I forget mentioning her peppy ringtones that are center of attraction whenever her phone rings ;)
The other side of the story is that not only the world (read office staff) is happy to find her engrossed in her action-packed gadget, but staying in touch with all the employees 24*7 over the phone through so many Apps makes her feel like a real Boss.

I can see more of a happier person now, because being gizmo-freak is not always creepy, but can change someone's life for better :)

Asus Promises Har Pal Happiness in Your Life

This is that time of the year that shoppers like me are focusing their attention looking for right gift for the special and important people in their lives. The markets are flooded with gifts of every budget suited for everyone's choice. But when I say 'right gift', I literally mean that there is one special gift that actually makes the receiver happiest. I always liked making others feel loved with little 'gifts of utility' that fit in their lifestyle somewhere and remind them that someone care for them.

To me, gifting is an act of showing unselfish concern to the ones who matter to you without expecting anything in reciprocation. Exchanging gifts is one of the most humble way to express your feelings of love, care, regard, gratitude and at times apologies too. And in every relation, it reinforces internal satisfaction and strengthens the bond between people :)

And now, when the sparkling festival of India is nearing, it requires a lot of head-scratching deciding what gift items will illuminate the life of my loved ones. I can see myself spending all my savings buying beautiful tokens of love for everyone and thereby indulging in a memorable celebration of festival of lights.

You know there are some very 'expressive' people in my family who don't mind giving clear hints on what they want as Diwali Gift ;) Like my brother, who had been messaging me almost every second day with one new item to be added into his wish list. Greedy soul you see!! But what to do, the youngest sibling claims it as his right to demand anything from eldest sis... The latest one in his wishlist is a new smart phone which I thought is going to dig a deep hole in my pocket..

Anyways, I started searching for the best option... and felt on cloud nine seeing an extraordinary "Har Pal Happiness Offer" by Asus. 

Why I call it extraordinary?? The offer says that the customers buying an ASUS Zenfone will get a chance to win Flipkart gift vouchers worth Rs.1,000 every hour. And, one lucky customer will also stand a chance to win gold vouchers worth Rs.25,000 every day! The offer is a win-win situation where I not only spread #HarPalHappiness in my brother's life, but also stand to gift happiness to myself.
I truly am fascinated by the new series by Asus that is tempting me to buy an ultra smart gadget from Zenfone Selfie, Zenfone 2 Laser, Zenfone 2 Deluxe or Zenfone Go.
Its simply the best way to celebrate Diwali with Asus and hey the offer is valid till 11th November, 15. So make the best out of it.

Happy Shopping & Happy Celebrations!

Fastest Net Surfing With Airtel 4G

Instant communication is the best gift that Internet has given to us. Downloading favourite music, exchanging pics over social media, sending n receiving work emails, subscribing to digital newspaper, updating your knowledge via interesting App installations ...there are endless reasons for a common man to be loyal to this magic wand called internet.

Internet has indeed simplified the complexities of life to certain extent, but the hurdle of low bandwidth actually kills the spirit :( Many a times, I have to delay my important assignments just because the internet speed doesn't support. How frustrating !! 

Now that Airtel has launched its 4G services and has claimed to be the fastest ever network till date, I am all the way excited to experience zero buffering time while enjoying surfing at blazing speed. 

Airtel gifts its existing or new customers the benefits of #Airtel4G at a price of 3G pack itself. Not only that you may upgrade your present service pack to 4G, but can also get a 4G SIM home delivered free of cost. And it is as easy as breathing... You just need to tweet away #GetAirtel4G to @airtelindia and sit back waiting for that awesome speed mantra in your hand.

Wow, what a new era of internet has arrived. With access to Airtel4G, I would be performing each of my big or small task cutting short the time and effort invested in it. I will be mainly relieved from the hassle that I face when live streaming of videos is to be watched during some blogging collaborations and I am the last person to respond uselessly waiting for a quicker response from my network connection. I can already claim such miserable situation is gonna be history very soon. :)

Then comes the next issue to be handled very importantly. At my work place, there have been workshops and training sessions quite frequently which requires me downloading suitable software beforehand being the co-ordinator there. And starts the trouble, when it takes whole night to download and propagate those programs to colleagues. I am much hopeful that my upcoming training session would bring about a positive change in my performance as Airtel 4G stands by my side.

Last but not the least, I can't miss mentioning the importance of infotainment in my life. Life is unimaginable without updated info. One needs to be responsive to every possible topic of healthy discussion all the time. I like reading and researching about everything that interests me. I need to have that comforting sound echoing in my heart when I struggle for a stress buster musical sound near me. I am in a practice of engaging myself in financial transactions to save my precious time. I would no longer be dependent on the mercy of useless excuses by ISPs for not proving quality service, coz Airtel 4G has given new wings to my approach to Internet.

Feeling impressed with the promises made! then don't miss watching this Airtel 4G launch video :)

  

Airtel 4G : The Launch of Fastest Network Ever

A slow internet connection can be so frustrating when your device is in best of health and still you are busy trouble shooting n fixing your bandwidth issues most of the time irrespective of a high end network plan :/  In the present scenario, when every industry is relying mostly on online processing, the manifest lack of speedy network hurts a business at its weakest point. Even for the personal web surfing experience, slow internet is a curse when communication goes offline, files take forever to upload or download and an obvious low feeling results in annoyance and disappointment. Many telecom companies have already claimed to resolve the subject, but all seems unproductive on practical grounds.

But today, it appears like a revolution has entered the telecom industry as Airtel officially launched its 4G services in 296 towns nationwide with a promise of uninterrupted high speed broadband experience. This epic launch makes Airtel the first company to bring the fastest new 4G services available to the public. :) Excited for obvious reasons? I am simply looking forward to upgrade my devices to match up the requirements of 4G as soon as possible.

Before me and you decide to switch over our current network plans to Airtel 4G, lets explore why 4G?

Airtel 4G is breaking the myth of being expensive and is offering the 4G services at a price of 3G only. Amazing!!

4G is expected to be five times faster than 3G services and would offer exceptional services such as high-definition mobile TV and video conferencing.

4G is committed to optimize your video steaming experience by compressing the file size without compromising the high quality of video.

The company has rolled out this interesting video that makes evident why Airtel is going to be the next-generation network for your smart devices.

Can't wait to lay your hands on this revolutionary product? Well, no worries! The company has designed an exclusive website www.airtel.in/4G where you can check whether your number is eligible for a 4G upgrade or not.

This website actually takes you through all the offerings of the product. You can compare and find a pocket-friendly prepaid/postpaid plan suited to your requirements. Then also choose to buy a 4G compatible mobile from the best deals. You can locate your city/town in the lists of four circles serviceable by 4G and can even request for a 4G SIM card by clicking on this link if you possess a 4G compatible device. The company promises to get the SIM card delivered at your doorstep in earliest possible time :)

The Airtel 4G service is being offered to the customers using any smart devices including mobile phones, dongles, 4G hotspots and Wi-Fi dongles. Now its the time to boast of fastest journey on the super smooth highway of network with no jerks involved and appreciate Airtel, the pioneer of 4G in India.

Wishes do come true..

It may be hard to believe, but sometime the seed of inspiration is planted in your heart just by coming across a random instance. I happened to watch this cute wishful video clip by Flipkart with its catchy tagline #AbHarWishHogiPoori..

There can be contrasting perspective for what 'Wishes' mean to you. Some wishes turn foggier as the time passes, slowly begin to fade away and ultimately get lost altogether. But whenever a special wish resurfaces, they may bring enormous burst of emotions. And its so natural that when a special childhood wish becomes evident, you are deeply lost into it and you try to snake a path through it to recall the blissful event of your life.

My childhood had been the golden period (whose aura still sparkles my life). The endless reasons to be happy, being adored and most pampered kept me pretty happier every day. I knew deep inside that I deserved my fair share of happiness and I am attaining it. I still remember how my dad was steering the lives of his family members to chart our destiny make us feel reasonably satisfied. 

It was just the another day in the life of small town timid girl when after seeing a TV programme, I was desperate to drop a penny in the wishing well to get my wish granted. The idea of experiencing the real-life magic was absolute childish. But since I actually was a child that time, so there was no point trying make me understand the essence of the virtual story. Anyway's, dad convinced me to drop a coin in the earthen pot kept by my granny to store water in it. I used to cover pot's neck close to my mouth n utter my wish. Dad had become my wishing-well deity and never held me back from asking for silliest things... He fulfilled even those unuttered wishes that could have been ignored by wishing-well when my coins landed tails up. 

As I recall those cherished moments of vitality, fulfillment and enrichment of my life; I feel I need to acknowledge my dad's affection with a wishful gift. For a loving dad who worked too hard all his life and is still continuing to do so, I wish for an Apple iPad to offer him ease at work. 

In the midst of my hunt for this gift for my dad, I got to read a beautifully written dreamy post of one of the most acknowledged Beauty Blogger Jhilmil Saha where she expressed her joy and contentment for fulfilling her dream by owning a Sony Camcorder bought from Flipkart.com. I knew I had hit the hammer on the nail and Flipkart is the one that can fulfill my wish :)      

My dad, a senior Law Practitioner of the town, never compromises in presenting witty arguement in favour of his client. But it all needs hours of homework finding appropriate rulings n findings suited to the case. I wanted to gift him a gadget that is easy to operate and keeps him less-burdened, so that he may spend quality time with us. This time, the wishing-well knew how much I needed the reciprocation of my prayers for a utility gift for my dad, and I found Apple iPad on Flipkart.com at great price. I feel fateful to avail the ultra-cool specifications like wi-fi support and 8 mp camera. Now he need not dig up all his print literature, but can search info sitting right in his chamber and immediately take screenshots of valuable material. 

It could have been an impractical wish to ask for,if Flipkart EMIs didn't allow me to own this Apple iPad. But Now I am more hopeful and can say that Wishes are like daydreams blanketed in the cardboard boxes of your faith. Give them the potential reasons to come out and they will make your life star-studded heavens, and you won't stop asserting #AbHarWishHogiPoori :)

Why is Asus ZenFone 2 Talk of The Town?

Now a days, a common scenario that we notice everywhere we go is to see people swipe their fingers in all directions on their smartphone. The craze of playing with the most essential gadget these days is not only taking over the young generation, but is attracting people of all age groups. The trendy phone handset loaded with numerous features evaluates you in terms of smartness. Thinking about the overwhelming outbreak of smartphone usage in the past months, I can easily relate the hi-tech advancements to the exposure we all want in our lives to stay updated all the time.

The leading smartphone makers frequently come up with more n more innovative features and they gain a commendable market share with their advance product. But don't you think it gets so difficult to pick the best one out of the group.

To help you choose the most gutsy smartphone, I share with you some breathtaking features of the most tech-friendly smartphone with an unconventional design that will make you scratch your heads. I am talking about Asus ZenFone 2 that recently created a buzz in the Indian smartphone market by winning more than 238 awards.

If you have an intention to buy an incredible smartphone to ease your life, let me quickly roll out some fab features of Asus ZenFone 2 for you..

Appealing Structure

My personal liking is always for a regular rectangular design rather than square shapes for the comfort factor. The odd-shaped, boxy phones actually look weird in your less-comfortable grip and make it more difficult to operate. The slim profile of ZenFone 2 effortlessly impressed me ultra thin edges. Simply a premium feel to own luxury!!

Superlative Performer  

When I am smitten by the classy look and feel of ZenFone 2, its the time to appraise its performance. I always needed a highly responsive smartphone that could obey my commands with striking response time as less as fractions of seconds. The hi-tech giant Asus has proved its worth by equipping ZenFone 2 with 64-bit up to 2.3 GHz Super Quad-Core Intel Atom™ Z3580 processor and 4GB Dual Channel DDR3 RAM that don't need me sacrifice my ultimate aim of power-packed performance. 

Consistent Crystal Clear Calling

The most worth while feature of ZenFone 2 is the noise cancellation. Sounds too usual, isn't it? But no, here is something that makes your calls more of satisfactory and enjoyable. ZenFone 2 is capable of identifying and reacting to different soundwaves coming in and then then propagating the actual voice by applying its critical noise cancellation technique. Ofcourse, I loved the clarity of sound that doesn't get drowned in the sea of unwanted sounds around you whilst on a call.

Privacy Promoted

Last but not the least, ZenFone 2 has incorporated the SnapView feature that is surely my personal favourite. SnapView creates a private space on your phone that shields your personal apps, pics and files from public access. With an easy switch in and out of SnapView can give you absolute confidence of working in Private/Public mode.

Asus Zenfone 2 is precisely designed marvel of engineering with its bleeding internals and grinning appearance. Its not a futuristic gadget, but gives power beyond imagination in your hand.

The luxurious feel and unmatched performance of Asus ZenFone 2 at such a reasonable price tag is worth a buy for if you are in search of incredible !!
