Pampers Premium Care Product Review

I received the Pampers Premium Care product yesterday after attending the Pampers event in JW Marriot and it was a wonderful experience I must say.

As the demonstration was given during the event, I went back home and thought to first try it on my nephew who is just 3 months old. Earlier, my sister used to insist that he wears cloth diapers only and then she bought him another diapers brand from the market. Yesterday when I told my sister about the Pampers event and the great features of this product, she was amazed and excited to try in on her new born baby.  We opened the product and she took the diaper in her hands to feel it and then she compared the product with the other brand's diaper and noticed that Pampers was softer than the other one.

At 8:00 p.m. before my nephew went to sleep, I made him wear this diaper which was a very easy task and like before he did not feel cranky nor cry while wearing it. He was sweetly resting on the bed while I made him wear it and then I put him down and he fell asleep.

After an hour, he kept turning here and there which made me felt he was uncomfortable. I checked his waist and there was no mark nor any itchiness on his waist which made me take a sigh of relief. I then left his room after putting him to sleep and then got back to my house work.

I came back to check after an hour to check if he has wetted his pants or not and right enough when I checked the indicator, it had turned blue. I and my sister then checked his pants and they were dry and he was still fast asleep which means that he dint even know he wetted his pants and my sister was very happy to know this. She asked me if she should change the diaper and I told her that it was not needed as the diaper can give the baby comfort for 12 hours. My sister then changed the diaper at 6:00 a.m. when the baby woke up and she used the second diaper from the bag.

As it was said during the event, the diapers experience can be best told by the baby itself and here my nephew has already given his review that he loves the product and it gave him his baby sleep completely. Thanks to Pampers for their new innovative product and we'll surely be purchasing it when it's launched in the market.

My day at the Pampers event

I attended the Pampers event on 21st September 2015 and it was a great experience. I got to meet celebrity moms like Mandira Bedi and Tara Sharma and experts like Achita and a representative from Pampers.

Achita spoke about skin health being important and how does a diaper affect the skin of a baby. She explained how the edges of a diaper cause rashes on the skin of a baby and also it keeps irritating the baby when the diaper gets wet.

It was interesting to know that Tara Sharma is a mom blogger and she has been using Pampers for his own two sons. She showed us 2 videos where she showed how easy it is to make a baby wear a diaper and a mother can just do it in seconds. There was also a video where Tara Sharma goes shopping for Pampers while holding her baby in her hand. It was a very cute moment.

Tara Sharma explained how she is strict with regards to her baby's sleeping time and she makes sure that her kids sleep in time as the baby needs to get proper sleep. She also said that she has never kept awake as her kids used to get sleep at night and not be awake due to their diapers especially.

The representative from Papers gave us a description of the diapers of Pampers that are soft and made of a very good material that fits the baby perfectly without causing any rashes on the baby's skin and leaving it soft and dry. She explained us about the features of this new diaper introduced by Pampers like it has a 12 hours dryness guarantee no matter if the baby wets the diapers many times throughout the day, the diapers is made up of a lotion that keeps the product dry, it has a fitting that makes it stretchable and ways to wear, it has an all around softness features that makes it be soft on the skin of the baby and it also has a wetness indicator that makes the yellow line turn blue when the diaper is wet.

There was a small demonstration held by the representative where she took a sample yellow paper and applied lotion on it. She then sprinkled water indicating that it is a baby's wetness and the paper got wet from all other sides except the place where the lotion was applied.


Tara Sharma then also us a sample Pampers diaper where she poured liquid in the diaper and made us watch the wetness indicator that changed its color indicating it is wet. This is a new exciting feature that Pampers has introduced and I really loved the way Pampers has put an effort to make their product new and innovative for mommie and their babies.


All in all, I really enjoyed the event and got a chance to interact with celebrity mommies and representatives of Pampers brand.

#SachchiAdvice that changed my life! #1

It was the time when I had passed out from 12th and was looking out for various opportunities for my career. I wanted to become a Doctor but my marks were less and hence I couldn't get an admission in my preferable college. Hence, I decided to join an Engineering college instead as my percentage was suitable for this stream. Before opting for Engineering, I visited a family doctor who was my mother's best friend. I wanted to seek her advise and guidance before filling the admission form and she being was the right person to approach as she had been an inspiration for me.

The doctor told me that I should not be upset about not getting admission in a Medical college but instead focus and concentrate on my future with regards to being an Engineering student. She told my mom to sit outside while she talks to be about choosing the Engineering stream and she then held my hands and looked at me with a smile on her face.

She asked me "Are you sure about your decision of being an Engineer"

I looked at her and was nervous about her question as I couldn't understand why was she asking me this. I nodded my head and answered "Yes."

She then caressed my face and looked into my eyes asking "I know that you are wondering why am I asking you this. The answer you'll get when you start your course of Engineering. It requires a lot of focus and determination but along with all this, you will need to study a lot."

I smiled and answered "Yes. I'm ready for it doctor. I have managed to cope up with my board exams pretty well and hence Engineering also would be the same for me."

She smiled and said "I know that you must be thinking it's the same feeling as appearing for the tenth and twelfth board exams. However, Engineering is more tough than these board exams you have given so far. You'll not even get the time to prepare as in 10th and 12th, there was a year to prepare for the exams and the subjects too were less while in Engineering, the subjects and the time will be very less. Are you ready to manage this and study hard for it?"

I thought for a while and finally nodded my head as I wanted to join the Engineering stream.


A year later when I thought about my conversation with the Doctor, I realized that her advise was indeed very useful to me. She was making me be mentally prepared for the stream I had chosen and that day I dint get the exact meaning of her words while today I understand that she was making me aware of this even before I got my admission. I always thank her in my mind for making me what I am today.

#MaxFreshMove Theme 2





Here I and my mom are just adding our own steps and dance moves to the song. My mother just loves the song so much that she herself said she wanted to dance and enjoy the music as it is very fast and joyful. Each lyrics of the song has its own melody and meaning that makes the song and the person hearing it feel energized and dance to the tune. The words "Taazgi ka jhatak matak dhamaka" makes us as a family so happy and energized that we cannot stop our feet from tapping and hands from feeling the music and words.


Allu Arjun and Anuska Manchanda have done such a splendid job in this ad that nobody can match up to their energy and enthusiasm. I and my mother tried our best and while shooting the video, we had a lot of fun and enjoyed it as if nobody was watching us. The song is so refreshing and full of life that we salute the lyrics writers and the artists a lot for giving us a chance to dance on the song and submit our video. The task was a lot of fun and I hope that we get more fun songs to perform on in future.

#MaxFreshMove Theme 1





I felt energized to dance to the MaxFresh song as I love loud music and the song sounds perfect for the product Colgate Max Fresh. I danced solo and had a lot of fun with each step which is my own and I would have danced the same way if I was alone as well as dance is my passion and life. I watched the video of Allu Arjun and Anushka Manchanda over 20 times and each time when I watched the song, I myself got up and started dancing to the music as it is very refreshing and lovable.


I could only think of few steps using MaxFresh Toothpaste as a prop and I just wished I was a better dancer to match the steps of Allu Arjun. I wished that I could have danced in the ad and learn few steps from the stars as their energy and excitement makes me fell energized even when I feel low and sad. The music is just one of a kind as like the product, the song brings life to a low life and makes a person just dance to the steps and enjoy each moment as a life. Love MaxFresh and Blogadda for giving us a chance to add our dance moves to this song.

Dominos restaurant -- Review

This is my honest review of Dominos:

I visited Dominos last week and when I entered the restaurant, the exterior of the outlet was quite clean and there was no person standing at the door to welcome me. There was no customer within the outlet at that time.  The area behind the counter was absolutely clean and well maintained. There were 2 fire extinguishers, 2 fly repellents, 2 televisions which were muted, 3 air conditioners which were ON and the temperature was maintained at a comfortable level, in the dining area. The interiors of the outlet were clean and free of dirt. There was a water filter with hot and cold water. The lighting was appropriate for the time. The walls were damaged and cracked while the tables clean were but with scratches. I observed 3 promotional boards and 3 speakers within the outlet. The menu was clearly visible with all the prices mentioned appropriately. The restroom was clean and well maintained. There was no debris in the washroom. However, a person needs to pass the kitchen to enter the restroom which is a bit uncomfortable for customers. On entering the outlet, Hindi instrumental music was playing in the background which was a bit loud but it was eventually switched off as customers entered the shop.


All the staff were in uniform and groomed well. All had badges and their names mentioned clearly on their uniform. The production area was clean and the staff were communicating in an effective way and working as a team. The staff were efficient in cleaning the tables, chairs and floors and had a friendly and polite attitude towards the customers.


When the final order was placed, the order taker took note of my name and contact details, but still the bill mentioned the wrong name. I asked the staff to change the same to which the other staff member replied saying that she will make the correction the next time I visit the outlet. A customer then entered the outlet and had a complaint about the bill printed and the staff member was able to solve her query too. I placed an order for 3 Veg Singles and for a Coke but then went for Potato Smackers instead of a coke. The order taker asked me if I would prefer a dip with it but then I refused to order the same. The final order was placed and then she asked me my name and details. It took me about 4 minutes to place the order. The bill was printed and handed over to me quickly and I was then asked to wait.


After about 20 minutes of placing the order, the staff member served the pizzas and the smackers at my table and confirmed the ordered items. All the condiments of the pizza were served while sauce was not served with the smackers and I had to request for one. The amount of cheese in the pizzas was quite less and there was an extra amount of sauce which is not preferred by me. The overall appearance of the pizzas and the smackers was appetizing and the taste was good. I will visit the outlet again as the food items served had a very good taste and were of the right temperature. The items were priced reasonably.


I would strongly recommend my friends to visit this outlet as the place is quite comfortable and clean. The staff is also very cooperative and polite. It would be better if the restrooms were in a separate area and easily accessible. 

Copper Chimney Review

I and my family dined at the Copper Chimney restaurant last month. Here is my honest review about the restaurant:

On entering the store, the Manager greeted me within 5 seconds by saying “Welcome to Copper Chimney”. Within 30 seconds, the Steward greeted me with a “Hello” and asked me as to how many people are there with me to which I answered that we are three in a group. He guided us to a table near the counter in the first row which had 4 chairs. There were four plates, cutlery (containing the fork, butter knife and a spoon) and cloth napkins placed besides each plate.


The Steward asked us if we would like Ordinary water or Mineral water to which we replied that we will prefer Ordinary water. We then asked for a menu card and he presented us with one in a second. He then served us water within a minute. 

Another Steward approached us and asked if one more person will be joining us to which we replied “No” and so the Steward took away the extra plate and cutlery from the table. Within 2 minutes, the Steward approached us again to take the order. 

While finalizing items to be ordered, we asked the Steward if the flavor of the dish was spicy or sweet and he explained the same with ease. We also asked him about an item which was present in the menu card but was not a gravy dish and he said that it is possible for him to serve the dish as per our requirements. While placing the order, we asked the Steward if the Biryani comes with Raita as it is always accompanied with one but he replied saying that it does not come with Raita and it can be ordered separately. He had a good knowledge of the menu items and on ordering the food items and the beverage, he gave his recommendations as to if we would prefer any dessert to go with it at the end. He repeated the items ordered and added saying that it would take around 15-20 minutes for the dish to be served. He did not mention of any special items for the day.

The food was of an average quality and was served steaming hot and appeared appetizing. The menu card did not give complete information about the dish. The Rice ordered was excellent in taste while the Vegetarian Curry ordered was quite spicy and below our expectations. The quantity of the food served was appropriate and enough for three people. The beverage served was excellent in taste and above our expectations. It was refreshing and of the right temperature.


When we finished our meal, the Steward came and took away the plates along with the cutlery. He then placed three finger bowls on the table. On leaving the restaurant, I was bid farewell by the Stewards, the Manager and the Hostess and they said “Thanks for visiting”.


My overall experience was overwhelming and I was satisfied with the service of the staff within the restaurant. However, the food quality can be improved a bit to match the taste of the guests as the dish we had was quite spicy. There was high tax applied to our bill which was not expected as compared to other restaurants within the Mall. Since there was no washroom within the restaurant, I would recommend one, as it is quite inconvenient for the guests to wash their hands before and after their meals as the washrooms for the floor are located at a long distance from the restaurant.
