Neo Imaginations

The new generation of smart Buyers and Sellers have a common meeting point called Quikr. This forum is a one stop kiosk to Buy and Sell all your needs under a single roof of Symbiosis . If you have less space at home to stuff new things, you need not to excuse the thought. Because the forum also caters for selling off your used but valuable items that million others are aspiring to own. So what next ?   Bech Qikr !!! I am an avid user of this wonderful application and proud to admit that some of my best buys are the outcome of Quikr.com  . Recently I came to know that quiker has added yet another useful tool to enable chat between users to communicate with each other at their convenience and request more details about the product or service, without requiring a single phone call. The tool is sure to bring revolution in the field of dealing and negotiation. 3 Reasons Why I would prefer Chat over a Phone Call          1.  Ease ...

The onset of winters make weather and overhead tank water a natural freezer. This is when India becomes a land of water savers. A season when water is treated either like the auspicious Gangajal or like the dangerous concentrated sulphuric acid.   I have my own experience with a colleague. Those were our bachelor days and we were staying together to share bundles of joy, sorrows and many more on the list. James was his name. A real hardworking guy and gem of a person. James loved winters for many reasons. Through out the year he would curse Delhi but  in winters he would say ' Delhi rocks man !'  As the average temperature touched 20 degree Celsius he would ask me to join for his traditional winter shopping.  A black inner and a jacket was all that he needed to smile in the winters. He never thought of buying two black inners.  "Just one will do" , he would say when I used to insist him for buying another one. This one black inner vest would stick...

With Lok Sabha Polls just around the corner, Major Political Parties are leaving no stone unturned to give people a mouthful laugh before they again take them for a five year ride. First came the Youngress Advertisement with Flyover kaha gaya and Metro Kaha gaya hullabaloo. Then came another trump card about rural housing plan and Employment Scheme Advertisement, where people were singing in symphony for the prosperity of food,shelter and modernization in Youngress Raj. Youngress glorified their past so emphatically that even Kalmadi was taken aback. People were happy for Youngress atleast gave a final respite through these funny videos running randomly between Behenji serials and Cricket matches alike. Considerable amount of rocket science was applied to make these ads win people s heart. But all they won was people s laughter and anger. These Ads again reminded the poor Janta what they have been denied all these years.                 ...

                   It is always relaxing to watch the sunset. Had one such evening at Fateh Sagar Lake in Udaipur . This is one such place where you can spend the whole day with friends and family. There is an adjacent restaurant on the other side of the lake called Curry leaf  where you can have sumptuous food to satisfy your taste buds .

Parking his bike under the shade he walked the remaining steps murmuring in frustration.  It was early morning of  first day of the week at office. So i was wondering  the reason for his early morning frustration. With due concern i asked him, " Ambuja Sir ! you look little disurbed." "These Tyre companies are simply looting us. Yesterday i bought a new tyre for my bike because the previous one did not last long." replied Ambuja Sir. Why?  How much did it last ? I inquired curiously. "Just 10 years old and it lost all the grip." ( Bus dus saal mein hi pura ghis gaya )   replied Ambuja Sir . Unable to control my laughter i left the place instantly and laughed my guts out inside the washroom. One decade of  rigorous use and he expected his tyre to serve him even more. That was Ambuja sir for you. He is the man who never laughed. Being serious and stressed out was his innate art. He perspired more than his daily intake of water...

Movies are an integral part of our lives and society. Movies are all around in our life. Right from festivals to love at first sight, marriages to agonies, we always have a movie or a song to associate with. My first infatuation in school life is book marked with Hum Apke Hain Kaun Songs. Even today when I happen to listen to those melodies I instantly laugh out at those times of stupidity. As a school boy I only admired movies with high star cast and action pack scenes. But as i grew up I started developing fondness for Offbeat Cinema. My first ever encounter with Offbeat Cinema was Masoom (1983) by Shekar Kapur. And to this date I have not seen a movie of that stature. That was my first affair with off beat Cinema and to be honest it was a very serious one. In the past one decade that followed I have made at least 100 more like me. And the good news is that the community of offbeat cinema makers and viewers both are on a spinning high like never before. We have some very tal...

Our children are our dreams. The most treasured possession known to mankind.  We leave no stone unturned to see them fit and healthy. A mere cold of your baby can robe you of your sleeps at night. We have zero tolerance when it comes to their health and development. But this very sentiment is being used by the market to lure us with multiple products. The promotions can be very misleading at times. The Baby care industry is seen as enormous as beauty care industry. So in an era when commercial products promise more than they can actually deliver it becomes imperative for all of us to do an intensive research before we confidently expose our young ones to a particular brand or product. My Experience - 1 Recently an uber-popular baby care brand was exposed to contain some really harmful chemicals in the name of fragrance as ingredient of the product. The news was a nightmare for all those parents who have been religiously using this brand for multiple products like Baby...

Twelve months have passed and it’s the end of those several days, We make our first, yeah our first anniversary day. A walk over those many weeks, I see how we bridged those broken ways. The walk was not smooth but was tough and testing ways. It is our efforts and will to stay together, that brought this day We promise to abide by what we have learnt in those several days. Thank you sweetheart for finally making it happen this way. Without our love and efforts this would never be the day. As I write this post, I can see you and our baby sleeping comfortably with both his arms wide stretched. I know nothing compares to this eternal feeling. We the trio makes it a heaven s den. The giggle of our baby and our own conversations make it a home sweet home. But when I turn back the pages of my old diaries I see what not we did to make it happen this way, our way. It is not about the saga of troubles and hardships that we faced and fought with to buy this lif...

Mahatma Gandhi Born more than three decades after he breath his last on January 30, 1948, I had only known him through school text books or through people s admiration and prejudices. The repetitive  visibility of his iconic picture on every currency note and text-book made me remember his face more than anybody else face in this world. He was omnipresent and omnipotent. With my nascent and tender mind it did not take long for me to like this great man without understanding what he preached and practised. On every Independence Day and Republic Day speech in my school, I religiously added stuffs of his contribution to Indian saga of freedom. His name resonated with the words truth and non-violence. That was my first impression of this man. I was growing then. Having won Best in Academics at class seven during my schooling, I got  " The Story of My Experiments With Truth" (Gandhiji Autobiography) as prize. Seeing its weight and number...

" Never Mind Yaar " as a title, suggests that the book is going to be cool and  casual read to refresh mind. But that just remained a dream far achieved. Later, through half of the book i decided to take the title more seriously going by its literal meaning " Never Mind Yaar". A good book on the shelf to pick particularly if you are in your teens going through your college life. The book is conceived by K .Mathur. (K ?????) Golden Points: 1.  The book is basically a love story and optimally blended with friendship between three young girls from three different backgrounds -- Hindu, Parsi and Christian. 2. A story of youngsters for youngsters. 3. Simple read. 4. Has less characters in the story and also has a  very cosmopolitan approach. Grey Areas : 1. The book is honestly over priced at Rs. 350 keeping in mind the targeted readers have still not started earning. 2. The narration is poor and will surely test your patience. 3. The story has n...
