#DearZindagi: My Husband is my jug!

Friends are our lifeline. They laugh with us; cry with us; dance with us and do a lot more madness to fill the life with joy. 

I really can’t even imagine my life with friends. I watched the trailer of Shahrukh Khan and Alia Bhat’s upcoming movie ‘Dear Zindagi’ where Alia calls Shahrukh “Jug” of his life. She calls him jug of his life because she can share everything with him.

On watching it, the person who came to my mind was my husband. He is the real “Jug” of my life. I can:

• Love him
• Fight with him
• Share everything with him
• Vent out my anger on him, and
• Enjoy every small moment with himI really can’t imagine a day without him. 

I might fight with him all day long, but this also has its own beauty and charm. He is the person who can listen to my crap throughout the day; can pamper me like a baby and can fulfill my silliest wish.

I have many friends in my life, but not all are aware of the minute details of my lifestyle, behavior, likings, disliking, ambitions and career goals. As a jug of my life he not just listens to me but also supports me in my goals.

Whenever I am stressed, he is the guy I can rely on and can share everything. I have heard people saying that you should not share each and everything with your husband as it can create a problem in your life, but I strongly disagree with this point.

Jug of My Life

He made me feel that life is beautiful. Handling me is like handling a stubborn child who wants everything then and there. He knows how to handle me. Whenever I win or achieve something, I can see more excitement in his eyes than mine. He is the only person I can rely on when I have to share some secret or worries because he understands my state of mind and makes things easier and smooth for me. 

These are just a few reasons that make my husband “jug” of my life; there are millions of other things making him so special in my life. After my mom, he is the only person in my life I admire the most. We have gone through many ups and downs due to other family problems, but he never let me break. He is always there with me as my strength. 

Every one of us has a jug in our life. Share who is your jug through comments!!

How Can a Home with Advanced Amenities Make Your Life Smooth?

Having a home of our own is a prized possession. Owning a home in a city like Bangalore is like a dream come true for most. We save our hard earned money to buy a home that fills our lives with happiness, convenience, and comfort.

Don’t you love your home more than anything else and try to make as good as possible?

Yes, everyone wants their home to be the best. One of the major factors that make a home good is its amenities. In today’s time, in addition to the basic facilities like water, electricity, and parking, contemporary home buyers look for homes that are equipped with other world-class amenities.

Owing to busy lifestyles, people seldom find time to look out for facilities like gym, clubs, swimming pools and so forth. This has made home buyers look for homes that come packaged with all these facilities. In other words, people want homes that are ahead of time. Expecting all these amenities isn’t just a status symbol anymore, but people’s endeavour for a serene and relaxed life.

Here are some of the benefits of living in a home with advanced amenities:

Time-saving: When you buy a home with a club and swimming pools right next to your doorstep, a lot of travelling time is saved. Further, you can utilize these facilities at any time as per your convenience, which is easier said than done by having a membership with other clubs.

Safety: Whether it is a small home or a lavish villa, safety is the major concern of every home buyer. A home constructed using latest technology ensures complete protection from natural as well as physical threats. Living in homes that ensures the protection of your loved ones gives you peace of mind and happiness.

Better health: Increased sound and air pollution has made lives really difficult. One of the features these futuristic homes offer is better health. Various factors such as green landscapes and ample open areas make these homes eco-friendly.

Sobha Limited has come up with its futuristic project Sobha Dream Acres. This project is a perfect blend of impeccable design, comfort and security. Thanks to using precast technology, the buildings are water, fire, and earthquake resistant.

Not just the amenities, it is the construction technology adopted that differentiates Sobha Dream Acres from various other residential projects.

Spread over 81 acres and having around 80% of open space, this premise is a perfect place for a fresh breath every morning. Facilities inside the premises include five clubhouses, swimming pools, health clinic, yoga room, separate sports’ facility for kids and adults, open air theater, ATM, convenience retail store, and so forth.

Location of a residential project plays a vital role. It becomes extremely difficult to manage if your home is located far away from key places like offices, hospitals, schools or colleges.  

Only a few builders like Sobha Limited pay attention to this aspect. Sobha Dream Acres is strategically located in the Golden Quadrilateral of Bangalore. This is a well-connected area with close proximity to medical facilities, educational institutes, IT parks, shopping malls, and so forth.

Book your home today and get ready for a lavish life in an apartment at Sobha Dream Series.

What are the top trends in construction technology?

Building construction is a time-consuming and laborious task. To ease the process and improve the quality of the construction, the companies are now looking for advanced tools and technologies. The construction industry is slowly becoming a ‘machine-dominated’ industry. These technological advancements have brought revolutionary change in the industry.

Every day researchers come up with new technologies to transform the construction industry and make it a safer place to work. Here are top technologies that are trending in Indian real estate market.

Mivan: This is an aluminum framework system, companies use to build a large number of houses in a short span of time. The technology allows the constructors to cast the whole slab, beam and column at one go. It improves the quality of construction by giving it a better finish, uniformity in structural components and speeding up the process.

Building Information Management (BIM): This is one of the best advancements in the construction industry. The technology helps the construction companies provide 2D and 3D models of the project to help the buyers get a better view of the project. The developers can further use the BIM system to freeze on every project detail from the initial stage. Olympeo Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. uses the technology and says that it has helped the company control cost and improve the quality of construction.

Drones: Though it is not a completely new trend for real estate industry, in construction is has recently gained popularity. This helps the companies check work progress effectively. The drone technology also helps the builders examine difficult spots of the building, which are difficult to reach. The trend is expected to grow further with more and more construction companies using drones for comprehensive documentation of project progress.

We are in a market where companies are introducing innovative technologies to beat the competition and win the trust of the buyers. Effective utilization of these tools can help the construction companies reduce cost, improve quality and speed up the construction process. Whether you are a large-scale builder or a new entrant in the industry, the trending technologies open a world of great possibilities in the future. It’s completely up to you how you use these and get benefited for better growth.

Stop Existing Start Living – We Have Got Only One Life

A few days back I saw one of my friends’ Whatsapp status “Stop Existing Start Living” which put me in a deep thought. The status forced me to think that are we really living our life to the fullest or just dragging it as we don’t have any other option.

Today everyone has got so much busy with the social responsibilities that these have taken over our lives completely. Our most of the time either goes in working in the office or in thinking about how to make more money for better life. We get so much busy with these worldly responsibilities and in making a better future that the today gets completely spoilt.

And the worst affected from this “more money” fuss is the middle-class group with limited income. The worries of providing better and secured life to the children, sending them to the best schools and fulfilling their all the wishes take away the charm of life.

I once read that the situation in which we born are not in our control, but the life we live is somehow in our control. It is completely up to an individual whether he wants to drag the life in the same conditions or tries to change the conditions for a better life.

There are so many things we miss in the busy life like:

Quality time with the kids. This is the thing I keep making my husband understand that he is missing our son’s childhood just because of his job. He is not the only one; there are many who work day and night for a few extra bucks but at the compromise of the family life. Just once try to give some time to the children, look at their mischievous activities and I bet you will forget all your worries.

Trips to dream destinations. My mom owns a shop and every time I ask her to go to any place, the only excuse she has is the loss of business due to tough competition. Once I forcefully took her to Shirdi and asked about the relief she got by taking a break from her regular work? She was really happy and relaxed.

Reading favorite books. After a lot of work in the office and then household chores, there is very less time left for personal activities. And when it comes to compromising on something for more productive work, the only thing gets affected are the personal interests like reading books, watching movies, dancing or workout. Why so, isn’t it our responsibility to think about our personal needs and feed our mind with the things it likes.

So what should we do to enjoy the life to the fullest?

• Eat what you love the most
• Find joy in the small things like walking alone, cooking etc.
• Give time to yourself
• Go to your favorite destinations
• Take break from work
• Spend time with people closer to you
• Listen to your favorite music
• Learn the art of saying no as you cannot please everyone
• Stop worrying about things, which are out of your control

Don’t kill the precious life gifted by god by just running after money and materialistic things. Listen to your heart and live life to the fullest for happy memories. Make every moment so special that when you look into your past, every memory brings a smile on your face. Just try to follow these tips and see the changes in your life.
