Tata Value Home’s #GharAajaIndia : Indian Home Buyer’s Prayer Answered!

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on September 5, 2018 56

Buy Your Own Piece of Heaven with Tata Value Home’s #GharAajaIndia offer!

Buying your own home has become a dream for every Indian these days. It is a symbol of our success and a place of pride. But not all of us have the privilege of owning a home. I left home for Delhi in 2007 and have shifted 6 homes in 7 years. Rent, landlords and EMIs are a reality for all of us and that dream keeps getting further and further away as responsibilities and rates increase but your income never seems to be able to keep pace with that.

The last time we loved a home, they asked for 20% payment in advance and that was more than what we had saved. Not wanting to take a personal loan for down payment, we had to let that go; a story that we are all familiar with.

But they say there is light at the end of the deep, dark tunnel…just as we had given up all hope of being able to afford the house of our dreams, along came the Ghar Aaja India offer from Tata Value Homes. Just reading the offer made me jump from my seat and I will tell you just why it should excite you too.

#GharAajaIndia by Tata Value Homes says we need to pay just 10% to move in!

No you did not misread it! This subvention scheme is the answer to all our prayers. Here are some of the offer highlights which will have you join me in jumping up and down with excitement:

Just pay 10% and move into your new home. You can begin your EMI payments of the remaining 90% after 12 months. They call it ‘EMI Vacation’ – have you ever heard of anything more wonderful?!
Peace is not overrated in this case. You are able to enjoy the new home experience without worrying endlessly about money.
You get time to save and pull in your resources. This helps you avoid personal loan from banks and lowers your debt load.
And since you can move in right after paying 10%, there is no double burden of EMI.

With all the moving around I have done, I know staying in rented properties comes with a Terms & Conditions list longer than the Great Wall of China! A time comes when you get tired of leaving behind good neighbours, or giving up on certain dreams because it isn’t “your house” and someone else’s, where you get tired of living by your landlord’s diktats and wish you could move into your “own house” where you can live life at your own terms.

Tata Value Homes’ Ghar Aaja India is that opportunity you have been waiting for. Don’t wait to fulfil this dream. Go grab it with both hands!

SEO :One truth you must know as a beginner!(#Mythbuster1)

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on September 1, 2018 41

I love blogging. The writing, tech part, almost everything! I enjoy social media too but less. My absolute favorite is Twitter, followed by Pinterest. But one thing I must tell you is, I adore SEO. But what is SEO? What’s to love? Search Engine Optimization is SEO in full form. It’s your way of cutting down on absolute overwhelm, with social sharing.

But what does it do?

Search engines like Google, Bing, Yahoo are like traffic guide for web users.W hen you write something in the search bar of Google, the search engine spiders called bots, quickly scan all the indexed pages to find the most relevant information for you. It happens in nanoseconds.

Then how do you make your posts SEO friendly?

This is an endless topic and has many authorities talking on this. But I have made it easier for you in my book. The lessons are meant for all those who cannot afford the expensive plugins, courses and over-the top-of-the-head craziness which can make blogging less fun.

But you are a hobby blogger, right?

Oh, I get it, you are writing because you love it and want to share your joys with your readers, Nothing competitive! But my dear friend, if your readers don’t find you, how will they fall in love with what you write?

Did you understand the problem now!

The biggest myth about SEO

That it’s difficult!

#Mythbuster 1

SEO is cool, fun, necessary .just like sunshine is important for you, SEO is sunshine for your blog. You will have several artificial light sources, but without the sun, it’s not going t be the same.

The number one reason I keep learning about SEO are :

I want people to find my blog and read it. My medical posts are in-depth topic discussions and is my way of spreading #HealthforAll.Without SEO helping me I reach only a few people through social media.

But you are confused with all the information floating around right? Today in this first post I will tell you three truths you must remember if you are just starting your blog.

You must have a self-hosted blog. Otherwise, all your blog stats have little value.
Get a self-hosted blog if you like reading and writing.
Write for your audience with a human voice and dress up those blog posts with SEO makeup, if you want them to be read organically.
With social media like Facebook decreasing organic reach, if you don’t get your SEO game right , blogging may become more personal than even you bargained for

Top Secret tip in this series:

You, me and the blogger you admire, we all are beginners in our own ways. Don’t let the weird sounding words give you jitters. If you can write and read, SEO will be a cakewalk. Just remember the proof of the cake is in the eating and the proof of SEO is in how your blog performs!

How do you spend Christmas with your children :MondayMommyMoments

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 31, 2018 43

Growing up I studied at a convent school .Christmas was a big deal at school .

Raising money for Christmas events at the orphanage run by our missionary sisters ,were a part of our school activity.

It earned us extra credit .Also our teachers were strict about not letting parents give the money.

Rather they wanted us to learn the secret of asking people for money and getting it with a smile.

That was my first exposure at working for a cause.

When I tell my daughter about Christmas I try to teach her about this part of Christmas .

About Jesus.How he loved people

How he gave up his life still caring about others.

When we think about others and care for each other ,life becomes more beautiful.

But my daughter is 4 .So all this often leaves her looking wide-eyed at me.

She ends my stories with a hug and plenty of kisses .Telling me she loves me and her father and her granny and Mimi (my little sister ) and all her friends.

Caring about people you don’t know is a concept that’s alien to most .So no wonder a child looks confused.

That’s one thing I want to teach my little girl .

When I started my blog I had one major goal.

I wanted people to embrace a healthy lifestyle while enjoying life.

Now healthy life is impossible if we don’t eat healthy.

That’s why I absolutely love baking cookies with a healthy twist .

Baking with Rai is fun.We have a competition Who can lick the bowl faster!

They are great for her school Tiffin and afternoon snacking.

Plus I got this great idea of gifting friends home-made cookies from Divya.

It’s fun and pocket friendly .

Baking at home and Christmas go hand in hand.

Another thing I absolutely love is decorating the Christmas tree with Rai.

I have a potted fern which we decorate with ornaments that we buy and some that we make.

Love making Christmas garlands to deck up the home.

We are waiting for this little tree to grow up. She's small ,but cute and leafy,waiting eagerly for us to deck her up — We are waiting for this little tree to grow up. She’s small ,but cute and leafy,waiting eagerly for us to deck her up

Christmas is also a time to remember about persistence. About perseverance. About doing things because they are right It’s about family and friends. It’s about selflessness.

It’s about giving .It’s about remembering that giving is always difficult .But receiving may be even more of a problem.

When you give be open to receiving, because for both you need to be ready .

Have a fantastic Christmas and keep shining.

Love yourself because you are a fabulous mommy and those little eyes are looking at you.

It’s Never Too Late to Believe in Yourself

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 31, 2018 26

When is it too late? When is it too late, to do what you want?We all have 86,400 seconds in a day.Nothing more or less .What you do with it makes all the difference in the world.

I feel it’s never too late to Learn

Learn from others experience.Learn from reading books.

Learn by doing every day. Discipline and habit are wonderful teachers.

Learn by writing.Writing down your thoughts are like self-spring cleaning. You end up writing that, which wants to come out. Difficult to hide true nature.

Travel

Travel everywhere and anywhere.

For two days or two years. For pleasure or for learning.With friends or family or alone.But travel you must.Travel is important to understand how similar we all are.How difficult life is, how beautiful love is!

To be on twitter

An alive social media where I found all my blogging friends.

It's Never Too Late to Believe in Yourself — It’s Never Too Late to Believe in Yourself

I feel it’s never too late to help. It’s never too late for lending a helping hand. When you help, you start a karmic circle which will come around. You never know when you will need help. When you help, the universe keeps that in mind and you will get help when you need it.

Remember Dumbledore. He said,

Help will be given to those who ask!

That’s what happens in real-life too. It’s never too late to ask for help.

Love

It’s never too late to Love.Love truly makes the world more beautiful. It teaches you to think about another person, more than you think about yourself. When you do that, you will know its love.

Live better. It’s never too late to live a little healthier and live well. It’s never too late to live with love.

It’s never too late to teach. Teach what you learned. Because you may be just one step ahead and that makes all the difference to the one just behind you.

“Live the Life of Your Dreams
When you start living the life of your dreams, there will always be obstacles, doubters, mistakes and setbacks along the way. But with hard work, perseverance and self-belief there is no limit to what you can achieve.”
― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

It’s never too late to make the world greener and cleaner. It’s never too late to plant trees.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second-best time is now.” Chinese Proverb

It’s Never Too Late to Believe in Yourself. Your choices make you who you are and how happy you will be. So choose wisely .‘

My 3 favorite Believe in yourself quotes:

“Believe in yourself. You are braver than you think, more talented than you know, and capable of more than you imagine.”Roy T. Bennett.

“You may be the only person left who believes in you, but it’s enough.[bctt tweet=”It takes just one star to pierce a universe of darkness. Never give up. Richelle E. Goodrich,” username=”misra_amrita”]

Distance yourself from negative people who try to lower your motivation and decrease your ambition. Create space for positive people to come into your life. Surround yourself with positive people who believe in your dreams, encourage your ideas, support your ambitions, and bring out the best in you.” Roy Bennett

The Enchanted Woods: How It made me Believe in magic

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 31, 2018 23

What is your favorite book and what impact did it have on you? My favorite book forever is The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton. It belongs to The Faraway Tree series, all of which are amazing.

The Enchanted Wood
The Magic Faraway Tree
The Folk of the Faraway Tree
Up the Faraway Tree

Author Enid Blyton

The beauty of Enid Blyton’s books can be understood by all her fans. I am sure many of you have read these books. But for all those who haven’t, let me tell you about the Enchanted woods and its Faraway tree.

It is an enchanted forest with magical creatures and the Faraway Tree, the most magical tree in the forest. The tree is full of magical people. It grows different fruits, in different branches. A new magical land comes up on top of this tree, every few weeks. This tree made me a tree hugger!

If you remember stories you read twenty-five years back that story is special. I became a Doctor and I am a logic-driven person most of the time. But I still choose to believe real magic exists. You just have to believe with all your heart, for good things to happen. You must remember the earth is for all living beings and not just humans. That’s what the Enchanted woods taught me.

[bctt tweet=”You must remember the earth is for all living beings and not just humans. Lessons from The Enchanted Wood by Enid Blyton #Healthwealthbridge” username=”misra_amrita”]

How did the Magic Faraway tree impact me? How did it make me who I am today?

When I was a child some serious family matters meant I had two very distinct choices. I could listen to adults talk or daydream while reading my favorite books. The latter was my savior. Discovering this book I realized early that books are always full of magic. It’s like nuggets of wisdom, dreams, life lessons from times past distilled into the pages. Fiction or nonfiction the author’s life leaves an impression on the book and the reader. Enid Blyton left an indelible link.

The lessons I learned from reading and revising the Enchanted woods series

Believe in yourself.
Have faith
There is magic inside you and outside. You just need to keep your intuitions alive.
Be good. It works in amazing ways.
Be thankful and kind. It always comes back.
Life is like the Faraway tree. You find different lessons at different times of life. Learn from all of them. The good bad and ugly will all help you move up in life.
Never stop dreaming.T hey do come true.
The best life is the one you create, with the people you love.
If you wish really hard, they come true.

I still try to hear the leaves of trees and plants I pass by. Are they saying,

making a wish, a wish ,a wish

…just like the trees of the enchanted forest!

The Wisdom of God by A. W. Tozer:Book Review

By Dr.Amrita Basu(MBBS,MS) on August 30, 2018 0

The Wisdom of God by A. W. Tozer is not my typical reading material.But for some time I have tried the scope of my reading to spread beyond my comfort zone.

I was looking forward to an enlightening book about the wisdom of the Gods and the author doesn’t disappoint.

But it’s a book which has a definite readership and not for everyone.

The Pros :

If you are a devoutly religious person you will love this book.The author through his interpretations of various sermons and excerpts from scriptures guides you to a deeper understanding of what God wants and expects you to be.

He reflects on the deeper meanings and puts forward his understanding of how a good Christian should live.We are God’s children and following his path will help us live our life to the fullest.

This lesson is deeply ingrained in the book.

Though the thoughts are old they will still hold true for modern devotees of this faith.

My favorite quote from the book

Oh, heavenly father for too long I lived according to my own wisdom and found no rest or peace.Thy eternal wisdom has bought Thy peace into my life.Amen

The Cons :

Not for the non-religious and not for the casual reader.It’s heavy reading and in some parts repetitive.

My take from the book

The understanding of God’s will guides man’s path to a happy life.The man though intelligent learns only through his mistakes.The more you are aligned to what God wants from you, the less time you will spend searching in the dark for life’s true purpose.

About the Author:

A.W Tozer was a self-taught theologian, pastor and writer.he has written more than 40 books Though the sermons are from the 1960s they are still relevant for the modern believers of this faith.

Disclosure: I received a free copy from Bethany House publishers.The opinions are strictly mine.
