Raksha Bandhan




A day for care
A day of celebration
A day for promises to protect loved ones.
I promise my brother my unconditional love,
My blessings and wishes to protect him ever,
My encouraging words to never let him fall,
My sincere prayers to guide him right,
My warm hug to pamper his soul.

Dear Brother,
With some words of wisdom I tie this band,
Faith, honesty and trust are the pearls which will shine your life with glitters of happiness.
You will scale new heights with hard work and perseverance.
Live life with values,
Upkeep these virtues,
You are a darling brother and my friend forever…….

The Fastest and The Best


 


Time has been ever changing. When I was a kid my happy time was watching movies on VCP or VCR, listening songs on tape recorder, walkman, having a wide collection of audio cassettes, waiting for weekends to watch movie on television and list is actually long enough. Gone are these time now. Things have changed. Life is busier, stressful and so needs and demands are changing fast and we want speed in every task we do as we are always short of time. 

And as per the old saying i.e. “Necessity is the mother of all invention”, we have the superb service of Airtel 4G to add much needed momentum to our internet usage. Airtel 4G is the first telecom operator to roll out 4G services, and the best thing is it’s the fastest network ever.  Gone are the days when downloading would take hours, it’s the matter of a few seconds now. Life is easier and simpler with Airtel 4G
.
Technology is a boon for all of us but it depends on us how we make use of it. It has constructive as well as destructive effects. The other day I noticed my cousin’s daughter of 6 years watching unnecessary videos online, she has been spending most of her time watching cartoons, photographs, surfing net from her mother’s mobile. She is becoming ill behaved, irritable as well as week physically. She has developed dark circles around her eyes. And to my amusement I heard her parents appreciating that their daughter has learned using internet at such a young age, they were happy that she could effortlessly browse internet and open up her game and play it for hours. I counseled my cousin that such behavior is not acceptable, this young age is to play outdoor, play with dolls and not mobiles. We need to draw a line between what is necessary and what is not. This wonderful benefit of faster internet should be put to constructive usage. It should not be made to provide any kind of negative influence.

Though I am not much of a tech savvy person but using faster internet connection is a wonderful experience. Airtel always comes up with the best and beneficial services and so this time it’s the Airtel  4G, it is available at the 3G prices along with it free home delivery of 4G SIM.
In today’s time where most of our operations, works are done online like paying up bills of dish TV, mobile bills etc., lots of study material, knowledge bank, online magazines, journals, e-commerce sites, online banking, transactions and what not, it all requires a steady and fast net connection. It becomes frustrating when opening up of your favorite site takes up a lot of your time. But with Airtel 4G doing your task is a lot more easy.
