#GoodinGoodbyes this Ganeshotsav

Hi guys,

The festive season where Ganesha has arrived everywhere in the state of Maharashtra, the joy is worth watching. But, we cannot deny the pollution that has been caused due to the viserjan which is an issue that needs to be addressed too.
I am glad to come across the eco-pond initiative by Vodafode which believes in #GoodinGoodbyes . Eco ponds are a joint initiative of Vodafone & NCL wherein, NCL will provide Vodafone with a  solution of ammonium carbonate that dissolves the idol made of PoP and leaves the sludge, which can be later filtered and re-cycled to make chalks, etc. hence making a sustainable future.
 The Vodafone team has done a study of the amount of solution to weight ratio required to dissolve the idol. Vodafone has installed ponds where people can do viserjan of their Ganesha idol and when the pond will be filled, it will be replaced by the new one while the old pond’s contents are sent for recycling.
I am really excited for taking part in this and doing viserjan of Bappa in an eco pond. This is an initiative worth applauding and supporting.
 Under this initiative, 8 Vodafone stores are dedicated to carry out the activity. Vodafone stores located at JM Road, Hirabaug, Wakdewadi, Aundh, Karve Road, NIBM Road, Kalyaninagar and Kharadi are equipped with Vodafone Eco-Ponds (See Annexure). Further to this, devotees can also dial 7391000000 to locate all the Vodafone Eco-Ponds. 
Here’s a video of this initiative - 


Also, Vodafone has set an Aarti stand as people perform puja before immersing the idol in the water. The  Aarti stand will weigh the idol and then calculate how much solution is needed to dissolve the idols in the pond.

#CleanUpCashOut with cashify

Hey guys! I am going to share with you all how I managed to #CleanUpCashOut my old phones. You can do it too! I've found a great and convenient way to sell away old gadgets.  Firstly, I am someone who likes to change my phone to the latest one and be updated with best features and technology and hence I end up buying phone almost every year or so, which obviously means I have a lot of old phones which are in good condition and can obviously fetch a great price. Few of them I had already gifted to my sister, and a friend. It was 2 months ago when my sister's birthday was approaching that I was short of some cash to gift her an Apple phone. I decided to gift and iPhone 7s and since I had already promised her, I didn't want to ruin it for her and miss the joy on her face. Just, when I was thinking how to get the cash and also contemplating of availing for EMI, I got my eyes on these two phones kept in the drawer. Voila, problem solved. Immediately I made uo my mind to s...

#CuttingPaani

Hi guys! This blogpost is about a social initiative by Livpure about #CuttingPaani. The very existence of human life on Earth has been possible due to the presence of water on this planet. Now, imagine if the water disappears? Will life be possible? The answer is a big "No". I hope this thought brings you to know how important water is for our survival. So, if we misuse this precious resource, do you think we can survive for long? Doubt it.  I feel happy to see Livpure come up with this initiative to save water by bringing awareness on the wastage of water. You go anywhere, and you are offered water, you drink a little and leave the remaining which is obviously thrown away. Livpure has come up with the idea of #CuttingPaani where you can instead ask for only half a glass of water when you are less thirsty, so that water is not wasted. I say yes to #CuttingPaani. Do you?  As we all know, barely 1% of the Earth's water is fresh and drinkable. The current situ...

Hey everyone!  Today I'm talking about  #DefinitelyPTE by Pearson. We all, at some point of our career, must have felt the need or wish to go abroad for further studies. Studying abroad definitely gives your career an edge over the others. Now, studying abroad isn't as easy as just traveling where you get a VISA & tickets and you're done.  You need to get a student VISA, qualify English test, qualify for your desired university, raising funds and what not.  Of the many challenges posed for studying abroad, the first one is the English Language Test -  https://in.pearson.com/assessments-and-certifications/pte-academic.html   Other common problems for staying abroad may include -  1. Language barrier - In case you are going to a country where English is not commonly known to all people, you may find difficulty in communicating with the local people. 2.
