I’m pretty much sure you are hooked on to the Candy crush Saga. If not, it’s still not easy to escape the requests on Facebook. Whether you accept it or not, you got curious about the game and wondered why so many people around you are playing it. Either you downloaded it and deleted it later after endless tries. Or perhaps, you are still addicted to it! One thing is sure, the games you play speaks a lot about your personality and traits. Here are a few qualities that every hard-core candy crush player unknowingly incorporates.

Determination- Even after several attempts of losing, you still keep on trying till you complete the level.  Yes, it does get frustrating at times. We've all been in that situation of losing it to just one last move. However, no matter what, you are extremely determined to win. Keep it up!

Patience- If you don’t have the patience, Candy Crush is definitely not your type of game. Each level gets tougher and really difficult to crack. But, your patience is what keeps you going.  Keeping yourself calm and composed all the time. Also, patiently waiting for lives is not at all easy. You are awesome!

Hope- Each time you play a level, you have this little hope of completing it. Sometimes it’s your luck and sometimes it’s your calculated moves that make you win. But, each time, there is no doubt that we all keep hoping that we complete the game.  Yes, it is hope that is important in real life too!

Never give up- Failure is the stepping stone to success. Just because you didn't win the level on the first try, that doesn't mean you won’t win.  You keep trying and trying till you finally succeed. You’re not the kind of person who will give up so easily. That’s really great!

Logical thinking capability- It is true that Candy crush brushes up on your logical thinking capability. You are given a fixed set of moves and need to complete really hard levels. Candy Crush is not at all everyone's cup of tea. If your managing it well, it means your logical thinking capability is quite high. Keep it up! 

Staying Focused- You definitely know what it takes to stay focused. Crossing all the 400+ levels is what you are focused on. You know your goals and will do anything to achieve it. Wow!

Kudos to all Candy Crush lovers! It's not just a game, its more than that. Only, if we inculcate all these qualities in real life. Can never know, maybe we really do! :D

It is true that almost everyone has an account on social networking sites like Facebook and twitter. Chatting for hours and checking the latest buzz on their walls. Expressing themselves and sharing posts that are of high interest. Looking out for online friends and keeping in touch. What's App and Bmm made it connecting to the world  much easier. You can chat whenever you want. Just type your message and it will reach a person who's on the other end of the earth.  Just in a matter of few seconds your message is conveyed. What seemed just a dream some years back is now a reality. This is just the beginning and there is so much more to come. Crazy world it is.

Lifestyle has changed for sure. But, What about personal lives. It is true that our personal lives are invaded. Every single online history is being tracked. Our every action is being monitored and recorded. Even the Google search on our screens are narrowed down on basis of your previous search records. Every app you download pulls in your location and other details into their database. The scariest part is that we have absolutely no control. The virtual world is definitely taking control over our lives. There are online stalkers everywhere. Your profile, last seen, being online, everything is on display for the world to see.

This global change has got us thinking. Yes, we need to think harder this time and find ways that would sort this issue. Hopefully, a base should be created within the virtual world, that would give us more privacy and security into our personal lives.

Idea cellular, an Indian mobile network brand, continues to connect with its audience by its out-of-the-box advertisements that hit right to the point. The ads are targeted at the Aam Janta which includes 70% of India's population. Right from the beginning the brand has stuck to its slogan " An Idea can change your life". These ads are simple to understand with concepts that make you think again. Who can forget the language barrier ad that touched the hearts of many. Abhishek Bachchan plays  a mute chai-wala who gives a group of people an idea as they are worried about not being able to speak the language of the city they are visiting . They are now able to communicate in a different language by the help of their friends over the phone. The ad ended with the slogan "Bolne ke liye kisi bhasha ki jarurat nahi hoti". Over the years Idea has managed to engage the audience with its ads that have this strong emotional element and the feeling of staying connected.

       Idea's latest "No ullu banaving" campaign gives India a simple message that no one can be made a fool anymore. With the latest technology and beaming internet we can acquire lots of information that would prove beneficial in our daily lives. Deep thinking and some serious research has been done to target the minds of the audience. Keeping the cynical remarks aside, it is sure success for them as we've heard a 3yr old to a 80yr old, all seem to be acknowledging most of these ads.

Warm breeze started to spread around every corner of the lane. A sudden drastic change in the climate from being cold to incredibly hot. She sat inside a matchbox, gazing through the tiny window. She knew there was life outside the four corners of the house. It took her back to the days when she would walk down the same street. She could feel the joy of meeting her close friends, the joy of finally reaching home after work, the joy of being able to walk freely. Those were the times she could do anything she wanted. There was no one to stop her. But now, illness took a toll over her life. She was now trapped within a small room, that was her life. Longing for someone of her own to come and meet her. Eager for someone to bring her favourite dish even though it was forbidden. Hoping that today her kids would surprise her with something special. Everyone was trapped in their own worlds. No one knew or perhaps, they all forgot. Days passed and years too. A lot of things changed. 
               Grateful, yet with eyes of sympathy. Tears began to fall for all the things undone. It was too late. Now she lay beneath a bed of flowers as everyone she knew gather around.

Go back in time. How was it. How were you as a person. The quite one or the most notorious kid that everyone feared. The silent one or someone who just wouldn't stop talking. The innocent one or someone who always could decode what was happening around. Yes, life has changed a lot. Not only for me, but for everyone. Each and everyone realizes the change in their life.  However, at one point of time, we stay the same and continue to be the same for the rest of our lives. Look back 2-3 years and reflect. How much have you really changed?

What is really happening? Have you noticed one thing about elders. Some may try and act matured, but, when with their own friends, they mix about and talk and joke just like we do. Some elders have the same mentality like us, more modern and have kept up with times. At one time, age does not matter at all. Our mental age remains constant. Experiences in life is what really makes a person. You'd be suprised to see a man at age 60 being more open minded than you. Perhaps, a kid at age 5 being more matured than you. It all depends from person to person. Life. Experiences.

Life is pretty much a journey with ups and downs. Its more like a roller coaster ride. Sometimes good things happen and something’s it is the opposite. Each one living the life of their own.  It is completely impossible for 2 people to live the same life. Each on is created unique with their own goals and aspirations. We may meet people with similar characteristics, but, it is impossible to find someone who has experienced life just as you did. One thing to realize is that somehow we are feeling the same. It is just that we experience it at different levels at varied stages of life. Materialistic needs may not be the same, but the emotional drama is experienced with everyone.

Just imagine for a second, What if nothing ever changed. What if relationships remained intact? What if we never aged? What if we did not have any feelings? What if we led the same life, each day for the rest of our lives. What if our lives remained constant right from the day we were born.  Doing the same things daily. No personal growth, no goals, no aspirations. Just the same day everyday. Seems suffocating to me. But, if you wished for that kind of life, think again!

From being as skinny as a stick to putting on a lot of weight. Here is the diary of a girl who had no control over her weight. Baby fat is what she called it before. Chubby cheeks that never seem to go in. Her diet was the same as any girl her age, besides, just a little eating out once in a while. She went to college and brisk walked back and forth. Yet, somehow she kept putting on weight. Here friends could no longer recognize her. Sometimes they ignored her thinking she was someone else. To top it all, one day a stranger or perhaps a strange lady asked her if she was pregnant. It was quite depressing. What was happening? Was it stress that made her like that or was it the lifestyle she led. Perhaps she could indulge in some sports or perhaps she would try eating healthy meals. The more she tried the more she ended up eating more. Was it really necessary to get thin ? Would she feel more energetic if she lost weight? Would it increase her self-confidence? Being fat is not easy. She tried and tried and tried. Her voice was so tiny in front of millions of girls all wanting the same thing.

          Could it be the skinny models on advertisements that made her insecure. Could it be that her college did not promote fitness the way it should have. In today's time, where new fast food joints open each day, would it be easy to resist the temptation. Where food is promoted on television and new recipes that make you even more hungry. Everything around entices her to be so unhealthy. It is a tough battle and the only way out is to find an inspiration. Shed all the extra kilos with strong determination and will power. Its now or never. You can start now.

        This fat girl could be anyone. Your friend, neighbour or family. It could be You.
