We are always rushing around from one place to another, in our frenzy to get THERE... we miss out on so many wonderful sights that could change our lives, or touch our lives that area that needed to be spruced.
On my one such frenzied rush, I was at the bus stop out of compulsion, not choice waiting for a long long time
 Besides the bus stop was a little boy and his sister she seemed to be the elder of them they were seated at the base of the tree, and both had little boxes of snacks, or maybe lunch.

They were waiting for the school bus to arrive, and by their conversation it seemed like their bus was late, the little boy was oblivious to all of this but his sister seemed concerned and watching the road
.
Little boy opened his box to snack on it, and his sister gave him a stern warning, only a minute later her tastebuds  succumbed to the wonderful aroma of upma wafting all around, at that moment a skinny puppy too came around and wagging his tail, pleading for that wonderful smelling food he looked upon the kids and from that tiny box both the kids gave out of their own, something to marvel at something touched me ...to know that little kids and out of their goodness gave a little out of it. Wonderful !

Everywhere we go and if just, just look around we might see so many things that we usually miss out, in our rush.
Watch  children at play, they are so innocent, no malice, no inhibitions, they are just there in that moment, teaches us adults to be childlike and enjoy ourselves.. I absolutely love to watch the kids play it kind of makes my head lighter.

Watch the birds how they care about their little ones, how they gather their food and with the food in their beaks, they come to the nest, but mind you not directly, they will take a roundabout route, to ward off any prying predator...just watch.

Lets stop for a while and take a deep breath... there we go... no rush, no push...

Time saved is time enjoyed.

So many of us love to do or copy the neighbours, be it their TV or car or even their washing machines, every individual needs are different and vary from person to person. It is with research and communication that 
we can really enjoy the pleasure of the washing machine that we have purchased, it is vital to know and ask ourselves a few questions, whilst buying :  the topmost question that we have to answer is the budget that we have set apart for this important purchase,. There are different varieties of machines in the market, each one to suit ones needs, the front loaders and the top loaders, the fully automatic and the semi automatic,
the top runners are the front loaders and the top loaders, the top loader is less expensive BUT it uses a lot more water, the front loader is a little more expensive but it uses far less water and totally worth the money spent on it...paisa vasool, teamed with the right brand of soap they make a merry combination as this video shows us. Another point is that if our load is heavy, more washes means a larger machine and this should lead us to buy a slightly larger capacity machine  dont we all know that  time saved is money saved,  so here we go...go ahead and make that all important purchase, think of the environment save water and use a good quality soap, Watch this video


 Its always, "Come on kids, dont sit down on the mud," or "watch out for that icecream cone," But why do we have to stress out so much, and in the bargain spoil the simple pleasures that a child enjoys ! Why ?
there are so many solutions that surely would allow the kid to have "His cake and eat it too" 
Its the little things that matter to the kids, a roll in the grass, a splash in the muddiest pond and the joy it brings upon their faces is a thing to marvel. Let them kids have all the fun and the washing machines that care of the stains, only it requires us to know the type of stains, the video shows us how simple and uncomplicated we can make our lives.
We really need to know the right settings for the stains and the type of fabric that needs to be worked on, just do that ....sit back and enjoy the exxxxtra time with the kids.

 
 So here we are, the third important part of this video, To get a great wash out of your washing machine, we all know the importance of segregating the clothes heap, with the kids around it is always huge piles of clothes that we see for miles around the house, keep them into three piles: one of mixed clothes, one whites and the last of delicate fabrics,
The mixed pile will compromise of everyday clothes, and it needs to be set on the normal cycle.
The delicate pile will compromise of our cardigans, sweaters, light dupattas, our silk kurtas and our silk
 cholis, the machine will adjust to the speed for these fabrics which will be slow and gentle
The white pile of clothes will go on a 60 degrees temperature(If your washing machine has this setting of temperature ) which will always keep the whites crisp and shinning white. Whites should always look white not grey or cream when we wear them.
Trust your machine and just go ahead and enjoy your time you have saved ...watch the videos and enlighten yourself on the various options that can make our life simple and uncomplicated......Anyone for a cup of coffee ?
