Now, Quikr has launched an new feature on the website, Quikr Nxt!!! No Fikar!Chat Quikr!!!

This feature of Quikr Nxt, has taken the online transactions to be more safe, hassle free, and enjoyable without the fear of disclosing personal numbers to unknown people.

This feature is a big relief for working professionals who can reply at their convenience. Sometimes, we get unexpected calls during a meeting which would put you in embarrassment. How will the caller know you were in a meeting, this would obviously put your mind at disturbance. The chat feature will be easy like using your whatsapp where us phone call we need to be sure of the time and place. 

For me, I usually search, compare and do all these works at my leisure after finishing my office works which is late night. That will never be the right time to call an unknown person, even if she/ he is your best friend, so this chatting gives you an ease to connect with them with any hour of the day and gives the comfort to reply in their leisure. 

Also, we can check back to our chats without having to remember any of the conversations we exchanged. So, even the negotiations are made easy and accurate. 

Of all the above, chats are free and not like phone calls!!! 

3 Reasons why I would always prefer a chat over a phone call is

1. Being a girl, I feel its not safe to keep my number in an website which anyone could see, the privacy option allows you to freely chat and stress free of keeping the number not disclosed. 
2. Sometimes, the ad may be misunderstood and people tend to realise after a few interaction which can be easily discussed over a chat. So, only the important and serious buyer can be identified without having to talk with every person who inquires. 
3. Pictures are better conveyed, so over a chat and with the feature of Quikr Nxt we can send any number of pictures of the product we are selling. The pictures will answer the most of questions of the buyer and will make the transaction more clear and transparent. Unnecessary disappointment after seeing the final product will be reduced. 

The most important feature of  the all is to keep the numbers safe!!! What is yours!!!

I am sure this feature of Quikr will transform the online classifieds to another level of safe and enjoyable transaction!!!

Oh My God!!! Pimples Again!!!

Being in your teens is the most blessed part of our life time I would always say. I loved my teens very much like any other. Sparkling around with loads of fun, joy and admiration. I loved the smart, talented, young and energetic me. Wherever I went, I attracted people, love and fame. I was very proud being the college chairperson, presidents of various clubs, doing an documentary of an legendary person and so on!!! Work, luck and smartness brought success in everything. But most of all, I was known for my BIG SMILE!!! My smile is the best part which brought sparks to my entire face!!!

I can never forget the day when I badly wanted to make the best appearance in every aspect and how this big pimple worried me. 

Each year, our college gets an opportunity to be featured in an TV programme for interacting with TOP CEO's from our region. I was chosen among the college to represent the students with our professor. I was so elated and top of the world, as to my surprise the person I was to meet and interact had been my dream and inspiration. I felt the stars were too lucky for me now!!

Sleepless nights, endless reading and finally prepared my draft for the big day. Ran around the departments to meet the heads for my approval and luckily everything came together. Now, comes the girl's biggest worry on what to dress for the occasion, but I would tell that I was lucky as the college had a code to follow and I was supposed to be formal and dressed in college blazer suit.

I took the permission of my parents to get pampered myself form an beauty parlour. Had an soothing and relaxing facial. I never wanted to do an facial as I am easily prone to pimples, but my friends were forcing to do as I had to have the extra glow for the big day.

Just a couple of days to go, as I wake up and walk towards the mirror, "OH MY GOD!!!" A big pimple in my left cheek. My parents came running on my shout and I almost dropped to the urge of tears seeing this. As my appearance is a big thing at this point of time. My mind was fighting with why I did facial to which I am allergic too. 

My mom applied turmeric on my big pimple and told it would go away. I could hardly see a difference. My cousin visited as from Delhi for an function and she suggested me to try Garnier Pure Active Neem. She gave me her tube and first application I felt so relieving and relaxing. My dad brought me a new one in the evening. I washed my face mildly with it in the evening again and before going to bed. 

It was a happy morning the next day, as I found my pimple to be shrunk, small and painless. I was shouting in joy and ran to my cousin hugged her tight and told "You are the best cousin in the world".

I washed my face religiously with Garnier Pure Active Neem and was confident that my face would be clear, bright and cheerful tomorrow. And yes, Garnier Pure Active Neem never disappointed me and the show went extremely well due to my confidence of a good skin and preparation. CEO also appreciated me on the questions I put forward and my knowledge. 

My friends were so surprised on the clear and confident skin I was carrying. Thanks to Garnier Pure Active Neem!!!! From then on, Garnier Pure Active Neem has been my life saver!!!

If you want to join me and be pimple free, do check Garnier No Pimples No Marks for yourself and I am sure you will thank me and Garnier forever!!!

Go Sleek

I and my husband are a gadget freak. We keep checking for new release and updates. We feel living updated with the trend makes our life easy. 

The past few months, I had lots of data to process, drafts and editing which couldn't be handled my laptop and it went down. I almost lost my important data's. My husband tried hard to retrieve the data's at least. But the system was completely down and it was a big disappointment. A blogger connects the world through internet and these gadgets are the medium. I completely felt cut off. 

My husband cheered and motivated me that I could do the required tasks in time with his laptop. Then we started researching what to buy. We already own Asus products and have been very satisfied with its performance. So, we both agreed to shortlist few choices and then decide based on our needs. 

The Sleek and Powerful ASUS EeeBook X205TA or the Ultra-Portable and Perpetually connected ASUS All In One PC ET2040? We felt both was required to meet our requirements. Let me explain the important features which made me settle with both. 

First, ASUS EeeBook X205TA, the important features are

Flipkart

• Bloggers always multitask, reading, writing and this Asus device is powered by a 1.33 GHz Intel Atom quad-core processor with Intel Burst Technology up to 1.83 GHz to handle your multitasking easily. 
• 2 GB DDR3 system memory gives you an efficient performance.
• Integrated with Windows 8.1 gives you high compatibility with any software's and hardware's. 
• It gives you 12 hour of battery life which any blogger would love to have. 
• The notebook is unbelievably light and compact, sleek design and a premium feel. It makes it easy to carry anywhere and mainly on travel when I do more blogging usually. 
• Added advantage when we buy this free Asus web storage and Microsoft office 365. 
• Another attractive feature is the price the Eeebook comes with all this amazing high end features. 

Second, ASUS All In One PC ET2040,  the important features are

• Smart power backup for up-to 1 hour keeps your important documents safe. 
• Innovative Gesture Control allows you to operate from a distance without touching is good for cooking people to easily shuffle through songs or videos. 

  

  Amazon

• It has Asus SonicMaster Technology, with in built speakers which is highly efficient providing an powerful and balanced audio experience. 
• Its easier when editing photos or preparing presentations, as it provides high connectivity with external devices required in a fast and efficient manner. 
• Big, bright and clear screen makes your work easy and enjoyable. 
• Stylish looking, light weighted and easy adjustable angle to suit the eye level. 
• Experience the built in apps with comfort and ease. 

I preferred to buy ASUS All In One PC ET2040 as I do a lot of editing, documenting, multitasking, researching which makes my work easier and efficient. Also the performance and the standard of ASUS overall. 
Reason: Efficient and High Performance. 

My husband choose ASUS EeeBook X205TA, as he requires to carry around where ever he goes and will require only minimal usage . It gives you wide features with easy usability and access. 

Reason: Slim,sleek to carry with high end performance. 

Overall, both are highly recommended, its up-to the user to decide which to bag on based on their requirements.

The Perfect Proposal

I am all excited to plan for the big day, I am going to propose my best buddy and senior at collage. He is the best man I have ever come across in my life. I must thank my brother for introducing his friend to me. At-least now, I should not worry about my big brother who is doing his masters in UK. 

I, Sharmi and Venkat have been best buddies since the day we met. We shared a lot in common and had emotional ties too. I don't know why I loved him, but the taught of being with him makes me super excited. We have crossed so much within a short span of 5 years.

My family never minds when I hang out with him as Venkat is considered the goodie goodie boy in our locality. 

Over years, our feelings for each other grew silently. We both knew the strong feelings for each other, yet we called ourselves as Friends. 

I wanted him to feel the top of heaven and decided a plan to propose to him. Luckily the stars planned the rest for me. Venkat went on a road trip to his friends wedding. I decided that its the best time to discuss with both our families. 

First, I opened the proposal to my family who were shocked, I convinced my mommy which made things very easier. They later learnt that Venkat knew nothing about this. But my love instinct told he was very madly in love with me. so I took the bold move to talk with his family. 

My father came with me when I went to talk with his family, they were cool parents and was very happy for us. They always loved me as a daughter and this has been a sweet surprise to them. His sister was so happy for us. 

We then decided how to surprise Venkat and play the Cupid Games.

We found an attractive girl in our college and decided to play a prank on Venkat. We told our plans to her and she readily agreed to do this for me.  

On Valentine day, the girl came to Venkat's home and rang the bell. She came with local surprise planners group who were singing love songs with band music. I asked her to dress in Blue, as its Venkat's favorite colour. She proposed to Venkat and he was like 'Hey , Do I know you???' 

Venkat family, our friends and I was with my family in his home, so we all came out to the music. Yep, its going good so far with the plan...

She then started saying the love dialogues I wrote for him, he got very angry and shouted that its not the way of asking someone in front of family and blah blah...

She then started laughing which made Venkat even more angry, she told that she has taken his family's permission first before proposing him and that his family has agreed on their marriage. 

Venkat turned back in shock, his dad told him that the girl had come along with her family and taken their permission. And that they liked the girl. 

When venkat looked at me, I was like weeping and very upset on what has happened. He felt very bad and embarrassed in front of such an situation. The girl really did her part every well and for an instant I got worried if she really loves Venkat. 

Venkat very decently tried to turn down her proposal. She started crying and now comes my part. I start advising Venkat that the girl is smart and nice, and that he should consider her proposal. We have some rough talks. He gets very angry at me as he knows how much I love him. He shouts at me, then why don't you consider my proposal to you, will you marry me?

I shout, "Oh yes, I love to...lets get married this weekend and give him a ring. Dear, please..." Everyone around bursts into laughs, and our families come together. Venkat is a clever boy, understood the whole drama. We exchanged rings and was fun around. We arranged an small party in his home, so we all had good time. We all celebrated our love!!!

Anyday I have an perfect proposal story to tell!!!

Moving to Bangalore? It's just Quikr in Bangalore! No fikar, bech Quikr!!

Bangalore is a busy city and I am so excited moving to Bangalore from a small city. I am super excited and thrilled to be in a new place, get to know new people, eat, party and enjoy. 

I completed my engineering with flying colors and bagged an offer letter from an top IT company in Bangalore with an extra ordinary salary package. What else could a village girl ask for??? My senior suggested me to try Quikr website for searching a place to stay. She strongly recommended that I try Quikr site before trying anything else. 

Opening http://bangalore.quikr.com/.

The home page was neat and organised, easy to navigate and search. 

Source: Quikr

I registered my details in the site and was ready to begin the search. I wanted to find a flatmate, did not prefer to stay in the hostel. One of the reason coming to Bangalore is to have fun, enjoy its culture, meet new people and to stay connected which a hostel life would never offer. Being in flat gives you the freedom of staying in your own home, no strict rules and regulations that I have to follow. My college friends would also be visiting me, so I could accommodate them when living in a flat.

Quikr provided with lots of option to shortlist from, I narrowed down my search to area where my office bus comes and is close to city. 

Source: Quikr

The ad had the contact details of the person who has posted, so I immediately called them and asked other details required. But most of the details were available in the page itself. 

It also has details whether the number given in the ad is legit or not. You have status of the number shown if verified or not. I selected to call only the verfied numbers to be safe. 

Source: Quikr

The main advantage of using Quikr to find my flat was

1. The site is free to use and easy to use.
2. The properties listed are verified and provides all the major details required. 
3. I get to see the listing photos and nearest landmark with location easily. Which gives you the comfort of staying at home than spending time and money to visit the place. 
4. It saves me from paying broker commission which is high. 
5. I get to talk with the owner and fix my deal appropriately. 
6. I get a wide variety of options which I don't get directly through broker or other sites, 
7. The refine your results column, provide an easy way to filter our search making our work hassle free.
8. We can also find the latest postings by date. 
9. Mobile application is easy to use for smart phone users like me. 
10. We can also hide our number while contacting others.

Quikr does provide all other services required for everyone. It has various categories and different sessions under them. Few of the main categories which is very useful when found online these days,
