Check list while going for an interview

Many times while we re ready for n interview we make some mistake or forget something necessary which make us loose our confidence. Here is the checklist that enables face your interview with confidence.

Resume

Always carry a copy of your updated resume. It completes your look. A copy of resume make you look more professional.

Formal Dressing

Always dress up to your best. For females, use light make up. going like a plane Jane is not preferable in now a days MNC culture. But remember whatever you are wearing, should not contradict with formal dress code. Though I asked you to dress comfortably and be at your best.

Coordination with Consultant

If your interview has been scheduled through an consultant so its better to be in good terms with him/her. do inform your consultant about time to reach, message once there you are in company and also inform your consultant, once you are through with interview. Request him to take the feedback.

Punctuality

Try to be punctual. and in case if there is any emergency , do inform your consultant or the interviewer about your position.

Be Informed

Before going for an interview check about the location, the mode of transportation and how much time it will take you to be there.

Trek To Tungnath

Something about Tungnath (Courtesy Wikipedia)

Tungnath is the highest Shiva temple in the world and is one of the five and the highest Panch Kedar temples located in the mountain range of Tunganath in Rudraprayag district, in the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The Tunganath (literal meaning: Lord of the peaks) mountains form theMandakini and Alaknanda river valleys. Located at an altitude of 3,680 m (12,073 ft), and just below the peak of Chandrashila, Tungnath temple is the highest Hindu shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. The temple is believed to be 1000 years old and is the second in the pecking order of the Panch Kedars. It has a rich legend linked to the Pandavas, heroes of theMahabharata epic.

Tungnath is identified as the place where the bahu (hands) of Lord shiva were seen.

Day 1
We started our trip on Wednesday (11th june, 2014) early morning around 7:00 Am. Thanks to good weather , with few stops, we were able to cover more of our distance till 6 in the noon and took a night stay at Devprayag. We took a hotel there and relaxed after having dinner. We went to bed early as tomorrow we have to cover along journey ahead.

Hotel: Vijay Laxmi

Room rent: Rs.600 
Dinner: After confirming with local people, we had our dinner at Roxy Hotel. They serve Thali with unlimited food at just Rs 75.

Day 2
Next day was a real hot day. we started our journey after having breakfast and some fruits. We couldn't think of stepping out from AC till OKHIMATH where we got some relief from hot and chilling sun. Roads were plain, newly built but than also it took us 6 hours to cover a distance of 70 KM as roads were less wide and there were very steep turns. Finally we reached CHOPTA at 5:15PM where we had our Maggi, tea and milk for tomato. We changed our clothes ( as temperate was quite low over there) and packed our bag packs for trekking.

You can also opt for horses which will charge from Rs.200-300/ per person. But will advise you to walk as the 3.35KM is full of springs, natural scenary, beauty and huts for the refreshments.

Must haves in bagpack : Torch, extra batteries, umbrellas, shawl, extra pair of socks, medicines for loose motion, aches, fever and allergies(if any), 

                                                 All set for our Day 2 trip from Devprayag

                                            Tomato also enjoying the trip and natural beauty

                                                            Natural Spring near Chopta

My weight loss story- daily exercise routine

My most problematic areas were bums and thighs. though also got a little fluffiness around my stomach but my concentration was my lower body. So I have followed an exercise routine which  basically focused on my problematic areas.
I divided my exercise routine in two parts. let me make it simplified with the help of an chart

           
My exercise routine:

Time I devote daily for exercise : 30 mins

How I divided exercise routine:  Mon, wed, fri (concentrate on my thighs and stomach )

                                               Tues, thurs, saturday (concentrate on my bums and stomach).

Anything Before and after exercise : I used drink one glass hot water after my exercise and prefer taking bath with luke warm water.


Now a detailed description about my daily exercise which consist of

out of 30 mins I keep 15 mins for warm up , 
10 mins for core problematic areas exercise and
 5 mins for stretching.

1. Warm up exercise: For my warm up exercise I opted for skipping and tapping. I started with 50 skipping and carried till 250. Daily I tried to add 25 to my last day number. Supposively if on Monday I did 50 , than on Tuesday I tried to make it for 75.

Also I used to tap for one minute initially and increased it up to 3 minutes. Hmmm.. Tapping means trying to raise your knees upto to your chest. like you would have seen in recent "Bournvita" advertisement..(isse jeet ki aadat tablagegi jab mai ise jeetne dugi) Remeber how that small kid use to tap his feet..yeah the same way

Also i tried not to take longer intervals between my different exercise.

2. Main /Core Exercise:
will update in my next posts

3. Stretching: This is the best part of my exercise. Mainly I do stretching of my thighs, hands and neck.

Variety of Mushrooms at Kalatop, Dalhousie

During autumn you will find a number of variety of mushrooms at Kalatop. They are of different categories varies in color, size and even designs. You can find red, yellow or even pink mushrooms. Localites have asked us not to touch anyone of them until or unless we are sure that they are no poisonous. Here are pics of few of them.

This is the only one which can be eat. Moreover before cooking it they used to boil it twice or thrice. Also everyone cant digest it easily so they are bit reluctant to serve it to us.

                                                                 Butterfly shaped

                                                              Yellow flat mushroom

Baby Carrier belt- prons n cons

If you ever have been to any hill station or village you would have noticed women carrying their children on their back. Carrying a baby  in hands for longer period of time is tedious . In newspaper I have seen many stars using this belt to hold their children.  Also Aishwarya's baby first look got revealed while she was carrying her in a belt.

 

Even Lara Dutta is using similar kind of belt.

The Pros of Baby carrier belt are as follows:

• Easy to carry as it is made of cloth only.
• Baby can be carried anywhere .There is nothing like moving the wheels or looking for some plains to walk as there in Prams.
• Good carrier for baby if you are going on some hill stations.
• Great exercise to loose weight as well :P
• Baby feel more secure as you are holding them
• Not very expensive & not very famous among Indians. alot of people will notice you, if you are using it.

The Disadvantages of Baby carrier belts are as follows:

• You cant hold baby for longer duration. Usually baby get irritated.
• If you have any problem related to backache than completely forget about this.
• At times baby wont feel comfortable with it so as are you.
• Baby weight and height matters a lot if you are using it.
• Its not appropriate for grown babies.
• cant use it util and unless baby is not able to hold his head.
