We belong to the land where Kamasutra was written in ancient India and it got acclaimed worldwide, yet, the topic sex and contraceptive is discussed under hushed tone. Indian people are uncomfortable to educate people about sex which leaves youngsters vulnerable. They are often stranded in awkward situations in lack of sufficient knowledge and fall prey to unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases. The condom is one of the best methods for family planning and proper spacing between children, termination of unwanted pregnancies and prevention of sexually transmitted diseases.
Contraceptive devices are available in chemist and department stores but people don’t feel comfortable to buy for themselves. Sex education is still under wraps in our society. To avoid embarrassment, people have to walk miles away from their residence and working place to buy a condom and other contraceptive tools because they don’t want to get recognized.
Kick
off of Condom Bazaar
A young guy gave birth to the concept of online portal Condom Bazaar in 2011 after his weird experience to get condoms for himself. He had faced embarrassment after marriage and he was well acquainted with the situation that an individual confronts while buying condoms and other contraceptive tools. The people scorn and pass a wicked smile at the buyers and the customers are labeled as immoral or doubtful characters. Surveys on the subject revealed that most people back out from purchasing just because of being identified as buyers and embarrassment, a negligible population is bold enough to deal.
Many people tried other online websites to procure
condoms but it was not easy for them as many times, they got damaged or expired
products and due to embarrassment, they never returned the article. Further,
they got into an awkward position to receive parcels because the parcel
container had condoms mentioned on the packet, hence, maximum avoided to use
condoms for their personal use.
Safeguard
Privacy of Buyer
To safeguard human health and to habituate the Indian population, Condom Bazaar, came into existence.

Condom Bazaar is a boon for the sexually active men
and women which protects the 100% privacy of the individuals. The unique USP of
the Condom Bazaar is that it protects the identity of the buyer. The buyer
receives the parcel packed discreetly and there is no mention of the details of
contents on the packaging, hence not an issue of being embarrassed. The bank
transactions do not reflect the transaction details of condoms. This practice
of discretion has encouraged individuals to buy products without getting
embarrassed. In spite of being highly educated, still, Indian people cannot
digest words like sex and condoms in an open forum. Sex education has started
but it is in the infancy stage and will take long years to be a healthy
discussion of a living room.
Condoms of all brands and all types are readily available at the online shopping portal, Condom Bazaar. This online portal is a boon for fertile men and women who can purchase the required essentials without any hassle and will habituate individuals to buy and use condoms, contraceptives, gel, and sexual wellness accessories.

Every Saturday, we (Paresh & Ila) host #tweetfables and gather on Twitter for spontaneous story weaving along with twitter fellows interested to weave stories. The opening lines are given by the hosts.
The February month is the month of love and V-Day
is approaching near.
Here is the #tweetfables 4.0 edition woven by Paresh, Ila, and Ammy.
“Why people create so much hype around Valentine’s day? Don’t they love their partner or girlfriend every day?” Rahul asked Anjali on 14th Feb.
There was utter silence in the hall hearing Rahul
where people had gathered with their loved one to celebrate the V-Day in a
novel way…as their heart desired.
Hosts created a perfect ambiance for couples. They slowly opened the roof of the hall. Now the couples were in each other’s arms under the open sky. The recliners and comforters added to the occasion and almost made most romantic than ever.
Love was in the air, with age having no effect.
Everywhere only two souls in love were visible.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became peppy and
bustling;
“What is wrong, Anjali?” Asked Rahul.
“Nothing wrong, but your words made me ponder, is only a day in a year sufficient to shower love. Love is the quotient that requires to be showered every moment to bring happiness and cheers in life. Youngsters brim with love but with age, does it fade?” Anjali said
“Hey, my lady love, relax and enjoy the
Valentine day. Don’t brood, I proposed the question to the people in hall to
take mazaa of the responses, it was not for you. Come on, bug up and what
special u have stored for your love.”
A cute smile lit her face, “Wait Rahul,
wait…don’t be impatient, see the people around, getting crazy by each passing
moment.” Anjali said.
“Here is my surprise for you dear, open up
and see for yourself: Rahul handed over the packet and a long stemmed red rose…
“Go to restroom & change, I want to see
you in the apparel I have bought ” Rahul winked. Anjali blushed to crimson.
A beautiful high necked one piece maxi of magenta hue perfectly fitted in her
body contours and she herself could not recognize her.
”Aww…what a beauty, my love, it’s
my choice…you & my dress, New pinch,” and he pinched her.
“Thank you Rahul, Gifts are for the special
occasion. Promise me that you will shower love throughout life 24*7, loving
words n loving deeds will matter much in life.”
“Promise” Rahul said and held her tight
against him.
The people in the hall applauded and wished Happy
Valentine day to each other.
One old man trudged and stood beside Rahul and
said, “Hey young man, you don’t need a day to celebrate but as years
drift, responsibilities crop in of family, job and society and we forget to
wish each other. Love exists but we don’t get time to decipher and this special
occasion reminds me that we require to decipher the language of love. People
book restaurants, picnic spots or anything that they love to dwell and take out
time from busy schedule to celebrate.” The old man said. . .
“Fine Sir, but I will keep an hour a day for
my love.” Rahul said & gave a soft peck on Anjali cheek sealing
promise of love forever.
From time immemorial, it is repeated that Health is Wealth. It is true that of all the assets of the Universe, the health is the greatest asset and nothing can beat or substitute it. We should take extra effort to take care of our precious body and a healthy body leads to sound mind and a happy soul, that is the importance of Health in our life.
We all know that Health is the most important. A regular regimen to maintain a healthy lifestyle is a must; still, most of us ignore and stress more on earning bucks.
“Mumma, did you stick to your resolutions this year?” My son asked.
“Hahaha, Resolutions
and your Mom are two banks of river and they never happen to meet, Beta.” This was
my hubby.
“Aisa kya Mumma, why
do you write so religiously? You ask us to be true to our thoughts and words.
Is the thumb rule applies to us only? You are excluded.” M enquired.
I felt like I was
short of words. I didn’t feel awkward what my hubby said but the words of my
son who was giving his boards embarrassed me. I started searching for excuses
sounding real.
“Hey, don’t make me a
laughing stock, Varma? I have so many duties and household work to take care of
along with my professional responsibilities, where do I get time for myself,
Dear.” I winked at my hubby to stop him from spilling out the beans.
We had spent two decades together and he knew well of my aspirations and failures, my ambitions and craziness and I do admit that I was really lethargic to fulfil my few resolutions.
Let me brief you
about my Resolutions, which was scribbled in my diary every year and I did try
to put in my effort in the beginning of the year but by the end, the words
looked at me with a grand smile teasing me, “Babe,
you failed this year, too, but don’t give up. You have another year to fulfil.”
My Resolutions inscribed artistically in my diary said:
1. Physical Exercise – Everyday
2. No Sugar & Less Sugary Items
3. No Scolding to Kids
4. Control Cribbing to Hubby
5. Adding Greens in Meals
6. Eating Fruits giving up tempting snacks
“Mumma, we are going to check your resolution assignments.
We will assign a definite score.” Both my son sung in unison.
“Hmmm, don’t try to
be my Dad. I don’t get time to fulfil my resolutions after taking care of job,
house and you three indefinite characters.” I said giving valid excuse.
“Ok, no problem. We
will take care.” All three Men of my life said.
My 2018 Score card:
Physical Exercise – Everyday – One hour spent on mobile talking could have been used.
No Sugar & Less Sugary Items –
Bought in our name and consumed by you. Be impartial next year.
No Scolding to Kids – Doubtful?
Control Cribbing to Hubby – Erase
from list
Adding Greens in Meals –Greens
are bought and maids are fed, take green helpings & let skinny ones enjoy
meat.
Eating Fruits giving up tempting
snacks – Be kind to US and Exchange plate with us.
“Mumma,
this year, we are writing resolutions for you in your diary and as you monitor
our assignments, we will do yours. It’s for your benefit, you will lose extra
flab and be energetic.” I submitted to their request and hoping Resolutions of
2019 don’t see the fate of Gone With the
Wind. Time to save my Skin.
If you could stay just a little bit longer on holiday, would you take that opportunity? It’s a no brainer, of course you would! Everyone would like to able to extend their holiday while actually on holiday and not be afraid of missing their obligations back home. But that’s life, you can only do so much and have your way half of the time. Well, that can be one way of looking at it or you could explore the reasons for why you could extend your holiday. The first thing we see in our minds when we hear of holiday and extension is doing more of the same. Why would you want to do the same thing you did the day before, and the day before? If you just want more resting time, then perhaps you might need to go home and get back to normal life. You’ll have plenty of chances to get some sleep that way too. But, if you want to explore, have more experiences, take a few risks and truly immerse yourself in the foreign land you’re in then you have to extend your holiday further. It’s strange but we can find it difficult to integrate into the local life when we see ourselves as tourists. If you stay longer you’re bound to feel more like a local and thus have far better experiences.
You just
can’t get enough
As the late Michael Jackson once said, ‘don’t stop til’ you get enough’. When it comes to the sightseeing this rings true for many people. Most of the time when you go on holiday and travel a new land, you’ll end up in a city somewhere. You’ll be walking around or using the public transport to look around art galleries, museums, go to different theatres and generally consume what the city has to offer. Since you are in a city all of these places are usually close together. At the very least you can visit all of the most important locations in a week pretty easily. So what could be a valid reason you should extend your travels?
Going out into the countryside to find different parts of the landscape that are important, is a very good reason. It’s one thing to explore New York City but once you’ve been to a few restaurants and seen a few theatre performances, you get the gist of the city. However, gazing over the Grand Canyon is a totally awe inspiring experience. You’ll never look at the earth or the country you’re in the same again. This is an experience that is worth extending your holiday for.
Considering
a life change
Every now and then when you speak to someone who is fond of traveling, they will have a story for you of someone who went traveling in another country and never came back. Hopefully it’s not a gruesome tale but rather, the person loved the country and culture so much, they picked up their life and moved halfway across the world. If you have ever felt this way in a country you have visited, before making any drastic moves, consider renting an apartment. In Singapore for example, you can rent an apartment for around half of what you would in let’s say America. For the same size apartment, you would be paying around $400-300 a month. On top of this, some cultures and civilizations have just gotten used to living a certain way. In Singapore you can expect to get an apartment with a brilliant view almost every time. It’s a small city-state and thus, living space has literally grown taller rather than wider.
Situate yourself in one of these apartments for a month or two, or possibly half a year and see if you like it or not. It might seem like a good thing to do when you’re actually living as a tourist but once you’re immersed in the culture, are going to work regularly and paying bills, then you’ll get feel of it on a deeper level. Once the glamor of the new country wears away then you get a more accurate picture of what your normal life will be like if you did choose to permanently move out there.
You need the emotional break
Holidays aren’t just for relaxing physically but to have mental break
too. When your life is in turmoil and you’re going through something that is highly
emotionally taxing, having an extended holiday is just what you need. Being far
away from a situation that you don’t want to live in is a good temporary
escape. By no means does it mean you should rely on it but it can help you to
sit back and observe your situation more clearly. With the clarity gained from
taking things slow in your life and experiencing some of the better pleasures
that holidays have to offer, you can come back to your normal life with
solutions to your problems.
It’s also great if you have a family, to extend your holiday which could
give you all a better outlook on life. Rather than focussing on the pressures
that are on a family such as moving homes for a job or for school, perhaps even
that the home is undergoing construction and you can’t live normally until the
work is done are all good, ideas and reasons for why you should extend your
holiday. It can also help the children
to relax and forget about their worries such as having a long year of exams and
tests. Their young minds can refresh and learn to appreciate the smaller and
simpler things in life before they go back into full-time studying. Who knows,
having a longer holiday might actually strengthen your bond as a family.
There are plenty of reasons for why you should take a longer holiday
than previously planned. However, there are really only a few good reasons if
we’re honest with ourselves. When you need an emotional break then you should
extend your holiday if you can. Moving out and perhaps wanting to become a
permanent resident in the country you’re visiting is another great reason why
you can extend a holiday as a test.

If you are a keen traveler, chances are that you often struggle going as far as you always wanted, as you don’t have a big enough budget. Just ask yourself where you would wake up in a week if money was not an obstacle? Thanks to the recent developments in search engines and software, it is now easier to locate deals than ever, and you can save money without employing travel agents. No matter if you are planning on visiting remote villages in Africa or Asia, or want to experience the urban environment of developing countries, you can save a lot of money by doing your research. Find out more below.
If you want cheaper deals, chances are that you might need to go off season. In Asia, you can pick a date at the beginning or the end of the Monsoon, so you get better deals on flights and accommodation as well. No matter if you are traveling for work or pleasure, you will need to make the most out of your budget. You can save up to 50 percent if you are ready to put up with a couple of rainy days.
Long Term Property Deals
In case you are planning on staying longer than a week, you might not get the best deal by booking a hotel. Instead, you should look at the property listings and see if you can find great luxury apartments for rent and enjoy the comfort that equals the one you have at home. You will also save money on food and services, and may even use public transport to see the city or the surrounding attractions. You might need to engage with local property agencies to get an idea of how they can accommodate your budget.
When you are trying to arrange a trip to Asia or the Caribbean, you will find plenty of offers online provided by agencies in your own country. The truth is that these agencies are taking a cut of the price and are simply reselling local providers’ packages. The same applies to car rentals and tours, as well as transportation from the airport. You should always find time to engage with people locally, so you can get a better price and get insider information on the culture, customs, and the best ways to make the most out of your trip.
Invitations
You will be surprised, but there are several ways you can make the most out of your online or offline network. Indian people, for example, love guests, and you might get invited to a wedding any time. This means that you will benefit from the knowledge of the locals, and always have a couple of people around you who speaks the language, no matter how remote the location is. Invite some of your friends to your home and see if they return the favor. Likewise, you can spend a week in stunning Ireland, provided that you have friends over there. You might even end up in Kochi and spend a long weekend at the backwaters.
Festival Bookings
There are some funny things you need to know about festivals in Asia and the Caribbean. While foreigners are accepted and welcome, you will benefit from locals’ company. Be friendly and engage with locals. Sometimes – more often than not – the best way to find out about local festivals is sitting down and listening to conversations. You should try and learn a few words of the local language, so you can engage with locals and get invited. This will make you feel safe and one of the locals, too.
Attraction Hot Spots
One of the things you should avoid when you are looking to improve your business is booking a hotel near attractions or in the city center. It will cost you much more than staying in the outskirts, not to mention that you will have to put up with the road traffic and the noise. It is always better to get a hotel in the outskirts and travel to the attractions, instead of having to fight your way through the crowd.
No matter which part of Asia you are traveling to, or where you are staying, you will need to experience traveling overnight by train. There is something so unique about the journey and sitting back, talking to locals and listening to their chatter. It is, however, important that you use a local agent to complete your booking, especially when you are traveling to India, as the process can be complicated, and you will find it hard to get it right. There are different classes on trains that only locals fully understand.
Group Travel
To save money on your travel, you can also sign up for group deals. Most hotels and hostels will offer group booking discount, and you can even get your private transfer costs reduced while having the convenience of getting door-to-door service. No matter if you join an existing group or would like to arrange a gateway and cultural trip with your friends, you will certainly have a better deal and spared the cost of your private tours and accommodation.
Villa Rentals
If you are interested in having an environment that is away from the tourist strip, you can also rent a villa or apartment. Before you travel, especially if you are planning on staying longer than a few weeks, you will need to search local websites for apartments for rent so you can work out the cost between all the travelers and do your location research, which is always important when you are traveling to an unknown country.
Connecting Flights
The good news is that you can get connecting domestic flights at a low cost so you can make the most out of your budget and your holiday allowance. While traveling by train and on the road will help you get up close and personal with people and see more of the culture, sometimes you will have to cover hundreds of miles between places you want to visit, and you don’t want to spend it on the train or the back of a car or minibus. Sometimes, the roads will simply be too rough to travel at the speed you want to. Find out more about the airports and the domestic flight services, prices to be able to make an informed decision.
Self Transport
If you are brave enough, and have enough driving experience, you might also drive yourself. The good news is that car rental is pretty cheap in Asia and the Caribbean, especially if you manage to avoid large international companies. There are several great local travel agents that will provide you with a guide or help you make the most out of your trip by giving you driving tips. You can visit remote places usually not accessible without a car. Driving in Asia, however, is not for the faint hearted, and you will need to have an international license that is accepted locally.
No matter if you are looking to travel to Africa, Asia, or the Caribbean, you will need to be prepared for a culture shock. You can, however, make your budget stretch further and stay safe at the same time, if you stay flexible. It is crucial that you understand the differences and the power of personal connections in these cultures. Getting insider tips is extremely valuable when you are looking to experience the culture and engage with it.
