Social causes for which we all must come together and speak up, NOW

The art of communication is not mastered by just knowing what to say and how to say it. 

A big factor knows when to say it.  So often many people just sit back and say nothing when something really needs to be said. It could be an idea, a suggestion, an observation, a criticism...but for some reason they don't want to speak up.

They may be afraid of hurting the next person, looking foolish or mean or opening a can of worms that will make a mess in everyone's lives.  Sometimes chose to stay silent they think it is the wiser choice. 

Speak up Against All Kinds of Sexual Abuse

I don’t want to insert any statistical figures of the cases reported and those which never got reported. Not only women, but we keep witnessing a lot of cases of child abuse. All I want to urge you is, if you happen to witness any, speak up. You could be a savoir. Now is the time we stop hesitating and start taking a stand against this.

Speak Up Against Child Labour

Yes, child labour is illegal in India. But have you not seen young kids working at tea stalls, road side dhaba’s, hotels? Next time when you see a child working, speak up.

Speak Up Against Corruption

Maybe one person initiating this won’t make a difference, but someone has to start this. Yes, we’ll face a lot of problems by not giving bribe but if this is not the correct time to put an end to bribery, I don’t know when it will be the correct time.

Speak Up Against Gender Inequalities 

This is not the time where we discriminate people based on their genders, but it is the time where we walk hand in hand towards development. Be it a male or a female, both are supposed to have equal rights. Don’t stop our daughters to grow. Speak up.

This is the fantastic campaign run by http://www.abmontubolega.com/ this contest give all of us a chance to raise our voice against all social problems we all facing in our day to day life.  We know that raising our voices against all that is dirty in our country is a power that we all have. Let’s exercise the power of our voice & work towards a Swach Bharat.

My dream 24K home with Porcelanosa

Ever since I was a child I always dream about having my own beautiful home, where I stay peacefully and read book... Wow just thinking about it makes me so relax. In my family everyone is so much interested interiors. And we wanted to get all the best stuffs for our home. Recently we renovate our kitchen and modified their designs to suit my liking. I am happy with my efforts. Kitchen is very important section in our home, as I love cooking so a well design kitchen is a needful. With interior you can’t satisfy because tomorrow for all that you know you might want something else. So we are taking time to do up our home and I really don’t mind that at all. I like to updating things.

I came across these beautiful home décor and interior products from Porcelanosa which give you that Mediterranean feel. This Spanish organization has been spreading their magical touch in interiors for 40 years and guess what they are now entering Asia with Kolte-Patil Developers for their luxury brand #24KLiving. If you have not checked the project already you should definitely check it out here.

Now if I had to do my interiors with Porcelanosa products I would love redesign a lot of things. Let’s start with my Kitchen. I prefer a counter open kitchen which not only gives a very contemporary look but also enhances the bonding in the family member. This design by Porcelanosa brings out exactly my preference of style a dining space. The asymmetrically-shaped green chairs make the right match for the setup.

My Sista is very good when it comes to color combination, she likes wood work too much and walls painted in silver color for dining room with lamp above the dining table. This combination from Porcelanosa would be perfect.

And the best partner for the shower enclosure can only be the rain shower. I simply love the LED lighting on the shower panel. It would give just the perfect rain shower experience when you want to get soaked. Great job Porcelanosa

I would love to have wooden flooring in my specious master bedroom coz I love dancing and will dance there every day. I would love to have had wooden flooring in the living room area and lounge area as well. It's just picture perfect for the parties and winters. I can see myself dancing on it!

And lastly, how can I forget my love for clothes and shoes. I would ideally want a walk in closet with ample space for clothes. Hanging options for my dresses and formals racks for my woolens and casual How about something like this? It would be just amazing.

Toilet For Babli.....

In simple words Open defecation is the practice of defecating outside or in public.  The open defecation is a big challenge in India. This may be done as a result of mostly having no access to toilets. 

The (WHO) World Health Organization and (UNICEF) United Nations Children’s Fund approximate that there are more than 620 million people practising open defecation in the country. Children—already vulnerable and marginalized—pay the highest price in respect of their survival and development. Open defecation is prevalent among all socio-economic groups in rural India though the bottom two wealth quintiles bear the heaviest burden. This well-established traditional behaviour is deeply ingrained through practice from early childhood; it is taught. Other reasons cited for its persistence in India include poverty these people cannot afford toilets, tenants in housing without toilets usually in urban areas, and some deep-rooted cultural and social norms that have established open defecation as an acceptable practice. 

India is home to the largest number of children in the world nearly around 500 million Indians are less than 18 years of age. India loses more than 600,000 small children under the age of five year due to pneumonia and diarrhoea. Its almost 30% of the global total. Bacteriological contamination, the absence of toilet-use and sadly poor personal and communal hygiene it including no usual hand-washing with soap at critical times. Exacerbate both of these killers; 88% of diarrhoea deaths are linked to incomplete water and sanitation service provision in our country. 

Having a toilet is important for everyone, especially for Girls and Women, its everyone’s basic right access to safe, clean toilets.  Every girl free from the need to defecate in the open, they no longer have to suffer the indignity of verbal and physical abuse or humiliation when relieving themselves. Every day we all read in newspaper that rape and sexual harassment are also a risk for many women who wait until nightfall and seek the privacy of darkness to relieve themselves. Women and girls don’t need toilet facilities just for defecation; they also need privacy and dignity when menstruating. The symptoms of menstruation, pregnancy and the postnatal period become more problematic if women have nowhere to deal with them adequately. 

Separate toilets at school mean more girls are likely to attend in the first place, and more girls are likely to stay on after puberty to complete their education. In this way we can encourage more girl child to complete their education. Women place a higher value on access to private sanitation facilities than men but this basic thing often remain unheard. There is a real need for facilities which meet women’s physical and psychological demands and preferences, and these can be readily achieved by including women in the design and placement of these facilities.

You can bring about the change in the lives of millions of kids, thereby showing your support for the Domex Initiative. All you need to do is “click” on the “Contribute Tab” on www.domex.in and Domex will contribute Rs.5 on your behalf to eradicate open defecation, thereby helping kids like Babli live a dignified life.
