We all would have faced such a situation at some point of time – either we forgot to buy something for which we went shopping or out of 10 things necessary for buying our grocery necessities, we end up buying one of two items short.  We then again go out for purchasing those and waste our time.  The reason could be something to do with our remembering-capability.  It can also happen that we buy some 3-4 items more as it was offered at a discount!!  To overcome such a scenario, it is essential to prepare a shopping list that has all the stuff that you require.  This was you can constantly check your list to see if all the items in that list have been bought or not.  Preparation of the list can seem to be long-drawn out affair, but if you prepare it in a proper way, it can help you save petrol and can also ensure that you buy only those that are required and you don’t spend on anything extra!!  Take a sheet of paper and start entering the items...

A long long time ago, your memory was so sharp that you could recite different phone numbers, different addresses and even birthdays of your near-relatives, even in your sleep.  But now, with shorter attention spans, remembering the different passwords also seems a gigantic task, what to talk about the above-mentioned!!  With newer cellphones, remembering the phone numbers has become a passé.

With each site having their own guidelines for the password, right from the number of characters to having at least 1 or 2 numbers, with having at ...

Who doesn’t like shopping?  Almost everyone loves shopping for themselves.  For some, it might be a 2-minute job, while for others it can almost take a day or two to buy stuff!  And if you can get your shopping done with discounts, then nothing beats it!! For all your shopping needs, there are a quite a number of websites offering you discounts ranging from 5% to 50%.  Ensure you visit these sites before starting your shopping spree.  The pain that you get, when you hear that your friend has bought the same item at a cheaper price, is very frustrating!!  The frustration then gets passed on to your family members and your mood takes some time to come to the normal position!!

Earlier, whenever a vacation was planned, it used to take a lot of time to put the plan into action.  Where to go, how to go, where to stay, food availability there, list of places to see there, how much money to take, weather forecast for that area during your travel, how to travel in that location and so on and so forth.
