Snap Circuits – Best Educational toy gift for kids

Snap Circuits is the best gift you can give to any kid aged 3 to 15 or even 20. I wish I had these circuits before joining the Electrical Engineering Course!! Learning would have been so much fun.

My son was introduced to this at an early age as I had bought this gift for my daughter. He started making the circuits at the age of 3 or 4 if I remember exactly. Now that he is six year old and got a friend who loves doing these circuits with him, he is more hooked to these circuits. Every day they go on making new projects. I ordered another kit from Snap Circuits as that one excited him and I felt along with new kit he will get more elements which he could use for all projects including the old one.

Make sure to buy the original one from ELENCO. The price is costly considering its for kids. But if we start saving the money by not spending on junk food and other phone apps which are not good for kids, then we can definitely buy these toys.

Here are the links for some basic kits which you can start with

Lady with the lamp at JaganMohanPalace in Mysore

Most of the people from #Mysore would definitely be familiar with the painting Lady with the lamp. This is is kept in a separate room next to Raja Ravi Varma paintings. So most people remember this also as from Raja Ravi Varma. But contrary to popular belief this painting is made by S L Haldankar. Sharing a news article from Bangalore Mirror here. Do visit #mysore in #Karnatakastate and visit #jaganmohanapalace and see this Painting and share it here!!

Sankranti ellu from Amazon

Sankranti Ellu Bella

In Karnataka its a custom to eat Ellu Bella which means Sesame Seeds and Jaggery ( a type of sugar) during sankranti festival. We also prepare it and share with all friends and family. It takes time to prepare at home. But here amazon was at rescue this time. Its easily available in stores in Karnataka during the season but as I am in Hyderabad I was missing the ellu bella. But Amazon was at rescue. Delighted to find Ellu Bella on amazon. You can also order it and taste it. Its all good for the winter weather. So grab it before Summer starts.

Mosquito net for King Size bed

Here is my review of mosquito net from amazon India. We bought this product few months back. Initially I was skeptical if it would fit properly. But I did make sure to order the right size and it did fit properly. It also comes with lot of plastic stars which you can attach on the net. Kids will love it. It also serves the purpose of blocking any hole that might appear after prolonged use.

The disadvantages are its not cotton and not sure how to wash it!.

Echou Glassware – eco friendly glassware for your summer drinks

My little son has started loving fresh juices and often asks me to make him fresh juice from different fruits. So I started making him juice and its a healthy habit. And I wanted to make the experience more pleasant. So I decided to buy these juice glasses. They are delicate and not kid friendly. But they are definitely eco friendly. Also the tight lid would not let kids spill the juice. The straw is also made of glass. I loved the packaging and the product. would definitely recommend all environment friendly people to go for it.

You can buy the product here.

Big Basket Medchal Review

We have been regularly ordering online groceries from Big Basket for more than a year now. I was quiet satisfied with their service even though their prices are higher compared to the local grocery stores.

But off late I have decided not to continue with BigBasket as the service at their #medchal location has become drastically poor. These days whenever I select a slot and order items it never comes during that slot. And when I check my app to see what happened, I see message that the order is cancelled. Then I see another message order is placed for next slot. Then again the items do not arrive and there is no contact number or contact support option given. Then finally the orders either come at 12 in the night or again rescheduled for next day.

They always mention the reason the agent tried to contact you, he visited your place and you were not at home!! Then if I manage to somehow reach the customer service and tell them I did not get any call and I was at home, then their reaction is sorry for the inconvenience!!

#bigbasket had got the first mover advantage in #medchal but with such a pathetic service its definitely not going to make best use of it.
