Declutter with this simple storage solution- BoxMySpace to your rescue!

Mumbai rentals count amongst the most expensive world over. Owning a 2BHK is considered a luxury & a middle class family spends its lifetime saving to buy one in Mumbai. Naturally, due to smaller houses, space crunch is a major issue. The same holds for me as well. Being a voracious reader, my room over the years has been deluged in a flood of books right from Dan Browns to Marketing books of Kotler. Like any other lover of books, I usually avoid giving away my books. I donate some every year, but there are hundred others, which I like to re-read. Till a few days, I was in a dilemma over this as the shelf had literally no space to accommodate any more books & every other space had been eaten up too. It was then that I heard about BoxMySpace while browsing the internet.  The box used for storage Boxmyspace is a simple and secure storage solution which helps people store their unwanted stuff and clear up space in their home and office. This venture currently operati

Some told her to pray, others to visualize Saying, work your way, don’t see left or right. Work she did, day & night, Her goal, though not in sight. One day, her dream stared her in the face She was too numb to react “Dreams do come true. I can’t believe it, “, she cried “Maybe, I was too afraid, I’d fail” she said & smiled.

Th is, coming from a not so patient person who sat through a 3 hour movie, where every minute was worth it!  Salman Khan is at his usual best & this may be one of his top performances of all times & the adorable six year old, Harshali Malhotra melted my heart with her dimpled smile & a power packed acting.

Salman Khan, plays Pawan Kumar Chaturvedi, a simpleton & a Lord Hanuman Bhakt who runs into Shahida & takes it upon himself to return the young girl to her family in Sultanpur, Pakistan. The story revolves around the trials, Pawan
