QVENDO: All Those Sexy Trendy Brands You Strived For All Your Life Are Now In India

If you have strived for all these years for getting the best international brands of apparels, footwear, casuals, sunglasses, flip flops and much more, here in India; your desires are fulfilled now with launch of QVENDO. I myself when went to Europe and U.S. and saw these great brands that I could by only within certain limits, I used to dream if I could ever be getting them in my own country. I am not talking about the common foreign brands. I am talking about superior class brands like JBrand, Hudson, Hermes, Black Swan, Natalie Portman, Zeha Berlin, and many more that will be coming.

Well, it was a wonderful surprise when qvendo team visited my place, handed over an amount of Rs. 50,000 to me and told me to invest on qvendo products within next 5 hours or so. And that is how my quest for qvendo started at that time only.

Obviously the beginning had to be from the ladies section when I had my wife and daughter with me. We started with flip*flopsection  and soon a scintillating pink colored piece caught the eyes of my wife. So my first purchase was ‘flip*flop snake clutch pink’ that was really fabulous. It was for Rs. 2,800 against its retail price of Rs. 6,500 (was amazed to get such a great discount). Another piece we bought from this section was ‘flip*flop smock dress grey’ that was for only Rs. 1,900 against Rs. 4,200. I was left with Rs. 45,300 to manage other items in the store. The sale in flip*flop section is till October 19, 2011.

We moved to the Love Leather section  . A Dolce & Gabbana Belt Black for me was a decent selection worth Rs. 6,200 (actual cost Rs. 9,700) and equally good was Prime Shoes Brogue Shoe Brown that was for Rs. 9,500 at discounted price. The discount festival in Love Leather section is till October 12, 2011. We bought a Hugo Boss Strap Sandal White. By now I was left with Rs. 19,700. Intentional leaving Designer Sunglasses for last we moved to the Casual Friday section where the sale will end on October 1.

We bought a Calvin Klein Trouser White Denim Effect in this overcrowded section. Lot more had to be purchased but I was left only with Rs. 13,500. An amount of Rs. 50,000 was looking quite sufficient in the beginning had reduced drastically with so manty aspirations untouched still. I bought a Citizens of Humanity Jeans dark denim that was really awful.

We hurriedly rushed to Designer Sunglasses section where the sale is ending on October 6^th. A smart and trendy piece was grabbed with no second thought for it as only one piece was left and I could see so many hands moving towards it. It was Giorgio Armani Shades Black/ Brown. I still had a lot of things in all sections seeking my attention. I asked Qvendo guys if I could get another round of Rs. 50,000.

Very soon you will find some more amazing brands here like Tommy Hilfiger, Furla, Ralph Lauren, Porsche Design, and Hugo Boss in Essential Accessories. Breathtaking stuff from Joana Danciu and True Religion is also about to be launched soon.

My First Encounter With An Online Directory For Casinos

When I was in Malaysia wandering in Genting Heights I visited a casino for the second time in life. Genting Heights is a place in Malaysia where there in nothing called night. It is because the night is as lively there as the day, rather more. My first visit to a Casino was in Den Haag, or The Hague, where you can find the largest casino of the world.

Online casino games are quite popular these days. I never knew that there would be an online directory on casino unless I visited this website and coincidentally, it is the largest directory on casino on internet worldwide. It is quite elaborative and exhaustive in terms of providing you detailed reviews on each and every aspect of casino. Depending on you interest you can find a variety of casino games well explained with each game’s rules and directions on right approach to play that game. An updated rating of top 10 worldwide casinos is always available here.

Casinos were offline till 1996 when it started as an online game and quickly became a big hit. Enormous amount of money gets exchanged online on a daily basis. One of the basic reason for it becoming hit over the internet is that it provides you a convenient way to play the game as per your own comfort.

It is though not permitted in many countries but still has a high amount of popularity among masses all over the globe. Among plenty of websites offering it, whichever you select, its desktop software needs to be downloaded and installed as a one time exercise. Once it is installed, you can start playing it and enjoying it. Some websites have stared offering browser specific widgets to make it more comfortable these days. An account needs to be opened as it is a money based game; hence your credentials need to be filled in. Before opening your account on any of such websites you must assess its rating and standing in the market.

All such online games are controlled by Interactive Gaming Council (IGC). Each of the sites have their online support mechanism in case you face a trouble at any moment of time. It is always better to learn as much as possible from this website before you start playing.

When I read about the different games of casino here, I found Roulette quite interesting. It is among the oldest games having a very high rate of popularity worldwide. It is quite simple to play.

Delivering an Effective Speech: How effective is EFFECTIVE

A bend in the road is not the end of the road ...  unless you fail to make the turn. Before reaching at the end (that we presume as end) of the road, we normally stop and that’s the end. Rare are those who still go further till end and find that it was not end, but a turn. And thus the journey continues for them. 


This happens many a times in life, especially whenever we are facing a challenge, and to be precise when we are given a new task. A game is as simple or tough as its opponent. And in this case (when you have to deliver a speech) you are your own opponent. 


Once you win over yourself that you are the best (and which you are), the game is won before it starts. For any speech, I feel if following tips are followed, one can make the speech effec.tive Game starts NOW


Stand tall: You know you are there to deliver, and it is only you to deliver at the time of speech when other are at the receiving end. So stand tall, I mean this is a special time so make yourself feel that you are something special today as you are going to cater to a special group. Start your day well, dress well and wish yourself a good luck for the day.


Know your Audience: if you are going to speak in front of junior managers of a company and you prepare your speech relevant to the directors of the company, it is going to be a big boo boo! So understanding the lot – who and what is very important.


Understand the subject: You may be master of this field but all actors do not perform well in all type of roles. Overconfidence sometimes may mar the show! What is it on which you have to deliver the speech, make it very clear to yourself.


Choose the contents of delivery: Now you are the scriptwriter of the show, so based on the Audience and Subject choose your contents very clearly. It should be Neither too short nor too long. Choose the contents appropriately.


Frame them rightly: The success of a good script has to do a lot with the sequence setting and the flow of contents. Don’t spend too much time on a point.


Welcome QA at the end: Right at the beginning announce that you are going to entertain any queries at the end of the speech or presentation. If you don’t do this, you will keep on getting queries/questions in between and you will not be able to justify your timings allocated for your speech.


Manage your timings well: All things may not go as per plan, so be prepared to be flexible in between to adjust your timings. But be careful, speech that ends slightly before the time is better than taking time more than allocated.


Practice Practice Practice: Before the delivery of speech live, do rehearse well at least 10 times. Remember Amitabh Bachchan in Amar Akbar Anthony, drunk and standing in front of a mirror talking to himself. Do the same way if you are not able to gather some people during the rehearsal. Stand in front of a mirror (preferably a full size one) and note the way you are delivering – your style, body language, movements, voice tone etc. The more you practice, the more confidence will it build in you.


Don’t get bogged down: Now during the live show, you may find at times one or two persons who intend to spoil the show by raising irrelevant questions. Either avoid those queries, or tell them very politely that these questions are out of scope of this speech and have no relevance with the subject. Still if hw persists, tell him to meet you after the speech since it seems that it is related to that particular person and you don’t want to waste the time of whole group.


Try to recollect: During your preparations try to recollect / observe the movies, speeches, news deliveries, anchors of shows, to learn how to deliver the best.


Start with first gear:Take some time initially (and correspondingly give some time) to settle down, find out your space, get a little informal with your audience to form a relationship. Remember your audience is as excited and anxious as you are. So crack a relevant joke, start with a happy note etc.


Basics: Keep basic things intact throughout your speech – tone, body language, hands movement, your walking in between. Don’t be over-conscious, neither be too relaxed so that neither you appear frightened nor you throw an impression that you are least interested in the people there. Keep eye to eye contact with your audience. Never look in void, blank or wildly. Don’t stare or get stuck at one person or place, keep your eyes moving but in such a manner that it appears as you are paying attention to everyone evenly and regularly.
