#Colgate360GoldMornings ~ My routine to turn my good mornings in to Gold mornings.

Each day I begin my morning at 5:30 am. I like being a routine guy because I believe that with a fixed idea of what to do, time is better managed and I am able to enjoy each second of my morning to the fullest. Right after waking up, I drink one liter of water which is helpful in cleansing my system.

Colgate 360 Charcoal Gold is the Gold standard of whole mouth cleaning!

Oral hygiene is important to me and not any toothbrush works for me. I use only the best that I know is not only effective but also an all-rounder like my Colgate 360 Charcoal Gold toothbrush that cleans not only my teeth but also the tongue, cheeks and gums. It leaves my whole mouth clean and me feeling refreshed. With its soft bristles and sturdy handle, this toothbrush is a winner and I love brushing my teeth with it. Coming from a trusted brand like Colgate, Colgate 360 Charcoal Gold toothbrush turns my good mornings into #Colgate360GoldMornings. It is the Gold standard of whole mouth cleaning and has already won over my whole family with its effectiveness!

Washed and with a clean mouth, I feel confident and ready to take on my day. My next stop is the gym where I sweat for an hour each day. Exercise is important not only for keeping us in shape but it also enhances our mood and leaves us feeling and looking healthier. I alternate between weight training and cardio exercises and enjoy all the praise I get for looking fit and dapper.

After a rigorous session at the gym, I take a refreshing warm water bath and am greeted by my lovely wife who is already done with her morning chores of cooking breakfast and preparing my lunchbox for office and can be seen with a hot cup of tea, watching the many birds that haunt our garden early in the morning. Her stunning smile makes my morning even better.

As we eat breakfast outside in the garden, we chat about our plans for the day. We try and eat a healthy breakfast every day and tend to go for more fiber and less oil variants which give me energy and strength but don’t add unnecessary weight on my body, keeping me active and alert. Breakfast is an important meal and should comprise of food items that are healthy for our body and contain essential nutrients to keep us feeling fresh, energetic and fit to tackle the challenges of the day.

With the end of breakfast, ends my morning and before long I am rushing to office.


This is how I turn my good mornings in to Gold Mornings each day! What about you?

#SpreadTheVibe: When people gave way to save a life!

"Always give way to ambulance" is what we all are taught but unfortunately, not many follow this advice. In early 2015, it was noticed that the mishaps due to the late arrival of the ambulances carrying patients to the hospitals had risen drastically. This led to a widespread debate and the launch of 'Give Way To Ambulance' campaign which saw volunteers, police and Government coming forward to educate people on the importance of giving way to ambulance in traffic and help in saving lives!

The results were very inspiring. Once we, common citizens, decide to do something no one and nothing can stop us. This became evident to me when a few months back I got stuck in a heavy traffic jam with cars, motorcycles, buses and even trucks lined as far as the eye could see.

It was jam packed with no way to back up and the line was crawling at a snail's pace when, suddenly, I heard the loud wailing siren of an ambulance which, on checking my car's mirror, I saw, was five or seven vehicles behind my car. The siren signalled a patient in transit to the hospital and while I tried taking my car to the side it looked almost hopeless. 

Just when I was starting to feel discouraged, I saw that the vehicles ahead of me had started paving a way for the ambulance to pass, leaving me with enough space that I quickly gave way to it from my side. Withing minutes a long path had been created for the ambulance and as it breezed past me with its screeching siren, I not only felt relief at having done my duty but also felt good that every one of us had, maybe, saved a life that day.

This incident left me feeling good, inspired and hopeful of a future where everyone will look out for each other and even through simple measures like giving way to an ambulance, we all will do something good each day.

This incident was a very small one but still significant because it showed the power of unity and determination. It showed that when we come together to do something, anything is possible. Even a mega traffic jam like this one could not stop us!

The below are some things that we, as motorists, should do when we see an ambulance stuck in traffic:

I pledge to give way to ambulance always and in turn, save lives. Do you?
