I switched my work organization😉

First of all thank you for coming here to read my blogs. I haven't posted for a long time now and believe I will be more consistent going forward.

 I joined a new organization 2 days back and it feels like the best decision I have taken in a while. I believe we must all keep looking for growth in all aspects of life. Be it career or health or emotional growth.
Sometimes you get stuck in a loop of doing things and no matter how much you work hard you are never appreciated or more problems arise. A similar situation happened to me in life where I felt no amount of work is getting me out of this loop. 
I had some really crappy work surrounded by tough people to handle. When I decided to switch my job for monetary and other reasons it was very hard to get any interview calls. 
The key here is to keep believing. I never believed because market is bad and stuff but my husband kept constantly applying to jobs on my behalf.
I had some mental breakdowns due to the work wherein I heavily applied for jobs one week and next week I just crash on my couch.

Whenever I met my friends I asked them for referrals and also checked in with whoever I knew for job opportunities. I started getting calls only in January (I was searching almost 4-5 months back😬). I got rejected in few interviews and few people literally ghosted after taking interviews. I attended a interview in the mid week of January in the organization I joined.
It was 2 weeks and I dint receive any information from them. I was depressed thinking I will be stuck here forever. But one fine morning of Jan 29 I decided to get out of the house to nearby coffee shop with free wifi. I started applying to jobs again. It was afternoon and I decided to go back home for lunch and some pending office work.
I received a call from HR saying I got the job. I was soo excited. This call was soo magically because I got it on the same day I started believing and stepped out again to apply.

Next thing I know they call me back telling the interview they took was not valid as the platform they used was not approved. They immediately asked me to attend one more round.
I freaked out. I managed to do it but little did I realize this was just for formality and they had already sent the offer letter once the call started. Only after the call was over I checked my mail because my husband was constantly calling (He logged into my account for applying to jobs and was receiving my mails ever since😑 His way of making sure I don't miss out any calls when I have those mental breakdowns wherein I quit job portals search and mail reading for a while). 

I also learnt very important lessons from my rejected interviews. I was not fully prepared for the questions they asked, In some interviews I was too nervous I blabbered few details on my work exp and this went into a loop of questions where I got stuck, some interviews I dint give optimized solutions to problems they asked. 

Takeaway:

• Never stay in an un-appreciated place.
• Always stay where you feel valuable.
• Always learn and upskill yourself, I missed out many opportunities as I decided to go only for a specific language related to mobile app development. If I had put in some time to explore the other language I wouldn't have to wait this long for a successful interview. I'm still adamant about it but have decided to be more flexible.
• Learning only 1 solution to a problem was a mistake and I lost an opportunity because I dint provide an optimized solution.

All the best if your looking for a job change. But if your already happy in the job, never stop learning💖

Read this if you feel sick and unwell all the time..

 

This post is just to change your narrative on health if you have been feeling sick or being called a sick person all the time. I would like to explain this using my life story.

I have been the most adventure loving fun person I know throughout my life but I stopped believing this narrative and started feeling sick and lazy and it all started during the onset of covid.

If you would have known me before this phase you would have rarely seen me sick. I would have cried a few times because of teen life crisis but it had nothing to do with my health. Even on family trips to hills I have never felt nauseated.

During the 8 months of being a fresher I had lot of freedom and money to buy and eat things I want and there were times I used to eat 2 small size pizzas around 10:30 pm. It dint do anything to me but the results showed up during locked down where I gained around 8 kgs.

I had work for the entire day during this fresher phase and my onset of frequent headaches started. This is when I started using Amrutanjan that has now become an inevitable part of my life😂. After moving to Trichy things became worse because my food and environment changed. The spicy diet was too much for me and the summer was harsh and I had to spend entire day confined to a AC room working from home.

With minimal physical activity and the AC my headaches became so intense that until I take a pill or puke it never went away. I visited ophthalmologist, general physician and other specialist to figure out what is wrong with me. I scanned my eyes to check for power and even my head for migraine but everything thing was normal.

My father in law was the person who pointed out that Im staying in the room all day in front of system under AC and it can be the cause. He also advised me to get some sun and wake up early.

It was hard to wake up early🙈 but then me and my husband made a major change by hitting the gym. One month after joining the gym my head aches vanished away. 

But this was kind of short term because we moved to Bangalore and settling here we took around 6-8 months break from gym. During this period I was doing too much of work and spent lot of time organising and set up the house and making my own food. Travelling to office for an hour and waiting in traffic caused back aches. 

Whenever my husband came back from college I used to constantly complain that my head aches, my neck aches and back aches. He started calling me weak body. When he suggested about gym I told him that he is crazy because I was spending lot of energy doing things at the house and this itself feels like a workout. But he dragged me and we were kind off brainwashed into a 1 year membership because of the offer.

But I wouldn't complain. I don't go to the gym very strictly because I travel to my hometown monthly once or we travel somewhere but we visit gym when we are in Bangalore. This has been a major factor and made me more cautious on what I put in my body. There's an in body score and I have improved by 5 points since I joined the gym. My back aches became less frequent after the strength training I have been doing at the gym.

Narrative changing moment

When I told my mom that my husband calls me weak she was kind off shocked and worried because she said Im the most active person she knows and Im the one who travels with her and declutters house and also ready to go where she calls me. She made me realise that I have been falling sick because of the major diet change I had since I moved to different places and not eating the right food.

Besides this, the problem is when you start believing that you are a sick and weak person everyone arounds you feels the same. Hence I have decided to not constantly crib about head aches or back aches or neck aches just for the sake of it. If you really think some part of your body is unwell wait it out or change the environment. If it turns unbearable seek professional help.

I was motivated to write this because of the reel I saw on Instagram were a man says "My wife is not my wife until she says these things. If her head doesn't hurt, her stomach hurts and if that's fine then her leg hurts". My husband sent a laughing emoji along with this reel and I felt 😒.

Little did I realise the reason for this is how I put myself out there. Imagine you have a person who always talks about their health issues to you and you are obviously bound to think that they are sick person. This is the exact thing that happened with me.

Takeaway:

Feel healthy and you will automatically stay health. Make the right choices and give out positive healthy vibes when you speak about health. Never pop a pill until its absolutely necessary.

 

Assumptions about married women

That's me. And I prefer doing whatever I like be it going on trips or hitting the gym or doing my office work or cooking.

1. Cooking - Assumption that women must cook despite having busy careers.

Dont get me wrong. Infact, I love trying out new dishes occasionally. But the phone call I had received from my relative the other day made me question this. They were constantly interested in what Im cooking or if I learnt to cook the dal gravy.

I faced a similar incident at the gym. Our trainer asked me to cook more protein rich food for my husband and feed him regularly.

Though meant in a humorous way, the underlying meaning kind of made me feel sad. The fact that nobody would say this to a husband made me question.

Cooking is a life skill. It is a choice. We can always hire someone. We might develop interest in cooking once we start living on our own. We must also stop judging someone for their food choices.

When I say I make protein pancakes or wheat semiya or masala oats I know how my relatives might react.

2. Bring stuff only from your parents home - This is also a sad expectation people have from women. Everything she brings to a new house she moves in with her husband must be from her parents money or their home. It is a sick mentality. Some relatives are also proud that they got a car or a house or stuff for their daughters wedding promoting this materialism further.

Curating a house where two people live must be their choice. Pieces they collect and the stuff they buy must adhere to their lifestyle. My mom also got a lot of things before my wedding. But I preferred to leave most of it behind and bring the bare minimum. My husband also collected stuff from his house when we moved to Bangalore.

Vehicles, vessels and other things are just items. Never let any person attach your worth with the stuff you possess. In fact most of the items I bought here were old ones.

Other wedding gifts are actually lying in the cupboards in our hometowns. My mother finally realised that it was a mistake that she bought all that just because I was getting married. Peer pressure made her acquire materialistic possession so that nobody questions my worth.

I urge we move more towards no materialistic marriages with no stuff involved. The girl and guy can get their own stuff after they move alone.

3. Women is responsible for keeping the house tidy - House is a space where an entire family resides. It not a womens sole responsibility to constantly clean the house and keep it tidy. Men must be taught basic etiquette to keep their surroundings clean. Only then the children growing up in such environment will learn.

4. Kids are womens responsibility - Feeding a kid, putting him/her to sleep and cleaning the babies poop is not only a women's job. Parenting is a two person job and sometimes also involves help from the kids grandparents. So it's really important women are not forced into constantly taking care of an infant when they themselves need someone to take care of them because they spend 10 months of their life raising a baby within them.

I hope when we meet a women we see her more than a wife/daughter/mother and more as a person with dreams and aspirations who can have her own free time, who deserves her own trips, who deserves her own social circle and me time.

And girls next time you meet someone who questions you about these silly things prefer to either ignore them or give the answer they deserve. I usually laugh when I get questioned about these things because I don't think its worth spending energy making them understand because even if I do they pull me into long unhealthy conversations which I prefer to stay away from.

Avoid these things to get people to like talking to you💞

We meet a lot of people in our lives. Some like us while some hate us.
But we must have met someone whom we despise and would do whatever it takes to avoid talking to that person.
If we see them somewhere in public or in family functions we hide and wait for them to leave. I have had these people in my life and continue to meet such people in the present as well.

Some reasons that I find very unattractive in a conversation

1. Asking too much personal information - We randomly meet a person in some event or function and they start asking everything that is there about you. This really puts things off and we tend to view that person as nosy and annoying. I'm sure we will meet these people atleast once in our lifetime.

2. Advising people we just met - I have been there and done that. Now I cringe when I think about it. Because of social media we have an illusion that we know someone even without meeting them a single time in real life.
Eg: I have never met some of my husbands friends or my sisters friends or certain friends friend. But we follow each other on instagram. When we meet such people for the first time we sometimes get excited and act like we know them. I once tried talking about wedding to my husbands friend and adviced him to get married. This incident still haunts me because I acted like those forcible aunties in family weddings😓

3. Show offs/ Price tags - Something like Kareena kapoor's fiance from 3 Idiots movie. This is that person who often puts a slight hint of the price of items they own during a normal conversation. We sometimes do it without realising it and when I think hard I might have did it sometimes but not to put other persons possession down but to just let them know that its costly and we they have to be careful while using it.
When I think about it I feels cheap. When someone else did the same thing to me I realised how awkward the conversation can become and how the other person might feel. So never ever talk in terms of money.
You can talk about it only when the person your talking to is genuinely interested in the price of the item. Otherwise keep your mouth shut.

4. Giving skin care/ hair care advise unnecessarily - I have faced this and even my sister has faced this when we were in school during our teen years. Pimple is a common thing but people made sure to make us feel insecure about it. We have access to all the resources and can get ourselves a doctor to fix it but people make it a point to spit it out whenever they used to meet us. We never know the underlying situation why this happened to a specific person. It faded away for me with home remedies but my sis needed a dermatologist to get it treated. I still get pimples while I travel or when weather changes but it goes away eventually.

5. Body shaming - I did this to my sister and used to tell her its for fun but little did I realize how much that hurt her. One day she came to me and said "I feel less confident because of you". I realized my mistake. Still sometimes I forget it but I decided not to say anything mean to her even as a fun fact.

6. Making other person feel cheap - Sometimes we get soo obsessed with what materials we possess we start making the other person feel cheap saying that he/she has a cheap phone or laptop or sunglass or slippers.
It is not right to boast about what you own and make other person feel bad. This is happening not just by a person but the entire social media influencer community these days. The unboxing videos make us feel we are left out and we need to buy that to feel good. Try and avoid the videos that make you feel you don't have enough.
Eg: I got my sister a tablet to take notes and read her ebooks. She was soo happy with it until she saw these aesthetic videos of iPad unboxing. I dint get her an iPad because she has android phone and it would we easier to transfer files for her using android tablet. 
After explain her about this she was okay with the tablet. But still the iPad spark is within her.

7. Praising your family members too much - Never praise your family members too much before other people because this is not very attractive. People often think your trying to show off and make them feel less about themselves. I have had relatives who praise their husbands and show off their kids achievements and beyond a point it becomes cringy and show off. 

8. Talking ill about your family or others too much - This makes the opposite person create a persona of your family member as a bad person even without meeting them. We have fights with our parents on random things. And we also resolve it. But the person whom we share too much to might not erase that initial image of our family member. So be careful before you speak out.

9. Sharing your health condition - Don't share a list of health problems you have with the person you just met or someone who is not very close to you. It makes the conversation uncomfortable. I have met people who just start off by saying they have knee pain and this and that and go on to talk about the various diseases each member of their family has.
People run away from these type of conversations. Nobody wants to talk about diseases and bad health. This mostly happens to doctors when they visit people outside their hospital. Their relatives do it to get some free advice maybe.
Nevertheless, don't share about your ill health randomly. 

Conclusion:

Sometimes we don't know what we talk might offend others. It's also not possible to make people happy all the time. 

Without our knowledge we speak stuff that we don't mean to people we care about and we must try to avoid that. So make sure to talk to people and understand what kind of communicator you are. Ask your sibling or partner or parents about your personality and understand about yourself.
Make sure to avoid the points above to become a more likeable person so that people don't hide away from you and start running to you💖

A post for my 2nd Anniversary 👫 💓

 It's been 2 years and there is a lot to share but I'll try to keep it simple. Meanwhile I hope you can take away some good things from here.

WEDDING STORY:

I had an arranged marriage as many of you know. The first time I met him I did not overthink it. He just looked calm and quiet (maybe shy or awkward). It was my first time that a prospective groom came to our house. I had nothing in my head. It was around April 2021. My sister said ‘he didn't look at you straight and maybe he isn't interested in the wedding’. I felt the same because when our families discussed future aspirations he said he wanted to do MBA and was waiting for results from IIM Lucknow. At that time I felt that if he converts IIM Lucknow, how will I go and live there for the next 2 years? I din't want to resign from my job. So we just waited for his results and he got rejected from IIML. It was sad but this is what led to our wedding 😂. 

FIGHTS:

Our fights were crazy back in the day. It was new for both of us and we knew very little of how each other's thought processes worked. He took me on a surprise visit to ITC chennai and I freaked out looking at the room rents there and had a fight with him in the reception. I told him to cancel immediately.
Poor guy didn't explain anything and just walked to the exit. Then I said sorry after which he explained that an offer was going on and iif we book a room that day 50% of the money value will be credited as points in the card and we can use it to avail services in the hotel. He planned that as a staycation for us. I felt bad.
He is the kind of person who doesn’t think he needs to explain himself to someone. It can be good but can also backfire in situations like these. He has also evolved from this behavior.
SURPRISES CAN SCREW SOMETIMES 😂

One more crazy fight was when we returned from a trip at 4:00 am in the morning. I'm very particular about hygiene and asked him to wash his legs before climbing on the bed. He was dead tired and he grew angry and went to wash his legs.

This is the fun part.
On the way there was a small plastic stool which he kicked and went inside the bathroom. Tears started rolling on my cheeks and I was crying on the bed.
He came back after 20 mins from the bathroom and begged sorry 😁. I was sad but eventually forgave him. I still say this incident when he tries acting smart. Just to remind him for fun.

UNDERSTANDING PERSONALITIES PHASE:

I got to this phase only after I started living with him in bangalore. Back in his home town I felt more like a person who gets the chores done because I had to do them. It wasn't the same for him because it's his home. We used to have arguments on doing the laundry and keeping the room tidy. Cleaning the room was not something he liked doing. He cleans his stuff occasionally but it wasn’t perfect enough for me. His dad used to do the laundry and I didn’t want to trouble him. But from my husband's perspective it was how things have been going on in his life.
I realized I'm a laid back person in my house because my dad did the laundry and the maid cleaned the house and my mom made food for me. Putting things in its place was something I did but everything changed in his hometown.

I had this realization only after moving to bangalore. I suddenly felt my husband became more of a person I wished him to be. Like getting the chores done. Then I sat back and thought it was because we only had each other here and we had to do it anyway. He became even more organized after he moved to his hostel room(Maybe he picked up some organization habits from me 😬) . 

IDENTIFYING TRIGGERS:
I also understood an important thing about our personalities. I'm a more active person in the evenings moving towards the night and he is the straight opposite as he is super active in the mornings and gets his chores done. This is super important to understand as it is the root cause of many crazy problems in life.
I like to leave the kitchen clean and wake up to a beautiful dry kitchen in the mornings.
He likes to put on some kuthu songs and vibe around 8-9 am.
I like waking up without any music in a calm environment.
He is hyperactive and can clean the dishes in the mornings.
I need a coffee in the mornings and I am a bit grumpy till 11 am.
I need 8-9 hours of sleep.
My husband can wake up between 7:00-8:00 am no matter what time he sleeps in. 

These things have caused a few minor arguments because we din’t know about each other well. I ask him to do the dishes before going to sleep but he goes to sleep and I used to do it and get frustrated at night. But after understanding him I just let the dishes be and went to sleep. He finished them up before I woke up in the morning. 

There’s a million other small things we need to work on in a relationship in order to keep it simple and happy.

Before knowing all this I used to have a lot on my plate to do and get annoyed but now life feels soo easy and breathable and relaxing. It feels good.
Once you get to know their personality TRUST builds up and no matter what anybody says about them you know if it's possible for your partner to do it or not.

PERSONAL GROWTH:

I wanted to be successful before getting married. But the time we got married we weren’t super successful. He was also a bit unhappy or not satisfied with the job and the same was there for me as well. He decided to give CAT one last try. I was applying for job interviews.
My organization back then was in coimbatore and didn't know what to do when WFH ends. He got interview calls from a few IIMs and I also eventually cracked an interview.
I was happy because no matter which IIM he gets in for the next 2 years I can travel and work from there as well because Accenture offices are there in most of the IIM locations.

He eventually cracked IIM Bangalore and we were jumping in joy. There was no limit to this new found happiness. 

LIFE AFTER HIS MBA:
I saw a new person in my husband after he joined MBA. He became more confident and happier. I'm learning a crazy amount of things here. I used to have very small career dreams but seeing the way people live here makes me feel like sky's the limit and you can achieve everything you set your mind to. I met a lot of new people from different backgrounds in his college. It's mind blowing as to how much you can learn from other people's way of living.
Seeing all this made me realize doing household chores is a very tiny part of life and there are a lot of important things to do in life rather than having silly arguments on silly things.

I learnt a lot from my husband because he is a very carefree person who focuses only on important things. I used to overthink conversations I had with my family or relatives or people that hurt me and after being with him I realized these are silly unnecessary things. I just shut the door to over analyzing conversations and it's crazy how peaceful I feel in life.

I also started reading books which I didn’t enjoy a lot earlier. I decided to stop being afraid of anything in life. I always used to think maybe I'm not good enough. I realized I feel this way because I stopped studying and started forgetting things I already learnt.
It's either you moving forward or backwards and there is no staying the same. This quote made me realize if you stop using your brain and keep doing monotonous things in life you will forget all the rich knowledge you gained in your school and college. Brain is a muscle that needs work to build on.

THINGS I CHERISH IN THIS RELATIONSHIP:

Spontaneous plans - I don't have to over plan anything. I can simply ask him to watch a movie with me at home or go on a midnight dinner to Rameshwaram cafe or a night show or a trip and he would do it in the blink of an eye.

Fitness trainer - We make each other go to the gym when we don't feel like doing it. He also makes me choose healthier choices in food.

Listener - Sometimes I complain about my career choices and cry to him. He would listen to it and calm me down.

Lifestyle - He never judged me when I used to overspend on my clothes. I eventually learnt about consumerism and realized how crazy I was. 

Being involved - He makes me feel included in no matter what he does in life. I know his UG college friends and his MBA college friends and it's actually fun to hangout with everyone he knows. I used to be very lonely when I moved here because I had no friends in the office nor my college mates. But he made sure I had fun here.

Career coach - He pushes me forward to apply for that job or give that exam even if I feel I'm not good enough for it. He applies to interviews on my behalf because I stopped for a while after being dejected that I didn’t receive any interview calls.

Love feels like a small word to explain this relationship. I can put in a lot of adjectives and make this cringe but I don't prefer to do it. He is like a cozy comfortable and warm space which I can have all to myself. I wish I'm the same partner for him as he is for me ♥️.
A Very Happy Anniversary Ameer. Hope to learn and grow with you till the end of my life 🥰 

Takeaway:

In case anyone is having fights in a relationship be sure to remember that it will pass. I always remind myself of this and it has helped me not to stay angry for more than an hour. Main reason for fights is we don’t understand our partner's personality.
Adjusting is an important part when partners stay together. I’m damn sure if I ask him to do the dishes or arrange something post 9 pm he would never do it. We can easily fight over it.
He knows very well that if he doesn't wash his feet before stepping on the bed I wouldn't like it. So we just adjust to these things. He washes his feet and I don't ask him to do any chores post evening and let him do it the next morning. If it's very urgent I will do it right way. This has reduced a significant amount of fights between us.
We still do fight over sometimes but it's mostly a few mins and resolve it eventually. 

Thank you for reading this long post. Let me know how it was  😁

 

 

Importance of having your own space

This is a taboo topic in India.

I stayed with my parents till 12th grade. Then I moved to college for the next 4 years.

Even while I was in college I wasn't practically alone because I had room mates and the same thing happened after I joined work as I stayed in working women's hostel. Then covid happened and I got married during covid and moved to his parents place.

Our own space there was our room. Then 10 months later we shifted to Bangalore for study and work reasons and it was the first time in my life that I got an entire space to myself. My husband got his own space inside his college (A single room).

While I stayed with my parents my job was to just take care of myself, eat and study. When I moved to hostel I had to tackle my laundry as well. Same happened in working women's hostel but extra responsibility was to pay my rent, tackle my finances and travel.
Cooking became an extra part of our schedules wherein we make dishes occasionally.

Each and every step of this living alone process thought me a lot. Now that Im in Bangalore Im practically incharge of everything from rent to bills to food to organising. At first I took it slow with minimal to no cooking then slowly incorporated it in the schedule. I dint know how to buy groceries so used instamart on Swiggy for 6 months.
My husband got his own room and I was shocked to see him clean it and organise it in his own fashion. He also did his own laundry which he used to delegate to his dad when we lived in his hometown.

REALIZATION
It is very important for everyone to have their own space. Im saying this because when I entered my mom’s kitchen she used to give me a lot of instructions on what is where and what Im not supposed to touch because it is her space.
Samething happened with his grandma’s kitchen. She organises the kitchen in a way that’s easy for her and because she is shorter she keeps everything in the lower levels of the cabinet. She also hates glass jars because it's tough for her to handle.
After I tried organising her kitchen I realised these things.
Now the kitchen we have in our Bangalore has a lot of glass canisters mostly stacked on top of each other and it's in higher levels of the cabinet.
Similarly, Me and my husband have issues in finding out spices so I decided to label them up.
When my mom visited she found my labelling funny but that is practical for us.

We also found it difficult to open and close spice containers so I shifted a small amount to a spice box and labelled them up. I never would have learnt all these things if I dint have a separate kitchen space.

These things are only limited to kitchen but also applies to all aspects of life. I need my own space during the evenings because I have quite a few office meetings and demos occasionally which requires a dedicated environment. But when we visit our parents place its quite noisy because they watch television at that exact time because that their space and chilling hour.

My sister had a lot of fun at my place and she made green tea for herself because I have a green tea space in my house (Nothing fancy. Just a kettle and few tea bags in a basket). My sister said if she had this kind of space with kettle and tea bags she would drink it everyday and make it herself without troubling mom.

I realised that my husband started taking care of his things and arranging them once he got his own space.

Best of all is my new found love for minimalism and slow living which I realised after the trouble I faced handling all the stuff. I bought only 20 pieces of clothing to bangalore and realised how little I need. This was the start after which I started watching content about the true cost of fashion, fast fashion, slow living, minimalism and consumerism. I also made my parents and his parents aware of these things and my mom started decluttering her home.

CONCLUSION
No matter where we live it is very important to have our own spaces to tackle and do things on our own. This reduces the burden of parents or partner and gives you a lot of free time.
Sometimes its not possible to live alone especially if you have old parents and grandparents to take care of.
But here’s the live example of my parents and how they created their own space.
My dads father lives with us in the first floor of our house having his own space (hall, kitchen, bed room) while we live downstairs. He makes his tea in his kitchen and has his own tv space.
When we are at home we often wear casual clothes (lungi, nighty and night wear) which we might feel in appropriate wearing in-front of elders and this own space gives us the freedom to do so while we are also there for them.

Hence start creating you own space to try out things which won't do otherwise.

How to sell items you no longer need?

Hey guys it been a while since my last update on the blog. I recently did something to handle all the extra items I own. I know the major problem we face while decluttering is not knowing what to do with the items we own after we remove them from our cupboards and shelves. Some are old which we happily throwaway. Incase some are usable we donate them mostly to our house help. But what about the things that are in really good condition and expensive and we cant donate them or give them away as such. That is when selling them comes in our mind.
We sold our old television to our maid which both useful to her plus we dint loose any money. But the what about certain good tech gadgets that we dont enjoy using or the function wear lehenga or certain good looking clothes you got on a vacation which dont fit you and you realized this after reaching home. Well I searched about this and the first suggestion I got was the famous olx. I'll talk about it later. Coming to my favorite app. It's Poshmark. This was something that I came across after watching my favorite youtube influencer who talks about minimalism Malama life. This app is recently launched in India and I think that its amazing.
Only drawback is the commission they charge on the sold items. But it's worth it because you can sell your items without worrying about anything.

How it works?
1. Click few pictures of your product.
2. Take a video of your product less than 15 secs.
3. Tap on camera icon and upload it.
4. Add few Details and the price you want to sell the item.
5. Thats it. Now wait for buyers to send you offers. You can check the remaining details in your app itself.

By this way I sold close to 18 items. Which includes all my extra bags, clothes and unused tech gadgets. Some people have also been doing online business using this platform. Incase you have something in mind you can check this out.
I wish you guys found this useful. Share and comment if you want to read more such useful blogs.

Extra story:
Coming back to the olx, I had bad experience with it. Its filled with scammers who show us that they are willing to buy anything we post without negotiating even one rupee. Then they ask our watsapp no and send qr code. If we scan that like fools and enter our pin then we lose our money. These scammers talk in a convincing way and force us to do it immediately before we change our mind.
