How to introduce words to kids:

Once kids complete learning alphabets teach them words.

1. Start with family of words like “at” words – cat,bat,sat,rat,mat etc.

2. Then go for high frequency 2or 3 letter words – of, so, in ,on, he, she etc

3. Then start consonant blends and vowels blends – ch words –chair,chest,chain,check etc., all – ball, call, fall, hall etc.

4. Keep repeating these words frequently.

5. then go for most frequently used words – good, name, mother, sister, could, what, then, those, etc.

6. then introduce antonyms and synonyms for small words. Eg- on x off, tall x short, big x small etc

7. then introduce grammer – a and an / on, under, in,in front of, behind etc / that, this,these,those

8. singular and plural

9. now they will be ready to read a sentence or frame a sentence.

Story books for Kids-starters

When kids want to read story books on their own after learning some words, then try out these kind of story books, they are very good to read on their own. When we are introducing story books to kids, it should have big picture with one or two sentences in each page. Peppers and bubbles are very good for starters. Try out some of them. They are available in all leading book stores.

Girl talk – underarms.

Under arms darkness is very common problem faced by many Indian women. Follow these tips to make underarms fair-

1. Use underarms fairness cream. Here skin is much thicker than our facial skin, so doesn’t use face fairness creams, buy especially underarm fairness creams.
2. Don’t use racer to clean underarm hair. It makes our skin much darker.
3. Better not to use hair removal creams too. Those creams may cause damage to skin over there. Best option is to go for threading.
4. Threading underarms makes skin to look much lighter.
5. Occasionally bleach your under arms.
6. Don’t use deodorants regularly; they may cause damage to your skin.
7. Don’t wear tight dresses; tight dresses may cause skin damage/darkness because of skin friction underarms.

Indian marriage culture: Part 1

In India marriage means building relationship between two families, rather than just two people likes and dislikes. In Europe, USA culture is different. They will have relationship with each other before marriage and then later on , if they feel comfortable and compatible then they will marry eventually. Here involvement of parents in selecting bride or groom would be almost zero.
In India marriage culture goes like this-

1. When girl completes her studies or one year before they start looking for alliances.
2. Girl’s parents give photos to local marriage brokers or relatives to look for good match to their daughter.
3. If a boy’s profile is liked by girls parents then they will call boy’s parents to come and see the girl in their house. Girl doesn’t need to know all these things.
4. Boy’s parents will come to see girl. They keenly watch girl’s beauty, fairness, walk, smile etc. If they are fine with those things they will talk with girl for some time and she will serve snacks to them.
5. Boy’s parents see their house and also they will ask how much dowry girl’s parents can effort for.
6. If both boy and girl likes each other then marriage broker/relative starts discussions between two families about dowry and marriage conditions.
7. Mostly in Indian Hindus families, Girl doesn’t have to work. They feel Jobs are meant for Men, not for women. So its not compulsory that girl should be a job holder. Decent education for girls is enough. Marriage age for girls is 18 and for boys it is 21 years.
8. Dowry ranges from 2 lakhs to 30 lakhs rupees. But now a days, dowry had increased as men are earning more per annum. For high salaried men girl’s parents has to give high dowries, it can go up to 1 crore rupees.
9. Now a day’s even girls are working and earning equal amount of guys pay. So girls are not interested to give much dowries to guys. But the tradition still carries. Girl’s parents are interested to give dowry. They feel its safety for their daughter.
10. Dowry will be given in different forms. Some give dowry in the form of gold. Full 5 to 10 lakhs they give in terms of gold ornaments. So that their daughter can sell this gold in her difficult situations.
11. Some give in the form of fixed assets like Flats – 15 to 30 lakhs, Plots -10 to 30 lakhs. And some amount they do fixed deposits under their daughters’ name.
12. and some amount like 5 lakhs they give to boy in cash as gift.
13. First they celebrate with engagement. Which is like they are half married persons and it ensures that girl and boy are going to get married soon.

Return gift ideas

Return gifts is a good idea, which gives big smile on kids face. Even Rs10/- return gift is enough to return home happily and to remember this birthday. Don’t try to give gifts based on their age. If kids like other age group gifts, they cry for those gifts. So be on safe side by buying same return gifts for all age group kids. Here are some ideas-
1. Medium size soft ball – 30/- to 50/-
2. Blare blades – It ranges from 10 to 50/-
3. Colorful lighting tops – may be around 50/-
4. Sketch pens set – nice one is around – 45/-
5. Good cartoons printed erasers set – around 35 to 80/-
6. Nice Pencil box – 60/-
7. Multi color lighting pen – 50/-

Colony tuitions and Activity center- Business idea

This is good business idea for home maker/house wives.
To take up tuitions we should have atleast 1 year of teaching experience in some school.So that it will be easy to know subjects, syllabus, books referred or followed by students. In our colony @ Hyderabad, they are charging 300 to 500 from 1st to 5th standard students. Some teach for higher classes and some are not, as it is bit difficult to control higher class students and need more time to teach them as they will have more syllabus and subjects.

Tuition timings should be around 2 hours. 4:30 to 6:30 for lower classes and 6:30 to 8:30 for higher classes. Even if we get around 30 students then it will give us around 12000 to 15000/- per month.

If we take two rooms for rent then we can use one for tuitions and another for aciivity center. In this we will conduct dance, music, drawing and playing classes from 4:30 to 8:30. We need to have a contract with these teachers, so that we can book them for one year and our business will not get disturbed.We should give them 50% of each student fee to them and rest to us. For these classes fees are bit higher than tution fees. For dance it would be around 600/-, for music 400/-,for drawing 600/-, for playing-500/-. We will conduct only 2 days a week. Each group if we consider 5 members for each activity then it would be around-20 students in one batch and including two other batches it will come around 60 students. If we take average fee then Montly we get 60x500=30,000 – 15000=15,000/-.

Tutions+activities class = 15000 +15000=30,000

Reduce your rental fee =30,000 -12,000/-(6000/- for each room)

Our income would be around 18,000/-

After two months definetly strength of the students increases as all activities at one place is not available any where. Then our profit will get doubled.

Ie is 48,000/- will be our saving per month after 3 months of starting business.

We need to maintain qualified and quality teachers. So that we will get good name and response from students. Once we develop brand name, we can open branches at different colonies.

cost cutting methods for small scale business

Cost cutting should be done based on our companies requirements and future plans.

1. check in which area/ dept you don’t see growth in future / least important to your business. Try to dissolve that dept.

2. check for redundant employees in the company. We doesn’t need to take up the cost of redundant employees.

3. If we are in the process of cost cutting, do it immediately. If we take time to do it, it will become much more burden to us.

4. If we are in the plan of removing a team/dept, think whether their skill set suites to other projects(if required). So that indirectly it reduces the cost of recruiting new employees.

5. Main burden for small scale business is office rent. If you think that this much big office is not required for next 2 yrs. Then move to smaller one in the same building/ nearest to the current one, so that employees don’t suffer.

6. If you can make your office into two divisions then go for it and give 30% of your office space for lease.

7. If you have parking space, give it for rent.If it’s a rental one decrease parking size.

8. check whether systems, lights,fans, A.Cs are switched off when not used.

9. Some time situations occur to do this. don’t need to have revenues but should get profits.

10. We need to look for diversification of our company.

11. Don’t depend on single project (feelings like “this project is my brain child, I doesn’t want to take up any other projects”. should be avoided). Try to look into all profitable projects.

Once cost cutting is done, explain to employees why these things have done, growth of the company and future plans and projects of the company including profits of the company. This gives confident to employees that they are safe and company is in good condition.

After implementing cost cutting methods, try to introduce some less cost benefits to existing employees so that they won’t feel bad about our company.

These things should not be done in cost cutting-

1. Should not cut current benefits we are giving to employees. This effects all the employees instead we can dissolve unwanted employees.

2. Don’t compromise on basic needs like office cleanliness, purified drinking water, electricity etc.

3. Don’t sell out unused systems and furniture. These are most wanted and one time investments.

4. Don’t touch key employees and don’t make them involve in cost cutting as it may hurt them and may try for other opportunities. Inform just an hour or day before and tell them that they need not worry about this process and it will not affect them.

Tough questions to answer

Yesterday my daughter got one doubt.

Kid: Mom Aliens come from sky na
Me: Yes. They come from sky. From where you got this Aliens topic?
Kid: Pchhh…huu…First answer to me.
Me: Okay
Kid: In sky, God stays na, then how come Aliens?
Me: I got shocked and smiled.
Kid: Tell mom.
Me: Mmmm….They both stay in same apartment in sky.
Kid: Oh….

Then I changed the topic. First of all I don’t have much idea about aliens.how can I answer her. So urgently I need to watch some english space/alien movies. ;)

Grow plants

I have seen so many rose and hibiscus plants in nurseries these days, summer has gone and I guess its right time to soil some nice rose plants and herbs. I don’t have patience for all these things as iam bit lazy person to be frank. But I love to see all plants at a single place and I enjoy different colours of roses. In my next life I want to born like a little yellow rose with light pink shade at petals end.

Hoardings business idea

Hoarding business works something like this.

To set up Hoardings we need to have municipality permission. We need to give our hoardings place and size to them. Once we get license we can keep ads on our hoardings. Otherwise we can buy hoardings at different locations. Minimum I guess one hoarding would be around Rs.40,000/- and it ranges to some lakhs based on the area and size. Once we buy and get license to keep hoardings, we need to work on getting ads. We need to have marketing people to get ads for our hoardings. Customers give us images of their ads. We will prepare posters according to their requirements and will fix to hoardings. customers will pay us montly rent for having their ads in our hoardings. Rent amount would be based on the hoarding area and size. Some people take contract for months to put their ad. Some pays on monthly basis.

In this business we need to takecare of marketing guys to bring ads, should be incontact with posters printers and need to maintain hoarding(screws tightening, rust free etc). in rainy and windy season maintainance cost would be bit more as trees would fall and damage our hoardings.

ICSE or CBSE- which is good for kids

I have seen some articles on this subject.here is my point of view-
ICSE- ICSE is a old board, organized by a private body, i mean its not related to govt. ICSE syllabus is good beacuse it gives indepth knowledge on the subjects. students never get direct questions in exams, they should know the concept and write the exams. In ICSE , English language standards are very high. I guess, they have paper 1 and paper 2 in English. Even Maths they have two papers. Many people think that ICSE and CBSE has less standards of maths than state board syllabus. But I don’t see much difference. In Science ICSE students read physics, chemistry and biology separately and need to pass in each paper. That means they will get good amount of knowledge in each topic.Where as in SSC I guess we had only one subject called science. Similarly they have to write three separate papers under social – history and Civics, economics and geography. And have other subjects like hindi, computer science, environmental science ect.When iam in 10th I guess I wrote 6 papers. But ICSE students have to give around 11 papers. we need to get pass marks in each paper. That’s why it is called tough syllabus.

CBSE- CBSE syllabus is managed by central board. Even this has good syllabus. All the topics in ICSE are covered in CBSE but with less details. As govt introduced new methods in evaluating the student, It became more easy to study and give exams. This year many students got CCE-10/10. The CCE( continuous and cumulative evaluation) takes into account both the scholastic and non-scholastic aspects and students are given grades instead of marks. This syllabus is bit less conceptual than ICSE and better than SSC syllabus. IIT and medicine entrance exams papers follow CBSE syllabus books. ICSE becomes more burden to students from 6th class onwards. So CBSE syllabus for kids would be best option. Less stress and good grades.

My Plan is like, kids should go for ICSE till 5th standard. After that we will come to know whether they can cope up with syllabus or not , based on that we can shift them either to CBSE or SSC based on their future plans and skill set required.

VBAC - Can have normal delivery after C-section

VBAC- Vaginal birth after C-section.

Normally if everything is good then we can go for normal delivery. check these points-

1. Gap between c-section and next delivery should be minimum 18 months.

2. if first time c-section has done because of baby 's health issue and not yours then chances of having normal delivery this time would be more.

3. if your health condition is good with out any problems and infections then chances are more

4. Need to discuss with doc about VBAC well ahead. we don't know whats going to happen at the time of delivery so better to prepare for emergency c-section, which may be bit risky than planned c-section.

5.You should be prepared for pregnancy pains.Pains intensity differ from each person. Some will have a kind of easy delivery with cut (episiotomy). but i have seen girls who faced 12-15 hours pains.

6.Risk of VBAC is uterine rupture. if our last delivery doc has not stiched uterine firmly/not healed yet then there is chance of uterine rupture.

As VBAC is bit risky better to take two to three docs opinion before opting for it. I thought a lot before going for VBAC and felt tensed, but it was not risky as i thought. So I suggest to go for VBAC than going for planned c-section.

Girl talk - Hair

Long silky hair look good on almost every girl. But how to get such hair, I have curvy hair and I love to have silky hair, I did some research and found out these points-

3. once in a week do luke warm olive oil massage to your hair
4. apply protein hair cream 2 to 3 times in a week.
5. while washing and combing your hair do slowly and carefully so that they won’t break unnecessarly.
These points look simple but difficult to follow. lets try and see.

My daughter's Query

My elder daughter is very naughty and smarter as her father. She shows us her logical side too. Yesterday I scolded her for something, normally I don’t scold her instead I pamper her a lot. I just told her to read for sometime. That’s it. She got angry and told – why you always scold me only- why don’t you scold Dad? I told her that he is a smart guy and I doesn’t need to tell him to study and he is our head of the family. She said -Why always he is Head of the Family? Can’t I be head of the family? That’s her question. I laughed for 5 mins. To escape from studies and scoldings, she want to become head of the family. I wonder how I can handle this girl in her growing years.

My fantasy holiday

I love to go on holiday atleast one in my life on my own. I mean with out anybody its only me and myself kind of holiday. Nobody should be there except me in that land. I don’t think its possible.so I treat this as fantasy. I would like to ride horse and play golf at country side. And at beach side, would love to build sand castles, eating fresh sea food. Doing road side shopping. I want to buy anything which costs just 10/-. Its sounds funny, but its my fantasy land na. ok. For today I think it is enough. My husband can’t dream of any holidays with out me, but iam. there is chance that he will get angry. So iam stopping it here.

Magazines door delivery business idea

Hope you might have come across this busniess.
How it works:
Monthly we rotate magazines of our choice or customer choice to each flat in the apartment with minimum deposit of 100/- and montly charges of 150/-.

Each member can hold the magazine for around one week and they can take two magazines at a time. As telugu magazines and novel are of less cost I kept less deposit and charges. If you would like to keep English and hindi, you can increase your changers and deposit based on your locality and customers.

We will rotate these magazines on weekly basis in different apartments in different areas in a city.

The same method can be extend to toys for kids. Business plan would be same as my toys library, but here we don’t need to rent a room/apart and no maintenance fuss. We rotate toys in each apartment. As toys are costlier than books we charge more monthly and admission fee than magazines.

cows cattle farm- business idea / plan

Agriculture farm

Investment:

One time investment:
Cows:10 4,50,000 (45000 each cow x 10)
Buffalos :5 2,00,000
Grass area for lease : 5000 per yr for 3 acres
Water supply: 30,000 – boring + pipe lines
Milk machine: 10,000
Tractor : 1,00,000
Electric line +shed cost: 10,000
Msc(milk cans, buckets, etc) 5000

8,00,000/-

Montly cost:
Extra eating material for cows: 2000 - Thavudu etc
Employees Working at shed: 6000 – (3 x 2000 each +yearly min profits share)
Electricity bill (bore water+lights) 1000
Cows insurance cost: 1500 -(15 x 100/- per month)
Petrol : 1000
Msc: 1000

13,000
Monthly income:
Each cow gives 15 l average : 3375/--(15l x 15 =225 x 15 /- = 3375 /-)per day

101250 - (3375 x 30 =101250) per month
101250 – 20,000(monthly expenses) = 80,000/- per month

Break even month:

10th month would be our break even month – 80,000 x10 = 8,00,000 /-

Cows takes 9 months to deliver and get eligible for giving birth after 24 months of its age. So after 1 yr we can expect atleast 2 calves (baby cows). But they don’t give milk for 2 yrs.

Cows starts giving milk only after given birth to atleast one calf. So we need to buy cows which give milk(means which has given birth to atleast one baby).

Cows will not produce milk when they are pregnant.

So, if calves are there, we need to feed them for 2 yrs (need to investment here)
If cows are pregnant. Income will decrease as they don’t give milk for 9 months.
After 1 year:

Think that per month we are getting 80,000/- for whole year – 80,000 x 12 = 9,60,000.

Think that we got two calves – 2 ( 2 cows didn’t given milk for 9 months) – 9,60,000 – 1,21,500(15 l x 2 cows = 30 l per day = 30 x 15/- = 450/- per day=450 x30 = 13500 x 9 months= 121500) =8,40,000
Think that two are currently pregnant – they don’t give milk for next 9 months = 8,40,000 – 1,21,500 =7,20,000/-

S0, in first yr we get only 7,00,000 /-.

In 3rd and 4th yrs:
These 4 calves start giving milk, so we can expect 10,00,000/- per annum as income, even though we follow above structure of having 2 calfs and 2 pergnant cows.

Share holder’s share:

Lets think we are giving share to only two persons who are really working hard at farm.

1st yr:
1. name of the person - 15% x 7,00,000=1,00,000 – there will be no profits in first yr , but we need to give.
2. name of the person- 15% x 7,00,000= 1,00,000.

So, we get only 5,00,000/- in first year.

As first yr is not a profit yr for us. We can decrease first yr share percentage to only 9%. Or we can fix the amount in first yr as 50,000/- each.


2nd yr:

1. name of the person - 15% x 7,00,000=1,00,000 – there will be no profits in first yr , but we need to give.
2. name of the person- 15% x 7,00,000= 1,00,000.

Still we get only 5,00,000/- - this yr we are into profit of 2,00,000.

3rd yr:

In 3rd year, we have choice like, we can either increase our cows or sell if we can’t manage more than 15. if we sell two cows we get around 1,00,000/- more. If we buy two more cows, thru’ milk we get 1,00,000/- profit.
If the plan is to put 50 or 100 cows in second yr:

Think that we need one person for 10 cows (as we use milk machines).
we need minimum 5 persons, who need to concentrate fully on this work. We need to pay share percentage for 2 persons and better to give partnership to one person as we need somebody to feel that it is his business and 2 on monthly wage.

Income we get on 50 cows per yr –
50x15l = 750l x 15/- = 11250 x30 =3,37,500 per month.
Per annum: 3,37,500 x 12 = 40,50,000

Think that we will not get milk from 5 cows.
5x 15l= 75l x 15/- =1125 x 30 = 33750 per month.
Per annum: 33750 x 12 = 4,05,000
So, 40,50,000-4,05,000=36,45,000 per annum

Out of which we need to pay to insurance, think 1 lac then-35,45,000.

In this amount we need to give 15% share to 2 people. Then I will come to
35,45,000 – 11,00,000(5.3 lakhs each) = 24,81,000.

Deduct your maintenance cost and tax =7,00,000 . thus it will become 17,81,500/-
This will be our net approximately = 18,00,000

Buying cost of 50 cows= 50 x 45,000 = 22,50,000. you will get your investment only when you successfully complete 2 yrs.

Think that we were able to run only for 5 yrs:

18,00,000 x 5 = 90,00,000 + 24,75,000 (55x 45,000 - sale of 55 cows) = 1,14,75,000

Out of which deduct if you have taken loan and interest = think we have taken 10 lacs loan and it has become 12 lacs with interest and think 50% partnership you have given others. Then you will get –
1,14,75,000 – 12,00,000 = 1,02,75,000 x 50/100 = 51,37,500 /-

After 5 yrs 50 lakhs is the amount you get after investing 5,00,000 in this business.

Drawbacks:
1. labour- if labour is not turning up then its very difficult to clean, feed,taking milk and selling it to heritage guys.
2. management – trust worthy person should be there to manage your daily accounts
3. Jersey cows are very sensitive to climates, so we should take care of them very well like our babies.

Very profitable business:
Reasons: We do insurance for cows, so we will not be in any loss even if we loose cows.
When we doesn’t want to run the farm, then we will get back our invested amount by selling our cows, so no loss. From first day onwards we get money through milk, in which business we get returns from first day itself. Land lease,cost kept on building sheds, bore for water, rooms to store feed may be extra cost for us.
