Gifts for the Groom

-
 Continuing with my Wedding series given the fact that I have been attending weddings non stop this November. After the trousseau for grooms, I come to the next very important part: gifts for the groom. A lot of guys think that grooms don't need to be gifted. I too fell under the same category before I got hitched. We used to think that if its our female batch mate's wedding, we need to gift her but the opposite if its one of our brothers. This mindset changed after I tied the knot.


When you are getting married, there are so many things on your mind. One of the primary things is that you are under a constant pressure to impress your wife. You want her to accept your family, your friends and your world. Its a lot easier when she feels that your friends care for you. Care for girls is expressed in the form of gifts. So if you present a nice, thoughtful gift, you are in her good books already!

I like cash for gifting as well as for myself. But the problem is that you don't attach sentiments to it. A gift is always special. And given the sudden cash crunch we are facing, there is no point of gifting or thinking about that envelope. Here I round up few of my favourite gifts for the groom which our brothers will like.
So a bow tie. This may not be versatile like a neck tie but a bow tie is a classic. Reserve it for those classic occasions. A special date with your new wife. This blue piece is for keeps. Find this here.
 
Who said only women love beauty products? Believe me, my wife is a skin doctor and she gets maximum men with skin woes! Men love pampering though they may be a bit shy to admit that. So these kind of grooming products make the perfect gift. Especially when the guy wants to impress his new wife. Find this here.
 
 
So everyone has a laptop. To carry it, everyone has its bag too. Then what is this doing in this gift list? Well there has to be a difference between everyday and special day. I mean you carry your lappy to work everyday in its designated bag. The bag has been worn down due to daily use. So this beauty is for that special meeting or that special date with your new wife after office! Find this here.
 
A tie is a classic. I am fond of ties and so are maximum guys. I feel that what scarves are for women ties are for us. A man can never have enough ties. And when its a grey and black like this one, its a classic. To pair this perfectly, give the groom a a couple of matching cuff links. He would be thrilled. Find this here.

What looks more dapper on a man than a suit? Nothing! A black suit is classic and a wardrobe must have. Find this here.

Effect of COVID 19 on edible oil industry and Palm oil

  The Corona pandemic has caused a havoc on the global economy. Some countries have been more affected than others. I however would like to focus on the effect of the pandemic on the edible oil industry and Malaysian Palm oil especially. Last week I attended a webinar hosted by the  Malaysian Palm Oil Council with Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of India/Sri Lanka as the speaker and what she said about the palm oil industry right now is really food for thought. How has COVID 19 affected the edible oil industry?  The pandemic caused shutting down of restaurants and catering businesses and hence a drastic reduction in the  import of edible oils. People have reduced eating outside to a very large extent and also takeaway orders have declined. This situation was particularly grave during the lockdown period. The production of cooking oil comes under Essential goods services but the production of containers isn't. Labours migrated back to their villages from the ci...

Celebs who I love following on TikTok

The world almost stood still the past two months. While everyone stayed at homes and worked from within, my job didn't permit so. Yes I am a frontline worker (a medical professional) who had to go to the hospital during the entire lockdown time. I was double stressed: Catching the infection myself as well as silently passing on to my two little kids or my elderly parents. I have been seeing and hearing people cursing this quarantined life but they don't understand it's a privilege to be able to stay within the safe confines of home and work and earn. The only respite in this period has been TikTok. Yes, I am now a total TikTok convert.  If there's anything that got a boost during this Corona pandemic, it has to be TikTok. This app has seen billions of downloads and users in the past couple of months. And why not? It's like a breath of fresh air. After I come back from the hospital and undergo a rigorous sanitation regime to ward off any kind ...

SCHIPHOL AIRPORT TO AMSTERDAM How to reach to the city center from Airport is always a big question while travelling. By far car/taxi is the easiest and most convenient form. But it’s costly, if you are travelling solo or as a couple. There is no harm to save few bugs but yes, comfort is always a priority. Public transport in Amsterdam is very convenient, fast and comfortable.   Shciphol is world’s 14 th largest airport situated 22 Km south of Amsterdam city center. It’s well connected to the city center and nearby places by bus train and taxi. By taxi : The maximum start price of taxi car is near about 2.83 euro, with travel rate of 2.08 euro per km and travel time cost 0.34 euro per minute. So expect a cost between 45 Euros to 60 Euros from shciphol airport to the city center, depending on your location. You can need taxi especially at late night, when the trams stop functioning. The taxi stand is located just outside of airport arrival...
