Lithium batteries age fastest at the two extremes. Keeping a phone roughly between 20 and 80 percent noticeably extends how many years it holds a useful charge. Full charges before travel are fine — it is the daily habit that matters.
Naam ke saath 'plumber', 'Rohit ka bhai' ya 'gaadi wala' likh do. Chhe mahine baad naam se koi pehchan nahi aati.
A folded cloth bag hanging on the door handle gets used. The same bag in a cupboard does not. That is the whole difference between owning cloth bags and actually using them.
Thermal paper ka bill saal bhar mein mit jaata hai — aur aksar tab jab warranty claim karni ho. Kharidte hi photo kheench lo.
RozmarraIf you are suddenly out of matchbox in your room, you can make a fire with 1. Battery 2. Gum Wrapper/thin foil You can connect the positive and negative ends of battery with the help of foil/wrapper and bmmmmmm !! there you go, you will see the fire !!

महीने की पहली तारीख को फोटो और ज़रूरी कागज़ का बैकअप लो। फोन गिरने या चोरी होने का दिन वो दिन नहीं है जब आप यह शुरू करना चाहेंगे।
Bill ek jagah, dawa ek jagah, kaagaz ek jagah. Ghar mein cheez isliye nahi milti kyunki uski koi jagah hi tay nahi hai.
जब दवा हफ्ते भर की बचे, उसी दिन फोन में रिमाइंडर लगा दो। खत्म होने के दिन दौड़ने की नौबत नहीं आती।
चश्मे पर एक बूँद साबुन और गुनगुना पानी, फिर सूती कपड़े से सुखाओ। कमीज़ के कोने से पोंछना ही उसे खुरचता है।
Phone baayein, chaabi daayein, purse peeche. Sunne mein mamooli lagta hai, par roz ka dhoondhna lagbhag khatam ho jaata hai — haath dimaag se pehle wahin jaata hai.
कपड़े का थैला अलमारी में रखा रह जाता है, दरवाज़े के हैंडल पर टँगा हुआ हमेशा साथ जाता है। थैला रखने और इस्तेमाल करने में यही फर्क है।
दूसरा अलार्म कमरे के उस पार रखो। बंद करने के लिए उठना पड़ेगा — और यही पूरा तरीका है। सिर के पास वाले फोन से कोई नहीं उठता।
Do alag dabbe — ek subah ka, ek raat ka. Khali dabba dekh ke pata chal jaata hai ki dawa li ya nahi. Yaad rakhne ki koshish se kaafi behtar.
बैंक, अस्पताल और सरकारी दफ्तर — हर जगह फॉर्म है और किसी के पास चलता पेन नहीं। एक पेन बैग में रखो, हर बार लाइन में पूछने से बच जाओगे।
Parcel number, address, dawa ka naam — sab apne aap ko WhatsApp kar do. Search bhi ho jaata hai aur phone badalne par bhi rehta hai.
पार्किंग से निकलते वक्त खंभे के नंबर की एक फोटो ले लो। दो घंटे बाद बेसमेंट में सब कुछ एक जैसा दिखता है और भटकना खत्म।
The previous prescription is not as good as the current one, and it is infinitely better than nothing on the morning you sit on your glasses. Keep the last pair, throw the one before.
Marker on the packet the day you open it — atta, oil, masala, anything decanted into a dabba. You stop guessing whether something has been open for three weeks or seven months.
No bill, no warranty, no exchange, no argument you can win. Photograph the ones that matter — thermal paper receipts fade to blank within a year, usually just before you need them.
Phone left, keys right, wallet back. It sounds trivial and it eliminates the daily search almost entirely, because your hand goes there before your brain does.
A small stash of ten and twenty rupee notes for parking, toll and the tempo who has no change. UPI covers most of it now, but the day the network is down is the day you need this.
The cloth the tiffin is wrapped in becomes the mat you eat off at the desk. Nothing on the table, nothing to wipe, and the cloth goes back around the box.
The second alarm goes on the other side of the room. Switching it off requires standing up, which is the entire mechanism. Works far better than nine snoozes on the phone next to your head.
Every bank, hospital and government office runs on a form and none of them has a pen that works. One in the bag saves the queue-and-ask ritual every single time.
