How to Use the Power of your Subconscious Mind

Spend 10–30 minutes daily mentally rehearsing the version of yourself you want to become. This practice works best in a deeply relaxed state and can be especially powerful before sleep.

The mind responds strongly to vividly imagined experiences combined with emotion. When you repeatedly experience a desired reality internally, with enough sensory detail and emotional intensity, it gradually begins to feel familiar, natural, and attainable.

Over time, this can weaken old patterns, limiting beliefs, and automatic behaviors while strengthening new ones.

Begin by relaxing deeply. Once your body and mind feel calm, choose a specific scene that represents your desired self or future. Do not think about the goal abstractly, experience it as if it is happening right now.

For example:

If your goal is health, imagine yourself walking energetically outdoors, breathing deeply, feeling light, strong, and alive.

If your goal is confidence or success, imagine yourself speaking clearly, moving calmly, closing an important deal, leading confidently, or enjoying financial freedom.

If your goal is changing habits, imagine yourself naturally enjoying healthy routines, exercise, nutritious food, focused work, or disciplined behavior.

Always visualize in first person, through your own eyes.

• What do you see around you?
• What are you wearing?
• What is the environment like?
• What colors, textures, and movements are present?
• Is anyone with you?
• What are they saying?

Then bring attention to sound:

• Hear voices clearly
• Hear your own breath
• Hear background sounds like nature, movement, or conversation
• Make the sounds vivid and realistic

Next, focus on physical sensation:

• The feeling of energy in your body
• The warmth of sunlight
• The sensation of movement
• Your posture
• The feeling of calm confidence or vitality

Most importantly, engage emotion deeply.

Feel relief ("It's finally done.")
Feel gratitude ("Thank you.")
Feel pride in your growth and capability.
Feel naturalness ("This is simply who I am now.")
Feel calm certainty rather than desperate wishing.

Do not experience the scene as fantasy. Experience it as something real, probable, and already unfolding.

At the end of the visualization, stop trying to imagine every detail and simply sit with the feeling of the experience for a few moments, as if it were really happening. Carry that feeling throughout your day.

Repeat the same scene daily, or rotate between two or three related scenes, until they begin to feel familiar and believable.

A powerful variation is to repeat the visualization again before sleep. As you become drowsy, continue replaying the scene gently in your mind and allow yourself to fall asleep inside the feeling of that reality.

Your body loses one to two pounds of water every night just from breathing and sweating in your sleep. By morning, you're already mildly dehydrated. Any water on an empty stomach feels like relief.

Hot water on an empty stomach absorbs fast because nothing else is competing for it. Within fifteen to thirty minutes, most of it has already moved through your stomach and into the small intestine, where the actual hydration happens.

The popular reasons hot water feels so good are mostly wrong, though. Your liver and kidneys do all the detoxing in your body, and they couldn't care less what temperature your water is. And the "hot water boosts metabolism" claim is actually backwards.

A 2003 study at a Berlin hospital had healthy people drink half a liter of water and measured their calorie burn afterwards. It jumped 30% and stayed elevated for about an hour. Almost half of that calorie burn came from the body warming the water up to body temperature. If the water is already hot when it goes in, your body skips that work. You actually get a smaller calorie burn from hot water than cold. Across the day, two liters of water adds about 95 calories of extra burn either way. About a banana's worth.

What hot water does well is wake up your gut. There's a reflex in your body where, whenever your stomach stretches with food or liquid, your colon starts moving things along. This reflex is strongest in the morning. Researchers in 2019 compared three temperatures of water (ice cold, body temperature, and hot) and found the warmer two caused stronger stomach contractions than the cold one. So hot water on an empty stomach lands at exactly the time and temperature your gut responds best to. This is why people who drink it often head to the bathroom soon after.

There's also the warmth itself. A warm liquid in your throat and stomach causes the small blood vessels there to relax and widen, kind of like stepping into a hot shower on a cold day. The bloated, sluggish morning sensation starts lifting because of this relaxation effect.

So when she says "y'all weren't lying," what she's feeling is rehydration, a triggered bathroom reflex, and a warm internal hug to the gut, all hitting in the same minute. The warmth just turns up the volume on a response your gut would have anyway.

Eastleigh is not laughing with KRA.

Over the weekend, I visited my woria friend in Eastleigh. He owed me camel meat.
He told me: Okuyu, kuja nikupeleke bahali yake.

He took me to a camel meat joint. He told me to order.

I asked the waiter: mko na nini?

He said: rafiki iko ngamia tatu. Ngamia imekaangwa, ngamia blain, na ngami... Before he finished, I asked: Hiyo blain iko na nini?

He said: Imechemshwa na chumvi.

I told him, niletee ngamia choma.

Suddenly, every head turned to our table.

My woria friend quickly took charge. Ordered 3 plates. 2 Blain and 1 imekaangwa.

I have no clue how those chefs do it. But it was the sweetest and softest meat I have eaten this year.
My friend, if you have never eaten camel in isirii, I don't even know why I am talking to you.

• Lesson 1: Those chefs should be arrested. Unaweza malizia school fees ya watoto hapo.

As we stood to leave, I see the one and only Eastleigh mall. Immediately I remember what they did to KRA.

When the mall was constructed. It cost 96 million.

They also said the name Eastleigh mall is a brand. They gave it a brand value of 10% of the building cost. And called it goodwill. A whopping 9 million shillings.

Total cost = 104 million.

That is what they reported to KRA in their 2008 tax return.

They then divided this cost over 13 years. The period to fully deduct building costs from tax. 8M per year. All legal.

From 2008 to 2017, Eastleigh mall and KRA are good buddies. They even say cheers while taking coffee together.

Then one morning in 2017, KRA arrives at Times Tower and finds a letter from Eastleigh Mall.

It reads:

• Hello KRA. You see that 104M we told you. We made a mistake. It's actually 200 million. We now have a fresh valuation report. We want to amend our returns from 2008. Tutoe 104 Million bahali yake tuweke 200 Million.

KRA officer thought his spectacles had been hacked. He removed them. Saw the same numbers live.

KRA asked, what do you mean?

They responded: The amendment will help us deduct higher depreciation and lower our taxes.

KRA rejected it instantly.

It didn't end there.

KRA immediately smelled a tax evasion scheme.

They deployed spies to investigate Eastleigh mall. The spies seized their most critical documents. The most important being management accounts.

The spies returned with a very disturbing report. There were huge understatements between the actual income and what had been declared.

Angrily, KRA slapped the mall with a tax demand of 386M.

The mall protested. They wrote an objection letter to KRA showing they had paid all taxes and that management accounts were just internal projections. They sat and waited for a reply.

Clock started ticking.

At times tower, KRA is sipping chai undecided whether to accept or reject the objection.

As KRA is doing this, KRA is unaware of 1 dangerous sentence chilling quietly in the Kenyan tax laws.

It reads.

- As surely as the sun shall rise tomorrow. Any objection decision issued by KRA after 60 days shall be invalid.

But the Eastleigh accountant knew that sentence very well.

He put 60 beans in his wallet. Every morning, he removed and dropped one bean in his office tin.

Day 61 reached. His wallet is empty. KRA has not responded.

He rushed to the director. Bossi, KRA has not responded. We owe them nothing. Tumeshinda. Call the party.

Many months later, KRA sends their reply.

- Hello mall. We hope this email finds you well. We have not forgotten you. We reject your protest letter. You must pay us 400M.

The mall ran to court.

- They argued that KRA’s failure to respond within 60 days meant the objection was allowed and no tax was due.

• The tax appeal Tribunal said noo. The 60 days is just a mere technicality. Bring us more documents for review. The mall refused to supply more records.

The Tribunal sided with KRA and ordered the mall to pay KRA 386m.

KRA retreated to Times Towers telling the mall na tuliwawon.

The mall ran to the high court.

They argued again, no response within 60 days means no tax.

The good judge asked KRA: Is it true that you responded out of time.

KRA nodded like this.

The judge removed his spectacles.
Paused.

Then sided with the mall.

The mall was ordered to pay zero.

KRA was ordered to pay the mall legal fees.

Case closed.

Lesson 2.

• If KRA does not respond to your objection letter within 60 days, call the party. You have won.

• If KRA pushes, run to court and ask for legal costs. Courts will not hesitate.

[DismasWaTabu @DismasWaTabu]

Good evening patriots. Here is your evening dose of anger. You need it as we dispel this lie.

Ruto told Kenyans that Biden personally called him to build a Microsoft data centre.

And that one data centre needs 1,000 MW.

And that Kenya needs 10,000 MW to host it.

Let us address this carefully.

One.

Biden does not call African presidents to solicit data centre locations.

Microsoft has an entire global investment team for that.

They do not subcontract to the White House.

Two.

The largest data centres in the world consume between 100 to 500 MW.

Not 1,000 MW.

A standard large data centre uses between 20 to 100 MW.

The 1,000 MW figure is the most extreme theoretical proposal ever suggested.

Anywhere on earth.

For one facility.

Three.

Kenya's 3,000 MW could theoretically power between 30 to 150 standard large data centres.

Not struggle to power one.

So to summarise:

The phone call is questionable.

The energy figures are exaggerated.

The logic is creative.

This is a man who also said we are headed to Singapore yet our corruption stinks to the highest heavens.

And delivered Sh95.25 per child per term not knowing that Singapore's investment in education is not something they joke with as they know it's what drives the world.

The numbers have never been his strongest suit.

But the confidence always is.

Goodnight Kenyans and do not let anyone fool you. Be angry always!

Dismas wa Tabu. Dreaming in installments. Billed in full.

[The Mayor @themayor_ke]

When Uhuru left power, NSSF was at flat rate of KSh 200. For Ruto, it's 6% on the employer side and 6% on the employee side.

When Uhuru was leaving power, the dollar was KSh 118. Ruto took it to 160 and brought it down to 129.

When Uhuru was leaving power, petrol was going for KSh 158 with subsidy. Ruto took it to 217, brought it down to 178, and now it’s at 198 with subsidy.

When Uhuru was leaving power, the maximum NHIF contribution was KSh 1,700. For Ruto, it's 2.75% of your salary.

During Uhuru’s time, KSh 100 would give you about 6 KPLC units of tokens, but under Ruto you now get about 3 units for the same amount.

During Uhuru’s time, VAT across key sectors was 8%, but under Ruto it has gone up to 16%.

For Uhuru, affordable housing meant no deductions on your payslip, but under Ruto, you now have an additional mandatory deduction.

Despite all this, borrowing hasn’t stopped. In fact, it has picked up.

So, how has Ruto reduced the cost of living ?🤔

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

A 15-pound honey badger can survive a cobra bite that would kill a full-grown man in under two hours. Then it finishes eating the snake. A biology grad student at the University of Minnesota wanted to know how. She needed badger blood to find out, and the only samples she could get were from two American zoos in San Diego and Indiana.

What she found in the DNA was one tiny change. There's a small socket on your muscle cells that your nerves plug into to tell your muscles to move. Cobra venom kills you by jamming that socket shut, so your lungs stop working. The honey badger's socket has a swapped-out amino acid that gives it a positive electrical charge. Cobra venom is also positively charged. Like magnets pointing the wrong way, the venom gets pushed off before it can lock in, and the muscles keep firing.

The same workaround showed up separately in hedgehogs and pigs. Mongooses got there too, with a slightly different molecular trick. Four different animals with no shared ancestor all arrived at the same solution because venomous snakes kept biting them for millions of years.

That only covers snakes like cobras and mambas. Puff adders work differently, destroying tissue instead of paralyzing muscle, and the DNA trick doesn't help there. So when a puff adder lands a solid bite, the badger collapses into a kind of coma for two or three hours. Then it wakes up groggy and eats the snake anyway.

The skin is maybe the unfairest part of all this. It's about a quarter inch thick, rubbery, and so loose it fits like a wetsuit two sizes too big. A lion can clamp its jaws on a honey badger and the badger will twist halfway around inside its own skin and start clawing the lion's face while still in its mouth. Bee stingers barely get through. Porcupine quills don't either.

Which brings us back to the bees in that photo. They're annoying. A few sneak through to the face, and enough stings have killed honey badgers in the wild. Honey badgers still die. But they're running three different defense systems at the same time, and one of them is a genetic lottery ticket evolution has pulled four times.

Instead of using that 500K to buy another plot of land that will not generate any cash flows for you, why not explore other options?

500K in an infrastructure bond with a 13% yield will give you 65K per annum

500K in a special fund like Mansa X will earn you 88K in interest per annum (Mansa X has averaged 17.6% p.a over the last 5 yrs)

500K in a SACCO like Stima Sacco will earn you 60K in dividends from share capital or 47K from rebates on Savings.

500K in a dividend king like BAT will earn you 60K in dividend income per annum.

There is no age that is more terrible than 30 to 42. The terrible 30s they call them.

This age is full of urgency to do everything. You will feel like you are running out of time. It's this age your addictions really start to show. The bills are now heavier. Your parents are aging and some might need your help.

And while all this is going on you meet your friend with a new G-Wagon while you are shopping for gumboot meat in Rongai.

How do you get through them you ask? I would be lying if I said I know. You just wake up one morning and you feel okay. A good sign is when you start wearing clothes to cover your body, not to chase fashion. You buy a phone when it breaks and your idea of fun becomes a full night's sleep.

I’ve just gone through 20+ NGCDF reports today.
And I’m a bit angry

Kenya needs a better way of handling looting in NGCDF projects, and I hope the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission sees this.

Look at this;

In Mwingi, they budget over 300k for a 5,000L tank, but they buy 2,500L

In Nyakach, they budget KSh 2M for a classroom, but they then build something worth less than 1M, of poor quality, already cracking in a month, or leave it unfinished.

Then they pocket the difference.
This is how looting is happening on the ground.

And it’s harder to catch because it’s done in small bits, everywhere.

We need a system where every NGCDF project is:

– Geo-tagged
– Photographed before & after
– Cost breakdown made public
Anything less is just enabling theft. The situation is bad.

[Matriarch @_Matriach]

Yes and 10/10 recommend.
Especially before you get married.

Get home from work, buy food as you’re coming home. Get in, no noise, drop your bag, get in the shower, get in your pyjamas, turn on your tv, watch your comfort movie, eat your food that you bought.

10:30 11pm, make a hot cup of tea, sip on it while sitting on your couch, with the AC or fan on, blanket over your body, hot chocolate tea in hand, tv on.

Finish your cup of tea and sleep off on your couch, or if it’s not comfortable, go into your bedroom.

It’s your house, you can even sleep in the kitchen 😂😂

Please try it before you marry. Cause once you marry? Nothing like privacy ever again.🙂

[Anish Moonka @anishmoonka]

You’ve never touched anything in your life. Not your phone. Not your morning coffee. Not the person you love.

Every atom in your body is 99.9999999999999% empty space. If the core of an atom were the size of a marble, the nearest electron would be all the way out in the parking lot of a football stadium. Everything in between is empty.

We’ve known this since 1911. A physicist named Ernest Rutherford fired tiny particles at a sheet of gold foil expecting them all to pass right through. Most did. But about 1 in 8,000 bounced straight back at him. He said it was like firing a cannon at tissue paper and having the shell come back and hit you. That one result proved every atom is almost entirely void, with all its weight crammed into a core 100,000 times smaller than the atom itself.

So when you sit in a chair, you’re not actually sitting on it. The electrons in your body are pushing against the electrons in the chair. Same force that makes two magnets resist each other when you flip one around. You’re floating above the surface, separated by a gap about 10,000 times thinner than a sheet of paper. Every handshake is two invisible clouds of electrons pressing against each other without ever merging.

Remove all that empty space from every atom in every human on Earth, and 8 billion people compress down to a single sugar cube. It would weigh billions of tons and fall straight through the floor, through the crust, all the way to the center of the Earth. Same density as a neutron star.

But the tweet gets one thing a little wrong. Whether atoms “touch” depends on how you define touch. Philip Moriarty, a physicist at the University of Nottingham who literally pushes individual atoms around with a needle for a living, says contact does happen at the atomic level. It’s the point where the pull between atoms balances the push. And when you eat food, your body breaks those molecules apart and chemically bonds with them, atoms merging across boundaries. That’s real contact.

So what you feel when you hold someone’s hand isn’t skin on skin. It’s the same force that holds together every molecule in every star, pressing your electrons against theirs. You’ve never made contact the way your brain pictures it. What’s actually happening is stranger and honestly way cooler.

[CPA Wachira Joseph @WashiraX]

What happens when you inherit land... Then later sell it?

How does KRA tax it?

Let's go through this case. Simplified to today.

There is a guy called Dhanjal.

He inherited land from his father in 2014.

Years later, in 2022, he sold it for 178m.

He filed his capital gains tax (CGT) return as a law abiding citizen.

- But, CGT = Sales price - Cost price.

So, what cost will Dhanjal rely on here?

He went for the market price of that land in 2014.
The valuer had pegged it at 150m.

He computed & paid his taxes as:

- (178 - 150) x 15% = 4m.

KRA audited him.

It rejected his cost of 150m.

Their argument:
- You did not buy this land.
- You got it for free.
- Your cost is zero

They adjusted his tax to:

- (178m - 0) x 15% = 27 m

From 4m to 27m.

Dhanjal furiously ran to court.

He argued:

- The cost of inherited land cannot be zero.

- The law allows use of market value at the date of inheritance

The court looked at it… and agreed with him.

He won & KRA’s demand was set aside.

Lessons.

- The cost of inherited property is not zero

- Use market value at the date of inheritance

- KRA will push hard. Be firm.

[Silas Nyanchwani @nyanchwani]

Curiously, as we head into the 2027 elections, one conversation people aren’t interested in is the cost of living, man. Did y’all suddenly get rich?

I only see tea served on Facebook. I have seen some good conversations on X (Twitter), but nothing specific to the cost of living. Instagram looks like a haven of good ass, good vibes, and some light jokes. The clock app is a cesspit of madness. In the mainstream media, aside from the Standard’s sensational headlines, I haven’t seen any sensible headlines that address the cost of living.

I can’t be the only one overwhelmed by the cost of living. I am old enough to remember a time when Sh 5,000 could buy a month’s worth of supplies. It now sounds like it was a long time ago, but this was 2015. Granted, inflation is part and parcel of any capitalist society, but the last six years have seen a level of aggressive inflation that has usually been absorbed by Kenyans’ resilience and negative coping mechanisms. Kenyans now eat less, poorly balanced meals, and have to compromise so much on their quality of life; no wonder everyone is angry.

I experienced the last good years of Kibaki, and I used to push trolleys after college, buying all the junk that makes middle-class life worth living. I can’t remember the last time I pushed a trolley in a supermarket. With Sh 5,000, you can only afford 2 kilos of unga, 1 litre of cooking oil, four rolls of tissue, two Royco cubes, and you have to call someone to top you up to afford a kilo of sugar. I mean, by the time a senior bachelor cannot even afford some rubber for some business, we are living in horrible times.

Now, ahead of the 2022 general election, John Githong’o wrote in The Elephant that it was the first election in Kenya without a big idea. Like there was no agenda on the table, on both sides. The Hustler narrative was as hollow as it was empty. Raila Odinga had some good ideas, but nothing ground-breaking. That was the most critical election, but trust Kenyans to joke around and elect clowns. And for the first time, we elected comedians, scammers, p!mps, drug lords, career tendrepreneurs, mannerless mistresses, and there isn’t a single piece of legislation that the 13th parliament will be remembered for. We will remember a few eccentric people like Peter Salasya, and nothing much.

Now, 2027 is a life-or-death election. And we cannot carry our usual cavalier attitude into it.

The cost of living is a sum of so many things. When Ruto reduces the capitation for secondary school students, parents don’t complain; they take it like pros, borrow from chamas, predatory online lenders, and anywhere else, and top up the balance. When there is no money for university education, bright kids stay at home. For others, parents dig deeper and deeper to afford their kids some college education, an investment with increasingly unpredictable guarantees, made worse by the oncoming AI onslaught on formal jobs.

I don’t have to say much about SHA; you have used it, and you know whether we are better off with it or worse off.

Farmers are crying. Small businesses are crying. Employed people are crying. I don’t know any single Kenyan, apart from the few government bloggers, for whom things are working.

So bad are things that, for the first time in the last three years, I have strangers in my inbox asking for money for food. And I know they are not conmen. They are young men with no means at all. They are young women, some young mothers, trying to find something for their kids. I am always lost for words, because I am not in any way or shape better off than they are. We are on this same sinking ship.

Now.

I try to watch and listen to all presidential aspirants, and there is no one with an idea on how to help Kenyans.
Ruto will always do what Ruto does: run around launching some nonsensical projects like previous governments. Good investments on paper, but with very poor ROIs, save for the tenderpreneurs who become overnight billionaires. Must be nice working for GOK. Also, Ruto is like me, when in a club around 3 a.m., tipsy af, trying to get some: I can say anything. He will say a lot of stuff, and may fool some of you, but a second term will condemn Kenya to a grave we will never get out of, especially if you are a millennial or a Gen Z.

We MUST HALT the Uhuru-Ruto train wreck in 2027. It has achieved whatever it was supposed to: securing the duo from the jaws of ICC and making the two very rich, at the collective expense of the country.

The good people of Japan, who know a thing or two about being very rich, have a proverb: “If you get on the wrong train, get off at the nearest station. The longer it takes you to get off, the more expensive the return trip will be.”

We boarded the wrong train in 2013. We had a chance to get off in 2017, and the Supreme Court tried to send a signal, but we were too emotional. We had a chance to get off in 2022, but YOU PEOPLE!

After 2027, it is effectively over for anyone my generation and younger. You will never be able to afford to build a home. You will never be able to marry or get married. Already, folks who have graduated from college over the last decade know what is going on. I am not talking straight out of my bottom.

It is your future, your children’s future that is at stake.
And the world is about to change so dramatically that we will need a younger, intelligent leader who can navigate the complex geopolitics and changing social dynamics, build not just resilience but also tap into the strength of our young population to propel the country forward. We are entering technical and slippery terrain over the next 15 or so years.

But we do have a problem.

Which presidential candidate has a plan?

Kalonzo. I don’t know what the man stands for. Never heard him talk, address a crowd. The few scattered interviews and press conferences always leave a lot to be desired. We don’t have any grand ideas attributed to him, or even a simple plan.

I saw CJ Emeritus Maraga was interested in, but other than a few pictures with Gen Z, a TV interview that left more questions than answers, we don’t know what his plan is.

Okiya Omtatah made some noise, but also, I haven’t heard of any grand plan from him.

Edwin Sifuna looks solid, and I have a bias towards him, but he is in a tight corner to be in the conversation.

Dr. Fred Matiang’i. People mention his past record, which is debatable, but I don’t know what his plan is to address the various problems. I have read or listened to him address these issues.

I am also looking at the folks around presidential candidates on various campaign teams. In the past, more so on the Raila side, you would see top brains on his side that one would hope, given a chance, could transform the country. Jeez, there are notable experts explaining the vision of the presidential candidates to us. No economic experts, no political experts, no health experts, no education experts, no security experts, no commerce experts, no sociologists, lawyers, and many experts that can churn out a coherent campaign manifesto.

“Silas, wewe unapenda kubabaika, ni mapema, ongojea, kazi inapangwa…”

I heard about it when Trump got elected in 2016. I heard about it in 2017, when Uhuru was ‘voted’ back. I heard about it when Ruto was elected in 2022.

Hakunanga plan. Politicians are mostly using guesswork.

The opposition’s current plan is to deploy Gachagua to go out on a limb and tell us the obvious. It is practically impossible kuharibia Ruto jina. Hana jina. Period.

So, guys, we need to figure out something.

If you are a Tutam guy, I respect your choice, and I regret that I will have to live with the consequences of your poor choices. In 2030, with a collapsed economy, you will come back to tell me that “hatukujua ilikuwa serious hivyo…”

We only have one life, and we have been too miserable already to prolong it.

With just 16 months to the elections, the opposition should show us their plan; otherwise, Ruto will wash the floor with them.

You have a payslip, look at it, is there anything to smile about?

You are a single mother with a deadbeat man. Look at the cost of living, is there something to smile about?
You are a young jobless man, or underemployed, is there something to smile about?

You are the only breadwinner, kwenu, burdened by the black tax. Is there something to smile about? Some burdens need some serious intervention.

You are a man, and you can’t provide for your family. Maybe you have been divorced as a result, or you feel the weight of the embarrassment. Where do you get the energy to type TUTAM?

Modern washing machine emulate hand washing. Tech like LG 6 motions and Hisense JetWash are not marketing gimmicks.

I recommend a modern automatic front loader machine. Washing machine usage is something that requires strong knowledge to maximize. Cycles matter. For example, cotton cycle and Auto cycle on a machine are not the same. One wash better than the other. Woop cycle for example use gentle wash and spin at a maximum of 800RPM to maintain shape.

If you want to wash a buttoned corporate shirt, use cotton cycle or use synthetic cycle if most of them are not cotton.

Add prewash function as extra and add Extra rinse too. Your clothes will come out sparkling clean.

Washing machines are now very advanced. There are cycles like allergy care, baby care and features like steam wash.

We even have combo unit that will wash, rinse, spin and dry. It's about getting quality machines with advanced features and using the right cycle.

No hand in this world can outwash a solid washing machine. I say this with every sense of responsibility and hands-on experience.

Just know your machine and master its features. Routine maintenance is key too.

Some people use washing machine for a whole year without cleaning and later complain of weak wash and allergies.

To enjoy your washing machine, take the manual and read religiously. If it has an app, get washing guides from it too.

Washing machine is one of the sweetest inventions ever made by mankind. Enjoy it.

Women will never understand the simple joy men get from just existing.

A man can arrive in a new city, walk around for hours, and enjoy discovering his surroundings.

The moment a woman joins, it becomes a nonstop agenda: cafés, restaurants, shopping, tourist spots.
She constantly needs something to keep her entertained, while men can be perfectly content doing absolutely nothing.

Grab a drink. Sit in the town square. Watch the world. Hours pass.

Perfect.

They just quietly renew the car insurance at 2 a.m.

Skip their own doctor’s appointment so the school fees can be cleared, and still say I’m fine when you ask how work was.

That’s the love no one talks about.
