Forced into Fashion!

A few days back, my friend was talking about another friend of hers and she exclaimed... "She doesnt even use a facewash!!! "

I thought to myself, is there any rule that we should use a facewash!!!
My God; this is the real face of fashion today I suppose; that you need to do these things...

Be it attending a party; function.. or what so ever; from the costume, the jewellery you wear, the make up, perfume everything needs to be DONE!!
Thats what surprises me... people do it for the sake of doing it is it?
Fashion should be something within you!

Dressing presentably and comfortable should be good enough for fashion...
Never bother about people around you and the way they dress and follow them; for it might not even suit us!

Even men are becoming consious with the new men's fairness creams and facewashes!! HUH!
Fashion, in today's world seems to have become a mandate. But in yester years this was not the case and women looked more beautiful naturally :)
I saw my grandma's old pic recently and thought "How beautiful"... Yes the real beauty of women is not in the skin but the way she is!

So men and women; be fashionable from within and not just for the sake of it...

Found my misplaced umbrella :)

Yippieeee; found my umbrella today ...

Hehehe... 2 days back while travelling back home in my office bus; I left my umbrella while de-bussing!
I never realised it until the next day morning...

Today, a day after this, I checked the bus driver and yes he had saved it safely for me...
When I claimed it to be mine; he gave it...

I was so happy; not so sure why for an umbrella...
still something which I thought was lost; I got it back

Its always a nice feeling to get back what you've lost. Whatever be it!
It could be a pen, card or why even a friend!!!

Sometimes, happiness is found in these little things than anything big :)
Keep smiling and be happy! :)

Forget like kids!!

Being with kids around is fun, helps you forget your worries and problems. But hold on, not always when the problem is from them!!!
Yes, sometimes kids get cranky and stubborn for things that they want...

My niece, one day was troubling her mom. I scolded her and she started crying immediately. She is a very sensitive kid and would start weeping even if we raise our voice for fun!

I dint expect her to cry but she cried really hard and wasnt ready to compromise in anyway.

Through out the half hour that she took to get over her emotions; she was staring at me, indicating "Im really mad at you. And what you did was wrong :("

Yes, she was with the same sad face. Whenever I looked at her, she would skip away her eyes from mine and later I stopped doing that.

In a while; somehow she got back to normal and without any hesitation she came to me and showered her affection. I was surprised. Coz she just forgot that I had hurt her!!

Man, thats a very short time to forget and be the same to the person who had hurt you just few mins ago. But am sure, the kid remembered the love I had shown on her more... and thats the reason she must have come to be normal.

Amazing... its not just with this kid, Im sure with all.... they just forget the hard time and dont show that adverse on the love to the same person who made them cry...   

We grown ups, take those long, for years together sometimes and spoil relationships!!

Am sure there's a kid in all of us and why dont we take this attribute of that kid....

FORGIVE AND FORGET!!

Lets just cherish the good memories and throw away the bad ones..

Once again, memories are beautiful when carried with smiles only...

Walking through Memories

Memories are beautiful when the past was good and the present has some ripples! We enjoy and cherish them more!

Yesterday, while getting back from office; there was some blockage in the way to my home and the bus redirected through another route. I thought "Oh Man, now I have to walk all the way back home"

But just then I realised, the way back home was through the school I studied!!

A sense of happiness flooded through my nerves. Just minutes ago frustation to walk home and now am happy to walk!
Wattan irony....

Yes, I walked through the roads where I did my schooling. I studied there from kindergarden till 12th.... so more than 14 years I had taken that path to school and back home which was pretty close to the school.

As I passed my school; a gush of thoughts;
cycle stand, playground, play pen, classrooms, auditorium, prayer, play shed, canteen and what not!
My child hood friends and the time I spend with them...

The nearby bakery shop where we all used to eat out everyday... from chaat to ice creams....!!
The road that I took back home was through a pubic playground. Swings, sea-saw , slides and other games!

We used to play there while going back home every evening!!
Also, we were a bunch from the same apartments studying in the same school and we used to walk together back home.

Was always wonderful to be with friends around.

During rainy days, along with all the kids living in that apartments we used to walk back home. It was so much fun and memorable. I remember every instance and the different routes we took.

Life has taken a huge turn now and everything seems like way back though its just 8 years since I finished school.
Participating in all competitions in school and enjoyed every little thing.

These are the memories which we carry through out our life!
I dont think any such memory during our work life can replace this....

Childhood is indeed the best phase in our life!
And my school was one of the best!!! :)

Weekend outing!

This sunday, went out with my family to Queensland near poonamalee...

We had a great time there. I must say, after a long time such a family outing was so much fun and cherishing. The good old days together with cousins, friends and other mates around.

Life has taken about a huge turn!

While taking this, I have missed a lot, and I guess thats how all of us feel.

Work life, peers @ work place, commitments - so are these the reasons for this miss!

Dunno, but am sure, we can still catch up with our friends, cousins and now our nieces and nephews!

I've got 3 nephews and a niece... the outing with them, standing along side on their crazy kids ride, taking pictures, ice creams together, chips, juice... ha!! wat not!!

Great time...

These are the little things that make life so beautiful.

Though just a day out, a wonderful day, bringing back the memories of the earlier outing to the same place along with my friends!

Memories are beautiful as long as the instances were ...

What's in store!!

So, ever wondered what's in store for us?!

We always make that statement right, "Lets see whats in store for me".
Its so true...
When we dont get what we want, or we cannot predict things, we say this...

Its more a positive statement I suppose, to wait and see what we get.
Be it my job or day's plan, if things dont go my way, I always say to myself, "Alright, what is this doesnt work for me, lets see what is in store for me". This keeps me going.
There must be something that helps us move on!

And this statement helps me...

So, what's in store for you??? :)

Energy!

It was in a TV show, I saw Karthik (play back singer) performing. Man, what an energy I thought. For years he has been my favourite! And still continues. Not sure, but this time I felt the energy more closer.

Everytime he jumped to the stage for his performance, he literally jumped steps to reach! After a long time, I saw him/someone with so much of energy which pulled us also into the mood.

wondered if I could ever have this much energy... but would be really nice to be so. Being energitic keeps us young and looks like people watching them also feel good.

So y not try being so?! :)
