Snippets........Somethings we come across in our day to day lives...


A friend once said, "for Godssake, wearing Jeans is not considered fashionable", to which I replied, "Thank God that am still wearing something that suits me". By the way, Jeans is the best fashion  invention ever. ;)

I know a lot of people, who are very good at preaching, they can go on and on and on about their philanthropic  nature, and how they teach their children the importance of sharing, the next minute you would see them fighting with their maids for 100 bucks, and their children doing everything BUT sharing. Preaching is easy.

A person once told me that my maid works for me, because she is scared of me, and I thought, in liberated India, where maids make more news than even celebrities, I definitely must be a cut above the rest, to have a  maid who works for me out of fear ;)

If charity begins at home, so does racial discrimination.
Fact: dusky models are the most wanted ones in a fashion industry, because of their features and flawless skin. ;)

If one had to go by facebook updates, about others lives, they would always find that their friends lives are better than theirs,. There is always a difference between fiction and reality and thats the reason why fictions are best sellers, nobody wants to accept reality.

I have seen parents teaching "values" to their lil ones, and screaming at their parents and inlaws in front of the lil ones... Thats a nice epitome of values..I must say. Maybe they don't have enough doors... ;)

A woman clad in a simple churidar-kurta can look like a million bucks than a woman clad in skimpy clothes. Stylish doesn't mean wearing the clothes that are in vogue, even if you look silly in them. Being stylish is about attitude. 

If one had to purely judge by looks, then Abhi-Ash would have never been together. Aren't compatibility and mutual understanding, trust, respect the main ingredients for a successful relationship/marriage?? Nobody is interested in couple gossips unless you are a celebrity, that is why Ash's pregnancy is a national news, and not every other Jane who is getting pregnant. :D

Take it easy policy...

A friend walked in, to have coffee, her house also is empty by 8 and so is mine. So sometimes, we catch up for our lil tete-a-tete over coffee. Talking about coffee, I have turned the American way, I now prefer black coffee to white. Well, the first cuppa is with milk. Her Mum is an amazing baker, she had sent homemade peanut butter cookies. So, my neighbour was generous enough to get some for me. I made the famous South Indian filter coffee, and we plonked ourselves on the couch. She seemed a lil disturbed, so after a lot of prodding, she finally asked me if I thought she was obsessive about being perfect. So I instantly said Yes! And she was shocked, she said how could I have known that about her, as I have known her only for few months. So I laughingly pointed out at certain incidents and told her that I have a penchant for observing people and their mannerisms, and I can't help it. We laughed, then she asked, but what's wrong in doing things perfectly? I told her nothing, ...

Blah blahs....

For the last few days, I open my blog, view it, read my friends posts and then sign out... There are so many thoughts crossing my mind, everyday, but am unable to pin it down. For example, this morning, in the Delhi metro, nobody offered their seat to an old woman, she even requested one young girl to get up, as she wasn't feeling too well, but the dame refused. Two minutes later, the old woman had a dizzy spell and fell, I couldn't help asking that dame, how would she have felt if her mother went through a similar situation? She obviously didn't have an answer, but that set me into a thinking mode, not to forget that I was totally upset with such a start to the day. But, come to think of it, what is happening to our society? What happened to values? Respect..Kindness...Compassion... Have people forgotten these words? What are we passing on to our children? Everyday, I get bogged down by such thoughts, because, even if I stick to my guns, and pass on the so called ...

NO (WO)MAN NO CRY..

So, the weekend's agenda was 'meet the inlaws' - my inlaws. And like many women, inspite of being married for a long time, the 'inlaw' factor still stirs a lot of mixed emotions, though I have learnt my way out and in of nagging situations, my heart continues to beat faster. Anyway, there were lot of children, as it was my nephew's birthday party. The kids were playing, shouting, running, jumping, fighting - exactly in that order. My son. all of 8 is a little sensitive, he hasn't  learnt yet to deal with violent or hyper energetic kids. He kept requesting a kid of his age to stop kicking him, but the other one didn't listen, and as it's famously said, "Survival of the fittest", my son finally kicked back, and blocked him using his karate moves,(at last the technique was put to use)! The fight actually increased, as the other kid now charged with all his might. By the time the elders stopped the fight, that kid had hurt my son, I was ch...
