Good or bad, but they are etched in our mind forever. There's no getting over that. They leave an imprint on our mind.”

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The other day I was talking to one of my friends about the people who are perfect to be crowned away with glory with the super title of COPYCATS. And our discussion made me write this up here to share all the qualities of these weird creatures and my hatred for them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I don't like it when people compare their lives with others and try to copy, imitating the other person in almost everything just to be like him./her or envy them...Why can't they be original or at least appreciate someone or something taking inspiration from them rather than blindly copying them. Everyone has his/her own unique qualities...why not try to accentuate them rather than trying to be someone else. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And God, what they don't copy....What you wear, how your wear, your hairstyle accessory, the way you do up your home, kitchen...from your refrigerator to your cutlery...to the shade of nailpaints...huuhhhh....how vast it ranges.....How can one be so sick!!! True..those people are mentally sick.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I do understand that people like how others do something, even I do and that is the way to learn new things from experience but at least have the gratitude and courtesy to appreciate the choice & taste of person and your desire to try it yourself. Instead these irritating creatures will copy it and portray as if its their though work taking the credit from the original person sheepishly. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BUT hey remember that you can copy everything from head to toe or from this corner to that, but you damn cannot copy the attitude. And yes if you think everybody around is fool not to understand your cheap tactics,, Baby..you are surely mistaken...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I really appreciate people who are original in their thoughts..ideas and have the guts to appreciate others for their good things.Who doesn't like some or the other thing in other's life....I have friends whom I admire for their attitude towards their life...their dressing sense...but yes I praise them for their good quality and try to imbibe something from them in myself but not copying blindly inch by inch just to be a mirror image of them. </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Be happy for others happiness and see how your's increase up by many folds. I am not preaching but I try to follow this : "If you are Good, then everything Good will happen to you".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Everybody out their know that you are a bloody copycat and Yes to you...I dislike Copycats </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(hate would be quite a strong word)</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I am sure all of you have come across someone apt to suit this title in your life as I have seen handful of them in mine....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wanna share some instances....It will be fun :)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My today's facebook status reads: </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">
</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 17px;"><b><span style="color: orange;">Orange seems to be the color of the month....I am liking everything that is orange except THE ORANGE itself :)</span></b></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This shows how obsessed I am currently with this color. I have bought three dresses of varied shades of orange...bright orange...dull orange..peach...and yes an orange wallet too....lol. Just for a note, I am wearing an orange jacket today ;) Now I think its high time I stop gathering everything orange or else I will have orange-o-mania...funny...But yes at times it does happen with me that I become so obsessed with a color that I go on buying stuff of the same color without realizing of overdoing it...So its time to control....</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 17px;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">No great plans on Saturday as India Pakistan match is scheduled and it will be a herculean task to even try to move M out of home to miss such a historical event..hehe....Good hopes for Sunday as I will make sure he compensates for the Saturday home arrest. Few things on shopping agenda and I take a pledge I will stay away from anything that even remotely matches orange ;)</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17px;">Jiah Khan's suicide made me think how anything can affect one to such limits that he/she can take such dreadful step like suicide...I agree that yes it pains to lose one's love but it can't be love if it leads you to commit such </span><span style="line-height: 16px;">heinous</span><span style="line-height: 17px;"> crime...Love makes you live each day with much more enthusiasm and hope and love.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hey people...please forgive me for the crime I have done...Crime...yes of course..absconding from this platform for over than three months is a crime for sure.....So I apologize everybody for that......I am in a happy state of mind with some of very pleasant things happening with people around me and those who are important in my life. Will give the updates later. Most of my wishes are being granted by Dear God...I thank to him with all my heart...May he keeps his blessings like this ever on me :)))</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And yes what I have been doing all this while....My in-laws visited us for over a month and then I visited my parents....So that kept me busy...the rest of the time passed by in excitement and all the preparations....But now I am back to my normal routine and how I missed this place....</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well as the IPL is over, hope this will make my weekends more happening as M would have no reason to stay back and watch those unending numerous cricket matches. Lot of good movies are lined for released...Its long since I saw a good movie with the whole gang...Weather is also showing off its good behavior..While everybody all over India is complaining of the heat waves, Bangalore is still way better than the rest. I celebrated my car's first anniversary...its really special...There are no holidays in the coming two months so it would be no play all work for all the five days of week except the lovely weekends which I start waiting from every Monday itself ;)</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">What else, I am putting everything which is coming to my mind right now...May be random but that is the state of my mind now..I am happy to be here with all you lovely readers. </span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Keep loving me and reading...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Its official.....I am having chicken pox and have been advised complete isolation by the doctor. When the doctor was giving this advice to me, he seemed to be the jailer sentencing me house arrest for 2 weeks...Oh GOD...my head was spinning...worried not by the fact that I have this chicken pox but that I would not be able to step out of the house for 15 days which were sounding like 15 years for me...completely nightmarish..</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The kind of person I am who feels suffocated even if I am made to sit whole day at home,,,and to be isolated to a room was an irony in itself.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-efVsObxV0I0/URABIV5HlAI/AAAAAAAAA6w/zzWvQSYhwi4/s1600/sick-girl-cartoon.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-efVsObxV0I0/URABIV5HlAI/AAAAAAAAA6w/zzWvQSYhwi4/s1600/sick-girl-cartoon.JPG" /></a>I was almost up to tears thinking of my house arrest or rather room arrest and how now M will have to do manage everything alone. He took work from home for two weeks and I also informed my senior of my absence. But then, my problem remained... what to do??? At that thought, I thanked the person who invented internet without which I would have died of boredom in that room. Just sitting in that room of 16 ft by 12 ft, I had breakfast, lunch, dinner served in my room..All thanks to the care given by M...And here I was sitting counting days and praying to the almighty to somehow fast forward the time and make this week pass by quickly so that I can be a free bird again. M has made all arrangement to help me keep occupied....net, music, books, movies, newspaper etc but my wanderer soul was craving to go out and this feeling was heightened & worsened on weekend when I would imagine all my friends enjoying out there while I am sitting in the room due to this stupid thing....M would just tease me to keep things light that God had punished you for making me go out every weekend with you,,so now you are confined and to which I would warn him of the coming weekend where he will have to compensate for this one and we both would laugh our heart out.....</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But all thanks to my doctor and my presence of mind that the viral attack was not a severe one as I had heard of and I have almost recovered in a week. Can't imagine though that I actually drank so much of cooling juice like coconut water, buttermilk, orange juice, litchi juice even water in just these few days. Probably more than what I had for a year. And the worse of torture was that I was not supposed to take bath for five days so as not to spread the infection. Poor me (:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For my wonderful hubby, thank you M for all the things you have done to ensure that I am given the best. Many thanks to my friends & relatives for giving me calls to check that I am doing good.<span style="background-color: #f6f6f6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So friends, I am all done from this itchy disease ridden captivity and out of my hibernation and ready to rock this weekend.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: #f6f6f6; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step out of the house and all you see in the market is big white boards printed in red shouting <b style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><span style="color: red;">SALE SALE SALE!!! </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="background-color: white; color: red;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LfR6OJplsCw/UQ6JGsmYnKI/AAAAAAAAA58/ZQRFat2XfH8/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="256" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LfR6OJplsCw/UQ6JGsmYnKI/AAAAAAAAA58/ZQRFat2XfH8/s320/images.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">One thing which I still don't understand is that why the word Sale is (mostly) printed in Red color. The only reason which I (naughty me ;) can think of, is the danger color warning for every guy before he steps in the shop with his girlfriend or wife...that his wallet is at the risk of getting raided and for the girls..it is in red as it is the most attractive color</span><span style="background-color: white;"> with a very high frequency to be noticed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well<span style="background-color: white;"> whatever be the reason, this sale season comes every year.....year after year.......BUT...at a very odd time of the year. December - February is generally the big sale season..when a person is already bugged down by so many things. After being depleted of half of his savings in the festival season..Dussera, Diwali, Christmas, New Year...people are already struggling to manage to make ends meet...Then comes the another villain named Investment..which rub salt on the wounds... Among all these..there is this sale season teasing us at our crisis and laughing at our thinning wallets and shrinking bank balance which has achieved a size zero figure by now.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n0a3hJ6y_tA/UQ6L2TX66nI/AAAAAAAAA6M/cKImqqgzIw0/s1600/157220464.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-n0a3hJ6y_tA/UQ6L2TX66nI/AAAAAAAAA6M/cKImqqgzIw0/s200/157220464.jpg" width="151" /></a><span style="background-color: white;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But I will tell you the BIG surprise....I too wait for this sale period :) like others..The happiness quotient is a notch higher and the frequency of the market visits increase 3 fold. The temptation to buy branded things at half or one third price is so luring though I understand that it is not the case...but how does it matters even if I am able to save some of the amount and the personal satisfaction of getting my favorite branded clothes at a lesser price than original. It is so difficult to resist yourself of the mouth watering sale...</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">A very handy tip coming from the horse's mouth....I mean to come from a freaking shopaholic me</span><span style="background-color: white;">....that .. it is very important to make a list what you need otherwise</span><span style="background-color: white;"> you may end up spending your hard earned money buying stuff that you may not be in need of, which usually happens. So, think before you buy....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">And now a confession....whenever I step in stores to buy out in sale....I like all the fresh or new arrivals...poor me (: </span><span style="background-color: white;">Does this happen with you too?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Happy Shopping!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I know you all must be wondering about my hideout post new year. But trust me, I am going through not a very good patch of my life. Otherwise, there would not be a reason why I would be visiting my blog after 20 days. This little world of mine is one of the most lovely places where I love to be. But all these worries are keeping me apart from it. Don't understand why things are not going fine and the very start of the year has been tremulous...God knows how the year will go on, the year which has yet to offer me a lot of special things....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I consider myself as one of the most positive person, but sometimes I feel, life is not all that rosy which I think, it is. May be God is testing my patience and everything will fall in its place...but how come this is happening in every aspect of my life...professional, personal, emotional....I don't know how to deal with it.....At times, I feel hopeless....then I console myself to be strong..... the very next moment I am crying.....I am not able to understand what is happening with me.....Please GOD...help me....guide me...how to steer through this difficult time and be the person I am....</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It seems just yesterday when our gang was storming their </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">brains</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> to decide upon the theme and </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">color</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> code for the </span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">new</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"> year party 2012....and today as the year is almost bidding goodbye with 2013 knocking loud...I feel that time really does fly and more so when we want it to hold on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2012 has been fairly okay for me with its share of mixed moments of good and not so good times.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My <b>black beauty aka my car</b> became mine after months of contemplation and frustration of deciding which one to buy. It is a different feeling and yes owning a four wheeler is not a luxury anymore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>Happy Birthday to my BLOG</b>...Imprints of the MIND.....I entered the blogging world in Dec 2011 but have started putting stuff here from May 2012...So going by the writing phase its still midway but going by the records...my blog turns a year old and here is me wishing my blog a very Happy Birthday....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have seen a <b>number of movies</b>..both good and bad and like the movie buff I am, any movie has to be damn irritating to-be not liked by me...so you know my choice...I can watch any damn movie except few but in theatres of course...at home I have lot more other options and engagements..also 2012 gave a wide variety of movies....some very good ones with excellent social messages.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Attended a <b>good friend's engagement and wedding</b>...and believe me it was fun...reminded me of my own wedding...same anxiety, confusion, planning, budgeting...lots of shopping.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This year has witnessed a <b>lot of deaths</b> of some very popular figures and yes many others of course. Life is short, so enjoy it...and whoever you may be....everyone has to face the same fate. Ya, sounds philosophical but its true.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There has been <b>increase in the crime rate</b>...deaths, kidnaps, rapes, murders, extortions...The latest being the brutal gang rape case of Delhi..This all saddens me. Makes me think that no place is literally safe for girls and why parents are right when they say they are more worried about the girls than the boys..the logic stands clear apart.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The<b> inflation </b>has touched a new peak. I have come to realize this as I have felt this in my daily routine. Sugar has risen from 16Rs/kg to 40Rs/Kg, Gas cylinder increases four times the rate I remember...from 100 to 430 Rs....Petrol has become priceless...and is continuously doing so. What irks me is that our salary is not increasing in that proportion and our hard earned money which we pay as the so called taxes is adding to the bank balance of the corrupt politicians.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Lot of other events have happened across the year but these are few which I can think as of now that have been directly or indirectly added to my memory.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So my 2012 was ok ok..How's your been?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Love</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">2012 has been great for me as far as movie watching is concerned. I & M have seen number of movies...handful of them planned and a number of them unplanned. As 2012's last big banner and the most awaited movie 'Dabangg 2' is released now, the filmi pundits have also gone on a new year break. This year had its share of some mind blowing hits along with some mind baffling ones too. Here are my picks of best and worst of 2012 from Bollywood.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><u>MY BES</u></b><u style="font-weight: bold;">TS</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>ENGLISH VINGLISH</b>: Being Gauri Shinde's debut film, this one is hard to be unliked by anyone. Sridevi, in her comeback movie, has done fabulous job and has proved her acting talent yet again. Truly depicting the emotions of a woman who wants to do everything possible to please her family only to be humiliated by kids and husband for her speaking skills. Truly a mirror of society. Hats Off Performance by Sridevi!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>OH MY GOD</b>: Another fantastic movie which is a brave satire on commercialization of religion and God. Fabulous acting by Paresh Rawal. This movies preaches to believe in GOD not to follow traditions blindly. The way to God's heart is by helping the needy not by spending money in temples. Wonderful message :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>VICKY DONOR</b>: Totally out of the league with an all new star cast, this movie can be termed as the most hilarious movie of the year made on a sensitive topic like sperm donorship. It has spread the message in a very light yet convincing way. Fabulous acting by handsome Ayushmann Khurrana and ever charming beauty Yami Gautam. Also special mention to Annu Kapoor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>BARFI</b>: This film by Anurag Basu proves Ranbir Kapoor as the scene stealer. No bold dialogues, no loud music, this movies echos the silence of its two main protagonists. A perfect example showing the celebration of life. Standing ovation to the charismatic appeal of RK. Priyanka also does a fabulous job but her acting skills could have been extracted for more. But a must watch different love triangle with refreshing set of songs. Paisa Vasool!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>KAHAANI</b>: An amazing suspense thriller, with a beautiful Durga Pooja backdrop and an unexpected ending. Vidya Balan has rocked in the movie. This proves that if the story is strong, film can be a hit inspite of a male lead. Be it the story, the dialogues, the narration or the acting, the film excels in all. Truly an award winning performance. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Not to forget Jab Tak Hai Jaan (special mention as it is a SRK movie :D ), Gangs of Wasseypur ( not yet seen but going by the general acclaim), Talaash, Dabangg 2, Ishaqzaade.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><u>MY WORSTS</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><u><br /></u></b>
<b>AIYYA: </b>Don't know what was Rani Mukherjee thinking while signing this film as her comeback. Poor story and script has let down the audience. Nothing much to say about the film just that this can give a shock to your mind. Awful...Aiiiyyyyoooooo!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>DANGEROUS ISHQ: </b>Again a bad choice for a comeback. Too less of a time to depict a story spread across a timleine of 500 years. Karishma is a superb actor but her skills get wasted here. Nothing to offer. Jimmy Shergill looks cool but has only a limited role. Don't dare to watch.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>JOKER:</b> Another mindless film with nothing to offer. Not expected by Akshay Kumar. Perfect example of how too much madness spoils the movie. Dont watch if you want to avoid a headache. Event the aliens would be amused at their picturisation. Total Bakwaas!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>HEROINE:</b> The much hyped and controversial film of Madhur Bhandarkar finally banked on Kareena Kapoor's shoulders. But there was nothing new. Earlier it was fashion industry and now its film industry. Rest is the same. This cannot be expected from an award winning director. Kareena Kapoor looks glam and classy but lack of good screenplay & direction spoiled the film. Over-hyped...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>KHILADI 786: </b>Go to the theatre after keeping your brain and logic at home as there is no need for both of them. Mindless comedy and mindless action forms the part of the film. Akshay Lumar should now go for something serious. Picturisation is colorful and I like the songs. The worst logic is the story of Akshay's family. Total paisa & time wastage...</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I just don't like getting up too early in the morning. I am a night person.You ask me to be awake all night and I would be up like an owl but to get up early or rather really late night (for me) is just not my cup of tea...I set up four alarms to get up in the morning. If I have to get up at 7 then my alarm starts at 6.30 then 6.45 then 7.00 then 7.15, just in case, if I missed the last ones. Two days later, I have a 6 am flight to board for my friend's wedding and I am loosing my sleep over it now only. A 6 am flight means, I will have to get up at around 2.30 am to get ready in time with my last minute packing and to have my refreshing cup of tea without which I feel I am sleep walking. Whether I sleep early last night or late, it's always difficult. Sometimes I think to get up at 2.30, I should not sleep at all but foreseeing the busy days of wedding I have decided to take a quick nap to rest my ever wandering eyes.</span><br />

<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tluxibjkjnk/UL7yCuQ6TxI/AAAAAAAAA0s/KLbBrC12veU/s1600/bigstock_Hand_And_Button_Learn_6207878.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: justify;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-tluxibjkjnk/UL7yCuQ6TxI/AAAAAAAAA0s/KLbBrC12veU/s320/bigstock_Hand_And_Button_Learn_6207878.jpg" width="213" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few days ago when I saw a person playing guitar in a mall, I was just enthralled by his performance. His fingers were giving birth to melodious music. That made me realize, how much I wanted to learn guitar but somehow never found out time. So I thought to write down things which I want to learn and make sure that I manage to take out little time for myself to know them one by one.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>I WANT TO LEARN:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u style="background-color: orange;">Dance</u></b> - The several reality dance show presenting skilled dancers has invoked in me the burning desire to learn a dance form. This has been my wish from my school days. I fancy Salsa but also feel that the classical training is a must to know the intricacies of basic dancing and to acccustom the body to various dance forms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u style="background-color: orange;">Guitar</u></b> - I had always wanted to learn a musical instrument, either a synthesizer or a guitar......and decided on guitar when I saw that Mhmd. Rafi's song 'Kya Hua Tera Vada' from movie Hum Kisi Se Kum Nahi......in which Tariq Khan is playing guitar along with Rishi kapoor in the frame. Remember that song? Ya...very old one but one of my favorites :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: orange;"><u><b>Baking</b></u></span> - I wish to learn baking one day and make some really yummy mouth watering cakes, muffins, cookies :) and to decorate them</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u style="background-color: orange;">Stiching</u></b> - I want to learn some basic stitching as I am or rather M is tired of my unending visits to my tailor almost every other day for some alteration.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><b style="background-color: orange;">Whistle</b></u> - I know this might sound funny but this I so want to learn to be able to blow a super powerful whistle.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: orange;"><u><b>Foreign Language</b></u></span> - I want to learn at least one foreign language out of the main four European languages like German, French, Italian or Spanish...Which one should I learn has not been decided till now.<br />
<br />
<b><u style="background-color: orange;">Swimming</u></b> - I wish to learn swimming for two reasons. One is that for learning the art and second which is more important is to save me from drowning first and then someone else...No, I am not being selfish but its just that I have to be safe to save somebody.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CSRDqfB1zBY/UL7yAJw6B_I/AAAAAAAAA0k/mdSnkZig4vA/s1600/i+want+to+learn1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="252" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-CSRDqfB1zBY/UL7yAJw6B_I/AAAAAAAAA0k/mdSnkZig4vA/s320/i+want+to+learn1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There may be some additions to this list as the time progresses, but for now these things are what I want to learn in my life. And I promise myself to take out some time for my aspirations.</div>

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Dear M,<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">I can’t believe time just flies and that is exactly what has happened to me.</span> Today as we celebrate seven years of togetherness with four of them married on our fourth marriage anniversary; believe me when I say that these seven years have been the best ones of my life so far.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I still don’t understand how the teasing of friends brought us closer and when the cupid struck & our love blossomed. I didn’t know then and I don’t know now. Even now when people get to know about our love marriage and ask who proposed first, I am clueless what to answer and I just smile and say ‘No One’. Till date there has been no official proposal but each of us believe one thing for certain that we belong together. And from that day till today, the journey besides you is a blissful one.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Despite our conflict of interests in many things, what worked for us and is still working for us four years into marriage is the fact that we are less of husband wife and more of lovers. For the last seven years, each day has been a new start and in the course of day, we laugh, we fight, we argue, we remain silent, we tolerate, we fall in love again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I know that you do not believe in expressing your feelings through words but dear I can feel your selfless love in every single thing you say to me or you do for me. I know that everything will be ok when you are with me. There are unending reasons why I Love You but these simple things done by you make me loose my heart all over again.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you when just by the intensity of my saying yes, you know whether I like something or not.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you when you say that you also don’t want to have something when I say no just to make sure that I don’t have to make it only for you.</span></li>

<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you when you get so tense seeing me in tension or in problem.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you when you ask my suggestion on every matter, however small or big it may be.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you because you would rather be home with me than anywhere else.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you because you keep me smiling. You warm me with your cuddles. You hold me up when I’m down.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you because all the little things you do make such a big difference in my life.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you because since the day you came into my life, everything is perfect.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you for the fact that I can be myself when I am with you.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you because I like the sense of security I feel when I am with you.</span></li>
<li><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love you because you complete me in every possible way.</span></li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As per the Fashion Gurus, fashion repeats itself every now & then and they have been proved right. After the short kurtis, now its their long sibling which is trending. Anarkali suits have come back in fashion and is the latest craze in Indian fashion. Remember Madhubala wearing an elaborate anarkali suit in the famous song "Jab Pyaar Kiya Toh Darna Kya". They are making their way almost everywhere, right from wedding parties to pooja to daily wear. The anarkali suit is perhaps the perfect example of how vintage fashion can create a huge come back. It is the most liked Indian outfit in recent times considering its timeless beauty and appeal. The main reason for anarkali suit to be so popular among women of all age is its feminine and traditional outlook. They are a complete ethnic ensemble in them selves. All our Bollywood divas donning this beautiful attire is the proof of its popularity. The ankle length long flowy anarkalis are available in a range of fabrics from sheer chiffons to heavy brocades colored in broad spectra of bright and vibrant colors. With broad hemlines and heavily embellished necklines, they are the most fashionable outfit for the season.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The anarkali flatters most body types because of its A-line cut. It gives the slim a shape and hides flaw beautifully, giving an overall elegant look. They have an ethnic look and feel to them. However it can be made to look more contemporary with its length reduced. Short anarkalis are a modern twist to the anarkalis. On the other hand long, kalidaar, ankle length anarkalis are completely traditional generally with full sleeves and heavy work. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The latest anarkali trend is the layered ones with a separate long jacket or a layer of separate fabric attached to it or the panelled ones which give you a slim and svelte look.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">With festive season already in, Go grab & flaunt your anarkali suit and look your charming best!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today is one of those special day of the year when I feel so blessed to have a life partner like M and really thank God from bottom of my heart for bringing him into my life. You would be thinking why only this day...it is not that these feelings are just reserved for this day but this one day bound by tradition and culture makes it all the more special. Today is my fourth Karva Chauth. In modern days this festival has been much glorified and commercialized due to its significant portrayal in Hindi films and television soaps. But for me this day is to celebrate my belief in this beautiful relationship and to pray to Almighty to keep it savored with much love and trust which are the two most essential pillars of any relationship. Karva Chauth is a festival of love and belief and gets its name from the diya or <b>karva</b> which is used in pooja and <b>chauth</b> as it falls on the fourth day of the dark fortnight (Krishna Paksha of Kartik month). It is considered an important and auspicious day for married women.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I love applying mehendi and get it done in the evening a day before for the color to come out dark and bright. Mehendi walas are in high demand this day and have their rates soaring high. I remember long queues at the mehendi shops in Lajpat nagar as late as 12 in the night when I used to stay in Delhi. Markets are all decorated in the festive colors with beautifully decorated pooja thalis and ladies flood the market for buying their karvas and pooja stuff. This festival is celebrated in groups mostly in northern part of the country but as not many people follow this custom here down south, I do it in my home along with my close family members.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My day starts with the fast, with the pooja preparations by decorating the karva, setting up the place for pooja, all decorated with diyas, colorful rangoli, coconut, ashok leaves, fruits and sweets. I make poori and halwa for prasad. All decked up in a traditional attire with colorful bangles, bindis and traditional jewellery, pooja is done in the evening which includes reading the Karva Chauth vrat katha. The fast is broken after the sunset with sighting the moon through a sieve and then looking at M (though he finds this whole process amusing) and taking the first sip of water and first crunch of food from his hand. But sometimes Mr. Moon tests my patience and takes his own sweet time to appear playing hide & seek with clouds. Last time I was lucky. Lets hope for the best this year.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is one question which is thrown out at M by me every evening when I return from office...and for which every evening, a pre-recorded message type answer is tossed back at me - "Whatever you wish, dear"....which makes me all the more frustated than the whole tortourous cooking proceedings.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is our daily conversation on this topic.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> (What to cook for dinner today?)</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">M: <i>Kuch bhi bana lo, jo tumhara mann </i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> (Make anything, whatever you wish)</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: <i>Kuch bhi matlab kya.....kuch naam to hoga na </i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> (What do you mean by anything....It must be having a name)</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">M: <i>Matlab jo tumhe khana hai, main toh kuch bhi kha lunga </i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> (I mean what ever you wish to eat, I will eat anything)</span></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Me: <i>Gusse mein...Kabhi kuch bol bhi diya karo</i></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> ( All frustrated... At least name something at times)</span></i></b></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Really I tell you ...Cooking is a hell of a boring and terrible task <i>(Note: Here I am talking about the regular household cooking comprising of a breakfast, lunch and dinner)</i> but the more dreadful task is the thinking process which goes behind deciding on the dinner menu...I mean thinking what to cook is more stressful than the actual cooking itself (except for some preprations which seem to be never ending..)</span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">All these food items look so tempting na...so much variety....But only the planner and maker of this yummy food knows the hard work both mental and physical which goes behind that.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g7EFE0C1olo/UH_kPp9tWuI/AAAAAAAAAw4/YY6UNPxMZ2Q/s1600/cook9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-g7EFE0C1olo/UH_kPp9tWuI/AAAAAAAAAw4/YY6UNPxMZ2Q/s320/cook9.jpg" width="304" /></span></a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The minute I step out of my office, this question dances in my mind from one corner to the other giving me shudders....Every Monday to Friday <i>(Note: Its not that I do not eat on weekends....but dinner is always out...breakfast is skipped as we get up late and lunch...somehow I manage)</i> I come home, stand in front of the fridge and think.....And when I finally decide on what to cook (as it is of no use to ask M about it and get that same question mark look on his face), another trauma awaits me of finding out half of the ingredients are missing. That leaves me with no option other than going for some life saver recipe for which ingredients is not a problem as khichdi, vegetable pulao or some aloo dish......and just for the information, these are all which I hate and M loves....but at least these are easy to cook rather than going out to get the missing ingredients. There are same four five patent vegetables available at the shop which I am sick and tired of cooking and eating....Yes, I can try to cook different cuisines.. Chinese... Continental and I do know some off-the-routine recipes like dosas, manchurian or pavbhaji.....but who has the time to try out new delicious recipes or to break my head on inventing some new variation of the same old stuff.....The day when there is dinner party or outing on a weekday, I am sure that there is no person more happy on this Earth than me....It feels like there is no work after reaching home...I am the most relieved and relaxed person that day.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f8RdOYbbmU0/UH_lSWoWQyI/AAAAAAAAAxA/HIG6kVC1ODU/s1600/cook1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="213" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-f8RdOYbbmU0/UH_lSWoWQyI/AAAAAAAAAxA/HIG6kVC1ODU/s320/cook1.jpg" width="320" /></span></a><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This used to be the scene every day until I came up with a solution. Its that we normally buy vegetables for the next whole week on Friday itself as there is lot of other stuff to do on weekends and weekdays are super busy.. So now I make a menu (and you guessed it right....again a list) for the week and buy vegetables as per the menu list so that nothing is missed out and I am spared of exercising my brain of the same routine question everyday. This way I have a stock set of recipe list which are of different variety and which I can alternate over a two week period so that the dinner is not monotonous or repetitive. See change is needed here too. The quote <b>"The Only Thing is Constant is Change"</b> fits this situation so damn appropriate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I believed that it is the case with me only that it takes half the task off my head when somebody tells me what to cook but after interviewing all the ladies of my family and the extended family...I concluded with a relieved heart that this is the case with every lady who is in charge of cooking dinner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So here are five quick tips for ladies to find a quick answer to this question?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Have some frozen food items like paneer, peas always stocked in your refrigerator in case you do not want to cook an elaborate dinner or something is missing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Make a list of all the daily routine recipes so that you do not have to think of what to cook when time is running ahead of you. Look at the list and in the fridge and get ready to cook.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Its not always that you have to cook as per the strict instructions by the recipe book or the one who has told you the recipe. Some change here and there as per your convenience can be done...just that they should not be too consequential on the taste front.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Plan the menu in advance to suit your schedule. As in you can cook something elaborate on Friday night as Saturday is a holiday and your are not in a rush to eat and sleep early.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">- Always keep an eye on the ration list to have an idea of what is there in the kitchen and what is going to run out of stock so that you can refill those before its needed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope this helps you in your cooking ordeals.....Do let me know any other quick fix tips to save on time and energy. I guess, ladies, we are all sailing in the same boat.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As social networking is the new 'IN' thing across the world, Facebook, one of the most famous social networking platform has become a rage with over one billion active users as on September 2012. Now with its mobile applications, it is more easily accessible to people. I am a big admirer of Facebook for some of the obvious reasons and for some of the not so obvious ones too. Let me share with you the top ten benefits of this FAD :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1 :) It helps you to connect with new friends and discover your long forgotten childhood friends whose faces you don't remember and can't believe on seeing them that they can grow so beautiful or such dumb :P</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2 :) It helps you to share your photos, ideas...voice your thoughts and get opinions on a particular point. It facilitates exchange of ideas through common interest groups or friends. Also can help to highlight any social issue which needs attention and awareness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3 :) It is a source of information, news, updates which goes viral on the net and helps us to be updated on what is happening around us.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4 :) A great platform for business promotions with the help of creating your Ad pages/Fan pages. Helps you to pass the information about products, features, company etc.</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5 :) People can look out for various employment opportunities which are continuously posted and updated on the concerned pages.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now these were some of the obvious reasons citing the benefits of Facebook. Now let me quote the not so obvious ones.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6 :) A great tool to peep into other's life and check what are they doing, who are they friends with or stalking your ex's....and off course the motive is just being updated.....I mean that's this site is for...what say :)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7 :) Apt and timely utilization of the place locator tool to let the people know that you have been to some of the most exotic places in the world for your weekends or vacation ;) smell something burning???</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8 :) Generates the feel good factor on receiving hundreds of 'WOW' and fab comments on uploading your unlimited photos which portray you as a diva or a dude...Thanks to so many simple photo editing techniques or else you would have not recognized yourself in some of those......</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9 :) Euphoria of having hundred likes to your great thought posted as your status message...All thanks to the founder of 'Ctrl C' and 'Ctrl V' function. Hats off!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
10 :) This one is the real winner....in its true sense...A free remedy to your killer boredom...a time pass when you have no other work or are too lazy to move your bum. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Are you having some other not so obvious benefits in your mind.....Do share in :)))<br />

<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Have you ever imagined your life without colors.....in Black and White...so gloomy & lifeless, so dull & boring.... Colors are very noticeable attribute of the world around us. They add the beauty and charm to the world. They have so much to offer...an identity, feelings, recognition, happiness, imagination. Each color has its beauty...each one has a different story to say...Ever wondered that a color change can let us know that the fruit is ripe to eat...there are many such signals which colors impart to our life....the onset of spring...the fall of dawn....the crimson fire...silver streaks of cloud....the golden paddy fields.... Colors are the smiles of nature making it picturesque.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Every color has a meaning associated with it and certain colors are known to lift up our moods for better.....Have you noticed that why people are more relax in green color rooms or why do weightlifters do their best in blue gyms. Much has been studied and written about colors and their impact on our daily lives. Color can influence our actions and how we respond to various people, things and ideas. In fact, researchers and psychologists have also tried to understand the impact that colors have in our life and our emotions so that these can perhaps be used as a way of therapy... color therapy and enhance the well being of people. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Throughout the world, Rainbows, a spectrum of seven colors is considered a symbol of hope. So, here is a brief description about colors and the meanings associated by them as per the various existing color theories.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"><b>RED</b></span> symbolizes Action, Confidence, Courage</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The most intense and passionate color. Red color is associated with heart and perhaps that is why it symbolizes love, passion, desire. Red is also associated with enthusiasm, energy and immediately draws attention. But since this color is so intense, it also can mean danger and is therefore used in traffic signals stop sign. It is also an appetite stimulant, thus often used in restaurants.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i># I associate <span style="color: red;">Red</span> with love and attraction.</i></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: blue;"><b>BLUE</b></span> symbolizes Youth, Spirituality, Truth, Peace</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Blue is among the most popular color and can be seen generously in nature...the color of the Sky and the Sea. It is associated with peace and tranquility. This color also symbolizes calmness and loyalty & is often painted in bedrooms. It also signifies dependability, communication and trustworthiness. Fashion consultants recommend wearing blue to job interviews because it symbolizes loyalty. It is the least gender specific color having equal appeal to both men & women.

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Life seem to be shifting gears rapidly as the year approaches August...my </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">favorite</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> month of the year...not for the fact that it is the month of my birth,,...my birthday month...but for the fact that August paves the way for the happy festive season ahead which lasts till March followed by a dry spell of about four months when there is no single reason to celebrate. Every month following August has at least one day which is different from other days....beautified by the traditions, rituals, sweets, people, celebrations....varied from the routine. I love these little celebrations which break the monotonous journey of life..Though I fancy all the festivals...small or big....the one which I cherish and look forward to the most is Diwali (Deepawali)...for the simple reason that I visit my in-laws place where this festival is celebrated in all its fervor and glory, to be followed by yet another very grand and pious Chath pooja which I have never witnessed until I got married.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Diwali marks the get together of all family members all across different places at home and celebrations..A grand family comprising 15 members from mom-in-law, father-in-law, bhaiyas, bhabhis, grandfather(dadaji), me, M and the three naughty kids.....a small mela kind :)...You might be wondering that am I crazy to be such delighted to visit my in-laws place...but trust me I really look forward to it as they are so loving and understanding and also that I have been born and brought up in a nuclear family makes the experience all the more fascinating for me surrounded by so many people..Yes, definitely there are times when it is slightly difficult to live up to the expectations and responsibilities to be in-law's place....to get up early (which I manage fairly as everyone sleeps early there, so I get my 7 hours of sleep), to have a little less of me time....but yet there is a lot which I like about this vacation. These 15 days are a real bliss and the reasons are many.....</span></div>

<ul>
<li>The first one being the break which I get from my five weekdays and two weekends routine....I don't even realize the difference between a Monday and a Saturday there...no track of time.</li>
<li>The process of getting some new clothes stitched....time to take out vibrant sarees from their hibernation for some special occasions, colorful bangles, binids, jewellery which otherwise are stuffed and sealed in the closet.</li>
<li>Buying out different gifts for everybody ....toys, chocolates for the kids.</li>
<li>The ever increasing list of things to be packed in-spite of several reminders from M to keep it as minimum as possible.</li>
<li>The look on M's face when I have already stuffed three huge bags with my stuff..so he has to pick up another small one for his clothes..which looks non-existent in comparison to my baggage.</li>
<li>Meeting different people from neighborhood, sharing life...answering their curious questions...sometimes funny...sometimes annoying...</li>
<li>The endless laughter, teasing, long chit chats, candid camera moments, kids crying n quarelling, shopping sessions...</li>
<li>The detailed and minute preparations of festivals from lighting diyas to the Laxmi Ganesh pooja, from sweets to the food, from dressing up to firing crackers, from seeking blessing to the cracker competitions..</li>
<li>The fun filled and wonderful rangoli making by all the ladies of the house, trying to make a better one each year.</li>
<li>Hearing people being addressed by different salutations ...dadi, dadaji, chachu, chachi, bade papa, badi mummy...so sweet from the the boring uncle and aunty...</li>
<li>Playing non stop with my niece and nephews.........cricket, ludo, chess..lol..remembering our childhood days.</li>
<li>Making of thekuas (traditional home made biscuits) specifically for chath in the morning, whose making process totally amuses n delights me and so does the taste.</li>
<li>The sweet melodious traditional folk chath songs playing all over the place loudly which I love to hear though I am at short of understanding the lyrics.</li>
<li>Getting up at dawn and to get all decked up to go to the ghat (river bank) for the auspicious chath pooja.</li>
<li>The decoration, the lighting, the crowd, the color, the boats at the ghat...making the place picturesque as if some film shooting is going on.</li>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have a habit of keeping a small diary and a pen handy in my bag...who knows when I remember anything I have to do and I don't have something to note it down for reminding me later. And thus adding things one by one transforms into a list.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEholm58zpGhPtzf_0jqJ0zXh9mo2TCkPWsAf7cnh7PSWwkpq4DLTEwdnikHzczbP-o7qFu02O_fnL3ebzFvXl2ZG7C1Tz-1iBwD25mo7K8sXVJMK9ttDpgZTD8iEZY7dIpEhyphenhyphenf0JITwRCE/s1600/Love+lists.jpg" />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I have a list for everything...to-do list, grocery list, laundry list, to alter, to buy, to cook and sometimes (this may sound weird) list of clothes I have so that I can make out which all colors are there in my wardrobe and for which one I need to shop :P. And if I have to travel...the list of clothes to pack...things to take..medicines...camera...charger..etc etc. Give me a pen and paper and I would be lost in thoughts with these two gadgets and my unending lists....so much that I have been declared suffering from <b><i>Listomania</i></b> by M. And so much for the mania that my pocket diary needs to be renewed quite periodically.... some people who know me question that how do I come up with various topic for these list of mine..And I reply them promptly with quoting many advantages of this habit. I am an obsessive list maker. I really enjoy the sense of accomplishment by crossing the tasks off. Done. Finished. Mission Accomplished..... I like lists so much that if I accomplish something that wasn't previously on list I write it down so that I can mark it off. Lists are often the core of my daily planning, the directions of what needs to be done next. Despite the fact that you may be having an iPad or an Android, there is nothing like scribbling on a piece of paper. Putting your to do task is on paper refine your focus...you see it and hence you are committed.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://www.businessbyjanice.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/to-do.jpg" />
</span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A practical example would be of last year when one of my ex-roommate was getting married and she was in process of doing up her new house..she kept calling me asking what else she needs to buy for kitchen or in cosmetics...as she was short on time and did not want to miss on anything important...and when she found my list mailed to her covering all the required kitchen items and the cosmetics list (which I had made before my wedding)..she was more than overjoyed and really praised me for my this habit :))))</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">How many times it has happened that you plan and leave home with what things you have to shop in your mind and you come back realizing that you have missed on a couple of things and cribbing on how you will have to go all over again for that...and if it was like urgent then God only help you to tread back to the market facing dreading traffic. So if you were having a list of things noted on a piece of paper, it would have been nearly impossible to overlook and forget it. I have really been caught in these situations before, hence these lists. This habit of mine helps me to be systematic and plan out my day according to the activities as per their importance. So I don't face the question of missing out on important things.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This habit can not only help you in your personal life but as well as your professional life. For eg.. If you are heading a team, that is working on a large complex project with so many tasks to be done and so many people doing them, that staying abreast of all seems unmanageable. You can use your to do list in this situation to help stay organised by structuring your list by team members, writing out tasks and deadline for every person on the project. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It's not that I am alone who is stuck with this habit, there are many and hence there are number of tools or apps that help you out in creating your to-do list. <span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Well, it's simply too hard to remember everything that you have to do. If you don't write it down, you will probably forget it or remember it at the wrong time (for example remembering what you should have told your boss today as you are just about to go to sleep at night). </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;">The point of making all these lists is not to be a compulsive list making person! There are some powerful benefits in making these lists. It helps you to get these items out of your head and onto a storage system where you can remember to do them when the time is right. Also, it makes it easy to get into action because the appropriate list of actions that you can take is there waiting for you. It's also valuable to separate the different types of items because you can deal with them more powerfully when you have listed them in related groups. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once you get into this habit, you will certainly be more organized and more effective. Another great benefit is that you can also be more relaxed. You don't have to worry about what you need to do because you have clarified it and written it down. This frees up your mental energy to focus on more creative and interesting tasks than remembering what you have to do. And because you have an appropriate reminder system, it is a lot less likely that you will miss things that you have committed to do. </span></span></div>
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: -webkit-auto;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Some of the advantages of making list are listed below:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Organizes your mind ( brings order to chaos...clear your mental clutter)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Saves on time and effort</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Relieve stress</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Help us from procrastinating</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Beats workload</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Feel good factor (a visual proof that we have done our tasks)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So now if anybody makes fun of this habit of yours, you can surely give these feel good tips. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 21px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">List makers are successful, and if you don’t believe me — check out this fact. Madonna, Ellen Degeneres, Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson and Martha Stewart have all been known to keep lists. </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Being able to accomplish your goals is one of the secrets of success. </span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well now its time to cross off another task on my to do list ...????.....that of penning my thoughts on my blog :)))))</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; padding-bottom: 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Get out a piece of paper and pen or open a new document and start listing. Just try it – and if it doesn’t help you stay focused and complete your tasks, I want to hear about it. Also will like to know who all have this habit (mania) along with me :)))</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Keep reading n writing too :P</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cGu27JEjv0o/UFF2uY3E4RI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/69OQvn0o33A/s1600/8f2e23bc-b8f4-47c2-8d7c-e3cc93c4955ewallpaper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cGu27JEjv0o/UFF2uY3E4RI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/69OQvn0o33A/s400/8f2e23bc-b8f4-47c2-8d7c-e3cc93c4955ewallpaper.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Finally...this was a long pending one....So much of thinking & researching has gone into this that it was imperative for me to share with you, dear readers, the almost six months ordeal in deciding on the car to buy along with the various other incidents associated with it. The dream was there long before but was not able to materialize sometimes due to the financial crunch and sometimes due to the indecisive munch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The car which was there in mind at that point of time(needs to be mentioned as the time frame is really important to understand the whole process) was the very successful new Swift by Maruti Suzuki....a well tested and a popular car...also within our budget. Every time I asked M, when will we go to book the car, now that the model is decided....he would tell me to first decide which car to buy then only we can book it...and I would reply back frustrated that it has been already decided that we are going to buy Swift....and would blame him saying that 'you don't want to buy the car now, that's why you are fooling me around'. And then came in the very BIG question - PETROL or DIESEL? and believe you me that finding an answer to this dreadful question had been a tedious one...full of confusions, suggestions, decisions, realizations...at the end a draining one...But the answer had to be found. So here began the drive to find it. I was joined in this journey by a very close friend of mine who was also planning to buy a car. I would also like to add here that the main reason for this question to pop up in our minds was the ever increasing prices of petrol and the speculation that the it will soon touch Rs. 100/litre. And just for your reference, all this was happening around July 2011.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Once the motive was set, began the big research...browsing net for the benefits, features, differences, the pros cons of each one. Hundreds and thousands of different opinions...each for his own..made us all the more confused. Websites like team bhp (got to know the full form of BHP...an addition to the vocab - Brake Horse Power), cardekho.com, carwale.com were read for the reviews and the discussions, various links shared and news releases to update each other on the information found. Every get together was a battleground when we used to start a discussion on this topic and were told literally to shut up if we want to talk on this matter. Anyhow our search or I would say research was going on and it was learnt that now there is a major rise in the diesel cars being sold due to the ever increasing petrol prices, the better fuel economy and the subsidy enjoyed on the diesel prices. Also the fact that we have to shell out extra Rs. 1.25 lakhs for the diesel variant for the same car, which was really depressive at that point of time which would stretch our budget a way too much. Again major permutation & combinations, calculations on mileage, on time needed to reach the break even point when we would start reaping benefits on our diesel engine and of course the pricing. The extra servicing and maintenance charges for the diesel engine which will add to the recurring cost as compared against petrol engine which is a more silent and smooth one. Suggestions from people that the first car should always be a petrol one as it is easier to drive and smooth.....Ohhhh God...so much to break our head for. Reading comparisons, sort of interviewing our car owning friends to get their views and getting yet again a plethora of diverse biased answers...confusing to the core...enough to drive us nuts!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">After much brainstorming, Swift Diesel....and can u believe that it took us six months to make a decision and we planned to book it in January 2012 as the waiting period was around 6-8 months..well enough time to arrange for finances. So finally we went to the maruti showroom for a test drive and to see & feel the car physically. Saw the car..bombarded the sales guy with a volley of questions...this that..what not..his views on the car..the diesel or the petrol...And there he demonstrated his best sales skills and tried to lure us for the petrol one and the offers on it. The reason being that the diesel was already selling like hot cake...the need was to market the petrol one. But we were also well researched and determined & the plan was still the same to buy a diesel variant. As we were checking out the leg space, head space, boot size, interiors etc....we saw the showcased dzire next to the swift..so started exploring that as well just for fun and found out that it was more spacious than the swift with a nice interior. So again there was this moment of indecision which compelled us to rethink. And soon enough came the news update from Maruti about the new swift Dzire to be launched in the first week of February with lot more new features at a lesser price than the current dzire. Hence, again a visit to the showroom to inspect the new car and then a unanimous decision to buy the new Swift Dzire! And as if this was not enough, there was a news of the price hike by Govt.on the diesel cars to earn profits, from 1st April onwards post budget. Speculations were there that the hike can be upto an amount of Rs. 80,000 and this being the major concern for us as we were already overbudget. But to our relief, with the help of my brother in law, we would get the car before April. So finally the car was booked on the 6th day of February. and the colour?....offcourse it has to be the much dzired Midnight BLACK....We were also concerned about the financing part but by God's grace, were able to arrange it. I was so excited about the car and then there was this blast from our landlord to vacate the house as he required it for one of his family commitments. All the happiness subsided. All frustrated, we started searching for the new flat, almost forgetting the car. We got a call on 4th of March informing us that the car has been dispatched from the plant and would reach the showroom within 10 days. This was a great piece of news as we were getting the car exactly after one month of booking and that too before the price hike. But the house hunting had overshadowed all our excitement and happiness. On 6th of March, we finalized the home and now was the time for celebration and shopping for the car as in the cushions, the Ganpati idol etc etc.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Not everything went smooth after that, as we were told by our pundit that the time will not be auspicious to get a new vehicle or for house shifting after 13th March for about a month due to some bad times......and of that 11th and 13th being the most auspicious days...less than a week to plan everything..so requested the car dealer to at least make the car available on 11th just for the pooja and will collect the vehicle on 13th after the registration is done...so did car pooja on 11th morning followed by house pooja in the evening....then again the final shifting on 13th...trying to get it done by evening so that can go to get the delivery of my much dreamed car...but alas! shifting did not finish on time and the delivery was taken by B-I-L on 13th March 2012.... how disappointed I was....nothing went as per the plan...</span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">But at least everything was done as per the religious sentiments of our parents and at the end of the day we were happy to get them done as scheduled as it is not everyday that one buys a vehicle.....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">AND now I am a proud owner of my BLACK beauty...my much planned and cherished car...enjoin the long drives with friends....the endless rains...music masti....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Today its exactly six months when we brought her home.......and now about the amazing feeling which I get on driving my beloved.......these words come to my mind........</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b>I AM LOVING IT :))))</b></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">He is fondly called as SRK...King Khan...Baadshah of Bollywood...King of Bollywood...It stands true...for me he is <b><i>The</i></b><i><b> Icon of Romanticism. </b>A</i>s far as I can recollect...I understood the meaning of love...romance by watching his films. I liked him from his initial movies..Deewana, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, Darr, Baazigar, Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na, Anjaam, Karan Arjun..but it was RAJ of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, an all time Blockbuster, who totally floored me...so much so that I had decided to name my son Raj...stupid me...but I cannot tell how much I love this movie...can watch it for number of times...From that time, till now he has been my favourite actor and with no doubt he will be so for the rest of my life. I remember having hundreds of postcards, paper cuttings of him and his movie scenes. I had bought a life size poster of SRK for my room which my mother never approved to paste it...how much I was dissappointed with that and had treasured the poster in my wardrobe till my college days...Really don't remember when I </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">misplaced it.</span>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Some people have it all...fame, money, luxuries easily inherited, while some have to achieve great success and reach the place where they stand with their head held high up with lot of hard work...A perfect example of a self made man is Shahrukh Khan. Born in a very normal family with no filmy background who has seen everything in life...financial crisis...parent's death...the battle for his love Gauri...but through his hard work and a self belief..he has come so far as a shining star. He is someone who is confident and commands respect. His success story is amazing...how has he created a niche for himself. Whatever people might say about him but I respect him for the very fact that he is a simple man...very much devoted to his family, who has come so far and the attitude about which the world talks about is what makes a person star...makes him stand out...Starting his career from a tv serial to an actor with 14 Filmfare Awards and a Padma Shri Award for his immense contribution to Indian Cinema, in his kitty...he has come a long way and there is no looking back....</span><br />

I have read the inspirational talk he gave at Yale school many times..He addressed his talk as his experiences. Every word of it reflects how simple a man he is.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">There is this college reunion scheduled next week and I am already excited about it. My brain has started visualizing in advance...a perfect dress for the evening as by now you all must know that I am way too much into planning. Though I have been promising myself daily to go home and decide the dress for the party but have been caught with some work or other. So yesterday after realizing that its high time and with just two days left, I should better sort this out. And thinking this, I opened my closet and after 30 minutes of close examination, I made this big statement in front of my husband - "I don't have anything to wear" to which my husband quipped promptly : As usual...you never have anything to wear.....and shifted his glare at the everlasting Euro cup on television as if nothing has happened. How I hate his indifference here ((((:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Sometimes I think "is this only with me...some kind of disorder or is this the case with everyone or its better to say with every girl???? After discussion with my bunch of friends...all girls...I was relieved to find out that I am not alone. But one thing is still a puzzle for me...How come boys don't face this problem...I mean what takes 5 hours for a girl to decide to wear, a boy is ready to go in 5 minutes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So after tossing this question to my male friends and my husband of course...I am presenting a sum up of their view point of this whole scenario....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">"It is not that by any chance girls have lesser clothes in their wardrobe than boys....but it is the storming thought process which goes at the back of the mind of every girl when deciding what to wear for the event. Some of the most common questions which pop up in a girl's mind that are decision maker are listed below:</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- What should I wear for the party : Indian or something western?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- What will Riya (hypothetical name) wear for the party?</span></b></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Would this be too casual or too formal?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">****And when finally it is decided to wear western*****</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Should I wear an evening gown or a short dress?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Am I looking fat in this one? ( Top rated question)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Which color is 'IN' nowadays?...is it suiting me?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- When was last I wore this dress? ( Another important one!)</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- I wore the same dress to the new year party 3 months ago....What will Siya think?..that I have only one dress...</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Do I have a matching bag and shoes to go with the dress?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- What about the accessories???? What's in trend....a statement neck-piece or studded earrings???</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Will I look nice in this outfit?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Is this uncommon??? What if Diya also wears the same color?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">- Will everybody notice..will I look different?</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Well, the endless questions......with the only motive "To give other girls an inferiority complex and stand out from the crowd, thus making a fashion statement."</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And this whole world out here thinks that girls dress up to get a boy's attention....Yes, they do but after winning accolades and stares from their girly gang...while boys dress for themselves...or may be for girls..."</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I personally feel that it is not the jealousy or attention but because girls have so many options to choose from and that is what confuses them to the core....And it is every girl's birth right to look their best in their every outfit. Hence, the thought process and the time. Cheer up girls....We rock!!!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So my dear readers, I leave this discussion open only to know what you have to say on this matter.....Guys and gals...shoot out your opinion....</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Nothing is more relaxing than coming back to a home that is neat and clean.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Everybody has a house to live in but to make a house into a home need consistent efforts. Its not a day's work. You have to nurture your home like a baby. Creativity and interest is all you need to make your house clean and beautiful which gives back immense pleasure and happiness....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So here are some tips which I religiously follow and feel will help you too to make your house a delight to live in. I have added some things which I have incorporated myself under the title 'My Home' after each point to give a real life example.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Expensive is not always rainbows and butterflies.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is a misconception that you can make your home look beautiful by buying those highly priced vases or wall units from the branded home decor shops. It is your creativity and imagination which can make a 100 Rs. flower vase add that charm & exquisiteness to your home that a costly crystal showpiece can't. Its how you place it.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"># My Home</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A simple earthen pot filled with water and fresh floating flowers at the entrance of my house. As per Vaastu Shastra, it adds water element to your place and spreads positivity. You can also place two ceramic pots with plants kept on the two sides of the main door. Adds to the greenery.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xZkDIQ0tOiE/T-QSpMX5myI/AAAAAAAAAnA/IzOgNiPIs68/s1600/1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-xZkDIQ0tOiE/T-QSpMX5myI/AAAAAAAAAnA/IzOgNiPIs68/s400/1.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Have a home for each of your belongings.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b style="background-color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Cultivate a habit of placing things back to their home. This is one simple habit, which if followed can make your home organized and systematic with less effort. For this to happen, you need to make sure that there is a proper place allotted to every thing in the house. For eg. Have a separate folder or file for different type of documents as in certificates, bank related documents, your bill etc, a key hanger for all the keys, a laundry bag for all the dirty clothes so that these things are not littered around the house and it is difficult for you to find them when required. This will help you not to panic when there is some unexpected company!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"># My Home</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A box made as a medical kit for keeping all the medicines and related things at one place in case of an emergency. An instrument box containing the screwdriver, nut-bolts, scissors, pliers etc...</span><br />

<b style="background-color: #f6b26b;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Add a dash of color. Paint one wall and make a style statement!</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Are you bored of seeing the monotonous white/creme walls of your house? Want to do something hatke....Spice things up and make a style statement by painting one wall of your room with some bold accent color. Pick the wall that comes first before your eyes when you walk into the room. It is really amazing how one wall can change EVERYTHING. Painting one wall is a cheap and easy task that even you can do in couple of hours by the various painting options available nowadays. And the best thing is, can change the color to give an altogether new look!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"># My Home</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Painted each wall of a room in bright goldfish orange color As per Vaastu, Orange symbolizes power and spirituality. This color encourages happiness, optimism, healthy relationships, and much more.</span><br />

<b style="background-color: #f6b26b; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Bathroom is as important as your Bedroom.</span></b></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Bathroom is a place ignored by most of us and there is nothing worse than a stinking bathroom. Waking up to the foul smell when you go there to re-freshen up to begin your day is depressing. Your bathroom should smell good, keep room fresheners, deodorizing sprays handy. Do away with all the empty shampoo bottles, unused towels and dirty clothes. Your bathroom is not a dumping place. Make sure to keep your bathroom dry. You can use colorful bath curtains to add that sparkle to your bathroom. Color coordinate your bath utilities with the color of tiles. However neat you may keep your home, if the bathroom is shabby...it steals up your brownie points.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><b># My Home</b>
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Have a separate pair of sleepers for bathroom so that there are no wet stains all over the room after coming out from the bathroom. A floor wiper to help to keep the bathroom dry. Color coordination also looks cool.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It is this part of house that needs special attention as this is the place where a meal is prepared to be enjoyed after a day of hard work. So, kitchen has to be clean and hygienic as 'hygiene is two thirds of your health'. Make a habit to clean your gas stove at the end of the day when all the cooking has been done as this will prevent the growth of bacteria and cockroaches. Also have a electrical chimney fitted which will be a good investment as it saves your kitchen from the oiliness on the walls and to the other rooms. You can also add little bit of decoration to your kitchen to give it a soothing effect. Colorful crockery aesthetically displayed beautifies your kitchen. You can also go for modular kitchen as per your budget as it helps to give your kitchen a very systematic and organized look.</span></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Do you have a habit of keeping all your old magazines, clothes and belongings. Due to our busy schedule, we don't have the time to see what is being used and what not, and over a period of time our house is full with all the unwanted things. When this clutter keeps accumulating, make your house disorganized, its time to get rid of this clutter. Donate old clothes to someone needy, sell old magazines and books in the books market, remove all that is not needed and will not be useful in near future. Decide the size of your furniture according to the size of the room. Over-sized furniture can make your room look very cramped. Placing number of showpieces together can steal the look of all, a beautiful single center piece will get highlighted automatically. Experiment with the placement of your furniture to make your room beautiful and synchronized. Do away with all the old broken things which cannot be repaired and be put to use.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b># My Home</b>
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;">Instead of keeping too much decorating stuff and making the place look overdone, keep a single eye catching showpiece to accentuate a specific corner of your house.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #f6b26b;"><b>Your refrigerator is not a dump-yard...</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is a very common site to see things stuffed up in the fridge and one thing falling in order to find another one. Try to empty your fridge to clean and you will be amazed on seeing the things coming out of it. It will be difficult for you to recall keeping these things in the fridge. It is very easy for your fridge to become a dump yard of all the left over of the kitchen kept inside with an intention of consuming it at the earliest. But neither it is consumed nor it is thrown away. Fridge is a place to preserve perishable food items along with the excess food to prevent wastage. It is not a storage. It is very important to get it cleaned frequently to maintain its hygiene and increase its longevity.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b># My Home</b>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nowadays refrigerator come with transparent unbreakable shelves and it is prone to scratches from the utensils kept to store food. I have placed surplus dining table mats on each shelf which keeps it free from scratches and is easier for the cleaning of the fridge as I have to just wipe off the mats. It also enhances the interior of the fridge.<br />

You can add a hint of you personality to give that interesting facelift to your home.One of the best ways to showcase your personality and decor style is by adding up family photos in ares they're most likely to be seen.

A family photograph highlighting the center wall of the dining hall and some wonderful moment captured in a wooden frame placed just above the bed adds to the look of the bedroom. Also a nameplate having the first name of both of you on the main door looks unique.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
How often you get late to office or for a party just because you are able to find out that specific stuff which you decided to wear, out of the swarm of clothes in your wardrobe or you are not able to find your favorite eyeliner in your over flooding make up kit. Another common scene is of the strewn clothes all over the bed to search for that one dress. It is very important to keep your closet organized to avoid being caught in such situation on a daily basis. Stack all your daily wear clothes in front and all the party wear occasional dresses stacked in the uppermost drawers.You can hang all your stoles and scarves in the hanger so that you don't have to take them all out to find a matching one. Buy saree and blouse covers to keep all your traditional wear nicely tucked in. This gives a neat look to your wardrobe, thus saving those crucial minutes before leaving home for something important</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It just need little bit of creativity and imagination to get something useful out of useless. Your old torn out jeans can be made into a very big and beautiful bag to carry vegetables or your laundry. Old t-shirts, if properly cut can be used as a very efficient wiping cloth for kitchen due to its absorbent qualities or a dusting cloth. Old transparent jars can be used as a plant holder filled with water and multicolored stones. Your torn silk saree can be utilized for making very elegant cushion covers. Random multicolored thrown out pillows on the couch can jazz up your living room. The list is endless....</div>

Due to lack of space to keep the newspaper, I have covered a carton properly to make it a newspaper holder. It saves on my space in the almirah which can be used to store something more useful. Old carton wrapped up with beautiful gift wrapping papers to convert them into side tables for bed. Save on the cost as well as the efforts while shifting the house.<br />
