Birthday Wish for My friend

Happy Birthday Twinny

Dear Twinny,

Wishing you a very Happy Birthday!

Not that it has been your birthday, I thought to remind and remember the best of moments. But I truly think that over the years the way we have been able to transform, my each and every moment spent together has been special. It is one of the best feeling to have someone in life whom you can relate and someone who doesn't need to be explained everything and understands exactly the way the things, thoughts and beliefs need to be felt. You have been sure the one I can count on closing my eyes.

What truly surprises me the power I get thinking to know that you are always there for me present for me. It's funny that it is you birthday and I'm talking of thyself. The reason is that I feel blessed and to me you are the best gift I posses. The distance was and shall never be an issue I guess. Hence, it was always easy and comforting to bridge up my thoughts and other long talks with you.

All those silly talks of teletubbies, beating, hitting, falling over tangled playing in the playground, fighting only to care more,loving, hugging, planning mischief, supporting and fainting in school morning assemblies, that first cappuccino we had the hub in CCD, the Chinese lunch at NYC and also when I saw you on your wedding shimmering in gold and glitters, been the moments I share and heartily treasure.

Thank you for being the best memory of my childhood, where I love to move into the trail of comfort, joy and bliss.

Here is the snap of one of my page from my autobiography, written almost a decade ago, in Year2002 and interestingly on your birthday.

My life is happier because of you.
My heart is fuller because of you.
My soul feels wholesome because of you.
I'm a better person because of you.
I'm blessed to have you in my life!

Hope we get more such wonderful memories to cheer on, cherish and celebrate. May all the pieces of your puzzle fall perfectly into place, all your desires and dreams come true, putting you to see and enjoy the joyous future with a great companionship.

Here wishing you a very Happy Birthday Twinny!

Its My Hair

This post is written as a part of personal post yet in connection with Indiblogger and Dove for the contest of 'My beautiful hair story'.

HHair are the best and greatest assets one can possess. The hair could help greatly in boosting your physical appearance. Good hair simply enhances the way you look. It’s like no matter how beautiful one looks but if the hair are messy, it greatly affects you. Not that absolutely easy to maintain the lustre of your hair. You need to be conscious and have to follow a certain simple rules despite being so busy.

Few days back I noticed couple of white hair in my scalp. Instantly I was worried and wondered what caused such effect. Was it only my age that I was growing old and should take it as a compliment? My God! Who would like to be identified as an intellectual on the basis of number of white hair strand in head? Definitely not me the one to appreciate the famous saying ‘Yeh baal dhoop mein safed nahi kiye hain '

Seriously ... no seriously I was worried! I thought what could have been the cause to it. Being a biology student in school, I knew the basic structure of hair and how it was made and what one must do maintain good healthy skin and hair.

I was having a good food, good sleep and no stress. So what was wrong with my hair. Hmm.. Negligence, I figured out. Being on travel plans for months, frequent change of water, extreme climate changes, pollution all resulted to bad hair.

I needed to work over it. Do something. If not today then I could never save it. Since we all know ones hair turned white can never be turned black. Yet I knew that I needed to prevent the new hair which grows must not grow white.

I started with few things which my mom used to do when I was a child to take care of my hair.
I had to turn back to basics even if it means putting oil for hours. It is hard to maintain the glossiness and shine of hair. Indeed, there are so many types of hair which makes it hard for one to maintain it. Some people might have thick but dry hair; others might have thin but normal hair. And still there are those who have oily hair, thick and very curly. Now, no matter what type of hair you have, you can follow some simple secrets, few old techniques at home in order to maintain healthy hair.

1. Oil massage every alternate days. (olive oil or coconut oil)
2. Sometimes added lemon juice in oil and massaged it.
3. Of course lemon is rich and raw source of Vitamin C. It also helps to cure dandruff if any.
4. Massaging hair roots with egg raw in head. It might smell hell but adding lemon in it can prevent excess smell.
5. Getting a trim and also chopping of the spilt ends.
6. Not brushing hair when they are wet or damp.
7. Never sleeping with wet hair, it weakens the hair roots.
8. Do not keep changing your shampoo too frequently. Choose the correct shampoo and conditioner for your hair. (Simple! Stick to Dove!)
9. Wash twice a week. Let hair gets dried naturally at room temperature and avoiding use of hair dryer.
10. Keeping hair tied properly yet loosely while sleeping. May be simple braids shall help.
11. Try covering the head with the umbrella, cap or scarf while being in sun.
12. Apply warm green tea (two bags brewed in one cup of water) on your scalp and leave this mixture on for an hour and then rinse. It is believed that since green tea contains antioxidants it prevents hair loss and boost hair growth. One can use normal tea water too, but it might give some reddish shade colour to your hair.
13. I personally love to put the henna (natural dye for hair), soaked in tea-water overnight in an iron pan/bowl, mixed with ample of lemon juice and an egg (optional) and applied in hair for few hours until the mixture gets dried and then thoroughly washed away.
14. Sometimes I love to add the curd to my hair and leaving it for couple of hours. Absolute natural conditioner.
15. Eating healthy like fruits and vegetables, lots of Lemon, orange juice and eat eggs every day.

I’m genetically blessed with good hair.
Hence, it wasn't that difficult to protect them before any severe damage of hair quality. The efforts could be a bit time consuming but little things help hair in a long run. And honestly, it's never to late to show a little care.

Long time back when I used to use the dove soap for my skin, I used to wonder what if this beautiful brand, dove comes up in India with some shampoo too. Had I got it earlier I would have saved a lot of money, energy and time in trying out number of hair products.

Today, I feel extremely happy to personally use the Dove products and whole shampoo combo are extremely wonderful for hair which have reduced the tension of following the routine of  grandmother's tips rule book.

Now I travel just as frequently as ever, yet I need not worry or fear for the bad hair day(s), I stick to dove to fix my hair. And absolutely that was an end of my hair problems and beginning of the lustrous, soft, healthy hair.

There lies a strength in accepting the situation and as the things are but not caring at all in any circumstance is a foolishness.
Care as they are your hair!
Share care with dove!!

Only Lonely Alone - Ola

Only - Lonely - Alone, Ola! Welcome to Emotions!

FYI: "Hola" means Hello. In Spanish, the "h" is always silent. "Ola" means "wave." Not like a literal ocean wave but waving hand to say hello or Goodbye.
~ Lets find 'h', the hidden existing harmony in Ola through this post!

The picture below is contributed by very talented photographer 'Sandeep Rathod'! Do check his awesome unique art of photography by clicking on his name below.

FFirst time, it was asked to me when I was a little girl just school pass out heading to give interviews to some big management school. They asked me to give my intro before they throw any tactic question. You know well how these Dean and expert panel try to screw you when they know how badly you want to get in that particular college.

Just as I was say things... “name...lala....lalalalal.....my interest...hobbies..lalallaa...”
“Tell us something about your family...” the Dean with a big moustache asked.
“lala..lla.a..a.....lallallla....I’m the only child of my parents....lalaala..” just about to continue...
And the Dean interrupted again, “Oh, you mean to say 'lonely' only girl...”
‘um...mm...m...’ I was so surprised to his words, I mean jumble of words. Wondered for a while did I say lonely or only... ‘no..I said 'only' only..obviously..’ I assured myself
‘Sir, I said, Only child!’ I confidently said.
The Dean of college again back fired me to confuse my current state of mind further, ‘Are you sure, because we think you wanted to say only and lonely...llalalla.... ’

Now something about my background,
I was just a school pass-out girl, quiet young with raw thoughts and was prepared to say in a very proportioned measureable words and lines. One word changed would wreck my thought-process completely. I was quite a teen still trying to find a quote of a life to follow.

‘Only – Lonely -Alone’ words echoed in my head then...just like a seventh grade student gives a second thought to words like ‘Accept - Expect - Except’

Then and there I fought back politely of course and assured that I was not confused. What I said is what I meant. They cannot further manipulate my lines and my briefs. And I came out with flying colours (lalala....lala...) getting admission for that college. However, I didn’t join that college since I had got a better option than that best college.

“But latter I did think about those words. You know some little words sometimes can echo your whole life. Remember I was trying to find a quote of my life to follow...
I think, ‘quote of life’ sounds better and inspiring than the ‘purpose of life’. This purpose could pierce any person’s potential. What is the purpose of doing this, purpose of that, what is the purpose of life, what is the purpose of writing..
Honestly, tell those big philosophers that sometimes what matters the most in life is not the purpose question but what values the most in life is passion in living, anyways...

Then, one fine day I sat quietly and tried to figure out the difference between the words and more important figured out who and what I was or I am! As a child and being it was essential for me to realise and retrieve my peace of mind. It was like an identification to figure out how few words could influence your life.

Only: Well being only child of my parents was by default. I cannot change that. It is a unique by virtue experience. Yet I do understand and appreciate the importance of a bond between siblings. But then I need not share my parents attention with anyone is always an absolute pleasure. I understand how significant I am to them. And hence I do realise the need my parents possess. I love my parents just as much as their decisions and choices. What else and what more, well honestly, I owe my smile to them! That’s it!

Lonely: I was never lonely. I was always occupied by artistic people and creative ideas. Love friendship art food travel fabric always occupied my mind and heart. And whenever I was a bit drained or little stressed out, I made sure expressing it in a form of sketching or writing. Sure sometimes you feel like talking or hearing to someone, in person. Every time a virtual world cannot console ones soul. I heard music. I tuned myself into good memories. Some very vintage feeling always was rejuvenating. One needs to accept the circumstance happily. It is a process of learning and doing something more productive in that missing slot.
My simple mantra was ‘Let’s make something Lovely to beat the Lonely’

Alone: I better use the word ‘Solitude’ rather than alone person. I recognised that I was alone but not lonely. It was something I had chosen. But when I said I was alone, I sure had bunch of warm affectionate people around. And I am grateful to their support, their help and their presence. It means a lot. It goes good with the quote of Helen Keller _"Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." I wasn't lonely, but the trail to discover my quote of life was up to me and my own efforts – alone.

Yet being alone I realized I was not alone and isolated from anyone at all. I discovered my wishfulness, pining and yearning were such universal urging emotions. We, each one of us have our own little battles to fight and win over gracefully.

Some fought their battle crying, some cribbing and some crawling. Well there was less physical pain so I fought my battle with creativity, doddle and scribble.

And I am not at all complaining to anything I swear! I know, I just conquered it all

I became more thoughtful, grasp to use emotions in expression, comprehend colours and creativity in life, respect little moments, remember little words and adore daily delights. I still have my desires, my dreams, and some accomplishing wishes and they are still heart-felt as today as they were ten years ago.
It’s funny to see how life unfolds throughout the years all in little words and little moments.
'To forget' is not my trait at all. I like the archive of mind.
I love to cherish and find joy in every jiffy moment to celebrate. And I suppose this is why, you are reading here!

“I still think it’s not just the way you think changes everything in your life. Nothing changes overnight. Of course if you are blessed you do get miracles overnight but they are rare. It is a habit and one must practice it. Getting used to, to anything is easy to adapt by human beings. So getting used to, to the pain, anger and lonesome will ultimately give you the same in return. Practice into habit being passionate, compassionate, creative, cheerful and productive. You need to keep you status of mind Happy mode to Heal quickly.

No wonder, I do get angry, irritated most of the times, cry when no one watches, and shout when I feel like. After all you are a human being with emotions (Of course not a good excuse to give for your bad mood). But, honestly I’m bad in hiding true emotions, whatever it mean by the status of mind, I mean it. And when those emotions are negative I’m at my purest form. I do feel hurt and awful at times. But eventually I do know I have to recoil back to my real realm of revival.
Only - Lonely - Alone, Ola! Welcome to emotions!
Well this is how I would like to conclude my post... wait...there is no specific purpose behind this post, just pure emotions and random churning of stimulating thoughts.

be busy
be lazy
be honest
be rude
be playful
be bold
be beautiful
be aggressive
be polite
be angry
be ready
be humble
be calm
be caring
be happy
be real
be yourself
be the best you are
They are just few true emotions!
Never apologize for showing your feeling.
Sentiments shine because you are divine alive.

Celebrity Crush

Please do READ Part 1 of this post..Meeting a Celebrity

“Another hypothetical situation my friend said...
Imagine if some fine day we together get a chance to meet Salman Khan in person...what will happen..??!

We for a minute tried to visualise the aura and in started describing....

“We two girls shall get a chance to meet Salman Khan in a show and we go to see him. He is on the couch sitting and waiting to meet his two big fans. We enter see him, say ‘Hi’ to him and latter to start a conversation we start describing him, which movie we loved watching in which he has worked. With a non-stop notion we continue to discussing about his movies, songs, sequence, acts, style and so on..."

A casual and an unplanned conversation which was supposed to be cool and calm with no panic attack ends up actually hyper. We girls wonder shouldn't a celebrity be happy and excited listening thyself brilliant stories live from his fans.

Yet we assumed that same time watching his fans, Salman Khan gets bored with our constant talk about movies and songs. He puts a thought to think and act normal. Hence, behaves just as a normal guy tries to divert our girly conversation and makes an effort to know about our _fan's life, our daily routine life is like?

We reply, that’s pretty boring topic to talk about us, how about that movie you have worked in...We continued bluffing! Ultimately we shut up Salman Khan from talking and ask him to listen about our girls talk. We indeed are busy talking about his movies and much detail of the scenes and dialogues that we of course have by hearted.

Salman Khan gets bored, irritated simultaneously and leaves the room at ones.
Amazingly We THE Girls are still constantly busy in discussing and chatting about the songs and expressions of the movies of Salman Khan.

The crew of the show rushes behind him and asks him to please continue the show. At last Salman Khan breaks his silence and says ‘Hum toh anth mein Bolenge’(We'll give our opinion at the last..)(a dialogue from his movie Hum Apke Hain Kaun) and walks away”

Ahh! Nothing stands strong not even daring Salman Khan can stand bravely against the constantly chatting girls.

Perhaps, a dream comes true with a twist.

Between, what it’s like meeting a celebrity.
They might behave much calm and toned down. Indeed, now we realise we are not crazy to meet Salman Khan yet we insanely wish to meet ‘Prem’ the character hero of the movie, Salman Khan plays.

So let’s expect when we meet our ‘Prem’, he won’t come like walking, he is our hero...NO! He is our super hero, and hence he shall come swinging over the chandelier with his catapult armed with a ‘genda phool’(kind of flower).

And just when I was going through internet surfing to get the best picture I could add for this post it was getting so difficult as each and every photo was excellent and heart-throbbing. And lately then my eyes were glued to see few pics. All the while surfing internet, I was wondering about the beautifully shot scenes of Salman Khan movies. Few brilliant shots of the movies, you will notice in Heart-Beat Love Connection - Series of Love poems on this blog Humming Today!

There is still a lot to share...well wait for the Next Post....you might just fall in love with Prem aka Salman Khan again..and again...just like me...Watch it on this blog in his Birthday, 27th December,2011 for the second part of this post... Yes! It's exactly after one month...
Because 'Patience is bitter but its fruit is sweet!'
So do wait for the sweetness and a sweetheart post!

Meeting a Celebrity

Watch this video and tell me watching it what do you marvel...

What if we get an opportunity to meet Salman Khan in real?
My friend asked me in a casual talk.

I gave a thought for a moment, pretending to give a reply in with a concrete plan of action.
Yet finally sharing a feeling how it would feel to meet Salman Khan in real.

“It’s a dream to meet him. I think it will remain a dream.” I said with a conviction.
To this my friend replied that “don’t lose hope, there will a day in history when we will sure get a chance to meet him, talk with him at least for a while.”

I smiled at her thoughts and again started sharing my moment of truth would look like.

“As I said it will be like a dream come true.
Salman Khan shall be sitting next room waiting to see his fan, I shall be prompted to go ahead and meet The Salman Khan. I shall take some long breaths...really long one then few really steps, with heart beating at the highest pace. A little knock on the door with a slight push to the door and only head leaning into the room to get the glimpse of an actor quickly before I could actually bring my dream in to substance of reality...

And I will see from a distance into his eyes...his deep warm eyes!
And just as his eyes gets my little glimpse across the room from the half opened door...I sure shall faint on the spot!

A great actor with a golden heart, Salman Khan shall ask the other people around to take me to the hospital and he will go back to his work for shooting a movie.

Ahh! I dream to meet Salman Khan shall remain a dream forever for me!"


Its an absolute delight for any fan to meet his or her Celebrity crush or idol and when the big day arrives what...can happen instead what should happen!

Well I know normally you will say...what can happen?

There will be a calm hand shake with a warm hug and a sweet conversation shall take place between the two, the admirer and a celebrity.
Is this all what can happen...well I think if it is so normal...than normally I must get nervous! I still get those shivers with a thought itself of meeting... ;)

And we busted into a huge laughter!

And to my surprise my sweet friend prompted something really funny again.."Seriously, wonder why Salman Khan does not know that we Two girls do exist in this world, who are such a well-wisher and marvel only about him every single moment of life."

The Picture above is the wallpaper of the popular Hindi Bollywood film 'Hum Aapke Hain Kaun' released in yr.1994 featuring Salman Khan aka Prem.

digitally losing

I hate to say that I hate sometimes the thing I love. I mean in simple language that sometimes the things turn such that I tend to dislike the things which I truly adore. This time it is this ugly technology!

Boy..I had a tough time in last few days.
For some reason I wanted certain documents and certificates as a proof. And this became such a challenging job for me. I had to get documents from all the places I have stayed. As per the Government rule I realised I had no certain exactly one certificate to prove all my identity. It is really tough to understand the norms in India. Where sometimes...college or school certificate is verified and yet sometimes they do not get applicable to prove certain issue.
Another issue is how to prove my living statue and present address. For being constantly moving from one place to another and having not stayed to a place more than one year create a havoc to generate the legal document or bunch of documents.

I got no electricity or telephone bill in my name, nor do I got Rashan Card; neither I have Election voter’s card (yep shame on me, I’m +18 yet haven’t voted even ones) but I have a PAN card and a passport yet both of them have the info which is still incomplete to what needed to be submitted. Luckily I’m surviving with bank account and Gas-connection certificate.

“Being educated and literate enough, we still get engrossed about the proving documents limitations. I wonder how the villagers or poor immigrates deal with such issue when they hardly have any prompt certificate except or no Rashan card to prove the stuff in this so called digital world.

I’m still struggling to prove the technology at its best as it does not lend a hand to the helpless deprived citizens.

How do you feel when you are working on the computer on words or excel sheet and you forget to save a document and it gets erased or how about your laptop hanging or windows crashing resulting to lose all the files...!!

How would you feel when you see your email account has been hacked and tempered?

Or how would you feel when you care to go for the lamination of your certain important document or certificate to further protect it and you damage your work due to lamination machine heat.

Man! That happened to me actually.
I’m terribly upset for it. But I could not blame anyone nor could I scold much the fellow at work. Besides, the fellow at work was least apologized for his carelessness over a critical issue. It was a technological flaw and I was a sufferer unfortunately. Moreover I’m upset with the casual Indian way of behavior, _chalta-hai...! (_It’s okay we can adjust) kind of attitude.

I do preserve and keep my documents with utmost care in the files...with all kind of segregations. Though my document has been a bit damaged by the machine which is actually used to actually further shield it with transparent sheet to protect it. OMG...my heart sinks!

I’m fuming right this moment in anger for I know I will never get the original certificate back ever and moreover I will get the duplicate-one after lots of efforts, multiplying paper-work, pain and tension for ages...despite of computerized barcode, high-tech technology and machinery.

+ All I know I shall never ever in my life laminate any of my documents.
+ I shall always have a coloured Xerox with me of all my documents.

“I thought to share this story with you so that you could save up all your stuff from such mishaps. Accidents do occur in life and when it’s with legal documents it’s the worst thing that happens.


“This incident reminds me of the moment when in early 90’s my father lost his briefcase right before getting into the train. He was supposed to travel by train to do certain payment of the new house of ours to be build...and on the platform itself; he lost his briefcase due to burglary. The piece of luggage had most of his clothes for it was a long trip, his two major diaries with all the vital details and contacts; most important was the main-file of the house which had all the legal documents, significant bills and payment receipts. And needless to say...he was going for some payment hence he did lose a huge sum of money, which he was saving for certain long period for the same purpose.
He lost it all in a single moment like flash.

It was an era when people contacted each other during emergency through couriers; there were no so called mobiles or computers to get the xerox receipts’ quickly. He came back home empty hand from the station within an hour. I remember how pained he was right when he arrived. He went with my uncle to the police-station to feed a complaint and also in a strange hope to get things back. Thought it was only one legal step. He struggled hard to get the same large hunk of amount soon somehow the same night. It was a moment when he realised as no-one helps when it’s catastrophe moment. None of the relatives had willingly lent a hand to help. Later he borrowed few clothes from my maternal-uncle as he lost almost all his clothes and without a confirmed ticket he went from the other train the same late night.

Perhaps, there was no way available to contact at the earliest to the people to postpone the meeting. That was a sheer financial crisis and had a huge fear of losing some utterly important legal documents of house and other major moments. For a long time he struggled to get another copy of documents of house and stuff by travelling hard to and fro between two cities/states.

+ I still get goose-bumps when I think of that dark moment. It was hard to deal yet he did not give up on anything. It takes a lifetime to build a house perhaps, we could have lost our house too in a split second for we had already lost so many documents and of course no doubt money at that moment was important.

This one incident made us learn many things yet we still struggle with the pain when we thing of losing something. Losing in person, money, legal-document or simply losing a fight by getting stuck in the traffic is sheer painful and utmost hard to deal with.

“However, life is full of these damn tit-bits of absolute twist and turns to prove every instant that we are warriors. And fighting the odd and sailing against the waves through the unconventional path yet possessing rainbow colours at the end has to be human nature.

It is believed that losing hurts but it motivates...hope it does same to all. I’m disturbed with the lost, losing something feels like ruining everything right in a moment yet I shall try hard to bounce back and retrieve the pleasure of joy and earning what I owe to deserve. Wish me luck my dear friends!
+ I wish same spirit to you too for your rough moments.
+ Right now I’m counting my recourses to recollect the trust bond from the one; I expect to gladly lend me a hand before I truly ask for.

Rainbow – seven shades reflects in ME

Chatter Box tagged me to share 7 random facts about me. Below are the seven random facts about me illustrated as the seven shade of the RAINBOW as each point is a unique and reflects my tiny true leaf of the life!

• 1. I suffer from a split personality.

Weird but it is true!
One side I’m a strong woman! Aggressive and every answer with detail, apt knowledge and facts added.
~ And other hand I behave little child, very childish, kiddies, foolish and apparently an utmost dumb.

Like a true Virgo by nature...I have to have the last word in everything and with all the correction! This trait comes to me with my galaxy of stars.
~ Perhaps, on the other hand…you might even notice me to have a last loud laugh, after 10minutes the joke been cracked. Yeah even this comes to me very naturally! Ah! Nobody to blame for this!

Growing old is mandatory but growing up is the choice you make…I wonder why!
Let shuffle the statement above.
Let it make it like this:
~ Growing up is mandatory but growing old is the choice you make!
Now it sounds better :)

RAINBOW in ME ~ Rachi Creations..
CLICK here to ENLARGE

My childish behavior of nature helps me to feel happy…creative and think like a child to dig in the most of extraordinary heights of imagination. So I will never mind to be stuck to this hour of the clock of Life’s innocence.

On the other hand...as my age too suggest…I’m here evolving to a grown up woman. Discovering the heights of circumstances, analyzing billions of emotions in a shot, depths of patterned relationships and waves of silly-billy feelings!

It is here when I get tough…seriously involved into nature!

Perhaps it is the Nature…where I find myself rolling on the green grass ground, enjoying swings, cycling to feel the breeze onto my face and flying kites of desires and dreams!

Don’t you wonder...this split of nature is important…not just sometimes but every time!
~ This split helps to keep up the spark and uphold the smile.

On one hand where I was very much bold and unruffled to anything I did or say…on the other hand I was childish and unpredictable in nature!

My friends always excused me every time…saying that I’m bold as I’m strong minded and I’m childish as I’m creative.
These are not the scattered thoughts…but this is the post where I have be more content then ever…just being and feeling the more of me!

Some might just argue with me…that why do so much of Ga-Ga on i-me-myself!?
Then I do have an answer to this too.
“If I don’t understand myself the best and at the first position…how can I attempt to understand others and the world around.”
~ Hence Ga-Ga is important after all any music is never bad...Listen and Humm around!

• 2. Give and GAIN

I love to give things…or rather I must say I like gifting people and not expecting from them to give me back. Giving hand made greetings or just tiny gifts wrapped with immense love! Gifting comes genuinely to me! ~ As I have been taught at home the more you give the double you get (does this sound like greedy!)…if not today then will get tomorrow is all set. And yes...this philosophy has turned my litmus paper into green. I adore and endorse gifting. Perhaps, Rachi Creations exist and excel!

Not what we give,
But what we share,
For the gift
without the giver
Is bare.
~ James Russell Lowell

• 3. JOURNALS and Journey

Having traveled a lot…I was always taught to write letters to relatives and friends. Today, I tend to scribble nibble on twitter, send mails, blogging and adding comments! And I paramount into each and every letter or tiny word I type. I just mean it! Trust me!

• 4. vibrant Curve on lips

I am proud of all of you who have been brave and bold enough to endeavor out in the 360degree round real world and reflect their true femininity at the fullest.
I still remember my first lipstick bought many years ago for some college function and the shade was suggested my one of my very dear friend. It was PINK PRANK 131 from elle18. Perhaps the name provoked me to buy it and suited me the best.
~ Today, my favorite is shades are Glamshine Sweet Nude and Glamshine Grape Juice from Loreal! These are the easy shade of lipstick in my lives. Though a shift of expensive stuff anyway out of curiosity, they are healthy and safe to skin!
BTW: Never forget any makeup is not bad for skin…bad is when we don’t remove or leave unclean skin while we sleep. Let your skin too breathe a while.

• 5. Sweet tooth Seductions

I like eating Bourbon Biscuits, that to opening the two side and than enjoy licking the chocolate inside. I still do it and love it as forever.
~ LINK : bourbon biscuits - homemade heaven

• 6. Sun shine give Vitamin D, good for Strong Bones

I’ve never broken a bone in my body. Hmm…now you know how strong I’m despite being Slim ;) One of the best ways to keep bones strong is by exercise. Nope! I don’t go gym…I dance…a lot and than drink water a lot :)

• 7. It gives me tickles in Tune

Everyone since the childhood have certain inspiration and an appealing aspiration to be in a certain way when we are grow up...or in fact when we are old enough to be grown up!

Long back when I was in my school in late 90s and heard one pop album song! I must have been by then in sixth or seventh grade. When I saw that song, I initially loved the song...the dance and the music up beats. Latter when I heard over and over again the same song…I realized there was something more than just the music that attracted me to that song.

I could see in that album myself in every nooks and corner of the shot.
~ Each musical beat was like my own heartbeat.
Possibly each word of the lyrics narrated me and my own life!

~ Conversely then the life I was visualizing was about the future…how I wanna be when I grow up…and yes…this album song portrayed my future reflection the best in my childhood! Only thing that is not me in that video is the White as I Celebrate Colors uniquely!

Interestingly, when today I look myself…I’m more of that song…perhaps must of the striking extension!
~ Yeah when you see this video, you will know…that’s ME!
Me the little Umi!

a Walk in the Woods

I walked a long way between those tiny little lanes. I did not even give a glance what was around me except the best earthy rough walls along the path. The sun is about to rise, the sky is already so orange. It’s a bit chilly but this red shawl wrapped around keeps me so warm. This shawl belongs to my mom, but on my last birthday, she gifted me. It is an aged preserved warm shawl and I love the harps and wraps of the knitted threads.

There is a strange salient silence. Though I find a mild chirping of the birds in my ears is building up my day. I uplift and walk. And walk a little more till I find the woods around. Long lustrous tall green trees are where I best fit in. The tender elongated climbers’ holding and cuddling the tree branches looks like the trees trinkets. Wish, the trinkets I had few mine. And look here I found my charms, the lovely smooth small colorful pebbles, which I picked some shortly. I enjoy the pebbles tangible. Perhaps a Child in ME!

In the rhyme sung, not that I’m literary humming but I find my mind already got few melodious lines to warble.

And here starts a steep walk over the hill. The scent of the wild yellow flowers and the evergreen leaves makes me feel a bit nostalgic. I have been here, many a times when I was a kid. I came here with my friend, a little girl. Yes! We came here all alone but accompanied by the bicycle.

..I creep in the dark and more I brighten up. crossing over all is what I want and I choose...

Today, again I have this same walk, a stroll in the woods. I’m not afraid of any wilderness in woods. I creep in the dark and more I brighten up. While I keep moving, I enjoy the rhythm of the rattling sound, I make with my feet.
It’s been a long time when the leisure is on my list.
I keep counting each step I make and each breath I take in.
No, I don’t puff; I’m content and happy to my view.
I leave behind the entire why, what, where, how the hollow questions, apprehensive pretentious taut touts. Yes! I skip and delete all.
~ Crossing over all is what I choose.

Then I look up above the taller than tall dark arching trees and to my surprise I find few sun rays clinging through the heavy gleaming evergreen leaves. I can feel the purity and fine mist all around. It makes the little sunshine even more beautiful. Yes! It is more beautiful when it shines on my skin. I suddenly see down to check my steps that I take in.

And before I could step ones more, I abruptly hold my feet up above a ground and get back with one step backwards. Here, I find a tiny Snail passing by. I look keenly to minor swifts it takes over the dry leaves. I fluttered my eyes and smiled at the snail. No, I don’t see any prince face into it…but just that I loved its moves being so cute. I love shells.

I take a slight shift and safely leave the way of the snail. And I again sail into my boulevard of the inherent nature. Little by little I take tiny step with eloped stumbles and few jumps over the humble stones.

The cool breeze has already begun and I feel so captivated into the nature’s aura. I walk and then run a bit. There is strange yet a sensitive feeling to the gentle breeze passing through my hair.

The tingling lope to thoughts and memories cross. I waddle on into the treasured lane of ideas and innovations. The strange amalgamation of power and humbles I follow.

O dear! I just love this elementary trail..!
I pass through the sidewalk of river flowing. I get inspires with the undercurrent of the blue calm river. The sparkling of the sunshine over the water looks so sumptuous. There is definitely something common in me and river I insure!

A sheer delighted I get to see a humming bird sitting on the rocks. Out of the blue it gathers the courage and spreads her wings and flies away in the wind. I aspire to each swing of the moment. I want to reach there and occupy my space. My potential soars on my way. I keep walking and, though being slow but I don’t want to stop but keep my steps flow. And before I know it all, I smile!

As here is where I wanted to reach. I found my place, my rock of life indeed. It gives me strength and freedom to be me just the way I’m – The Me.

O+ dear!
It is..
The subtle yet the strong,
The mystery yet the truth,
The uncertainty yet the clarity,
The pain yet the care,
The dream yet the dare,
The want yet the desire,
The shy yet the flaunt,
The force yet the passion,
The rebel yet the virtue,
The royal yet the kind,
The woo yet the divine,
~ The verb yet the adjectives,

I walk a half way across more. I ran and as I run to hold the tickling in the stomach. The laughter fills all the pause, absence and silence in between. Giggles, smiles and charm we share.

This is the beautiful and wedge. A willful insight! The whispers in words! I would withstand and unfold all. The spherical dimension all around me emerge.

~ I name it as the wOman in Me, I care!
A worthwhile wriggle in woods but found a woman in me evolved! ~

“Women are not easy to understand. Famous authors and poets have extensively written about 'woman.' Yet, no one can claim to fully fathom her mind.”

I’m sure this thought must have rushed into your blood stream when you ended this post but that’s how I want to put all the scattered, elementary, earthy thoughts together in to a mix of witty yet wise wassail to exclaim!

I’m celebrating you and me!
Yes! My dear friend I’m celebrating woman in me!

NOTE:

• My childhood fantasy has been always much fascinated with the "Alice in Wonderland" story, an enthralling journey. Its not that I call myself as Alice, but definitely I live in Wonderland :)

• And enjoy the Womanhood completely with a Gurly walk and Live the Life like a Princess!(Click Princess)

• Love to quote of my female friend saying, “~There are only two kinds of people in this world _ Female and Non-Female…Which category do you come..?”

A Celebrity in ME - look alike

MyHeritage is an internet-based company that offers you the chance to see which celebrity you most resemble. Some of the amazing site that makes you feel like a celebrity. Just sign up free, feed your photo and watch your face agian in the mirror, you will face a difference. It might just sound funny yet its amazing to find yourself a celebrity look-alike. It was exciting to see Marni's celebrity transformation who almost fit the frame perfectly.

But the irony of the story is that non of the celebrity pictures are accurate look alike, in my opinion. Anyway, its always amazing to see a look alike and such sites are full of fun and entertainment.

The experience to see Natalia Vodianova 74%, Emma Watson 72%, Christina Ricci 70%, Reese Witherspoon 70% and above all gorgeous Katie Holmes 70% as my look-alike results. It is the magical yet hilarious example with my and Katie Holmes pictures matching up to certain angle with the moment captured. Try the magic with your picture and find your own look-alike celebrities.

H!VE OF F!VE TO L!VE

I often wonder which r the 5 major things in my life,

i can't live witout..

Not going into deep..i know the answer..

FAMILY SUPPORT

No matter how much nuclear in nature we turn..loved ones wit ur success & sadness r important.


One who loves u UNCONDITIONALLY..who have FAITH in u , no matter u go against their wish bt they r there wit all the steps u take..sometimes supporting yet sometimes scolding u.

anyway u say..they r right with u when u NEED them.

FREEDOM

CHANGE is the only CONSTANT...and FREEDOM to move with these change is really important for me. i beleive that freedom is not the one in which u r not supposed to commite a mistake..but freedom is one in which u r free to commit mistake..learn & move on..

TRAVEL


Travel for young is a part of learning things...but for elder is the part of experience..
Being at different places u get to learn so much abt different thing..enhancing directly or indirectly ur view of point and thought process.


RACHi CREAT!ONS ..
