She wrote- "Your Pictures are beautiful and u look gorgeous...Ofcoarse with and without MAKE-UP"...

All we need to PAMPER ourself with shopping..these harmless beauty products...hey..they actually only hold and protect your Hair & Skin innocence.. Because YOU are WORTH IT..!!

To look beautiful and gorgeous is your RIGHT..Believe me..!!

Right NOW I can only remember those good old days of nursery rhymes..!!


Chubby cheeks,
Dimple chin,
Rosy lips,
Teeth within,
Curly hair,
Very fair,
Eyes are blue,
Lovely too..
Teacher's pet, is that YOU..?? Yes, Yes, Yes.

How with the nice lovely words tune we used to recite it..but in reality I today understand the depth of the poem...where some where it shows the freshness of the face..which v used to hav in the childhood...and how slowly in the race of life we sometime lose all that charm we owe....Now its a time to rejuvenate and celebrate the beauty...with MAKE-UP or WITHOUT it...All we need to wear...the SIMPLE SWEET SMILE ...

Maria Mitchell quotes (American first professional woman Astronomer in the United States. 1818-1889)

"There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness."

I call it the SUM-UP to MAKE -UP, and get ready for the party!!!

Ready-Made Mix

Ready-Steady-Go...with the mix..and enjoy the sweets..

Though the Gulab-Jamun were made during Diwali Festival...we r still melting the sweet sugar in our mouths.
Long back in my childhood my mother used to make gulab-jamun at home wit the GITS ready-to-make packet.
The instructions mention to prepare were very easy and also the post-product came up really delicious..
The link to GITS site is as follows:-
http://www.gitsfood.com/index.php?action=product&mode=V&type=PDS&id=95

When i wanted to prepare i could not get the GITS packet, so i decided to make a little change and choose MTR product..
Almost same instruction and the gulab jamun came up...simple prefect as u noticed in the last blog..
So make more gulab jamun wit either GITS or MTR..all tastes same..simply sweet and soft and almost like heaven.

CHECK OUT THE LINK TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE PRODUCTS OF "MTR"

..NOTE:-

What if by mistake excess water is poured in the dough..??!!!

Holy EXPERIENCE

THIS EXEPRIENCE IS SHARED BY THE PERSON WHO BELEIVES IN TOTAL karma AND GODDESS IS OWN TONGUE......



Dear Friends,
The time when I was the only qualified person of my illiterate parents (NO GUIDANCE WAS AVAILABLE WHERE TO GO & JOIN).
Incident took place when I was travelling in Kanpur city bus occuping seat of two person just after completing my B Tech from Kanpur.

Fortunately, Holy Person came closer to me asking for seat. I, awfully, moved little towards Bus window side.
Holy Person asked humbly in Hindi, "Kya karte ho, baite?"
I replied unwillingly that to in English bearing in mind as if I am only learned person in this bus, "I did B.Tech from Kanpur"
Then He asked politely again in Hindi, "Kanhi selection hua ya nahi?"

I said proudly agian in English, "I am working as Training Officer in RDAT and have been selected as Graduate Engineer Trainee by NFL, SAIL, RCF, IOCL and also Research Officer in Forest Research Institute-Dehradun through UPSC and waiting for Medical Exam to join FRI-Dehradun."

Then He started narrating in English, "I did M.Tech from IIT Newdelhi and working as Manager in IEL."
As soon as he was narrating, I was moving wilfully towards window side thinking as if my father(Big Senior) has come besides me.

Patiently above deliberation took place and He advised me to join IOCL. He suggested to forget about UPSC or other jobs.
Immediately, I accepted his advice and look friends, I am here in Mathura.
So, Moral of the story..."you can get"!
