B + :)

it has become habitual for me to start my day at work by reading my igoogle horrorscope. and today it said that i'm filled with positive creative energy!! Well did i really need an online forecast to tell me that?? not at all.
The one thing that i've always known but learnt over the last couple of months. thoughts are things, and you reap the results of your thoughts. these thoughts manifest our lives. like the vibs that emminate from each of us so do thoughts. and it is in our minds the kinds of thoughts we let. the laws of attraction work not only in physics. with negative thoughts you are destined to exepreience negativity and evil results.
Positive energy and positive thoughts help you operate at a level of bouyancy and cheerfulness, your more optimistic about everything, its a more happy and confident you.
Things go wrong, not sometimes but many times, its how one thinks that makes all the difference. and really its not very difficult, they key is SELF-MASTERY

All the Worlds a stage!!!

All the world is a stage said one
a wide universal theatre another
with a nod of agreement superficial i add
where "heart felt emotions" are artificial
the "Act" is not of seven stages
In seven stages they act.
Barbie smiles are on faces
thoughts and ideas are shallow
and most "like sheep" most seem to follow
where humanity is a sham
only as good as walking the ramp.
Cynical it may seem
but to make the world a
better place is only a dream!!

Are woman truly empowered??

when one is asked to define a woman.. its almost certain that they will fall back on the stereotypes and cliches of pink satin, softness, sensuality, who handles relationship, that of a daughter, sister, wife, mother, friend to perfection. it is true that she gives a lot to each relationship. earlier she was the perfect homemaker and now she is the perfect balancer.

Woman's Day is to celebrate the social, political and economic achievements of women. There are Sonia Gandhi, Oprah Winfrey, Chanda Kochar, Kiran Shaw, Shoba De, woman who have accomplished so much, achieved so much, much more than most men. but for everyone of them there are millions of women who wake and sleep, live and die in grief.

We live in the myth of the few thousand successful woman who have broken barriers and rules, gone past the glass ceiling. I'm not talking about the you and me but the millions of other women for whom Patriarchy, discriminatory customs and values are a part of the society where they are seeking a life of dignity.

Each human being is to be cherished for who they are, but more so a woman. for the millions "hers" for whom life is a constant struggle for survival. but they question is "is she ever going to feel cherished?" Are these woman who we call "empowered women"?

I'm not trying to take away anything from those women who have reached their goals in life, who made dreams reality and the impossible possible. the perfect daughters, sisters, wives, mothers, friends, professionals, it is they who remind us that "A woman is the full circle. Within her is the power to create, nurture and transform"

I may....

I may not complaint
but i fell the pain
i may not ask for what is rightfully mine
because i just chose to wait for my chance in the line
i may not appear to be insecure
but i still might need your reassurance
i may know i'm loved
but i might want you to tell me that more often

i may be difficult to handle sometime
and i might "have the vocabulary of a mime"
and thats when i want to hear what i need to hear
think a little
and the truth will hit you between your eyes
i may strive for the elusive perfection
but i'm still most human...

All Grown Up!!!

King Solomon says,"There is a time for everything and every activity under the heaven". The "Tiny Tods" as my little brother affectionately calls them, have grown up.. and its more than the second prize in a cooking competition that made me realise that. The responsibility and maturity by no means implies that the madness has gone (i hope it never does) and yesterday was enough proof of that; with the two of them doing a photo shoot dressed as babes, and displaying the famous pout :P.. and the madness doesnot end.. they actually used blowpens on my face, one cheek pink and the other blue (i dunno how i let them do that).

Now they seem to understand things better, look at things from more than one view point. They've blossomed, into beautiful swans, who seem to have the perfect blend of maturity and madness.

And as my lil bro says, the third graders are no longer in third grade:)

The Perfect chocolate :P

Most of us know chocolate as a deliciously decadent sweet that we eat in cookies, cakes, candy bars, and other desserts. And, chocolate isn’t simply a snack or key ingredient in cooking. Over the centuries, many cultures have used the seeds from which chocolate is made—cacao. Plus, medicinal remedies featuring chocolate have been used as household curatives across the globe.

For centuries, legends from many cultures have claimed that consuming chocolate instilled strength, health, faith, and passion in those who drank it. These legends attributed magical properties to chocolate and endowed it with powerful symbolic value. Chocolate is still revered as an icon of love and devotion today, and eating chocolate remains a part of many enduring holiday traditions.

Chocolate has long been regarded as a pleasant diversion, if not quite a magic bullet, for feeling low. And, for most people, this is still the case. It is considered the best antidote to depression. Chocolate still maintains its known "feel-good" effect on people who are simply having a bad day, for those who are severely stressed or clinically depressed, the effect may be to make the depression and stress worse.

Ok all of that was just to show off that i know quite a bit chocolates. The whole point of this what many call futile exercise is to put on record my experience of tasting a flavour of the latest Cadbury range. Bournville. Well it is named after a famous village associated with the Cadbury family in England; but what is more fascinating is the intense chocolate. For a chocoholic like me the promotional ad was enough to wait for its launch.

I took to the ad too literally " you don buy a bournville, you earn it". well i earned it, fair and square, but the one who owed it to me refused to give to me. Well he ultimately did:P (though he dint even take the pains of buying it himself :P )

A total choco-addict that i am, I'm glad he kept his word. it was one of the nicest I've ever had. From the texture to the taste.. it was perfect. It melts in your mouth and makes you go ’mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm’..


and to the stupid who gave that chocolate to me i just want quote Henry Longfellow

"Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;

And the song, from beginning to end,

I found again in the heart of a friend."

ok i even want to say this..It was not a act of heroism, but for me it was a reflection of how you feel.Thank you for caring, thank you for being there unconditionally, for being there and supporting me in all circumstances. Thanks for being a great and delightful friend. :)

P.S. i'm not able to upload the pic :( and btw you still owe me a few chocolates :P

Luck by chance :P

Luck by chance is a contemporary tale , where the plot revolves around how an outsider tries to find his feet in the world of Hindi cinema. Ironical then that a star kid has sought to make such a movie.

Few scenes being the cliche slapstick comedy, few others are cynical enough to make you smile; but there are few in the movie which try to escape the realities of the real world. And you definitely cant resisting laughing hard at them especially when you've experienced a few them yourself.


And going for the movie itself was by chance and lucky. Watching the movie was not really only watching the movie experience for me this time. It was the brother and three dwarfs at the theater, where the three dwarfs totally freaked at everything they could relate in the movie to themselves (considering their self-obsession it was on most occasions.) there more than a few comments flying, whether it was on Isha Sharwani and Juhi Chawla being complete "Fashion Disasters" or tacky lines we'd heard in real life ourselves.

There is no way i can miss making a mention of this; Vikram Jaisingh the promising and good looking want-to-be an actor aspirant knows what he wants and how to manipulate the situation to get it. He works his charm with surmounting success on the yesteryear star Neena. But what was not surprising that she falls for that charm. "Girls will after all be Girls" (thats what i heard) :P

The movie showcases a slice of life in bollywood, it being a mix of opportunities and destiny. the brother had an opportunity to sit in the luxury of his house and watch the "onslaught" of the Indian batsmen, it was his destiny that he was stuck at the theater with the three dwarfs only to witness them laugh their heads off and listen to them comment on the events happening on and off the screen.
