Teej 2012 (Part 1)

Having Teej around, this time I have a feeling like never before. Earlier I use to fast with the prayers of finding my soul mate, while this year having found him already feels like some beautiful dream come true. Though not having him around is such a gloomy thought, but I guess I ll keep a positive thought of celebrating it years together after this one.

The best feeling was when my in-laws got me the shagun, I shall be wearing a dress that has been bought through them, and it has brought me a feeling of belonging.

Teej is on 4^th August and there is more to come... stick around.

Movie review of Cocktail.

Trailers of Cocktail made me swear to watch it on its first day.


But thanks to the fans of bollywood the movie was running housefull in all theatres, finally got a shot working for us and managed to get a movie ticket of an evening show.


Traffic was unexpectedly crazy, the highway that doesn't faces any traffic but only in Navratri was jam packed. Me and my sister were terrified cause we dint even had tickets in hand it was supposed to be collected form the window. We doubted if we could reach on time but after 45 minutes of being into the jam (on the route which is hardly of 8 to 10 minutes from my home) we reached 10 minutes late. Oh yes did I forget to mention that we were being gazed for running around in the corridor like some crazy freaks.... hahahaha (btw who cares ;) )


Ok now here's review of Cocktail. 


Movie: The usual triangle story (ofcourse you can say that after watching the trailor). A few one liners and the dialogue delivery save the movie. You would wonder why Gautam is attracted to Meera when he is already having fun with this girl Veronica or is bollywood trying to prove the old mommy drama; where no matter how modern girl a guy looks around for dating but when its about marriage and life time commitments he looks upto a desi girl who can cook him some aaloo paratha every morning. Grow up bollywood. 
Music: Oh yes its groovy, but I wished that songs were utilized at their best in the movie. 'Angreji beat' is a catchy number and 'Jugni' brings me goosebumps (if played in my ipod). And also the missing background add on's kills the mood of the dialogues.


Script: Do not except anything from this movie, its just a good company for your favourite pack of pop corns.


Deepika Padukone: She has got this oomph factor and with time she has learned how to use it. She has definitely grown as an actor (if you remember her Om Shanti Om). She was styled perfectly in the movie knowing how to carry the attire she won the game. And also she had the right attitude for the character she was playing.


Daina Penty: All I can say her is 'Welome to Bollywood'. Another model turned actress who apparently wasn't given much dialogues (compared to her leads) well I guess they knew they dint wanted any loophole. Neither can she dance (ooopppsssss bollywood is all about dancing dear lady). Though her simple looks an still keep you hoping to see more of her work. Good luck girl.


Saif Ali Khan: My goodness his first impression was different and the very next moment he killed it himself. In few frames he looks too old for the ladies (unwanted visible wrinkles show his age most of the times). His acting and movies are of similar types so he was so much similar to his old flicks. Time to move on.

At this moment.

               I am struggling right now with what I want and what I receive (do I really have to be all this judgy types, well may be thats how the situation is). I do have feelings that hurt but not the language that explains how much, its like you know the language of love but not the language of hate. The moment those bring me tears are less but those do are the ones that really hit the heart at the right place and now I understand why they said that to whom you give your heart you give them liberty to bring both happiness and hurt.


              More than anything else right now I want peace, not just for mind but for my heart. Maybe some time alone.


              Hope to catch this world soon with some better notes.

Lost and searching...

Have you still found out what are you on this earth for or shall I ask that are you still lost?  Do you know what you got to do before you knock the doors of heaven (or maybe hell)?

At an age where quite a many would know what they want from life I still sometimes find myself struggling with this search and given the situation now which is immensely beautiful I have kept those fighting thoughts aside. But with time those thoughts reappear and I couldn’t help but feel feeble.

So far I followed all the circumstances that life brought in front of me, afraid of breaking the rules I played the game of life very sensibly but that doesn’t mean I dint had a heart of a child who wanted to cheat or maybe break the rules for once and be a brat (I mean it) but more than anything I was afraid of losing trust of my parents so I did nothing such and the world claims me to be the best daughter (the world that knows me ofcourse).

I never had a goal for my life but that doesn’t mean that my life dint wanted one, too frightened to not to get a chance to follow them I shun them behind the shadows of veiled dreams now it is difficult to catch hold of.

Not that I am upset of following the path that life brought in front of me, but just a curious mind a wild heart is forced to imagine what if I would have had break the rules or may be chosen a path that was extreme to what I lived.

Am I the only one with these struggling thoughts of my existence or are there a few more?

From the lost world have you been found or are you still lost and searching like me?

Rakhi 2012 (Part 1)

Designer Rakhi

With having Rakshabandhan around the corner I have always preferred buying designer rakhi for my brother and other cousins. Every year our city holds quite a few exhibitions during the festival season and so far I have enjoyed visiting them; but this time due to some work I wasn’t able to visit the Rakhi exhibition. So I send my sister there instead to check out the stuff, though it wasn’t as promising like every year she managed to grab rakhi’s worth it.Which means I need to find some other stalls as well for rakhi’s.

Take a look at the Rakhi’s she has bought. How did you like them?

From the shopping bag!

Traditional round bali's (earrings)

Search for designers and make-up artist has already begun, along with the excitement there is some nervousness of making the right selection. I am doing a lot of peek-a-boo on some designer’s website. Recently my city hosted an exhibition for the to-be brides of the coming months and it was definitely not a miss.

With so many jewellery designer showcasing their best you couldn’t choose one who out stood, same with the dress designers; mind blowing work got me more confused. Though I have got some tips for my own wedding.

I bought these (picture above) lovely bali’s for my traditional wear I shall wear on Rakhi.
