<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I usually write
when I am in the right mood to express things.<br />
So tonight is kind of the right mood to let my thoughts flow freely<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">This post is
dedicated to my two close friends who recently lost their dads.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I saw a post
shared by one of them on instagram and I realised that the relationship between
a father and daughter is so so beautiful . I<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">For every
daughter, the father is the first role model. A daughter always looks for the
qualities of her dad in her man.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In most of the
houses, usually a mother's role is in the foreground while taking decisions for
the daughter..but the dad is always in the background worrying for the well
being of the daughter.. Dads are the best example of heroes without capes.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">They are the most
underrated heroes of our lives.. They work , slog to give us a good future but
the moms always take up the icing on the cake of giving us birth. This post
doesn't mean to say dads are more important than a mom in a child's life but i
would want to put it as how both are equally important.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Your dad may not
express daily what they feel about you, but I am sure all the married daughters
would agree that their dads were a little heartbroken when they got married.
Your dads are the rocks of your life you can lean to whenever you feel weak<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Guys, it is not
easy to leave your parental home and step into a new family altogether. Our
dads set up the standards so high that we expect our men to meet those
standards of love and respect.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I was listening
to the song Dilbaro from the movie Razi and I must say the lyrics written by
Gulzar are mesmerising.It brought out every emotion in me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">The lyrics go
this way :<br />
</span><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Ungli pakad ke tune<br />
Chalna sikhaya tha na<br />
Dehleez oonchi hai ye, paar karaa de<o:p></o:p></span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Baba main teri mallika<br />
Tukda hoon tere dil ka<br />
Ikk baar phir se dehleez paar karaa de<o:p></o:p></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">True that we have
been taught everything but not how to stay apart from our dads or parents after
we get married.. Doesn't matter how old you grow... you will still need
them.You will still need them around.<br />
For kids who have a stressful relation with their dads, mend fences as soon as
you can and for others treasure your moments with your parents...they are
priceless<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span lang="DE" style="mso-ansi-language: DE;">Time has come
when we help them cross every oonchi dehleez </span><span style="mso-no-proof: yes;"><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shapetype id="_x0000_t75" coordsize="21600,21600"

<span style="font-size: small;"><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DkO7ksXY8E&authuser=0" target="_blank">Dear Zindagi ,</a><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /><br />Words fail me when I think of writing you a letter to express my gratitude and love towards you.<br />You have been a roller coaster all the time.Whenever I think I have hit a new low,you take me to the highest pedestal .And when I think I have reached the highest point in my life ,and think I am the best and the greatest ,you take me back to the lowest point again reminding me that times can change. And that you need to move with the change.<br />You teach me every time, that if you want to witness a rainbow you need to bear the rain.<br /><br />I am not sure what I should be more grateful for ...<br />for teaching me to stand back on my toes with every baby step I took and fell on my knees. Or<br />For losing my rank in the exams but still teaching me a lesson that ranks don't determine your potential your knowledge does<br />Or<br />For teaching me to be an independent individual all my life and slaying it completely.<br />Or <br />For making me believe in Mills and Boons kind of romance <br />Or <br />For teaching me that it is okay to take the first step in your relationship ...be it expression of my feelings or being sorry about something<br />Or<br />For helping me deal with my anxiety neurosis ,depression and coming out strong .<br />Or <br />For teaching me it's okay to lose .<br />I am not sure what I should be thankful for. I know you have been harsh on me on certain days...you have had your share of mood swings. You have put me through trials and tribulations but am not complaining because you never promised me it would be a bed of Roses. <br />I am so enchanted with the idea of experiencing you that I feel on certain days that am losing out on time to be with this boon called 'Zindagi' .<br />I remember the breakups,heartbreaks, frustrations that you brought along but your every chapter just taught me that this too shall pass and it's just one of your bad days.<br />I feel blessed that I am one of the few lucky ones who got 29 years of experiencing you.<br /><br />There are times when I have felt you had a different script of living for me; when I have felt I could have had it all...But every time this thought crossed my mind, you questioned me on my face if I would have been as grateful as I am now if I had it all.<br /><br />I am besotted with the wonderful surprises you have brought along when I have felt my life had become so dull.You always keep me on the edge of the seat wondering what next?<br />There would be times when I would want to give up on you but you have always taught me to battle out all the struggles you are going to bring along.... so bring it on!.<br /><br />I have ultimately learnt that Zindagi or life isn't a burden....it's the expectations and dreams we weave that make it a burden.We must learn to deal with failures as well as success.<br /><br />You have taught me the value of having you with every breath I take and with every beat of my heart.<br /><br />You are such a beauty Dear Zindagi, I have felt this on every single day when I have met new people , when I have visited new places,with every experience I have had. <br /><br />I have always believed that l should experience you like it's my first and the last rendezvous with you, I want to indulge you with all the love ,madness ,laughter,tears and spoil you to the core.<br /><br />I always wanted to be a free bird but you taught me that actual freedom is to break free of all the thoughts , all those people , all those customs that bring you down in life.<br />When I turn back to see you in retrospect,all i feel is gratitude.<br /><br />Thanks Zindagi!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Happy happy anniversary my dear hubby,</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Let me tell you this is going to be the year when officially people have the right to ask us awkward baby questions, when they think they have the right to speculate if things are going the wrong or the right way....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I think that's what the second year of marriage in our society means. Forcefully have babies due to pressure from all corners . </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">But yes the last two years of our marriage I think both of us have learnt a lot. We have learnt to give importance to our choices more than what people think or will think about us.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">We have given importance to our careers, our dreams and have made adjustments..I wouldn't use the word compromise because I feel no one should ever compromise on their dreams for the sake of others.We probably have one life together, which we decided to live together....so why not make the most out of it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Ok..so hows been the last one year of our life....Read on...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There have been times when I have felt what if we fail to have kids and I have had shared these apprehensions with you...you were quick enough to point out that if its meant to be it will be.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There have been times when I have felt what If I would</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"> never conceive ....you were quick enough to say the fault could be in both of us and not me alone.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">All the last ten years of my life I wanted to be Mrs.nambiar( you can ask my friends about this) , but the moment I got married to you I felt a sudden possessiveness to my maiden surname. I felt that's what made me whatever I am and it wasn't easy enough to part ways with it. I just couldn't change it for the sake of it. I mean even if it changes on paper , probably deep down I would still want to be called as Chitra Nair. Not being a feminist and changing norms here ,..it's simply my choice. Have discussed this with you and you were very cool enough to say you can live with your maiden name all your life.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I have asked you many a times if I would ever support your career choices the way you have done and you were quick enough to say I will. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">There are times when you get a couple of flirty messages from random friends of yours . And me getting it from some friends of mine. You have always been indifferent to these and I have learnt from you how to not let it affect the stability of our marriage.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">The Germany official trip that I would be leaving for in few days; I so very well remember how our anniversary as well as vacation plans had to be changed in a jiffy like in an hour with all the pre bookings cancelled . You even paid up the cancellation amount so that I could go ahead with the Germany trip... You have always let my dreams grow .</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Its been a long time since I have posted anything and I think
this is the best moment to get back to writing.
A month back one of my school friends messaged me asking if I was interested
in coming on a talk show “Talking Business” on BBC .She said that this time on
the show they were planning to have a discussion on issues faced by women in
India’s workforce and what stopped them from pursuing their careers. The discussion
was supposed to be an element of Talking Business show consisting of panel discussion with Naina Lal Kidwai,
Vaishali Kasture – Former Goldman Sachs
India Head and a HRexpert.</span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I wondered just like many others who have been asking me
why I was selected for the same. They
needed a real face someone who would openly discuss the issues that women face
actually and wouldn’t think twice about being
open about it. My friend Kinjal ( who is a producer of the show)thought I
would be apt for it and roped me in.</span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">When I got the opportunity , I thought I should take someone
else along with me someone who Is equally bold like I am and someone who is equivocal
about such issues.And that is how I roped in my best friend Aswathi for the
chat show.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We had a lot of discussions with the producer of the show
before we actually went for the shoot. Points that we were going to discuss
were put forth and finally the date , the schedule and the script all were
ready and we were asked to report for the shoot early in the morning before the
office hours.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Facing the camera for the first time wasn’t very difficult
as we thought and the shoot went as per the schedule.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The show was supposed to be aired both on BBC English and
Hindi as well. And this is what the show exactly looks like . Please go to the
link and check the video<span style="background-color: white;"> <u><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36426579">( http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36426579</a></u></span></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36426579" style="background-color: white;">)</a></u></span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><u><a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-36426579"><br /></a></u></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We discussed a lot of points and not a lot of them were shown
on TV. The points that I felt as to why women have to leave their careers as
compared to men is because of the following reasons:</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">1)<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Mental Harassment & Sexual Harassment</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">2)<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Lack of Safety</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">3)<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Unfriendly HR policies</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">4)<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Lack of Role Models</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">5)<span style="font-stretch: normal;">
</span><!--[endif]-->Orthodox mindset of the society.</span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I also shared an incident of being mentally harassed by a
former colleague of mine ( which is not shown in the video) for over three
months.That was one of the darkest period of my IT career I would say. I had
even thought of quitting my job and taking a sabbatical .But then I found my
lost strength in my family who said we would end up meeting such people in
every walk of life and that running away from situations isn’t a solution for
the same. You need to fight the situation and make peace with it . And that is
exactly what I did . </span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I spoke against the harassment and decided not to take it
lying down inspite of being a fresher in the field of IT. I am thankful to that
former colleague of mine for torturing me so badly that I emerged strong out of
it. Work bullies is a concept that I was introduced to all thanks to him. One thing that I wanted to express via my
presence in show was women shouldn’t take things lying down silently. The main
reason why people take advantage of women is because they consider women as a
weaker sex and someone who would bear everything silently. Via my blog I would
want my readers as well as everyone who would be watching the video that always
speak up against what you think is wrong. Speak up if someone /something is
going against you in an unfair way. No one is going to help you out if you don’t
help yourself. I am not trying to vent out any personal grudge via this post
but I feel fighting against a situation will make you stronger in life J</span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am extremely glad I could do my bit by being on the show
and speaking for my gender , on behalf of so many women who dream big in life
and are struggling to see their dreams turning into realities. I am extremely
glad that a lot of my friends & my family are very happy and proud of me for doing this.
Thanks to all of them. I am also happy that there are some who find all this
too much of a hype and have openly expressed it. But the hype is worth it as it
is not every day that I would wake up early in the morning to be messaged by a
friend in Spain just to say that she spotted me on BBC TV. There are also people who have said “ that was
just a two minute shoot” . Not everyone gets a chance to be on Global news for
something good even for two minutes. For me every achievement small or big is
an achievement .</span></span></h3>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">And thanks to a lot of people who actually made me realize that
it is a big thing to be on TV for something good and something sensible. Thanks
a lot . This one is definitely going to be something I am never going to be tired of
being proud of. Because it is totally worth it.:)</span></span></h3>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">May 6 – The day when the verdict was
finally going to be out whether Salman was going to be imprisoned for ramming
his Toyota Land Cruiser over 5 people, killing one and injuring the others. A
very anxious day for his fans and his family. People are praying for a positive
verdict, the social media is abuzz with wishes and criticism. The verdict
arrives and the lower court pronounces 5 year imprisonment for Salman Khan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Am a simple blogger, no one to comment
on whether the verdict was fair or unfair; whether Salman deserved this kind of
a treatment, whether he actually deserved to be behind bars. All this is
something that the court would decide. But something that really struck me hard
during all this frenzy was how inhuman we are turning out to be. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Am baffled by the huge number of
supporters turning up and standing up with this star ,people who started the
trend #BeingWithSalmanKhan and all the other stupid Bollywood stars who tweeted
in support of Salman. I wonder are we totally losing out on humanity?I wonder
whether the poor deserve a death like this because their only fault is that
they are poor. Am enraged that a singer
like Abhijeet tweets , “Kutta rd pe soyega kutte ki maut marega, roads garib ke
baap ki nahi hai I ws homles an year nvr slept on rd @BeingSalmanKhan
@sonakshisinha.” I wonder whether the middle class and the lower middle class
who purchase tickets every Friday to see their ‘Bhai-jaan’ on the big screen
deserve a death like this. This very
tweet and serveral other inhuman tweets
show the mindset that these Bollywood demi gods have. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Am surprised by the hypocritical
attitude of the Indians who created a lot of noise when Sunny Leone was brought
to Big Boss 8. She was termed a western reject, someone who could possibly
tarnish the so called Indian <i>sanskaar. </i>But
it surprises me how we can easily forget the fact that the very host of the
show Mr. Salman Khan was himself a convict. A convict who killed an innocent
man lying on the streets of Mumbai because he cannot afford a Galaxy for
himself. Am puzzled why people are praying that he be let free just because he
has a charitable organization “Being human”. What is the point of offering
charity and doing good stuff when you could ask your driver to take up all the
blame and go to jail? What is the point of feeding thousands of poor kids when
you have left a kid orphan by killing his father? Given the benefit of doubt
Mr. Salman Khan may be a changed man ( as people claim) but the very fact that
he has pressurized his driver to accept
that he was driving the Toyota Land Cruiser on that fateful night shows how
little he cares for someone .. How does this qualify being human?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I am stunned by some Facebook posts
and tweets that say he has done so many good things for people and helps people
blindly. Does that compensate for a life lost ? From all those atrocious posts,
some posted even by my friends I feel that my life has no value. If a car runs
over me while am walking on the road, and if the car is a Bentley or Cruiser, that
is totally fine because I belong to a middle class family and I deserve to die on the roads. My family
would get a compensation of around 19 lakhs and that would be the cost of my
life or my murderer would pay up a bond of 30000 bucks the price of my life.
Killing someone never sounded so casual till yesterday. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">We are the very people who created
chaos when two college going girls posted a simple status online.Their houses
were broken , they were threatened just because they put up a simple status.
But when Salman is convicted of homicide, it’s unfair. Why is it unfair ? Just
because he is a star. Does this mean only the lives of rich have value in this
country ? <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">For dumb people who say footpaths are
not meant for sleeping, I would want to ask them are footpaths meant for
drunken driving. If yes, then you are going to be next casualty or you could
even die because some rich spoilt brat high on alcohol would unexpectedly or
unintentionally ram over his cruiser on you, run away from the scene of the
crime, get his driver take all the blame , offer your family a compensation to
shut the case up. And if nothing works avoid the jail term by offering a paltry
sum of 30000 and all that your family would get is 13 years of running across
the corridors of the court and sleepless nights. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The verdict isn’t unfair but people
supporting a crime like this definitely are. You can never compensate the loss
of a life even if you have 100
charitable organizations. I am baffled by people who are<i> </i>going out in his support by saying he is not a serial killer so why the charge. So do you
want to let someone be one?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The entire fiasco where in the
sentence was pronounced and then the immediate bail shows the value of life in
India. Your life has a price if you are
born with a silver spoon. For Indians, bollywood stars are like role models.
But seriously guys, do you need a role model who has killed an innocent man,
injured 4 others. Why do you still think the verdict is unfair. ? Did you ever
think that night it could have been you coming late night from a party and
being rammed over. The worst part is you are breathing the last moments of your
life and you see no help coming inspite of begging for it. You pay the price of
one wild party that your murdered had. Seriously do you or anyone deserve this
kind of a life. Whenever I see Mr. Khan on the big screen it reminds me of his cowardly
attitude that night no matter how Dabangg he is on the big screen. He seems to
be one who still doesn’t bother about anyone’s life except for his own. If he
really was, he would have never allowed his driver to own up for the crime he
has done. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">What worries me isn’t the fact that
Salman has got a bail or not, what worries is that this kind of a judgement
will give rise to hundreds of Salman and every Salman would roam around freely
at the cost of an innocent’s life. Every driver would get drunk and get the
confidence of driving freely and ramming around every innocent sleeping on the
roads after a hard day’s work. A judgement made by the lower court did instill
a feeling that Law is above all but getting a bail within hours was nothing but
a mockery of the system by their own torchbearers .<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I am not a morning person at all. And getting up early in
the morning and jogging off alone never excited me . But this early wake up
routine became exciting when I started going out together for a walk with my
bestie Anu. A long walk with a close one
helps you deal with so many issues in our life. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Early morning her phone calls would nudge me to get out of
bed and I would lazily join her for a walk. Initially it was just a calorie
burner for both of us. Later on , we
started discussing everything that
happened in our day to day life with each other. I would pile up on her
all my office issues, my fights with mom, my relationship issues etc. She would
discuss everything under the roof with me . She would give me her opinions and I would give her my thoughts
about the same. Our lives became an open book . Doing this made me realise how light hearted I
felt everytime when I returned back from walk. I started feeling mentally strong and used to look forward to
begin each day with a new optimistic attitude. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Early morning walks are something recommended for every age
group. And when you do it together with a close one it makes you physically and
mentally strong. We slowly started
bonding with the pets that would come for a stroll with their owners . We would
spend time with the old uncles and aunts who would come in for walks with their
pets. That one hour we spent would set the mood for the rest of the day . We would return back with a new zeal and
optimism. Now that we are married off to two different locations, morning walks
together is something that has been a
distant dream.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But still a single phone call from either end reduces the distance within seconds and we end up chatting
endlessly . And it feels so much better. Guess that is the power of being <a href="http://housing.com./">#together!</a></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Every day is like a
roller coaster ride for us and we face so many hurdles in our life . It takes
strength to deal with it and move on a
positive note. We all have fights at home, face pressure at work, career
aspirations, <a href="http://housing.com./">buying a house</a> and so many
other issues. There are times when you just cant take it any more and you just
need to take a break; a break from all this mundane stuff. Nothing helps more than sharing stuff with
your loved ones. At times its simply enough to know that some one is out there
to listen to your problems without judging you. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We have woken up to Mahabharata and Ramayana playing on our
television sets every Sunday all our
childhood. We Indians have a deep connect with mythology and we still are in
love with the several Mythological serials that we have grown up seeing. So
when a book based on Ramayana was up for review, I knew I had to do it ; and do
it after reading completely</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">First of all hatsoff to the
writer Shubha Vilas for taking up
an epic scripted by Valmiki. It takes courage to reproduce the entire book
without losing its essence and the interest while reading. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This book is a
sequel to the national bestseller Rise of the Sun Prince in this new series
Ramayana – The Game of Life. Though I hadn’t read the prequel but it wasn’t difficult
connecting to this book as the writer has written so creatively that you just get hooked up with the same.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">At the end of Book 1, twelve years have passed by since the
wedding of Rama and Sita. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The sequel revolves around how Dasarath considers Rama as
his successor , he thinks Rama to be apt ruler of Ayodhya and decides to
announce it to the kingdom. The decision is accepted happily by one and all . Kaikayi’s
tantrums and a lot of other twists and turns results into Rama’s exile from
Ayodhya for 14 years. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The writer has exposed several shades a human being can
possess ; temptations , manipulative nature, jealousy, obedience etc. The writer has beautifully etched the
different changes human relationships can go through over a period of time. Rama
stands the test of all relationships and so the writer calls Rama an unwavering
persona. The book inspires us to stand the test of relationships and deal with
reversals that we will face in life positively, to handle both good as well as
bad tempatations strongly and also emphaises on the fact that there could be
times when we would have to step out of our comfort zone and we will have to
move along with tide and time.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This post is an entry for <a href="http://bit.ly/GPABlogLinkIndiBloggerActivity">Garnier Contes</a>t on Indiblogger.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Your face is your window to the world. It is your identity and when your identity is marked by so many scars, you are bound to face so many issue. The very common problem that we face because of pimples are the unwanted attention that our face attracts. I have myself had the problem of acne during my childhood days .On certain days my face would be covered with boils, and where ever i would go, people would look at me , some with sympathy filled eyes, some with disgust. There would be unwanted advices flowing in from unknown quarters. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">You sing , you dance , you talk in front of them and they would still be looking at your face.You get dressed in expensive kurtis , you look the best but all that people would notice were the pimples. Aunties would come up with solutions<i> " oily khana bandh karo"(which meant stop eating oily food) </i>. Cousins would say," <i>kitna oil hai tumhare face pe "(which meant your face is so damn oily) . </i>I would feel like telling that oil for cooking directly went from my face.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">During presentations, you would be explaining every single stuff on the slide that you prepared slogging your ass off last night, but there would be one jerk looking at your face as if he had seen a ghost out of nowhere. While travelling in local trains, unknown people would ask" what happened to your face" . And i would be like, " hello ,who are you?".</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Pimples are such a pain, it would pop up on the most important days of your life. On your marriage, on your first date with the most handsome guy, on your interview and all the other important occasions of your life pimples pop up and try their level best to dwindle your confidence.I know of a friend who refused to be photographed and was very reluctant to attend parties because of her acne problem. Acne can lower your confidence and may even make you a recluse.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">The main reason behind explaining all this is , your face is the first thing people look at . Its essential you keep it clean, you keep it acne free. </span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">If you have serious acne problem, I have a one stop solution for you. The newly launched Garnier Active Neem Pure is the one stop solution for all your problems. It contains Neem extracts and tea tree oil extracts.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">It fights the acne causing bacteria ensuring that the skin remains acne free. It also helps fight dirt and pollution which are another major factor causing skin breakouts. It removes excess oil and helps prevent acne to pop up. Slowly and gradually Garnier helps fade away the stubborn marks left on your skin. I always thought the acne would scar my face forever but luckily Garnier came into my life. Garnier was suggested by a friend who faced the same issue and it is a boon for many girls like me. Garnier isn't a miracle medicine that the changes would be visible in a day or two. It slowly starts working by cleaning the surface of your skin both in the interior as well as exterior and makes your skin slow..</span></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It has always been a dream to own a car and take my parents
around in one. For my mother, owning a car has always been a matter
of pride. I’m very sure the day I own a
car, she is going to publicise it like Poonam Pandey’s PR would do. She would
inform the Sharmas and the Bhatias and
every single person known to her and flaunt. Even though she may fumble when
asked the name of the car, “Who Cares?,
We have car!” she would say and that is what means a lot to her. So when this TATA
initiative came up, she was more pepped up about the same and asked me to go
for it. I headed straightaway <span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T10:53"> </del></span>to
the Phoenix Market city mall in Kurla<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T10:54"> </del></span>, approximately after an hour’s
travel in the local train. After smelling sweaty armpits, and being
pushed and shoved here and there,<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T10:54"> </ins></span>you realise why owning a car is a
bliss. My resolve to reach the mall
strengthened further </span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Born and brought up in a middle class South Indian Family,
car was a thing of luxury for me. And if luxury comes in such a package with the brand name “Tata” then why not. I scanned
for the location in the mall where the Arena was taking place and <span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T10:57"> </del></span>I literally gasped“What A
Beauty!”</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> TATA BOLT - MY BEAUTY!</span><br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The prime reasons why Tata Bolt hit me like the “Godfather”
bolt, are:</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Exteriors : </b> A hatchback model, Tata Bolt boasts of a first in class
smoked projector headlamps, a striking and
an attractive power bulge on the bonnet, the TATA logo (The T in a ring)
in a piano black finish adding to the poise. For people who aren’t aware of
what the logo stands for, the T shaped logo stands for trust that the brand
exudes. The brand TATA, an epitome of <span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T11:00"> </del></span>trust
is another major reason why people would be drawn to buy Bolt. Another feature
that this beauty proudly beams is a sporty rear spoiler<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T11:01">,</del></span> has 15’’ dynamic
alloy wheels, ORVM with side indicators, flame shaped tail lamps, and smart
rear wipers. All these features give the Bolt a sporty and classy look. It’s
like a younger sibling of TATA zest with a perfect figure to it which reminded
me of my sister who has one unlike me :D</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The interior design of this four-wheeled beast tempted me to
run away with it! On the inside, the dashboard has a smooth finish with power steering.
TATA BOLT also has ensured that we are safe by providing us with the 9<sup>th</sup>
generation ABS by BOSCH ,CORNER
STABILITY CONTROL and DUAL Airbags. The seats are well cushioned and are made
of excellent quality fabric. TATA bolt boasts of an inbuilt HARMAN infotainment
system which promises to help the customers have uninterrupted internet
connectivity. The infotainment system <span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T11:06"> </del></span>comprises
of a 5’’ screen and can be connected to
a wide range of smart phones. It also includes features like advanced Bluetooth
technology, voice recognition and smart phone integration. The smart phone
integration with the infotainment system enables me to use the <span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T11:06"> </del></span>apps installed on my phone along
with the system and ensures a fun packed drive. You could switch on to internet
radio, podcasts and stay tuned to all the classics on that wonderful long drive
of yours. I would say, get this beauty out in the night, tune into your
favourite FM channel<span class="msoDel"><del cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T11:07"> </del></span>,<span class="msoIns"><ins cite="mailto:GRI" datetime="2015-01-27T11:07"> </ins></span>switch on to the

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">There have been no ifs and buts , No or's and And's in my life. I have always made the decision that i wanted to. This could be mostly because of my upbringing or rather the type of people I have grown up with. I have been taught to be independent and be an architect of my own dreams.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In a country where in people want their daughters to get married , leave their jobs and look after the kids I was lucky to be born in a place where my Mom said sky is the limit for you. You need to grow and there is no stopping you. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Having heard this a million times from my mom, I have seen her following the same too. I have grown up seeing her juggling her work, her studies and our studies. Right at the age of 16 she stepped into the big bad world of Mumbai. Doing petty jobs, she saved the money and would send money back to her widowed mother and a kid brother. She has slogged to make a life of her own. I remember my mom doing her BA studies when i was in school. I would see her studying along with me. She was married and had two kids but nothing stopped her. She managed her studies , our studies and our home so effortlessly. Not a single day i remember when we would go without breakfast or lunch . Be it 4am in the morning or 12 am in the night she would be ready with the food whenever you ask her for.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Being a mom like her is something that I aim to be , someone who encouraged her kids to grow and nurture. She loved singing and dancing , a luxury which she could never have but she ensured her kids got a formal training. I remember her dropping me to my classes and hopping away to buy veggies for dinner.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My mom is an inspiration. She is a lady whom i look up to. Though she is old fashioned but her thoughts aren't . When my sister got married, the first thing she told her in-laws was ," I just have one condition. I want my daughter to grow.I want her to work. I have made her an engineer because i want her to achieve a position something that I couldn't." Those words left me inspired.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">She has always taught me to be fearless and do what I thought was right.When it came to</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">career matters, there was never an OR in her life. She always suggested <em style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19px;"><a href="http://useyourand.blogadda.com/" style="color: #b85b5a; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank" title="#UseYourAnd activity at BlogAdda">#UseYourAnd</a> . </em></span><br />

Travelliing for 4 hours to and fro from dombivli to Nariman point ,she worked
relentlessly for over 30 years and now finally she has retired. Met me few days
back, and she said "Retirement life sucks and something has to be
done" Such is her thirst to do something in life.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

Two years back , when she had been transferred to Delhi, there came a situation
where she had to choose between Mumbai - her home where her family was OR Delhi
- where her career belonged to. She asked me if I could take care of home in
her absence. My sister wasn't quite happy with her going away leaving me and
dad alone but I strongly believed she should go ahead with her career. I
felt i would be selfish in holding her back .She was the one who had never
given me the option of career<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>OR<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>marriage<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>OR</b><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>any such options. All that she gave me
were innumerable<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span><b>AND's<span class="apple-converted-space"> </span></b>in my life at the expense of her
sacrifices. It was time to give it all back. It was time to let her pursue her
dreams. My dad let her go too. She stayed there for 2 years and came back when
she wanted to. I am proud I could do my bit to pursue my moms dreams of several
And's.</span><span style="font-size: 11pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sky is the limit for
me…. Every day I wake up and I have this feeling that am racing against time. There is so
little time left and have so much to achieve in life. This very feeling encourages me to push myself to achieve more
. I just don’t want to stop . I want to
keep doing things . I want to learn more
, achieve more. You can call me ambitious, but I feel am simply passionate about
learning new stuff. My thirst of learning new things is simply insatiable.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Nerd </b>: I was a nerd
in school with those geeky glasses and someone who would always be buried under
the heap of books. I was a ranker and I
always wanted to be a ranker in whatever
I did. I was hardworking to the core. I ate, I drank , I breathed the very
ambition of being a doctor someday in my life. The very thought of seeing
myself in the white apron pushed me to slog day and night. School days came to
an end and so did junior college. Things didn’t go the way I wanted do… I got
an admission for Engineering rather than Medical as I always dreamt of.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">An Engineer:</b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> I always
thought I could never be an engineer. Understanding technicalities and working
on the same wasn’t my cup of tea. I cried , I frowned because I felt I was
stuck in something I couldn’t relate to. But somehow I came to terms with
reality and accepted the fact that I need to be good in whatever I do rather
than cribbing over what I couldn’t be in life.</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Working hard through out the</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">four
years I passed out with flying colours .</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A Teacher:</b> Yes, you
are right a technical job wasn’t my first job. I remember my dad refusing money
for buying some artificial jewellery for which I was crazy at that time. And my
mom telling me bluntly,” If you want it, earn it .” And that somehow hit me so badly and I decided that henceforth I would never ask
them for a single penny. And that is how I started with my first job. Teaching
a bunch of students at my place for a small amount ranging from 100-300 bucks.
All these kids belonged to lower economic groups. The joy of
teaching them was priceless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>An Engineer: </b> Recession hit the
techies back in 2008 and most of us lacked a well paying technical job. Eight months after the results were out, I
landed my first job as a techie in PATNI computers. Even though coding wasn’t my cup of tea , I have worked hard enough to
meet the expectations of my peers and senior colleagues. Am proud to say that I
am doing well in a field I thought I would never take a step into.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A Singer:</b> Music has been a part of my life right from my childhood. Mom
would tie my piggytails and drop me for an hour of Carnatic Training. Initially
what I thought was boring somehow became my lifeline. From singing in bathrooms
and then on stage, it somehow became an indispensable part of my life. As a
techie in the software firm , I did everything to stay in touch with the noble
art of music. Right from singing in stage to jails and orphanages I have did it
all. The claps and loud cheer from the audience encouraged me everytime to go back there and perform. I have forgotten
lyrics, I have missed the tune at times but its an ongoing fight to make it the
best .<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Dancer: </b> I tied ghungroo on my
feet at the age of 5. I would be a coy child and I knew I never danced well. No
appreciation from the guru further strengthened my resolved. Eight years passed
by like that and at the ripe age of 13, I did my Arrangetram ( my first stage
performance) and I danced like no one was watching. I performed roles that no
one could with ease and finesse. Applauded and cheered for being a good
performer I went on to perform in various states of our country. I danced till
the age of 25 and have taken a sabbatical now from Bharat Natyam and Kuchipudi.
Tied a ghungroo on my feet I can still enthrall the audience with my
expressions and grace. Somehow after my marriage I feel getting involved in an
another dance form just to stay attached with the art. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Blogger: </b>Tired of my endless
blabbering , a friend suggested me to
start writing. He thought I could put my
endless thoughts into words and he would be relieved for a while. I thought it wasn’t a bad idea and took upto blogging. Won several accolades
and prizes, blogging just became an integral part of my life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A daughter :</b> I can say I have been a good daughter. Good in the sense,
independent to the core, my parents never had to worry about anything be it my
studies, my marriage, my classes ..i can say and even they would agree to this
that am a self made person. I have made my decisions and have abided them. Good
or bad I have taken it in my stride and have learnt from the same.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A daughter in law : </b>Just three months into the marriage , am not sure
what kind of a daughter in law I am. But quite sure of the fact that am not
giving people a tough time at my in laws as my mom had expected :D A food lover and someone who loves to cook and
experiment with food, I love cooking for my family. Am not a superchef but
someone who loves cooking for my folks. At times the food turns super yumm and at times it
just deserves to go down the drain. As I blog, my poor in laws are hogging a
bowl of miserably cooked Hakka noodles. But whenever my mom-in-law says its
good, my heart leaps with joy.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>A wife : </b>Am more of a friend
than a wife to my husband. We discuss
everything right from gals to each other’s dirtiest secrets. Am not sure whether am the
perfect wife that my husband looked out for but I have made sure my
imperfections haven’t come in the way of our married life. Am like that typical
wife who waits for the husband to come and have dinner ,A wife who hugs him when
he is back home after work, a wife who want to see her hubby eat etc etc.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>Sister:</b> I am also A younger sister to my sibling who is somewhere reading
this article and planning to correct all my mistakes in this article. We have
come a long way right from the worst
fights that we had where in neighbours would come and drag us apart to the fact
that I could punch in anyone’s face who talk ill against my sister. I can fight
with my sister but if you fight….oh boy!! You are in total mess! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Apart from all this , am into Scrabble,badminton and social work.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is ME! This is my small world..my world filled with music,dance
arts ,my family , my friends,my hubby.. My life is incomplete without all of
them. I juggle all these responsibilities all at a time. People ask me how I find
time for all these activities…. Its my belief that if you are passionate about
anything in your life you just have all
the time in the world.. Nothing can stop you
.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So what if you are married, so what if you are a mom to a toddler…make
time for yourself. Let your hair loose and have fun doing what you love the
most. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would say be a little selfish
and save that small amount of time for yourself doing what you love the
most.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Just grabbed yesterday’s
Hindustan Times and read Deepika
Padukone talking about anxiety and depression. I read her article and it took
me years back when I was battling against the same.It all started when I was
studying for engineering and suddenly one day I had the same feeling that she
has rightly described as an ‘ empty feeling’. It was difficult to understand as to what was
happening.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I couldn’t even express what
I was going through. Explaining it to my parents was difficult too. I didn’t
know what to tell them what I was going
through. It began with palpitations(increased heart beats), panic attacks and sudden
emotional outbursts in public. I would breakdown for reasons unknown to me. I explained my ordeal to mom and since my
sister had gone through the same we were
quite familiar with the term ‘ anxiety ‘
in the family. My parents thought it was initial stress and it
would just go away with me relaxing and avoiding too much of stress. It was difficult for me to concentrate
on anything. I couldn’t bear being in a crowd and would
break down very often. I would gasp for breath and at times would feel choked
up. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would try hard to focus on stuff other than the empty
feeling and would try to keep my mind indulged in other activities.It would
give me momentary relief . I would feel better.
I started keeping myself busy. It did help me up to some extent but then
what would I do on busy streets. I lost my confidence . When ever I would see a train approaching a station I
would debate in my mind, “Will I be able to board this or won’t I “ . This
mental debate would leave me waiting at station for hours, lost and scared. I
researched a lot on these symptoms and since my sister already had gone through
it I knew it was anxiety neurosis and a beginning of depression. I would cry
for reasons unknown . I would feel weak and limbless ,lethargic . I would find it
difficult to get up from bed on certain days. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My dad would always ask me, “ Anxious and depressed at this
age? What is your age,24?” . Discussing with friends would be like explaining
rocket science. My friends would be like you are so strong mentally , how can
you be depressed. My parents were always worried about me and never left me
alone . Though I never thought of ending up my life but an
approaching train would bring up several thoughts. I was always surrounded by friends but I always felt
lonely. I always had my boyfriend around and had the best
relationship ever but I would still be
unhappy. My boyfriend would often wonder what he had done to upset me so much
that I would suddenly burst into tears.
And one day the condition became so
worse in the middle of a busy road , I felt someone was strangulating me to
death . I couldn’t breathe and I checked myself into a local dispensary where
in the doctor put me on bed for an hour , offered me water and after some time
I was back on feet. That is when I knew I
had to seriously do something about it.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I confided in my then boyfriend and now husband and we
decided to visit a psychiatrist. I knew I needed medical help . I knew I couldn’t
do it alone. I tried medical counselling
too just like Deepika did. But it was of momentary relief and moreover
meditating at all the places isn’t something
that is possible. I tried Homeopathy too
and surprisingly one of the doctors even said since I was past the age of
getting married, it’s the sexual frustration that was leading into this. I was appalled by the ignorance . Needless to say that it was the last time I
ever went again to the doctor. Finally took Allopathy treatment for a year
and now I can say I am completely free
and the confidence is back.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If you need help ask for it. There is nothing to be ashamed
of it . And during my period of treatment my doctor had several counselling
sessions for my parents too so that even they could understand what exactly I was
going through. I too would think at times whether I should tell my friends about my psychiatric counselling and would think what would be their reaction
. Going to a psychiatrist doesn’t make you crazy. It is just like going to a doctor
for fever or jaundice. The treatment and
the therapy made me stronger , further strengthened my belief that I am perfectly normal and that I can come out
of it stronger and healthier.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have seen a lot of my friends going through the same but
the very thought of going to a psychiatrist makes them think twice. They feel they are going to be
better soon without any help. Just talking it out with friends doesn’t help
much, it helps upto some extent but it could be detrimental too at times
because there is too much of an ignorance regarding this . Not all those who
are sad are depressed and vice versa.
There is a world of difference between being sad and depressed. The word
depressed is highly misunderstood . It’s
necessary to nip the problem from the bud. And let me tell you everyone and
anyone can be depressed ..it doesn’t matter whether you are strong weak ,tall
or short etc. It’s the worst feeling ever.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s great to see actors coming out of the closet and
discussing their personal issues and actually trying to do something about it.
Hats Off to Deepika for coming up with such an initiative and for speaking her
mind . I could actually relate completely with her when I read her article. It
was exactly that I went through. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It’s necessary you open up with your close ones during such
a period but don’t be ashamed of taking medical help.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>

</h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sex is one of the many ways of expressing love. Sex is the very reason of our existence. Sex is the very reason why you and I am here. Sex !Sex! Sex - an overhyped word done by all but spoken by none.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sex is treated as a taboo in many countries. In this 21st century when we have reached Mars, we are still toying with the idea of Pre- Marital Sex - Yes or No! Before the Moral Police lashes out against my blog let me tell you I am not someone who is promoting pre-marital sex neither am I someone who is against it. But who decides what is right or wrong ? Who decides pre- marital sex is a sin? The spineless society? or You or is it me ? .Are we leaving our decisions to the spineless society which acts inert when every hour a girl gets raped -ie. sex without her consent or forced sex or you/me? who reads the very news of rape in the paper every morning and does nothing about it. The very society who bans sex education in schools and we do nothing about it. One thing that all must to come to terms with is we weren't born as a result of cross pollination. Our parents did it and we will do it too sometime in future may be before marriage or after marriage.</span></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Whether its right to do IT(using the pronoun because by now am expecting activists outside my home for the overusage of the word SEX) before marriage or after marriage is a matter of choice which must be left open for the individuals involved to decide.I and my partner should have the freedom to decide when and how i should express my love to my partner. Sex is the need of every human being just like food ,clothing and shelter. And every single individual needs the same. You are not a whore if you do it before marriage,with whom you do and what all you do is again your choice.Its just like i wanted a new jeans , i brought it. Sex is the very basic need of an individual - this is something I need not explain being a citizen of the country with the second highest population in the world. Obviously all these people just didn't drop down one day from the sky. They all did ITeither before or after marriage. Then what difference does it make if you do it before or after marriage.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"> Marriage is just an announcement to the whole world indirectly that these two people involved in the marriage will be sleeping around together henceforth.I am yet to come to terms with the fact that how parents can send in their daughters with an unknown person one fine day to sleep around and be totally dead against if the daughters do the same thing before marriage.How can a marriage decide what is right or wrong. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As per my opinion , Sex is something which is a very personal thing in a couple's life and no one should have the right to interfere in a couple's life and decide what is right or wrong. It is totally a couple's view and their decision how they decide to take their relationship to the next level.If the question is about getting dumped after pre marital sex; there are many cases where in people get married and dump their brides after the first night or the over hyped "Suhag rat " in India( first night after wedding).But the same issue can also be looked at from a different point of view. Pre marital sex will leave no surprises after marriage. No excitement of the first touch, first kiss , first hug ;nothing new left to experience after marriage. </span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Again i would repeat its the decision of the couple as to what has to be done.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sex isn't a crime . So the question of whether doing it before or after would be right or wrong doesn't arise at all.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sex is a beautiful expression of love. Dont criminalize it.</span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a51; line-height: 32px;">This post is written as part of a contest <a href="https://www.indiblogger.in/topic.php?topic=130">YES or NO to Pre-Marital Sex</a> on Indiblogger.</i></span></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i style="background-color: white; color: #3a3a51; line-height: 32px;">Poonaam Uppal ,the Love Goddess unravels the various secrets of love in her book – <a href="http://www.flipkart.com/passionaate-gospel-true-love-mystical-story-english/p/itmd9ybcf9qm7sca?pid=9788192105109&ref=665a3878-5c80-4a50-b0a3-c20af207cfd7&srno=t_1&otracker=from-search&query=poonaam+uppal+"><span style="color: #77924b;"><span style="-webkit-transition: 0.2s ease-out; font-style: inherit; font-weight: inherit; transition: 0.2s ease-out;">A Passionate Gospel of True Love : A Mystical True Love Story</span></span>.</a> Read on....</i></span></span></h3>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b> </b>When I was asked to review the book, the first reason why I decided to review the book was the name
Nirbhaya . I thought this was one such book where in again the plight of women
would be described. Nirbhaya the name will always remain an epitome of the atrocities
of men against women.Nirbhaya will always remind us of someone who succumbed to
the atrocities of men. But this book came out to be different. Kusum Chopra has empowered the name Nirbhaya
and has portrayed women as very strong
protagonists in each and every story. Instead of portraying the
characters as someone getting suppressed , the writer sends out a strong
message with the strong characters that
its time to speak out, and act against the atrocities of men. The writer has beautifully
etched out several stories where in she tries to convey the following messages</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- that its fine to look out for sex elsewhere for women , as
it is for men.Looking out for sex
outside doesn’t make you a slut.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- women have equal rights on their parent’s property as men.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- A widow neednot waste her entire life taking care of her
in laws. She should be allowed to lead a life of her own.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">- Divorce isn’t the end of life. And divorce isn’t a women’s fault. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">-that it is necessary to fight against an alcoholic and abusive
husband.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Several stories which portray women as bold ,courageous and
their battle against the orthodox rules of the society form the main crux of
this book.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A different outlook totally , and me being a feminist myself
this book is a welcome change compared
to so many books which show women in poor light.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This book made me think on all the topics highlighted in the
book as to what would have been my reaction or how would I have behaved in all
such instances.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This book is the need of the hour and may be an answer today
to most of the problems women are
silently facing today even in metropolitan cities.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Con:<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b> </b>Some stories have a confusing start , and
I had to read twice to understand about whom the story was revolving around. At
Rs.250 I feel the book is overlypriced.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Overall: <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The book makes up for
an interesting read during tea time and will keep you engrossed.</span></div>

An indiblogger initiative along with <a href="http://www.pblskin.com/">Parachute Advansed Lotion </a>#BringBackTheTouch.<br />
It was their 50th wedding anniversary.Their marriage had lost the sheen it had years ago.Revathi wondered whether Ravi even remembered their wedding date. She kept thinking about their dating days. It was different.But things had changed. After two kids and their responsibilities had come up, their marriage had totally taken a different turn.Revathi was lost in thoughts as she did the house hold work. It was 11am and Ravi had left for work.<br />
<br />
Revathi had decided to rest for a while before cooking up for lunch.She knew Ravi would be home by 1 for lunch. She wondered whether she should cook something special. She wondered whether it would remind Ravi what was special about the day.She took a nap and woke up to rush straight into the kitchen to whip up something edible for lunch. By 1 everything was ready.Revathi had decided to cook something simple but it turned out to be an elaborate affair. She arranged the food on the table and waited for Ravi to come. <br />
The bell rang.Revathi rushed to open the door for Ravi.Her life had become monotonous,She thought.She served food as Ravi sat hungrily to have the lunch. She expected Ravi to appreciate her cooking .But she knew Ravi never did that. The last time he ever did was during their college days when she would cook up an omlette during their night outs. She sat next to him and saw him eat. She felt happy as Ravi had no complaints about the lunch. As she was about to leave Ravi held her hand and asked her to have a seat.It was years since something like this ever happened. Ravi still kept holding her hand .That was the touch Revathi had longed for since years. "Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary" wished Ravi and handed over abox of chocolates. "You remembered?" , exclaimed Revathi in excitement.Ravi hugged her tight as tears of joy flowed down her cheeks. <br />
<div>

Bring back the touch in your boring monotonous lives.Bring back the love like many such couples like Nimrat in the video below as well as Revathi and Ravi. Rekindle your romance with a lovely touch.<br />

An initiative by <a href="https://www.blogger.com/indiblogger.in">Indiblogger</a> and <a href="http://domex.in/">Domex</a> to give dignified lives to kids. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The country is plagued by so many issues – social,health etc etc. But one of the most heart wrenching issues that we face is lack of toilets for our country men. This is not just the case in villages but also Metropolitan cities like Mumbai. If you are a Mumbaikar and you use local trains for commuting to and fro, the very first sight in the morning that you see is of people defecating in the open near railway tracks. When I say people, it includes every gender. Most of us who would be reading this blog am sure would have their own toilets and wouldn’t have to defecate in the open. Just imagine one morning you are asked to go and use the main road or the area around the track as your toilet . How humiliating it is to bare your ass and defecate in the open when there are lakhs of eyes viewing your bare ass on their way to office. The thought itself is disturbing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Apart from being a matter of humiliation, It also questions the very development and progress taking place in our country. The year 2014 boasts of India’s successful mission to Mars, but the very shameful fact is that, though we have been successful enough to achieve the impossible , we are still a failure when it comes to providing our very own country men the basic facilities of sanitation . We have all seen public toilets or pay and use toilets but the condition of the toilets are so pathetic that it is difficult to step inside. The thought of using public toilets makes one sick.Apart from the fact that the number of public toilets are very few for people to use, the ones that are available are dark, smelly ,not maintained properly. People in villages as well as cities also avoid public toilets for personal safety as toilets are at a distance from the house and going there can be risky late nights. There have also been crimes reported ,of women being raped, men being robbed,kids being kidnapped and raped while using the public toilets in the dark. These are some of the main reasons why people avoid using the existing toilets and prefer defecating in the open.<br />
<br />
The lack of sanitation or open defecation is also the main cause of several health hazards like diarrhoea ,typhoid as well as other intestinal infections. Recently we have also seen our Prime Minister promising public toilets for every village. He has been giving utmost significance in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in India. But is it possible with just one person shouting and blabbering about the importance of maintaining hygiene. We can eradicate open defecation as well as the health hazards associated with it if each and every individual decides to. Keeping public toilets clean after use is our responsibility. Keeping them as clean as we would want it to be when we want to use it can improve the conditions of public toilets. Politicians and the leaders can provide facilities like street lights, toilets for use in every nook and corner as well as play a significant role in maintaining the hygiene in these toilets.But again it’s all about changing the mindset of the people and spreading awareness about the significance of cleanliness. Strengthening this initiative and carrying the same thought process forward Domex has come up with this initiative which promises toilets for kids so that the kids get a chance to live a dignified life.<br />
<br />
<br />
The initiative “Toilet for Babli” promises to eradicate open defecation and bring about a change in the lives of millions of kids. Such a noble initiative requires support from all of us. All you need to do is “click” on the “Contribute Tab” on www.domex.in and Domex will contribute Rs.5 on your behalf to eradicate open defecation, thereby helping kids like Babli live a dignified life. All that every one wants is a dignified life where in one doesn’t have to compromise for the basic amenities .

<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">“Oh! dear Tara you are yet to make the tea I asked for... Quick! Come on.... you know that I hate delays " said Aryan Ahuja in a stern tone. Tara was totally numb with the news that was aired that Shekhar was the culprit and he was the mastermind behind the hijack. Her world had crashed, she had no idea as to what could be done. Her phone had started ringing non stop the moment the news was aired. She was clueless as to how she could save herself and Roohi from the hellhole which she considered was a safe house...What an irony she thought!! she had been trapped in the very same house she considered safe. Tara moves into the kitchen lost in her thoughts and starts preparing tea for Aryan. Aryan kept sending instructions which she didn't care to hear. " Darling, two spoons of sugar" said Aryan and laughed hysterically. " Shut up! Just get out of our lives " cried out Tara. Aryan was surprised by Tara's outburst and in a sudden fit of anger pulled her by her hair. " Look , am here to get all those information about Xombie that you have. You better don't make me a monster. Do as I say ! your husband is a fool, I wonder how he could risk his beautiful wife and his precious daughter's life for a bloody piece of information." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Tara trembled in fear as the grip on her began to loosen. She could fight him out but she was losing the mental strength for the same. She was not sure what she had to do. She couldn't trust Aryan as to whether he would let them live even after the information was shared. She knew there were a lot of people involved in the same and Ahuja was just a pawn . She knew they were dangerous and she didn't wish to risk her life for the same. Tara places the cup of tea infront of Aryan. "That's like my good girl" said Ahuja... "Now as i relish your refreshing tea, you go and get all the information that I am seeking for . Go! you should be here by the time I finish this tea or else am going to finish you off", barked Ahuja red with anger Tara hurried to Roohi's room to ensure she was safe . On seeing Roohi sleep blissfully Tara broke into tears blaming herself for getting her family into so much of trouble. She knew this wasnt something Roohi deserved. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">She knew she had to fight Ahuja. But how ! how could she do that. She decided to share all the non essential details with Ahuja and decided to convince him that this was all she had and that her husband was innocent. Tara hurried with some papers out of Roohi's room and locked the room carefully. She handed over the papers to Ahuja and pleaded him to leave. "This is all that I have .</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> Please leave us alone." cried out Tara. "Thats like a good girl , Give it to me.. let me see those papers ", smiled Ahuja . Ahuja went through the papers and Tara could see his temper rising. She had decided she would not give away the information whatever may come. Tara was lost in thoughts when Ahuja got up from his seat and slapped Tara hard on her face. " Don't you try acting smart with me. Am not going to fall for this kind of nonsense. I give you one more chance, go get the information" he growled. Ahuja continued ," You know what, this kind of a publicity is something that we like. Any kind of publicity is good for us. We want people to talk about us. And when you started working on the same, we were happy that we were getting a journalist covering our story for free... Hahhaha!!! This is just free publicity for us.. your stupid work amounts to free publicity.. And look at you... , you are risking your life to give us publicity.. HAHAHAH!!!! I am loving this" Tara couldn't believe what Ahuja kept blabbering. She was disgusted with her profession , she wondered where her job had put her into. Ahuja's voice disturbed her thoughts, "But you know what you did a grave mistake.. You acted smart... You collected more information that you should have ever done... You have the information about our Chief..." Tara was left wide eyed. She wondered who was the Chief of all the names she had. She never had realised that she had reached the end of her investigation because Sarkar had assigned her to an other project on priority. It had come from her top bosses and it was difficult for her to refuse. She now realised that every single person was hand in glove in this mission. "Go... Get me all the information..Come on...fast!" screamed Ahuja. Tara was too shocked to move because of all the information she had heard from Ahuja in the last 30 seconds. Ahuja was fuming and seeing Tara's no reaction to the same he was not sure as to what he would end up doing. Tara rushed in hurriedly to get all the information. She knew she had to live for her family. She handed over her spare laptop to Ahuja. And then there was a loud noise from the room followed by a shriek .<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">A tale woven by craftsmen in the Team '<b>Supernova'</b>.</span></i><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<br />
<br />
<span style="color: blue; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Read the previous part of the story <a href="http://soumya-hintofme.blogspot.in/2014/09/chapter-8-finally-answer.html" target="_blank"><b><span style="color: blue;">here</span></b></a></span><span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Jennifer kept thinking hard what Sasha was expecting from her. She kept thinking what had possibly gone wrong that summer. Jennifer had just joined Damania Engineering College. Jennifer was a bright student and was an ardent art lover. She was someone who had no plans in her life. Everything she did was spontaneous and had to be total fun. She was totally different from the other girls in her college. On the first day, she remembered how she had come in late and how she had to be seated around an extremely feminine and stylish girl called Alka. Alka and Jennifer were different as chalk and cheese but something had clicked between them. Their friendship slowly became the talk of the college. They would bunk lectures, hang out in the college and have fun. They would go shopping together , hogging around in all the eateries and would act totally crazy when around.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Alka came in from a upper middle class background whereas Jennifer belonged to a middle class family . But this never affected their friendship. They were like soul sisters. Every student in their class wanted to hang out with these cool chicks in the college. Slowly and gradually they became a group of 5 , all kids of influential parents except for Jenniffer. Alka and Jennifer became hostel roomies too. Jennifer had shifted to Mumbai for her engineering studies but her interests lied somewhere else. She always wanted to do something exciting, like covering crime journalism. Alka , she just wanted a degree.All that she had to do was manage her dad’s flourishing business.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was just a month after their joining that their seniors had announced a Fresher's party. This year the college seemed to have announced Fresher's party. Everyone seemed to be excited for the party. The party was just a polite and decent way introduced by the seniors to rag the freshers and that too in front of the teachers. The date was announced and the venue was declared for the party. But Jeniffer’s group already had a plan set for the same day. They had decided to hang out in a friend’s farmhouse that weekend. And now this fresher’s party had come up.It wasn’t a tough decision choosing which party to attend for a gal like Jennifer who had her own rules of life.The other 4 in the group followed whatever Jeff (<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">as her friends would call her lovingly) said.</i> <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><o:p></o:p></i></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">They bunked the Fresher's party and headed to the farmhouse in Lonavla which belonged to one of their classmates, Mohit. They had decided to party all night. Booze and drugs all were arranged to add in more fun. . Late night the gang of 5 headed to Lonavla. Jennifer remembered, that was a night of fun. Alcohol flowed in abundance. No one to control over her. She was a free bird unlike in Cochin where her dad would control her every movement. She remembered him as a control freak. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">On the other hand Alka was totally high on booze. She was getting close and cozy with her boyfriend of a month who was also called in for the party. Alka was totally out of control and Jennifer poured in more alcohol for her. Jennifer screamed in euphoria, “Have it more babes, Lets rock the party!" In the next few hours, the party became wild. Everyone in the party was lying around drunk.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Alka was having a wild time with her boyfriend. But Jennifer knew that was a night they all wanted away from their parents, they wanted their own world of fun. Jennifer had no guy around to hook up with, so she decided to hook up with the first love of her life, her camera. She clicked pictures of the party of everyone doing stupid stuff. She laughed thinking how the pictures of her classmates were going to embarass them once they came back to their senses. She knew, they were going to beg of her to clean up those pictures. But Jennifer had a rule, " Nothing clicked by her camera ever goes to the trash. It stays with her no matter what". She decided to explore the farmhouse and ventured out. She was drunk but she didn’t care about anything. Jeniffer had an eye for beauty and unusual stuff. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She went "Click Click Click " capturing whatever she saw.. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">The next morning as she woke up She found herself in the farmhouse with a heavy head and severe headache. Everyone around her was tensed. She woke up and dragged herself out and asked her classmates what had happened. Jennifer remembered someone saying " Alka was dead" and that is when reality struck her. How! What ! What are you saying?? Jennifer had screamed.She couldn’t believe what she had heard.But everyone seemed as clueless as Jennifer was. Jennifer had regretted making this plan and heading to Lonavla for a night of fun. Jennifer had a faint picture of Alka going out with her Boyfriend. That was the only ever image in her mind that she had of Alka.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Jennifer tried to think hard what had happened next... She remembered her running crazily to find her camera and go through the pictures. The camera had last snaps of Alka and her boyfriend on the road outside the farmhouse .They were seen cozying up in his swanky new car . <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Jennifer cried out loud. Shekhar and Cyrus rushed to her help and asked her what had gone wrong. Jennifer had realised that Alka's death had some connection with the whole Sasha thing. Jennifers camera also had some pics of unknown strangers in the party and their was one face who was in every snap of Alka's. He was always in the background or somewhere around Alka. Jennifer had wondered who the guy was then but she hadn't paid heed to it. But somehow she now felt that fellow had some connection to it. Jennifer opened up everything to Shekhar and Cyrus about the party and everything she could remember had happened that night. She also told about the unknown stranger she had seen in the party. She also expressed concern as to who he would have been to Cyrus as he was also in the party.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cyrus remembered that it was indeed a tragic night and he never ever talked about that incident every to anyone. It was sad that a gal from the party had met with a tragic end and everyone in the party were grilled for hours by the police. That was one night he never wanted to be associated with and was reluctant to share whatever details he had with Jennifer and Shekhar. But their life was in danger and he had no choice. He had to share whatever he knew with Jeniffer.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Cyrus opened up. “There is something I want to share” , said Cyrus and paused thinking whether he was doing a right thing talking to two unknown strangers about that night. But did he have a choice?<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">He continued,”I do have an account of the party detail by detail written on my blog. You can read it there . I have also shared some photographs of the people from the party. I am not sure whether they would help us but you can go through it” . Jennifer tried surfing the net for Cyrus’s blog but realized that the network was jammed . “ Shit! This isn’t working. We are all going to die”, cried out Jennifer.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">Cyrus tried on his laptop and then realized their efforts were in vain. He browsed through some files and folders to find whether he could find the blog posts saved as drafts on his<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>laptop.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS','sans-serif'; font-size: 10pt;">“ Jeniffer, I think I have found it. This is the one .” said Cyrus. Both Shekhar and Jennifer peeped to check out the pics and the post.She was surprised with what she found. She kept staring into the screen . She became all pale and white. Did the post hold any clue to Alka's murder? Was the stranger found ? Was Cyrus sharing everything that he knew? Could their lives be saved… hundred thoughts ran across Jennifer’s mind.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As the train chugged
along , Shekhar pondered how his life had changed totally with the birth of
Roohi. His life totally revolved around her these days. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Roohi was Shekhar’s
nine year old daughter. Roohi was born after 7 years of his marriage with Tara.
He kept looking outside the window and was lost in his thoughts about his
marriage and life. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Tara and Shekhar were
college sweethearts. Shekhar had fallen for her the moment his eyes fell on
her. Tara was different from the other gals of his college. She was tall,
beautiful and carried herself very elegantly. She was someone whom every guy
wanted to date. Some how cupid struck and love had blossomed for the young
couple. Both Tara and Shekhar were different as chalk and cheese but
there was something that kept them going together. Shekhar wondered what was
that , that kept them going strong then. He broke into a smile lost in his
thoughts as he remembered the old days when they would bunk lectures to have
golgappas from a nearby vendor. Tara used to love them. It reminded him that it
has been days that they went out on such a date . He missed those long walks in
the rain , sharing tea from the same cup .Suddenly his thoughts were disturbed
by the sounds of “ Chai ! Chai”. The railway vendor served him tea .He was untidy and had worn torn
clothes. Shekhar was too lost in his thoughts to worry about the hygiene.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">As he sipped his tea,
he thought how Tara’s career and priorities had totally changed after marriage.
Shekhar remembered how pretty Tara looked in the wedding trousseau. She was
dressed in all the fineries and she looked quite a goddess .Shekhar remembered
how he couldn't stop looking at her and she kept gushing and blushing like
every other coy bride. Oh! those lovely wonderful days he thought! He also
realised how Tara's<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>priorities had
totally changed over the years. With multiple miscarriages she had, she had
lost hope in her life and had found peace in her career. She had become so
career obsessed that Shekhar had taken a backseat in her life. And then Roohi
had happened to them after so many years of their marriage. She was a cute
bonny baby. Her chubby cheeks and soft <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>brown hair <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>were signs of her resemblance to Tara. Her
eyes glistened every time Shekhar would take her out in the sunlight. Shekhar <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>was happy Roohi was blessed with her mother's
beauty. Day by day Shekhar had grown possessive of Roohi<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>so much so that Shekhar managed the house,
and Tara the office.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Roohi had grown into a
plump little girl. She was a totally spoilt child . Notorious and bigtime prankster
that she was , Roohi would often end up bullying kids of her age. Shekhar
always ignored her mistakes. Shekhar had spoilt her big time.She always got
whatever she ever wished for. She knew she could throw in tantrums and daddy
dearest would give into her wishes. But her mom was different. Strict and stern
, Tara had laid down rules for her. But she always believed that<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>" Rules were meant to be broken",
something that Shekhar had taught her during one of her long conversations she
had with her dad after school. And they both had laughed off Tara's rules and
guidelines. Shekhar would bring Roohi back from school and spend time playing
with her on weekends. Shekhar<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>still
remembered Roohi's fourth birthday which was celebrated in such a grand way in
one of the five star hotels in the city. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">She had asked for a big Disney themed
party and<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Shekhar couldn't <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>refuse. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Those days were full of fun , he thought. He
had started missing Tara and Roohi and he knew it was a long journey before he
could actually meet his loved ones. The train kept moving with speed and
Shekhar's excitement to meet his family just intensified every second. </span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Suddenly the train
screeched to a halt and the tea spilt over his denim pants. The hot tea flowing
down through his denims had brought him back to reality.</span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; mso-margin-bottom-alt: auto; mso-margin-top-alt: auto;">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Jennifer and Cyrus by
now had fallen sleep and the sudden jolt by the train disturbed their forty
winks. Jennifer's camera fell with a thud due to the sudden brakes applied and
she rushed in to save her costly camera. Cyrus looked around with surprise as
to what had caused the commotion.</span></span></div>

unadulterated pure fun and a place where we could hear some soothing and
soulful music. An attempt to get rid of your Monday blues. The Mondays at IGate
were something that I would look forward to. I usually sang with my
better half Suchitra Vaidynathan and we earned a name for us - Chitra

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">The
quality of the video isn't that great but it's one of our best performances and
we performed in front of 10000 odd audience and its one of the most memorable
events of my life. This post is not to brag about myself but to encourage
all my readers to overcome the stage fright that each one has.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">What
amazes me is the way I performed in front of such a strong crowd. I was
fearless .I didn't know what fear was. I didn't care how the performance was
going on. For the very first time I felt I sang for myself. People have an
presumed image of me as someone who's bold and someone who is fearless and so
performing on stage would be like a piece of cake for me.</span></span></div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">But
the truth is I have been booed many times during my college days and many times
I have walked down the stage with tears in my eyes. One such incident that I
would want to share with you guys is of my junior college days . We had an
elocution competition and I had to talk on some topic. I had prepared it well
and I thought I would crack it. I went to the stage as my name was called. The
hall was occupied with hardly 50 people. One look at the audience then and I had
went totally blank. I started with my speech ,I muttered something and then I
went blank. There was complete silence in the room, I was nervous and anxious
.I saw the audience staring at me waiting for me to speak a word atleast. The
judges asked me to finish it off and give another competitor a chance. I had
tears in my eyes and I asked the judges for one more chance. And they refused.
By then the audience had started hooting, giggling and I was in tears. I left
the room crying .I could have left the stage forever. I could have stopped
being on the stage forever. I could have left the stage forever. But it just
encouraged me further .I realized two things from the incident that the stage
is where I belong to and secondly I need to be the best if I wanted people to
cheer for me.</span></span></div>

</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif";">I
know many of my friends who are so talented but fear from performing in front
of people. Right from very young age parents identify the talent in their kids
and put them for various classes to hone their skills. But not many parents
encourage their kids to go and perform on the stage. Parents fear getting
embarrassed themselves and most of the time never encourage their kids to be
back on stage after one or two failed performances. I would suggest everyone
reading my post, If you think you have got it in you, just go there and
perform without being bothered about the world. Your first performances may be
a failure but that shouldn't stop you. Every time i get on to the stage, this
incident comes to my mind and I realise that i have hardly 5-6 min to prove
myself- so either I make it or break it. At times I dont even think about
anything I just do it for myself. No matter what your age is, being on the
stage has nothing to do with your age, you just have to be young at heart and you
just have to do things wholeheartedly.</span></span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"> Not Everyone is fat by choice.No one wants to be ridiculed as a Fatso.Everyone wants to be like the perfect model on the front cover of Vogue. But yes now i do realise we are responsible for all that happens with our body. A doctor had once told me this, " You are what you eat " and that had somehow made sense to me and had stayed in my thoughts for a longer time. And now i have totally started believing that I am what I eat. I was never a zero figure all my life nor i was an obese baby by birth. Slowly and gradually my weight kept increasing (thanks to all the corporate lunches and parties )and i didn't even realise when i turned 93. The first time the weighing scale showed 93 , I was alarmed. The warning bells had started ringing.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Apart from the weighing scale that i so so loathed to use everytime during a medical checkup, there were other factors too that forced me to lose weight. Frequently mocked and being ridiculed by people , I had started feeling depressed. Somewhere it had started affecting my level of confidence too. I was showered with so many embarrasing nicknames ( <i>moti,fatso etc etc)</i> . I didn't care what people told about me, but i somewhere felt that i was losing my identity. I am a software engineer, a blogger, a singer, a dancer but people never addressed me as“ a singer” or “ a dancer”.Inspite of being multi talented than most of them who called me names, i thought my talent was being overshadowed by my weight. I have had so many experiences wherein for stage shows I would be declined a role.Obviously the real reason never came up but it was put up diplomatically many a times. Not that I cared about people, as to what they said.It was a fight against my will power. I questioned myself whether I was this weak that I could succumb to fatty foods and risk my life when I had such a beautiful life ahead to enjoy. </span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">And that is when i decided I am going to walk my calories away.I wake up early in the morning and go in for a jog or a walk with my bestie Anu. If you plan to go for
walks ,always have a company. Try to rope in a friend, your spouse,
your parents etc who are tough taskmasters and will see to it that you
jump off the bed.You need such company so that the other person is always motivated to shed off the calories.Anu is one such task master and thanks to her I don't
miss a single day. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Its been 6 months and i am 11 kilos lighter.The more I walked , the more the effects became visible and the more confident I was. You can see the change in the pic below.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Morning walks along with a proper diet plan are the best thing if you are planning to lose weight. I used to wonder whether walks are effective, but the picture speaks volumes. And yes dont start with the expectation that the results would be visible the next day... you need to have loads of patience.. you need to wait patiently with a positive attitude.Set up goals for the week and try to achieve it...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">If you are on the heavier side and you think you are going through everything exactly what i have been, its time you question your inner conscience and get your life back on track. <b>No one is born perfect but nothing can stop you from being perfect</b>. There may be times when you plan to lose weight and suddenly you find yourself hogging.Just question yourself what is more important to you an air filled bag of chips or your son /daughter who would be joining the kindergarten soon. Being with people who spread positivity also helps a lot in the battle to lose weight. Be with people who accept the way you are and motivate you. My fiancee accepted me the way i am ( yes with 93 kilos) and that further strengthened my resolve to lose weight and be perfect for someone who has accepted the imperfect ME! Also there is nothing like I cant lose weight or I cant do this or that... Everything is possible, if you believe in yourself...if you love your life. Start loving your body and see the results....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Trust me where there is a strong will power to achieve something in life, nothing or no one can stop you...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />Few months back,i was totally bored with nothing exciting happening in my life. I decided to add few colors to my life. I pondered what to do, how to do... And i finally decided,i will actually add some colors practically if not to my life, to my hair....</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">I went to my parlor and asked the lady to get my hair colored. I had always imagined my hair to be burgundy in color. Unfortunately i ended up forgetting the shade that i wanted to apply on my hair.(yeah ! yeah blame it on my growing age)</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />The lady kept guessing, is it blond that you want? I am like.. eww no! A person with a wheatish complexion like me would end up looking like an African bird.. Then she said , what about copper color? And i was like.. emmm.. ok!! Lets try copper...We set out on the expedition of adding colors to my hair and indirectly adding to my life. She kept working on it and finally the time came in when she revealed her experiment on my hair with utmost pride.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />I looked at the mirror and shrieked. My hair looked like this</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"> #dont i look like an Australian Imported Rare Breed Bird ? :(:(</span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">.. It not only took away colors from my life, but also from my face.. My face had turned pale. I was not happy with the color et all.. And there was no chance that the color would fade away soon.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />I resembled an imported bird with different shades of copper all on my hair. I did not know what to do and i cursed myself to go by the stupid plan. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />I somehow wanted to get rid of this newly imported feathers and somehow tried to hide it. On the first day of the office, people were like,"Hello, whats this?" and i tied up my hair in a bun to save myself the embarrassment. I also became the butt of jokes of so many of my friend circles. I decided to get rid of the color by applying the not-so-timely-recalled burgundy color. Home experiments followed suit one after the another. My mom who arrived from Delhi a few weeks later wept and weaned and kept cursing me,"Guptaji will never accept a bahu (daughter-in-law)like this. God! what have i done to see this day"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;"><br />Lots of melodrama, lots of stress and lots of chemical based color spoilt the texture of my hair. My hair became lifeless. It became dull and drab .The very reason i want to recharge my hair is though i look like an imported costly bird these days, i at least want to look that i belong to a good breed :P I want my hair to regain the shine , luster and beauty back . Only this will add zeal to my life and recharge me too. I wouldn't have to hide my hair in buns, ponytails and under shawls. I can be a free bird...emm gal.. and My hair will start breathing too.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS","sans-serif"; font-size: 10pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">And that is when my friend suggested me Sunsilk. In her words," Oye birdy, One stop solution to all your hair problems.. Sunsilk!!!Ever touched silk, that would be the texture of your hair once drops of sunsilk fall on your hair. From the seasonal bird to the gal with the beautiful hair, the transition will happen in no time..</span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I do crib a lot in life. A lot about my looks, a lot about my hair, my face etc etc… And I think most of us do thanks to beauty obsessed world; the fair skinned obsessed world that we belong to… Yesterday,some thing happened, reality struck. It made me wonder whether this obsession over looking good, the fad diets, the size zero figure and living life with a lot of restrictions made sense.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I met someone last night. I have known him since childhood. He was always hale and hearty and had no such habits like drinking, smoking. He was neither obese nor malnourished. But yesterday he looked like a bag of bones. Skin hung loose on his petite frame. He looked sick and lost. Someone told me he had been battling liver cancer. He couldn’t drink, eat or sleep. He was holding on to his life. Something in me changed the night I saw him on his deathbed. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">I wondered whether cribbing about looking good actually did matter. I wondered whether restricting ourselves from eating, drinking and any other stuff actually mattered. I have seen people following ridiculous diets, abstaining oneself from the simple joys of life. I am not promoting eating junk food or anything over here. But going all bonkers over eating a chocolate mousse isn’t worth it. I wouldn’t say go and hog chocolate mousse every day But then it’s fine if you decide to skip your diet for a last day and indulge in a sinful chocolate mousse, you never know it could be your last one. Do things you feel like doing at the moment. Live in the moment! Live as if this could be your last. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">If you missed a<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>day at gym, hit the gym harder the next day .But don’t waste a single day cribbing over what is lost. I have friends, who crib over the color of their skin, apply face creams, go nuts over preserving their complexion. Taking care of your skin is fine, but looking like a live <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">mummy </i>all 365 days is sick. Let your skin breathe someday; let your skin be exposed to sunlight one day! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">We make dietary restrictions, we put us through so many regimes and routines just to live longer , look good and be healthy. It’s a good practice but ensure you don’t take the life out of you! I have friends who never eat out because they think it’s unhealthy. I would say indulge in the simple pleasures of life like an occasional drink, an occasional indulgence in the new chicken Burger that’s recently launched, try street food, have the puchkas or the gol gappas on a rainy day, have the ice golas<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>someday….You never know when you would be in a situation, where in you want to have all these, but sadly you cant !<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Simply live life to the fullest! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></div>
