Random thoughts once again ...

Oh well it did not work . The concealing of dark circles. It did not work. I ended up looking like what i did in neha's marriage (a few steps down from that day's ghoulish make up ofcourse!!) But oh! Even MAC could not make me look good .I mean either i was again not made up properly (I am that bad) or MAC is not as good as people say. Ya well ...whatever! Thank God i did not buy anything. Back to natural remedies and exercises. Drinking lots of water and things like that.
I start gym today and i hope i remain fit. It is kind of cool (and uncool at the same time) that i am going to join the gym in office. Cool because i don't have to shell out big bucks from my pocket and uncool because ...office gym???? who goes there?????? People go to those cool, swanky, expensive gyms. I did too when i was not supposed to take away 50k from my bank account unlike this time. But lets see how it goes ... IBM ki gym hai yaar ..local chaap to nahi hogi.
Yesterday, while uselessly surfing the net, i came across a blogger. Rain boy, raindrops something like that ... Good blogger he was. He had written poems and was all sensitive and stuff. And i felt like "when these people see my blogs, do they laugh it off??" because i am never sensitive and sensible. I write about whatever i am feeling at that moment or amalgamation of whatever i felt earlier. Its majorly funny or stupid. not artistic. But would i change my writing style for that? Maybe not .. I will write sensitive and sensible and artistic when i fell all of the above. Till then my blogs would be stupid, silly, funny and kiddish .. just what i am.

The Dark World Of Under Eye Circles

I have had them since i dont know how long. I started getting conscious about them in my first year of college i suppose and as i grew older, my dark circles have been the biggest disgrace on my face in addition to my slanting nose. I spent almost 20-30 k on my kaya treatment on them and got no change. I have searched the net , digged deeper and deeper into the web world to find out one magical solution for the plague on my face. All the web pages begin with how the dark circles are actually formed and it seems whatever i may do, i have almost all reasons for having them on me.
1) Hereditary : seems like i not only took my good english speaking skills from my mom, i also inherited her dark circles and so did my sister. When i asked my mom, she told me that my grand mom had them too and who knows maybe her mom had them too .... so it runs big time in the family. The websites do quote that hereditary dark circles are impossible to remove. So i lost half the battle there.

2) Late nights: Now this, I got from my father. I cannot sleep early. I really cant. Late nights come naturally to me and i cannot even bring myself to try and make an effort to sleep early.

3) Nasal Congestion: Well!! I am known for having a cold everytime in any season of the year. My mom says that when she was preggers with me, she used to have a lot of tomatoes because that was the only thing she felt like eating and she stopped only when ppl warned her that it can affect the health of the baby (Me that is). I suppose the warning came very late and by the time my mom stopped having tomatoes, the damage had already been done. But i don't think that tomatoes are responsible for an overdose of mucus in my body. But doctors tell me that i am allergic to something. i wish i knew what that bloddy thing is so that i can throw it away far far across the worlds! so any kind of allergy becomes a reason for dark cirlces as well and that is my next point.

4) Allergies: As i said i have this too from some unknown thing.

5) Rubbing of eyes: Allergies also cause my rubbing of eyes and hence breaking the capillary tubes underneath the eyes , causing stoppage of blood circulation and things like that. off late i have tried not to give in to the temptation of rubbing my eyes. It is one hell of a difficult task. for a few mins i feel like go to hel, i have to rub rub rub my eyes but then when those painful actually itchy moments pass away, i feel "worth it". But i dont know how long will i be able to do it.

I know i should be very regularly trying some gharelu nuskhas but i am so lazy and so pessimistic that t never give it a try. I try for a few days and then give up because they naturally dont work within a week or so. Hence, I remain the same. However, I do plan to go regular on these tips because they may not make them go away but they may surely fade them. Aloe vera gel did that to me!

I avoided wearing makeup because of two reasons. Firstly i never really thought it was important and i never cared about my looks (earlier) Secondly i thought that i cannot wear make up because my dark circles would make me look all the more ghastly. My sister had suggested using a concealer but i must have been trying a wrong one maybe. Considering i was trying her concealer and since she has a darker skin tone than me, it would never work. I would look silly and even more weird. Yesterday, i searches you tube like crazy on ways to conceal these things and firstly felt good that i am not alone. There was one girl who had dark circles just like mine!!!! but then otherwise she was very beautiful. Anyway, i do have a few tips in my hand now and today, i am going to buy the stuff and try it.
I very very sincerely pray to God that it works because i dont want them anymore!!

From me to you ...

In some of my previous blog, I talked about how music is linked with our daily lives. I was listening to one of the latest songs a few days ago and i was struck by the lyrics. The first thought that came to my mind was ,how sweet would it be if some one would say these things to me. Yes ..yes .. I am still foolishly romantic. (Sigh!!) Then came the list!! And so here is the list of five songs i would want someone to dedicate to me. Yes I am being selfish and sometime later i promise i will think anout what songs i should dedicate to "him" but as of now this is my part of the story.

1) Tumse he Tumse har baat from Anjaana Anjaani.

This song starts with Ranbir realizing that he is in love with Priyanka. I totally loooooved the way he looks at her. But more than the situation of the songs notice the lyrics :
ab se koi khushi nahi
jiski tum wajah nahi
ab se koi din nahi
jiski tum subah nahi
ab se koi baat nahi
jo tumse na hogi shuru
ab se koi raah nahi
jo tum sang mein na mudhoon
abhi ke bhi yeh ho gaya ykeen
yeh zindagi meri ho gayee teri
tumse hi tumse har baat
har baat hai
jab tum ho saath
tumse hi tumse har baat
har baat hai
jab tum ho saath

It talks about how the much he is going to love her and how much she is going to be involved in his life. Sweet. right? and this is the very song i was talking about in the beginning of the blog.

2) Next song I have already posted on this site. "Jab mila tu". Its lyrics talk about how fun it is going to be being together.

Khaali jo raat ho, main khwabon chaand taaron se woh poori bar doon
Teri jo baat ho, main bin kahe hi aadhi pauni poori kar doon
Jo aadhe se hum hain, woh poore ho tumse
Na jaane yeh sauda bhi kab tay huya
Adhoore se kisse, barabar ke hisse
Tu dil to main dua

I especially love the line "Teri jo baat ho, main bin kahe hi aadhi pauni poori kar doon". Thats how deeply we will know each other that.

3) The third song is all the more special because John has sung it on screen. It is from Babul. "Bebasi dard ka alam". This song has now been forgotten by the world but it has beautiful lyrics and moreover beautiful promises.

Bheegi palkon se churaa loonga nami
Rehne doonga na kahin koi kami
Tumko daaman na bheego ne doonga
Ab kabhi tumko na rone doonga
Uljhane gham ki parchhaayi
De do mujhe apni tanhaayi
Gumnaamiyan bhi do, nakaamiyan bhi do
Viraaniyan bhi de do de do naa

The lyrics say it all and i dont need to say anything further other than "God!! Mujhe ye sab bolne wala kab aayega???"

4) Yes i know i am not beautiful. I see that everyday in the mirror. So probably somebody who will dedicate the next song to me would be a fool (or foolishly in love ) and i would not believe it. But somehow i still would want him to say this to me.

Oh her eyes, her eyes
Make the stars look like they're not shining
Her hair, her hair
Falls perfectly without her trying
She's so beautiful
And I tell her every day
Yeah I know, I know
When I compliment her
She wont believe me
And its so, its so
Sad to think she don't see what I see
But every time she asks me do I look okay
I say
When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile,
The whole world stops and stares for awhile
Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

5) The fifth song .. I am not really sure. There were basically these 4 songs in my mind when i started writing this piece. But since I have to make it a top five list maybe "jab koi baat bigad jaye" I have loved this song since i dont remember how long and it talks about the promises a couple make to each other.

Till then as i said earlier ... May there be abundance of love in this world :)

PDA Debate

Okayyyy!! Its is children's day today. But we are not here to talk about them. what are we here to talk about? Actually I have no idea. I was getting dead bored in office and right now i am writing without thinking.

Alright. Here is an incident which i wanted to write about. Nothing to do with me. It was just a normal day when i was cooking stuffed capsicums for my roommates. The onions were extremely strong and a single cut through them brought tears to my eyes. Engrossed while i was in my onions, tears and mucus , i saw car lights stopping in front of my PG. Expecting it to be Vibha, i looked up and saw a couple getting out. Now i should not have seen them but by the time i could process this fact and get my manners straight, there they were hugging and kissing each other ... right in the middle of quite a decently busy road. Now should I have uff-ed and hau-ed about the whole incident? Should i have gone and told (read gossiped) about them with my friends? Honestly, my first reaction was ummmm ........ ok .... actually sweet!
The cumbersome recipe of stuffed capsicums made me forget about the whole incident and somehow i did not really feel the need to gossip about it to anybody. They were strangers whose faces i could not even see and secondly i am no moral science teacher. But had i talked about this to anyone i am sure the first point which would have been raise would be "how cheap! or why don't they do this behind close doors" .
Point taken. But ...i know it looks cheap when you are a third person looking .. but for the couple they are in love. For them probably the world does not exist.
Of course there has to be a decorum. Maybe the couple outside my window could have played it down a notch. Maybe a peck on the cheek or kiss on the forehead would have been sweet. But then i am nobody at all to tell people how should they behave.
Somehow i am not in total disagreement with PDA if as i said it is in standards and decorum.
May there be lots of love in the world .. :)
