Arguement...

had a major melt down with a member from my gen-team. we debate...everyday!!!we work on good projects, some funded and some much coveted for. its just about pure unadulterated research... we do have some lousy swimmers with us (their DNA has already drowned in their family gene pool... now they have no where to go) Many know their genetics but a few can apply them loggically. One of the moron almost got us killed with his case conclusion. He could do the karyotyping but almost forgot his laws of inheritance... brilliance must b running in his family, only in a zig zag pattern-it had skipped his generation...totally. so this gen-team family will soon have a brain drain. some of the pseudos will be kicked off. biotechnology generates fantastic possibilities which scan the heros from villans in the most untraditional manner. Analysis for forensic purposes can make the judgement go round a fair poll. Do the biobanks at times collect some materials for medical purposes like autopsy and then use it for forensic purposes in secret? without the bioethical laws coming in? is the DNA collected in these cases, a 'property' of police that they can freely use for which ever purpose they want. tommorow i can collect a swab from a mere coffee cup in a bin and use it for my research purpose.....but then i ll have to register it in the DNA research registry, right? If tommorrow by some strangest of coincidence a case leads to the same uncared for DNA sample which otherwise would have just left as it is get to get utilised in harmless research? is it just bad luck of the fellow who got caught or too good to b true luck of the police or should the scientist who got the idea to go to a bin to get samples must b applauded? crime is crime. but where are ethics? we ve seen innocent people getting involved in real bad cases due to untamed right to ur own DNA policies. the debate was breathtakingly victorious... many questions still unanswered, some cases yet a mystery... the quest for truth is on. and the way shiney's case was overblown was bull shit by the way.

woken up...

There's something different about this someone. I find passionate ppl intriguing... dont we all want love in life? rather what is life without love? we may sometimes b mislead by theories of turning and manipulating life as we want, but randomly, it bowls u over... gives u something to dwell upon... something expectedly unexpected... u know its gonna happen someday...and one day, it just does... its kind of an initial sweetness in watching ur favorite rom-com... our wishes abt love might go as we wanted to... but the mind? it plays strange games. shows unduplicable uniqueness in the conflicts with urself... undoubtedly the attraction catches on... its not as important to others as it might b to u... so the world around goes on...but ur days start and end differently. we become disillusional about the way we feel about our heart.... in fact its more of the ones u r thinking... u r concious but u prepare urself well aware of ur nervousness about the thing. we are designed to b with our own sparks and faults. it troubles me to find tons of folks around trying to b different than what they are. y? y cant we accept who we are and stop blaming nature and circumstances.... r we meek enough to take the responsibility or are we fearful of taking a step ahead and stand up for what we do without feeling unnatural. we are humans... we have to remember... i am going to embrace myself... and so r some ppl around me...

lets try not to fake ourselves into a life of feeling nothing...we r not gonna b static forever. change is inevitable. we have a right to respond to a call...take the hand which is raised forward... taking things ahead...as naturally as they cud b... no need to push away any love, happiness or knowledge for a life of indifference...its best to feel something than to b numbed.

effects of a sugar overload....

eeeks...its a puky feeling when u get loaded with sugar.... especially when u wanna loose some flab.... so out goes the diet and in comes a circle...the yo-yo effect.. the clothes dont fit u anymore. u r whiling away ur time and feeling bloated and useless 24X7....so what do u do? eat some more.......NOOOO. For heavens sake save ur arse! and make the most of what u have....get on track..... I did! and now i am kickin some arse! love urself...

Well, i ll do anything to have a change in and around me. the routine though relaxing is kinda getting on my nerves. i wanna get something drastically done. a new course, a new love interest, a secret lover maybe....a crush, a new obsession, moving out of the house, getting some weird ideas.......er...grrrr..NOTHING is happening. i am sick of tweets, i am sick of orkut and facebook. i can throw up if i hear another click of the mouse. i wanna set free. i want ready free lunches , i want challenges. i wanna run nude on a beach. i wanna get a butt job done!!!!!!!!!!!!i want to be single and not mingle. i want to glamourise and be on the top of this world. i wanna write i wanna take a break. y doesnt the world just dissappear and let me B!!!!!! i hate these pressures. i hate the unpaid caregiving work that i do. i want value. i want to get sold out..... i wanna b house full!!!!!!!!!! i wanna freak out and i want a CHANGE........AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH.......

welcome march 2009

I welcomed march with the recent venus - moon cojunction..... a rare phenomenon that cud b seen with d naked eye.... it was very beautiful.... after a while the venus almost kissed the crest of moon making it look like a couple in love... watched a few more movies over the weekend....got a chance to read the editorials at leisure.... there was one blessing in disguise.... the domestic help left for a more lucrative job elsewhere. so i am left with the whole house under my order.... i am my house help...hehe! its fun cleaning and setting things up... wonder how long the fun element lasts...especially in the unbearable mumbai summers... but nw i can almost roam around and stay up late anywhere without the obligation of returning back for the servants... so its a new found freedom and a fab one at that! went 2 mom's last night and had a long long chat after almost an age.,. granny was happy seeing me.... bro was his mischievious self... had the heavenly famous dal rice for dinner! the most satiating meal ever... and returned back with a smile on my face. a close frnd of mine called up yest.and chatted 4 abt an hour... how exciting the conversation was.... he was a theatre frnd and so all the reports....critical acclaims were ripped apart...fun!
had a hearty chat with moi love today... and am happy 2 ve grown closer 2 him. on the way 2 success!!!!!! yippie..

thanks-giving in february!

yesterday evening was one helluva challenging one....the changing season and temperature rise took a toll on me...head gave its way to the throb and i was under the asprin influence to beat the pain.... neither reading nor television helped me to distract...and since it was a day off from the institute, i had nothing better to do than catch moi head and sulk.... so i decided to log on the net and wrote off testimonials to most of the ppl who matter to me the most! in my little way, i wanted to thank them for being there. not that they wanted the thanks....we rnt that formal...but somethings are best said than understood and telling ur loved ones how much they matter 2 u is the most wonderful feeling... not all of them r on orkut and hence the limit stays but thats most wot v can do...scream out 2 the world that u r so happy 2 b with them!!! After writing some testimonials my pain vanished!!! thats the power of thanks giving...The ppl on the list 2 whom i am presently writing testimonials....lets c how things turnout....its truely a great feeling to have had the company of these angels in my life...

success...

today was a fantabulous day....the results were declared and my 100% my students secured a 1st class.......i was truely elated and overjoyed and so were my little dancing angels and their parents....i was glad dat my mom (who is also my student)fared exceptionally well! ahh......its a sigh of relief..... a moment of worth celebrating abd cherishing!!!!! there was a major exchange of delicious sweets in the class......(ohh god, y do i have a sweet tooth!!! god....i love sweets!!!!!) its so very tempting.... especially when tiny li'l hands feed u with love. :D its so easy 2 say yes to the small lit-up faces...resplendent with sheer happiness and radiant with a sense of achievement at such a young age..... some tots are just 5 yrs old....almost out of their cribs learning how to dance even b4 they can say words......ofcourse dancing is the most natural way of expression!! wanna know how we celebrated???? ofcourse, with some more dancing!!!!!!!! with a promise to keep up the same spirit year after year!!!!! lord, i love these kids!! cant wait to have some of my own....amen. :D

calming chaos...strangely familiar!!!

God knows y am i blushing now a days?? getting goosebumps without a reason.... smiling incessantly....... thinking of someone...... losing myself in thoughts..... feeling all beautiful and in love..... dressing up pretty..... looking at the mirror more than once...... experiencing a calm warm yet uplifting feeling.......... finding more time to write....... getting out of breath with some thoughts... a strange feeling of content and happiness.... confidence of happiness and hope... ppl complimenting me all of a sudden....... things turning out to be absolutely perfect! enjoying every moment of it...... i guess, i am in love!!! my love is reading all of this and i cant help but blush some more....

a kool tip for a haute night!

After a long long time of abstaining myself from having that orgasmic dose of coco.....i finally gave up today...... had a small bar of pure blissful Ecstasy.... for a completely insane chocohol like moi....eating a bar is similar to having awesome sex after a loooong gap... the taste just gushes thru ur taste buds into ur blood stream....just like the oxytocin generated after u make love... i cannot explain how glad i was to have chocolate today(and chocolate it was.......nothing else-u pervert!) i am craving for more....nopes.....it has satiated me....it has calmed me down.....i dont wanna do anything for a while till the flavours seep in....the fragrance still sinks in my throat like a whiff of blissful wave..... makes me blush and go ohh ahh till the last bit melts off my mouth...... my senses unaware of the flushed look on my face and the choco-brown blob slathering smoothly thru my gut..... this is wild.... this is it!!!!! its the real thing!!!!!!! who needs love then??? the difference? yeah jumping over ur guy wud burn off a few cals but having a bar might not shave them off ur waist...... so i better get back to reality........ does that mean that i look out for a potential mate??? (for u know what???) naah..... its best to have a bar of chocolate by ur bedside...... for the time when temptation creeps in and u wanna get it done! isnt it a kool idea....... lol....

methinks...

He loved me as best he could and showed his love in the only way he knew how...... I guess I must be growing up.......I can now look back on my relationship and see it as an experience........... which I now count as a valuable and worthwhile part of my life... I've always found a kernel of wisdom in everything he's ever told me.... If there is one man in the world who really and truly went out of his way to make sure I understood what love should be, that man would be my sweetheart..........

Some things tug at me more than others.... How does that make me feel? I thought I would'nt be happy, but I am not..... I knew exactly when it all went not so right.Suddenly, this love thing is not too bad at all....... The road ahead looks chock full of adventures that I actually wanna discover. Im smiling again, the real smile......... that makes my entire face come alive, the one that comes directly from me.......... The one that makes the whole world smile with me.And guess what????? I am so incredibly proud of my sweetheart for continuing to love me...we are going to be okay!!!!!

and who is my sweetheart? now that's a milliondollar question!!! :D

my dream...

Hi....slumdog makes india proud yet again....with the secret behind its success lies in the fact that after he beauty industry the entertainment world fetches another potential hub of creativity in recession times that is our own INDIYEAH.... we'd not b surprised if we d have entertainment tourism like medical tourism developing as a new branch in the coming years encompassing the creative geniuses of hindustan...

on a personal note A.R. Rahman takes it all....is another potential contender for the most covetted men and is my latest crush list... ahhwww....he is so cute.... well guys, atleast i dont pretend.... i am forthright about whatever i feel about anyone and type it on right away....like i dreamed about my childhood sweetheart back fromschool days last night. he was in my class at adarsh. i dreamt of going on a date with him.... he held my hand and damn it felt sooooo good!!!! off how i sometimes wish i had a different destiny of being with him all my life.... but fate had something else in store.... somewhere down my heart i deeply know that he was and always be my 1st love..... we no longer talk but i still have this thing for him in my heart which still kindles the fire within..... i do not wear masks nor do i deny the thoughts that come naturally to me..... so....one soul....one energy.....different thoughts....same mind....different ppl....diff. emotions........yet one heart........just one ultimate love!!!!!!

UPDATE...

Updates-the back pain has considerably reduced...the blushing has increased.... survived on pure fresh veggies and fruits today as told by the doc... feels great to have actually eaten nothing but good food... shows on ur mood, ur thinking and also the way u look!!! i cud tell that coz i got some gr8 compliments today! and some flowers too!!! but listen, i had dinner outside post work as a social obligation.... sometimes u cant just say NO. but today i did.... had some soup, juice, tandoor kebab, salad and juice....which is kinda healthy at the restaurant.. dad thought i was crazy to have abandoned relishing the dinner but thankfully mum was supportive. wanted to write a lot, but sleep takes a toll on ..... have morning walk to attend to tom. so sining off here is..........the queen of blushing dreams.....relishing the cream of emotions.....KAJU...

surprise!!!

3 is my lucky no. and 3 is a part of his existence....i mean personality....i mean....err....name....maybe!!!! yeah someone pinged me on ma cell today quite unexpectedly....and that too with a maha stupid PJ...it wasnt even a pj.......a farse....i sent a frustrated smiley and a grrrr in reply........thats it..... the point is.......that its just yesterday and again 2 days back and 1 day before that i had incessantly dreamt of that person and i ve kept on dreaming abt the person for a long long time.....its an effortless....non wishing for...completely involuntary dreaming......... funnily i alos dreamt of the persons mom and house the day before yesterday.... quirky though....we share similar likes....we love our chips on rice...and we love sweets and we loooove potatoes....erik.....oink.....talk abt food tastes .....our wavelenghts also get coordinated at times.........like when ever i ve thought 'consciously' abt that person.......i ve got the persons glimpse....this is way beyond my belief.... i dunno wot is destiny upto.....i am neither expecting less....nor more....nor anything.......i better let this be.....but dunno y........somewhere down the heart... something is clicking..... infact the person uses similar words and terms in writing and fits into the description of my dream man to the hilt......keeping the fingers crossed!!! I hope he reads this blog and pings me yet again with a more daring confession.... here i am....signing off....like this dreamy eyed teenager.....blushing in crimson hues....yet again....praying that he'll land back....in my dreams...

R2=routine and reckless rutt...???.....errrr......Rest and relaxation...

Yesterday - After a macho workout at the gym, i had a quick shower b4 setting on for my evening classes grabbing a salad wrap bite on my way....the class happened...and then it all started....The spine started hurting badly.....the rib cage thomped.... i was in pain.......admitted at the nearest hospital for a quick scan with the radilogical machines stating that everything was fine except that i had over exerted myself causing the system clock crash..... i ve been advised rest and relaxation for a few days.... haaa??? when was i that busy??? anyways, u r right Mr. Doc. i ll listen to u........ so here i am.....bunking my gym today and soaking in some bath salts steam in the comfort of my home..... some deep breathing exercises and pranayama would do good!!! i cooked...yeah not listining to my doc.....but then it was the need of an hour...now off to some beauty sleep....a pot full of half bloomed jasmines waiting besides the bed to take me to a dream sleep trip......

candle light dinner...

Yesterday evening was special....the valentine mood lingers on as we had a nice candle light dinner at home... me dressed to the hilt ;D The candles set below the aroma infusion pots with essential oils fragrant with soothing scents.... the menu, simple.... cooked by me.... it was a long day for the both of us but i managed to somehow gussle up a yummy meal.... mint yogurt cherry tomato salad with parsley, stir fried veggies in coconut gravy with warm pita pockets... a perfect way to end the evening and crawl into the night with mushed up goodies to feast on....

New day...

Utmost faith in someone and belief in the almighty has let to astonishing miracles. as far as my life goes , it has taken a U turn. from drab to fab....things get glossy and enchanting. its almost like a dream. when ever time was something less than right, i prayed...genuinely...and prayers always get answered....

i have been brought up in almost an atheist enviornment but have been given the freedom to have and express my views.... my parents wudnt even mind if i engaged into any rituals or idol worship. i dint have strong views about god untill sometime last year.... spirituality, mysticism attracted me.... i wont lie, it seemed glamourous initially but as i merged into reading stuff.... and hearing experiences of ppl around.... i got involved... it seemed like a never ending quest....

fortunately I met the right people at the right time and enjoyed the benefits of being in enlightened company.... i can say that i now have got my spiritual guru.... the person seems to b a normal human but is far more than just a person.... i trust my guru and i follow the path shown and i know i ll be able to spread happiness around and make a difference.....

plus i have been lucky to have got a mentor at he same time....my mentor trusts me....... my mentor pushes me thru my threshold limits....... at the same time sees to it that i catch a breath when i am going too fast...... life cant be better!!!! its a pleasure to b with u ppl....

thawing in process......

had an amazing valentines day this year. and more of so the day post valentine was also superb.... there was more than just romance, it was care sweet smiles n all....well, slept at a pro time on sunday but woke up with a not so good head on monday... the day is chilly , i am wrapped in some1ns sweater (since mine is to fashionable to keep me warm) and yeah a stole wrapped over my head covering my ears......... Vicks vapourub all over my forehead and nose..... all husszzzzing up in the chill. windows closed tight, curtains drewn on... i am all set for a euro-mumbai winter.

its mid feb and no signs of warmth. glad that my garden is obeying the orders of nature and is in full bloom.... almost 50 jasmines per day and about 30-40 mariglods and about 10 roses every single day.... makes my day as far as colors are concerned, quiet a dash to kick off the drab of the winter blues.... may be i ll stew up a herbed conoction to cure the head and burn some eucalyptus lamps around to create a healing aroma..... so much for a chilling soul.... i need to thaw myself without feeling all puffed up in these layers of sweaters..... hunger doesnt make its presence felt since its more essential to keep the fluid intake on..... i am off for some hot mugs full of water to make me melt............ god..... praying for a quick spring!!!!

podcraze personified...

celebrities.... popularity.... fashion.... glamour.... limelight et al... well fuh-ghet that. Good news recent experimentation with two new designs on the showcase were a hit. The combo Silk pink with multicolored redtoned stripes and cotton dull flores-candy green with yellow toned mixed texture.... Crystals for an addded effect... well, ppl actually asked me to design more combos like this for them but to withdraw and retire at the top position is a must. so conquering all the temptations i denied their request.....Well that means i have to come up with a new line, new ideas and pattterns to enthrall... ppl have money to spend on good life!!! recession hasnt hit the fashion industry yet..... well, since i do redo the lines i am spared of saturation and block.... kudos to the new season.... its full of colors and textures....

i am all crazy over the new releases this year. .... my i-pod is perpetually on for almost all the time.... i am careful abt the volume though. i ve been reading a lot abt pod users and the aftereffects of loud listening. shankar mahadevan....sukhvinder singh and shreaya ghosal are my latest icons in music. bollywood rocks and so does A.R.Rahman....muaaah!

I will fight this..... I will kick some ass.... I will emerge stronger....

Yesterday was a super challenging day on the personal front. Infact more of a disillusioned sequence. The 1st half was unbelieveably good. Almost what a typical girl could ask for... Movie lunch movie chilling out in the early evening.....But as the sun retired and drew off the shore started the Dark Play of destiny. Well by this time i am a firm believer of one... I havent yet had a spiritual guru yet, but i guess i shud have one soon. With the pattern in which life is surprising me in not a great way... I dunno wthr to call them surprises or something else. At a time, I called myself a serious practitioner of THE SECRET.... i still am, but not a serious one. Its seeping out of my system in a way no one could even understand..... But i guess i shud hold on.... I shud not let go...I shud wait for a while more. Someone very close to me has told me to do so....To wait.... to bear it for some more time.

To understand that what lies ahead is beautiful and all this is gonna b stressful only for a while.... So many times i wanna scream out that i m tired and i am done.... i cant take it any more but NO....I am gonna do it yet again..... in all the quests (not fights) whtr academic spiritual or otherwise one shud achieve nothing less than WINNING. and sometimes letting others win has the real victory enclosed for us.... So wot this day aint great. So wot its a game of fate. So wot...??? Its us. I am a Human,and i understand human emotions....Its brain game aint that simple and so if its destined to trottle and tumble, it will, but it will again rise to its glory....

Telling some one not to behave in a way they are coz it hurts isnt the solution.... They are supposed to behave in that way at that time. Its written. Neither can u change it nor can I. What we can change ogether is the Time of patience.... time of faith... time of self control. Self talk listening to ones heart and questioning our minds often gives us amazing answers leading to siritual strength.... Call it temporary sinthood and sit quietly where u are..... the music of happiness wud only b heard then....

cheers to destiny,

Prajakta.

Val-en-tine...

As feb the 14th nears....i ponder upon various valentine days in my life. some predictable , others full of surprises....yet others tragic(disastorously heartbreaking) and some extremely breathtaking....hehe!!! anxiously anticipated some and consciously deterred and avoided days... this year, its different again.... not like everyyear... infact not even like any of the years gone by..... its gonna make or break a thread.... a thread held on tightly for last 4 years... i cant even expect anything good or not from it.... its a tensed trembling feeling waiting to be done off.... or a shedding coat. no one's desperate here not is one avoiding it.... its just not HAPPENING!!! the person to whom i m referring to wud know better. And i understand dat there have been more of personal of late and more on the other side of optimism....but then thats how it is!!! glad dat aaji came for a short stay over ma place and we cud spend some qual. time over the weekend... hope this bond gives her as much happiness as it ever has and will always be.... god bless!!!! its just another week away.... the DAY....

kitkat break bantn hai!!!

Ahem....with the chaotically slow pace in which life goes...undethered....unalterated but absolutely superadulterated, i am so fatigued to the hilt that i need a break at a place dat i dreamt of last night... it was a dream in purple....it was a lavender tinted picture of a palace and a beautiful long pool in the front yard...i was running towards it and absolutely thrilled to enter the other side of the world.... it seemed mystic and alluring to me....

by the time i woke up, i felt so much in need of a break. i feel like fleeing off this hotch potch and flocking on with mt thoughts to the foothills of the Sivaliks or the Sahyadris....maybe alps or the amazon forests....somewhere....anywhere but this city.....hate hate hate being here in mumbai at the moment....it seems so dull grumpy and cold here....awaiting some romantic mushy warmth in my life.... hopefully someone wud answer ma prayers now!!! hell ya... i am all game for being hooked-booked and cooked by a MAN.... ;D dats wot abu-sandy call it in their glossy 1st ladies fast track questionaire.... hehe!!!

purple passion...

There was a time when I hated the color Purple and any shades of it.... But suddenly out of the blue i ve developed a liking for it!!! its actually immerged thru its hideous dull cocoons and transformed itself into a butterfly to mesemerise me with its pretty hues.... lilac, violet, wine......u name it and i love it!!!! blame it on age or refurnished fashion sense, the fashioniestas have voted for this one as the color of the season....its cool yet warm .....philosophically mild yet peaceful and mushy........mmmmmmm i am feeling violet all over again..... soak in the lavender dreams of sensual bliss......atain NIRVANA!!!

aroma in the house...

whenever the neighbours cook greasy curries endering a curried oily aroma of garlic and onions in the air i take up my own li'll tools to clear off the pungency. i love my home to remaing crisply fragrant and fresh 24X7....well, here's what i do.... i dont light up any aroma candles or incense nor do i spray any room freshner..... i squeeze fresh lemons in a spray container and spray it on the curtains and in air like a room freshner........it actually works and the citrus fragrance clears up all ur personal blues if any.......another hint is to tell ur house help to squeeze two full lemons in the floor cleaning water instead of the usual floor cleaner..... try this for a change and ur home will smell like a million bucks!!!!!! no more neighbourhood tantrums henceforth.... lime-n-lemony treat!!!!!!!!!!!! chilling with a tall glass of lemonade in hand and another bowl of paneer tikka masala (given by my neighbour ;) hehe...)in another!!!

of late...off late...

Over the last few months life has taken a U turn and has changed the way i look at things..... its a completely new perspective. with the number of ppl i com e across on a day to day basis, i look at it in a third person form. not that i am not involved in the whole thing but its more of a neutral attitude. I ve been more tolerent, least expecting and more brooding types of late which is very unlikely me and more often i do not react to any given situation in a way i used to.... call it maturity....nay....its not.....but i think a trillion times before i utter a word. its not even a self conscious phase. its just utterly uncomfortable outside but extremely peaceful inside feeling... things are turning out to b almost better than perfect and to every given stance the I in me is melting away.... can feel it go.... its not easy to let go but then its a feeling of unbelonging to self that turns its face on to u... connecting to spirituality even thru routine mundane things seems an impossible task but mind u its a game.... it gets upto u before u cud even think that its happening... Just that the time runs so fast!!! can even sense the weeks gushing off the year and feb coming right thru 2009..........well, the sadhus in us will let us be I hope!!! amen....cheers to nonimpulsive submission of melted egos.......!!!

Nail it!!! stupid girly stuff.......completely idiotic!

I ve had a recurrent dream of having wonderful long beautiful nails, I ve been sulking since years for having short stubby and square nails which refuse to grow and bend or break if unattended..... So i decided to give it all up and ignore the fact that the nails ever existed..... and one fine day while holding himanshu's arm....he screamed.....UR NAILS!!!! they are hurting me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! mind them praj.... and i looked at them and i screatched!!!!!! wow...... i had these wonderful well grown nails......wonder where they came from???? not that i got them stuck on by glue or something. (i am not much into the cheap arty types) ofcourse they werent all that shapely but then i cud ofcourse shape them!!!! wow..... i rushed to my house for quick filing and a slappping of cream and there they were in all their glory........ even i cud have them!!! hurreey!!!!!! hope this is still a reality when i type with fll speed on the laptop.... the nails stubbornely resist to cooperate.... lol....who cares...... kudos to nature and hell on anything for vanity!!!!!!! here's to everyone celebrating outer beauty!! ;D hehe!!!

Phiiiizzzzssss......

Himanshu pampered me silly by getting for me a perfume with a touch of class.... I am all for the classy versions of royalty fragrances.... I have owned the irresistable Elizabeth Arden 5th avenue gifted to me by kaustubh and have loved it ever so much for its matured notes.... but this recent pampering numbed me to the hilt.... Its called Elizabeth Taylor White Diamonds. Its been a best seller for 10 years, having won almost all the op awards in the fragrance world.... top Notes: neroli, lily and tuberose. The middle notes are: orris, narcisse and amber and the base of the fragrance is: sandalwood, patchouli and oak moss. Just what the unpredictable women would love....I wear it and it makes me feel like a royalty myself. can u imagine what a perfume can do to ur image.... yeah it can make or break it.... just enough to tickle ur senses but not overpowering ur true identity........White Diamonds is surely a WINNER!!! Thanks hims.

mushy-Mushes....

I used to detest the thought of even holding the mucky muddy not so clean looking (creatures???) ;the mushrooms in my hand for quite a few years... but recently these fungi have caught my fancy and i have been excessively experimenting with them time and again. from soups to stuffings to italian pastas and chinese stir fries....to warm salads....i put them in everything i find. its actually easy to turn this bland but potentially versatile stuff to turn into something absolutely amazing!!! i ll try on some barbeque kebabs soon....or a probable shasklik or kathi roll version of the mince.... kudos to this low cal mush..... i m off to my kitchen!!!

pizzzaaazzz and panache!!!

gulp gulp gulp gulp.....another pint full of fresh lime soda (homemade) goes into our tummies as we gorge on the etherial home made whole wheat pizza made by the highness MOI.. and how did i make it? ahhh dats a top secret....well naaahh.... right from the yeast and flour to the right mixing strategy to the rising and kneading of the dough, I started out with not much confidence in my endeavour to deliver another del-hit... but yeah with luck on moi side. the dough rose and so did the anticipation... the toppings cooperated and were just rightly cooked al-dente. the spices were subtle yet enough to cheer up the indian palette.... the microwave oven was given a toss and the humble old tava was trusted and the moment of glory arrived!!!! the cheese melted...turned golden brown.... the aroma of freshly baked crust filled up my house and tavas and tavas full of pizza were drawn from the kitchen to the living area.... mouths dripping with cheesy morsels.... hail prajakta screamed my friends.......hehe !!!!!! i am the culinary queen.......... toppings? well, baby corn, sweet corn, bell pepers, capsicum, cottage cheese (marinated) shallots, garlic , tomatoes, spring onions...cilantro, herbs....u name it and i had it all........ tobasco capsico ketchup and salsas came to rescue of those who wanted to b more experimental..... yet again the chickoo-choco delight made a grand entree as a desert and fresh plans of having another desert pizza party were made........ ofcourse with me playing the part of the chef...... fresh cream....mascarpone.....del-fruits.....pulps, jams and icecreams.......sweet berry and choco sauces and vanilla pods were grocered in and i plan yet another eatavanza even before the dishes go into the washer.... hehe!!!!!! cheers to the apettite!

U CAN DEFINITELY PUT IN A FEW BUCKS for buying a good deo, a nice perfume, a decent mouthwash( a tooth paste and a tooth brush wud also suffice....brush before u hit the gym and just dont drag urself straight out of bed into the treadmill), a mouth freshner (Orbit, Happy Dent, Spearmint....etc.), an armpad (if u sweat profusely)... i bathe....brush ma teeth and use antiperspirants and deos in abundance b4 hitting the gym. i pop a mint gum and carry a body splash with me in my gym bag. i make sure my presence makes ppl around me feel better. its a definite turn on guys if someone enters like a whiff of fresh fragrant air in the gym.....crisp from bath.... sexy....
3. wear COTTON for heavens sake stay away from the LYCRA which doesnt let ur body breathe. and use a freshly washed set of towel and clothes and socks set EVERYTIME..... we dont like to punish ppl with smelly feet, do we??? we cud use a talcum powder in our shoes and a foot freshner spray for convinience. hair ties up....neatly secured in a band for everyone or keep it short. u dont wanna injure everyone around u with ur stray strands....eeks.... and yeah shampoo ur hair everytime u finish ur workout along with a nice shower.....
4. wipe off ur sweat from the equipment after use. u dont want ppl to smear in ur sweat after ur workout.... and phhhhlllllleaaassssss dont forget ur sweaty towel on the equipment everytime u fin ish a set. its not even worth touching by anyone except u.... gosh.....
5. place the weights and the dumbells neatly in their respective racks after u finish..... and for gods sake dont drop them on the ground after u finish ur set...... it might b injurious to u and others around if a weight accidently falls over them....and u dont wanna trip over the scattered weights on the floor, do u??? others arent paid to serve u by clearing the floor for their workout after u r done with urs..... wake up u mumbo jumbo....
6. hey, u can get off from the equipment if u r resting in between ur sets and let others finish theirs in the interval.... u arent a royal to have the whole equipment to ur service... get off u dumb ass and clear the place....
7. gym is not a place to Chat, Read the newspaper, Eat, Oggle or Hang around...as if u have nothing better to do in life. Get a life u looser, Get Out once u r done or u ll b asked to Leave....
8. Dress decently guys and gals even if u are in shape or not.... showing off ur package in boxers is not hot boys and so not hot is having ur bra straps peeping off ur halter or tank top while working out..... keep ur kinky nothings for other ocassions (we dread the overweight love handles and stomach tyres oozing off the low waist tracks and sleeveless gunjis)... dont dress in pyjamas either....keep them to ur bedside...
9. do not give unnecessary adive to others regarding their workout form or the equipment usage. help only if asked for... and stay away from intruding in others workout or worst pointing out their mistakes.....yet dont stay away if there is an accident.... pls help...
10. Do not hog the time on the cardio machines in busy hours, get off the machine after the allotted time...and make way for others...and get the cardio machine in the normal zero incline after u r done. clear ur bottles, towel or food wrappersw off the machine. and take care of ur mobile if u have one, the instructers are not paid to hold them for u. use the locker if necessary. dont talk on the cell phone when working out.
11. Do not slam the weights while working out. its highly irritating.
12. do not come inbetween a person and a mirror if he or she is doing a set. wait for 2 mins. its ok....
13. the gym shower isnt ur private den.....ppl dont wanmt to c u go in to ur interiors cleaning up the unobtrusive parts and combing ur hair naked in the common bath.... go home and do whatever....
14. if u have more hair on ur body then scalp, shave, wax or cover up.... we hate hairy teddies brushing against us....phew....
15. Respect ur gym instructor and dont feel intimidated if he gets bossy...bring it up to the notice at the management counter, and dont feel shy to ask for help again...if u dont get a form correctly.
16. if u find an irrate person forgoing the gym ethics, make a mental note and bring it to the notice of the manager. Dont FIGHT there....
17. Lastly after u finish..... GO HOME....

needs, wants, longings, cravings, urges.....ha! is it really so complicated???

hmmmm........most of us wud agree to ve had a longing of some kind of the other.... for a friend , a soulmate or a companion......well, i ve also had my share of needs....turning into urges.... becoming necessities...... well, good company is what I WANT!!!! i guess the picture proves it! i long for the night long chats, the crazy spontainity, the rosy romance the cosy evenings the crisp mornings...of togetherness... ahh......its a bit of nostalgia and a lot of dreams...... if i still follow the secret! i shud say rather think all of the above in present tense.... okok...... as of now, lemme put on my pink coloured glasses....and have a rose tinted view......i ll let my imagination run wild and u guys just shut up and go 2 sleep!!! muaaah......
