COFFEE CONFESSIONS!!!

Warning : This post has got nothing to do with Any Coffee Menus!! As the new year sets to begin, I wondered what New Year got to do with resolutions only and not confessions? Every New Year's Eve I spend my day in wondering how I faired this year?Was it even worth recollecting the fights and kisses I made with Friends and Family? Not to forget the unavoidable enemies I made on the way! All the hangovers I had to deal with, the lies I told to please someone, The innumerable frantic calls made to friends at the time of depressions..just to name a few! So every year its the same routine but still as a Optimist we rigorously plan to welcome the New Year with a Bash..after all who knows if we will be alive by the end of next year! I recently read an article in Bangalore Mirror which quoted few people on whether to Party Or Not! Amongst all of them, there was 1 person who gave a Gyan with bulleted points on the reasons for not partying. Everything was fine, except 1 point which said...

Human Trafficking..An insight!

Human Trafficking is defined as   illegal  trade  in human beings for the purposes of commercial  sexual exploitation  or  forced labor : a modern-day form of  slavery .  Is it stoppable? In the current scenario definitely NOT! Human Trafficking...The words create jitters amongst us! It reminds of the Red light areas which we have heard of, else the prostitutes which we would have observed on a road(In places like Bangalore) I always wondered whether the victims of Human Trafficking resisted it till the end or succumbed to the scenarios and accepted their fate. I recently came across the video(link has been shared) which triggered this topic in my mind again! I wouldn't like to comment on this topic globally, but definitely on the local scenario. I have observed the prostitutes who stand near Manipal centre everyday. They are all dressed up and have a pimp at the end of the road negotiating on their behalf. Agreed, that they do this for li...

To Eat or not to Eat?

Food - Definitely an ingredient to boost up the adrenaline rush in your body! The title says it all, but wanted to share my views on it! This post is dedicated to all my friends who had failed attempts in dieting. I recently tried GM Diet which promises to result in shedding 5-6 kilos in a week!!! I truly appreciate the "Idea" behind it, detoxifying the body. But hey, have those people heard about "Dominos, Taco Bell, BBQ Nation"? 1 visit to any of these places and they will never ever diet! At least I cant. I love food, especially if served with Onions and Capsicum. Coming to the topic - Onions, people says it is a natural aphrodisiac . I am hot here to justify it, but instead to claim that there are certain food that does provide and adrenaline rush, need not be sexually but definitely brings you out of the blues! Whenever I am depressed I walk straight to the fridge, grab a chocolate and eat until my taste buds stop responding(Cadbury Shots are my fav for ...

Gone are the days...

Title is inspired by an e-mail sent by a Friend. I spend half of my day being nostalgic, cant help when life has given such memorable moments in the past. Though I have spoke so much about my love in one of the previous post, there are still some instances which fill me with ecstasy, and makes me wonder "How come I never noticed them before?". Work, home and of course add to it, the pet at home keeps me so occupied that in my free time I think, Gone are those days where you had all the time to dress up for a date (Now you end up half a day searching for the dress that hides your flab, rest everything neglected) Gone are those days when you spent 90% of your talk time on calling and messaging your boyfriend(Now you crib to your husband to recharge/pay the bill) Gone are those days when you lied flawlessly to your parents while being caught(Now they don't need your answers) Gone are those days when you could lie down on your grandma's lap and kept your mind blan...

Fair - Well!

Quitting your first Job can be as tedious as it is when you break up with your 1st Boyfriend/Girlfriend! (I don’t have an experience in the latter one though)   My 1st Job began with an expectation to soothe my Hyper Energy on spending my Dad's and Boyfriend's money! The moment my HR asked me, "What’s your expectation", I replied bluntly "Give me 20!". On being questioned, I said I need that Magical figure to go ahead and marry. He laughed! That’s how my journey began as a Mktg Executive. All seemed to be interesting, within a week I had allowed the BIG GUYS IN MGMT to regret on my decision of taking up this Job. I couldn’t figure out if I belonged to the industry of Salon! I loved dressing up but selling the concept of Feeling Great or Good! Then realized its part of the job! Ignore it Girl (I formulated it after 6 months) It was like "Devil wears Prada" scenario, minus the Devil! With a Happy Go Lucky Manager, I thoroughly enjoyed the luxuries...

TV9 - Easy to preach difficult to practice

Just couldn't stop myself from sharing this incident. TV9 which broadcasts the sting operation they conduct on exposing the Politicians, Governments and Con men, well that is the image they project. This incident took place Yesterday where I had a tough time taming the Staff of TV9 at their Langford office, right opp to Hockey Stadium. Till date I always wondered, how does TV9 manages to juice up the news to broadcasts?? The recent incident just added fuel to my outbursts against TV9 and the hype they give to the news! TV9 conveniently park their so called " Press" cabs opposite to their office which is meant for 2 Wheeler parking strictly. They park around 4-5 cabs in a line, without their owners/drivers within the vicinity! I do understand that it is common for all of us to do so once in a while, but there is an etiquette to be followed by addressing the grievance caused to the public by your company! Probably TV9 does not understand the basic social etiquette. I...

Love Actually....

Its been a while since I started all over again on my prem kahani, however I still wish to pen it and publish the same some day. So all you guys who know will know the story below, memories are always cherished better when they are documented. "Ek Ladki thi deewani se, ek ladke pe woh marthi thi", very filmi but every girl dreams of having a love which resembles Yash Chopra movies for sure. I too dreamt, day and night, comparing every guy in the school and judging his qualities against the mushy romantic bollywood heroes. I even had a number of crushes, for a sole reason that either their hairstyle/life style/dressing sense/bike/accent matched one of the heroes. For example, a guy in 7th had Akshay Kumar looks so he was flirt worthy(Not that I flirted with him!!), a guy in High School resembled Vivan Bhatia and another one he wore glasses which Hrithik wore in Kaho naa pyar hai! But above a best friend is someone who you always look out for, So I too had one during my schoo...
