Time to go

Dear readers, It is time for me to take a break from technology. I have done this earlier too on this blog, here. For few days I am away from blogging. I promise to be back with a bang. Time to refresh and recharge myself. Time to go off the radar like I had gone here before.

Snooping on your ex is very uncool

People have difficulty in moving on post break up. Internet offers anonymity and people often snoop on their ex's to find out what is going on in their lives. They post posts or pictures specially to evoke reaction from their ex. They play games intentionally and post things on social media to appear to be in the lead. This way you harm yourself more than you ever realize. You keep yourself addicted to that person. You cling to your past. It is tempting to do a quick search on a particular person. Adhere to the following rules post break up. 
1. If you have "broken up and made up" many times, you are in a dangerous relationship. It is not going to last. It is not something that is meant to be. Be brave and come out of it, for once and for all. 2. Changing one's personality is not easy. You can give up a certain bad habit but if your ex's claim that they have changed completely, do not believe it. Changing one's personality,...

Saree drapes

Image
This season, what is really inspiring to see on the ramp and off the ramp too, are the different ways, the saree is being draped. Not only is it very stylish but also very contemporary. It no longer remains run of the mill. It is coming up as a very modern ensemble and is draped to give a very chic look. I am certainly going to experiment with these drapes. What do you think?

Dressing ethnic

Image
This is me, having a relaxed weekend. As stated earlier, here,  this season my mood is to dress up in traditional Indian wear, simple, ethnic, elegant, cool and comfortable. It amuses me to see how many people follow this blog regularly. And how many people really let it affect them. It is a blog about me. Me, who is unafraid to be myself, who makes no efforts to conceal her vulnerability, who does not believe in stereotypes, who is absolutely not interested to know anything about people's lives, who is least interfering, who has a mind of her own and believes in minding her own business, who runs away from controversies, who wants to lead her life her way- simple and straight, who follows her heart, her mind and her passions. Write to me and tell me why do you like to follow this blog. What I am wearing is a cotton Kurti, hand embroidered with neat pin tucks, bought from Dastkaar Nature Bazar. I mentioned about my shopping trip here.  I want to go there again. ...

What if.......?

Image
"A competent and self-confident person is incapable of jealousy in anything. Jealousy is invariably a symptom of neurotic insecurity"-  Robert A. Heinlein What is the root cause of Insecurity? Why do people live in fear? Why does this question hover in your mind- What if.....? "It is insecurity that is always chasing you and standing in the way of your dreams"-  Vin Diesel. What if I loose my job?  What if so and so dies? What if I do not have enough money when I retire? What if I am not able to complete my project on its deadline? What if my competitor moves ahead of me? What if the project I am working on is not successful? What if....? We are loosing out on our precious present moment by being bogged down thinking about the future. Thinking about "what if", we make back up plans and more back up plans. We want to lead a fool proof life. And we get frustrated when our plans backfire. To come out of this, "What if", simple mantra is...

Solus

I had written a post here earlier, how it is sexy to venture out alone.  Last Friday I had seen the bollywood movie, Queen. It completely resounded and restated what my blog post said. The protagonist of the movie, Kangna Ranaut, goes out to her honeymoon alone and discovers herself and her own life. She comes back as much more confident person. She faces the challenges but also has a great time all by herself. She makes new friends and a young, timid girl blooms to become assertive and phlegmatic person. Going out together in a group or with a gang of friends might be very cool. It is considered "happening" to be hanging out together, drinking, dancing, etc. But you know what is even cooler? It is to stand alone from the crowd, all by yourself. Sitting in a cafe, with your favorite book. Not really "needing" anyone else. There is absolutely nothing wrong with making friends and being with your peers. But do not let anyone take away that feeling of being "se...

When selecting skirts, try to select the colors and patterns that compliment your body type. Colorful or printed skirts have to be matched more carefully than plain or solid ones.

Below I am wearing a Tango T shirt that I received as part of my Birthday gifts, already mentioned here , here and here. I have worn this floral skirt from express here before. Ha ha. One of the most hilarious pictures of this blog. And another one.
