BeCaUse SuNsHinE MakES Me bEauTIfuL....

Why do we associate all things lively and interesting with sunshine??
Talk to any Dad gushing to his daughter and he will quick to add.."Here goes my sunshine girl.." Talk to any boyfriend head over heels in love with his girl he will remind you that she is his "sunshine" girl..I figured it is because we look forward to a new day as sun rises and shines and lights up our day...Its the nature alarm telling us to leave our failures of past just there and move for a new beginning..

Cut to reality..Come summers , we all like to hide ourselves and our priceless white glowing skin behind closed doors to prevent in from sun burnt and tanning..We curse the sun and pray for rain.Even the schools and college close for good two months..On a typical summer afternoon if u ever decide to go down the road( God forbid u shud do so), all U get to see is t.he lonely road, the sound of whirring coolers in homes and a looming silence with not a soul in sight..Well except S

S is my child hood buddY ...we have shared our secrets and stories of success and failures, hopes, anxeity and aspirations..She always know how to cheer me up when I m feeling down or doubting my talent or self worth..She has always been there whenever i needed her and the most jovial person I have known all my life..She is a kind of person everyone wanted to be friends with but it take great pride in the fact that she is my sunshine  my "S"

A few days later this sunshine jokes of ours turned quite literal for us as I developed skin problems which worsened as I stepped out in the sun..And imagine that for a girl living in a place where the summer temperature hovers around 43 and threatenigly close to 48 degrees , I have tried various sunscreens lotions off the rack but nothing worked for me..My skin was too sensitive for them..It would break out even before I stepped out of home in Sun..

 S and I had a huge fight..Apparently she had planned an outing with a bunch of our friends for 5 days in Sweltering heat of May- June..I being myself was so horrified with this idea of hers as if she was suggesting to go to graveyard at 12 in midnight..! She tried convincing me but I was in a no mood to listen..We both huffed and puffed and S left sensing that I was too worked up about my "skin" and all that..

A few days after  , I recieved an anonymous courier..As soon as I open it I laughed heartily,..This was my "make-up" gift  from S who apparently had taken up my malady too seriously..

I was almost determined not to go on for an experiment session again when my eyes fell on other thing in that courier packet. S knowing me well had written a letter..

Dear C,
            I know u are feeling very distressed these days because of ur skin issues, what with it turning dark and sun burnt patches..But let me tell u U are still same sweet C for me who is my best buddy..Nothing absolutely nothing, not even SUN with all its mighty powers can change my feelings and love for u..But C ,I tried to tell u something the other day too, but U just wouldnt listen and that when I realized the SUN  was not only playing havoc with ur skin but ur character too..

In all these years I have never seen you so worked up or talking so rudely to me..Not only has ur appearance changed but  your beautiful inside too. My charming , gentle C has turned rude , aggressive  C who is only safeguarding her skin while our friendship is withering away in ur hostility..


Tears went rolling down my cheeks.I couldnt read it any further..The letter lay crumpled in my hands..I had not realized how much I had hurt S, who had been there for me always. And I decided enough is enough, how long could I be sitting inside the house, fearing my demons?? I had to go out and face them..
Next day, doused with a liberal portion of Lakme Sun Expert with SPF(sun protection Expert), I went to S's  house to surprise her..We both hugged each other and decided to go out ..S and I stepped out oblivious of the harsh sun..We were reveling in the joys of our once again blooming friendship..A few hours later as we entered the house laughing and joking, I began to panic..I was so happy that I havnt checked on my skin not even once(:P) What if I had broke out again..What If ? What if?

And with the thousand questions on my mind..I dashed off to the washroom to check my appearance..As I looked at my face incredulously S walked up from behind and gave me a smile..Eureka..! It had worked out..And slowly my damaged skin returning to its glorious old self..

My sunshine girl literaly brought sunshine back in my life..I can never thank her enough for not only making my skin  better and empowering me to step out at any time of the day but also making me a better human being..I might not be able to get a "Lakme  Sun Expert" for all the obstacles that I face in my life, yet I will always have the comfort of knowing that S will always be my side without ever judging me..love u my sunshine girl..:):)

For all those who stayed away or staying away from their MOM...

According to a survey made the bag packs of most of the Indians enrolled in foriegn Universities are stuffed with maggie noodles and mangoes..Ready to pay excess baggagge fees for them, students are willing to leave books and clothes behind..Other favourite includes Pickles, jaggery, bhujias and ghee..One creative soul insisted on carrying traditional broom..! Rightly so , what a broom can a vaccum cleaner cannot..Thus I conclude " Old habbits die hard"..


If u have ever lived a part of your life in hostel, then rewind back of those golden days..When I went to hostel my mother insisted on umpteen boxes of  saccharine savories..On the days when the mess food was despicable which usually was a norm especially on wednesdays and fridays( ewww...a feel of  retchness).:P, those were the delicacies that come to our rescue..

Always on my day of departure the house was engulfed in mist of emotions..Asthe packing starts , the mist thickens..!! Daddy in his somber mood find solace sitting infront of telivision ..The mother finds refuge in her kitchen..Dishing Delicacies for my mother is measure of her emotional connection..If truth be told, kitchen is not my place..:P  I was incharge of packing all the food items and making space in my bags..

For young girls and boys novels, magazines, hard drives, laptops are like oxygen cylinders..Naturally space for all the food stuff is limited...But " MAA KI MAMTA" knows no limitation..Does it..??Both parties sticked to the stated poisitions and tension escalates..Suddenly the firm voice of dad breaks the impasse.."Take all that ur mother has packed..Throw it if you can't finish.."

Poor me shoves all the ghee dunked delectables made by the ladies of the house at the cost of my own favourite clothes and novels..:/ :/

Three days later I call my mom
me :" mom...hungry"

mom : "No food in the mess..??"
me :  "yuck thas was horrible, " i can starve rather than that despicable food..
 mom :  "Finish all that I packed..???"

me: "yes"
mom  : "dry fruits..??"
me  :"yes"
mom: "In just 2 days..??" did u threw away the stuff I packed??
me: :friends finish everything

After the call, like any other mother she found her dinner insipid, only to be informed the next day that we raided the canteen for our aalo filled paranthas..

So dear mothers if ur child is ready to go abroad, where the chances of hogging aalo paranthas at midnight are puny, be ready to packet that make sense..;)

Happy Birthday to my Girl Friend...!!!

So today my girl friend completed one less than the quarter of the century..Yes yes!! it generates too many
**emotions**   within me..

"AGE is just a count of number , unless u happen to be a bottle of wine.." so rightly said..

DH today as you add one more year to your life,i pray to the almighty to color your life with love and spread the smile..color your dreams and spread the wings so that u can fly high..I will always miss our long chats, phone calls , how u wake me up in morning and after texting u I sleep back again, walking around the MGF, Sahara mall, *Cg* notes , Aahun aahun , WC, bts, msc and hell lot of things to mention here..and please you dare not to mock at my bad drawing this time..:P

On this D day i dont want to make you nostalgic dearo with all the weirdest, funniest, adventurous stuff we had before bcoz its the time to forget all worries , pains,heart aches and welcome your special day with new hopes, aspirations, success and above all loads of happiness....I know you waited for 12 months for this special day, to be pampered like princess from Aunty  and Uncle..No matter whether you start working,settled into matrimony or fumbling bumbling as a wife and then mother, yet the day will never lost it importance bcoz u will always be the "angel" for ur beloved mom  ,darling dad , loving didi n of course cribbing " ME" ...:P :P

So here is a big " birthday kiss" for you and a bigger tight  embrace so that U dont feel bereft of my companionship today..As for the slice of cake i will somehow manage to live without that and please this time donot hold me to have my favourite ** chowmien** ;) like you did on your last birthday..:(:( I remember u  didnt let me  have the bit of this cake  ..Dont worry sweetheart i'll take the revenge soon...

I Try to remember that touch which gave me goose bumps at tug at my arms with my own hands to feel that feeling again...

Vicky donor delievers...!!

First thing first...John Abraham take a bow..!!
A hard pat on the back  for a fresh concept and a good comedy movie, for a first time producer,
Good choice, must say!!!

Vicky Donor is the story of Vicky arora who lives in Lajpat nagar with his grandmother and mother...
Its a typical Punjabi family setup..The mother is a quirky old fellow who runs beauty parlour and takes care of the son and the granny, while the son is good for nothing, typical punjabi Delhi boy..The mother and the granny are quite a pair with the "saas -bahu" bickering in the day and die for chemistry when they are a peg down in evening..

Vicky lifes takes a twisty U- Turn when Dr. Chadda(Annu kapoor) spots him and convinces him that he indeed has the choichest sperm quality to satisfy his clients..The infertility specialist Dr . chadha  does some really funny renditions of reproductive cycle, that sperm donation is actually a social service that pays as well..and how actually the entire mankind can be categourized on the basis of the sperms..

Its all a happy arrangement until Vicky falls for the very beautiful ashima Roy(Yami Gautam)..Their romance is very breezy and believable..The chemistry is good and PUnjabi/ bengali wedding is quite a laughathon..The twist in the tale comes when Ashima discovers that she cant concieve and that vicky was the sperm donor and she was not let into the secret before the wedding..


The second half is a little serious with the whole emotional, baby and trust thing but the cast delievers..The lead pair is promising and can act well and i had to reach for a tissue for once..:(

The movie is brilliant take on a very sensitive and controversial issue..Its something that would have very easily gone wrong with vulgar and sleazy humour..But the script is really intelligent and tight..U laugh , laugh harder and see more..The songs are melodious ..Pani da rang is a complete mush song that turns ur heart into jelly..Ayushman has done a great job with acting, composition and as a singer...

Its sin to miss this one...A good comedy movie after a long time..:):)

Time to go for tommorow i have my computer network exam and i havnt studied a slice of my sylabbus..
