Don’t you think life is too unpredictable?

Why bother about tomorrow when you can live to the fullest today… It’s not compulsory to always decipher how your tomorrow should be. No one knows what their tomorrow will look like. However, everyone is informed of the present situation. One may plan as much as they want for their future but it’s impossible to avoid the unpredictable changes life brings to your door. Everyone advises to think about the future; plan ahead, but no one communicates regarding the present.

It’s innate to worry more about the future than the present. However, if one constantly envisions about the future, then he’s living in an illusion. Do you agree? One takes the present for granted. One doesn’t realize that he should be only aware of what’s happening right now, right here. If you live in the moment, then you are living your life fully. There are enormous amount of people who uniformly disturb their mind with upcoming tasks, meetings, family situations and completely ignore the fact that whatever is meant to happen will happen. By getting agitated or harassing your mind and body; tomorrow won’t change. Life is unpredictable and it doesn’t run on your finger tips.

If you’re living in the present, you’re living in acceptance. You are accepting life as is; you are living in that moment; and you have no qualms with it. Always remember, you can control your mind; you can make yourself happy; and you can enjoy this very moment…

So, are you elated to read my article? :)

Happy birthday to my hubby!

So, it’s my hubby’s birthday today. It’s been a little over a year we both got married and I finally decided that this time I’ll publish this article online. I have dedicated quite a few articles to my beloved but never posted on my blog site. Simply because he’s a bit against it. This time, I aint’ listening to him. Because this is a surprise!

I fancy his company a lot. I love to talk and he likes to listen…and only listen. At times I have to force him to reciprocate at least something. So I don’t feel like I’m a radio. HA! Laugh it up… I think it’s pretty common in couples. Women’s obviously love to share more than men. On the other hand, he enjoys irritating me in every possible way. Believe me, this is definitely one of the best qualities all men have! Girls – do you all agree?

Things certainly change once you are married with your partner. At times when I look back and ponder upon my courtship period, my heart fills out with happiness. You are only required to look pretty, dress up fancy, show up on a date and head back home. No responsibilities. No worries. The picture looks quite different post marriage. The word responsibility drops on the couple like a bomb. And trust me; it’s a heck of a job! I’m sure all married people know what exactly I’m talking about.

After marriage, every day I learn something new about my hubby. Maybe one of his childhood stories or one of his bad habits or which cuisine he favors or how he avoids eating out and asks me to cook at home… I believe with each passing day, the bonding is only getting stronger.

The most amazing thing I found in my hubby is how crazily he tries to make me laugh. How he would start singing a song out loud in the middle of the day, out of nowhere... And how he would start mimicking one of the bollywood stars... He is quite a knowledgeable person. I love to call him my Google because it’s easier and faster to ask him a question then to turn on my computer and actually Google it.

Slowly and gradually we both are accommodating with each other and hoping to make our tomorrow blissful. Overall, he’s a fun loving person and I absolutely adore living with him and irritating him and harassing him in every possible way!!!

Happy birthday, sweetheart!

Once again…it’s IPL time!

The fever began a couple of days ago. The show business is back. IPL is a much awaited event in India and abroad as well. In past couple days, my twitter account is getting bombarded with tweets dedicated to IPL. Once again all the public is glued to their televisions day in day out. And some will be constantly keeping an eye on the scoreboard online.

IPL is becoming colossal with each passing year. Business tycoons and mega Bollywood stars investing crore’s in all the teams. Usually I find Bollywood stars promoting their movies or partying hard. However, these days you find them linking up with the Cricket world. The top notch actresses want to perform at the opening ceremonies. They want to be seen in all the matches because that’s where the media is… Apparently if you are a mega-star and not associated with IPL then you ain’t that famous!

The show business has even allured our well talented and level headed cricketers to get side-tracked. Back in the days, it wasn’t common to hear gossip between actors and cricketers. But, IPL broke the curse. Cricket is already a much hyped up sport in our country. And post IPL it became all glitzy and glammy. Thanks to our Bollywood stars who want to be seen around in all the matches. Well, I’m anxiously waiting to hear all the stories of our IPL this year. Every year there is some sort of ghotala or gossip conjugated with this business. I wonder what’s coming up next…

Tip: The simple mantra actresses can choose to get famous is ‘to be seen with Cricketers when the media is around’….and it’ll hit the front page!

Bahama – mama…

Last weekend hubby and I flew to Nassau, Bahamas. The place is a perfect getaway and heavenly. To the people who have visited Atlantis in Nassau know exactly what I’m referring to. The minute our small and dingy plane took off from Florida, the fun began! It’s barely a 40 minute flight and the ocean views from up top our breath-taking. The water around the Nassau island was so immaculate that the even the seabed was clearly visible. I did spot the Atlantis from the plane. The airport at the island is hot as hell, stinky, and filled with humidity. The long immigration line reminded me of India and how eagerly I always wait to get out of the airport.

Afterwards, we grabbed a taxi and headed off to the Paradise Island. Yup, Atlantis is situated on Paradise Island. The entire resort is magnificent. Believe it or not, there is no such resort like Atlantis in the entire world. At least, that’s what I heard. Luckily, we got the perfect room with the perfect view of the entire place. The ocean looks crystal clear and luminous and if viewed from up-top it’s beyond comparison. I have visited many beaches but Bahamas can beat all the beaches. Even the Aquaventure and marine life looked stupendous from the balcony. Atlantis has built its own Aquaventure on the property. Aquaventure is a combination of bountiful dreadful and wild water rides. Some of them go through tunnels so you can catch a glimpse of marine life. Fortunately, I experienced and survived all except for two. Leap of faith and Abyss [names of ride] can be compared to sudden heart attacks and I was having a blissful vaca so decided to avoid them. On the other hand, hubby decided to face-his-fear and experienced both twice. Good job, I guess. HA!

The resort has countless pools around Aquaventure and magical views from every angle. They also play loud music throughout the day which is audible to all the guests. I was jolted when I heard them playing Hindi songs. Oh yeah, paisa vasool… LOL. Palm trees and greenery around the resort brings immense cheerfulness. Marine life is also an attraction on the property. We had our brunch right next to the stingray’s swimming in the lagoon. One can spot tortoise, dolphins, nemo, sharks and incalculable fishes. Infact, the guests are allowed to snorkel in the Lagoon as well. Whoever thought of the infrastructure of this place was definitely a genius. The entire hotel glows at night and looks impeccable. There are live bands playing music and people dance to their tunes without giving a care in the world. From shopping to eating joints to dancing it’s all there. I also gazed at colossal cruises leaving the resort at night from my balcony. For all cruises, the hot destination is Atlantis.

All in all, it is definitely a must-go place in the world. The views, the resort, water slides, night-life, oceanfront are truly breath-less. The resort is filled with activities and one can never feel bored. A place filled with enjoyment and gratification for all ages… You must experience it to believe it!

Ladies: Are you dealing with weight issues?

Please, join the club! Yes, my numero uno dilemma or frustration [whatever you want to call it] is the weight issue. Each time I hit the gym, I glance over to see who am I competing with? The minute I see a skinny girl, I get envious. Why are you here? Thank you for making me realize how over-weight I am… On the other hand, it does act as a motivation that I have to work out harder and it’s going to be an arduous task from here on.

The best way to find out how exactly you look like is to go shopping. Whenever I go shopping, I get a good glimpse of myself. Trying on different clothes can help you envision what sort of attire you can carry irrespective of the extra baggage you’re carrying. At the same time, it’s quite disappointing as well. Driving back from the mall makes me become more vigilant of my own personality. These days every girl is concerned about her weight in some way or another. As much as you try to control the diet, eat healthy, stick to your workout regime; the weight does come back. Because, one cannot stick to such superlative plan forever! It is nearly impossible to bypass savory food loaded with calories. No matter in which part of the world you reside, fatty food can be found everywhere. Always remember, the only way to climb the ladder of ‘fit and healthy’ is to identify the nutrition going inside your body and eventually to control it. Can you girls do that?

I always had this thought in my mind: what if getting fat was never an issue in this world? What if we could do the following at all times:
Eat any kind of food
Calories never existed
Workout sessions were optional
We look PHAT every day, every time!

Ahh, who am I kidding? Let’s break this bubble and revert to our complications.

To have a perfect figure for as much as you live is almost surreal!

Tere naal love ho gaya!

A very light, sweet, and cute love story. 2012 is definitely the best year for Ritesh and Genelia. The couple is on cloud nine. Their wedding played a pivotal role in promoting their film. The wedding celebration lasted almost two weeks and the hype created by the media surely generated enough curiosity to see this lovely couple’s film. Believe me, it is one of the main reasons why people are watching this film. It didn’t do wonders at the box office but it was refreshing to see the couple romance through the hill stations of our country.

The script is not-so-original however; the presence of the lovely couple allures the audience. Genelia seemed to play her natural role. We’ve seen her bubbly side in ‘Jaane Tu Yah Jaane Na’ and she acts somewhat a similar character. As far as Ritesh goes, he has performed far better. After watching Housefull, Kya Kool Hain Hum, and many more of his comical roles; it’s hard to digest his portrayal in this film. Ritesh has aced the funny roles in his previous movies. However, in TNLHG he tried to play a ‘romantic hero’.

Om Puri is always excellent in his roles. Not only did he convince us with his Haryanvi accent, he also managed to make us giggle here n there. Tinu Anand’s desperate father figure performance entertained the public quite a bit. He never fails to amuse us with his different characters. TNLHG is a onetime watch film. If you adore Mr & Mrs. Deshmukh’ go for the movie. It’s interesting to see their chemistry on-screen as well.

Do you have too many choices around you…?

Do you agree with me? Do you wholeheartedly believe that we have an entire closet filled with choices and it has become nearly impossible to zero in on one? When I was growing up in the late 80’s and 90’s, I wasn’t aware of the word choice. Or may I say that choices were limited and luxurious. Surely, I wasn’t growing up in a house where luxury came in handy. Whatever my parents placed in front of me was the done deal. Period.

But, times have changed a whole lot. One can find n number of choices in almost everything out there. Cars, houses, clothes, food etc. Infact, it’s bizarre to even think how many types of cereal we have in grocery stores. There is too much to choose from. That is the reason why most of us find ourselves in confusion mode. Too many choices mean too many thoughts. And too many thoughts certainly puts too much of pressure…on your brain! At times I feel late 80’s to 90’s was a better time as compared to today. Here’s an instance: there are like countless grocery stores to buy milk and on top of that countless brand names… where are those days when milk-man came to your door steps.

I’m having a hard time scribbling this article simply because I have a jillion thoughts running in my mind. So, I have to make a choice in my head as to which one is worthy of this article. However, I rest my case! If I print anymore, this will turn into an idiotic post. I genuinely thank my readers for bearing this article. Dhanyevaad.
