Blessed..

Been to 5 star hotels,luxurious,lavish and posh lives cannot beat this one...

Living in tamil nadu from childhood was fun.I used to fight for one rupee from my mom and buy wat? a handful of colour colour goli's orange,pink,green matching to my frock and collect in my pockets.each gloi costs just 5 paise.But it was somethin expensive for me thou i got only 20 of them.But nothing can beat the " pal gova" over here. made with milk,sugar and other agents was just delicious. In my childhood days one square inch costs 25 paise so 4 pieces for one rupee, which i preserve it in my school bag to hide it from mom,sis and bro. if mom sees me eatin that she scold, sis will steal it demand for a share for which i hesitated.Coz gettin money was difficult.I also remember stealin Rs. 5 from my dad's pocket and i bought my one month stock comprising of colour mittai, in tamil, then mittai,pal gova's and nellika.These in expensive sweet delicacies of tamil nadu reminds me of my childhood but recently a sudden though against this one.How can i forget the elandhavadu and podi(dried bore)But where i being a north indian living in tamil nadu i also happened to taste the delicacies of north my city " jodhpur".
The goli's are the same both places,but only diff here was in north my granny used to save it for me so wen i go meet her she'll give me few and rest i have to share with my siblings.Apart from goli there's thil papdi,mave ki kachori,mirchi vada,churan and supari and many more.

So i 'm blessed with being in tamil nadu n born in rajasthan.If not how cud i taste those delicacies which are inexpensive but memorable in my mind still.

Just Imagine!

All the words and letters used in this blog are purely ficticious and words of imagination.

It starts with this after death of human beings where do they go? the body remains on this planet but wat about the soul? according to my religious believes we 're taught that we goto hell or heaven depending upon ur " karma" now karma is nothin but our good and bad deed done on the earth.The karmas are recorded in the books of our deeds and counted.If the count of bad karmas increased hell is the place decided for us, Called as " narak" in hindi. Now if u eat non veg which is a sin in jainism religion u will be cut into pieces and fried in deep hot Oil. If u hurt someone beating,cheatin,lie u will be rewarded with same beating double the amount u did.If u break the rules and commit sins the next birth will be a bird, an animal, human or next to god" dev" in hindi.Now its just a imagination believing it or not is upto every individual.
They also say one shud not bow before other god, other than ur's " kudev" in hindi. we dont pray idols so which means god doesnt exist. its within. u pray your soul.

My first article on INDIAN express NEWSPAPER


Nail Art

Getting clad in right attires and teaming up the perfect matching accessory – you might be all set for a rocking time.
But what can add more to our fashion sense and style is experimenting with nail art, which can add that punch in your overall personality. Here’s what all you can try with your nails... FUNKY IS IN : A crazy hairdo and wacky attire are striking, but what about your nails? Colour them in funky shades too to make a statement, says nail technician Gowrimanogari. She says this is the right time to wear crazy nails with loads of attitude and confidence. "I have seen people carrying crazy hair styles and dresses with confidence, but most of them play it safe with nail colours. People still do not take the business of nail care seriously.This is the right time to add funk to your nails and make a statement," said Gowri.at Naturals spa and salon in R.S pram "It is very unfortunate that people ignore the only part of the body that goes into the mouth. We pay attention to our attire, hair and skin but how many of us regularly take care of hands?" she questioned. "The first thing we do when meeting people is shake hands, and if our hands are not manicured what kind of impression will we give to the other person? She elaborates: "Most of the time we look at our hands and not face, so it is important to make them look good to feel good." "I used to bite my nails a lot and they were in a pathetic shape. One day my friend got nail extensions and her hands looked pretty. I thought I should go for it too and when I did it cost me 20 rupees for one nail! It was way too expensive and then I started reading on the subject and finally I took it as a profession to offer cheap yet quality service to people," she added. According to her, today's generation is paying much attention to their looks. "Thanks to exposure to the media, youngsters are aping Hollywood, Bollywood and Kollywood stars and paying attention to their looks, and that includes nails too. They want to look perfect and we help them reach this perfection," she maintained. In India people are "driven by fashion" and the ratio of working women is very high. "So for them it is important to look good all the time," she added. Suggesting that women should go for manicures at least once in a month, "Make it a point to go for regular manicures as it gets the dirt out of your cuticles and keeps them soft happened

GO WACKY : This season, forget about boring pinks, browns and maroons for painting your nails. Be bold and play with the wackiest nail enamels available in the town - red and black and even green and gold. "Nowadays customers are experimenting with colours like red, black and white. They do not mind flaunting such nail enamels with confidence", Black nail polish has always been associated with the rock lovers and with those who love to be different. "I have always loved the black nail paint. Though it is very difficult to carry such a bold colour, it surely helps in drawing attention to your hands, said Chetna.P.Mehta a college student and rock music lover. For the people who fancy red, there is good news: various shades of the colour are available to suit Indian complexions. This is quite a contrast from the recent past when red had virtually gone out of fashion. Sonika, a beauty specialist at L'oreal Saloon said: "Fortunately Indian markets are flooded with various shades of red and this gives customers the freedom to choose the right colour and carry it with confidence." "It is very important to choose the perfect red shade to match the tone of your hands. Not everyone is bestowed with beautiful hands, so the choice becomes really tough," she added. Apart from red and black, women are also experimenting with various shades of blue, green, mauve, gold and silver. All these are different from the conventional nail paints and are quite popular among the younger crowd. "The punk look is in fashion, so playing with bold paints and colours simply get you the right attention especially if one follows fashion trends religiously", said design student Rumita.V. Although bold colours are very popular among teenagers, this isn't so with women who are in the 30s. Their comfort levels start and end with browns and pinks - and experimentation is certainly not the word for them.

E o m,
Sweety Bagrecha jain.

Many quilled art works can be found on cabinets and stands, cribbage boards, ladies' purses, a wide range of both pictures and frames, work baskets, tea caddies, coats of arms and wine coasters. Storage boxes, larger than most jewelry boxes with drawers and/or tops that opened, quilled lock boxes, and much more. Some items were specially designed for quilling with recessed surfaces. Quilling was also combined or married with other techniques such as embroidery and painting.
The craft has gone through many transformations and changes through the ages using new techniques, styles and materials. Dimensional quilling creates 3D items.
