Asli Rajasthan!

oh yeah after all those words on marriage material life happiness.. am back to my travelogue.. As i said more of rajasthan coming soon yes its the time for Rajasthan! Guess wat i had this crazy conversation with my rajsthani friend Nari who has apparently stuck in his dad decision of getting married before 25!! OMG i'm super excited coz his wedding is gonna be held back in rajasthan in the most traditional way..! What excited more is the fooodddd woww yummmyyy.. ok ok let me hit back to my trip..!I always had this picture of rajasthan in mind where you have this barren land with some cactus, lot of sand and a sunny day to add beauty to it – a typical desert picture. We reached Jaipur at around 2 a.m, so I really couldn’t see anything in the dark and more over I was sleepy! The morning was so welcoming in Jaipur! How can one miss to see those amazingly dressed camels and handloom shop.. For all the shopaholic out there, I would say it will be fun to buy those authentic huge bangles, earrings and those slippers. Well not to forget the Dhoti pants and cotton bags printed with OM and camels and elephants! I would call them as a must but souvenirs of Rajasthan. Jaipur the Pink City! After checking with the tour guide, I realized that it’s going to be a long fun day under the sun. We first headed out to the Amber Fort. I was just wondering if I was somewhere close to china.. As we drove to the fort I found this wall built around the fort which looked like Great Wall of China to my eyes! Then our guide explained that this wall was just like a border. The fort was massive.. Well massive isn’t the word which can describe it. One can reach the Amber Palace by three means – walk, car or the most royal ride on the elephants! Trust me you can definitely feel like a King and Queen as the elephant walks through the huge doors. Well touching to a bit of history, seems the palace was given to the govt and the fort close to it is still owned by the royal blood. The current youngest King is just 15 years old!

We walked around the beautiful palace.. The shesha palace - mirror palace was so glittering that one can take their eyes out of it. Some renovation works were going on. After going around the huge palace, we were so stunned by the architecture..! Now I heard a voice saying that I wanna study architecture dada..! So inspirational.. The artificial lake near the palace was so beautiful. As we got down to the road, we saw some typical rajasthani dances and cultural activities. My cousin Meena was so stunned looking at the colorful fun loving people though she never loved the sun. Then we headed out to the Jal Mahal and Hawa Palace where you just pass through it and it’s isn’t a place to stand and explore. Anyways we did stand in front of it for a while just to brush on the history ;) And then my aunt so insisted we eat in a local dhaba just to get the real flavor of rajasthani food. I would say it was a wonderful experience. Yummy hot tasty authentic food.. yes. I’m a Foodie . After having a sumptuous lunch, we headed over to Udaipur. Again a long travel!

Colors of a Fairy-tale!

Well i was just rereading my old blogs and was so surprised to see the way things have changed in life.. there are changes in priorities, responsibility.. sometimes it just makes me wonder if it is the real me! We all change through life, getting new experience few happy and few sad, making new mistakes.

Sometimes you get weird dreams which would make wonder if you're living someone else's dream or someone else is living in your dreams. There are somethings which remain the same just to remind you who you are and what you are worth! I am glad that one thing has never changed in my life that's my approach to life, family and friend!Sometimes i so wish i could roll back to my childhood, all you have a is happy family with no worries. A dream life all pink and happy and nice..! I should say nice is not a word to describe it. All i can say is that life is never a fairy-tale.. But sometimes in the middle of an ordinary life someone else's choice gives you a fairy-tale! Do fairy-tales come true?? if you expect an entire life pink then i must disappoint you! Life is like a bubble you never know when it would burst but when it does you should know how to handle! Most of the cases you don't know to. Sometimes life makes you feel AWWW each morning, you wake up think fresh, makes you smile when you are tired, it makes you a better person,makes you stronger and wiser an yea it makes you HAPPY!!! This fairy-tale does not just happen!Every day, every hour, every single minute, you work for it! you work harder for those every moment of life! You adjust, you care, you love, you compromise for those precious moments and those special ones. You create your own fairy-tale full of fun, happiness and love!

PS:Never expect ~ Live life like there is no tomorrow ~ love from deep down you heart ~
smile like a sunshine :)

OH MY GODDDDD... THE TOUGHEST INTERVIEW!

"Live everyday like the last day of your life", a cliche statement. Why do you think am saying this..? auright stop squeezing your brain! it has nothing to do with wat am gonna write.. lolz.. Well wondering wat am upto write? it's about marriage material!!! Parents in India they look at dating and flirting as a big deal. The best and the funniest part of arranged marriage is that you get to flirt and date your potential gurl/ guy who can soon be your life.. LEGALLY!! Craziness is all i would say though it's such an awesome feel.. i am none out of the box in this marriage world..! Wondering if this is marriage season.. just not humans even technology has started to fall in love.. Microsoft fell for Nokia/ HTC, Google committed to Motorola, and yeah the Apple is single and having fun! No wonder matrimony sites are filled with profiles like stars in the sky! The whole process of finding your soul mate has become like board examz.. omg! you scored a 9/10 in your horoscope match!!! Wow dat's like a great score as if you are gonna get admission in the world premier colleges! Had this crazy conversation with my friend at 2 in the night..She is married and she was like god knows who is this perfect couple.. i was like i so wanna meet someone who scores 10/10 ! is it something like 6/10 is the pass percentage..? and you score 10/10 you never fight and stuffs ? She was like man i don't think there's any couple who doesn't argue and fight and have misunderstanding! i was like ohhhh yeahh..Technically if all your stars are in perfect position then your are gonna be the perfect SOUL MATE!!! Next time if the couple fights its time you blame the stars and not yourself ;) not that i don't believe horoscope..but it has its own level of acceptance! Its very much obvious that u can't be this ideal/perfect couple! different minds how can you so think alike.. This is not like what happens to Marshel and Lilly in How i met your mother..where they actually feel the same thing at the same time! Horoscopes are scientific but you just need to know if your astrologer is scientific enough to understand the stars..! Man, this is supposed to be the most sweetest and ever cherished part of your life but few make you feel like you are attending the most important interview in your life! (i'm so glad that i ain't feeling so) its time we actually find a better way of interviewing just to make sure you are the right one! i wonder if there is someone called the Mr. & Ms.Right!! To me life is short, stay happy. it's all about sacrifice, compromise and trust than to fight on the whole issue again and again! Anyways at the end it..all i can say is good luck in your search!and yeahh my charming loving prince who ever you are, where ever you are ! keep smiling and love your life.. kisses and hugs to you!


PS: Finally added some romance to the Most important interview of life..!

WOWWWW I am standing right next to TAJ MAHAL!!!!!

Well.. After all that roaming in the city that never sleeps, I was in the land where nature and history meet – India, My lovely country.. Nothing beats the visual treat of busy and noisy roads, colorful atmos.. Missed all of them..The Duranto express was great with all my cousins around. The entire child in us was born again, jumping from one berth to another, getting down the stations, fighting for the upper berth and blankets. After all the hungama in the train, We reached Agra. The railway station was such a mess as expected and yeah not to mention about the tour guides who keep roaming all the way in the station just to bargain some $ and Rupee from the tourists! After all the bargaining, we finally reached the hotel for some quick refreshment. Wow watttaa breakfast.. aloo paratha’s, paneer paratha, sabji, yoghurt and pickle. After the good yummy breakfast, well I would say heavy breakfast, we were all geared up for our first day in Agra. Walking through the roads was a mess! I so wished that the govt took extra care of Agra ~ the most favorite tourist spots of India. And our guide collected our entry tickets to see the World’s beautiful monument; yes it is the TAJ MAHAL – the symbol of Love! I wonder if sun has fallen in love with the TAJ oh my god..! It was so sunny that we were so dehydrated by the time we finished the security check. Well biological abnormalities we were so high to see the beautiful monument!

Wow She definitely is a white beauty. Guess everyone should look at her and feel the beauty of it. Everyone from small to grownups take a lot of clicks, that you get calls from FB and says god sake stop updating your profile pic.. lolz.. On a personal end, I would say I loved every bit of TAJ, the love of river Yamuna hugs her around. I call her the white beauty; she was so calm stood still as I saw her 20 years back. Yes, this was my second encounter. Though I hardly remember seeing the TAJ, and all I had to kick my memory was a family pic taken when I was 3 years old may be! Not to mention I overheard some conversations of young lovers saying “Tum mer jaan ho..n blah blah blah “ Well after hearing this I so felt like giving one shot right on his head ! All I could call was hopeless romantics! Let’s not get there! After all the sightseeing and the long walks, we came to a small shop right outside the Taj Mahal, bought water bottles. We were so tired..and could so relate us to the nimboos ad wherein the sun sucks all the energy ;) Then went to Café Coffee Day ~ Anything can happen over a coffee, as they say. CCD Agra had a nice the Indian interiors, never mind we hardly noticed it since we were so dehydrated.. ordered some cappuccino , latte , Devil’s Own and ice tea! Felt so fresh.. When you are in Agra, how can one miss to taste the Agra Pedda..! the juicy and sweet yummy taste triggered all our taste buds.. After all the sweet eating we got ourselves some spicy corn. After visiting the Agra fort, we hired a car and headed over to Jaipur. Well once we cleared the check post at Rajasthan, We found a lot of locust flying around the highway. It was unusual for us! Anyways after a long drive, we finally checked into a hotel and had a tight sleep. Okay guys more of Rajasthan coming soon!

Concrete Jungle ~ NYC.. Life Unplugged

There are some moments when life flashes by, and you drop everything that you are doing or thinking to stand in awe of those moments. It all started with imagine cup New York in july. I really don’t think a blog can pen down all about the city that never sleeps – NEW YORK, USA. The most extravagant stay at Marriot Marquis, Broadway, makes you feel like a New Yorker. A perfect place to consume all the energy. New York on the whole gives you a fabulous experience.. you can quietly partake or watch all the fun..A walk through the Times square is a must for all.. the lights, the crowd, the naked cowboy, Fifth avenue, Hard rock café, restaurants, theatres.. best place to experience the fast moving life.. And if you are someone who loves a silence greenery and you find yourself in the midst of huge buildings, NYC can never be a disappointment for you.. You have a great place to wander away from the frenzie gust of NYC , yes its Central Park – with extensive walk paths, lakes, zoo, strawberry field, Harlem.. New York is an epitome for those who love fun.. The musem of Natural History is a great educational gateway for kids. is well known for it's exhibits like the full-scaled blue whale ( the largest living animal ) that hangs from the ceiling of the Milstein Family hall of ocean life, it's famous fossil collection, the planetarium and so many others. My personal favorite exhibit is "The Hall of the Age of Man" know called "The Hall of Human Biology". This exhibit has the most in dept history of human evolution in the world. It has a collection of anatomically correct models of are ancestor's and other early primates. The Rockefeller centre is one of the most popular attractions in NYC. A beautiful New York destination all year long, the Rockefeller Center is home to numerous NY events, including the lighting of the famous Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree. This iconic NYC landmark has been featured in dozens of films and TV shows over the past century, and is home to the legendary NBC Studios and Saturday Night Live. With its serene statues and beautiful art nouveau murals, Rockefeller Center is also a popular destination for art enthusiasts in NYC. The Rockefeller Center features Top of the Rock - an observation deck atop the GE Building with panoramic views of Central Park and the Empire State Building. The lower plaza, you have a nice view of the sculpture of Prometheus and the GE building. How can one forget the Charging bull or the Wall Street bull, a 7100 Lb Bronze sculpture.. As you head down the road, you head to the Memorial for the WTC.. Wat moved me the most was the Amex memorial for their 11 employees.. last but not the least..you see a beautiful monument that depicts the symbol of friendship between France and USA.. Yes it's the Statue of Liberty, located in the harbor of NY. The historical gateway for millions of immigrants to the United States , the Ellis Island. The friendly neighborhoods - China Town, Little italy, greenwhich village,soho and the must walk thru the oldest suspension Brooklyn bridge would make you feel all new and fresh.

This magical city can never be described in words..The song by Aliciakeys is so perfect.. Concrete jungle where dreams are made of.. there’s nothing you cant do.. Lets hear it for New York, These streets will make you feel brand new big lights will inspire you.. Lets hear it for New York New York New York..!!

Men and Women Don't Think Alike But Let's Be Fair !

There's a famous saying that men are from mars and women are from venus. is merely a superficial conclusion when keeping in mind all the differences and yet the similarities that exist between a man and a woman. Though men and women never get along well they are meant to be together . This is where the blame game starts. Trying to decode each others mind in the same time makes things more complicated .


Well, what makes me write this is coz of my good sweet loving friends rohan and viks who were having this conversation over dinner on how complicated gurls are to be impressed. Truly speaking gurls are very simple only if you know to look beyond the complications. Its about how you break the barrier. Now lets see whats going on in his mind .Their way to deal with us ie women is to basically agree to a lot of comments and critique we make. And then they apologize to make things better.
We never really unfold their minds to see what is really inside them, and what makes them the way they are.  On the outside a lot of men seem to be very self confident, macho man carry themselves like gentlemen, demonstrate their etiquette and good manners. On the inside, they are just like everyone else, have concerns and sensitive issues. They have fears and desires, that sometimes they can not share with us because they
feel that , by opening up they may be jeopardizing their manhood. Thus, the man who holds a lot of things inside eventually becomes resentful and closed up. We always think whats going on his head now but at times guys just don't think anything at all.. its just too blank..yea the typical stereotype guy acts really cool outside but definately doesn't like it from heart.. yeah gurls do have to understand that guys just look out for fun.. what would be a guys dream? Earn big, Go to Vegas have a bash with friends. the best part is they act very intelligent and try cooking up some story and end up being caught red handed..lolz.. they just don't know to lie or hide. And not to mention their love for numbers.. they have a wonderful memory when it comes to scorecards.But i would call it selective memory coz they never good with anniversaary dates, birthday dates. They just love to be a master of all and love trying some adventure such as household work trying to show that they are helpful or they can live independently but they do messing things up more. They are very smart in explaining that there is a small line between looking and ogling which is never accpeted. They are not consistent as we think, they are super cool and funtoss to some situations when it's not their girl friend. Now the Girlfriend comes up with an issue there he goes proving how philosophical he is about life and how over caring he is towards her..! thats the typical guy possessiveness which just pops out of his big head filled with so many questions which he wanted to talk out but never did and there he gets the best option to outburst.On the whole men are supposedly responsible, smart and intelligent.
Now going to the other side of the so called complicated heads with lot of twist and turns, the love of every men – The Women. n important aspect that one has to keep in mind when trying to understand women is that a woman passes through many different stages in her life. She plays many different roles; she is a mother, a sister, a wife, a friend and a human .They are just this typical jaba jaba talkative with very long tongues who loves gossips. It's very easy to open up their minds, just a lil homework on how to gain trust and being sweet can do it. But not to mention that there are always exceptions where some serious homework is needed if you really intend to break into their heads. Another bunch of girls who just love guys being themselves and not trying to be others just for the fact to impress the girl. Most of women feel very strongly about their opinions and general overview of what life and other people behavior should be. And, most of the time they may be right, since women are given that amazing sense of intuition and righteousness.  And not to mention their love for the silly kiddish games and making people guess in the name of surprise. They also twist the entire scenario just to make the guy think complicated. They love to be pampered, consoled, loved and admired. Well satisfying a girl is like trying to count the stars in the sky. And to talk about the memory, they have such love for numbers that they are right always and remember even the slightest and the smallest information. Guys hate this part of the women brain just coz they remember whats spoken 6 to 8 months ago and the feel its inadmissible for them to pull that into the last conversation.A woman wants the men to change for her and adapt her ways; so she should at least consider his requests and thoughts. The women can make the changes, and adjust to his means for the sake of her relationship.  Unlike men, we are very receptive and adoptable to changes! Best way to console a girl when she is upset is just take her out for shopping, then later on would end up being upset for taking them out. They are such a shopoholics. They would just get the whole lot just for one reason wow it looks so cute..! woww watte color..! i dun have this design..! wat da hell its so so cheap just buy as much as you can..!90% of men would probably pay a fortune to enter in their lover’s mind and discover all her deepest secrets. What all women want in their lives though is just a sense of belonging and security. Every woman looks out for safety in her life; she wants to feel safe and independent yet she does feel the necessity to be challenged and contradicted at times too.In the mind of a woman, runs a river of words, of emotions, of sorrows, and at times a river of happiness. For all of you out there, get yourself prepared because in her mind, there is absolutely no black or white!

But we have to accept that reality is different, once we learn to live with it then things are less complicated. So just don't think too much.. ;-)

Feeling Cloud 9 ?

Happy? hyper? excited? do all these relate to cloud 9? or do u believe in cloud 9? Personally, yes i do.. very much in fact.. We never understand that happiness is just an attitude.It's just up to us for living it happy. We either make ourself feel miserable and pathetic or happy and strong.
First time in life am feeling much better than ever. Life is going good with hectic schedules yet should say great. Feeling lucky enough to get some good positive emotions everyday(touch wood).Somehow i catch myself to the point that i'm smiling more these days, not sure what the reason is again. But the feels good just to be back to myself after a couple of months of frustration. Being myself the way i want, the way i am feels really great .We always complain  about life but we never realize that we would be much happier if start to look beyond the imperfections. It's just about living life pinky and happy. You got the right to be happy. You just have to be. If you are, everything will fall in place. So just pull in yourself and FEEL GOOD! FEEL HAPPY! Yeppie I'm on cloud 9.. lolz.. keep smiling :)
