Happy Birthday Rakhee....

Gone girl with a blue streak.

Hi guys....

Mind blowing. Finally i saw Gone Girl and i would have to agree that it is one of the best movies of 2014. I had heard so many good things about it that i finally managed to drag my roommate Rakhee to the theater half sleepy and by the time movie got over she was full awake One point for that.

The only thing i didnt like about it was the ending. I would have loved if it ended differently. Or if it had to end the way it did atleast let us know what happens in the future. Does he manage to run away or maybe commit sucide or just endure it??? I would love to have him run away but i think most probably he commits sucide. 

Coming to ootd: i wasnt feeling like dressing up so just wore denim overalls and flats. And a word of advice if you are short like me do not pair your overalls with flats. You ask why? Well i didnt know it until i saw the pictures and well it looks like someone just cut me a little near my legs and attached back the foot. What would look amazing would be some wedged sneakers or some pink pumps.

Yes i have blue streaks. Naah they aint permanent. This Saturday i had gone to New U, and i came across these temporary spray paints for hair by bblunt. You spray whatever crazy streak you want and once you wash your hair it gets cleaned out. It's called bblunt One night stand. It comes in 4 colors blue,green, a shade of brown and copper. Its supposed to last around 10 applications atleast thats what the SA told me. I got the blue as you can see. I have used it once and its okay. Maybe i placed it wrongly or maybe i was wearing too much blue but it didnt stand out the way it was supposed to. After 3-4 hours of application you really couldnt tell that i had blue streak on. Until you looked closely. Also if you look closely its like tiny atoms of blue color sticking to your hair. But for pray paint  hair color i guess thats what you get.Anyhow i will use it couple of more times maybe i will discover some secrets ;-) And yeah it costs just 300 rupees. So you can get all the 4 colors and be a peacock or a rainbow.

What is Love???

Few days back one of my friends asked me a question which i am sure has troubled all of us atleast once in our lifetime. "What is Love" ? And as i gave all the answers in the book it got me thinking is it really all that. Wiki says Love is a variety of different feelings,states and attitudes that ranges from interpersonal affection to pleasure,Science says its just a chemical reaction of different hormones in your body , Books tell us its unconditional, accepting and kind And movies tells us that when you can't stop thinking about the other person and they are the only one that matters; that's love. I would say that's more on the lines of obsession and infatuation.

According to me, Love is like a scent of perfume. Strong at the beginning,alluring, it becomes you but with time it melts down into something sublime and subtle which doesn't have an overpowering presence but its just there like a whiff.You love someone and they know it and they love you and you know it, but its a party and you both are talking to other people,and you look across the room and catch each other's eye but not because its possessive or precisely sexual..but because..that is your person in this life. Frances Ha really nails it. It all sounds romantic but its not the complete reality. Most of us never find that person. Maybe we stop looking too soon or we find them but are too scared or proud to be with them. Ohh being adult is complicated. 

Love is over-rated. It has the glossy covering of sweet lies making it appear beautiful. Its a money making machine. Just amount of money people make selling books, movies, music about love is just insane. I guess we are more in love with the feeling of being in love rather than really being in love. You love your parents,friends, bf/gf, pets and it should be same for everyone. Definition of love shouldnt vary with respect to the person you are in love with. "I cant live without you, you are my life" is just for the fairy tales. People live. One love goes you find a replacement to fill it and that's why its everlasting cause it doesn't depend on just 2 mortal humans.

It does have the power to change you. But if love is supposed to be unconditional and accepting why does someone have to change to be loved ?? If love is supposed to be unconditional then why do we have so many terms and conditions from society?? And if love is supposed to be kind then why is that the person we love the most hurts us the most?? Einstein !! Yeah i am skeptic. But i do agree it makes you happy. It puts you on cloud nine. But then one of spoon of mom's gajar ka halwa does too. Just saying !!!

Of Songs and Skirts!

Hii.....

Its been 1 hour and i have been listening to "When i'm gone" by Lulu and the Lampshades which was also covered by Anna Kendrick in Pitch Perfect on repeat. In short i am addicted to it at the moment. Doesn't it happens so, that you are listening to your playlist and suddenly you see a song in a different light,like never before. Its like the song has been made for you. It kinda gives me a feeling of those Art experts who find deep underlying meanings in Modern Art Painting though it looks just random stuff to us.I am not going anywhere but i don't know i am kind of feeling it. Like its trying to tell me something.

I am not much of a superstitious person but i do believe in signs that destiny or some Higher power gives you. And i feel music is one such way via which "destiny"communicates with us. Anytime i am in a dilemma i would put on any one of my fav radio stations and i would get answers to my queries through the songs that get played. I know it sounds stupid but it has hardly ever failed me. Yeah, it depends on my interpretation and maybe it helps me find the answers i already knew deep down. But its a help nonetheless. And doesnt everything in this world is premeditated and happens for a reason. So maybe the songs that play too.

Another thing that starts with "S" are skirts :-P Its lame but i didnt know how to go about it. Skirts are one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe. You can play it up or down, from Sexy to Casual. It works always. My favorite are the skater skirts. I am 5.2 and i feel they make me look tall :-D

I wore this skirt for a late lunch our with friends. I paired my lace skater skirt from Forever 21 with a casual denim blue shirt from Max. I would have to say there is hardly anything i wear more than this denim shirt. From just a shirt to a jacket it has been everything to me. It can dress down any outfit. For shoes i wore some nude pumps from Jade. For accessories i wore an owl necklace and watch.For face i kept it bare except a little kajal and eyeliner and little dash of  MAC Ruby Woo on lips.

We went to Over the top - terrace lounge in Kormangla and i would rate it 3/5. I would say its a more of night place then afternoon-eveningish. There were hardly any people there. The place is nice and comfy. You can sit and chat for hours. The food was tasty.In all it was a day well spent.

Hiiiiii......

How u guys been?? Its been a pretty lazy Saturday for me. Watched 3 movies back to back 😀😀 Its been a while since i have watched a movie on tv and that too premier. Usually im guilty of torrenting but then who isnt 😝 The movie im talking about is Heropanti and overall it wasnt bad. The songs were good 😉 Normal Bollywood Romantic movie. After that i again watched Social Network and was feeling little girly so closed it off with Aisha 😤😤

I started this 365 photo day challenge and i am not sure how long i will be into it but lets see😕 And OMG i have also almost learnt the Cup Song. I can sing it but cup thing kinda gets messed up. Anyways nothing beats a day when u can sit in bed and do the cup tricks. I been going crazy over it and my roomies over me. The banging irritates them to the core😈😈 But im still practising to get it all right. It will be like an accomplishment. A trick i know at parties😆

Its 4 am in morning and me being an Owl is still hooting around waiting for the sleep to cover me. Signing off! Over and Out... Hoooooooooo

Confessions of a Shopaholic : Part 1

Hiiiii....

Are you the kind who has more membership cards than credit/debit cards?? Who buys stuff from certain stores just cause you will be getting points in return which you can redeem later?? And when you have successfully redeemed those points you feel like you have scored some amazing deal?? Well you are not alone. I am right there with you☺☺ I am crazy card collector !! Just yesterday redeemed 250 odd points and i was all jumping with joy inside🙅🙆🙇  These days my mind is in a hyperactive mode so as i stood in the long queue it got me thinking!!

Its actually based on " how i met your mother" theory :- everything and everyone has a BUT !! So whats the BUT behind these generosity😑 I have observed that almost all the stores price their items as dash dash dash 9. It will be a multiple of 11*9 or something of that sort. I mean it will end in 99 or 9. I had read somewhere that human brain when it sees say a t shirt priced at 800 rps it will be like oh my god ! So much for this piece of cotton; you dont need it😐 But when it sees the price as 799 it in some miraclous way thinks that its perfectly reasonable and you go ahead and buy it!! And our brain is supposed to be smarter than computer 😨

Anyways i didnt believe in this theory much. And i have got my conspiracy theory regarding why the stores price their items in 99s. The card points work on basis of the multiples of 100 that you spent usually. That is on every 100rps you spend you get 1 or 2 points as per the rating system. So when you go ahead and buy that 800 t shirt you are supposed to get 8 points. BUT wait you dont get 8 points. You paid 799 thats 1rp less than 800 so you get 7 points. You have been ripped off!! Even after paying 99rps you dont get any point for it. I know 1 point doesnt make much difference but say 1000 people buy stuff and for each person they save 1 point that makes it 1000 ruppees saved. Not big enough amount. Now lets say 10k people got stuff; thats 10k ruppees saved. And these are just hypothetical numbers. In reality they will be much more.

However i have found a solution for getting your that one point 😈 Before today it used to be one of my pet peeves but now i look at the bright side of it. Getting the carry bag. I used to get so grrrrr when they would charge us for the carry bags. I mean i was born in a time period where it was mandatory that you get a carry bag free with you purchase. But now you gotta pay for it even if its made of paper😠 Anyways it does the job. Helps the total amount cross the nervous 90s and get that one point and you get the bag too... 😑😑 Pound Petty Penny Wise 😤😤

Another Sad Love Story..

Hiii.....

I been gone for a long time... i was kind of suffering from mild writers block and i wont say i am all recovered but i am on my way. Few days back i found a short sad story i wrote while in college. It is a fiction story :P My first attempt at story writing... so here it goes...

I am at the club,its Leah's 25th birthday and we are partying, actually they are partying and i am just...there, pretending to be partying and having a good time. I partying even be here if it wasnt for Mizmy best friend.Last couple of months i have been kinda anti-social an she thought it was high time she took control over my social life.

Actually it started 172 days back exactly.The day me and my boyfriend now ex-boyfriend ofcourse, we split after 7 years of being together.The reason for splitting i wont go into that.Lets just say it two perfectly made for each two were no more perfect.It was bad..it was ugly!!! I guess we faced the seven year itch.

Back to the present they have just finished their shots and we are making our way up to the more private lounge.As i make my way up the stairs i see him making his way down.His wearing the t-shirt i had got for him and which he had hated then.But now that he hates what he once loved the most, its obvious for him to like what he hated then.Oh and his not alone.I mean no one goes clubbing alone but what the hell is she doing here. Okay she is his friend but from when did she become his friends friend!!!Shes not his girlfriend he never liked her.But then no one can guarantee the future.

He sees me.Our eyes meet and nothing.......
Thats the saddest part.There was a time when our eyes spoke a million words,created fireworks, and now theres just the emptyness.I dont know either we have become strangers not to understand what each one is saying or i guess we dont have anything left to speak....

Anyways my party is over and i make a u-turn to the exit while messaging miz that i am going.I'l explain her everything later.I know shes going to be pissed .If the last few months have been worst for me they havent been much good for her either.Being my roommate,crying shoulder,my advicer shez gone through everything that i have gone through too..

I hail a cab.Sitting in tha cab feeling the wind on my face my mind wanders back to him.To everything that we were and everything we arent anymore.... we were supposed to be together forever but somewhere along the road to eternity we lost each other.It wasnt his fault neither was it mine.I still dont know what went wrong,what we could have done differently.I loved him lots and he loved me.We just didnt have the destiny with us.

Right now i want nothing more than to go back to the club,tell him how much i love him and that we can still make it work. To fall into his arms as he bear hugged me but i fall into an empty bed as the loneliness hugs me tightly taking me again on our journey of ifs and buts,a regret,a loss of a dream,a chance, a life...........
