| Of late I have been watching a lot of movies and TV soaps . And I discovered that whenever a romantic moment is about to take place a mild breeze stars blowing , the hair of the respective protagonists gets rustled and I smile !!! thank God all is well and you are still in heaven ,( This job used to be done by the notes of the Sitar in our days) . I thought of writing this because these days I get carried away by the happenings on the screen ( just the way I used to about 45/50 years back) . I like this style more because a cool breeze is easily available than the Sitar players to help denote that particular emotion . In those days I could neith... |

| OZiva Protein & Herbs – For every Indian woman who puts her family first!Women all over the world and specially in India have the tendency to keep themselves and their needs behind the curtains always fulfilling the needs of their family first --and while doing this they tend to ignore and forget their own needs their own requirements and don't realize that in this way they are actually harming their family in the long run because neglect makes them ruin their health leading to neglect of family and they also become a burden on them for whom they have reached this stage --as a result a lot of sadness and self pity follow leading to general unrest , discords and social as well as family... |

| Its Teachers day today and we are celebrating it all over the country .Every school has organised a function and the government too felicitates teachers today . We too should say thankyou to our teachers who did contribute in shaping our personalities Though some of them did leave a sad impression on our minds .We have had good teachers and bad . While some of them were loved and respected some were dreaded .The dreaded ones were of two kinds : one who were dreaded for their strictness and disciplinarian attitude but we knew that they meant good and all their strictness was aimed at making us better persons.The other species of this kind was a frustrated lo... |

| I decided to write this post today because I am afraid both the serials may loose their crispness and twists and become run of the mill sagas , as they had done a few weeks back making me feel like a fool for having recommended them to you all .I am talking about Tamanna and Dahleez on Star plus --they had lost their newness and crispness for a few week but have again picked up the threads.Tamanna is succeeding in teaching a lesson on communal harmony why and how badly is it needed and how vested interests have been trying to turn everything to their advantage using the innocent and vulnerable . Here I am forced to ask that age old question cliche too whi... |

| This Mother’s Day, let’s acknowledge people who’ve played the ‘mother figure’ in our lives. Featuring Actor Arjun Mathur and others, the video has been conceptualized and produced by The Glitch.Going beyond the literal definition of a mother and focusing on the meaning and the emotion attached to that word. This video celebrates those figures who have showed the unconditional love and care that any mother would give to a child, the support that you get when everything seems muddled. While most of us will think of their own mother who symbolizes all of the above things, you find people showing the same care apart from your “biological” mother. ... |
