Nelly Furtado,Say it right!

Another video , but this one am proud of coz I learnt it on my own.without the pick too!Considering am working now and havent had a chance to touch my guitar for over a month now.

 Nothing comes easy, broken and chipped nails is the price I pay to strum my guitar! This is the sacrifice am glad to make though...


I find Hindi songs are much difficult to learn on guitar coz I have been tryin 2 Hindi songs and just cant get them right! Next video will be a Hindi song hopefully

Days go by,and lifes changing day by day minute by minute..But only thing that doesn't change is  the people around me who I can count on..I have been thinking of writing about 2 most important people in my life (after my mother ofcourse).Its only fair that I write few words about them when these two remarkable people have showered my blog with wonderful comments, been so encouraging and supportive.No matter what crap I write I have always had these two commenting and encouraging me to write. They are the reason why this blog is what it is today.The credit would go to Capt Ajay Rao and Putta. The two most important people in my life.

Happy birthday to my blog...

Its been 1 year that I wrote my first blog post.Since then my lifes changed so much! Its amazing to look back and see how much my beloved blog has evolved & so have I..
This post is not about me. This blog is definitely not a DEAR DIARY or a chronicle of my life but more like a tidbits of my life...
This post is about all the celebrities who go under the needle to keep up their good looks. And common man unknowingly worships and idolises them.We forget that they are just like any other ordinary person facing their own demons, with skeletons in their closets...
Here are the BEFORE and AFTER pictures of such celebrities



South Indian actresses are not behind ...Sridevi and shilpa shetty exclusively...



Men are not lagging behind too..Hair transplants(Salman khan) plastic surgery(Amir khan and all the other Khans) is a common procedure amongst these actors..


Makes you feel good about yourself isnt it?Bizarre yet true...

"Memories fade , but a photograph lasts a lifetime!"

Time flies like an arrow!Memories fade with time, thats the reason I capture moments in pixels!!!... So that old memories can be revisited.Making my memories last,each photograph is a story captured in a moment.These pictures were taken during my Air Deccan times... Those were the days!Flying high...

47kgs! Can you believe that>?? Neither can I....!Time definitely flies...As I write this, my present is becoming past, second after second....The Present is a point just passed!Time only seems to matter when its running out... Every second is slipping by....Matter of few days, I'll be year older..




Irony of life! Time flies, So where did it leave you? Old too soon, Smart too late!These pics are
all my possessions for a moment of time. Time doesnt change us, it unfolds us....
The bad news is TIMES FLIES! The good news is I am the Pilot!

Finally the day has come where my talent (ahem!)would be unleashed to the world... Am not much of a singer although i like to hum along my favourite tunes and also am a music buff..

FISH PEDICURE....!

Every busy person in stressful Singapore needs a place to relax themselves besides the comfort of home. In search of a convenient place to relax and abandon all stress, we need to relax and have a good laugh after a hard day's work using the simplest and cheapest way available.I had been contemplating on Fish pedicure for quite sometime now... Today was the day when I put my thoughts into actions!My hubby and I finally visited a fish farm to pamper ourselves ..Fabulous experience being "eaten" by the fish, and not to forget the 'affordable' price!



The fish nibbles away the dead skin leaving the feet soft and smooth!The fish consumes the affected and dead areas of skin.Scary in the beginning as all the fish swarmed at ,my feet like
like how an army would charge on the enemy in a war!Thousands of fish all over my feet!!!


Does it hurt?No. Since the fish don't have teeth, they can not puncture the skin, and because of that there is no pain. But, it does tickle quite a bit, but it's not uncomfortable just a tingling sensation!
A must try!

THE GIRLS DAY OUT.....










Hi,

First of all my anniversary pics am not there in many pics!!!! considering my love for pictures..a pure case of NARCISSISM!the photographer forgot it was MY DAY!!!! And am still fuming about it!
Anyway yesterday Manju left to India and i had a girls day out with my (best) friend(a filipino) .We went to IT show, saw all gadgets, ate all kinda food , got free massages,in massage chair, feet massage, eye massage(all free ) Then we got ourselves EAR-CANDLED!!!!
Ya they burn a candle in ear and that removes all impurities and toxins out of the ears! In office people call me deaf,which i am(left ear partially).Now i can hear even a pin drop!!!!!! CRYSTAL CLEAR!It worked wonders..
Anyway ear-candling takes about 15 min for both ears and then they show u how much toxins ooze out!!! Its a YUCKY scene but it fascinated me!Am not posting those pics..! AM definitely gonna do this monthly!! And only $12!! We even got hand parrafin done...It takes away the dead skin from hands and moisturises it!! WOW wat a great time we gals had...
ANd it gets even better,... We were window shopping (We walked for 5 hours up and down the suntec mall!! 5 HOURS!!)Thats when i saw the CURLERS~!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so so sooooooo bored of my hair style..Never had anythin else but the straight hair(mind you its natural!!! )I've always wanted to try something different,a make-over was what i needed! I had to buy it...
Am a CHRONIC SHOPOHOLIC . I SEE, I BUY ,I BUY MORE...... aNYWAY SO IGOT THIS LADY TO CURL MY HAIR AND WOW......i loved it!finally i can look different... I did buy it after some speculation... $150!!

Just now I had the most intriguing argument ever!
It started with discussing about my short term memory problems with my friend...We spoke about vampires,mermaids,hypnotism,and everything under the sun...Miracles and magic and scriptures...I cant remember the rest(See i told u.Memory problems..!)
Thats when we came up with this question...WHEN DOES A FETUS GET A SOUL??
My friend was of the opinion that it is said in the scriptures that after 4 months of conception!I had to argue on that!!ON WHAT BASIS???Why 4 months??
This is what we came up with ...
-----> The Soul moves in and out of the fetus right up until birth. After birth it is locked into the idea of the body until the death frees it from the idea of bondage .
----->Well it depends from religion to religion. Hindu's believe that the soul enters the womb at the time of baby showering (sreemantham)
----->In Islaam it is believed 90 days after conception, the soul enters the fetus.
------>When the heart has its first tick. From then on, the heart has to continue ticking; until death, when it stops doing so, for ever. Medical science is reported to be still researching for the 'cause' of the first movement of the heart.
------->the christians believe that the soul enters at the moment of conception.
-------->When the brain is formed

Well its like "What came first?Chicken or the egg???"Some questions just dont have answers....

if u have any views lemme kknow.
