Indibloggers pampered with Love and Dove.

After about month of the event, today I sat down and insisted on writing a post about the first bloggers meet I attended. ;) The Indiblogger meet, sponsored by Dove. It happened when I paused on a mail received from IndiBlogger, which said about a blogger meet in Mumbai and that too a women’s blogger meet. Excited I was, as I eagerly waited for such a meet. Further browsing revealed some agendas prepared by Indiblogger offering a free pampering session by Dove. The word pampering had already made me happy and the word Free brought a smile to my face. I decided to go there, come what may.

Before the event, I started visiting Indi blogger, just to make sure about the reality of the event.. ;) (I still didn’t believe they could be organising such a big event without paying a penny). During the same, read the comment section and found about people coming from Navi-Mumbai, was too much more excited as I found good company on the way to the meet. Some gorgeous women I met, who were amazing in their profession and yet so elegant and matured.

Laxmi - The all rounder (Perfect Balance of all)
Purnima - The young, bindas lady (love the way she talks... Just like a college girl)
Vibha - The Twitter tatter (I somewhere feel she was the bird in her last birth)
Preeti - The silent Punjabi (How often do you see a Punjabi so calm and sweet)
Anuradha - The charming one (I still don’t believe she’s married...until I see her husband)

This was the Navi-mumbai gang, but apart from them, I met many such bunches of lovable strangers, coming from different profession and writing interesting blogs. Some of them were, the sweet looking Aaeshiana aka Ash, the kwel one Neha, the graceful Hazel, the cutie pie and youngest of all harini and many others. The session started with a welcome drink having a mint flavour (with the pudina toppings sticking to our tooth :P), it was followed by foot massage (during which many feel asleep). Then there was an intro session which I thought was so nicely arranged, giving everyone a chance to tell others about their blogs. In the middle of all this, the Indibloger team, kept entertaining us with funny and funky games. We had a lavish lunch followed by sweet tasty deserts. Then there was this autograph session, wherein other bloggers came and made their personal signatures on your chart (Again that was a blog booster for me..Inspired a lot to write). The last session was the hair massage given to me by disha, that girl had a good dedication to her work. After the hair wash came the blow dry, I stopped the guy, coz I realized I wasn’t the lucky ones with straight hair. Mine was a good mix of noodles, which could be destroyed by blowing with the dryer. So the stylist twisted my hair to form more curls which I loved. As far smoothness is concerned, I give thumps up for Dove to make such a beautiful range of products. The event ended with all the gorgeous women looking more gorgeous after all the pampering and styling. We all got hampers by dove and a lovely white t-shirt.

I was glad that I made it to the event, and after watching so many blogger's there, got inspired to continue with the scribbles of my stupid and random impressions. All thanks to Indiblogger and Dove for making this event so beautiful and awesome, waiting for another fun filled meet. This blogging adda for me has now become a place where I can put down all the attacking thoughts of mine and a community like Indiblogger has put up a platform to find many more scribblers. I would like to end my post with the tagline by IndiBlogger which defines it all for bloggers;

We blog, therefore We are. :)

Legends !!

Jagjit Singh, the greatest gahzal singers and undoubtedly named the king of gahzals, Jagjit Singh. I never have been the type of listening to such music genre. But I remember the day when Sarfarosh was released, and there was this song which would come on Tv, "hosh walaon ko kahbar kya". My sis used to listen it and love it, and I always tried to take the remote and change the channel. Once during the same, she managed to keep away the remote with herself forcing me to listen to this track, and that was first when I loved the beauty of the song and its lyrics. It was a mesmerizing and soothing experience. He truly did made every one enjoy the beauty of romance with his contemporary musical nodes and lyrics.

Now, when he’s dead, it seems like the era of ghazal music has come to an end, but the music he created will always remain in hearts of people who loved them, Me too. If you know jagjit singh..then for sure like all this song "hosh walon ko khabar kya" will be your favorite one. But my personal favorite track is.."Koi Faryiaad" from Tum bin. Initially I didn’t like it, but when I heard it completely, I just kept listening (special mention to Divya Nair for making me love this one). Jagjit Singh, Respect for such a legend. Here I dedicate, my favorite track. Hope you guyz like it too.

Koyi fariyaad tere dil mein dabi ho jaise

Tune aankhon se koyi baat kahi ho jaise

Jaagte jaagte ek umr kati ho jaise

Jaan baaki baaki hai magar saas ruki ho jaise

Steve Jobs, the greatest visionaries as they describe him. If anyone can learn from him, then they can surely learn to live, live life of a legend. I loved the man, as an entrepreneur, one of the coolest guyz with the symbolic turtle neck black t-shirt and blue jeans. The stage presence and presentations of jobs will always be an inspiration for many. I feel proud to have at least felt apple products...close enough..(still trying to get that Airbook someday, lucky to feel that once) and own some apple somehow (thanks kiddo). Kuddos to Steve jobs for making a beautiful software and hardware so acceptable and not to forget the word desirable ;).

Being the most influential guy for the world, he never wanted people to be like him or to be a duplicate of "Steve jobs", what he wanted was to be you, with a passion in your mind. Sad to feel he’s no more, but I think what an incredible sense of achievement he would have felt when he was looking back at life breathing his last and that’s what I want in my life too.. ;) :) there are many inspirational things this legend has said and done to prove the world, that there is a way out of everything everywhere. Respect for a great legend and his great legacy. Here I dedicate my personal favorite lines by Jobs.

"Being the richest man in the cemetery doesn’t matter to me. Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful… that’s what matters to me"

A Run Away !!

A run away...ahhh..I love dis post...actually this is what's being throgh all my mind dese days. I think once ina while we all come to this stage of our life, were we just want to pack the bags an leave from the usual world around us...leave alone and fly down somewhere else...and wish that it could be better than this existing cosmos....!!!

I came in Mumbai when i was 10, my dad got a transfer here and before we could move into the company guest house..we first got in to my papas friend's house. I remember it was a large house..with good soft sofa cushions....and white tall curtains floating in air. I went across those curtains and saw a vast sea right in front of the house (after 2 years i got the name, it was juhu beach)..that breeze which embraced me as if welcoming me here... that's when i felt...yeah..!! this place is going to be awsum !!!!!

I regret that it is not the same anymore, may be a lot has changed in these 12 years of my life in here or may be this city has changed in these 12 years. Of late i m finding my self stuck in here....the crowd which i once loved, is now just taking the air out of me... !!! wondering if this city is all i blame on or is it the people around me the reason for it. Filth all over..rudeness and agony I see, all this make me say just one thing....a run away is what you need !!!

May be when life gets you tough -- you only think of the easy way out and that what m doing...cozz sometimes thats all what you can do.

yeahh...!!! that seems to be the harsh truth, fighting hard enough, being directionless, you try to find a solution but you fail and then u blame the people and the city for it..!! and u just want to go away from them.. But then i thought may be there's a reason for it in here. I m a bit spiritual in the sense that i keep taking to skies at times and then designing the clouds to somewhat like gods face (my imagination of things is beyond limits) and I start believing in them and communicating with them. I always have found some reason to whatever happenings in my life, here i remember Steve job lines.. "Connecting the dots" (I loved dat man !!!).. So i realized may be somewhere up in life..these dots have a connection, and by running away I m messing with the beautiful picture he wants to create for me !!!! Hes making me go through all this with an intention to make me look more like him and less like me ;) :)

As I write this post sitting in my balcony, i look up at the skies and somehow..they are forming a smiling smiley and i feel what better way can there be to end this post..May be I need to look at good things of life..and this city. Instead of a run away, this should be a start. So I hope its getting started now !!! :) :)
