<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Mornings are
beautiful. Perhaps that’s why we call them ‘Good Morning’. But not every
morning is always a good morning. A pimple is enough to turn an awesome morning
into an awful one. Pop it appears and everything else gets spoiled. Especially when
you have that important job interview or a dinner date, trust Murphy’s Law and
this face menace is always there to give your confidence a tough competition! Damn!
Why me? Why I don’t have a normal skin? Why do I have to constantly sleep with
the fear of an outbreak the next morning? Forget beautiful, even having a normal
clear pimple free skin is like a dream. If you too have oily skin that is prone
to breakouts like me, you would understand what I mean. My whole teenage years
were more of a constant fight with pimple problems than studies. The worse was when
everyone around me was more worried about my skin than me. Suddenly everyone
around me became a doctor and started advising me on how to tackle pimples. One would say go for facials, the other would
advice to go for natural products like multani mitti (Fuller’s earth). Some would
swear by the benefits of besan (chickpea flour) while some would say apply curd. Then there
were also patrons of papaya, lemon, tomato, cucumber and what not. Sometimes
looking at my plate I would rather want to put it on my face than in my mouth.
But that wasn’t all; there were some really crazy and embarrassing ones too. Like,
“perhaps your stomach is not clean, eat papaya every day”. As if my poop has
got to do with these pops. Hahaha. God! What days were those! For all the 9
months I would eagerly wait for the 3 months of winter, when everyone around me
would complain about itchy, dry, rough and flaky skin and I would be glad of my
oily skin, for a change. But that happiness was always short lived. Soon summers
would strike and my super shiny, super sticky skin would be back with pimples and
their marks. Shining with full glory to make me look ugly & gory! Gosh!
Even remembering about it makes me sink into a sad state of mind.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> But all this
was way before I got this amazing product introduced into my life- <b>Garnier Pure Active</b> range. I saw their
promotions on TV and print. But that wasn’t enough for me to get convinced. After
all everyone claims of giving you a pimple free skin but is having a pimple and
marks free skin really possible? So I wrote to their customer care with my
query. And it was really nice of them to revert back to me. Actually I wasn’t
expecting them to answer back. They also sent me one pocket booklet that
contained detailed information about skincare, explaining the various layers of
skin, how oily skin functions and the 4 magic steps to clear skin- Cleansing, Toning, Mosturising and Exfoliation. For the first time I got to understand not
just about my problem but my skin in detail and also understood on how to take
care of it. After all it isn’t as hard as it seems. I had to just replace my soap with Garnier Pure
Active face wash containing </span><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">real Neem Leaf and Tree Tea Oil extracts</span>,
exfoliate with the Pure Active Blackheads Uprooting scrub once a week and for
those sudden breakouts I have this magical Pure Pimple Control Pen that vanishes
my pimple like it was never there. <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Now I know what to do and what not to do with my skin. I have stopped worrying about my skin and started loving it. If you too want to fall in love with your skin

It was the year 2009. I was fresh out of college and was working in my first job as a reporter with a city based web portal. Though travel and lifestyle were my forte fleeting into the human interest stories every once in a while was always a welcoming change. On one such occasions while flipping through a local daily I came across a very small write up about an old age home run by two young men. Now what's so interesting about it? These guys , in their early twenties, were professionals working with well known MNCs. The old age home was an outcome of their passion towards social service that consumed almost all their off-work hours. Now that makes an interesting story, i though. A story that needs to be told to everyone. In the urban rat race where we often get engrossed in consumerism and self-consumption, the though of helping the needy and giving back to the society often remains, just a thought.So i asked my boss to allow me to cover this story and gladly he did. On reaching the old age home i met Parthasarathy. One of the founders. He was a young, energetic man. Quite jovial and friendly. We chatted for a while about their inception, the residents of the home, how he manages to run it on his own, what keeps him going and stuff like that.While he spoke, he kept doing his daily chores at the old age home like giving bath to the bedridden ones, feeding them, going to each one of them and inquiring about how their day. He also introduced me to the residents. I was amused to see how this young guy, just few years older to me, could posses so much compassion and care. When most of us cared about earning a good salary, achieving our dreams and scaling high on our social status, here was this guy who was giving a new leash of life to the ones abandoned by their own people. <br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
My meeting with Parthasarathy lasted for few hours but the incredible impression this guy left on me lasts till today. So much so that a person like me who is terrible at remembering names has till date not forgotten his pure Tamil name. So this X'mas when i was hunting for the poor and needy on the streets for sharing some homemade Christmas treats, my husband suggested a more organised way. Why not associate myself with an NGO? So the first thing that came to my mind was Parthasarathy. Like most of you, the changing phone syndrome has made me lose most of my old contacts. So i headed to the cyber space to get back in touch with him. Even after my repeated attempts and searching on almost all social and non-social sites I couldn't find Parthasarathy. Little did i know why. Dead men don't make their presence online. After changing my key words from Parthasarathy to Aarathy (His charitable trust) i could finally reach out to them, and then came the horrible news. Parthasarathy is no more. Horrible indeed. Whats's more horrible is to know that he was a murdered. And if that sends a chill down your spine then better i not reveal that he was married for barely 6 months and his wife was 4 months pregnant at the time. Ever since i came to know about him i can't get over this question. Why bad things happen to good people?<br />
<br />
More than expressions of my emotions through this post i would like you to know about this noble soul who is no more among us. The aim is simple: a tribute to this fantastic social servant i feel fortunate to come across. And if in case you are curious to know more about the trust this might help <a href="http://www.aarathy.org/about.html">http://www.aarathy.org/about.html</a> . This post doesn't intend you to send in your donations or help. But if you feel to do so, you can. There are many well known NGOs but NGOs like these that are run by individuals are the ones who need your help the most. The trust is now managed by Parthasarathy's friend Suriyakumar. </div>

creamy gravy are the tiny little pieces of whole spices. Totally submerged and
their flavours well incorporated. On topmost is a layer of pure desi ghee, revealing
the true royal self of the dish. And finally, a dash of décor with freshly
chopped coriander leaves. Wow! To accompany it is the long-grained basmati, eagerly
awaiting in the Borosil glass casserole kept next. Warmth and aroma well intact. Need I say more?

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Woman is certainly the most beautiful creation of God. Without
her the world would not have been so charming or rather there would have been no
world without her. She is like the solitaire of a golden ring whose presence
enhances the beauty of the ornament and without which the ornament is not worth
a wear. Whether it is the four walls of her home or the cubicle of a corporate giant,
she plays many roles in one single character of woman. Pick up any face from
the crowd and there you will find her- our 21<sup>st</sup> century working
woman. Like the one I come across everyday in the local train. Her charming accessories
can catch the fancy of any eye. Her sense of style can leave the fashionistas
far behind. She is flawless in her dusky skin. She is beautiful. She is unique.
She is just like my <i>Mia</i>. <a href="http://mia.tanishq.co.in/">http://mia.tanishq.co.in/</a></span></div>

worth any appreciation? Does that make her hard work less acknowledgeable? Doesn't her everyday interactions and persuasions with the customers amount her
to a working woman? She isn't fortunate like many of us in many aspects but she
is certainly one of us. She too has her own set of sacrifices. Her own share of
dreams and desires. Her own joys and sorrows. Her own work and her own way of
making her work beautiful. She is my <i>Mia Woman</i>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Few things are forever...the beauty of simplicity turns them into timeless masterpieces...one such beautiful creation from the past is this song...came across after a long time...while surfing through channels yesterday i got stuck in the channel that gets changed ever before its logo appears...but yesterday was a different story...as soon as i saw this one...i just could not skip...the unique association that i (and many of you too) share with this song brings alive my childhood <span style="background-color: white;">reminiscence</span><span style="background-color: white;">...there is a strange connection that we have developed with these Doordarshan archives...something that can not be expressed through words...anyways listen to this song and i hope you would enjoy this short journey back in time...and yes, i changed the channel as soon as this got over!!! ;)</span></span><br />

Full of uncertainties and doubts. With only single faith, in self. Not sure how the weather would be. Sometimes favorable, at times not so. Far away from the known surroundings. Far away from the protective atmosphere. Far away from the comforting laps. In search of its own identity. In search of its own destiny. In search of its own self. The road ahead will not be smooth. Here no one will lend a hand at times of fall. All will only stand and stare. Some will laugh too. But have to stand again and keep forging ahead with confidence only in, self. Here, will meet both friends and foes. Sometimes will witness both in the same. Have to accept both and move on.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

Lots to say but my body is not supporting me. This fever has taken a great toll on me but somewhere the writing ka keeda will never sit quite. The title track of one of my favourite movies 'Kal ho na ho' is playing in the background. A movie that brings me joy and gloom at the same time. I just love this song. It has got so much of depth into it. Isn't it? Kal Ho Na Ho...Who knows what tomorrow holds...Who knows whether tomorrow will come or not...Who knows you will be blessed with the same love and care or not...Just grab Today and never let it go...<i>People change with Time</i>- <b>True</b>...<i>Dimensions of relationships change with Time</i>- <b>True</b>...<i>Time decides, Time heals</i>- <b>True</b>...<i>We wait for the right time and it never comes-</i> <b>True</b>...Coz No time is the Right Time...Just grab the moment and make it your Right Time...Right Now...Coz Kal Ho Na Ho. </span></div><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Rocking!!! Sometimes I rocked life and sometimes ‘Life’ rocked me! Another year gone and a New Year awaits. But when I look back at the year 2011, I see moments turning into memories now. Just like all the years, this year too had its own share of ups and downs, joys and sorrows, challenges and changes, friendships and fantasies, lessons taught and learned, new friendships revealed and some old ones re-lived…and all this amidst loads of fun and frolic. Here are few things that I would like to remember 2011 for…..</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">The year started with a stylish makeover to the self with ‘straightening’, which eventually made mom keep a straight face with me for next few months. Now the only thing that remains straight is me and not my hair anymore, things are curling back to form. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">One regular inclusion in my list of New Year resolutions is ‘to lose weight’ and it has now become a ritual to include this every year just to break it and never follow. (I know Meenu you are gonna kill me for writing this here). But this time I will seriously follow it (I think so :P)</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">This year was also special as I saw most of my pals getting hooked (yaay!!! I am still safe and single</span> :D<span style="line-height: 115%;">). The year began with two of my best buddies Usha and Jith getting married (Happy tears!!!) and me ending the year as a proud ‘single’ defeating all my mom’s efforts to get me hooked (Happy tears again!!!). </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Single but steady. Oh yeah, finally able to stick to one place and profession. This year I completed my one year with Cedilla as a Copywriter. (Roses and applause follows…)Thank you…Thank you…!!! :D</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Also it’s been a year now that I am staying alone and away from my dad with my mom here. Feel more responsible and…. yes responsible too </span>:(</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">My Granny, who will forever remain in my childhood memories and bedtime stories, passed away this year leaving behind her inheritance with me. My curls and creativity are just some of them. </span>:)</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Talking about creativity (whatever little I possess), this year I went back to my long lost hobby of painting and finally made my first painting on canvas after a gap of 7 long years (the last one was in the year 2003). </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">God can’t be everywhere so He created Mothers. And Angels can’t be everywhere so He created Best Friends. Meenaxi & Ajay- My two best buddies in Chennai. The reason why I am still in love with myself and the city. Chennai is not special for its beauty, for me it’s the presence of beautiful people like you that makes Chennai so special and will always be (I know I have now left both of you curious to know about each other more) ;)</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">Meenaxi aka Meenu, I love you darling! I don’t know what to write here about you and I know it’s not needed. But this year could not be special without mentioning you, and I wish so does all the coming years of my life. Thanks for being there with me every time when I needed you, thanks for your scolding and suggestions and all the wonderful moments we witnessed this year together. </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">AJ aka Ajay, the Devil with an Angelic heart! And an alcoholic liver :P ok just kidding dude…you know how horrible you are anyways! You are the laziest and craziest bum on planet Earth!!! You are something like a ‘Limited Edition’, just one of a kind…and that makes you very special and myself lucky to posses this unique Angel! </span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> </span></span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="line-height: 115%;">And last but not the least, this year I managed to cut and share more slices of my life with you than the previous year as this year I have shared more posts than any other year so far. Cheers to you guys!</span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

छिपी है इनमें एक सुन्हेरे कल की आस<br />
<br />
जो पल बीता, वो बीत गया<br />
जो आयेगा वो होगा एक कल नया<br />
बीतें कल की यादों को तू भूल जा <br />
जो आज है तू उसे अपना<br />
<br />
क्या होगा और क्या नहीं, तू इस सोच मैं न पड़<br />
बढ़ा है जो हाथ तेरी और तू उसको पकड़ <br />
जो ज़ख़्म है तेरा वो भर जाएगा <br />
जो ना भी भरा तो भी क्या, एक दोस्त तो तुझे मिल ही जाएगा...<br />

The art of telling lies to persuade people. Yes I am a liar. Lying is my profession. Nope I am not very proud of my lies, but of my profession, yes very much. To succeed professionally I have to polish my art of lying and sound more appealing and attractive to fool others. Perhaps the day I get my increment, I would assume I have accomplished myself as a liar, convincing enough. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">We all have lied in our lives, either by the compulsion of the situation or compulsion of one’s nature or just for covering up some guilt or make someone happy saying a sole satisfactory statement to convince ourselves that “as long as my lies don’t harm anyone, it’s ok!”. But even this statement doesn’t apply here in my case. I know my lies might affect people. It might cause an incurable damage to them for a lifetime and make them feel so cheated and fooled. And I also know that I am as helpless as they themselves are. Still somewhere deep down inside I feel guilty. Guilty of my trade. Guilty of the fake </span><span style="font-size: small;">and empty </span><span style="font-size: small;">promises I make everyday. Guilty of that old retired middle class fellow who would buy that ‘Dream Home’ losing all his saving of a lifetime from that so not to be trusted builder based on the Fake Testimonials I wrote today! Guilty of that young professional for whom buying a home is certainly a dream cherished over the years come true. Oh yeah, btw that’s the reason of all this confession here!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Wrote 50 fake testimonials for a client as the real and truthful ones were all negative. Was too much of a sin for me in a single day, so am here for the <span class="st">reconciliation</span>. Guilty as charged!!! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

No more dark circles or fine lines!!! Guaranteed results!!! No more grays…only beautiful hair!!! Fragrance so alluring, even angels can’t resist it!!! </i>Phew…Advertising causes a sense of insecurity in the minds of the audience and then creates urgency to force the buyer to purchase those so called ‘life changing and miraculous” products in the name of “Smart Buyers”. Really funny!!! But can beauty really be bought? Beauty of the skin? May be yes. But beauty of the soul? Never. The amount of money, time and peace of mind we waste on our chase for that ‘flawless’ skin, ‘perfect’ body and ‘shining’ hair, not even an iota of the same we devote towards the thought of beautification of the soul. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ok leave it. I am not here to talk about whether these products deliver what they claim or whether we should purify the soul before the skin or whether advertising i.e. my bread and butter is a boon or bane to the society. I would rather talk about the perception of beauty and happiness that has been seeded within us for ages through Advertising. Or rather we have seeded it inside us.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is physical beauty equals to a happy and satisfied life? Most of you would say “No”. But then why are we so insecure about ourselves? We all know we are beautiful in our own ways then why do we chase after that screen image of beauty? We, the intelligent, educated, independent and yes, beautiful smart buyers! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A very good friend of mine once told me that it is her dark skin tone that she thinks is the reason behind her breakup. 6 months later I found her ex ditch the fairer girl too, for whom he had ditched my dark complexioned ‘beautiful’ friend. All my life I thought it is my fat self that keeps guys away from me. But then I see girls double and triple my size sporting handsome boyfriends. (ok here I might sound a lil desperate but just to make it clear, I am Not!!! :P) </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As they say beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, and yes colours and odors too. I say it’s all in your mind. And by ‘Beauty’, I don’t just mean women but men as well. Just coz Gillette says girls like clean shaved guys, it doesn’t mean you have to be clean shaved! Gillette never asked me my opinion!!! And my dear Axe, dunno about the angels but your smell just makes me run away than fall for you!!! Buddy Garnier, I have no desire of my man to be Light. L’oreal, darling puhlease stop bothering about my grays, I would love to age gracefully and flaunt those shades of aging. Sorry Fair & Lovely, I got this job coz of my skills and not for my skin tone!!! And all you slimming jellies , powders, creams and capsules, if someone has to love, he has to love me this way else I will tell him the very same word that I am gonna tell you….GET LOST!!! </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />
</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let your beauty free from the cage of the bottles and find its true glory in the eyes of its beholder. And let the beholder be ‘You’, coz only ‘You’ are worth it!</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br />

One such thing that I came across today was an elderly couple walking in front of me. Both seem to be returning back from work and yes very much in love with each other. While it is a very common site to see young couples walking hand in hand and laughing at each and every word of their conversation irrespective of it making any sense or not, when it comes to the little elderly ones the conversation mostly occurs without any verbal mode of communication and seldom it contains any display of affection whether public or private. But that wasn’t the case with this couple. They were enjoying each other’s company just like a teenager would do with his/her first love. Wow….it really feels good to see people still keeping their love in its freshest form even after having spent so many long years with each other. The only thing that I have for them is…God bless! </span></div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3252320728987867540.post-83220569412420472602011-12-01T03:56:00.000-08:002011-12-02T01:26:39.775-08:00SMUDGED!!!<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
