after effects of romantic novels...!!

mills and boons...silhouette.. danielle steele.. nora robets...julie garwood etc. etc...!
after reading a beautiful written romantic book..the feelings invoked ranges from pure bliss...till lustful.. till dreamy eyed and so on... the power of a gr8 written words can move u to tears and actually makes u dream abt ur would-be guy..!!
@ times, the whole fantasising abt mr right.. who will sweep u away is contorted to suit indian sentiments ( my personal feeling)..
oh i am dying to meet my prince charming.. have a super hot torrid romance and then settle down with him..
whts the harm in dreaming ? right??
in some books.. the love making scenes are written soooo brilliantly tht it can give GOOD goosebumps and make u hot under the collar ( no pun intended ;) )..!!
more to follow soon..

Farmville.....!!!

One fine day on facebook (FB)..i found ppl sharing pics of their farms.! i was wondering wht is it all about?? then, i saw every one in my hostel logged in to farmville and sending me neighbour requests.. after royally ignoring them ALL.. i fell prey to it..!! yes, i succumbed to the pressure of joining the millions who play this farming game..!! this was all thanks to the irritating talks between my mom and sis..!! " hey, iam growing wheat today wht abt u?? ".."mom.. plz harvest my farm.. and buy me a tractor etc"..!!

my farm was up and running in no time thanks to the accumulated gifts sent by my well wishers!! ;).. i enjoyed ploughing, seeding, harvesting , plucking and milking !! ;)
As my farm grew bigger..it started consuming more time to manually click and plough/seed/harvest. Also. the need to beautify the farm was a challenging task...! to facilitate better mgmt.. i bought a seeder tractor and harvester..
every morning i used to think..oh my carrots have grown.. my trees must have bloomed..lols..
it can give u a depression if u aint able to access d net @ the stipulated time.. ;) or else ur crops will wither away..leaving with u with huge losses..!!

Farmville was truly a pathbreaking game wherein one had to strategize his/her moves so that maximum rsults could be obtained..and the level increases..!!
however..i bid adieu to this wonderful game because of my relatives quitting it FINALLY and iam bored to beg for more easter egss, gold etc.....
plz suggest more topics to blog upon !!
regards

harmandar sahib @ amritsar..

just visited harmandar sahib ( d golden temple) in amritsar.!
I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking to connect with oneself and god ! no need of venturing in the wilds.. near d sea shore etc. u just need one trip to amritsar.. the place will give u ample opportunity to explore ur food fetish.. experience spirutiality @ its best and shopping to ur heart's content..
the temple is hugeeee and consists of 28 buildings in its premises.. the design of the complex is square in size and every corner as a water serving facility wherein the kar sevaks ( explained later) serve water in small plates.. the water is of high quality and u shall forget the taste of mineral water.!
the main temple is situated in the middle of a lake which is called as amrit sarovar (pool of nectar).. a dip in this water is considered very auspicious.! surprisingly, there is too much shanti here which is bang in middle of chaos called amritsar..
the temple reflects sunlight brilliantly and its treat to view it. after a entire parikma of the complex , I stood in the line of darshan. after an hr i got my chance to pay obeisance to the revered 11th guru of sikhs, the guru granth sahib !
there was no pushing and shoving inside the sanctum sanctorum.. unlike tirupati balaji and other temples , it was a peaceful connect wit GOD.. u could pay ur respects according to ur heart's content..
there was a team of singers and devotees who were sitting next to the holy book and singing their devotional songs ( am sorry i dunno wht is it is called.. :( )
the ceiling of the sanctum sanctorum has a huge chandelier.. and the roof is painted richly..
i step out of it with tears in my eyes... i had d most beautiful darshan and amazing experience! a sip of amrit from the sarovar completed the ritual..!!!
in evening one could just sit near the sarovar and loose oneself in time.!!
It is unimaginable that Indira gandhi could execute operation blue star in this pious place. the seat of sikhism..!! the kar seva ( wherein u voluntarily do work for god) imbibed in people there touched my heart strings.. LANGAR serves more than 1 lakh people a day.. and has 2 chapatti makign machines.. which roll and bake the chappatis.. amazing service done to god's men by kar sevaks..probably sikhs are the only people who actually follow their religion to the T.. whereas other people just speak abt it...
one more thing.. every person..whether male or female.. whether kid or adult.. has to have their head covered.. my dupatta slipped for a second and i had 3 persons adomonishing me for it.. !

after darshan, we had food @ the famed kesar dhaba.. the food was ok.. had high expections.. but only d gulab jamun lived up to it... the amritsari kulcha is worth dying for .. so crisp and baked to perfection...
kulcha land opposite MK international hotel is highly recommended...super sexad food..
will always cherish this trip to amritsar.. where one indulged in lassi @ ahujas.. fruit cream in lawrence road.. shopping of papad and wariyan.. punjabi jhuttis and salwar kameezes.. and yes trip to the wagah border.. the feeling of patriotism was immense ..!! seeing the no man's land and pakistan's border and land.. was WOW..!!

Why are healthy people shunned for wht they r??

22 years of my life.. till date has been a harrowing experience on one front..! issues regarding my weight! relatives, family and (thankfully only few) frds say " oh, the bangalore water has suited u so well", "why r u so lazy?" " my my.. u have grown couple of inches etc"..!!
the icing on the cake being i get lots of gyaan even from strangers and ppl who dont even make a damn diference to me...
earlier.. i used to feel pity on myself because of my genes am fat and healthy . i was totally convinced i was a no-gooder for sure.. thankfully, my inferiority complex hit a low ebb when i shifted base to bangalore.. the vicious complex now rears its ugly head at times and usually when i have INTENSE discussions abt my SUPERBLY OBESE issue with my family..
After viewing the serial "MAHI WAY" on sony tv, i can relate my plight to the protagonist and i hope against hope that people realise how bad a healthy person feels when poked fun @ always..
I believe.. healthy/obese people are the most jovial persons to know and the never-say-die spirit is imbibed in them in huge quantities.!
So what, we dont find clothes our size @ normal stores.. so what our dressing is restricted to indian.. so what,we struggle to be fit, so what, we are poked fun @.. etc..
At the end of the day.. I am proud of what iam ! have learnt the technique of ek kan se suno and dusre se nikaldo..n
this blog is purely written because i wanted to vent out my feelings ! whts better than writing a blog abt it??
no more words following from my fat brain lols...
more to follow...
