Life & Challenges

We have our shares of ups & downs in life. In life we meet people from different culture & backgrounds, we like some we dislike some.  It is not possible to please everyone all the time, some people may not get along well with us & we got to accept that.

I've met a lot of people in the last few years, people from different backgrounds, religion & countries. Even though we are different, there is one thing which is present in every indiviual i've met over the period of years. No matter how strong or straight forward a person is, even after claiming themselves to be strong & different from others - there is still some bit of emotion which breaks them and makes them a little helpless at times. I think "emotions" are something no1 can run away from.

In the past 3 months my life has changed completely - From the feeling of helplessness its switched to a feeling of awesomeness. Yes finally i've started working as a Social Media Executive & I am enjoying every bit of my work, feels like i am blessed,Alhamdulilah.

I think everything happens for a reason, we go through bad times which help us in our endeavors in life. Time heals everything, i guess i believe the same happened with me, I am now doing what i always wanted to do and things are fantastic!

The only thing i miss the most is college life & i guess those days will be the most cherished days of my life.

Right now the only plan is to learn & step up slowly, try to make myself better & perfect each day & take everyday as a challenge.

My new asset - Samsung Galaxy S3!

I couldn't help but write about it because i am jumping with joy. A lot of people have been asking me the reason of putting in so much money in a phone & calling it stupidity but i don't care. I think the phone is just soooo worth it! I have been wanting a good phone for sometime now and was saving money for the same since a few months. I'm so in love with the phone i bought and i don't regret the decision of choosing samsung over apple. I just can't afford Apple as yet, yeah someday!! For now, I think i'll just take care of my phone.. girls out there you don't need a boyfriend just go get a sexy phone like this it will keep you hooked onto it all the time! :D

My views on the Web 2.0

Its been quite sometime now since i've explored and met people from the social world or rather let me put it how some people call it "the virtual world". To be honest, the kind of people and exposure i've got is worth the risk taken to meet them.

A lot of people give that surprising or shocked look when a discussion about an online community or a group comes up. For some people meeting online friends  or  the people you interact with on the internet is rather weird and stupid but it has been the best experience ever for me.

It has not only helped me build great connections, make some of the most awesome friends ( male as well as female)  but also changed me over a period of time by building confidence in me and helping me think differently.

For me the web 2.0 is as good as real and i don't discriminate between the two. Yes ofcourse, every individual should be careful while interacting or  before meeting  an unknown person .I'd say give it time before you finally decide to meet your online friend. He/She may turn out to be your best friend or your worst nightmare. So be careful !


We are living in this digital age, wherein people spend more time interacting on social networking websites & micro blogging websites than they do on checking their emails. Majority of the youth today check their facebook when they get up and before they sleep.  Brands advertise and create pages & promote their brand through facebook. They also run contests and campaigns to engage the consumers on facebook.

Similarly, Twitter is one such place where even though you have 140 characters limit, you can just tweet unlimited, follow interesting people, build good connections, follow your favorite brands and get latest news for the same. For me twitter is a source of entertainment, networking & a place to get latest information (news). Since the time i have started using twitter i have been more updated on whats happening around in the world than i was earlier.

Brands now interact directly with the consumers on 1-1 basis, pay attention to their grievances and try to give them a solution at the earliest. I think this is the best way to know the exact happenings.

For example, I like how Vodafone on twitter is very instant & helpful. They make it a point to reply each and every consumer's query & also solve it for them at the earliest. They get in touch with the consumers and help them with their grievances. 

Well who knew someday consumers would be given so much importance & taken care of so aptly?

10 things girls discuss or do when they meet!

Inspired by a recent blog post I read somewhere I thought I might as well come up with something more interesting than the usual stuff I write. Boys for that matter are very eager to know what exactly do girls discuss when they meet that their conversations never seem to end. A friend of mine the other day said that girls only like to keep bitching about other girls and crib about their boyfriend. Instead of fighting or denying my friend’s statement I thought I might as well come up with a blog post about what girls really talk about when they meet up based on personal experience and a few borrowed statements from my girl friends ofcourse.

A few things that girls discuss & do when they meet : - 

1.       Clothes : Mostly if you’re one of those 95% girls who are obviously conscious about what they wear or keep checking out what others wear then you are bound to discuss clothes. Usually when a guy and a girl hangout together and if the boy seems pretty amazed if his girl is looking at another chick – boy she isn’t checking her out she’s probably just looking at the girls outfit and developing a feedback in her mind. Girls usually check out what other girls or their girlfriends are wearing if they like it they’ll give an honest opinion about it, if she doesn’t she will obviously give out her blunt opinions or atleast ridicule the opposite person’s dressing sense in her mind if not verbally!

2.       Shopping : Yes girls discuss about all the shopping they did since their last meeting and sometimes they might even carry the stuff they shopped for to show their girl friends.

3.       Boyfriends / Guys :  Girls usually discuss about their boyfriends. They discuss about what their boyfriends did, where they went with their boyfriend and what all he did for her.There is a constant comparison with each others boyfriends. Not only that, girls also discuss about their latest crushes, the cute guy they saw in the gym or at work and the number of guys who approached her and asked her out.

4.       Studies : Yep its not only shopping or guys that girls discuss about. Girls also discuss studies and share notes, etc . Sometimes they even end up studying together.

5.       Bitching : Yes, girls do bitch about other mean girls..specially the ones who are full of attitude.

6.       Facebook : Girls surf facebook and pictures of guys and girls and discuss what they think about the guy’s or girl’s pictures, etc.

7.       Click Pictures : Girls click about 100’s of pictures but only put a few of them on facebook because mostly the pictures are for memoriessss & not to be shared on a social networking website.

8.       Movie : When girls get together they watch movies. Specially movies like American Pie  or Sex & the city kinda movies..

9.       Eat : Yeah girls just keep eating anything and everything when they are together. They dun care if they will put on weight because they believe it’s a day off for them and they can eat as much as they want without worrying about the weight!

10.   Stay awake : Girls are super excited when they meet so they end up staying awake till 3 or 4 am in the morning and then they suddenly get exhausted and crash!!

Last but not the least girls do discuss about the 3 letter word smart enough people can understand the hint ;)  lol…

I think its enough for now & next time I think I should come up with a boy’s related post ;) ciao!

My Usual Chatterings

As we grow each day we are burdened with numerous responsibilities and tasks.  We get busy in a different world altogether where we have targets, goals, wants, needs & desires. Life changes slowly as you step towards the ladder of corporate world where you will find people who will become your best of friends and a few others who may want to always bring you down due to their own selfish desires to go ahead and achieve success. The best technique however to follow is to be equal to everyone and just concentrate on what you do and not what others do. If you start comparing yourself with others or complaining about others, believe me it isn’t going to do any good. 

I have recently started working for a Media & Entertainment Company – finally stepping up the corporate ladder, however I miss Ogilvy.  Life for sure changes once you start working – now I realise how difficult it becomes to balance the personal and work life. I always fought with my friends that they showed off and purposely kept saying they were too busy with work. Now I actually understood how difficult it is after stepping into the same shoes. Yeah I’ve to eagerly wait for the weekends to arrive lol!!

Last week I had the opportunity to witness the first TVC shoot of my life – it was for a giant electronic brand endorsed by Kareena Kapoor. Yess!! I met the Bebo of Bollywood who’s endorsing this new hair grooming / curling machine, the TVC for which is going on air in August. I have only one word for that lady “GORGEOUS”. I however unfortunately couldn’t get a chance to click a picture with her. Talking about celebrity well I did feel a pinch of attitude in her but then again after being so successful anyone would have a wee bit of attitude no? 

The Heroine Trailer has been released and to me it looked more like a copy of Fashion, Chameli & The Dirty Picture. What exactly the movie is about and how it is will only be known after watching it but so far the story seems pretty predictable and I  won’t be surprised if it actually turns out something like The Dirty Picture. Its Bollywood afterall!

Other than the usual stuff,  it’s the holy month of Ramadan and touch wood so far there was no problem fasting hoping the same for the rest of the month. Social life has been killed for a while, this month is only dedicated to the Almighty.

Life’s hectic yes it is!! For now its time to pack up  ;) ciao!

My Random thoughts

Sometimes its so hard to pen down your thoughts because even words aren’t enough to describe the way you feel.  Last 2 years were the most exhaustive years of my life and in a way I enjoyed every bit of it. Spending more than 12 hours in college and then working on presentations late nights is something which I am surely going to miss. Being that one girl in the guys group and then being burdened by the presentation work pressure (yeah happened a lot since guys don’t work they try to give excuses and then butter you up!) is surely going to be missed. Those class group outings, those Industrial tours, being punished, being thrown out of class … I’m surely going to miss college life and college friends.

Now that I have got some free time for myself I’ve been lazing around  and doing all sort of crazy and stupid things… from nothing to everything. I guess sometimes a vacation really brings you back to life but I guess its time now to end this vacation and start doing something more useful and productive which is going to help me out, so yes time to fix myself up and get going!

I finally joined Pinterest and love how I can see the exalted talent filled in people, I wish I was as talented as some of the photographers and creative people I see on and around the Internet ( FB, Twitter, Pinterest, etc)  

I remember I had made a blog post a few months back about Facebook vs Google + , I still stick by my opinion and even noticed responses of people supporting the same. Google +  hasn’t been able to catch up and compete Facebook but one thing I’ve realised over the time and my existence on the web 2.0 that Twitter for sure has become quite famous and has generated quite a lot of fans. A lot of my friends who joined twitter recently have totally  got themselves addicted to it and I guess they visit twitter more often than they visit Facebook these days. 

But Facebook and Twitter are on different levels I suppose and they’re going to be that way, currently my favourite “Twitter” !

That’s all for now!

The Cooking Mood

Its kinda weird how i always felt so lazy at the thought of cooking something. All i knew was making tea and a scrambled egg or an omlet, last but not the least rotis.

These days my kitchen has become a favourite and so has cooking. I've been trying out new recipe's to kill the idle time, yeah am currently unemployed ..grrrr i so hate it. So to kill the lots of free and idle time that i have right now i decided to try my hand at cooking for a change and let others eat for that matter.

So i tried a few cakes and I also bumped into Pinterest omg!!! i didn't know i could get awesome recipes out there :P so now i think am going to be baking more often.

Apart from baking i've also been making stuff like cheese corn samosas, chicken & corn fritters & chicken bread, next i think i'm going to try  chinese too.

Lets see how long am going to stick onto this cooking habit ;)
Hehe ... will post soon with pics next time ciao!
