Snacking on fruit...!!!

Hey Salaam...

Last night while i was shopping with my cousins, i saw a Grape Stall... While passing by that stall, i just pulked up a grape and ate it without asking as if it was the most normal thing to do.... And i just kept walking by feeling i never did anything weird. And i actually had really FUN doing that.. coz i never had imagined i would do something like that. hehehehe.... Its not like i was shoplifting or something na... !!!! And i did the same thing with another grapes stall. hehehehe.. !! :-) I did it twice.. !!!!

I thought this was something really different or a weired thing to do and is it in the poor form to simply pick up the fruit displayed and eat it while your shopping.. !!! I felt a little guilty too, but never mind coz we bought some grapes after that.. !!! :-)

I found the whole thing very trashy.....!! :-)

So you guys have done something really funny or weired things .. tell me...!!!! :-)

First RAIN of the Season...!!!

Salaams to all...

Today I saw the first RAIN of the season.... Ahh.. it was an amazing... First it all started to become cloudy, and then it all started to become darker that too in the noon... Then there were very small small thunder storms , the sounds of which I liked.....
Then came a very strong and fast breeze. Strong cold winds were gusting much stronger than usual onshore BREEZE. Then it started to rain. Ahh.. I could feel the smell of the sand so much. Ahh.. you know how u get the feeling that the WET SAND smells soOoo great, highly flavoured and u wanna eat it. It happens to every other person I guess. Oh.! I love that sand so much, if only we could eat it .. :-) :-)

So I opened the main door and went out side my house and just stood by the corridor to check out the rain. Strong cold breeze... Sky looked a bit grey .. Sun seemed to be in a hurry to disappear…! It was so great ... Sometime these small small thing makes people so happy..! Also i always always always wanted to go and play in the rain.. I think its so FUN to play out in the rain... But i dint ... :-( I wanted to just run into the rain like anything. Its just that my parents were right there in the house, and i would have got nice scoldings....! But next time it rains, i am definitely gonna play in the rain for sure..!!!! ....!!


So u guys out there, do you like rain or have u ever played in the HEAVY RAIN....????.... ???

Coffee Blossom 2010...!!!!

Salaams....!

Date : 28-Mar-10

Time log : 08:00 am

I am finishing up trying to find all my stuff and things to pack, must leave in 1 hour.......

Final destination: The ESTATE....yay!

I am going to my DAD’s Plantation or we call it “The COFFEE ESTATE” with my cousins…! It’s the coffee season. It’s the perfect time when u get to see the blossom of a coffee flower..!

I am packing all my treasures, my video camera to document everything...to take you guys along with me!!!! I still don't know that I have everything we need and I always have that feeling that I am forgetting something...!

I'm going to have LOADS of FUN..…. YAY..!!!! and you're coming with me !!!... now let's go….!!!!

Time Logout : 8.15am…

So we were all dolled up and ready to go finally…! It was a one-hour journey from my place ( thank god! for that.. coz of the travelling sickness I have) Our’s was a FUN RIDE , with us having to play all the games , dumsharads , listening to music and all….! J

At around 10.15 we reached our ESTATE…

I'd like to welcome you all to --- Truly most amazing and the most beautiful place “The ABBEY Estate “…

While on our way to the plantation, we could smell this amazing fragrance of the beautiful white flowers..! Really these flowers have fabulous scents…The coffee plants have beautiful glossy, dark green leaves and the blossom is fragrant - very reminiscent of the gardenia scent. When in bloom it scents the neighborhood.

That was such a beautiful moment... When I was a child I used to go to the plantation and stay there for like days and I have never forgotten the smell of the coffee flowers! This always comes to my mind and I feel like a little girl again....!!! J

Beautiful!! Fabulous capture! Sensational & Cozy Atmosphere.. Absolutely my fav Flower...!!

We have other plantations in the area too… But mainly its Coffee.. I ADORE coffee..! For most of my life, I was fortunate to be able to drink coffee harvested at my family’s farm. As I write this post, I wanna have a cup of coffee…! J

After visiting the place the first thing we did was have our BREAKFAST coz we were dieing out of hunger. And ofcourse had a hot cup of coffee after that.

Then we take a tour to the coffee plantation. I realise I actually know nothing about coffee despite drinking vast quantities of it most mornings to kick start my system and as such I find the tour fascinating…. We took loads of photos too..! I mean we could go on taking snaps for ever, After all No trip is complete without it.… Hahaha….

J

And at Lunch we had this awesome "BIRYANI" and so YUMMY and mouth watering “ BAR-B-Que Chicken”….! Its makes me wanna have some right now… !!!!

So Delicious and so tasty Chicken we had...!!!

A small POND near the plantation and so cute DUCKS we have over there....!!!!

And the most funny part of the trip was that , when me and my cousins wanted to go n take some snaps near the plants, i was so excited that when i opened the car's door i just rolled down on the ground and fell on my back....! Hahaha... Dint get hurt though... :-)

I had such a funtastic day I will treasure this day forever! It was a very scenic, tasty and aroma-filled tour….!!!!

It is now after 2am, so much for trying to go to bed early... Now am gonna crawl into my sweet bed and take a dream vacation! Typed from the late-night blogger.....

Honored...?? Am i.... ??...!!

Salaam...

It was a Really Funny day ..! A really cool day for me..! I felt I was very joyful, so blessed and so overwhelmed.. Totally COOL…! :-)

Two days ago, I got a call from my cousin, who’s mother (my aunt ) runs a school , that there is a program in their school and she wants me to come.. It was kindda Prize distritubition..! All these kids had participated in a math competition and won the prizes.. Some had won National level and State level Medals too.. MashaAllaha.. So I thought why not.. and said yes..! She had also invited my other “Cousin M ” too...!

When I reached there, I got to know that me and my Cousin M will be distributing the prizes to the kids as a guest of honour.. I was like “ Really..! OK… Cool…”

So they took us to the Program hall with all the kids already being seated. Then there we were sitting on the deice being welcomed with FLOWERS AND GIFTS, referring to us as a “Chief GUEST” and “Engineer” and all the kids looking at us and smiling at us….haha..!! That was really Funny…!!

While I was sitting there I was feeling like rolling on the ground and laughing so much.! Literally..! I couldn’t control my laughter, so I held my hand on the mouth and laughed it out. I had to literally pinch myself to keep from laughing... :-) :-) I felt like what kindda gesture is this , and why am I here.. Am I really doing this and all. It was all SUPER COOL Feeling…!

It reminded me of my school days like how we used to get the prizes from the chief guests and all.. n here I was giving them myself… hahaha… I felt like I was being honored or something.. But then I thought what have I actually done that I was called up for this… Nothing really, it was only coz that was my Aunt’s school… But then again atleast I gotto do that…! Right … :-) :-)

After the “prize distribution thing” there came a point where they( the organizers) asked us to speak up a few words.. Well! We weren’t knowing they would ask us that , we weren’t prepared too. If I knew earlier I could ave come up with something.. for a movement I thought why not but then what if I panicked and din’t come up with anything.. So we ( me and my coz) said “ No.” .. And then one of the teacher came to our rescue and took over..

All these volunteers talking out our names and welcoming us and thanking us.. hahahaha.. I felt like I was for some "BIG EVENT" as a "Real CHIEF GUEST".. hahaha.. And I told myself “ THIS is SoOoo Going in MY BLOG… “ :-)

It was a great movement and a great experience for me.. I wount forget it for a long time ..

JAILED…..!

AsSalaamWalaikum.....

People.! People..! I wanna confess something today. Yeah.! Don’t be so shocked but I wanna say that - I WAS JAILED ONCE… Yup..! U read it RIGHT ..! I WAS JAILED.. But I wanna say technically it wasn’t a JAIL “Jail”… J It was just a teeny tiny version of one..!

It happened in my last year of grad school..

For our college fest, every year the volunteers install these various stalls , One of which was a JAIL. They make a small cabin with some bars attached and make it look like a jail. Its was on the college campus so that every passer-by can watch it.

So students could LOCK-UP any other student they wish to by paying some amount and the jailed person should stay in the jail for desired amount of time…!

So on my college fest I was sitting there with my class mates and all of a sudden a guy comes to me and says – Mam! U have been Jailed n U need to come with me.. I was like Excuse me..??? Come Again…. I am WHAT…??..?

Guy – Mam! Please… It’s a rule...

Me – That’s your problem.. Go deal with it..

One of my friends says – Cut him some slack, its just for fun and they do it every year..….

Me going on again – What.! No .. We R not gonna blow past this .. Just keep quite.. I know to deal with this..

Guy - Please …. U have to come … Please Please…

I don’t really remember what exactly he said to convince me but I remember saying “ Am gonna stop you right there , I am Just not coming with you…! I don’t like this CRAP.. Just Go... and Blah! Blah! Blah!“

Let me just say that I really confused him or he dint know how to convince me more so he left…! It was a really good conversation which went on for quite some time… J After he left I was like

“ Oh! My God! I really talked him out of this…! YAY..!! … “

But then, I felt really bad for him.. He was talking really polite and I was like Dead Furious...! He was just doing his JOB…!

And my friends were like u are so slient in the class and speak so less BUT when it comes to these things No Wonder u are like “ON FIRE”…! Hehehehe…! J I haven’t thought it through that much but when it comes to deal with these kindda situations , I can snap out of it easily.... J Even today when I think about this, I have a heartily laugh for the way I reacted… J GOD..! Guys if in the future, science catches up and there was a TIME-MACHINE, this would be definitely one of “those things” that I wanna redo… ! J J

Hey but the best part is I dint get to know who had actually JAILED ME ( What could I have possibly done… am just a sweet innocent girl…. J ) … I was so busy whining at that guy, I forgot to ask him .. ! J

BEAUTY-WISE......!!!!

Salaam....

Hey Guys as I had said in my last post that I’ll be posing some of the points which might be useful for you or that can help u out..! Here are a few pointers I think you might find useful or u might like it … I got these from the book…

Beauty - WISE…

Hello RED FOODS. BYE DARK SPOTS. Fruits and veggies that are naturally red are full of antioxidants that minimise skin pigmentation.

Drink a glass of vegetable juice everyday. It’s a great boost of vitamins and minerals that will leave your hair and skin with sheen u won’t miss.

Bring out those peepers: The area under the eye lacks natural moisture. It may lead to fine lines, early wrinkles and dark circles. You need a hyaluronic serum to keep it hydrated.

EAT CHOCOLATE. But the dark variety, and in moderation. The flavanoids may provide significant protection from the harmful effects of ultraviolet light. Rich chocolate could improve skin from within. Its the delicious skin care ingredient.

Your Lips need every bit of extra moisture they can get as they have no oil glands and natural moisture. Keep a tube of lip Care with u all the time.

HEALTH Wise…

First thing every morning, drink warm water with juice of half of lemon and honey mixed in. This helps get rid of the toxins in ur body.

Drink a lot of ice water, especially before a meal. This helps burn more calories-the body does that to maintain it’s internal temp, which drop due to the cold water.

Add spice to ur food with out adding the calories. Do this by sprinkling lemon juice and pepper on ur veggies

RUMOUR HAS IT….

Myth #1

You might have heard: You don’t need sunscreen in winter.

What you should know: You need sunscreen in every season. Sunscreen is used as a chemical sunblock.

Myth #2 : The longer you keep your Hair Oil on the Better it is for the hair.

Too much Oil makes your scalp greay. This translates to using a lot more shampoo to remove oil, which can actually result in increased hair fall…

Myth #3 : Regular use of Cucumber slices and wet teabags can reduce your under-eye bags.

These are only temporary solutions. Pigmentation and puffiness around ur eyes could be due to blood vessels in the lids.

I hope these tips/tricks help you to get the edge u need…

Howz that for BEAUTIFUL…???
