The ladies rest room

Go to any part of the world, you won't find a more interesting place than a ladies rest room. Well...we women have such a power that we can make any place interesting!
So you may ask what's so interesting about it? Let me try writing this. But its something one should experience ;)



The first thing you see when you enter a ladies rest room is a number of mirrors and a good lighting. Every morning you will find beauties silently talking to these mirrors 'Mirror mirror on the wall.....'
You don't need to go to fashion week.. various poses and all sort of cosmetics can be found. Believe me...a ladies bag is no less than a Pandora's box.




It is also a place which is at par with 'Page 3'. You will get to hear so many stories. Right from changing the diaper to weird topic like can pasta be mixed with sambar to make a frozen version of it!! (I'm indeed exaggerating).

There is one 'know-it-all' in this group who will start all her sentences with 'No! its like you know.....'. Then there are few who use the loo to continue their online shopping or their talk with their boy friends.

A few sob stories of how this lady came to office everyday after cooking for her whole family and how her in-laws still expect a lot, adds to the drama.
Also found are common sob stories on weight gain, managing a baby, managing husband (Yes gentle men..you are discussed and a number of suggestions do pour in)

There will be a few 'Style icons' who have all the suggestions for growing long hair, quick solutions to keep fingers beautiful, tips on loosing weight (I actually got to know that banana pulp mixed with lemon can prevent split ends by eves-dropping on one such conversation).

Then you will find a set of not so happening ladies (like me), who reach office like zombies use the rest room to freshen up, apply a quick line of kohl and dap on bit of talcum, try to multi-task even here by eves-dropping on others' conversation, say a quick 'bye' and move on to work. (you can ignore this category if you are not interested in looking at the zombie look)

Come Friday.. you will witness a bunch of gals giggling and getting ready for lunch or dinner . (you will find them at any point of time in the day!). Pimples, clear skin, acne are a common worry for this young group apart from discussing dress and boys.

Finally the fragrance...imagine flowery mixed with citric mixed with wild mixed with talcum mixed with 'phenol' mixed with 'chlorine' mixed with 'domex' mixed with........................ (I know I made it sound YUCK!! but its not as bad)

So ladies... if you need a short break and do want a change, rush to the nearest washroom (in office of course) and watch the live streaming!!

Guyz.....so what happens in the men's rest room?? Is it so happening??

Strategic marketing - Lessons from a Bhelpuri wala

Most of the time while getting back home I join a friend of mine who drops me at a metro station. In my second or third visit itself I noticed a bhelpuri wala. This man is not like other local market tapri wala. He was clean and seemed well organized.  He had 4 plastic covers, each containing onion , tomato, coriander and green chillies (all uncut). Highlight were the fresh lemons. He had papers folded like cones. A box with masala and a cover with loads of mixture. Like any office goer returning home, I too was slightly hungry for some munching. What better than bhel. I liked the way he customized my bhel by checking for the quantity of chilly and lemon. I liked it so much that I got one more for my sis. Thus began the love for bhel. One day it so happened that my husband was about to pick me up and I was waiting just next to the same bhel guy. I was an observer that day. In a span of 20 mins this guy served around 8 customers.  Interesting! I began talking to him(shhh...it was me

Book Review- The Sialkot Saga by Ashwin Sanghi

When one of the best authors churns out his thoughts where fiction is mixed with history and also has a philosophical angle, we get a book which is an absolute page Turner! Again I will go by the attributes my review would be based on: Language: Impeccable is the word. Story and Pace: It's like a watching a movie where you can't wait for the suspense to unfold. You feel what the characters feel. Emotions, courage, power everything is demonstrated beautifully. There was one point I was questioning the need for exploring Hastinapur angle, but in the end I did get my answer. Pace of the story rarely slows down. One gets to witness various events, starting from India's Independence to the Mumbai attack. Political angle given to characters gives an opportunity to the readers to have a glimpse of India's political change, right from Indira Gandhi's time to Modi's. It is indeed a point to think on how GK(bookish one) can rather be taught in a story fo

I AM- Proud to be a woman

I have been in existence, Forever and ever. I have seen it all, I'm unstoppable like a river. I know what happiness is, And I know what is misery. I'm not the one to fall, I can unravel life's mystery. I'm the petite girl, You would want to hold. Watch it! Hurt me, You will see my side untold. I can make you smile, And I can cry with you. I'm like the sunshine, And I'm like the dew. I'm the Kali, Oh so fierce. I'm also the calm Sita, Whom you revere. I'm the one about whom, A lot is said and written. Praise me or Criticize me, I am Proud to be a WOMAN!!! Regards, Srilekh
