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??

Que sera sera

One of my favorite Spanish Quotes 'Que Sera Sera' means 'what will be, will be'. This quote is so true. I may sound a bit philosophical but wanted to write this for quite some time now. There is a lot being said about being positive, dreaming and attracting what one wants,about not being broken on not getting what one wants. So many books are being sold on such topics and no doubts they make sense. Out of experience, I have realized that the base behind every advice is that what has to happen, will happen. One can't stop it. But one needs to accept what has happened and act accordingly. When a book talks about attracting what you want (say a bungalow), one can't just sit and keep dreaming. Actions need to be according to the intended goal. In achieving the said goal, we are sure to encounter a lot of obstacles. Beauty lies in facing them and planning the next steps. The world is actually a classroom, with each one being your peer and life is a very tough t...

Power cut 'Memories'

I remember my childhood when in summers there was a specific time and duration for what we call 'power cut' in late evening. And that was time we all used to wait for. Our parents made sure we completed our homework by then, all their house hold work completed. When the moment came, lights went off everywhere. And an uproar of 'light gayiiiiii' was heard across. All the kids were out on the street. The only lights were candles at home, oil lit lamps at temples, moon and star shine. Hide and seek was best played like this. All the ladies used to gather and gossip, men used to discuss politics or office. Balconies and streets were filled with people. Everyone knew everyone. Teenage gangs played Antakshari and most of the time it was boys v/s girls version. If one was slightly more knowledgeable and wanted to show off, planets, stars, bikes were discussed. There were some days when we didn't go to play, but used to sit with mom dad and granny and listen to a story or...

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...
