Gypsy Soul To Blame

Very little did I know that this would happen so quickly. Since the month of September 2015  I have been doing all sort of market research and surveys to buy a second hand car (  was badly looking for a lucky deal ).  I had spread the word with some friends who I thought could be of help. But somehow things never moved in the way until that day.  Like they say ,   “ When its right its RIGHT” One cold morning ,on the by-lanes where I  used to go for a jog, I came across this vehicle with a sign board saying For sale : contact  9321429007 .I vividly remember that instant , it was 7.15 AM and I dialed this number to try my luck. The phone was ringing on the other side but nobody seemed to answer the call.  I was just about to hang up ( feeling disappointed) and the phone was answered. I asked the receiver all sort of questions a FIRST CAR BUYER would want to know on that call itself. I told him my budget and he was reluc...

I happen to see this movie Talvar on 6 th October 2015. I went for it with a feedback from a friend. But contrary to my perception and his review, this movie impressed me to a greater extent. After a long time, I saw a influential movie like this. The movie is a perfect example of a brilliant artefact, extremely riveting screen play and flawless direction. I would not like to talk about the movie but rather about the inferences I drew from the movie. I saw the movie the way it was intended to ( like a dramatic imagery ) and it put me in an unusual thinking mode or rather disturbed me.  Talking about the case of Arushi Talwar , it was a double homicide case . It brought a plethora of questions to my mind about everything that keeps happening around us. The cost being paid by a family and its cruel suffering due to sheer system negligence giving it a name of honor killing. It raises many doubts about the credibility of the system which is the ultim...

It does not come as a surprise that how in India women have jobs and not careers. When I am saying this, exceptions are everywhere. I am writing this not to bring out an argument as to why some women ( We) do not work after marriage or after becoming mothers, rather to brush up our minds as to why we should work. We should work for our Parents…. Just like parents have dreams to see their son make it big and bring the world to them someday, so do they have for their daughters. We should work because that is what we are taught to since the age our parents sent us to schools. Our parents wanted their daughters to be well educated, financially independent, socially- active and build a name for themselves and their family in the best possible way. We are the proud face of our parents not because of whom we are married to; but because of WHO we are... Hence we should work for the ones who brought us to this place. We should work for Ourselves…. We should work because we hav...

All of us knowingly or unknowingly do a lot of networking in our day today lives . N etworking is based on the premise that we humans need each other . It helps in building long lasting relationships and also to use our existing skills in a focused way. Here is a list of “Dos” and  “Don’ts” for networking the right way so that it is effective and productive. Dos :    Be Positive , it rubs on others and often acts as a magnet for folks around.   Be passionate , enthusiastic and objective but not emotional and subjective.    Seek feedback and criticism , it is the most valuable market research one can obtain and its totally free.    Always follow-up everything that you will say you will do however small the suggestion may be.    Say “ Thank-you ” to people whenever the opportunity arises – especially to people who get taken for granted a lot.    Understand what empathy means and bring it to pra...

F or quite some days I have been looking out for a reason to blog again . A perfectly planned trip like this just beckoned my way. Since the day the flights got booked I had made a mental note of several pre- travel – travel and post travel activities lined up for me. To gather people and to zero down to a place is not only a tedious task but also demands thorough research which was well derived by one of our fellow backpacker. We had a self- planned and pre-decided itinerary to travel  to Sri Lanka. We had short listed 4 places to travel trying to keep it short , simple yet exciting . “   There is more to you than meeting expectations, deadlines , seemingly endless web of activities or the  dull monotonous routine “ We started off with Kandy ;  Travelled along Nuwara Eliya ; Bentota and concluded at Colombo . Day 1 : Kandy , Not a place for flash packers : Very frankly  , when I landed here , I had an assumption that t...

Be it a huge reception of a top notch corporate conglomerate or an entrance lobby of a grande hotel or be it a double height ceiling corridor or the meeting rooms for discussing the corpolitics , one just cant avoid by passing this feature of an interior fit out . I am talking about the fitment which illuminates the entire space and adds an exquisite beauty , elegance and aura to the work space or home space . Lighting is a very important element of the occupier space design .It changes the mood as the perceived area of the room .Its placement and type are the fundamental aspects and work in conjunction with color selection , room size and day light availability.  I happen to work on a project for the first time where in almost 14 different types of light fittings are used in a not so large area of 35000 sft ( Ground +2) Some of the unusual and decorative fittings have made their way to this post . My idea of this post is to take you all on a picturesque ride of the v...

  Namastey!! I am a free spirited , energy ball and a total desi person at heart .I always had this flair toward knowing and exploring people , culture , fashion , music , their way of living etc .The joy of collecting and fusing them together just as a hobby made me feel on the top of the world . I love travelling and the fact that in my family I am the only person who has traveled many places in India explains pretty much .Though I am yet to explore the other parts of the continent ,I am sure this blog will allow me to explore / express various sides of my personality at RANDOM . I enjoy myself trying and experimenting new things and I find it easy to adapt to any circumstance . I have varied interest like music , sports , fitness , writing (like sort-of) , getting clicked , styling ( mostly with the accessories) , street hogging , ideas of innovation, construction designs, interiors ,home decor ,SMART machines , glamour with a desi touch etc.  My daily routine ...
