Make your Life Happening with Song & Dance

In our busy life sometimes we are so messed up with our work that we just missed how to live life. Even sometimes our group outings are so monotonous even the outings which are supposed to be exciting and full of energy. I remember The month of February 2015 when we went to Alibaug for a office party on a weekend.Our booking were at a resort and we choosed to take the ferry from Gateway of India. Our One hour fifteen minutes journey in the ferry was about seeing the ships and Tajmahal Hotel and Gateway of India. But somehow we were in the official working mode. It was a dull journey with some good scenery. After reaching our reasorts we were tired and dull as hell, after the customary drinks and refreshment we assemble at the lobby. Some of us thought if this is a outing for refreshment and rejuvenation ? Than we discussed for the days proceeding whether to go to a beach, or stay at the resorts ? Play some game or have our beer ? Our discussion was going nowhere !!! And finally we decided to have our lunch.  After our lunch my friend stuck upon a poster at the hotel lobby. It was an event Nariyal Paani which was all about music and dance. The combination of beach with music and dance kind of created a sensation in our mind. In our mind we all decided to enjoy the evening. It cheered us up and we enjoyed the evening to the fullest. There were some great music and dance to make us live, laugh and enjoy. I guess sometimes music and dance do the wonder. It refreshes our senses and let us live life as it should be.

Now coming to the present time you must be knowing these two persons definitely. One is a singing sensation with a penchant for style and another is an actor whose expression and looks are just killer. Although you cant understand the language he is speaking, but his powerful acting will leave a impression on you.

I watched a movie in my college days, It was a Telugu movie and I dont understand a single word of Telugu except Chepu (speak) but the movie was so powerful I watched it several times. The movie was Arya and the Actor was the Superstar Allu Arjun who happen to be a great dancer, In films like Arya 2 he has left a mark.

I am sure you all must be listening to the "Bezubaan Phir Se" from the film  ABCD 2 staring Varun Dhawan, Shraddha Kapoor. Dont you dance to its tune ? This amazing mesmerizing song is sung by non other than Anushka Manchanda.

Just imagine when Allu Arjun’s sensational moves and Anushka Manchanda’s magical voice come together what will happen ? It will be pure pleasure to the senses, the ears n eyes. Also I am sure one cant stop to rhyme with Anushka and tap to the moves along with Arjun. I am really looking forward to such an wonderful event. And I wish in our Outings they were with us.

Nose Knows It.

While travelling in Mumbai Locals its very common to experience the stuff related to bad odour, where basically everyone's body odour put everyone off the other person, besides there is the Bandra drainage and Mahim stations early morning smell which ‘My Nose Knows’ very very well.
ImaGE COURTESY http://grabhouse.com/


 But some incidents are hard to forget where you are at the losing end.
One such incident happened to me, It was Summer at its best and the scorching heat can only be experienced not described.And this was the date at my to be in-laws who have finally agreed to meet us after one  and half year of persuasion. The event is kind of interview for both of us where my side take interview of her and her side take interview of mine. Since the place belongs to her, I have an away-match disadvantage. The summer heat, plus nervousness of the interview results in sweat, sweat n more sweat. No matter the amount of talcolm powder I applied or the deo I sprayed all were draining in the sweat.
After the exchange of pleasantries it was interview time for her. As the home side she had the advantage of bringing the cold-drinks and foods to impress the panel of judge, besides a sweeter voice, cuter look and gorgeous dress. Her interview went really well and now my side have gave her the joining letter. And when my turn came my sweat has been transformed to an Odour which again can be experienced, not described, there is not any trace of the deo which attract all the hot gals around myself. It was horrible, I guess they have the Nose which could have smelled my body odour and you can imagine what kind of impression they have on me who is going to be their son-in-law ? The discussion started from the line it is too hot outside, isn't It ? We tried to blame the body odour on the heat, but somehow inside I was cursing my Deo, I wish I had a deo who had a lasting fragrance instead which attracts the girls towards me. But the other questions went off well and My In-laws also selected me. It was a day to remember for both of us and our family minus the body-odour.

This is my small #SniffSniff story where I was at the receiving end.

Most of my male friends will vouch that, Most of The Deodorant ad has a common objective and result. "The girl will run towards you after applying the deo" Isnt it ?
But how many of you have encountered this, has this ever happen to you ? I have never been lucky, I guess none of you are also ?

So basically when i received the #SniffSniff packet I was surprised that at least an upcoming brand is giving importance on Giving the Nose a refreshing day not attracting the gorgeous models in the beach/lift/mall.

Movies The Ox-Bow Incident

Recently i have started to watch some of the old classic movies.

My First is The Ox-Bow Incident, The Director is William A. Wellman

The film has star cast of Henry Fonda, Dana Andrews, Mary Beth Hughes 



This film on mob rule was a pet project of both star Henry Fonda and director William Wellman After a hard winter on the range, cowboys Gil Carter (Fonda) and Art Croft (Harry Morgan) ride into a fleabitten small town for a drink. Within minutes, they get mixed up in a barroom brawl, which earns them the animosity of the locals. By and by, word reaches town that a local rancher has been killed by rustlers. With the sheriff out of town, a lynch mob is formed under the leadership of Major Tetley (Frank Conroy), a former Confederate officer who hopes to recapture past glories. Worried that they'll be strung up, Carter and Croft reluctantly join the mob and head out of town. In the dark of night, the group comes across three sleeping transients: a farmer named Martin (Dana Andrews), a Mexican (Anthony Quinn), and a senile old man (Francis Ford). The fact that Martin carries no bill of sale written by the so-called murder victim is evidence enough for Tetley to demand that the three men be hanged on the spot. Carter knows that this is a gross miscarriage of justice, but he's helpless to intervene. Resolving himself to his fate, Martin gives Carter a letter to deliver to his wife. The three unfortunates die at the end of the rope, and the mob rides off, only to discover that there never was a murder of any kind. Based on a novel by Walter Van Tilburg Clark, The Ox-Bow Incident is not so much a western as a gothic melodrama, with deep, looming shadows and atmospheric underlighting worthy of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari. 

The ending is as simple and powerful it can be. the ending is just the opposite of the starting where they return with something to give with something in mind. Even the dog which crossed their path in the starting went the other way.

Happiness in Small things. #CelebrateLife


Now money has become so important and integral part of life that we have stopped deriving happiness from small things around us. But to make the most out of this life we must take meaning and happiness from small things around us, How about playing with the kids and observing them, Listening to the chirping of birds or just looking at the butterfly. This in turn Make big occasions unnecessary, making us to enjoy the moment you’re living in.

Le Corbusier has said The home should be the treasure chest of living.

In big city where space is such a big constraint, we ignore or have very limited opportunity to do small things which gives us a lot of happiness. For Example. In childhood we used to have our own flower garden, kitchen garden in our home. The blooming of flowers, growing up of vegetables gave us immense happiness. In most of the homes now garden seems unviable as there is rarely any space. But you can still make your balcony or the window space as your flower/kitchen garden. Good to some good real estate developers are creating space in apartments where you can have some flower/vegetable tree for yourself and your family. I am sure when the flower will start to bloom it will give you more happiness than that upto 50% sale which is going on your nearest lifestyle store and when you reach there you see the offer is on selected items. You can see the following image where a balcony has been converted to a little garden Just remember Creating a simple and elegant balcony or rooftop garden isn’t hard to do if you have a little patience.

Similarly I had experienced the bonding between one with his family, friends and neighbour is really a great asset. Those from villages/small towns can very much relate to the fact how connected they were in their childhood, how our parents talked and shared a repertoire with everyone be our neighbour, our grocerer, the milkman, the fish vendor, each and everyone. In my initial PG days in a big city I missed it very much. But I have experienced its changing now the housing societies, CHS or RWS in whatever name you called it started to created that atmosphere. The celebration of festivals of various religions, Independence & Republic day along with annual day. sports meet, rangoli are creating that much required interaction. We have just to participte in our Housing society's various function. You will  discover the happiness after knowing each other. When I started attending our function I was surprised after seeing the talents of the kids in singing & dancing, Some play unbelievably well in badminton and volleyball.

Dont keep yourself stuck in just one page explore the whole book like Vijayan.

When I first read the story of Mr. VIJAYAN and his wife at http://willofsteel.in/ my first reaction was "Really ?"

How many of us are pursuing our dream with that passion ? We always give excuses to not pursue that dream. For understanding this please read about Mr. Vijayan at http://willofsteel.in/

This tea stall owner from Kerala has probably seen more countries than most of us have. Vijayan and his wife have made it their life's mission to visit as many countries as possible in one life. Considering that their small tea stall is their sole source of income, they take heavy loans from banks to fulfill their passion and put in twice the hours of work to gradually pay it all back. Without caring much for luxury, they chase the experience of travelling the world in whatever form. They've even sold tea in Zurich when they didn't have enough money fly back to India. Vijayan and his wife are the ideal example of how driven and passionate a dream can keep you. Vijayan has visited countries like Britain, France, Austria, Egypt, UAE, United States of America and the list goes on

So how you find the story and #willofsteel of Vijayan !!! When I compared it with my life and my passion for dream I found Vijayan has a stronger heart which is perhaps made of steel. In life we always defer that much-needed break and put other things in priority like purchasing some gadget or some items for home, thinking that it will give us pleasure. But in the process we just forget to relax and unwind which is required to refresh, replenish our senses.

Vijayan and his wife’s story is an eye-opener for us who give 'no money' as an excuse for not travelling. He proves that if you have a dream than no matter how big or how small it is you can achieve it with your dedication and will of steel.

There are really some great stories with will of steel, please have a look at the amazing stories and vote for the person you like. But “I’m voting for Vijayan’s #WillOfSteel and blogging on BlogAdda to help him/her get felicitated and eventually enabled by JSW.

Hopefully after reading this inspiring stories You will plan that long delayed trip and pack your bags. As Saint Augustine has said "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page." So dont keep yourself stuck in just one page explore the whole book like Vijayan did and keep on exploring.
