Retail Therapy!


Retail Therapy

" Whoever said, ' money can't buy happiness' , simply didn't know where to go shopping! "
I can’t agree more with these words! People reprimand me time and again, every time I walk in with my hands full of shopping bags (Paper bags) I get those ' she-shopped- again! 'looks from people around me!

Why do I shop people ask me? Well its simple, shopping makes me happy! Wen I walk into a store, it’s an experience! The smell of brand new clothes, bags, accessories and shoes! Those visually stimulating pretty things neatly lined up waiting for you to buy them! Longing, calling out to you… 'buy me buy me' small tiny voices calling out!
I look at them, and suddenly i see that one pair of shoes or bag or dress that catches my eye! 
I lose my mind especially when I see a beautiful pair of shoes, what happens next goes something like this...

'My heart skips a beat, I start breathing harder, and as i walk towards it, I can hear the silence of the world that has come to a standstill around me!
I pick up the pair of beautiful Manolo Blahnik shoes, and get a my heart skips yet another beat as i see the price! I know I can’t afford them, but then i remember the vicious credit card lying in my bag calling to me lustfully! Come on, I will be able to handle this, I say to myself, I'll just pay later! Look at those shoes, they need to be bought right now, they will look so fabulous in my collection of shoes! So, giddy with nail biting nervousness and a crazy adrenaline rush because of my super impulsive decision, i go ahead and buy them! And oh it feels so good! Almost orgasmic! 
BUT, just a few minutes later, as I walk out of the shop, like all impulsive decisions I make I begin to regret this one immediately!! After a few minutes of cursing myself and a little bit of faux soul searching, I just peep in my bag and take another look at MY new beautiful shoes! and voila! there all those thoughts of regret are quickly replaced with thoughts of 'what-am- I- going- to- wear- these- shoes- with' and I am on a shoes high for the next few days! 

So this is what shopping and shoes do to me, and I know countless other women and mind u, a few men, who get their kicks from shopping this way. We shop when we are happy, we shop when we are sad, we shop for an occasion, or just coz we're glad! We shop when we're bored; we shop ' just like that' ... A beautiful woman once rightly said "when women are depressed, they go shopping. When men are depressed they invade a country. It’s a whole different way of thinking! '"

Shopping is a drug , it gets u as high as marijuana and makes u forget all your troubles! Though Credit card bill troubles are a different story altogether, and u can guess what I do to get over that...? :D

~Une Vie en Rose~: Dreaming with my feet...

~Une Vie en Rose~: Dreaming with my feet...: "Constanze said ' dancing is like dreaming with your feet'. I couldn't agree more. Owing to a gap of a year and a half year the euphor..."

Dreaming with my feet...

Constanze said  ' dancing is like dreaming with your feet'. I couldn't agree more.

Owing to a gap of a year and a half year the euphoria i felt while dancing had faded into oblivion. However now am back to dancing so is my euphoria and how!
Contemporary dance has always been an attraction and seeing those beautiful bodies of contemporary dancers move with such fluidity, such finesse has never failed to give me goosebumps! It always looks so effortless and so simple but mind u i may be just two classes old and its insanely difficult! Leave alone fluid postures and expression maintaining your balance is a huge achievement! But the sheer beauty of this form of dance motivates u to carry on... All my life i have danced many forms but till i tried contemporary no form had managed to give me that freedom of expression and unleashed an gigantic sea of emotions in me that i dint even know existed!
Have u ever danced and surrendered yourself to the music.. let the music flow through you to create something gorgeous, let your emotions flow to the extent that you are so overwhelmed, u want to cry!
It  makes u dizzy with emotions... happiness sadness pain  love anger desire pleasure all at once.. through dance you give them an outlet, a chance to engulf you with their complete intensity.

Someone once said, there are many shortcuts to happiness dancing is the easiest!
so let yourself go.. put on some music and let the dance flow through you.. see what you create..

After all dancing is just like love... only when u surrender yourself completely to it will u know the power the fullness and the bliss that it brings into your life!

So keep dreaming... :)

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaarling public mein sansani ek baar karne do!

So that excatly wat the movie saat khoon maaf did! Total sansani film! 2 hours of absolute edge of your seat entertainment!
Quite a dark movie and people with a weak heart should avoid it! There were quite a few mixed reviews in the papers.. while a few papers gave it only 2 stars calling it a disappointment a few others gave it 4! A must watch!
And eventhough a few of my closest friends advised me against it I still just had to watch the film!! And am so glad i did!
Its a freaky movie even scary! Prinyanka Chopra has stolen the show yet again with her acting skills and kudos to the make up artist man!!
For those who dont know much abt the movie.. its based on a short story by Ruskin Bond called Sussana's seven Husbands.. the story abt a woman in the search of true love, who ends marrying the wrong men all the time and ends up killing them too!
Though i still wondered if it was necessary to Kill all the men.. she could have just divorced them! Some men i agree deserved what they got.. (this is wat should be done to wife beaters!! ) but the others i thought were unnecessary.. but again if she wouldnt kill them the movie would not be made rite? i mean come on 2 husbands toh easily get killed even in our hindi serials! :P
 Even though at some parts of the movie u feel like the woman is a complete psychopath u actually feel bad for her in the end! !
She is just a woman in search of love who finds it but with all the wrong men! :(
A few images in the film give u the chills and even after the movie is over u wait around to see if there is anything more that is to happen!

Only complaint though is that it leaves u very confused as to who is the 7th person she kills?? But i guess its not a person but a dog..! :(

The end of the movie is typical Bollywood exaggeration God coming down on earth and dancing with her!! Gimme a break!
But other than that its a Super duper dark freaky movie that leaves u dumbstruck!

Surely a one time watch! :)

My First Blogpost! *Triumphant smile *

So finally after months of procrastination and the oh-i-want-to-make-a-blog-but.... I am finally here! * applause for myself* 
When i googled "how to make your own blog" ( yes i did that.. go figure!) it said that ppl get all excited abt making their own blog and at the end of the process they dont know what to write! I brushed that thought aside thinking that its ridiculous! How can ppl not know wat to write! I have so much on my mind that i want to pen down already!! 
Alas! after going through the step by step procedure of creating a blog, thinking of a name that as google said "encompasses the essence" of your blog ( believe me that put u under a lot of pressure!) designing and redesigning your homepage, adding nice pictures and a note abt oneself! when things did finally boil down to actually writing my first post.. guess wat? I dint know wat to write!!!!! * rolls her eyes* 


So here i am accounting my entry into the colossal world of blogs! * awestruck eyes* 


Welcome here,  Me! :)
