It was something I never thought I would do. There are always those times in your life when you look down upon some profession or other. We have all had this when we were in the college, directed towards the only accessible-for-scorn profession - teaching!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And yet, here I am, teaching and enjoying every second of it. :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It is an interior designing institute in Delhi and they wanted a part time faculty(read 8:00 to 10:00) in the morning. They got my reference from some random job site and pursued me(benefits of being a part of a big architectural firm :P) till the time I gave in! My only concern was how do I manage office and this together. But I am doing it, and hope I'd be able to continue.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I guess what drives me is the will to teach others what I know. And yes,  it certainly is easier said than done.  :)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;p.s. - I got  a teacher's day card(yea yea.. it was a guy and yes he was trying to strike points) and a few wishes, here and there.. :) on the second class.. it was very very embarrassing and yet very touching for some strange reason! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-7846935616203460536?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/10/happy-teachers-day.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-7173897666560596297</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2009 15:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-27T14:48:28.684+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>Review</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>I like</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>I recommend</category><title>August Rush</title><description>&lt;div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;It's a tale from one full moon night to the other. only that they happen to be eleven years away from each other. A tale that begins one night, follows the notes and crescendos, to reach the grand  finale the other. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Lyla and Louis, follow the music. And find each other instead. It was just one night they had spent together and yet a connection so deep had been forged.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Shortly after his birth, their child had been put up at an orphanage by Lyla's father while lying to her saying it was a stillbirth. Louis, of course, had no clue that he was a father.&lt;br /&gt;Their forced separation made the music within them die.&lt;br /&gt;The story, the movie, is not about them. It is about their son, Evan, who even after eleven years of no contact from either of the parents believes that they are alive and that he would find them. That, the music would help him find them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And it does. The movie indeed is an incredible journey moving at the speed of sound.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;p.s. The dvd of this movie was a gift. :)&lt;br /&gt;If any of you has not seen it, you can catch it on August 29th on Pix! :) Enjoy!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-7173897666560596297?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/08/august-rush.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-6825699339310927164</guid><pubDate>Fri, 21 Aug 2009 12:33:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-21T18:20:13.754+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>it's all relative</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>life</category><title>Get Well Soon!!!</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;What do you do when someone you love falls sick?

Even you can't look beautiful all the times. It's okay to look bad sometimes. Some days you look good, some days you don't. It happens.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;*sigh*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Is it not nice to be treated like an adult. As an equal.  Ask me. It is a relief. To know that it's alright. Alright for you to be scared of losing something. And that even if you do, it'll be alright.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;There could've been two different ways the conversation could have gone other than the aforementioned. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;One could've been when the boy tries to tell her that she still is pretty. Despite everything, she still is. Put her up on a pedestal. What a farce. Yet the girl smiles. She likes the compliments. Knowing very well that he's fibbing. If it did make her feel good, then, later a doubt creeps in. Does he always fib when he praises me?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;On the other hand, the boy could have convinced her that he would love her, no matter what. However she looks. That looks don't matter. She smiles. The objective achieved. But she's no kid. Is she? She knows the importance of each and every aspect of her own self. Then who is the boy kidding, anyway? Not himself  for sure. Would his neck not turn every time a pretty young thing walks past them. Even with her hand in his own? And would she not know that it did?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;The only way to deal, is to strike a balance. It might hurt just a little bit, but it'll be easier. To tell her, that's is alright. It's only human. And that the only way is, to deal with it. And accept it. That she is an adult. And an equal. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Not a child and not a Goddess.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-3541803968521396079?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/07/not-child-and-not-goddess.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-3720166029038784443</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-22T10:13:23.551+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>it's all relative</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>love</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>What women want</category><title>Beautiful vs Not so.</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Beauty, somehow, always manages to elicit different responses from different women. From men it is always the same. It's perhaps the appreciative look that they give. That tells us women, how one of them is more preferred than the rest.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;And yes, does being beautiful not help the women?! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;It eases the whole process. The ticket queues from the govt offices to the movie theaters. If not quicker, it is more comfortable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;'Beautiful women can get away with murder' is what someone I know keeps saying.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As a conclusion after another of the many conversations that I keep having with this friend, I realised how difficult it must be for some of the girls for a few years. When they are not pretty enough and the boys are cruel. Yes, I mean the age bracket of 12-15 yrs.&lt;br /&gt;Girls are getting there. From being cute to becoming pretty. But boys don't like them. Yet.&lt;br /&gt;I thanked my stars then, that I was an alright looking girl even in those years. I say alright because I had my doubts all the times, despite the compliments. Either I'd be too thin or too fat. Too fair or too dark. Too curly or too straight. It could never be perfect. Even today.&lt;br /&gt;An old joke goes something like this -&lt;br /&gt;Q - Why is an average woman more good looking than intelligent&lt;br /&gt;A - Because an average man can see better than he can think!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, we seem to be obsessed with beauty and beauty products.&lt;br /&gt;And for good reason too. What does a girl do when a guy she really likes and finds the feeling to be reciprocated  converses her like this -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Girl - I am not feeling good. I am low and irritated and snappy and I feel I am not looking good today.&lt;br /&gt;Boy - Oh! That's why you didn't go to work today?!&lt;br /&gt;Girl - Yeah.. You got that right, I am looking ugly today. I don't like it at all.&lt;br /&gt;Boy - That's okay, sweetheart. Even you can't look beautiful all the times. It's okay to look bad sometimes. Some days you look good, some days you don't. It happens.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Umm.. did they not know there's a word called pampering?! :P&lt;br /&gt;Also, am I only a pretty face? and that once when I stop looking good.. well.. *shudders*&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This only teaches you, you gotta look good all times. Else there's more fish in the sea! :P&lt;br /&gt;More on this in a bit. Maybe the other perspective. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-3720166029038784443?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/06/beautiful-vs-not-so.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-327289410131174872</guid><pubDate>Tue, 21 Jul 2009 16:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-21T22:26:37.893+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>relationships</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>love</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>What women want</category><title>When a woman loves a man</title><description>&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Never has it been said by a man that he's understood a woman.

But are they?&lt;br /&gt;I know this post defies convention. But then, when was I a regular girl next door?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well looking at the dictionary meaning, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="pron" onmouseover="return m_over('Click for pronunciation key')" onmouseout="m_out()" onclick="pron_key()"  style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;polygamy means -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;either&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" class="pseg"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;div class="ds-list"&gt;&lt;b&gt;1. &lt;/b&gt; The condition or practice of having more than one spouse at one time. Also called &lt;i&gt; plural marriage&lt;/i&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;or&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="ds-list"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;/b&gt; &lt;i&gt;Zoology&lt;/i&gt;  A mating pattern in which a single individual mates with more than one individual of the opposite sex.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Is it really this difficult to be in a monogamous 'loving' relationship? I mean, I look around and all I see is people getting out of their years-long relationships.. The reason? Sheer boredom!! But being  bored and as a consequence getting into a polygamous state doesn't mean that men are innately so by nature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I asked a simple out of the blue question to a lot of my guy friends.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why would you want a wife(whenever you would, that is)?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And, not surprisingly, the one thing common to all their &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;answers was - for companionship.&lt;br /&gt;When guys say they want companionship, how can we, ever, even think that they would want to stray. Or that straying is something they look forward to, already.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After companionship, comes that they want to love and to be loved.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Which makes me wonder if we can talk of love and companionship and two timing and extra marital affair in the same breath?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But is companionship and love what we get when we are committed?&lt;br /&gt;Things can get from bad to worse and men can get into an affair outside of marriage or the committed relationship they are in. Then maybe, it is only a maybe as I can't vouch for men, they would still rather have only one relationship. Only that they are not courageous enough to be able break away and hence the polygamous situation!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And hence, on this note let me end by quoting G.K. Chesterton, who very wisely said -&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;blockquote style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;"Variability is one of the virtues of a woman. It avoids the crude requirement of polygamy. So long as you have one good wife, you are sure to have a spiritual harem."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-749180321484410171?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/03/polygamy.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-2888793718207492567</guid><pubDate>Wed, 15 Jul 2009 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-16T12:00:25.481+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>poetic somethings</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>life</category><title>Vacant Expanses</title><description>&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"   style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';font-size:7;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 48px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style=" ;font-size:10pt;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Vacant expanse all around &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The things I thought I couldn't understand. That I didn't know the inner workings of. The dark. The world beyond. Now I've accepted that there might be things I don't know. Events that I don't understand. Circumstances I know nothing about. People I can't fathom. Yet I accept them all.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;What makes us so diffrent from each other? The basic fact - that is- the way we think. The way we react towards a situation. The way we respond to a person. The way we relate or not to a situation. this is what makes us so different.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This acceptance is what we require. This acceptance of the differences. And the harmoniuous living alongwith. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;As I maintain, what is love? &lt;i&gt;It is nothing but acceptance of the highest order.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I know people who find it's beyond them when it comes to understanding other people. They are happy doing their own things. Happy believing that the world out there is rotten, bad and wicked. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We need people like these. Only if they would be able to accept the difference and stay content.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We look at a criminal. We look only what he's done. Do we also look at what drove him to do that? I've started to. And I'm alright. As long as I know the reason. I can forgive and forget. It makes my life so much easier. So much simpler. There's no anger. If only, momentarily so.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Office politics. This is one of those ruts I never wanted to get into. But then, I am only human. It is basic human nature to form a group and yet want to be a loner. It is this conflict of interests that creates these situations. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;We've learnt about Darwin. And the theory about the survival of the fittest. And yet if we can't relate it to the others. If we can't empathise and hence accept the bites, the claws, the scratches and lashes. Can we really be content ever?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-1660238015269830516?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/07/can-we-be-content-ever.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-3490106554626951045</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2009 17:15:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-06T23:40:48.062+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>it's all relative</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>relationships</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>life</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>love</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>What women want</category><title>Getting a girl - and keeping her as well</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;As someone I know very aptly put it - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Its not rocket science, but you are likely to have better success if you treat the girl like any other business associate - Polite and Professional!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;But he gave out only half the story. Maybe because he doesn't realise it himself. Or maybe because he doesn't want the other men to benefit from it. Who knows!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Let me elaborate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;You gotta be polite. But not only until you've got her. So before you've gotten her you open the doors and mind the p's and q's. But bang(!) and don't you forget, my dear! *pun totally intended*&lt;/span&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Is this what being polite is? That you're polite only till the courtship time. Methinks, it is more polite to be impolite earlier than later.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Professionalism it is. But then being professional means carrying it through the whole time! You gotta deliver. and deliver with perfection. All that you promised. When wanting to make her fall for you.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;But then of course. You do all of this if and only if you want to keep her. Else, stop at the first para and enjoy the ride! :-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-3490106554626951045?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/07/getting-girl-and-keeping-her-as-well.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-2232490561729518490</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2009 11:00:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-06T22:45:15.662+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>reflections</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>life</category><title>Who's the fairest?</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;While watching the match y'day, gripping as it was, I didn't miss even the commercials. Suddenly I see John abraham and was I not interested! :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;But the euphoria didn't last for long as I realised, he was the 'brand ambassador' for well.. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.indiaretailing.com/upload/newsimage/John.jpg" style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 225px; height: 203px;" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Garnier Powerlight!!! Yea. It's a fairness cream for men! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;And was I not disappointed! He of all the people is the wrong guy to be in an ad propagating whole 'fairness' mania considering he is the well, come to think of it, one of the very few guys I know who has  a gf darker than himself. And is she not HOT!!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;For someone who is not very fair by our north indian standards, I know how cruel people can be regarding your colour! I have known people dismiss one of the sisters only because she unfortunately is not as fair! There's a guy in my office who is extremely so. And he wants a wife more than what he himself is! And I thought as Indians our skin tone is supposed to be.. well..  a healthy tanned!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;When we get to know about any new matches, the first thing that everyone asks is ' is she fair?'. As if, it's just the fairness that matters. Her merits, the education, the well mannerisms don't. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;The obsession with the fairness doesn't end here. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Not only do the darker girls get all the chiding the mothers, the grandmother and the aunts always are trying to smother them with ways to improve colour! The raw potatoes, the cucumbers.. the turmeric.. lemon! But nothing works. Do they not know it's in the genes. If anyone is to be blamed, it has to be the generations above the poor sufferer. But I guess it's not their fault. They took the whole '&lt;i&gt;Mirror mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all&lt;/i&gt;' way too seriously!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;As if all this was not enough, there is an onslaught of beauty products hitting the market promising to make you beautiful. Yea of course they mean fair and hence the beauty! And now, truly understanding the need of the hour, it is not only the face but also the whole body fairness lotions that they've come out with! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Personally, I see no reason why the colour of the skin should refrain a person from being and looking beautiful. As Reggie jackson very famously said - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;"The only difference between me and those other great yankees is my skin color"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Having said that, let me get out of here for today. Have to doll up. And my Garnier fairness face wash and the  Garnier fairness wipe off lotion are waiting for me! ;-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-2232490561729518490?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/07/whos-fairest.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>5</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-7991065850695422293</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2009 07:02:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-06T14:44:48.240+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>it's all relative</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>reflections</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>life</category><title>Not easy to please women</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;I am irritated. tired. and a litle buzzed. even after a super packed and fun weekend and a week of almost no work. maybe it is just the too much of nothings in  my life that's doing this to me.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Aah! I just realised all this is just the overflow from the PMS from last week. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;The previous weekend I claimed to be out on three dates. With three different men of course. all in a span of 18 hours. When in reality all I did was vegetate at home and (very obviously and in full hearing f my parents and sister) moan! This claim was made to Arshad who was home in Cochin on a vacation. To which he replied - " You're on fire this weekend, doll!".&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Even he wouldn't buy it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;And well I apologise, yet again this morning, for bringing up the very sensitive issue of PMS and all that. For the uninitiated, as many men(very surprisingly) are, PMS is Pre menstrual syndrome, and no it is not a disease! :D &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;This is just a woman's way to get pampered. and also to rant all that she wants to!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;There's one thing that I really don't understand. Why are men so scared of PMS. And of a pms-ing woman, of course as well? I agree, the women are difficult, irritated, look a little unkempt, and of course are not in the mood for any sex. But then as very aptly put by Marilyn Monroe - &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="color:#CCCCCC;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(204, 204, 204); line-height: 19px; "&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'courier new';"&gt;"I am selfish, impatient and insecure, a little out of control and at times I am hard to handle.

The mood swings do happen.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;P.P.S - And yes, the rants would continue.. not easy to please a woman, pms-ing or not, is it?! ;-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-7991065850695422293?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/07/not-easy-to-please-women.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-3959868977206228784</guid><pubDate>Mon, 06 Jul 2009 06:08:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-07-06T11:49:30.238+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>reflections</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>life</category><title>The grand wedding saga -1</title><description>&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;This happened to me on friday morning.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;There's light outside already.

And subconsciously whether looking for a commitment or not even the other men stay away from the marked ones! :P Which makes me wonder if they really are looking only for &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;that&lt;/span&gt;?! Ahem! *chuckle*&lt;br /&gt;Marking.. well how do they do that, you might ask.. very simple. The more traditional methods are.. well..That bindi on the forehead? The amber sindoor sparkling above. The glittering mangal sutra. Those jingling glass bangles. The wedding band lovingly put on the ring finger. Or the coruscating nose ring? Those colourful toe rings. The ghunghat that they hide behind! What else did we think these were? Yep! Just the marks of being taken! And that brings us to the more non-traditional erm.. subtle methods! *wink,wink* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Do you like it when your guy takes your hand and leads you through the crowded dance floor? Or do you like it when he takes you by the waist, while he gives the stay-off-my-girl look to all the others around ?!  *wink* The way he's a little more in the mood of PDA when you are around someone who's being trying to hit on you???  umm.. tagging your photo on the facebook or you yourself the blog?! *chukle*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;These are a few instances just based on my observation. Maybe men they do it because of the &lt;i&gt;hunter instinct &lt;/i&gt;from the cave men's times. As there'd always be that need.. and the instinct to protect. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;And as we already know, other men do keep away from the marked women, don't they?! *wink, chukle* &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;And also it brings me back to the question that if they really are looking only for &lt;i&gt;that&lt;/i&gt;?!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/567387103986363793-953479625017784744?l=nimishasspace.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://nimishasspace.blogspot.com/2009/06/marking-your-women.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Nimisha)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0'>12</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-567387103986363793.post-251987933246258150</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Jun 2009 04:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-06-23T10:41:01.688+05:30</atom:updated><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>reflections</category><category domain='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#'>life</category><title>I need a husband.</title><description>&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;I've always rebuffed any suggestions, nudge,nudge wink,wink or the more direct in-my-face ones, about my need to get married. But now I know. I NEED a husband. If only so that he can drive me to work and back. You might ask me if a driver would do, instead. No. He wouldn't. Only because if he bangs the car then it wouldn't still be his fault. It'll be my headache. With the husband, it'll be his headache and his fault! *evil grin*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;Now that I have told you what I need, methinks it is time to let know why. Yes, it is because someone (read obnoxious @#&amp;amp;^*!*&amp;amp;^%# ) banged my car from behind today morning. Not only that, he had the audacity to tell me it was my fault!!! Because, giving an indicator is not enough when you are turning left, you also have to take into account the *over* speeding vehicle  *at least 60 in a 20kmph zone* which is trying to zoom past you!!!!!!!!! (Yes. He told me this!)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;*sigh*&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span"  style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"&gt;P.s. - I reach office after the debacle and get six cheery 'good mornings' today!

Or anything else that tells me that because I am thiiiiiiis fat I should've also been thiiiiiis tall! Hmmmph!&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;So I got this pair y'day which of course needed a few inches chopped off. But as usual, of course, they couldn't get the length right in the first go. And so I had to take it away that way itself and return another time to get the corrections done.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Coming to today morning  I turned them up a bit as I got ready for the office. Just as I was getting out&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;My dad         : Aah!! No office for you today?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yours truly : Oh! noh! of course there is!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dad                : I thought you have an off today&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yours truly : No no! Why do you say that?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dad                : Oh! The turned up denim et al! I thought you going out elsewhere!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yours truly : Erm..  Actually chhoti (my sister) asked me to turn them up a little further...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dad                : But?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yours truly : Well.. I can't wear capris at work&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dad                : Says who?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Yours truly : Well.. they are not formal!!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Dad                : Oh yes! Of course these denims you wear everyday are oh-so-formal!
