Knowing that her man, a pilot was engaged to someone else, she couldn’t resist crying. She was in anger. She was in pain. She lost faith in others as well as herself. She sobbed bitterly sitting in the dark corner of the kitchen. She regretted for the mistake she had done by loving him unconditionally. A number of thoughts were lingering and her mind was in fluctuation. A chaos of emotions roared in her. She wondered how she could be cheated and there was no justice.
Her father was worried about his only daughter and claimed she would never think of him again who wasn’t loyal to her and that she would move on with life. He was old and in a trembling voice, he asked her to untie the knot, the knot of his memories. He strengthened her with courage and was ready to stand by her.
Her fumbling attempt to forget him constantly went in vain and she gave up trying. Her shaft of hope and dreams were now dismissed. She heaved a sigh. Finally she dropped the idea of falling in love again and decided to remain as a princess only to her father!
After fifty long years, he took her to the place where they used to meet. His tears rolled down as all those moments he spent with her flashed before his eyes. He took her shivering hand in his and said “I love you forever!”
With difficulty she got up from her wheel chair and shouted “Who are you? Take me home now“.
“This was where you fell off the staircase and lost your memory. And I thought seeing this place might help you a little to get it back. Our home is thousand miles away!” he said to himself.
Christmas always reminds me of the gifts, sweets, celebrations,
carols and of course the Santa. As I have done 10 years of my schooling from
Convent School, I now miss celebrating Christmas. This feast always reminds me of my school days
which were the golden days of my life. I miss every bit and I secretly wish I
could go back to those days.
It is my all time dream to live in an Island away from the
worldly world. I want to live with Mother Nature among the trees, creepers, the
chirping birds and the flowing waters. I want to build a home in an island and a
small hut would also suffice! Aaah.. that awesome life among the greenery! That
life where I can get drenched all day in the rain, a peaceful sleep among the woods, the wind in my hair, the
morning breeze almost freezing me and I sit with a hot cup of smoking coffee watching
the scenic beauty! Yes, I am indeed a great lover of nature. So, dear Santa I want
you to gift me a hut in a small Island!
Next, being a big fan of The Big Bang Theory, it has been my
dream to have a special dinner with Dr. Sheldon Cooper aka Jim Parsons! I know
you will laugh at this weird wish of mine, but it’s all right and I really want
to. So, please give me an opportunity for the same. His smartness simply kills
me! And yes he always cheers me up, every single time!
Next, this wish isn’t for me but for a few
people on this earth. Now I want you to feed their brains with a little bit of
knowledge that we all are Indians and humanity is the only religion. It’s so humiliating
when these people differentiate on the basis of caste, creed, region and
language. Please, I just want you to break these walls. Just provide them with
a little common sense that nothing is greater than love and we all are Indians
irrespective of these barriers. Inject this thought and make them more broad
minded!
Although you might feel these wishes of mine are frivolous but
whom else do I have to ask other than you? Having revealed my secret wishes to you now
Santa, you might ask me if I am crazy and yes of course I am. And you think I
would say- “No! I am not crazy. My mother had me tested!” ? :P
Now that I know I am a grown up but there are some things
which really don’t change!
See, when I was a child I would ask you to give me chocolates and sweets but
now that I am grown up, I am demanding more! :P
P.S: I have many more cute
secret wishes like these but I want to keep them a secret for the following
years to come! :P
Dashing through the snow,
In a one horse open sleigh
Over the fields we go
Laughing all the way.
Bells on bob tail ring
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight.
Oh jingle bells jingle bells jingle all the way!
Oh what fun
it is to ride,
In a one horse open sleigh, Hey!
Jingle bells jingle bells
Jingle all the way!
Oh what fun it is to ride,
In a one horse open sleigh!!
Merry Christmas and a happy new year in advance! And now it is your turn to prepare your wish list for Santa!

In India, cricket isn't just a game. It is a genuine and a legitimate religion. In a nation that is divided by numerous castes, creeds, religions, languages, food and many more, cricket has succeeded in holding its folks together. One single sport connecting billions of people together. No matter what religion we follow, what food we eat, what language we speak we all celebrate the victory together as a grand festival. Again, no matter what religion you follow and what is your social status when it comes to cricket, we all are Indians.
You can find children playing in every nook and corner of the nation. Well, people here don't really need standard pitches to play cricket. Be it even on streets, roads, open grounds they are there! Nothing unites this country as cricket does!
And need I say that proud feeling when India beats Pakistan? The great joy and patriotism flows in the veins of every Indian. And every Indian teenage boy dreams of being a cricket hero and a girl dreams of such heroes!
Regardless of World Cup, ODI series, T-20, IPL Test cricket, everyone is glued to their TV's or YouTube screens. No matter how much work we have, we finish them as early as possible or we take an off and honestly speaking a sick leave. Every second fellow including your boss falls ill on that day! :P Its obviously, the cricket fever and latest live updates are the only cure! Circuitously or directly, this God of sports is definitely giving a reason to rejoice, a reason to celebrate and increasing the bonding between family, friends and colleagues. Doesn't matter if we don't win, watching cricket itself is a bliss of celebration.
Go to office or college and still track the updates of match? Yes! Nothing is impossible in this era of technology. Although we have n number of websites and apps the reason I chose UC Browser is because of the following reasons:
1. I usually catch match updates on browser. Even though I have full speed internet, many a times I get struck missing the live scores. But now, UC Browser comes to my aid. It is super fast with a very friendly user interface. Any person or even a kid who knows ABC of using gadgets can use it with ease.
2. It is available on all platforms and best suits Android.
3. Agog to know about the scores the two countries made some decades ago? Yes! Again, you can! The best part of UC cricket is - It gives you the history. One click on History option, and there you go!
4. Busy? Caught up with something? Need not worry. A single click on the yellow bell beside your favorite match and you shall get a notification just before the match commences. Isn't it really amazing?
5. The comment section allows you to share your opinions and read other's views too. Smileys speak louder than words. Isn't it? ;) You can also use emoticons to make your words sound louder.
Live updates, videos, history, notifications, comments and it has made every possible way to get you connected to your first love- cricket. Once you start using UC Cricket, I am sure you will fall in love with it. Now you can enjoy cricket relaxing on your couch and sipping your hot smoking coffee!
As I was browsing internet, I came across an article related to stress relief from RewardMe.in and I found it very useful. The article explains seven simple stress busters to save your sanity. Everywhere you look, people no matter the older ones or teenagers every one is stressed out. This article talks about stress bursting techniques and how it can help you tame your stress. While sometimes, stress can be a positive driving force, unfortunately, most of the times it has a negative impact.
Go for a walk- Yes! you need to get some fresh air which automatically reduces your stress and brings a warm smile on your face. Go to a park and spend some time. Nature can do wonders! Taking a deep breath or precisely called diaphragmatic exercises, deep muscle relaxation, can help reduce it.
If you remember, India is where Yoga and meditation have taken their birth. And recently we have celebrated International Yoga Day too. Yoga and meditation aren't only the best stress busters but they also make your life happier and much healthier. A path to enlightenment. So, set aside a time every day to work on relaxation.
I would like to re-quote the quote and say- A laughter a day, keeps the doctor away. Smile and laugh often and harness the powerful benefits of humor. Keep a smile on your face and drive your stress a miles away.
Talk to your buddies or colleagues. Time with best ones is undoubtedly the best time. It changes your mood and helps you stay positive. Friends are always there to cheer you up, no matter what. Even the worst day, turns to your best!
The 'me' time- Now this has to be number one on your list. Do a thing or two that makes you happy. May be a walk with mother nature, or doing your favorite things. Be it Painting, writing, reading, craft, listening to music or anything that pleases you. You owe it to yourself!
Playing games- Not the corporate ones, but the fun ones. Gather all your friends or family and play something that's fun and visit your childhood!
Writing down- Now, there may be times where you just want to be alone. Go grab a pen and start writing. Write whatever comes to your mind. It need not be gramatically correct. After all no one is going to read that except you.
So the article talks about the tips I have mentioned above. I would recommend to go through this
article here. I am participating in the ‘Ready For Rewards’ activity for Rewardmein association withBlogAdda.
Writing has always been my passion ever since I know. And along with the passion for writing comes reading too. I love reading, be it a novel, a poetry, a story or even a small piece of article. I was just visiting Rewardme.in and in family section, I came across an article on Family Bonding and I loved reading the tips to increase family bonding. I thought of writing an article on the same.
Family time is always the BEST time. In today's generation, every family is busy. Most of the families have both parent working, what a family means and the concept of spending quality time as a family has been thrown out of the window.
Family doesn't mean a group of individuals living together under the same roof but who are connected together and share their thick and thin. Having an emotional relationship with your family members is more important. No matter how busy schedule you have, family should always be your first priority to keep your family a happy family! Spending more time together and engaging in leisure activities makes your family bond grow more healthier. Even a small activity like playing with your kids, helping them in their homework, reading stories to each other have a great impact on the 'health' of the family.
You need to take out the quality time from your busy schedule to ask what each one of us has done in the day and show interest in each other lives. To show appreciation, affection and encouragement to kids is very important. If children aren't taught at home, then they shall learn no where. That's why it is said: "Home is the first school and Mom is thy first teacher". Children must be taught values and important lessons of life. If parents don't, who else will?
According to studies, kids who spend quality time with parents, are likely to do much better in their academics and show less behavioral problems. Yes! Its because they need your love, a sense of belonging, a sense of warmth and want to feel secured.
Communication is the key to all problems! So talk and listen as much as you can. Especially when it comes to kids in their teen-ages, you need to be their friend and they expect a couple of advice from a caring parent. A conversation with parents become more important at this stage.
It s said, Family that plays together-stays together. While that's certainly true, there's another thing today's families are missing. Yes! You got it right. Its the family dinner. Again when it comes to dining together it isn't grabbing something and eating in silence or each one busy indulged in social medias. Its absolutely not about family dinner- but its the time together. Family time around the table benefits every member and allow the bond to strengthen and flourish.
Children grow up before you realize, so try to spend time as much as you can. After all, you have got a lifetime to work, but kids are young only once! Family is where roots take hold and from there we grow. Family is not an important thing, its just EVERYTHING! I am participating in the ‘Ready For Rewards’ activity for Rewardmein association withBlogAdda.
Now a days, with increasing pollution and changing lifestyle acne and other skin problems have become too common. In accordance to it, there are innumerable creams, gels and ointments rising over there. We see a number of Adds on TV where glamorous actors and actresses wave a good-bye to pimples in no time. But I really wonder if they do give a permanent cure.
If you remember, India is a country where Ayurveda has taken its birth. Though it may not give a quick cure like English or western medicines, the best part is it doesn't harm your skin. The importance and use of Ayurveda and herbal medicines is not much known to present generations. But in olden era, people used to rely on them and they did get a sound cure.
Every teen faces skin problems at some point of time. Now, if you are sick of looking at the mirror and seeing pimples all over your charming face or if you're fed up of any other skin problems, here are some herbal remedies you could follow easily:
1. Drinking plenty of water is good for health and so the skin. Drinking enough water every day will keep your skin hydrated, clean, removes out lingering toxins and thus improve your skin health.
2. Turmeric is a well known spice used in most of the Indian recipes as well as herbal remedies. It can be an amazing treatment for stretch marks, pimples, blackheads and make your skin radiant. Now, you can enhance turmeric with other ingredients at your kitchen and give your skin a glamorous look! Turmeric and lemon juice face pack can do it well.
3. Aloe Vera is considered a miracle plant. It contains nutrients which has a tangible impact on skin and hair health. Eating Aloe Vera or drinking its juice early in the morning in empty stomach has an incredible effect. Within a week, you can see your skin glow and a glowing skin resembles good skin health. It also lightens skin tone and improves skin firmness.
4. In today's generation, everyone is passionate about fast foods or bakery products. Although we cannot avoid them completely, we can reduce consumption to some extent. Because, oily foods often leads to acne and black heads.
5. Consumption of 4 to 5 fresh Neem leaves in an empty stomach has a great effect. Within a week, you can see your pimples wave good-bye!
6. Tomatoes and potatoes are the natural solutions for dark circles as they help reduce dark-circles and make your skin soft and supple! All you need to do is rub it under your eyes every night before you go to sleep.
Many people have no knowledge that sometimes unhealthy hair and dandruff also lead to acne and skin problems. So keeping your hair clean and free from dandruff is very important. Again here, Neem leaves come into picture! Washing your hair once a week with Neem juice can help reduce dandruff and keep your hair healthy!
As mentioned above, turmeric has the best anti-bacterial and anti-infamatory properties, it helps reduce acne and fight against germs. So, if your looking for Ayurvedic cream for any skin problems here it is: VICCO turmeric cream, a long-lasting cure to all your skin problems!
