Harsha Bhogle- A picture & the memories

Image
  I have to admit that even though I do follow cricket but it is limited to some big times like a world cup or IPL .Won’t bother much about the 2 nation test series. Having said that even then there are few people who just catch your attention in that limited time.  No , I’m not talking about any player cause they are as inconsistent as the sunny weather in London , but about one cricket commentator who has clinged on now for as long as I can remember. Especially considering that he doesn’t even  have a cricketing background but very strong academics with engineering & MBA from IIMA to his credits, I applaud the passion this guy might have had to pursue today a full time career as a cricket commentator. Yes , I’m talking about Harsha Bhogle . If my being-a-strong-fan rating for Harsha is 6/10 then I would say that my husband scores a massive 9 (10 saved for Sachin of course) .I would guess it is mostly cause he not only watches cricket but reads, writes & breathe...

Je to ab manne bhi pata hai

The famous though copied line of Son Of Sardar “Teri ma di , teri pen di yeh to duniya ko humne sikhayi, is kolaveri di ki baari to baad mai aayi ‘ might have got some of you roar with laughter or some restraining themselves with a smirk but to a girl who would have spent considerable time in her youth living in North India (especially if hadn’t done so already)  the importance of ability to understand these dialogues is what got me pondering over this subject . When I say above then I especially vouch for the south Indian girls who were fortunate enough to study in a north Indian college(pun intended). What are we talking about here ??? Well I’m talking about the mother and sister gallis (cuss words/abuses)that you hear(and of course other nasty things that come along) with as much ease in north India as a recitation of Twinkle Twinkle by 2 year old toddler  Was it a horrendous experience ? Very  frankly -YES. Brought up in a clean environment of  “Ma’am- af...

Coming together of FashP & Technobyte

Image
The great divide of girls & boys gang ( forced though) in REC Kurukshetra meant that the beautiful girls of Fash P & the geeky brains of Technobyte could never come together else even we probably would have witnessed 10 years back a dress which Miss Nicole adorns in the Pic below. The USP of this dress is  that it is constructed from 8 meters of the finest French silk chiffon, laden with over 500 Swarovski crystals and over 2,000 LED lights, which lights up to spell out Tweets sent in by fans in real time throughout the evening (via @EE and #tweetthedress).This was during the launch event of 4G by EE in UK. Few months back we did talk about some fashion accessories which do get popularised with politics ( political-fashion )  but its quite amazing to see this new creation inspired by technology . Not  that I dont remeber Mr Bacchan's costume from my childhood days which many of us would have been in complete awe of. Do comment on any other s...

Bournemouth and the country side.

Definitely of all the landscapes the one that I enjoy most is a Beach- sandy, sunny with a vast expanded horizon which calms you eliminating all the negativity, the sound of the ocean waves -soothing you from deep inside, lashes of these waves gently massaging you as if to say everything will be alright. Now that I'm In UK, one of such beaches that I particularly enjoy is Bournemouth- a large coastal Resort Town the county of Dorset , England.Being within an easy access from London its no surprise that the town & thus the beach has grown commercially as well but the sheer beauty of the beach & the possibility of finding spots-as-per-your-mood makes it much more special for me.  All the photographs here might not do the justice to the beauty of this place but choose a warm sunny day , hang on to some friends or family and this cant get better.. Entrance to the Commercial side of the Beach Commercial Coastline B'mouth Pier has like other UK...
