The very fancy and pricey hospital i underwent treatment for more than a year is burnt, turned into a death trap for patients who went there to heal... the patients chocked to death by toxic fumes... negligence from staff, docs... passing by the hosp area will always give me shivers remembering this devastating disaster that occurred in my city... praying for strength and peace to the deceased and their families...

I so love this song, its going to be inscribed into my book of memories in the future. Hope you enjoy the song and have a happy MM week ahead :-)



Heart beats fast
Colors and promises
How to be brave
How can I love when I'm afraid to fall
Watching you stand alone
All of my doubt suddenly goes away somehow

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Time stands still
Beauty in all she is
I will be brave
I will not let anything take away
What's standing in front of me
Every breath
Every hour has come to this

One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

One step closer
One step closer

[Chorus:]
I have died everyday waiting for you
Darling don't be afraid I have loved you
For a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

And all along I believed I would find you
Time has brought your heart to me
I have loved you for a thousand years
I'll love you for a thousand more

Before i post songs to my Hollywood/Bollywood Blog i must research, so here is an interesting read... this song brings a smile to my face for silly reasons... better than hearing or watching Vidyas Oh la la! I find it so cheap... anyway... now for some facts...

This song was initially leaked on the Internet, and the makers, having noticed its popularity, decided to go for an official release.

The lyrics portray the feelings of an average Indian boy, who has failed in love, or who has some problems with his girl.

The song crossed a crore (10 million) hits on YouTube on 30 November, 2011.

The song is suitable only for bathroom singers. Its simplistic and rustic beats make it more catchy to the commoner.

Javed Akhtar slams Kolaveri Di!

While the entire nation, including superstars Amitabh Bachchan and Rajinikanth, is hooked to Dhanush's Kolaveri Di, lyricist Javed Akhtar has slammed the song.

He tweeted: "KOLAVARI-D". Every one is praising the robes but the emporer is naked. Tune ordinary, singing substandard. words an insult to sensibility.

So what if the song has a few critics, it's being praised by millions. The song has got over 10 million hits on YouTube.

Big B had tweeted: Just heard Kolaveri Di after much talk on it ... its so original and catchy ..congrats Dhanush and Aishwarya (Rajni's daughter)

Free foreclosures are an option for listings for you at the free forclosure blog, because why pay for a site when you can get all your listings listed for free? So are you a realtor looking to promote your foreclosure listings for free? I did it, now you can also get listed for free without having to spend a pie. With Free Foreclosures you can also find out if it's the real time for you to buy or get all the information you need for free, which you would get on a paid site.

If you know of anyone looking to post Free REO foreclosures you can suggest them the site for free. Just email at the provided address and you're done.

Some more information about real estate is that if a homeowner fails or misses to make a payment, lenders can file a public record, a NOD, and then starts the pre-foreclosure process.

This song takes me back many years ago where i would have loved being right now... my teen days!

Hope you enjoy the song and have a happy MM :-)

Dont know why my senses not working cant seem to write anything, lost my inspiration to write poetry and its not a feel good thing at all! :( I don't think i could put anymore effort into making others happy draining whatever i have left of me! Its not worth, its just pointless when you're not going to get appreciated in return!

Why do people you give your whole self to, never want to appreciate it in the first place but do expect lot more?

Once again we're on November, the month that was always special to me for some reasons unmentionable here but i can only hope this year which i didn't expect would be pain and nothing more will bring me some happiness before we bid farewell into a new year!

Lot of hopes and expectations, as well as wishes and dreams kept away in some corner of my sad and lonely heart and here is where i put it to words.. but i guess what is supposed to be, will be... we cant control anything at all just put our best, and God sees to the rest.

Your are not alone, for its very easy to file a Crestor lawsuit these days. You must have known by now the side effects caused by crestor like serious injuries and heart attacks! It is not considered a preventive drug despite being approved Crestor to prevent cardiovascular events by the FDA. But a petition was filed against the FDA in 2004 by a consumer advocacy group, against the use of crestor and for its removal from the market because pf its serious life threatening side effects. Cardiomyopathy (deterioration of the myocardium), rhabdomyolysis (breakdown of muscle fibers), and ventricular dysfunction are a few side effects caused by the use of this drug. The Lancet, wrote an article criticize the tactics of introducing the drug in the market as well a data supporting its efficacy. So file your crestor lawsuit now!

Haha ... just posting this song coz i was remembering the argument between my elder and younger sis, while this song was playing on tele and i'm like just enjoying giggling (i do a lot) coz i belong to both gens! lolsss.. we three sisters are just few years apart.. ;-)

Elder sis- what your listening to? "na na na, whats my name?" she has nothing else to ask? what a rubbish and meaningless song Mandy, have some taste for music...

Mandy- yeah yeah, you listen to "hello, is it me your looking for? who would look out for him, so boring! laughing...

Sis- At least its meaningful, not like what Rihanna sings! na na, what does na na mean? and has she forgotten her name? bang her on her head she'll rem, and she has no dressing sense, see her red hair and shorts, sheeesh! and she croaks!

Mandy- There is a deep meaning behind those words.. and that's called fashion! not like oldies dressing!

So much more, and i couldn't giggle anymore, my cheeks were about to fall of when i intervene, and the peacemaker that i am, i say... OK, i agree with both of you, both gens have equally beautiful and meaningful music, now stop pulling each others legs" thus, the end of a pillow fighting battle of words! hehe

Hope you enjoy the song and have a happy MM folks :-)

Just cant wait for my big shopping spree coming on this month and the next. Cant believe Christmas is just a few days from now(it feels so, at least) and i ain't prepared when I'm supposed to be the perfectionist when it comes to organizing parties! I've rarely been doing in recent years but when i used to, it was one hell of a party for everyone! Anyway, so I've got a new wish list and to be the host of any party, one got to be the best dressed amongst all the others in the room! See, that's what i said i ain't hosting parties if I'm not perfectly dressed to be the host ;-)

I've already bought a few things i was missing in my make up and skin care kit, and quite satisfied with the ponds newest white beauty, will review that later after few days of using, but it already feels so great to use, and the skin feel soft and supple unlike the previous white beauty. So, I'm quite keen on trying the other newest products to be lounged in the market soon! Cant wait actually but its not yet salary time for me and I've already made holes in my hubbies pockets! hehe..

I'm not a person who would pounce on every new product out but it doesn't harm to try the products i think products are essential for my make up and skin care kit... I'm loving the new colossal kajal from maybelline and wow, my eyes don't bleed anymore! ow I'm eyeing the newest range of lipsticks from Revlon... lets see what I'm able to get my hand on.. till then I've got to browse thoroughly for reviews if i can find any to avoid getting my money down the drain as the price of cosmetics are soaring high, would would consider jewellery instead but till my get my hands on those new lippies I'm not resting in peace! Wait for my reviews! :-)

I've known a lot of my friends have who have enrolled in training courses for a better career, especially when it came to a medical career, because this is the only one you'll make a difference in others lives But it doesn't come easily, and involves lot of hard work and dedication even before you begin the actual journey into your profession, with the required training and courses. So have you considered a consultant interview course lately? One of the flagship courses at Oxford Medical. They've trained doctors from every medical and surgical specialty, and the courses offered by them are management courses, interview skills, etc and are one of the largest development companies in the UK!

The medical teaching course helps to monitor learning abilities of the learner and through a behavioral observation between teacher and learner and helps teachers customize learning exercise after identifying learning deficiencies.

The medical management course is for doctors who working in primary and secondary care and wish to receive formal training on management and leadership.

During the teach the teacher course one can learn a lot covering topics like teaching skills to know your audiences, learning styles to know how your learning skills effect your teaching, and effective listening to know how well you listen with the help of group exercise.

Miss my sister baby sis Amanda(Mandy) who turns sweet 16 today and wondering what shes doing today as she might be celebrating her birthday at the boarding but i wont be able to wish her, coz when we are not even able to meet her, talk to her, or even share sisterly affection being so close yet so far... i wont be able to wish her but on this day i would like to tell her to reach for the stars, never settle for less, and live life to it's fullest.. i'm sad i cant wish you but i did dream about it which means I live reality in dreams, strange but true... we'll be together some day, and we'll make up for all the sisterly love, and fights we missed...and want her to know i'm thinking about her and that i love and care for her... :) :(

Update- 9.am, 27th Oct
The day isn't over so i wish you dear sis, Happy Birthday once again... God bless you Mandy, may you pass out of school with flying colors and i wish you all the happiness of the world... i'm happy for you, even though your are away and i miss you so much and i keep remembering your childish habits and love for dance, and music like me, but you've got to study hard and reach new heights we'll all be proud of... its a whole year since i've met you and dying to see you again... we might be away from each other but you're always in my heart, in all our hearts... we share a bond that nothing can sever, always remember this... i know one day we'll be reading this together and i want to say, i still remember how i danced in the middle of the fields in school on this day many years ago when i heard of your birth! i was overjoyed coz you were what i always wanted, a younger sis, and dint get peace until i saw you for the first time on reaching home from school... Alisha resembled you as a baby! you both looked like Chinese dolls, pink, chink and chubby, and i see you in her when i miss you but i need you sis! So be good, girl, study hard and stay away from trouble... i hope your day was filled with lots of love and laughter... take care, from all of us here :-)

How many of us believe in retaining youth by natural ingredients in the food and drinks we consume on a daily basis? well im sure all of us do! But do we have the knowledge and enlightenment to understand how of what properties of foods we consume we are benefiting from? All the food we consume provides us with health benefits but most of whatever we consume, helps us benefit towards our beauty as well! Did you know raspberries contain ellagic acid, a well known cancer fighting antioxidant, but it also helps to protect one brain from injuries and we all know head injuries will over time, lead to the rapid process of aging! So a few raspberries a day will do you good my friends! Fucoidans even have aesthetic properties to help improve skins elasticity and reduce signs of aging.

Have you wondered about the role of free radicals in the aging process? A theory conceived suggested that cumulative effects of free radicals causes brain damage over time resulting in aging. So antioxidants are the best solution proven by experts to exert beneficial effects on various organ systems and to prevent or reduce the symptoms of many diseases and also retain youthful looks and slow down the aging process. While some antioxidants can be found inside your body, some can be obtained from dietary sources. One product to help you maintain your youth is Youth Juice, which can be consumed to retain that fresh look you and help reduce aging signs as you go about your activities neglecting yourself of a healthy lifestyle. Care for your beauty that much as you do for your health!

Tomorrow i'll be even more sad watching all the celebrations and fireworks going off on roof tops!! The first ever Diwali i'm just sitting at home doing nothing!! miss my siblings like anything... wish i could join them... but yeah, we'll make the best out of times wasted at the end of the year, and with this thought at least i'm quite excited now... for those busily celebrating, wish you a happy and safe Diwali :-)

This is the festival of lights i'm talking about, celebrated across India.. coming up on my next post in details!! :-)

Sometimes you feel like you are living yet dead, when your body roams the earth freely doing all of life's daily activities, but your soul, it keeps wandering in an unknown world screaming out to someone to hear you, to hear you, hold you, lend their shoulders to cry on, wipe away your tears... you cant set yourself free nor can others... if they might hear you or not... but then, you realize there is no one who will set you free no matter how much you scream out loud or in silent echoes!!!!!! No ones going to see you even if your cries are loud enough... yes sometimes they might see you but not the real you... they'll all see you the way they want to... and deep inside that battlefield of rain-forests somewhere you are a tangled mess of intertwined vines and you can help but just remain invisible!!!

Here are two videos which best describe my feelings... Song writer Skylar Grey croons 'Invisible' while Evanescence's lead singer, Amy croons 'Bring me to life'... I hope you enjoy the videos and have a happy music monday... :-)

We may fail, we may fall... but we must learn to pick ourselves up no matter what.. :-)





[Verse 1]
I take these pills to make me thin
I dye my hair, and cut my skin
I try everything, to make them see me
But all they see, is someone that's not me

[Chorus]
Even when I'm walking on a wire
Even when I set myself on fire
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible
Everyday I try to look my best
Even though inside I'm such a mess
Why do I always feel invisible, invisible

[Verse 2]
Here inside, my quiet hell
You cannot hear, my cries for help
I try everything, to make them see me
But every one, sees what I can't be

[Bridge]
Sometimes when I'm alone
I pretend that I'm a queen
It's almost believable

Feeling a little down and too emotionally exhausted but better in health today, not that i'm completely recovered but got to push myself to do things i don't feel like... still got fever and body ache, feels as if my bones are being crushed between boulders! I'm also developing a mind blockage, cant seem to find proper words to express what i'm trying to say, but of course i can understand i'm being ignored, thing is cant even understand how people can ignore you when you've been their pillar of strength at one point of time. Seems as if there is guilt within them...

Things don't seem to fall into place for me... wonder if i'm asking for too much from others! People just deny facts and lie up to your face and that is what gets on my nerves when people don't own up to mistakes! Rather blame others for their own faults and its definitely not fair on their parts but at the moment just got to have the patience to see what falls into place soon... got to watch my steps, for if i react and it doesn't go well with others, might spoil the whole scenario i created! So lets just smile with teary eyes and keep the game on......

Seems like it raining too many hailstones on my this year again. The weather is not at all good to me, coz even though it rains heavily nurturing mother earth, i'm not being nurtured but shattered to pieces! Fever, aches, and cough seems to have raided my body giving me the chills of never-ending 'missing you's'... i miss so many people in my life at the point of time when i don't even know which shall win over, life or death! All i can do is pen down and vent out....

Every time i think of new life, i never even next to it and my life turns bitter with every new chapter i begin with... for every chapter i flip over has its bitter sweet memories, and its lessons taught and learned. But i don't want to talk about chapters now, its about my health which i've always been neglecting wasting my energy on useless things! Got to incorporated a healthy lifestyle once again into my daily routine for how it was last year, i would have been mellowing in glad tidings by now... for me to hint and you to understand ;-)

And once again i will have to withdraw from certain things i walked into too hastily without thinking... i will not walk away but give time to myself and everyone else to understand what is what before finally deciding further...

Happy Birthday to my beautiful 5 year old daughter Alisha... my darling angel turns 5 today, not yet i guess... she was born at 3.30 am! This is her Birth Story... she's the one who lit my life, and showed me a whole new world... wherever she goes, has heads turning to admire... shes amazing, chooses her own clothes and even knows the meaning of technique! While the world complains about mischievous kids, mine is the calmest kid i honestly have no complains about... i have people saying if child marriage was legal, would get their sons married to her!!! She can smile and win my heart even if i'm at the point of giving up... no words to express how blessed i am to be her mom... and she is no doubt, the greatest love of my life...! :-) God bless my little girl... Love you my doll... :-)

A special day, a special year
and so this brings to you...
Warm congratulations
and the best of wishes, too...
For you're a special Daughter
and no matter what the day...
You're thought about with lots more love
than any words can say.

With Love
on your
Special Day

With brain fluctuations as if a light bulb keeps flashing in my head which pains, fever, vomiting, cough and body-aches i'm going to go insane in the next few days! i sense so many things about to happen to me... but i don't want to repeat another year of treatments and torturous medicines so what going to happen only the one above knows! This year hadn't really taken off well with lot of incidents occurring and too many snakes to handle but somehow managed to wade through it all with quite ease, as least i'm where i am without being harmed! I realized it's not God who's given us tough times but it's our own actions and decisions in life which places us in the position we are in....

We don't blame God when good and satisfactory things happen to us and thank him for the contentment... but we blame him for not listening and answering our prayers in unpleasant times, but what we don't realize is that, what is life if there is no suffering... after all one learns from mistakes when temptations strike and gains from the pains you endure!

Whatever it is, i hope and pray for happier times ahead... Happy Sat/Sunday everyday! :-)

One more week to go for Alisha's 5th Birthday! The day a Chinese angelic looking pinkish baby seemed as if dropped into my arms from the heavens above on the 18th of Oct. She bought into my life much delight and happiness and today whatever is left of my happiness is because of her. A girl had always been my dream and so was my dream fulfilled by the one above whom i know has a hand in one of my greatest dreams coming true. I never knew what was to be born a girl or boy but longed for a girl and it was strange that though i never really knew what gender was taking form in my tummy i had already kept a name ready for her. Not once did did i think a boy would be born, as i always referred to "she" and "her" while talking about the baby inside me. I already had my son and now longed for a daughter whom i could dress and she was born much to the image of what i had of her!!

I would to share my birth story, and i will, so my dear readers do tune into my blog for a mothers birth story of her Angel on the 18th of Oct! Cya all for now........ :-)

The only diff is my fairy tale never has an ending! Now that's for me to say and you to understand my readers! he he...

With the latest Google pr update i'm not in mood to let angst eat me for petty matters of the heart, yet i am so damn peeved with the fact that despite working much harder than what i used to last year, i am still made to taste Googles bitter penalty!
I wonder where i went wrong or its just an update which is still in process and due to that the none of our blogs pr is available. Some are showing as N/A... so just hoping its not a drop!

Its almost a year i had an intact pr3 so its extremely disheartening to wake up to it suddenly vanishing one day! But then i discussed with a few friends and they think the same of the update still in progress and that our pr would be restored once Google's done.

With my fingers crossed i think i should pen of here...

Oh, i just love this song... just like i love every song of Celine Dion's. Good beats and a great voice, with beautiful lyrics! A brilliant love song :-)I was feeling so low, the feel of darkness taking over, an emotion i've been living with since years... but when i tuned into my youtube, Celine like an angel greeted me with her exceptional voice. Her voice never lets me down coz every track of hers has something to touch you with. Whether your dealing with the loss or loved one, a break up or even a bitter relationship... Celines songs have always soothed our hearts when we need her too... and once again she is an angel to me...

Hope you all enjoy the song and have a great Musicmonday ahead :-)



live my life like a runaway
I hide my dreams in a special place
I'm waiting here for my prince to come
To save me from the darkness

I count the nights, I count the days
The ways, yeah
Don't wanna fight, it would be in vain
So in vain, so in vain

I can run but I can't hide
It's because... I'm living in the shadow of love
Yeah, yeah
To me you are the only one I dream of
I'm living in the shadow of love

Your love surrounds me, it's everywhere
It is my shelter, it is my air
A moon eclipse and a burning sun
Make a shade just for me

For you I wait forever and a day
Yes I would
To be there if your love should come my way
My way

I can run but I can't hide
It's because... I'm living in the shadow of love
Yeah
To me you are the only one I dream of
I'm living in the shadow of love

Too many nights, too many days
I've hidden from the sun
And though I've tried to break away
Your hold on me is just too strong

I love you in the shadow of love

I can run but I can't hide
It's because... I'm living in the shadow of love
Yeah
To me you are the only one I dream of
Cause I'm living in the shadow of love

It's because... living in the shadow of love
Shadow of love, yeah
I can run but I can't hide
It's because... the shadow of love

Welcome October! so we have stepped on the month i had been waiting for... time to put in our cottons and pull out the woolens! Its also the month when the Autumn season begins. I begin writing a poem about the season but i've left to complete for i need to really focus on intense emotions to write unlike now... i'm a bit gloomy, but not that intense when i can focus on my emotions and pen them down.

Lets see what tomorrow will bring for this caged bird as i will be going out to a heritage Plaza in my city named Swabhumi. A home bird who hardly move out of home when walks in open space would surely bring eyes upon me as i feel like an alien being stared at. But anyways, i love shopping there at the part apart from admiring the place with all its olden calcutta architectural history as derived from a legend and feasting! Mouth watering pani puri (We all love it, don't we, esp the calcuttans :-)) and other other traditional Rajasthani, Gujarati and South Indian dishes, and more, are served, tantalizing your taste buds such much until you savor them contentedly!

Here is where you get the best, people say who flock to our city during tourism visits or relatives visiting. But let me tell you that most of all the shopping is what i love. What attracts me most is all the traditional stuff you there, i never get to see anywhere else in the whole city. There are also programms and events which take place at the courtyard, and its a delight to watch the clowns walking on stilts come up to you and shake hands esp the kids who are most of the times frightened! Aryan as a kid was always scared of the clowns and so is Alisha when she is the same age as Aryan was as a funk! Hehe..

A great sense of peace and calm is what i get from this place... so it's a must to visit at least once in few months at least if i cant possibly make it every month :-)

And so we are bidding goodbye to a month that was paved with thorns and a few roses, with a river of tears and wee bit of happiness. The month of September had seen me on an emotional roller coaster, with outbursts of harsh and cold feelings, and sometimes on the wings of a dove... but as i keep saying that its a part of life! Don't know what will October bring for me as but for sure i always get nostalgic about things gone by. But hope to see a new September when it comes around next year :-)

On the 18Th of next month my Alisha will turn 5 years, OMG! i just cant believe how the years have flown by... she was a little baby in my arms and now she is one talkative girl blossoming into the flower i want her to grow into. She can talk so much that it leaves me amazed sometimes, if i'm hearing the same pinkish little Chinese baby i bought home from the hospital :-)

Its been months i have written about her... how i wish i could sit and pen down everything i remember in these months... all the milestones... some maybe i had even missed out being so busy! Phew! But yeah come her birthday and i would be the happiest mom to see my daughter touching a new one! Her fifth birthday! Welcome everyone, to the party of the 18Th :-)

Today is my elder sisters birthday, and i couldn't help but pen a poem for her in just a few hours when i realized i should do something for all the love and support she has bestowed upon me in the years since childhood and even adulthood! She has always been the best she could to me and i am so grateful to her for being that whom i can look up to when i needed my mom. So i thank and wish her the very best of everything...

I'm truly proud to be your sister, Faus... Thanks for being everything that you are... May you have a blessed day... Very Happy Birthday :-)

Dear sister, wish you a very happy birthday...
Here is an unpolished poem/note straight from my heart :-)
I thought only wishing wont do as i need something more to say
So i won’t lose a moment coz it’s a really special day
With love and warmth, and my heartiest gratitude
I want to thank you for everything you say and do...
So much i wish for you, the world of beautiful things
May you be blessed with, heavens eternal bliss...
We have grown up as three (sisters) separate lives
But in spirit and mind we are secured as one...
And though you may have fed me cheese when i was born
Never mind, coz u have a hand in the beauty queen that i am! ;-)

You are someone i can always count on coz i know you really care
Like a spring rainbow, our relationship is extremely rare…
With you i share a bond which is utterly honest
And it’s so true that sisterly love out beats trying times of test
Coz Of all the love you can find in the world
Sisterly love and bonding is an in born gift,
This is beyond compare to one a stranger would mould!
God created you one of a kind, none a candle can even find…
And you my dear sister, you are truly my best-est friend!
You are a blessing, an angel, a part of my life
You are everything my drying petals need to thrive
For me you are beauty with brains at its royal best!
Your wisdom is honestly what i admire inside
The inspiration to comprehend things unable to figure out…
You can be the greatest sister savior when i need you the most!
Your calm reaction, your love and thoughtfulness, your forte
To our family a light of guidance you've always brought

Out of all the pretty unique flowers in my garden
You are no doubt, the beautiful-est of them!
So much we have shared, those laughter and tears
I’m thankful when i remember how you banished my fears…
They say friends enter into your life at different stages,
From strangers to friends, sometimes they come only to go
But our friendship was the oldest,
And with time will continue to grow...
I may not always say or do things in return for what you've given
Coz love between sisters need not be proven... :-)
We may have squabbled and argued over contrasted views
But we are still together; something’s burning on the news!
I stored all the cherished memories in my heart, of you
And believe me; i've so many more to look forward too...
Now its time i end here with lots and lots of love
Have a good day, a wonderful birthday week ahead...
May he bless you with everything in abundance, the one above :-)

Happy Birthday to the best sister in the world!

Was in for a shock yesterday when i tried logging into my blogger dashboard coz to my disappointment i was greeted with a page error! I had loads of pending work and was unable to connect to blogger... no site hosted on blog-spot was opening too. Was frustrating as ever and it was then i was regretting not having my self hosted on blog-spot! I wouldn't have bothered if there no assignments to be completed but then i did have and was in a dilemma whether i was the only one facing the issue or were there others too! I also posted a status on my Facebook wall but i guess none of my lovely friends did notice... hmmm.. as i always say everyone is busy updating their own, so its ok! I was relieved by my hubby in the morning, (its my morning the same time we have our lunch) who informed me as i awoke from my sleep that blogger was working fine so i need no worry any more. On hearing those words i jumped out of bed to check and only when i saw it with my own eyes was i relieved from heart! I gave a slight sigh and went on to do other house activities.

Thank god i did have a few hours in hand, its an added bonanza i guess... if not, i would have been doomed for sure! Thanks Social spark for the extended timing, and blogitive too!

Enjoy the pic below... lot of times i find myself positioned in the same situation! hehehe...

Sometimes we may be warned about the side effects that some medicines or pills act on us but we pay no heed to the advice given by the news and warning over the television. The television is no doubt an idiot box and we are often times carried away by the advertisements but not always, sometimes we are aired things we mustn't overlook because not all information passed on by the media to us are false. Sometime in the news i came across this news that Crestor which was designed to lower cholesterol was actually equipped with the medicine to help a person on his way to death! Now, at times like these when risks are that high we sometimes don't know where to turn to, who would understand us that these injuries are not our fault and that these effects are the results of consummation of a trusted drug! But alas, we find no one to listen... Not anymore!

Now it’s very easy to file a Crestor lawsuit for something you need no feel guilty about! Information about Crestor- it was was marketed to treat high cholesterol and prevent cardiovascular disease, by AstraZeneca but it is it scientifically known to be linked to serious side effects! Rosuvastatin was also sold under the trade name R2.

I hate Networked Blogs! phew! they don't seem to auto syndicate the feed on time and if they do, hours later, or else some errors prevent the darn feeds from being pulled in at all, and i hate doing it manually! Think i got to move away to a new found island... Blovin is great! Cant rely on NB, tried but in vain... :-(

Every time i try to auto syndicate my feeds on to my Facebook and twitter but nothing doing, i still get the error email which frustrates me a lot because then i have to look it up and do a little of this and that, which i hate doing. I thought it was so easier... But Bloglovin is a community which not only notifies you of your favorite blogs being updated, can also use it to syndicate the feeds. So its a great new found community for me and you can try it too :-)

I had watched this video about two years ago while browsing for Music mondays, but i don't think i ever posted it. Wasn't into it then as it was only the 80's and 90's that captured my heart but suddenly when i watch it again after years, something tugs at my heart and so loved watching this interesting video, again and again. Ne-yo, is already an adored singer, love his style. Keri's dancing makes me envious of her, what steps, wish i could dance the way she does! Don't know what made me kept hitting the rewind and replay button, coz on the whole i found it an amazing track :-)

So, here is Keri, Kanye and Ne-yo for you... enjoy the vid, the lyrics are below and have a happy MM :-)

Such a beautiful and meaningful song, and this version sung by Ronan Keating is even more touching, reminds me of Elton John. I was so into the song for a few hours that i even penned a poem, a dance balled coz it felt as if i was dancing with my partner all alone under the moonlit night, but with the birds and night creatures as the audience. The words might not be connected to a dance thingy but the music was so slow, haunting yet melodious and i got the words into my mind perfect enough to fit into a poem... lol...

For guys, you must dedicate this song to your love interest or your spouses... i'm sure she will love and pamper you even more! ;-)

Hope you enjoy the video and wish you guys an awesome MM week ahead :-)



Sometimes late at night
I lie awake and watch her sleeping
She's lost in peaceful dreams
So I turn out the lights and lay there in the dark
And the thought crosses my mind
If I never wake up in the morning
Would she ever doubt the way I feel
About her in my heart

If tomorrow never comes
Will she know how much I loved her
Did I try in every way to show her every day
That she's my only one
And if my time on earth were through
And she must face this world without me
Is the love I gave her in the past
Gonna be enough to last
If tomorrow never comes

'Cause I've lost loved ones in my life
Who never knew how much I loved them
Now I live with the regret
That my true feelings for them never were revealed
So I made a promise to myself
To say each day how much she means to me
And avoid that circumstance
Where there's no second chance to tell her how I feel

So tell that someone that you love
Just what you're thinking of
If tomorrow never comes

Something seems to overpower me once again after months i feel myself on the verge of breaking down again... on the verge of a deadly battle between heart and mind. I've struggled to pull myself together during the last few traumatic months, and throughout the terrible year and finally got myself together to face the world. God help me get rid of this anxiety, these fears, the negativeness and the anguish that seems to overwhelm my soul. Calm the restless sea within me...

There has already been a fight in the past few months, i have lost a lot and i don't want to lose again. I don't want to take a chance where i know i might just give myself up as i see my heart breaking into pieces scattered all over the place. My heart feels like its been shredded and crushed for reasons only known to me. The waves have been crashing on my tender heart for too long now and its too much to bear... And somewhere between those pages of life i'm losing myself... I'm not able to calm. Let me calm.... i need calmness... peace of mind

On a night when the weather is just perfect, and a bowl of flavored butter pepper popcorn to go with it, what else could be the perfect way for family entertainment! nothing else for me, coz i get to comfortably cuddle up with family on the couch watching that much awaited flick on Tele or the latest movie released which i'm were lucky enough to get my hands on!

But one thing that irritates me is the fact that sometimes i'm actually out of stock for popcorn at home and especially when i'm just about ready to settle down, i find this out! No matter how much i tell my hubby to stock up packets, we always fall short of popcorn which happens to be my favorite movie snack! This is the time i think i should invest in a popcorn machine! I should pick the pop corn machine for home use which is affordable and ideal for smaller gatherings when i have visitors at home. The smaller 4 oz. machine is ideal for kids while the bigger 8 oz is ideal for entertaining elder guests.

Aside from popcorn machines i should also take interest in the cotton candy machines which is apt for my daughters taste buds, she loves candy. Epopcorn is the best online site for more information if you are interested in snack machines too. Machines for business uses are also available!

I have seen a lot of people talk about Karma on their status's on Fb and finally got to see it visiting someone in my own circle who has been very unfair with me over the years... it must have been an angel visiting when i came across the person which wasn't quite the case when i thought it was, and no one is ever saved from tasting karma. Its natures way of showing you what goes around comes around!!

The ground i was in a few years ago, i see the person standing on that ground looking towards me and i cant help but turn away coz i can actually do nothing about it and sometimes its good for people to learn a lesson they deserve.

Last but not the least thing i would like to say, i don't think i should be happy enough seeing the person in the helpless state they are in right now but i just cant help but convince myself that there is nothing i have done and its just karma's doings. That the sooner they realize how bad it hurts to be in the same shoes, the quicker would they be saved from bringing sins upon themselves by hurting others.

Don't know what made me say this despite the fact that i'm always a little saddened in life for reasons only known to my heart, my best friend in dark times like this. Its not like i lack anything in life but i also miss my mom aside other things, and its those memories that at times make me utterly sad, and depressed when i think i want to talk to her and share some of my deepest secrets with her but then i cant. So, if were with me today i would be many times happier... :-)

But somehow i'm not the one to discourage my friends when they're sad for whatever reasons, and i went ahead and commented on a friends status on Facebook, the lines below, and its so true that i meant it from my heart at that time and even now. Its because i also cherish the past and i have collected a lot of the happy times as precious memories which i do think of to help me deal with the painful present. I wish him (my friend) all the happiness in the world... :-)

Life is meant to cherish the happy past and not be saddened by it, experiences are never repeated because life is meant to discover and explore new experiences to add to your bouquet, which in times to come, will be your gathered basket of happiness... imagine all that happiness? :-)

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Beign with you gets me that way
I watch the sunlight dance across your face
And i've never been this swept away
All my thoughts just seem to settle on the breeze
When i'm lying wrapped up in your arms
The whole world just fades away
The only thing I hear
Is the beating of your heart

CHORUS:
Cause I can feel you breathe
It's washing over me
And suddenly i'm melting into you
There's nothing left to prove
Baby, all we need is just to be
Caught up in the touch
Slow and steady rush
Baby, isn't that the way that love's suppose to be
I can feel you breathe

In a way I know my heart is waking up
As all the walls come tumbling down
Closer than i've ever felt before
And I know, and you know
There's no need for words right now

CHORUS:

I can feel the magic floating in the air
Being with you gets me that way...

I cant believe August is no more, we will be welcoming it back again next year but then who knows whether they there will a next year or not! life is so unpredictable... i just keep hoping and praying i get to see another August since it has always been an important month in my life. Its like we were enjoying 31st July, our wedding anniversary and suddenly we are over with 31st August!

With June, July, August gone, we are just a few months away from Dec, the Christmas month! So exited from now! And soon we will be ending year 2011, welcoming year 2012! It was like as i had celebrated Christmas and new year just a few days ago but then its months past since and i am still sailing in an unstable boat!

Lets see what Sept and the remaining few months bring for me, i hope lots of everything ;)

Eid Mubarak to all my friends and everyone celebrating Eid worldwide, from my home to yours... On this auspicious occasion may all Muslims be guided by their faith in Allah and shine in his divine blessings... And may Allah bestow glories, successes and happiness's to you and your families on this occasion and always... :-)

Now having a great day at home feasting on delicious sweets prepared by my in laws but its seems to be quite a quiet day for me coz my kids have gone visiting their grandparents and they aren't back home yet. I seem to be missing them a lotttt! When they're home, sometimes i have to scream at the top of my voice to quieten them but now that they're not here i'm somehow missing that noise they create around me!

We will all be going for continuous outings for the next few days and im happy to take some fresh breath from the hectic week that went by shopping and for the Eid preparations!

Eid Mubarak once again, and i hope you are enjoying this occasion spreading love and peace everywhere around you.... :-)

Sometimes when i walk on the road i see a lot of unprivileged kids roaming around here and there and i wonder why did God dispense such a life to these people known as the poor? Why is the rich getting richer and the poor even poorer... i feel really disheartened that all i can do is watch them... sometimes my heart goes out to the people who i see have no parents are they are compelled to be brought up by harsh parents but those kids are luckier than those that have No parents! This song relates to my feelings today... be ready to shed a few tears if you have a heart :-)

Happy MM all my loving readers.. have a great week ahead :-)



As I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day.
And stopped there for a moment just to watch the children play.
Alone a boy was standing and when I asked him why
he turned with eyes that could not see and he began to cry.

I'm nobody's child
I'm nobody's child
Just like a flower I'm growing wild.
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smile
nobody wants me
I'm nobody's child.

People come for children and take them for their own.
But they all seem to pass me by and I'm left here all alone.
I know they'd like to take me but when they see I'm blind
they always take some other child and I am left behind.

No mommy's arms to hold me or soothe me when I cry.
Sometimes it gets so lonely I wish that I could die.
I'd walk the streets of heaven where all the blinds can see.
And just like all the other kids there'd be a home for me.

Firt go here to read how i celebrated Eid 2010, the best year and Eid-ul-fitr year before last So, yet again we have arrived on Eid-ul-fitr which marks the end of Ramadan. Also known as 'breaking of the fast' when the new moon will be spotted. The festival is considered one the biggest and important festivals of the Muslims. A time to celebrate with joy the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting.

Eid-ul-fitr significance and celebrations :
Eid ul Fitr or the 'festival of fast breaking' is the most celebratory of all Muslim festivals. The term 'Eid' has been derived from the Arabic word 'oud', which means 'the return' and hence, signifies the return of the festival each year. The festival is significant as much for its timing, as for its religious implications. It is celebrated after the long fasting month of Ramadan (the ninth month of the Islamic calendar), on the first day of the Shawwal month of the Hijri year (Islamic calendar). Legend says that the Qur'an was revealed to Prophet Mohammed in the last ten days of Ramadan.

The month of Ramadan is historically associated with two important victories of Prophet Muhammad - the battle of Badr and the conquest of Makkah. Fasting during the month of Ramadan, according to Islamic beliefs, helps in developing self-control and is a way of getting closer to Allah. The festival of Eid ul Fitr marks the beginning of celebrations and merriment for a period extending over three days. Women prepare sweets at home and all Muslims are seen adorned with new dresses on this day. Eid ul Fitr is synonymous with joy and thanksgiving. Such is the spirit of this great festival that even a lot of Non-Muslims participate in Eid celebrations in India.

India is the second most populous Islamic nation in the world. Muslims form India's largest minority and constitute almost 12% of the country's total population. Islam is also the most recent religion added to India's already potent cultural concoction. Islam came to India in 12th century AD and began interacting with the Indian culture, particularly under the Mughal era. Needless to say, it was a mutually enriching experience. A majority of Indian Muslims reside in the north, but a significant number is found all across the country. Hence, their traditions add yet another dimension to the vast cultural landscape of India.

Quotes from the Quran:

1. He is the One GOD; the Creator, the Initiator, the Designer. To Him belong the most beautiful names. Glorifying Him is everything in the heavens and the earth. He is the Almighty, Most Wise. [59:24]

2.Those who believed and led a righteous life are the best creatures. [98:7]

3.Their reward at their Lord is the gardens of Eden with flowing streams, wherein they abide forever. GOD is pleased with them, and they are pleased with Him. Such is the reward for those who reverence their Lord. [98:8]

4. O children of Adam, we have provided you with garments to cover your bodies, as well as for luxury. But the best garment is the garment of righteousness. These are some of GOD's signs, that they may take heed. [7:26]

5. Your Lord has commanded that you worship none but Him, and be kind to parents. If either or both of them reach old age with you, do not rebuke them, but speak to them in terms of honor and kindness. Treat them with humility, and say, 'My Lord! Have mercy on them, for they did care for me when I was little'. [17:23-4].
