Two most beautiful words in the English Language : "Summer Afternoon"

Sunlight beamed down from a clear blue sky and twinkled off a million dewdrops, giving a fresh, newly washed appearance to trees and grass around.

Lazing on this sunny afternoon, I have a plate of  watermelon in hand and I consider it as one of life's great pleasures on a hot summer afternoon...
Let me present Watermelon cheese salad this afternoon :)

Now, this salad is incredibly delicious and very unusual...;)

This salad is ultra simple. I cut up about half a small watermelon and toss it with a few things to bring out its flavor. A dash of vinegar balances the sweetness and makes the salad even juicier.

This salad is best made right before serving. Made just a few minutes before serving, the watermelon is crisp and fresh, and the cheese creamy and bright. The mint isn't just a garnish; its taste penetrates the watermelon quickly.

To me, this is up there as one of the ultimate expressions of summer. ENJOY!

BeFoRe I WrAp Up My dAy ToDaY (26, April 2013)

I'm a woman, we are not puzzles. We're people, and we appreciate, perhaps more than men. Let us look beyond the familial, societal and cultural mould that has shaped our personality so far in this life.

It has been found that women with higher levels of estrogen are more competitive and will get more thrills from winning thus leading to more risk taking. Our body is designed in such a manner that it functions to its fullest with the right proportion and mix of hormones. Research has revealed that when female athletes are in the heat of competition, their bodies secrete more testosterone than in non-athletic women.

However, this is the not the topic I intend to blog before I wrap up the day. I day dreamed a fabulous dream and my fingers couldn't stop hitting my keyboard as soon as I got back from work.  So my dear friends, I have a deepening question this day… Are we are what we are, do we do what we ought to, do we believe in real us and do we have the zeal to make the real us? Here’s a list of what I summoned as to being born as a GIRL beats it all…. :)

NUMBER 1: This is what every Women dreams of:  Falling in Love 

NUMBER 2: Women love attention (Winner-Image Perfect website: Voted by 4 countries :)

NUMBER 3: Women love to have a little fun 

NUMBER 4: Women love to know that they are attractive

NUMBER 5: Women own their feelings

NUMBER 6: Women remember nicer things (my special 2012 birthday cake, Thank you Hubby :))

NUMBER 7: Women enjoy a wide variety of wardrobe choices

NUMBER 8: Women tend to enjoy a wide variety of hair styles and dyeing options

NUMBER 9: The feeling of a linen skirt on the legs on a breezy summer day is the best..

And lastly, being a woman is great because I am one among them....^_^

All about Me and my Blog! ;)

Dear readers,

See, here’s the thing: this blog isn't about me. It’s about sharing views, highlighting interests, hauls, tips knowledge share, all of which are pretty interesting topics in their own right. 

Will it work? I think so. Is that a good thing? I’m not so sure.

Practically speaking, yes! On a more philosophical point, however, this blog is me. It’s my voice, on one hand, and my beliefs on another. 

Let’s get this show on the road, shall we???

My birthday (14 Nov) I've been very concerned about revealing my age, since I figured being young(ish) might distract the readers from the ideas championed on this blog. Who knows? Maybe the response to this post will prove me right. I’m expecting it won’t, though, and also anticipating at least one comment that says “Who the hell cares?”

Las Vegas is one of my favorite cities in the world. 

My favorite movie is Pursuit of Happiness & Twilight Series

Speaking of writing, I used to have some pretty wild goals. I figured I’d have my goal orientation was different. I am not perfect but what’s wrong in expressing!!!

I can speak English, Nepali and Hindi fluently (apart from English). I am horrible at understanding native speakers, though! :P

Music? I love it. There are exceptions, of course, but I dig a lot of the music that the world generally agrees is classy. I’m not saying it isn’t classy, but if it makes me travel to a different world, I just might love it forever.

I love comments. I do. More than I should, honestly, and more than is probably healthy for a blogger. I understand why so many bloggers are closing their comment sections, but I’m not sure I like the idea of speaking to a silent audience. The idea that someone — someone I don’t even know — took their time to respond to something I wrote is just a huge thrill for me, and I honestly don’t know if that’ll change if/when I start seeing more negativity and criticism pop up in the comment section.

I’m married. That’s not really relevant, I guess, but I’m sure most of you didn’t know that (or even care!), so there you are.

I’m scared of death. I don’t really know what else to say about that. I don’t think I can accept the idea of not being alive — of not knowing that the world is going to continue to change without me. I realize, er, that’s a bit morbid, but the thought has been weighing on my mind a lot recently.

I know exactly why, too: I’m worried that I’ll somehow pass away without making a difference in the world. This is one of those situations, though, where my fear is driving me forward, where it’s pushing me to take my destiny in my own hands and make it as meaningful as possible. That’s a good thing, I think.

I’m a big baby. Yeah. It’s true. I wrote a post about it, actually, where I admitted that I tend to get emotional at the strangest things. Music and movies is one of them. 

I believe in change. I don’t care who you are or what your situation is: if you’re unhappy, change it. There’s always a way, if you’re willing to look for it, and I — and so many other people — would be happy to help.

Connection between our thoughts and our mind...

I honestly believe that there is a strong connection between our thoughts and our minds. I had allowed my mind to be trapped into negative thinking and speaking. Maybe influences were one of the major forces that dragged me into the horizons of negative thinking. I became an extremely negative, sour person to my best friend whom I mistakenly thought was my greatest competitor (academics as well as other grounds).

Somehow I defined my own philosophy of "if you don't expect anything good to happen, then you won't be disappointed when it doesn't." and started ignoring the bonding that I shared with her under various influences.

Unfortunately, I landed up with many disappointments. When the realization dawned, I was afraid to believe that anything good could happen between us. I had developed a terribly negative outlook on everything she intended to do for me. My mouth wasn't going to get straightened out until my mind did. I am thankful to almighty that things have straightened the setbacks, dusted myself off, and it’s a fresh new start again. We are good friends now and I would like to cherish this special bond till life’s dusk.

So friends, thoughts has a deeper impact on your mind... I am sure many of us would have faced this cruel fact of life. Its a MIND-Game after-all.... ^_^
