Age appropriate dressing!!

 

we were at party ..on Saturday,usually all parties or gatherings are on weekend due to our busy working schedules..so we happened to meet some friends, some relatives and some extended families..
..this was a party at banquet hall ..with a good gathering...and the dress code was mentioned in the invitation card......Men in suit and women in sarees..well if you dont have a saree buy one or just stay away..it was very clear and I think there is nothing wrong in that,its a respect to the host.
 In that party I noticed,.. people don't know to wear age appropriate clothes..Like this lady in her fifties or may be little more..was wearing a Saree with huge floral print ,very bold ..(I thought who is this phoolwati?(flower girl))with big chunky jewelery ..and a big flower in her hair(fake one)..Hilarious!! my hubby looked at me as I giggled..he said"everyone has their own choice"...true..I agree, but still I think with age comes grace and with Grey hair such bold makeup and jewelery ..its like a laughing stock!
then came this guy...probably the only one...wearing a coat with jeans in formal party... the color of the coat was Maroon...looked like he had borrowed ... to attend this party....living in US..cant afford a Coat?..we have sales all around year,every store has formal coats or suits ..its matter of spending..
A women in early forties  dressing up like a  twenty  year old girl...I mean.. what the Heck!!does it look good..trying to be a chic...your age shows up from your face ,ever if you have those streaks of highlights!
then there are girls in their early thirties dressed up like "this is the last day to dress up,you never know about tomorrow"they will wear whatever is available at home..all hair accessories.. lots of bangles ..chunky jewelery ..Oh my God.."jewelery shop"
now the teenagers...they will wear moms saree..its like wrapped around a stick ..and an ugly hair updo..bright eye make-up..whether it suits your skin or not...more like a witch ...my little one I was holding said"her eyes are like monster." I turned around before she could hear! ..seems like her mom was busy in her own hair accessories and other stuff.
I think dressing sense comes with environment and upbringing ..then with our close friends we try to improve and make choices ...its not just money that matters...I had seen in that same party...people who are jus average middle class and other side  rich people ..dressed very decently..there is no fixed criteria ..as to who will dress better regarding income,or religion, race or age..its very personal...and most of the time girls pick their way of dressing from their mom...
I think whether its a male or female..age appropriate dressing is must...it gives you a due respect and you create an example for others!

corruption!

 
 Somebody had recently sent me an e-mail  of some pictures of india's ex-telecom minister rajas palatial house...
which could have cost ed the  national treasury up to 40 billion dollar....But seems like the corrupted Ex-minister wanted lot of money to build these palatial houses ....he is sent to tihar jail ...now he seems to be enjoying the luxuries behind the bars..
India's biggest ever corruption scam.Look at the pictures here ..its like straight out of a catalog...its surprising how  this guy had made money in millions and owned these kind of properties....

Police have since raided the homes of Raja, who denies any wrongdoing, and other senior telecom ministry officials and questioned them at length.hope..he never come out of that cell!

Think before you vote!

Pizza!

the most lovable food in every house hold...when there is no time to cook,or when your sick or there is no grocery at home ... its pizza day!
every nook and corner there is pizzeria...and all of them get business!one of my Egyptian friend introduced me to Mediterranean pizza..which has all kinds of cheese  (feta cheese) and veggies..Its different...but only if could digest so much cheese...its good!!otherwise chances of getting stomach upset...for sure!!
then comes My very very fav..pizza hut, king of pizza(my personal opinion) ..specially the deep dish ..I prefer veggies more then chicken ...but kidz ..they like pepperoni ..my personal fav is Hawaiian pizza..with pineapple and cheese..no beef..I don't eat one!
the second best is Jet pizza...specially the barbecue squares with chicken...(its like chat papdi of india)..(lol) which is sweet and spicy..its awesome....
then the third one is Domino's...which is kinda ok..only if its steaming hot..try with spinach and some veggies..its Awesome!!... for those who haven't tried their oven baked sandwiches...try it..its 
 
very very good..if you like chicken..its Italian sausage...but if you like veggie then its Mediterranean sandwich...they are jus sumptuous...try steaming hot and fresh!
then there is..Little Ceaser...for five bucks...its good but little dry!I haven't tried lately..as my past experience was not so great!
next is Hungry Howie..which is cheap..cheap...not so good!
Papa Romano...so on and so forth....many pizzeria...

The famous Chicago pizza....which is very different....the top layer has nothing but instead a stuffing made for pizza....its very tasty...try this weekend if you haven't ever tasted....(its like Indian stuffed parantha)too good!

California kitchen..pizza..which is little different in taste and more crispy...then other pizza;s....its nice and thin..good for waist and keeps calories down!(depends what you order)

Toronto has lots of pizza to offer..in Indian style...I was bowled over by the Indian variety...like ginger garlic with green chillies...and onions...
my cousin who lives in Winnipeg..Manitoba..says butter chicken pizza is also available...its hilarious...
the Italian style was converted to American to Mediterranean and now Indian...we are not far from that era when we will get....Chinese noodle pizza,sambhar and dosa pizza,saag pizza, and many more!

..men..

MEN...
its a very small word,darn difficult to understand ...what they usually say is actually not meant its exactly opposite of the statement to understand them....most of the men speak less ,unlike women ..but then its very hard to judge whats goin in their mind....
most of the men are very unorganized....like I tell my hubby to keep his stuff after shave inside the cabinet...so that the counter tops are clean...But it seems he never heard...one day I took everything and threw in the trash can...next day when I saw ..it was again taken out of trash can and kept on counter....and he never complained..as to why I threw in the trash...as a matter of fact it was"I am going to be like that"accept it!

...I looked out of the window ..and saw our neighbor...in the kitchen,his wife was with a laptop on the dining table...he gave her a cup of tea with some snacks and then went out with a lawn mower at the back yard....then after he was done mowing..he took a bowl of marinated chicken and on patio he barbecued and then both of them were enjoying dinner... I was doin exactly what that guy was doin..I told my husband see..how he helps his wife...my husband who was also watching this sitting on table....said("salaa vehla")he is idle..got up and pulled the curtains ...saying" I need some privacy"..and peeping is considered as bad!

they dont like shopping and usually avoid goin to malls and stores..I said "look there is sale" .."president day sale"he said...every thing is available on line at half price let me know if anything special you need...I said nothing!hell with this websites!

....they will keep listening to you..But actually they are not listening ....as I told story one of my friend who is going to get married ..within fifteen days...all the shopping and events goin on at her place.."he said ok so how was the marriage ..she is happy?..I was ok....then to correct himself he said...actually I meant to say "she will be happy after marriage God Bless her"

they are glued to TV or computer all the time... as my voice goes up ..he will raise the volume of the Tv..and say...why do you shout? I say you dont listen....see the reason I have  to raise volume...he will smile when he says this!!
.....most of these creatures ...called men are very lovable in-spite of  the mis-demeanor...wives or gfs still love them ignoring flaws..and I guess that's how we learn to accept each other without putting conditions
A-Men

No Excuses....

 (these are all my personal thoughts and I have worked on it...it brought many changes in me and my professional life....it has helped me a lot...I am sharing it with you....)

 Most of the time we meet people who  give vague excuses its kinda inexplicit which is sometimes hard to believe...Lame Excuses of all kind and most of the time I think What for? these excuses..you are not fooling anyone but yourself....
....can never reach their destiny ...the hidden potential will never come out,its not an excuse but creating hurdles for yourself...all lame excuses..Gawd!! no apparent reason jus to show that they are good but  misfortunes can be with anyone...No ,its not a misfortune but our own weakness to hide our faults and try to convince others by all these lies..think!!!....does your conscience agree??... to this..Look around see how many people are  successful with similar qualities ,or education or  age...you will find many ,but you are not in that category..Cuz of your excuses...
 its all those excuses made you lethargic ,Dumb and completely ignorant that these excuses leads to a path called HELL....Rejection is faced,self discipline is lacking .Abusing others,criticizing or mocking ...shows how frustrated this person is,when you cannot reach your goal you consider others responsible for it,even your own parents...But its actually you!! that needs lot of spanking!

Motivation
when there is a self discipline and no room for excuses ..motivation begins....there will be no chances of errors and efforts of all kinds to be made to reach the deadlines.Most of the time positive approach and taking full responsibility of every work...leads them to lead the team...
Signs..
when people avoid your company ,or feel you are a big slob..
its time to realize yourself something is wrong...its never too late...
Exercise...
take out all the negative energies and feel fresh....no room for excuses remember that... ..working out religiously!!nobody is perfect in this world,try over to overlook and make your weaknesses  as biggest strength ..try to be winner overpowering the biggest problems...
..Talking to yourself..
pinpoint the biggest mistakes you have done at a particular situation and its results...(never forget that)chalk it down on the scale of ten...ten being worst and one being best...
try to overcome the situation next time by your previous experience and face the problem confidently...
..Resentment...
show your resentment publicly if asked..for your opinion otherwise be quiet and no need to get into any unhealthy argument take a leave if it bothers you too much...be focused and try to see your goal rather then getting into any frustration of any kind!it brings negative energy....
try to help others...now this may sound rude...but work on it and solve the problem, don't bring it home...it will bring all other troubles with it..its a FACT!!
approach...
look at the wider picture of your dreams...and get a feel of it more often which helps you to come near to that reality....sending messages..constantly as off when it has to be done ..keep a target...
whether its money,getting out of debts, gf,wife, all luxuries of life.....YOU WILL ACHIEVE IT!!!
Success...
 it comes to those folks who focus on their dreams and get to work, no excuses and no exceptions. If that’s not you right now, you can make changes that will bring you the success you deserve right now. What have you done recently to eliminate excuses from your daily life.
