Review: Yeh Jawaani hai Deewani

Well it was a long time since we had been to a first day first show movie. But we took this risk as we had loved Ranbir and Ayaans combo movie 'Wake up Sid', so did YJHD meet up to the expectations?

Well I would say Yes and No.

Unlike the beautiful storyline of Wake up Sid, YJHD has no story but four beautiful characters.
As usual hats off to Ranbir, he is charming and his acting is wonderful. Its definitely his movie. Even Kalki and Aditya Roy Kapoor have acted very well and Deepika looks beautiful and has an innocence throughout the movie, not much scope in acting but she looks so good that no-one will notice her acting skills.
The surprise package in the form Madhuri is very good. Even though the song "Ghaagra" is badly choreographed, her graceful style of dancing and expressions and not to mention her smile overshadows all flaws.
The story is a typical love story and sadly each part is predictable except for Aditya and Kalkis portions.
Wake up Sid was very practical and each scene could be related however YJHD has loads of Karan Johar elements to it and just when you start liking one scene, the Karan Johar factor comes into picture, maybe that was the mass pull drive strategy for the movie.
In the second half,  the movie starts getting boring for almost half an hour but then takes off soon.
Ranbir is a bankable actor and he is so good, no doubt that he is gonna be the next superstar of bollywood. He deserves full credit.
In fact each character has played their best, the scenes between Farooq Sheikh, Tanvi Azme and Ranbir touches your heart and even a Dolly Ahluwalia brings a smile to your face. The songs are good and likeable.
The chemistry between Ranbir and Deepika is soo good that you silently pray that why don't these two get married in real life, but reel life is not real life :)
Well, its definitely a one-time watch, you smile, you have tears in your eyes, you laugh and you become nostalgic through out the movie but it all gets over in the theatre!
So after watching the movie unlike Wake up Sid which stayed in my heart for some days, I had nothing to take home after watching Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, except for some scenes.

Back to the Blog World!

Its been seven months since I blogged...do i have a reason for not blogging..Answer is No, but I also knowthat these seven months were dull, may becoz I never wrote my mind. Its always nice to have a platform where one can vent out their thoughts and so finally I decided high time I hit my blogging mode...Right or Wrong, Good or Bad,  let my thoughts flow...

Happy 5!

Five years back, in a Friday @dot 6:27 AM, my little son came into this big wide beautiful world.

Today, again a Friday, I got up @6:25 AM, saw my son peacefully sleeping alongwith his dad and felt blissful to the core. At 6:27 AM, I wished him and thanked God for all these wonderful moments.I really don't know what kind of mom am I, not a perfect one for sure, but I hope that "A" and I bring up this child wonderfully, just like the way our parents brought us up.We turned out to be fine, though I really don't know if I would have the same kind of patience which my parents, had during my teenage days...that reminds me that I should start meditating so that the clutter in my mind settles down by then.
Anyways, "K" : thank you for coming into our life and making our lives so wonderfully beautiful.
Happy Birthday my little one!We love you as ever, forever!

Mama to son!

He came quietly sucking his thumb

“Saapadaraman” said the doc smilingly

A quiet, sweet and nice baby

Who is going to be five year old, wonderfully

Don’t remember how life was before

This is definitely the life we yearn for more

He brought so much love with his smile

We are definitely ready to go that extra mile

Each day is a new beginning, each night has a wonderful end

Thank you so much for coming into our nest

Life is definitely at its best!

We are never tired to answer your 'whys'

Nor get bored playing the same games every night

Wish I could make times wait, and read out to you all stories again and again

Stories of Pepper, morals of  Bruno

Stories of Ganesha and naughty Krishna

With days, months and years passing by

I tend to crave the second goneby

Oh how I wish I remember … all of these details forever!!!

Thank you K for coming into our nest

Life is surely at its best J

Journey of my hair/Tress-Full Life : Healthy to Unhealthy to Healthy

“If I want to knock a story off the front page, I just change my hairstyle.”
― Hillary Rodham Clinton

Are diamond every girls best friend, nah I think genuinely its our hair, beautiful hair!

We have good hair days and bad hair days, during good hair days we definitely feel on top of the world and so confident about ourselves, and on bad hair days, well lets not talk about it.

From the time I remember, I always had good hair days and bad hair days, but its now that I have started analysing each part of me. As I look back, I realize that I was never kind to my hair.

When I was a teenager, I changed shampoos like weather, based on all kinds of marketing gimmicks shown in the idiot box. I was still lucky that my curly locks were in good shape.

College days were the same, when I had enough pocket money I would try out the most expensive shampoos  in town, and when I was bankrupt, I used to used the cheapest sachets available...how mean could I be!

Work life began and life was challenging as I needed to prove myself in this rat race. During that time, hair was the last thing in my mind and was completely ignored. Once in two weeks, I used to the nearby parlour and get it washed, never bothered to check the brand as I did not have time for all that. Time was completely devoted to build knowledge, powerpoint presentations and excel sheets!

Soon I met my prince charming, we were crazy of each other and soon got married. We started travelling and for each weekend get away, the victim was my hair! My locks had to undergo temporary straightenings and different hair styles!Poor Poor Hair!

Life became busy and soon we were blessed with our wonderful baby, again I did not realize, that there was someone struggling quietly...my beautiful tresses.

Life was a juggle then, I had to balance my work and home and it was a mess. Forget about good hair days and bad hair days, I was in a mess my hair fall was bad, as and when my hair was falling and leaving me, I would say well I am under stress.

It was during those days that I introspected my life. I hated myself and decided to take care of me because until I dont love myself, I will never be able to love anyone genuinely!

My poor hair was then dry and almost lifeless but thankfully,mere ankhen khuli at the right moment. I decided to start off with the natural way and started using my Grandma’s techniques. I started using hibiscus flowers juice as shampoo, for six months. I used to get up early to make the juice and apply on my scalp. Soon I saw my hair regaining its texture, however, I knew that this cannot be a permanent solution as I had to travel to various places on office assignments, and I will not be able to make hibiscus flower juice in Brussels. Then I decided to be loyal to one product, I did my piece of research by talking to my family, friends and reading a lot 

I decided that my friend for life is going to be Dove range of products, it was easy to choose Dove as from the time I remember I have always been using Dove soap(thankfullly I was loyal to somethimg! J) 

So Dove was it. I started with Intense Repair therapy and soon switched to Daily shine range and yes, that was the end of my hair problems!

Today my hair is healthy, I always gets compliments from my friends, they keep asking me the spa I go to, for hair-wash, and I tell them its home sweet home J

Funnily today when I watch the idiot box and see the new reporter with wonderful hairstyle, I dont feel anything, infact I wonder whether they are taking good care of their natural hair. I am!

Experience is the best teacher!!!
