SWEETS and SAVOURIES!!!!

hey all!!! im back again :)

today im share this incident that happened with me again and again...and is still happening...

im not a sweet or savouries eater. but of late i have been indulging myself in to eating lots of sweets and savouries. how this change happened?????
well, i had gone with my mom to the busiest side of Chennai. the main market area. and there as i was feeling thirsty and hungry...mom took me to a hotel near by.
at 1st when i saw it...i wasnt much impressed by it. as it was plain....no major interiors, or uniforms for the staff...no AC....just a very simple and plain looking hotel.
we sat....ordered snack (samosa, almond flavoured milk and some local savouries) to eat.
when the staff got it in plain looking steel plates, i was just off....but the moment i had a bite................all was gone.
ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..................lovely!!!! yummy!!!!!!!!!!! that's all i said and thought.
i was actually enjoying the taste of snacks and the milk was just so tasty that i had another glass of it. :P

then we went to the inner hall where mom and i saw big stalls of sweets and variety of colorful sweets displayed......the service was fantastic. :)
well mannered staff...polite and also smiling faces!!!!

they offered us a variety of small bites to taste before we finalised on the sweet we wanted to get packed for home. and trust me.....in the name of taste i actually was enjoying the process of having all variety for free :P

quite an cheap behavior :P but come on.......the sweets were so tasty. i just couldnt resist myself from having them.
the owner came out...and very simple looking man again and smiling face.
very intelligent, polite, calm and down to earth. he helped us settle on the variety v wanted and personally went inside the stall to pack it for us.
also gave us his card with number so v could get back with suggestions or comments.

they also have food...and catering services. they also do door delivery, but that depends on the amount of the order.
and also have an web site coming soon for services. :)

it was a wonderful experience and a very different one as well.

when i came out of the hotel, all i could tell mom was..........thank you! you have helped me break the image of simplicity and show off very easily and neatly.
this hotel isnt big...not expensive either...but definitely worth the money we spent. unlike the star hotels were all it matter is the rates and ambiance.

the best experience till date.......

name of the hotel:- RAMKRISHNA BHAVAN
                             Chennai
                             (opp. high court)

do try it if u guys in Chennai and if u ever visit Chennai......this place is worth the visit.

take care all!!!
god bless u and keep smiling :)

VARANASI !!!!! :)

hey all!!!
today im gonna share this most fun loving trip i had with my sister in north India.
VARANASI!!!

yeah, this is the place i went along with my sister. only the 2 of us...and what fun it was.
the whole of trip v were traveling an traveling. but also enjoyed :)

our flight to Lucknow was from B'lore...and bcos v were in Chennai v had to travel to B'lore to catch r flight.
wake up at 3a.m to get ready and leave by car to B'lore (5 hours journey).
reach B'lore and caught in the traffic, some how v fought the traffic and reached the airport.
checked in and wat do sis and i do......shop!!!
girls!!! u cant expect much :P

inside the flight...v slept like a log. 5 hours flight....B'lore to Lucknow flight is never direct. connecting flight, had a stop at Delhi. but luckily no change of flight so v slept through the stop as well :P

reached Lucknow at 6 in the evening, uncle was waiting for us. had some Indian deep fried snack along wit tea. head to "Sitapur" small town in U.P are home. :)
again fight the traffic in Lucknow and the trucks traffic in the highway and reach Sitapur....took us lotta time. reached at around 10. bro, sis in law, aunt, grandpa...all welcomed us wit love. spoke spoke and spoke till 1 in the night and slept.
woke up at 4.30 and headed to Varanasi by 7. looooooooooonnnnnnnnnnggggggggggggggggggg................drive. reached around 3 and v were so tired and exhausted of the drive. also....v hadnt stopped anywhr in between so the 1st thing v wanted was to use the loo :P
after  reaching Varanasi v had to search for the relatives house. task!!!!
search got over around 4 and this was the worst situation. both of us shamelessly rushed to the loo as soon as v reached home thr.
relaxed.....and then it was a full on fun trip. evening v aimlessly roamed the streets of Varanasi. next day...temples. most of the temples.....and again streets in the evening :P
again the next day temples...and evening at another relatives place.
again the next morning was at temples and the noon v had to travel back to Sitapur. so it was a long long drive again followed by travel again on the next day.
v had to get back to B'lore....so it was again the same travel plan. sitapur to Lucknow. then to Delhi...and last B'lore. and in B'lore...as the flight was late, v reached reached late.
when v reached B'lore, v were tried. still....v shopped again :P
behaved like fools i tell u.

then had a night train to Madurai (small town in Tamil Nadu). our birth place...home!!!
so basically......from 18th April to 23rd April, sis and i only travelled.
when v got home all v could think of is......AC and r bed. sleep deprived, lack of proper food and only travel. body was exhausted and so was r mind...so v took good amt of rest and were filled with energy again to only end up planning another holiday :P

well....yeah, this is how cranky sis and i are.
but fun it was i tell u...may b u dont feel it while reading this. but it was.
and im gonna cherish it till life.

take care all!!!
god bless u and hope u all stay safe and happy always :)

astrology and beliefs !!!

hey all!!!
back again and today im gonna write on a topic that most of us just dont understand and if v do....its basically the saga's r elders give us.
anyways...so let me start.

astrology:-

what is this all about???????? birth charts.......planet positions........tarot cards.........palm reading.......face reading........predictions according to various things.....signature analysis.......etc.
so many that i hardly remember. :P

but well........honestly, i hardly understand these stuff or believe. cos the cowards believe such things to satisfy their ego or blind beliefs. not the strong headed ones....v believe in doing and making things fall in place for us and r future.
anyways......i pray. i believe in the being of 'the almighty' so my tensions and problems r taken care of.

i know many people who just blindly believe in these astrology related stuff......and astrologers. and its funny......
they share each and every bit of information with these people without giving things a second thought. i mean......y would anyone discuss family matters in detail with a stranger??? just bcos he/she is doing some form of prayer for u.....or bcos u believe that they are doing some form of prayer for u to end ur problems in life?
its bcos.......v humans believe. when someone says pleasing things in r ears v tend to melt and believe him/her and follow them blindly, which then forces us to discuss all r personal matters with them in detail.

i say.....its risky, unsafe and very stupid of us to do so. there are certain things that r meant to be within the family and try to find out solutions ourselves.
after all god has given us this human form in which v are blessed with the power of speech to speak out (good, bad, problems and all emotions freely) and a mind to use it wisely. v humans have gifted ourselves with education.
so all these good things put together, cant v solve few problems on r own? instead of discussing all r personal matters in detail just bcos v believe they r doing good to us. and not to forget....that believe isnt proved to us, its like an illusion. the astrologers say and v believe cos as humans v r thought to fear god since a child, and so raising finger on a astrologer who is by the way messenger of god....is wrong. a sin!!!

i say.....people, v r educated and have good/bad qualities in us to do some good to ourselves and few around us and strength to bare a little pain in life. and so instead of blindly believing in strangers, please believe in urself and live life to the fullest.

past, present and future was all decided even before v came to this world. so its no point v cry over r past, not live r present in fear for r future.
if ur present is good...ur deeds are good....u can never have a bad future. u just gotta be good, do good and spread good to have a lovely life.
all kinds of emotions r a part n parcel of life. v have to face it...live with it and learn loads from it.

think about it...and rest is ur take on things in life. im no one to force anyone for anything.

take care all!!!
god bless u!!!
