Boys Vs Girls. . .

its so funny how certain things are taken for granted...

stupidly driven car --> must be a lady driver

pretty girl --> must be dumb

dumb act by a boy --> must be a sardar

& nobody raises their voice against it... it is so accepted.. universally...

<-- this caught my eye... im sure, its caught your eye too... i mean it is all over facebook... & im sure... you've all had a good laugh too... & i even am sure, many of you, googled it too.... why are women so ???

but did any of you try this... why are boys so GROSS! -->
i did... & of course, as expected... had my share of laugh too :D

The Waves. . .

Every time I write fiction... the women have had varied characteristics... but there has been 1 similarity amongst all the women I have mentioned... their lovely dark curly/wavy hair... every time a make a woman's sketch... she inevitably always has curly hair... you may wonder why... but I know why... its because even though I crib & complain most about the weight & hair woes... i still love to eat... & i still love the length on my hair!!!

Yes, i am not the drop dead gorgeous kind of women that men love & women envy... but i do have my way around men & i do have 1 thing that a lot of women envy... Being a southie, i am blessed with BEAUTIFUL dark locks... yes, they are unmanageable at times... but i know women who think that i go to salons to get my hair fixed... curly hair is the most prone to roughness... breakage... dryness... frizziness... split ends... the curlier it is... the more unmanageable it can be!!!

My Hair - when i play it into curls!!

Some things that work wonders for us... the curly types include...

* OLIVE OIL... I've heard about it... but i still am a coconut oil person... Southie you see... the point is... oiling your hair can help you get rid of roughness...

* The Wide toothed comb... yes our hair gets into a fight with combs... so why hurt them with the narrow combs... use wide toothed combs or plain & simple fingers... i even twist & turn & play my hair into curls when wet to manage the curls....

My Hair - When i open it post pleating!

* Shampoo twice a week... not more... not less... ive tried a plethora of Shampoos... some bring temporary relief.... but nothing permanent... the shampoo that suited me the most --> Dove Dry Care...

* Leave ons... i used to use Livon... it helps in managing the hair a bit... but leave it & the hair becomes even worse... believe it or not... i have researched like crazy & tried a million things to manage the curly while avoiding the frizz.... the cheapest worked the best for me... body lotion & i really mean body lotion... helps set your hair without damaging the heck outta it!!!

* Trimming.... i love my length... & hence i get a trim just 2X a year... but that is not good enough for curly hair... so i hit a pair of scissors & get rid of the split ends on a bright sunny day!!!

* Tie it up... i keep my hair open in the day... but the hair is the safest when tied up... so make sure you keep your hair tied up as much as you can to avoid the damage... but curly/wavy hair takes the shape in which it is tied up, so be careful about that... i pleat it up mostly, so that if i have to step out suddenly, i can simply open it & i am good to go with my lovely waves in place!!!

An Apple a Day... Keeps the Berry at Bay!!!

Have you ever regretted words that flew outta your mouth? i dont mean the bad words... everyone regrets those... i mean, the big promises that are soooooo outta reach, but you still make those in anticipation of good times??? stuff like... when you promise your baby sister that you will throw her birthday party... & because you are a woman of your words... you throw that party & end up so broke that you cant throw a birthday party for yourself the following month... well... i could not celebrate my birthday... but thankfully, at least my sister had a celebration the way she wanted!!! regret it for self... not the whole picture!!!

so... i bought a blackberry in august this year... & my sister accompanied me when i bought the same.... shortly after i got my BB, she started saying that all her frenz are askin her to switch 2 a bb too... (well, ive changed 13 phones in the last 9 years... 9 of these were bought for valid reasons such as losing a phone or it died for whatever reason... the other 4 were because I JUST WANTED THEM!!! Nokia 7610 & 5800 express music were 2 of those... blackberry was the 3rd & 4th is...... ... ...) & i dunno what made me say it, but i remember saying it so clearly... when i get my iPhone, i will gift you this blackberry!!! yep the 4th 1 is an iPhone!!! the BB was with me for just 3 months - 3 days!!!

I know a lot of people who own a BB would go like... why why why? how can you LEAVE a BB??? how can you leave BBM?? well... but thats all that it has to it... it IS a corporate phone... the best of the breed in terms of emails & calender sync... what push it has... so robust... you can literally have a bus run over it without losing a key... but damn man.. does it hang.... & the forever take out the battery & place it back... pheew!!! + BBM... most of my frenz who are on BBM are ALSO on whatsapp... so nothing lost there... can easily stay in touch... dammit even the messages are free man... big deal with the BBM... in fact, im kinna thankful, i dont needta see the same forwards coming from the entire list & the "broadcast this or 10 years of bad sex" messages... Seriously... Blackberry vs iPhone???

after the Nokia 5800, i had become a touch person.. the hard key pads are not for me anymore... i love the iPhone.. yes, you BB lovers, i LOVE THE iPHONE BETTER ANYDAY... yes, it is fragile, but, all that BB is that iPhone is not, is robust... i know you would say you cant customize ringtones, alarms etc... wake up... Apple store... apps to fix those... but, frankly, i dont mind the Marimba... + iPhone is a media consumer's dream... movies... music at ease.. the sexy bump to exchange... motion gaming... i mean, bow down to gaming engineering here man... it has the BEST TOUCH...  the capacitive touch & motion sensing... AWESOME... i mean, finger zoom in & pinch zoom out... CRAZYYYYY... what storage... CPU... RAM... the sexiest GUI.. its super hip & trendy TOO (the show off factor)... bye bye BBM, i dont miss you... Whatsapp it is... & not to forget the best thing... PC like web browsing... \m/

Not only do i not like iPhone better because of its looks, feel & utility... i actually also save Rs. 300 on a monthly basis... cuz i dont need the 399 BB plan anymore... all that i need is a Rs. 98 Internet plan... all said & done, BB is great... but it is so corporate... iPhone is better... it so is ME!!!
