LOVE

It was love at first sight. I have been spotting him a lot now in and around the place where i live. He is so small and cute and comes in various colors,though red and black are my favourites.First it was a crush but now its an obsession. Now meet him Mini Cooper : )

I dont have a car of my own,we have a family car. He seems to be very expensive so right now i can't think about owning him.. But the day will come when i will get to own him.. My very own'' FIRST CAR''.

DEEP THOUGHTS

I have been wanting to post about this for a long time but this being a sensitive issue,i just needed my time to think and put it into words.

This country which is called the Land of opportunities and which has large number of immigrants and whose President is an African-American still discriminates people according to the race.I'm not a citizen of this country but my daughter is and i fear for her,will she be racially attacked due to her color,her race? And i'm not talking this just out of the blue.I have a reason,you would have seen in my previous post about my school friend who was on a business trip to the states and she was treated badly by the hotel employees and this was not any small motel,it is one of the famous hotels and the receptionist spoke with his manager on the speaker phone of how these''indians '' behave? I have a doubt ,my friend was near this guy and she could hear the whole conversation.What was that guy thinking? Did he think that she does not understand English? Well,just because we do not have an american accent does not mean we dont understand English.This was my friend's last day in the states and she felt very bad and when i asked her to complain to the higher authorities.She just said" I just want to get back home''If it was me,i would have definitely dealt it with it differently.

On another instance,this happened to another friend.. He was told straight on his face '' Go back to your country'' and he was too shocked to say anything but an American friend of his came to his rescue and gave a piece of her mind.But sadly not everyone steps up when something like this happens.

I have made this country my home and i will not accept any kind of racism happening to me or anyone for that matter. I do not dicriminate people according to their color,sex or religion.
Just like my friend said '' I sometimes feel i'm not home and that aptly describes our status in this country '' Resident Alien''.

I know this is a sensitive topic but i would love to hear your thoughts on this. What would you do if one of your friends is racially attacked? Will you step in? What's your take?

OM SHANTHI !!!!!!!!

If you are wondering what that means ,it is a prayer for peace and thats what i have been telling a lot lately.I have joined a Yoga Class and thats what we say when we start Yoga.The first day of Yoga class,i was kind of lost ,i didnt know what to do.The other students were doing advanced yoga poses and i was falling over here.I was so discouraged looking at all these women who were much older than me ,having fab bodies and were doing many complicated poses as if it were nothing . The next day i was sore all over and had to take tylenol ,it was that bad... The only thing that encouraged me to continue with the class was the fabulous Jennifer Aniston body you get out of it..Do u know Jennifer Aniston's swears by Yoga for her long lean legs and fantastic abs?????.I'm not sure i will become as fit as her but one thing i know im going to die trying : )

I'm still not great at yoga, i still have like 11 classes and i hope by the end of it i will be able to achieve half of that fabulous body i want........ ok i know that wont happen but i promise to continue to do Yoga everyday ; )

Happy Weekend Guys!!!!!! Om Shanthi!!!

JENNA GOES TO SCHOOL

Yes! Its been two days... Jenna started pre-school from Monday.I have been waiting to put her in pre-school for months since lately she has been watching too much tv,not much activity except for the My Gym classes every week.My neighbour told me about this montessori school near our place and it seemed the best fit for her. She got this adorable Kai-Lan bag for school and was very excited on the first day.But the moment we reached school and she knew that i would be leaving,all hell broke loose... She started crying and i felt so bad and i teared up a little too.I couldnt bear to leave her and when i got back home and the house was empty i regretted my decision for sending her to school,to rub it in my mom said that Jenna was not ready yet and im just rushing her .Today is the second day and the teacher said she just cried for 5 mins and she was playing today.Thats an improvement for sure....


This picture makes my heart break,can't believe she is going to school now,it seemed like yesterday i held her im my arms for the first time.. makes me all weepy : (

MAKE -UP WOES

Ok! Here i go,i dont know to put on make-up.Period.When I see all these lovely women who look so pretty and even teenagers who wear beautiful make-up,i feel so embarassed.My idea of make-up till now is my Revlon eyeliner(kajal) and Maybelline lipgloss : (

Till last week i didnt even own a lipstick.So this year i have decided i'm going to learn to put on make-up.Its been on my bucket list.I have been looking around for people who give basic make-up class and i think i'm going to join that. They charge 35$ for a class .

I dont own a make-up kit,but i'm excited that i'm going to shop around for some basic make-up essentials.I will definitely update my progress on the blog.If you are a make-up pro ,let me know the ''must have'' in every make-up kit.So that i can buy them.. : )

My idea of make-up is nothing over the top,something very natural and subtle like her Aishwarya Rai .

This is a picture of her during Oscars 2011 ,she looks so damn pretty..No wonder she is called the most beautiful person on earth ......
