My First Web Series of 2019






              I am not a huge fan of web series, but a few that come with high recommendation, I do watch it. But this year, I just finished the first web series - 4 MORE SHOTS PLEASE - Season 1. 
4 women - Truck Bar - Their Lives. One cannot miss Milind Soman in this series, though he isn't one of the main characters. 
I enjoyed this series to a certain extent. Was a good watch. 
Now curious to see what happens in Season 2 , because season 1 ends in a cliffhanger for all the characters. 


Even when in Love - Remember The Fab 5





                  Some of us forget the world when we are in love. For those who do, here are a few tips,

1. Don't give up on your friends
2. Never leave hobbies
3. Keep your family close
4. Don't forget yourself
5. Love yourself

It so happens that when in love, we tend to focus on the person so much , that everything else takes a back seat. 

Next time, while you feel things are slipping away, remember - it is time to remember the fab 5 points.


Another New Author





                      A few days back, my aunt and we were discussing new authors we have imbibed in our reading schedule. In that conversation came out - David Gibbins name. His name caught my attention and my ears perked up. I quickly googled and realized I will like his books. 
He writes Archaeological and historical fiction and this is one of the genres I absolutely enjoy. My aunt lent me the book - The Tiger Warrior. This is my current read and I will gibe my review on this book once done. stay tuned till then!

Pieces of the Puzzle





                    I was having my weekly conversation with my sister. While we were in the midst of a very profound discussion, I happened to tell her this. Hence, thought of blogging.

Most of us in life have a big picture in front of us. After this picture formation, we then start looking down on the pieces the puzzle in our lives. We are so immersed in staring at the pieces and trying to fit them, we forget that we are trying to fit them where they don't belong. Sometimes, it's not the picture that we foresee that is important, but the pieces that should fit the puzzle. We cannot change the shapes of the pieces, we can only fit them in the right place. 
So is life, we are always trying to sync the picture and the pieces of the puzzles, but we forget that we are trying the pieces in incorrect places. First fit all the pieces beautifully together, automatically, you will see a lovely picture that is formed in life.
Life becomes a little less chaotic when the pieces fit where it is rightly to fit. Beautifully chaotic is always a nice place to harp on.


Visit to the Hills





               Yesterday we visited the hills - Chamundi Hills. After a long time, we went to see Chamundeshwari. I have climbed the steps of Chamundi hills before, but this time we were driving up the winding curves. 
We bought special darshan tickets and managed to enter the shrine. Those few seconds in front of the goddess was so fulfilling. I barely got 10 seconds in front to her, but those ten seconds were impacting. Something about visiting temples which is so calming. There are people everywhere, people pushing you in line, people pushing you to see the goddess, but all is forgotten when we get that 5 seconds also in front of the god.
If anyone ever plans a take, do visit Chamundi Hills to see where Goddess Chamundeshwari resides. Pay her a respect!

Movie - Total Dhamaal






                Today I watched Total Dhamaal. After contemplating between Gully Boy and Total Dhamaal for today, chose the later. But I must say, I wasn't disappointed one bit. 
Thoroughly entertaining, this was a total time pass movie. Witty dialogues and crazy humor, there was not one dull moment throughout the movie. Not to miss, Madhuri's amazing pink ethnic waist coast and those chunky oxidized jewelry. I just couldn't take my eyes off her jhumkas, bangles and the neck piece. A hilarious journey to fetch cash when it all ends in a zoo. A real wild yet witty adventure. 
If one wants to switch off from the real world for 2 hours, then please go and watch this movie. It is a laughter riot. 

Recommendation: High
Rating: 4/5

Next week, hopeful to catch up Gully Boy!

Fantasy Fills





All of us have our guilty pleasures and I have mine too. I absolutely love eating Dark Fantasy Choco fills. These are my biggest guilty pleasures. Not to forget the intriguing name it has. 

The first time I had in was way back in 2012 and ever since these have been my most favorite. Each bite leaves me wanting more and its an addiction that I just cannot resist. Having said that, I do not binge eat them. But any day, these would be my pick.

Some Questions are Steely








                    I was having a conversation with one of my friends today and she popped this question,
"If you had a choice between a great career and marrying the love of your life, what would you choose?"
This question kept haunting and unfortunately I have no answer. 
But, if this question was tweaked,
"If you had a choice between career and marriage, what would you choose"?
This question I can easily choose. 
But how would one choose from the above choice - Love or Career? I would personally choose both, because a career is something we strive for and love is essential in the marriage. 
Now my answer would be, to choose someone with whom I can grow my career. 

Think it over!!
