Be Bold Stay Real!!!

The minute you hear that someone is 'Bold', what comes to your mind is someone rash, fear free and in all probabilities someone who breaks all the rules.  In simpler terms, someone who does not care about what the world thinks or how it reacts.  It is like these people are not trying to please anybody in this world, except for themselves.  This would make us feel that they are self centered people, while that might not be correct entirely, but yes to an extent these people do think about themselves first but in a good way.  We are talking about such people, people who are real because of their boldness, people who influence the society around them because they are bold and stay real.  

Just yesterday I read an article which mentioned that Debenhams has vowed to remove the 'air brush effects' from their models.  This picture actually surprised me.  I was aware that some editing work happens, but I was certainly not aware that it was done to such an extent.

I Say Dare!!

"This world is going to ruled by crazy people" - I have absolutely no idea who said that, if you know fill me in please, if nobody said it earlier then please remember you heard it on SuKupedia first :D :D

Ya so coming back to the world and crazy people, I am serious about what I said.  If you don't believe me then go visit IndiBlogeshwaris, every SHE over there is a Queen, and the best part - there is no king yayyyy....It's a 'all women' place 

You cannot even begin to imagine the hungama there :D.  I am only a day old, and I can hardly log out of my Facebook account now :P :P.  

Illustrious Istanbul

The essential act of war is destruction, not necessarily of human lives, but of the products of human labour - George Orwell

When Mr. Orwell said this he might have seen some city which was reduced to a pitiful state because of some war, is what I think.  Because that is exactly how I felt when I read about the latest protests in Istanbul & other parts of Turkey.

Last year in April, it was for the first time that me & Ritchie were away from each other for such a long time, after being married. It was 4 months and it felt like ages.  So we decided to meet up somewhere in middle. Istanbul seemed convenient.  Ritchie would come there from Stockholm and I was to join him there from India.  Indians holding Schengen visa are offered visa on arrival in Istanbul, hence that was not an issue for an impromptu trip like this :).  Ritchie reached before me & had completed his visa process.  When I reached the visa counter I saw him through the glass partitions on the other side, and trust me that waiting time seemed even longer than the 4 months & 10hrs travel I just had.  The minute they stamped my visa, I straight away ran into his arms, and then from the corner of my eyes I noticed he had collected my luggage from the luggage belt.  I was rather shocked, because that was a new suitcase I had bought & he had not yet seen it, so how on earth did he know it was mine!! On being asked, he very sweetly replied, "Sweetie, I just picked up the largest suitcase.  After all who would bring all this luggage on a 4 day trip!" :P :P
