Positive quote with red flower on stone table

Beauty is a feature of a person. We often define it as a character of an individual or an admiring feature of an individual that provides pleasure to the other person.

But,is it so?
Beauty is considered to be an outer feature of an individual. Due to which many people have to face harshness of others. If you’re not beautiful, you’re not supposed to do that thing.
Is this the kind of behavior we expect.

I would deny that beauty is an outer feature. For the first impression, yes, beauty is an outer experience.
But the real beauty lies in the eyes, in the soul of an individual. Real Beauty is all about the ideas and attitudes of a person. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder.

Positive quote
Positive quote

Undoubtedly, Inner beauty is more appealing and captivating. People would definitely don’t like the person who is beautiful but cruel and aggressive in nature. Sometimes, we are also attracted by the good words of an individual.

“The inner beauty of an individual accounts for more than just physical appearances.”

If you are physically attractive, it can be regarded to as one of the plus point. But that is not everything one should consider.  Physical appearances should never be overlooked. As all of your confidence comes from within you. The inner self of you reflects your real beauty. Looking pretty from outside doesn’t make you a beautiful person in any way.

    You can dress like an angel, but to really be an angel, you need to understand the difference between the inner beauty and the external beauty.

You don’t look beautiful by dressing up. You’re beautiful for the way you think. Your thoughts make you look more beautiful. Beauty is not about trying to do something. It’s not about doing something which you don’t want yourself to do. Beauty is all about your comfort. Beauty is about accepting who you are. Don’t compare yourself. God has given distinctive characteristics to every person. You should never try to be someone else. Instead accept yourself.

Outer beauty has the ability to please the eyes and readily catches the attention of an individual. But, Inner Beauty is more appealing and captivates the heart.

The real beauty is all about who you are as an individual, what kind of human you are and what principles do you follow, how ethical and moral you are. It’s all about how spectacular you are and how open your mind is.  Real beauty is not about your physical appearance.

Beauty is not defined by the designer bags you carry or the branded cosmetics you use. Instead, real beauty lies within you. It’s a deeper part of your soul. No brand or no accessory can add brightness to the inner beauty you own.

If outer beauty is able to grab the attention, inner beauty is a grace that can make the person look more appealing. Inner Beauty is just like a cherry on the cake.

Looks are temporary. So, is the outer beauty.
Be Beautiful not in your looks but deep down to your soul.

THE MOVIE FLOPPERS

If any of my friends told me this instant that they don’t like watching movies, I will have to start cropping them out of my pictures straight away. Isn’t it a given thing that people like watching movies? I mean I love watching Bollywood masala entertainers (by saying this I am willing to dare the censure of all you artsy type people out there who love watching nuanced movies) Most of the people love to go the theatre and spend their hard earned (well in my case my father’s hard-earned money :p) and splurge. But whatever us differences about the genres we like to watch most of us can agree on one thing for sure, that movie watching should a fun, relaxing experience. However, watching a movie doesn’t depend only on how good the film is (or in my case, how good the lead actor is looking) but it also depends on the people who are sitting around or next to you during the movie. Read away at my list of people who have the full potential to ruin my movie experience:

Movies3

1. THE LATECOMERS:

For someone who is time-challenged and whose organisational skills lie at the lowest rung of the rusty organisational ladder, I admit freely, to anyone who wants to listen, that I am never on time or as I like to call it- being fashionably late (you can hear my teachers clucking their tongues and visualise them shaking their head in disapproval right now). I have been late for all things important- for lectures, exams, and meeting with friends and if I ever date I can guarantee you that I’ll be late for those too. But movies…. nah? Even if the entire cosmic universe force tries to hold me back from watching the opening credits of a movie it’s going to fail. Anyone who walks in theatre late after the movie has started is disrespecting the whole vibe of the institution, I personally fell a sort of satisfaction when I see them stumbling in the dark, trying to locate their seats. These late comers cluck their tongues and give pained sighs when their stumble here and there on their way to their seats. Well what about the vision blackout us normal (on-time) people have to pretend to get when these late-comers pass in front of us giving a nice (totally unwanted view) of your derriere?

2. THE CHOMPPERS:

TYcrOHD

Some people clearly need to get their priorities in check when they come to watch a movie at the multiplex. People who start eating food even before the movie has started get on my nerves. First of all, I am already annoyed because one of the late-comer has stomped (quite painfully, might I add) on my foot. Secondly, how are you expecting me to keep my composure and concentrate on the movie when the person next is chomping down on caramel popcorn and the warm, sweet smell of the popcorn is grabbing my attention? For someone who is always hungry, I feel like this is a well-planned conspiracy to divert my attention. I personally feel the people who slurp their cokes loudly must be marched out the movie theatre since they are warring with the sound system and can be sent by the rival multiplexes to leave the customers disappointed.

3. THE ZOMBIES:

text

I have lost the count of how many times I have seen people buried in their phones when the movie is on looking like (for a lack of a better word) like zombies. First of all, when someone has a light on underneath their face when they are in a dark place makes them look frightening. Are you telling me, that I got ready quickly (smudging my eyeliner in the process), wore mismatching socks (because I couldn’t find and entire pair- my drawer’s a mess) and drove like a crazy bat through the traffic, and came to watch this horror movie (against my better judgement) so that I can die of freight because someone next has a compulsive need to check his phone during a horror movie?

I mean seriously, have some compassion for my nerves will you? Imagine how you will feel, if the police arrive on your doorstep tomorrow morning and accuse you of killing someone because you couldn’t keep your phone down. Death because of social media- I am sure I won’t be the first.

 4. THE HARRASED PARENTS:

babies

You can spot these types of people right away, once you enter the theatre. They are the ones that usually wear a harassed and a hassled sort of expression and have a child on their hip with a bag full of baby things hanging on their tired shoulders. I really don’t understand how is it that babies seem to understand the worst time to cry, causing their parents to get up and run manically out of the theatre trying to dodge the accusing glances of the other people. If nothing else, I must say one has to hand it to the babies since they have the worst sense of timing (but their sense of timing can’t compare to my chemistry teacher who asks me complicate questions just when I am about to dose off in class) since they usually start bawling right in the middle of an important scene.

Here are my list of movie floppers… did i miss any???

 

Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother

More than two years have passed since the American Sitcom bid us a Happy Good-Bye. Shows will come, shows will pass,
The memories of HIMYM are forever gonna last.
HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER
A comedy series, where an architect, Ted Mosby narrates the story of How he met his kids’ mother, to the kids in a very very long (Really Really Long) and detailed manner. Back to back entries and exits of numerous girls had become his daily routine. Some stayed for long, few left in a day or two. He had found nothing sort of FOREVER MINE girl for himself. Ted and Lily have been friends since their freshmen year of college. Lily was dating Ted’s roommate and future best friend, Marshall Eriksen. Marshall expressed his wishful desire to propose the Love of her Life, Lily. This gave Ted too a *Signal* to find his perfect soul mate. Afterall, he was a believer in Universal Signs, until he realized that one doesn’t need them anyway.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
A girl who became one of his most special and favorite persons, Robin Scherbatsky entered his puzzled life. Destiny brought and kept them together even after continuous troubles, heart breaks, break ups and what not! But this TOGETHER didn’t mean Forever as Life Mates, but definitely as Heart and Soul Mates.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
Destiny is too funny sometimes. I and probably many others, still can’t figure out WHY Robin couldn’t be THE Mother. They say, it happens exactly opposite to what you predict or expect. It’s true maybe. It’s Life maybe.

I guess I’m missing someone. #waitforit. It’s the most amazing, most amuzing, craziest, funkiest, a philanderer, yet the most LEGEN Waitforit DARY person of the show, Barney Stinson.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
He truely marked the awesomeness of the show. His dialogue, “Without ME, its just AWESO.” was just so true indeed. The one without whom Sarcasm felt lonely. The one without who’s advice and company, no incident could get the spark of Awesomeness. Well who can forget the SLAP incident. This suited-booted flirtatious guy was like a bullet of laughter in the gun of mockery. Still he was one of the most amazing and caring person by heart.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
It wasn’t merely a TV Show, but an amazing book of lessons for life. Its episodes, situations, the break ups and patchups and re-break ups and patchups taught us alot about the miseries, pleasures and tragedies of life. It taught us to take chances, make mistakes, accept challenges even if we are aware about the result. Even if we know that the end is DEAD, doesn’t mean we cannot enjoy the ride. To travel is more important than to arrive. The journey counts, not the destination. The fun is in the ride, its adventures, pleasures, lessons. If we trip down in the ride, that will teach us how to get up again. If we fly high in the air like a bird, it will teach us that everything once falls. It will teach us to keep our standards high, not our ego.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
It taught us that we don’t always need signs from the universe. We see what we actually WANT to, and WHEN we want to. Sometimes a necklace is just an accessory and a blitz is just a coincidence.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
Ted’s voyage was a long one. Way too long. But what made him still wish, still search, still get up, still wait, still hope and still believe? Well, the answer is his HOPE and BELIEF itself. He believed in miracles. He believed in Destiny. He let the *Destiny decide the Destination.* He knew that he WILL get a hand to hold, a heart to beat along with his own, a person to call *MY GIRL*, one day. He believed that it WILL happen, even if not Today, not Tomorrow, not Day After, then still ONE DAY.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
His wait worked. His belief worked. It actually bore fruit. A fruit of love, blessing and bliss. He finally found the Love of his Life. He finally met THE MOTHER. Thy name was Tarcy. The only gift she asked for was his Surname. He had found a person who will make his dreams come true; the mother of his future children. The children who will one day hear this story from their Dad. That one day too will come. The belief won’t ever die.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
It WILL happen, even if not Today, not Tomorrow, not Day After, then still ONE DAY.

The end was not the end, but the beginning to a new chapter. A chapter with six characters instead of five. The five yet remained together. Their love was not for days, months or years. It was for life, forever and beyond.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
Robin still remained one his favorite persons. Bestfriends are bestfriends if they remain so forever. In this beautiful manner, the Fabulous Five (plus one): Ted, Robin, Barney, Marshal, Lily and Tarcy, bid the TV Saga an adieu.
Remembering moments from How I Met Your Mother
The moments were beautiful. The commencement, the journey and the end, JUST BEAUTIFUL.

VEERAPPAN – Sandalwood smuggler and dacoit of India

VEERAPPAN- SANDALWOOD SMUGGLER AND DACOIT OF INDIA

hi

I recently saw the movie ‘Veerappan’, directed by the well known director Ram Gopal Varma.” A society gets the criminal it deserves”. Ram Gopal Varma bases his Veerappan on this Voltaire quote. Varma chronicles the life and times of India’s most notorious criminal Veerappan in this film but it doesn’t portrays the feelings and thoughts of the criminal rather, the film focuses on the various attempts by the Special Task Force to capture and kill the criminal, ending with the night of 18th October 2004 that resulted in the execution of Veerappan!

I was astonished to find out that the movie was based on a true story of the most dangerous and notorious dacoit and sandalwood smuggler of all times. The movie propelled me to find out more about this dacoit. During my study, I found out that Veerappan has dominated media since his time. There are several movies as well as books that were based on him, like,

     1) Movies:

  • Attahasa

          Attahasa is a 2013 Kannada biopic film directed by A. M. R. Ramesh, based on the notorious forest              brigand Veerappan. After much delay in the theatrical release, the film was opened to screens on 14 February 2013 all across Southern states of India.

 yo

  • Jungle- a Ram Gopal Varma film loosely based on slain bandit Veerappan.   hello
  • Captain Prabhakaran- a Tamil film loosely based on the bandit. wtf

     2) Books:

  • Veerappan: India’s Most Wanted Man by Sunaad Raghuram. The film Let’s Kill Veerappan is based on a chapter in this book.
  • Birds, Beasts and Bandits: 14 days with Veerappan is a book written by Krupakar and Senani, who were kidnapped by Veerappan in 1998.

 

CRIMINAL LIFE

Koose Muniswamy Veerappan (18 January 1952 – 18 October 2004), commonly known only as Veerappan was a notorious Indian brigand and dacoit in India. He was active for nearly 30 years in the scrub lands and forests in the states of Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu. Veerappan began his career in crime in 1970 and was first arrested in 1972.  Veerappan initially developed as a sandalwood and ivory smuggler, killing elephants for the latter. He later started killing those who resisted his activities. He committed his first murder at the age of 17 and his victims tended to be police officers, forest officials, and informants.  He also kidnapped various actors like Rajkumar, H.Nagappa etc. He regularly killed anyone suspected of being a police informer. Because of political instability, Veerappan could easily escape from one state to another.

FAMILY

Veerappan married Muthulakshmi and is said to have strangled one of their children soon after birth because she was their third successive girl. His wife reportedly appreciated his “notoriety and moustache” and married him because of that. As of 2004, his two other daughters were studying in Tamil Nadu.

DEATH

On 18 October 2004, Veerappan and two of his associates were killed by the Tamil Nadu Special Task Force headed by K Vijay Kumar. The killing happened near the village of Papparapatti in Dharmapuri district, Tamil Nadu. Veerappan and his men were lured into an ambulance by an undercover policeman under the pretext of taking them to Dharmapuri for medical treatment. The Tamil Nadu Special Task Force, which had been observing his movements for several months, surrounded the ambulance, and the gangsters were killed in the ensuing gun battle. The entire operation was named Operation Cocoon and Veerappan’s associates Sethukuli Govindan, Chandre Gowdar and Sethumani were also killed in the operation. His death was described as the “death of a demon” by The Guardian. The villagers of Gopinatham celebrated with firecrackers on hearing the news. Since Veerappan’s death, the village has been promoted as a destination for ecotourism by the Karnataka State Department of Forest and Tourism.

10 THINGS YOU WILL MISS ABOUT SCHOOL

free class

Someone has truly said – ” School days are the best days in ones life “. Most of us spend the majority of the school days dying to leave and get out into the real world and at first, it’s great ! No rules ,no boundaries , no nagging . But after a while nostalgia sets in and you’ll be looking back on your school days with rose tinted  glasses  .

Here’s what you will miss about school when you start college ,

1. MEETING YOUR BUDDIES EVERYDAY

The major and one of the most important reason you loved going to school –FRIENDS – OUR LIFELINES‘. You may make new friends in college, but nothing in the world will be able to replace that childhood bond.

2. TWO WORDS -” SCHOOL CANTEEN “

How can you not miss delicious samosas , springrolls etc from your school canteen?  A special mention to those canteen waale uncles who used to give us toffee instead of change. It used to be an unasked gift , paid though !!

3. BUNKING COLLEGE WILL NEVER BE AS FUN AS SCHOOL WAS !!

bunking school

Bunking school was nothing short of an adventure for you. It used to give you a thrill, Even though you are going to bunk almost every day in college, the feeling will never be the same.

4. FREE PERIODS

sleeping in class

The free periods where you could technically just sit there and do nothing but sleep for an hour .

5. MORNING ASSEMBLIES

Undoubtedly the morning assemblies were torturous. But guess what ? from trying your best not to get caught for wearing wrong shoes to faking illness to escape from scorching sun – you are going to miss it all !!

6. ANNUAL DAYS

Those days for which you used to wait for a year . All the celebrations and activities everything was worth the wait . Especially the classes we got to miss to prepare.

7. BREAKING THE RULES

10 THINGS YOU WILL MISS ABOUT SCHOOL

You will definitely miss breaking the rules. Sneaking in phones, bursting crackers in toilets, surfing banned websites in the computer lab – these things won’t even be half as much fun as they were back in school.

8. FEELING LIKE YOU RUN THE PLACE 

You were something in school. People knew you for your achievements. You knew all the teachers and all the ins and outs that go along with it . You’re going to miss the sense of belonging that your school gave you.

9. SCHOOL UNIFORM

Wearing the same combination of dress everyday was boring for you .But surely the feeling is not the same anymore , the school uniform must be kept somewhere in the closet and you feel nostalgic everytime you take it out.

10. TEACHERS

No matter how much you hated them while in school, once you settle in your college life, you will realize that your school teachers were the ones who actually cared about you. You miss that one teacher who was your guiding light throughout.

last benchers

Somewhere five years down the line when we will be busy settling our careers and busy in our schedule there will, of course, come some days which will cherish us forever and make us joyful!

Were you ever thrown out of your class?

Sometimes may be, for me I was always an outstanding student but not an outstanding student who use to annoy teachers or keep notes incomplete, I was always the first bencher I remember the last benchers story who use to make paper planes, paper balls, who were the most talented troop, or I can call the one who were seen infrequently.

I remember my friend sharing his epic moments with me, this is what he shared

‘I being an engineering student we have huge classrooms and we last benchers couldn’t hear our professor’s voice, hence our teachers use the portable Bluetooth speakers, one day while he was explaining the boring lectures our whole of class was super bored, I had the password of that speaker do you know what I did ? I connected the speaker to my mobile and started playing baby doll song and the entire class was turned into a gig where our professor got so aggressive that he was looking at me as if my death was approaching me, before he could say anything and insult me I myself walked out of the class and never attended his lecture again. These are some things which one could never forget about.

Fat is NOT EVIL!

ok

Have you been body shamed time and again? Do you feel bad about your body not because you don’t like it but because the society has made you hate your body? Do you feel bad about yourself when you are constantly reminded by people around you that you don’t match the definition of ‘being beautiful’ that has been established by the society? Do you feel nobody likes you because of your weight and the mere thought of ending up alone or turning into a spinster makes you go hard on yourself? Do you feel that when people call you ‘fat’, it is no longer used as a descriptive word but rather as a belittling diction that makes you hate your own self? Then this poem, is a must read for you.

hate

When being called fat no longer remains mere description.
When the word transforms into a belittling diction.
When you can either be fat or beautiful.
When a glance in the mirror becomes dreadful.
When numbers hover around your mind incessantly.
When consuming your favorite cupcake makes you guilty.
When starvation doesn’t scare you but being full does.
When every bite makes you squeal a curse.
When you rely on only liquids to cease the growling of your stomach.
When abjuring the sight of food causes much trouble.
Ask.
Ask all those who shame your body.
How many bites are too much?
How much waist size makes me plump?
How much space am I allowed to occupy?
How many comments am I supposed to deny?
And then,embrace.
Embrace your body the way it is.
Don’t let the comments of people terrify you.
There is nothing wrong in being a pioneer to break this taboo.
Wear a bikini if it gives you delight.
Gnaw at your favorite cupcakes from seven to nine.
Post pictures on facebook without editing them.
It’s high time that you stopped hiding in your den.
And remember.
Remember that fat is not evil and your body is surely not an apology.

RAMADAN, NAMAZ, DUA
RAMADAN PRAYERS ARE A BLISS

RAMADAN TIME!

Happiness is when Ramadan is very near. Every Muslim household prepares for it with great enthusiasm and dedication. Ramadan is the 9th month of Muslim calendar and all the Muslims fast from dawn to dusk during this month, i.e. for 30 days. There are certain things that are especially taken care of, during Ramadan.  For all those who want to know what happens during Ramdan can go through the given 7 things done during

boy eating during ramadan
Boy eating during ramadan

Ramadan in the list:

  • FASTING: It is the most important part. Every Muslim should fast from dawn to dusk, during Ramadan. Children, sick, old people and pregnant women are exempted from fasting. To your question, “Do you eat nothing at all?! And don’t even drink water?” The answer is, “Yes. We do not eat or drink anything at all during fasting.”
  • PRAYER: Offering the five time namaz is not enough during Ramadan. There is a special namaz, the Tarawih, after the Isha’ namaz.  One must try to try to offer that punctually too. Also, read Quran as much as possible and keep remembering Allah (S.W.T.) throughout.
  • ABSTINENCE FROM SIN: Everyone is required to keep abstinence from sins all the time but if you have not done that, Ramadan is the best time to start. Ramadan proves to be a turning point for a lot of people. If someone tries to change during Ramdan, others must support and not mock.
  • DUA: Make as much dua as possible because ALLAH (S.W.T) has asked us to pray to him for whatever we want. HE is the provider, indeed. Prayer is powerful and Allah works on our dua. Sometimes, we don’t get what we want but maybe it is because Allah has better plans for us. So, have patience and keep asking Allah. A fasting person’s dua is always accepted in one form or the other. Before Iftaar, make it a point to make dua. It is one of the best time for dua.
  • GOOD DEED: You never know which good deed can be your ticket to Jannah. so, Keep doing the good work throughout Ramadan. Make za’kaat, help the needy, help those who are fasting, help your mother at home. Do whatever is sunnah and have good intentions about it. Although, remember not to boast about whatever you do. Let Allah see what you did, not everyone else.
  • SUHOOR: Do Suhoor because there is blessing in Suhoor. Try not to skip Suhoor. It helps you perform better during the day in prayers and other works.
  • IFTAAR: Break your fast with Iftaar at dusk. Better to start with a date or water. Make dua before Iftaar, for a fasting person’s dua is accepted readily. Have a light iftaar. It won’t keep you lazy after Iftaar.

Get ready for Ramadan now and keep these 7 things in mind. There are lot more

but the most important ones are listed. Let us know about more if you want to.

Insa’allah, have a great time. Ramadan Mubarak!

studied in a convent school

Didn’t we all just loooovvvvveeee school? Life wasn’t so complicated back then and the biggest care in the world was to get through exams. But if you studied in a convent school, then your school life has been another roller coaster ride altogether! We are pretty sure you will be travelling down memory lane in no time after you read these things that only a convent student will get!

1. Conventees and Convenites are legit words!

1 studied in a convent school

The Webster or the Oxford dictionaries may beg to differ, but being called conventees or convenites was your swag!

2. “Our father in heaven, holy be your name…”

You still remember this prayer word to word because that is how every single day at school began and ended. And you really didn’t want to be talking or messing around during the prayer!

3. Grammar nazi is a term that exists because of convent school!

I already ate mom. *cringe*

I already ate, mom.

You know the difference. #LikeABoss

3 studied in a convent school

4. You know what it is like to sell raffle tickets before your school fete!

Oh and the feeling when a booklet was finished! And the excitement on the day of the fete! *jumping up and down in joy*

5. You still remember so many songs and carols from your “Hymn Book”.

And you casually find yourself humming them once in awhile and suddenly miss school! *sigh*

5 studied in a convent school

6. Forget getting fined for overspeeding, you got fined for using a language that was NOT English.

Even gibberish was not allowed! :p

7. Other kids had Sirs and Ma’ams, you had Sisters and Fathers.

And whenever you began your sentences with “Today sister XYZ taught us…” you got a lot of what-do-you-mean-by-sister looks from your non-convent going friends. If only they knew!

7 studied in a convent school

8. Moral science was as important as actual science, and no, you couldn’t flunk it!

That is probably why you still have a lot of good habits that helped you survive your troubled teens and even turbulent twenties!

 

9. Christmas time was a month long fiesta – and how you loved that time!

The beautifully decorated Christmas trees, the carols, the christmas plays, the cute little manger set-up – it was all so much fun! And the plum cake on Christmas day! *drooling*

9 studied in a convent school

10. Uniform code just could not be broken!
