Daawat E Ishq Music Launch | Aditya Roy Kapur & Parineeti Chopra

Tweet #TwitterStories
So I happened to be present at the upcoming film's Music Launch and NO I DON'T HAVE A SINGLE PHOTO STANDING NEXT TO THE STARS!

Daawat E Ishq star cast : Aditya Roy Kapur and Parineeti Chopra finally entered the auditorium and I couldn't believe my eyes - ARK looks even better off-screen. So cute that I could only scream to myself "OMG Aaadityaaa is soooo cute!!!"

Obviously I am happy I shook hands with him and spoke to him, Even asked him for a selfie which became impossible within a second because, Paparazzi!

Daawat E Ishq- As the name suggests, Its Music Launch was all about food. They started off asking us "Bhookh Lag Rahi Hai?" and only talked about LUCKNOW and KHAANA!
Yes, People talking about Lucknow obviously excited me more and I could only prompt them about "Yes that's Chowk, That's where you find it!!" . Parineeti and Aditya couldn't get Lucknow, Tundey Kebabs and Biriyani off their minds while I couldn't stop grinning at them.

NOTE: ADITYA ROY KAPUR WAS STARING AT ME. (I SWEAAAAAR!!!)
He also stared at me when I asked him for a selfie, He looked me in the eyes and told me it was difficult. I was spellbound. And he is very down to earth.
Here are a few shots I managed to capture.

I remember how excited I was for Ishaqzaade, This Daawat E Ishq and its Lucknow connection is making me crazy.

Happy 85th Birthday Audrey!

Happy Birthday, the Icon! 

Audrey Kathleen Ruston, Born 4th May, 1929,was not only one of the greatest female screen legend in the history of American Cinema but a highly recognized Humanitarian and a Fashion Icon! 

  This timeless beauty was not only know for her coiffed bobs, sleep up-dos and chick Beeehives, for the grace she carried and an aura of feminity that she retained with her outfit choices, But also remembered for her kindness and her hearty attitude.

You sure know about that decade's obsession with Beehives and Bangs: 

Classic Hepburn Bangs and Beehive

But here's something you need to read, every time to be yourself, to be happy being yourself, and most importantly, to be happy!

Some quotes from the lady who was always confident in her own skin and never took life seriously. Go ahead.. 

1. "If I’m honest I have to tell you I still read fairy tales and I like them best of all."

2. "Why change? Everyone has his own style. When you have found it, you should stick to it."

3. "I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it."

4. "The best thing to hold onto in life is each other."

5. "Let's face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me."

6. "I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls."

7. "Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!"

8. "I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it's the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It's probably the most important thing in a person."

9. "I have to be alone very often. I'd be quite happy if I spent from Saturday night until Monday morning alone in my apartment. That's how I refuel."

10. "Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, it's at the end of your arm."

11. "For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only words of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone."

12. "I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine."

And.. This

Imtiaz Ali - Bollywood's gem.

Tweet #TwitterStories
I think I'm here to praise something or just talk about it but I am not very sure.
So I watched Randeep Sexy Hooda and Alia Bhatt starrer HIGHWAY.

I had planned to post about the movie but somehow I end up talking about how much I love Imtiaz Ali.
Being a ShahRukh Khan Worshipper (and Not just a Fan) I amaze friends by telling them that "Love Aaj Kal" is my all time favorite! Firstly, Because choosing one SRK movie is impossible and Secondly, because Imtiaz Ali Movies are close, very close, closest to the heart.

Location-India oriented.
Most ideal and romantic location for people might be the Typical Yash Chopra Movie location, for me they are Imtiaz Ali Movie Locations. His movies have this very different, simple yet put an extraordinary kinda attention towards some of the best, most extravagant, lively yet peaceful places in India. I absolutely love how his movies are incomplete without a little "Dilli" + something "Sufi" and lots of "Punjabi-pann" in it!

Music- Most Happening Albums!
Coming to the Music his movies has, I'd say if you don't consider Rockstar as one of the ultimate music album this industry has you sure have a bad taste in music! Unlike every other movie Music is not Imtiaz movies' Best part. Imtiaz himself, is, followed by music. Irshad's lyrics, A.R.Rahman's music, a mandatory song by Mohit Chauhan - Orgasmic!

Simple Yet Completely Different Approach (Towards Love, Life, Friendship, Freedom..)
Bollywood these days is upto something it has no idea about, but Imtiaz movies at the same time are the best thing happening to bollywood-freaks,I bet!
For some, Imtiaz movies are baseless and for rest, they are just meant for entertainment. But you need to look deep into them. They are about little things and little feelings that change your life drastically.

Why is Love Aaj Kal the most favorite movie? Because it is about doing little things for each other that we might not say and even refuse, but want (When Jai visits Meera at the Airport?) It is about Love still existing when you are busy being practical about your lives and thinking that hitting on a new person everyday is okay,and easy.
Why Rockstar? Because you can't have everything in life. You've got accept what life brings to you.
Why Cocktail? Because seeing someone you love falling for someone else hurts, and hurts more when they met that someone through you. But you can't change how they feel.
Highway? Because some people want to breathe, want to be loved and want to love someone with all they have.

Entertainment?
Imtiaz movies might have nothing but Entertainment! He will very easily make every person get into the story as if "THIS IS ME!!" He knows the key to connect to the hearts and trends of the Youth. Simply, he knows "Kya Chalta Hai" or what the audience wants. His screenplays, scripts, music or transitions -Everything is what keeps you glued to your seats in the cinema,because he is showing you what you want to see. *Winks*

My Love for Imtiaz and his movies is deeper than my love for the Sufi and the Punjabi touch in his movies. All I can do is talk about him and wait for SRK to work with Imtiaz. If you need more reasons why Imtiaz Movies Make Complete Sense To Me (MOST SENSIBLE, I mean!!) then talk to me. B-)

Because,"XX" Chromosomes. Simple.

Dear boys,
Being a girl is NOT easy.
Understanding Girls, Is!

It's very simple in fact.

We want compliments. We hate unnecessary compliments. But we want them.
When we put up a question "How Do I Look?", If you say "Good" You're probably lying. But LIE if we ask "Do I Look Bad?". Tell us we look good. Simple.

Do notice and compliment our new hair-do, make-up or dress separately, but be ready to face "Just the dress? Not Me?". That simple.

When we are upset, We don't want you to sympathize, because we want to be told we're strong.
But If we are acting strong, hold us and sympathize a bit. Simple.

When we praise another girl, Be moderate.
But No matter how much we appreciate and talk about the a girl, You CAN'T talk about her. We are going to hate it. Simple.

We hate self-obsessed males. Be modest. But we want to talk about ourselves ALL.THE.TIME. Ask us, Listen to us,praise us and pay attention, though we hate too much attention.
We want you to be possessive about us, but not too much. We can be VERY possessive about you, Because We were born as a girl. Simple.

Be sophisticated with us in public. Don't annoy us while trying to be very lively and cheerful, It will be Misbehaving.
But when we are being loud in public, we are vibrant and vivacious, We are just being real! Simple.

Cherish us if we are hyper-enthusiastic about something! Join the excitement, listen to us talk about the same thing again and again. But don't be too chirpy and energetic about something, it irritates us. Simple.

We want to be beautiful to you. We hate boys who address girls as "hot" and "sexy" but we want to be called the same. But we might hate you for not telling us we're beautiful. Simple?

Never lose your calm if we're having mood swings, hold onto us and make us feel better.And don't be a cry-baby all the time. Never call us names, watch your jokes, don't let your words hurt us. But understand if we said something that we never meant to say, just a slip of the tongue, may because we were upset over something! Simple.

We can have opposite-gender friends ( i.e. you, men, sadly :P), with whom we hang out, talk overnights, exchange banters and may be cuddle too. We know they are our friends. Be OKAY with it!
 But You Can't, because, You are Men (and we all know how Men are.).
Its "A Girl and a Boy can never be just friends" when it comes to you. We would hate it! Because we are girls. So Simple.

We might be whining about someone whole day, we might be hating them. But if you say something bad about them, you're a bad person. Don't be too judgmental. Where on the other hand, We always have reasons to be judgmental. Simple.

Like you see, It is very simple!
God deliberately kept "Y" away because "XX" chromosomes were perfect and meant to be awesome! ^_^ 
There are many such things, All you need is to try and understand. When it comes to you, there is always a "But" :P We can claim all these privileges to rest with us, But you can't because God chose "us" to be Girls ;)
Keep loving us!

Movies never scripted.

We all are nothing but a piece of flesh wrapped around our brain and our heart.
We have been disappointed, We have had heartbreaks and we all are a little scared.

Scared, to love someone, to fall for them, to let them be "That" person in our life, That person who will have the complete authority to destroy us.

Who are to be blamed? Movies, they make it all seem so easy. But who knows it better than we do, Falling in and out of Love - not an easy feat!

"There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you - of kindness and consideration and respect - not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn't know you had"

If they fear you're lying about some completely irrelevant stuff all the time, It's because they are guilty and fear the same from you.

If they doubt, feel insecure or question a lot, Their pointing fingers at you indicates that their hands aren't very clean either. How can you have a future together when you are busy predicting each other's past?

If you feel guilty about your intimacy with them but still cant lose them, it's because it was intimate-love-making for you, for them, it was lust. Love for them is a tool. Sadly. [TIP: Think of someone you can hug without sexual implications, feel coziest and calmest and still not be ruined.]
Their Kisses,Hugs and their Touch, are the best lie detector.Figure it out before it's too late.

Behind a grouchy,cynical and a very partner is a person who is low on self-esteem. The only reason they belittle you to feel good about themselves. The reason why the abase you is because they have an "image" to take care about,and only fake people have "images", real people don't care.

All the innocence they want from you, the pleasure they get in your failure and weakness is because of the games they've been playing, their dirty tricks..and all that,again for "self importance". You end up alone, not because you stopped loving but because you chose to stop hurting each other. 

Do not try to find your "someone". They might just pretend and manage to look the most perfect "someone" for you. Don't give in easily. Don't give up easily either. You just learn and move on, but you never forget. Forgive and Forget just happens to be like- You forgive,They forget and repeat. But.. The Impossible-To-Love and Impossible-To-Stop-Loving phases will co-exist and there will be no way out. You'll be left alone but just wait. Life is unpredictable. So is Love. Never give up on Love (and never give up on your sexuality :P After the They-Are-All-The-Same phase you might be left with nothing but a lifetime awkwardness :P )
You might be detached, destructive, guarded, desperate, irrational and out of touch but things never can never be the same again. Putting it simply, It might be reaaalllllly really reeeeeeeeeally really worth it, but what has happened can't be forgotten just because it happened, but because it tells a lot about that might happen or the person they are. You're useless efforts can make it work but for how long? Nothing, trust me, Nothing replaces unconditional understanding and the urge to love each other like crazy. Keep Loving.
