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.

Bursting the "Love" bubble.

 Here, comes a "BAHM!!!!" moment!

"BAHM!!!" as if you just banged into a truck and were thrown meteres away, thrown out of your escapist world.

It'll be so loud, so dark, you'll only get to witness it's gloomy and obnoxious state. Melancholic state. State,that,of your mind.

Here, It will now hardly take you a couple of moments to Fall. Out. Of. Love.

No matter how long it took you to fall into it, Or realize that you've fallen into it, But at this very moment, When you will be sitting all by yourself, Living up your "Me" time, Idle, Thinking, Realizing, Thinking, Overthinking,(analyzing), You will eventually find out that You Did Not Fall Into It. You Were Pushed Into It.

Pushed, Thrown into it to accept the fake, as genuine. To think of the very pretentious, as the ideal Love.

Because, WHEN THE TRUTH HITS YOU HARD, THE NIFTY AND THE DECOROUS LIES BEAR NO PLACE EXCEPT THE HARSH MEMORIES.

You will feel, You will know. You did not fall into love, but were thrown into it.

You might simply fall outta love, or atleast..you should.For your own good. ASAP.

Faith - The Link Between God and Human.

A FRIEND SHARED THIS,I WANTED TO SHARE IT FURTHER :

Professor : You are a Christian, aren’t you, son ?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Professor : Is GOD good ?

Student : Sure.

Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?

Student : Yes.

Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?

(Student was silent.)

Professor: You can’t answer, can you ? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Is satan good ?

Student : No.

Professor: Where does satan come from ?

Student : From … GOD …

Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student : Yes.

Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?

Student : Yes.

Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer.)

Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?

Student : Yes, sir.

Professor: So, who created them ?

(Student had no answer.)

Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?

Student : No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?

Student : No , sir.

Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?

Student : No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.

Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student : Yes.

Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?

Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.

Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.

Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Professor: Yes.

Student : And is there such a thing as cold?

Professor: Yes.

Student : No, sir. There isn’t.

(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)

Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.

(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)

Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?

Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?

Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?

Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?

Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?

Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing the concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, Science can’t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing.

Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?

Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.

Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?

(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)

Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

(The class was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?

(The class broke out into laughter. )

Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?

(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

My Note:Have Faith. It's definitely NOT Science who created Us,Our Lives and This World. 
And its not about our Gods ,my God or Your's.
Just that eternal force that exists.

Baby Butterfly comes out from her Pupa | At my house

Tweet #TwitterStories
So.. Tuesday, 9th October '12 I notice this white capsule-like think hanging on my backyards wall with a black and golden-glittery line on it.
Amazed and excited i prayed and hoped for it to be a butterfly !

Friday noon i saw this cute little winged creature trying to take flight and believe me her colors were so beautiful that i touched her with my lips....just could not resist doing that ! 

Here is the scientific extract :- Science calls this beautiful sun-rust colored creature as "Danaus chrysippus"

Danaus chrysippus, known as the Plain Tiger or African Monarch, is a common butterfly which is widespread in Asia and Africa. It belongs to the Danainae("Milkweed butterflies") subfamily of the brush-footed butterfly family, Nymphalidae. It is a medium-sized, non-edible butterfly, which is mimicked by multiple species.

The Plain Tiger is believed to be one of the first butterflies to be used in art. A 3500 year old Egyptian fresco in Luxor features the oldest illustration of this species.^[1]

The Plain Tiger can be considered the archetypical danaine of India. Accordingly, this species has been studied in greater detail than other members of its subfamily occurring in India.
