Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara' promises some brilliant moments of fun.......must watch it..:)

Rediff Rating:

The dialogue are gentle,  the characters are real and life-like. If you shut your eyes for a moment, you might see your own self in Kabir, Imran or Laila. 

Their primary characters, Kabir, Imran, Arjun, Natasha and Laila, are the people you are or may have seen or may have hung out with. School friends, Kabir (Abhay Deol,  Imran (Farhan Akhtar) and Arjun (Hrithik Roshan)  had made a pact to try out an adventure sport of their choice when they meet next. With Kabir getting married to Natasha (Kalki Koechlin),  they take off for Spain in the belief that you are blessed with life only once and there won't be another time.


During the journey, their outer shells are peeled off and their true lives are revealed to one another. The conversations are laced with real humour, it has a mock-you sense of fun without being derogatory or slight. When they mimic their teacher, hum the Doordarshan tune in drunken abandon or peform the Diamond biscuit parody, they aren't acting -- just going along, being themselves as friends usually do.

Home Made Nail Art Ideas

Nail art is going all the more trendy. You can glue dried flowers, beads or a piece of your favorite fabric on to your nails. 


The whole process is not time consuming and does not require professional help. This piece of art remains intact for up to 4 - 6 weeks.






Process
1. Outline the shape of fabric you have chosen and cut them out or cut the printed fabric.
2. Wash your hands and pad them dry.
3. Apply a cost of adhesive agent to the nails or if the adhesive is not available then a thick coat of a transparent nail polish will also work.
4. Now place the cut out fabric pieces on the nails polished with the adhesive before it dries up.
5. Smoothen out the creases and press lightly and let it dry.
6. Finally apply a coat of the transparent nail polish and we are done.


How To Select The Fabric
1. Silk:
It is very popular and stylish. It is very fine and has a strong weave. It gives the finish of a French polish.

2. Linen: It is much thicker than silk. It stays opaque even after the adhesive is applied. Remember to apply a layer of nail polish colored or transparent on it.

3. Organza:
It is stiff yet light so it is easy to cut and shape. It stays on for days without needing to be touched up.

Georgette, chiffon or cotton or any fabric can be used. Only thing to be kept in mind is that it should not limp or hang lose.

Excited to see INDIA in FINALS...!!

Excitement begins....

There are only 22 people, they really don't want  this match to happen...GUESS.....///// ...Indian Players & Pakistan Players.....HAHAHAHHA..
I am sure there will be lot of pressure on both the teams. I just hope people enjoy the game in true spirit. I don't know which team will win, but I wish that match should be close .

Full country is becoming excessively crazy. Prime-Minister of India, Prime Minister of Pakistan , President of India, People from film industry, and more thousands and thousands of big small people. What a spectacle it is going to be.

I am so exited about Tendulkar and Shewag perform. I dont want to miss even one ball which Zaheer throws. I dont want to miss even advertisements of this match.

I'll watch my awaited match on BIG SCREEN TODAY.... Gosh Can't wait for it. So Let's Cheer together. Indiaaaaa ! India !

Will Win for SURE....:))

Who will WIN the Match........SRILANKA OR NEWZELAND

New Zealand is only non-Asian team to have featured in this edition of final four in World cup. But to get pass over Sri Lanka in the semi final they need some x-factor to go in there favor which will not only allow them to reach final but give them some hope of clinching the trophy on 2^nd April 2011.

Sri Lanka has great bowling attack with L.Malinga, M.Muralitahran, A.Mendis and R.Herath in their armory. The main worries for Sri Lankans are there middle order which is yet to be tested in the tournament.

This is the pressure of Semi Final and whichever team able to cope with it will emerge out as winner. In the last edition of World Cup also Sri Lanka played New Zealand in the semi final where they have crushed the kiwis easily.

But for newzeland nothing to lose they can play their own game. I think they are able to cross over the hurdle with N.Mccallum and Vettori's spin attack and Jacob Oram's alround performance. Nothing much to say about Rose Taylor's, we have seen that attacking batting between pakistan.But the worries are B. Mccallum and Scott Styris they yet to come on form. If these two also come on form then i can assure that Newzealand will win over srilanka.

Here i need to mention one more thing about newzealnd' confidence level and their attacking fielding. Match against South Africa was a clear proof of that, can't even believe that such a team like south africa had lost to newzeland for 49 runs .

"Excellent place to hangout” ....in SOUTH DELHI...."Rajinder ka Dhaba"

Rajinder ka Dhaba, rated 3.5 of 5 on TripAdvisor and ranked #166 of 450 restaurants in New Delhi. 
It is situated at:- AB-14,Safdarjung Enclave Mkt, Nauroji Nagar Marg, Safdarjung Enclave, New Delhi.

This Restaurant is a great place to dine chicken delicacies. Specially the Tandoori Chicken. Nobody can match it in the universe. They sprinkle some yellow powder on the the tandoori chicken which makes it best in the world.

Don't forget to order the malai tikka...thats the speciality of this place. You'll love the tikkas very much. I can guarantee that. Very popular among students and grown ups alike, this place has the old-college-day feeling of eating in the open. You can have the food served in your car as well.

My advice is to Go & Experience the yummy flavors.  

GET RID OF HOLI COLORS ....

1) Use cold water to remove the colors, hot water makes the color fast and it is difficult to get rid of them.

2) Do not wash your face again and again. This will make your face dry.

3) Do not rub your skin with any rough and hard thing. This will make your skin itchy. Apply coconut oil with the help of cotton and ten try to remove the colors.

4) To lighten the color, rub lemon wedges and then aplly wheat flour and oil mixture.

5) Apply moisturiser to the entire body immediately after a bath.

6) If you are planing a bleach or facial then wait for atleast a week.

7) Applying soaked amchur powder also helps get rid of color.


PACKS:
Pack for dry skin:
1 tsp almond powder
1 tsp honey
2 drops lemon juice
little milk
Make a paste of all the ingredients and apply it your face. Let it stay for 20 minutes. Wet your hand with little water and try to rub offthe pack from the face. This will make your skin soft and clean.

Pack for oily skin:
1 tsp Masoor Dal
dried Orange peel
1 tsp rose water
2 - 3 drops lemon juice
Make a paste of all ingredients and apply it to the face. When the pack gets dried, apply some water on your hands and then try to rub off the pack.

Always enjoy Holi wihtout any fear of damaging your skin...:)) 

Few tips and suggestion to make your Holi safe and joyous...

• The best option would be to play with natural home made colours. Your skin and hair will feel tampered with the use of skin friendly natural products.
• If natural colours are not possible, then ensure a better quality of colours. Buy colours from a reputed shop or vendor.
• Make sure that your face is well creamed before and after the play.
• Apply thick coating of paint on your nails- both in fingers and toes so that they remain protected.(For Girls)
• Oil your hair well, so that colour doesn't stick on your hair and can be washed off easily later.
• Cover your hair. Make use of hat or caps to protect your hair from being coloured with hard-to-rinse dyes.
• Do not use permanent dyes. If someone has applied it on you, do not rub the face with soap immediately in order to get rid off it, especially when it is wet. Instead, use good quality cleansing milk for removal. 
• Do not drive if you are high on alcohol or bhang.
• Last but not the least .......Remember you also have police on your side and if any untoward revelers misbehave, you can make your complaint.

How to make Natural colours for this HOLI...

Dry Colour:

• Use mehendi / henna powder, separately or mix with equal quantity of any suitable flour to attain a lovely green shade. Make use only pure mehendi and not the one mixed with amla (meant to be applied to our hair) as this would be brown in colour. Dry mehendi will not leave colour on your face as it can be easily brushed off. 
• Red Sandal Wood Powder / Raktachandan has a beautiful red colour, is extremely beneficial for the skin and is used in face packs, etc. This can be used instead of Red Gulal.

Wet colour:

• Mixing a fine paste of leaves like spinach / palak, coriander / dhaniya, mint / pudina, tomato leaves, etc. in water.
• Put 2 teaspoons of Red Sandal wood powder in a litre of water and boil. Dilute and use.

Play safe. Don't get to boisterous and do not let others to be rude on you.
