Bina Prem Dhiraj Nahi

I'm in love with this Yesudas' song from the movie Swami Vivekananda.

.........

slip of the tongue

Where the tongue slips, it speaks the truth.
- An Irish proverb.

And when a near & dear one's tongue slips once too often, it hurts.

Happiness

Quote received by SMS
If everyone is happy with you.. then surely you have made many compromises in your life. If you are happy with everyone.. surely you have ignored many faults of others.

I felt, thoughts on the other side could be;
If everyone is happy with you.. then surely they have ignored many faults of yours. If you are happy with everyone.. surely they have made many compromises for you.

Deepawali Rangoli

Deepawali at office was different this year; the team made a colorful freehand floral Rangoli.

A part of the team is drawing the core, in the background another part of the team is mixing rangoli powder and colors.

Outer section being drawn around the core. Lines were drawn, erased and redrawn, over and again to get the right shapes.

Initial stages of color filling.

Coloring was done with lot of care, no such thing called 'undo' in this work.

Even a tea-strainer was used for sieving colored powder :)

Outlines around the colored sections.

Oil lamps join the Rangoli. Part of the team creating Kannada text "Deepawali Subhashayagalu"

The five-flame Deepa at the center.

Aaro Dalada Rangoli

Mean time, another team had drawn Rangoli at the entrance and also the stairway to ground floor.

That's our team!

Shivana-Butti creates it's own shadow rangoli.

Good team work!! A memorable Deepawali.

Here's the link to the video- Deepawali Rangoli.

Alive is Awesome

About a month ago, the Cinthol: Alive is Awesome campaign kicked off. People, mostly youngsters passionate about travel and adventure expressed their sense of fun in water. Being a part of the campaign was a matter of doing something for my brand of soap- Cinthol, the red wrapper one. To be honest, I'm loyal to my brands. If Alive is Awesome was some other brand's idea, I wouldn't be a part of it.

I'm a Cinthol user for almost three decades now.. from childhood right till present day. I did use Mysore Sandal in between, its a good soap but somehow it dd not go well with my respiratory system. I guess the scent was a bit too strong for me, especially when throat was sore. Cinthol was back in my bathroom and in my travel kit.

Cinthol hamper contained four variations- Cool, Deo, Strong and Original. However, Lime was missing.

I haven't tried the new Cinthol soaps yet but I'm sure they'll go well with me. Strong or Deo can be for morning bath while Original can be for the evening wash. Cool and Lime might suit warm weathers..

The most popular video in Alive is Awesome campaign-

I liked the Geyser Bath idea.

Long Live Cinthol.

Lime Bazaar instead of Line Bazar?
