Hips don't lie.............

 Just a few days ago, while playing recreational badminton a friend of mine questioned me whether her hips looked big in the outfit she was wearing. A hesitant me tried to ward off that question as I didn't wanted to offend her. But, her question sprung up a serious question in my mind, a question about body image among us (girls). I won't boost and make false statements that I don't get insecure about my body. Sometimes, I too get the feeling and get insecure.                                                                                      
                          
Sure, Shakira is beautiful!!
With this question in my mind I stumbled upon my answer. As a regular reader of newspaper and magazines, I know that there are certain body types (apple shape, pear shape, hourglass and so on). Now, this pear shape is the body shape in which the hips are wide as compared to the upper body and the cherry on the icing: most Indian women are pear shaped. Even I'm pear shaped and like my friends I too have spend a great time in front of mirror agonizing over my shape. But after a careful observation, I have come to a conclusion that no one except we ourselves are influenced about this thing and people care a damn about our body shape (actually they don't even have time to figure it out). So, thinking about this and make ourselves feel worthless is waste of time and energy.
                          
 A coin has two side: heads and tails and in a similar way this pear shape has a positive side too which we don't seem to know (frankly I too didn't knew about them until I read an article about it). Women with this body shape typically have an excellent lower flexibility and great lower body strength making them good with sports or movements that requires lower body coordination (this certainly wins a brownie points from me). There are many beautiful people around us having this body shape, a famous example is Shakira (now you can't deny that she is beautiful).
                        
 On a positive note guys, there is no need to be influenced by all these thing that deters you from feeling good about you and actually, feeling good is a right you ought to have. Live life to its fullest and stop getting psyched about these silly things, have a positive body image and kick start yourselves with a right attitude everyday.
                          
So guys, do tell us about the image you have about your body and help me to spread positivity around....... :-)

Random things from my Mind

Okay, I was just browsing through channels on my television, when I chanced upon this song being played on VH1 and since then, I am listening to this "master-piece" non-stop on YouTube! Hey, I don't like a particular genre of music but listen to whatever pleases my ears (Hmm....but I am certainly a bit partial to Urban Punjabi genre due to my beloved Imran Khan ). To be honest, I am not in a mood to write some heavy, pour-out-my-heart post as all my excitement for Navratri  has been spoiled by those slow songs played during Dandiya, tonight. So, in this post I'd prefer to cut short my words and let the video above and picture below do the talk. Chocolate Milkshake. Just one word.....YUMMY! Ah, How much I love this thing (Choco-milkshake) filled in little plastic containers from my college's cafeteria! It's pure bliss to take the sips and linger all over them, trying to devour these. Yeah, I know I am sounding crazy right now, but frankly I can't

Chapter 2: Such A Long Journey

( Note: This post has been written as a part of Blogadda's #CelebrateBlogging. My team is ' Tandem Tensome ' and this post is the second chapter in the novel we are writing. You can read the first chapter here ) __________ “The number you are trying to call is currently busy, please try again later.” was what Shekhar could hear on the other end of his call. He sighed and assured himself that indeed she must be busy at work.  “I’ve boarded the train back home, and will reach by tomorrow. Call me ASAP.” he typed in a jiffy and sent the message to Tara, his wife, and slouched in his seat. He couldn’t help but think of Tara and how strained their relationship has become, not that it had been a healthy one erstwhile, but now it took a lot of effort even to communicate! They went days and sometimes even weeks without seeing each other although they lived together under the same roof; she'd be up and out even before the sun’s first rays hit the earth and home a
