My Take on “Thanks For The Memories” By Cecelia Ahern

Cecelia Ahern is and will always be my most favorite writer. Before I get to the book and of course how good it is, I would like to express my unconditional love for Cecelia. The very first book I read by her was ‘If You Could See Me Now’ and yes I realized I am a hardcore love story reader. Cecelia Ahern made me realize my kind of stories that I can relate to and it’s something that fascinates me more than any other genre. So why is Cecelia Ahern’s books different from others? See there are many romance novel  writers and  many of them are great at it. In fact fabulous. However, there is something about Cecelia that is so unique and amazing. It’s the fact that she can write so effortlessly a story, which one might think, is utterly impossible in a fascinating realistic way. This book i...

The Evolution of Cell Phone Camera Over the Ages

In today’s day and age, no one can do without a camera phone or a smart phone. Imagine using a mobile phone without a camera! However, not very long ago humanity survived without these creatures. Being part of that era, I vividly remember in the year 2000, when the SCH-V200 by Samsung was launched in South Korea. It was the first cell phone with a built in digital camera, which was capable of taking 20 photos. As a five-year old, that was more exciting to me than a trampoline. Although, some argue that the first camera phone was produced by Sharp in Japan. In 2002, the U.S followed the Japanese trend. Sprint launched Sanyo SCP-5300, it had a flash, digital zoom, self timer and few filter effects. In 2004, Sprint launched another phone Audiovox PM8920 with variety of camera settings incl...

How Michael Jordan Gambled on Airplane Luggage

One of the reasons why NBA (National Basketball Association) became famous in the 1980s and 1990s is because of Michael Jordan. His unusual stamina gave him a competitive edge in this domestic league. Regardless of the place it was, all he wanted was to win. Either in a game or in a bet with his friends.  There are many gamble incidents that involve MJ. One mentioned here is a bit weird. NBA players had to travel a lot in the airway. When MJ landed in Portland with his team-Bulls- he suddenly challenged that his luggage would come ahead of the others’ luggage. Nine of his teammates accepted the challenge instantly! Surprisingly his luggage came out first ahead of others. A lot of cash was gathered in MJ’s hand. They were not aware of the fact that MJ bribed the luggage handlers! I...

Huda Beauty Nude Palette Makeup Review

Anyone who indulges in makeup regularly or once in a month knows about Huda Kattan or at least her brand name Huda Beauty. I am not the type of person who will spend a lot of money on makeup. Unless it is really worth it and I can make the most out of it. When Huda Beauty Nude palette was launched, for me at first, it was just another high-end palette like Huda Beauty Desert Dusk palette, which I was already using and enjoying.   However, after I started browsing through some of the YouTube videos and reviews, I began to feel a curiosity and fascination towards it. Of course my passion for makeup strengthened my liking and one fine day, standing in Sephora, I saw the Huda Beauty Nude palette staring at me. It was love at first sight.   I was head over heels with all t...

First Premier League Title of Alex Ferguson

Sir Alex Ferguson is famously known for his success during his time in Manchester United. The 1992-93 season was the start of his reign. He won his first Premier League title with Red Devils. His side dominated the tournament from the start. He was determined to win the trophy right from the word go. After few matches, they reached the top of the table and remained there till the end. Manchester United gave no chance to their opponents. Their closest competitor was behind by 8 points. This big point difference is rare compared to the average table topper point statistics. Football is a team game but there needs to be someone who holds the oar of the team boat. French man Eric Cantona took the responsibility as a forward and also achieved PFA Player of The Year. He scored 18 league...

5 Budget-Friendly Ways To Propose To Your Partner this Valentine’s Day

With Valentine’s Day approaching near, many of you must be planning to propose to your beloved partners with “Will You Marry Me?” or “Will You Be Mine?” etc. So, without beating around the bush, I have listed down five interesting and budget-friendly ways to do it.   Candlelit Proposal Relax! It is not a candle light dinner for two with the ring hidden in the dessert. As traditionally romantic that is, it is also very clichéd. What my idea is, a room or balcony, basically any closed space where wind can be controlled with small candles spread out, spelling “Will You Marry Me?” on the floor. It is as simple as it sounds. All you will need is a lot of candles. It is not necessary to get one similar kind of candles only. Trust me, when lit up, they all will look gorgeous a...

Movie Series to Binge Watch

For some, movies mean a lot more than just a two-hour entertainment on the big screen. For others, it is an alternate reality to live in. Here is a list of some movie series that you can binge watch and indulge in.   SAW I-VII, Jigsaw. Genre- Horror/Thriller Watch time- Approximately 14 Hours (8 films so far) To me the SAW series is not horror or torture porn at all, it is a masterpiece created by James Wan and Leigh Whannell. Probably the best thriller series ever made with an intense and mind-boggling connection in between the movies. In the journey you would surely be disturbed but by the end of all the eight movies, you will come out rediscovering a new definition of life.   The Lord of the Rings & The Hobbit Genre- Epic Fantasy...

5 Types of Food Items for a Healthier Diet

Yogurt Plain, non-flavored yogurt is a lifesaver when it comes to a healthy diet meal. It is a go-to for salad dressing or simply as a sauce for your main meal whether chicken or any other meat. Yogurt is high on vitamin and super healthy. You can cook your stir-fry with yogurt or marinate your meat with it and then cook. It tastes great and oozes health benefits.   2. Green Chili Not for everyone if you are one of those who cannot tolerate a chili. However, I am not saying you need to chew a whole green chili to be healthy. You can put it in a cooked meal with other spices or use it in salads as well. Green chili is extremely healthy with Vitamin C that is beneficial not only for cutting down the fat but also in many other health-related ways.   3. Ginger This mig...

When You Wear Blue

The noises become numb, Surrounding visuals succumb. My gaze halts at you, When you wear blue.   The emerald veins, more prominently stand How the blue sleeves compliment your hand. Magic in your eyes, And melancholy in your chest, How the color puts you in an aura of zest. I stare at you, puzzled with your beauty. My mind has no clue, When you wear blue.   A fragrance, so intoxicating, Stops my heart from beating! A shiver transpires through my body, alarming, When your fingers do the talking. Amazed with the impact of this hue, When you wear blue.

How Tunefully Tender

The touch gave me a tremor How tunefully tender! Fingers fidgeting farther A silk surface of shine and shimmer. Emerald eyes eyeing me earnestly How I’m skimming her skin slickly. From sitting stiff to her sudden shake How I could smoothly suffer for her sake. Peace pouring out persistently She was a trench coat of tranquility. Resting her feet on the red rug Her body, a blanket bug. How stunningly she sat She was my coy cuddlesome cat.

Alone And Aloof

It stood stiff and straight. Failing to safeguard its body and soul, Which were not of much weight.   Seeking for silence Amongst a crowd of commotion. Trying to sear its skin, Desiring self-destruction.   Is it the growing inhumanity in human beings? Or the high hopes of these green living things?   Alone and aloof, Withered and wilted. Breathing free Was the only dream of this desolate tree.   It stood stiff and straight. Failing to safeguard its body and soul, Realizing they are indeed too much of weight.

Start Now

We always talk about the great entrepreneurs and how they started their journey with so little. They all did one thing that changed the future for them. They acted. They did something.   There is a famous quote by Stephen McCranie that “The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried”. Everyone who climbed the stairway to success has failed more times than you have known. If you haven’t failed, you haven’t tried anything. If you haven’t tried anything, you can never achieve something. So, go out there and try something.   Somewhere somehow all of us have ideas about doing something. There is not a single person without an idea. You have an idea, act upon it, and don’t wait. Life is not fair. There is no use of complaining about it.   If yo...
