Why should brides have all the fun ? Groom's guide is here !

What is the first word that comes to your mind when I say wedding? To me, the word is 'shopping' followed by decor, food, bride, fun, friends, dance,hectic etc followed by the unending list of  questions like these 'What should the bride wear for Mehendi, Sangeeth, wedding? What should be theme for sangeeth? Should we match the decor with the bride or do a contrast? Who would be the photographer? Should we place an order or do the DIY something as return gifts for guests ?'. My mind keeps wandering all over the place. And the last one on the list is 'Groom'. Quite frankly, this is how a groom shopping is.  We just go few stores which sell decent clothes for wedding - try few and pick one. That is it ! Nothing more ! I am talking here about majority of us and not about those few brides who puts lot of thought into it as well. Kudos to you girls !

Did you hear SALE ? Proceed with caution !

I know you must be wondering "What the **** is she talking? Is she nuts?". Now let me complete my sentence. I am not talking about the retail stores of mass production companies and nor about the online stores. Because these people, when they say "SALE" they mean it. Even if they don't put the new collection on sale, the remaining stuff is still available to us for a cheaper price. Be it at 10% or 70% discount. It does not matter.

The Great Indian sense of Humour

Hi Folks

All thanks to Bollywood, I have given up watching movies on big screen. I do not seem to comprehend the director's understanding of audience intelligence. I cannot skrink my IQ level for those three hours ! I conveniently shifted to YouTube to which I am now sort of addicted to. And the best part about YouTube , I watch it whenever and where ever I want to. I can pause it and if I like the video, I can watch it again. If I dont, I will skip to another. Whereas movies, grrhhhh - I am stuck to the chair for 3 hours ( sob sob !). The only thing I look forward to in the theatre is for the "Interval" to grab some popcorn.

Vintage Blossom by ShopSnob

Hi friends !
How many of you here like iphones , obsessed about your phone and will not buy any phone other than an iphone ? Raise your hands! and  Welcome to the club !
I was someone who was never looking for anything in a phone. And shelling thousands of rupees or dollars was something that I never appreciated. Only until, I happened to get hold of an iPhone and got to use it.  November 2011 was when I first started to use it ( how I got hold of this is a long story ! I will share it later). I instantly fell in love with it. The delicate touch, sleek look, quality of pictures - almost everything about it.
Bottom line of all this - I love my phone and treat it like any other human being. In my quest for a good case for it ( super bad experience I had with dropping the phone and leaving a huge crack on the backside !), I happen to tumble upon a blog Le-Snobiety by Aashana Shroff.  She runs an e-commerce store too called ShopSnob on Facebook. I was floored the moment I saw this case. Its Vintage ! Cherry blossom flowers and a cute cage on the top brings in a feminine touch !
And guess what ! Aashna named this case " Vintage Blossom" !
I quickly dropped an email requesting my purchase and voila in an hour I get to hear form her that the case will be dispatched.  I was highly impressed by the quick reply. Within two days, I got the case delivered at home - Neatly packed to protect the case from scratches !
Let me end the suspense ! This is how my 'Vintage Blossom' looks !

Stay Happy !
