I lost you...

Sitting alone I realized

Things were not the same anymore

With every passing day

I lost you.

I still remember the day we stared

Letting the chaos of the world disappear

We laughed, we cried  and we cared

Hoping there might be love, buried somewhere

We were in trance before we even realized

Building dreams and life that would crystallize

But as the days went by

You changed, you drifted

Taking all my hopes away

Laying in the green ley

I cried, I fought

But all my pleas didn’t slay

Sitting alone I realized

Things were not the same anymore

With every passing day

I lost you.

Ten things to do before you die!

"Dreams are the touchstones of our character" ~ Henry David

Everybody dreams. Even if all of them cannot be fulfilled, at least you get to live the moment. I had read articles and also seen movies where people paint their wildest dreams in form of wish lists captioned as “Things to do before I die”. And, influenced by them, I also planned on certain to do check list items:

TRAVEL

Now I am pretty sure no one can deny the fact that they love travelling and that they avoid the chances they get. Well, definitely I am not the one who misses such an opportunity.  Travelling and unveiling the beautiful mystery of the world is breathtaking.

WRITE A BOOK

A story is not always a concocted one. But most of the times, writers pen down their own experiences in form of a novel or a book. So here is the next wish- to write a book, on my life, which includes my personal life characters and all real life events. In the end it’s all about letting the world know your story in your very own words.

FACE YOUR DEMON

Face your biggest fear. In my case, it is acrophobia (fear of height) and so I would love to go sky diving. Sounds cool eh? Go for it. Try an extreme sport and overcome all your fears. Try scuba diving or paragliding, para sailing, rappling or rock climbing. Even skiing is fun.

SAVE A LIFE

Believe it or not, this one is a serious one. Helping the one in need is the biggest gift you can give to yourself while you are alive. Try reading some psychology or humanity related articles and you will start thinking in the same way. Be it by donating blood or in any other form, save someone’s life.

TATOO

Get a tattoo done. Try a religious symbol, or your lover’s name or a quote or any random thing. Trust me you will love the new showoff.

GET DRUNK

This one might not be applicable for everybody as getting drunk is a habit these days. But for those who do not drink, just for once let the liquor intoxicate your body and make you feel lost in a different world.

SWIM IN THE OCEAN

Yeah lucky me as I know how to swim. For freshers, it is no big deal. Just step in the shallow end and enjoy the beauty. I have always wondered how it would be like to fall from a ship and then swim all the way back to the shore. I have also spent sleepless nights thinking about the life ending events that might occur. I might be eaten up by a shark or water might fill in my lungs or I might never reach the shore. But believe me or not, I have never prayed for this to happen to me.

TRY KARAOKE

Yeah! This one is my favorite. I have always dreamt of becoming a rock star, having my own band and singing to the crowd. If this cannot happen then at least I shall try my hand in karaoke for sure.

FALL IN LOVE

Love is a sublime feeling that makes you complete. Nothing can be more powerful than the power of love. So fall in love, live every bit of it and cherish the memories that you make. To add on to the fun, kiss your loved one, standing under the Eifel tower, in the city of love and romance.

 PLANT A TREE

And watch it grow. It will remind you of the years you have spent in this world and will also refresh all the memories associated with every passing year.

So start preparing your very own bucket list of things you should do or you want to do before you die and plan to execute each one of them.

Nail art at home!!

Beauty has no boundaries, and so here is the new colorful news! This is something random that I found and am sharing with all the ‘female’ readers.

Lovely ladies! Here is something really new and exciting for your nails. Gone are the days when you had to run to some nail art specialist.

Now you can design your nails at your beck and call. No more going to the market and spending money unnecessarily. Just follow these simple steps and get your nails ready for a little showoff:

• Put on a base coat and let it dry
• Apply vaseline on finger and cuticles (avoid nails). This avoids lacquer from sticking to your fingers
• Fill a bowl with water and drip in color combination you want
• Swirl with a toothpick and drip your fingertips
• Soak for a minute and then take them out and allow excess water to dry
• Now cover with a top coat

And with this little pampering and colorful experimentation, you get the new trendy outlook for your nails.

Another good news, with this method of nil art, you can throw away all your worries related to the design. Just a small pin pointed object like a matchstick or toothpick can be used to create design of your own choice.

For an instance, in a bowl pour few drops of bloody red nail paint in the center...let it spread a little. Then add daisy yellow in the center again...followed by green....and swirl around with a toothpick to create a design of your own.

Lately two methods have gained notice. One is the water marble method, as mentioned above, and the other is the toothpick method, wherein you do not need any water. It just involves putting a base coat on your nails, then wrapping tape on the surrounding areas of the nails and then putting drops of colors of your favourite nailpaints on your fingernail itself. With the toothpick take the color in the center towards outside and then make a design of your own. Let the abstract art dry. Apply final top coat to make the surface of the nail smooth and enjoy the new lively nails!

Designs for this nail art can be done using any prop. If you use toothbrush or a small brush and instead of dripping a drop of nail paint, you spray the paint on water, you will end up with a polka dot print on your nails.

Tie n dye nail art is gaining appreciation worldwide because of its quickness and variety. You don't even have to think about a design while applying. Just some random abstract nail art can make your day. Free from toxic chemicals, this is a revolutionary technology.

Be it a formal party or a casual gathering, just choose your preferable colors and drip in one by one...and all colors will be imprinted on your pretty long nails. Wow, isn't this amazing. So go, check out the market and buy all nail paints of your favourite colors and happy experimenting!!

Keep inventing and keep coloring!!
