Weird ads

What's with these ads implying that the only reason women don't show skin is that they aren't hairless enough? :O :-/

First there was Katrina Kaif in a Veet ad, apparently feeling 'confident' about tearing off her dress sleeves before walking on the ramp only because she had remembered to use Veet to get hair off her arms.

Worse, there's Kareena Kapoor for Anne French who reveals her shoulders and arms while other women pull at their sleeves and scarves: "Twacha ho khoobsurat, toh darr kaisa?" ("Why be afraid when you have beautiful skin?" or something to that effect.)

I suppose the reason she doesn't walk about naked is that she has a hairy torso, and Anne French only works on arms and legs? :O

And did anyone catch that one where a tennis player wears long pants and long-sleeved tops because her arms and legs aren't pretty enough? And she's told she has to wear a tennis dress for the actual match because, don't you know, it's not about how you play, it's about how much (hairless and pale) skin you show? *rolling my eyes*

And of course she wins the match, because hallelujah! her skin is pretty and she can wear a dress now! *roll eyes again*

While writing this I just saw the ad on the TV again,, and it's for some Vaseline body lotion. Apparently, the reason she didn't show her limbs was because they weren't the same colour as her face! So Vaseline comes to the rescue and ensures her legs are as white as her face. Now, I not only wonder why she doesn't use Vaseline all over her body, I also wonder how Vaseline knows exactly what colour all of our faces are! :-/ Does it magically take on the colour of the face of whoever uses it? Or can only women whose faces are a certain shade of white use it? :P

Bits and pieces-1

I cant judge sme1 on wt i hear abt him/her frm othrs..I lke 2 judge ppl on my own..I wont leav d side of a frnd of mine jst coz sme random stranger came wid sme 'proofs'(evn if dey r true) abt him/her..I av full faith in my own judgement n I dnt need sme1's hlp for it..n tht 2 on d basis of jst sme stuff of a complete stranger!..I av my own mind ty vry mch.

I really find it funny the way evry1 (be it his gf or his best frend) is screamin accusin n shoutin at him after every bloddy mail ...dude you all know him since d last what...3 or 4 yrs n yet u need sme stranger to tell u hws he n wts he...gr8 frndship n relationship i must say.

I am not saying hes innocent...I am not sayin that I know wteva is bein said is wrng...m just sayin...m just against d way its bein said...m just sayin tht if der r 2 persons between whom I av 2 choose...I'll go wid d person I thot i knew (key word thot) n c for myslf if wteva is bein said is ryte rather than choosin 2 go wid a guy who cant even reveal his identity 2 me and trust him blindly...who says he has my best interest at heart but still does not hesitate in sharing stuff abt me wid a hell of a lot of ppl too!!

I av a lot of questions too...questions jinke answers only he has...but m not going to start jumping as soon as I get another of those so called proofs..no ...I wud c for myslf judge for myslf n den go about it


Evry1 kindly dont take notice of dis post.......I wanted sme place 2 blabber tke it all out...n wt place betr than my darling blog :D...if u do tke notice..thts fine wid me 2 :D

Part time lover...

I was a part-time lover and a full-time friend.
He wanted neither.
I failed.

Who lost?

I am getting comfortable....

Again...wrote this piece sometime back...never posted it here

I am getting comfortable in those arms a little too much. For the first time, I am not afraid. I am not afraid of myself, I am not afraid of people around me and I am not afraid of the future. Come what may I do not care… and why should I? I have felt the touch—that caring tender touch and I will give up anything for it. I know it is worth all.

I am glad you are sincere.I am glad that I can hear it in your words and see it in your eyes. I am glad it is you. I will never have any regrets.I am glad it is you that I have shared myself with.I will not trade you for anyone. I will not trade this for anything.

I tremble as I write this.I tremble the same way I tremble whenever I am in your arms,for I love you and a part of me will always love you.

You are beautiful and handsome.You remind me of the man who depicts wonderful manners and a strong character. The man who is full of life… who is generous at heart and who doesn't give up even when life shows less hope. True, some mistakes have been made. Some harsh words were said and some things weren't avoided. But,I still believe there was nothing that is not amendable.You are the man whose smile makes my heart skip a beat.The man,I have loved.The man I am proud to love.

Do not worry,my darling,I do not ask anything in return.I do not wish to cause you any harm or distress,for I am just living a dream.A wonderful dream which I know has to come to an end sooner or later.But I dont want to wake up..not yet..not yet....

Tell me...

Tell me my darling,

How does it feel…

How does it feel when I hold your hand and walk with you letting you lead?

How does it feel when my stare lingers on you for just a little longer every time I see you?

How does it feel when I lightly brush my fingers across your arm while passing by?

Tell me my sweetheart,

How does it feel…

How does it feel when my lips tremble and my body becomes weak as you kiss me?

How does it feel when I give myself to you in the most vulnerable of times?

How does it feel when I dig my nails into your bare back while quivering in ecstasy (never planned on posting this poem here....when did...edited this line lol now its back on demand ..dare ne1 tease me on dis :P)

How does it feel when I put my head on your heart?

How does it feel when I caress your hair while you peacefully nap in my arms?

Tell me my life,

How does it feel to know that I love you?

Yes,I am talking about LOVE

I am talking about the love that you feel inside...

The love that will make you cry...

The love that haunts you day and night

So baby, tell me… how does it feel to know that I love you?

Wrote it sometime back...never posted it here...This ones for you Lucky :)
...Andy now dont you start jumping LOL

Fear

I hope you forgive me for treating you the way I do.

Yesterday, I pretended to not notice you when you walked past me.

I love your eyes and I think your smile is beautiful but I won’t tell you that.

I am sorry I keep my emails short. I want to write longer emails but I don’t. I keep them short and to the point so I don’t say anything I regret later.

You wonder why I dont look at you. It's not that I dont want to. Its just that my heart skips a beat and my breath is caught up in my chest whenever you smile at me like that. So I avoid eye contact as much as I can.

I miss having long conversations but words have gotten me into trouble before, I don’t want that to happen again. So I stay quiet.

I am sorry for the delays in replying to your messages. I think too much before I can write anything.

I know I haven’t been around lately. I know if I stop by, I wouldn’t want to leave.

I am sorry I treat you harshly. But I have no choice.

I think I love you…

And I am terrified.

You and I...Us

We sit together against the wall. You and I—side by side—in the darkness. You put your arm around me and start making shapes on my shoulder with your fingers. You turn your head and look at my face while I continue to look straight ahead. You smile. You lean in and kiss my hair (You are the first man who has ever kissed my hair). I hold your hand and trace the lines on your palm. After a while I put my leg between yours. It's comfy. We look at each other and I touch your face. I can't help but touch your face whenever I am close to you. I want to feel it. I want to trace your eye brows and your jaw line. I want to create an image in my mind with my fingers.

You lean closer and brush your nose playfully against mine. I see a blurry smile on your face as I ruffle your hair so you look even cuter.I lean my head against your shoulder and stare in the void while your fingers continue to caress my arm.I realize that this is the longest I have been able to sit in silence with someone. I know you are thinking the same thing.You and I. Side by side. In Silence--- It is pure comfort.

I cannot help but think about the possibility to "us". What would life be like if it was not You and I but an "US"?

I smile. :-)
