Aviators and Wayfarers

Every month, I have a new "I want" list. This month Ray ban Wayfarers and Aviators tops it. I've been wanting to have a pair of Aviators ever since Sneha & Carol got theirs. I rarely wear shades. My eye doctor told me to wear shades every day because I had a sty once upon a time & Bangalore is so polluted that you have to cover your nose and eyes while travelling. Now, I want a pair of Wayfarers too. I like the square frame and it gives you this hot & serious look. Not that I'll ever wear it. But I just wana have it. Yes, I like buying stuff which I'll never ever use.

Now, I can't buy a pair of sunglasses for 7000rs. That's when I found out where to get both the glasses for less than 500rs. Yes, you get fakes (by fake, I mean an EXACT replica or so) in Bangalore. They have the proper Ray ban sign and Ray ban written on it. On the streets of Brigade, you will find atleast 4-5 vendors selling all types and sizes of Aviators and Wayfarers. Wayfarers, you get in black, red, pink, green and even yellow (Yes, Dhruthy!!) Each of them cost like 300rs. But if you are good at bargaining you can get it for less than 100rs. Depends on your skills!

My favourites are the black and red Wayfarers. I think they look super cool and Aviators are so hot. They look good on everyone. Even me! =] =] =]

Look for less!

Bling me Baby!

The latest trend of this season is sequins. Sequin embellished clothes and accessories are everywhere these days. Dresses, tops, skirts, leggings, shoes, bags and head bands are sequin embellished now. Bling is the new colour of life! There are a number ways to add a little sparkle to your outfits.

Now, the rule of wearing sequined clothes is that they have so much of sparkle in them, that you really don't need any other accessories. Try and wear just one piece per outfit, like a sequined skirt with a solid colour top, a sequined dress with black heels and clutch or a sequined top with a blazer and jeans. If you think a sequined top or dress is too over the top for you, you could always try a head band or heels with sequin details. My personal favourite are the metallic ones especially bronze. I think they look SUPER HOT. I own a pair of black sequined heels which Mez gifted me for my 20th Birthday. I lowe them more than myself!

DO NOT wear all your sequined stuff at one go. You don't wanna end up looking like a disco ball and blind the people around you!

Ok, I was feeling lil weird about publishing this post, because I don't have much idea about fashion and I din't do much research on this subject. But I did collect a lot of pictures :) Feel free to correct me if the above post is crap!

Instant Noodles

This post is about a mail which my dad sent me yesterday - noodles. When I was in school, I rarely had noodles. But after I got to college, instant noodles instantly became a part of my life. Hostel food was really bad and to fill my stomach I started having noodles. Its fast & easy to make. Maggi is the most consumed brand of instant noodles in India. Even Top ramen, Koka & Wai Wai are good. So many types (atta noodles!!) and brands of noodles are there these days. This new noodles is out by horlicks and its called Foodles. How dumb! Supposedly its a healthier version. Yeah right!!

Everyone says that noodles is not good for health. The flavouring powder in particular is just not good for your stomach. Normally, we put the noodles into a pot of hot water, throw in the powder and let it cook for around 5 minutes and then it's ready to eat. Supposedly, this is not the correct way of cooking noodles. By doing this, we are actually boilling the ingredients in the powder, which contain Monosodium Glutamate (MSG). This will change the molecular structure of MSG, causing it to be toxic. The other thing that you may or may not realize is that, noodles are coated with wax so that the noodle will stick to one another & look bright prior to packaging. Consuming the wax regularly from the noodles can cause cancer in the long run. Therefore, it is important to remove the wax from the noodles prior to consumption. It is considered safer if you consume the noodles in dried noodle format than in the soup format as the wax is left behind the boiling water before you mix the noodles with the ingredients.

Correct Way of Cooking:

1)  Boil the noodles in a pot of  hot water.

2) Once the noodles is cooked, take out the noodles and throw away the water which contains wax.

3) Boil another pot of water, add the cooked noodles into the hot boiling water and then turn off the stove.

4) Only at this stage when the stove is off and while the water is very hot, add the flavouring powder into the water, to make noodle soup.

5) However, if you need dry noodles, remove the noodles and add the flavouring powder and toss it to get dry noodles.

My suggestion: Add butter, cheese and oregano to make it more yummier =D

Hello kitty noodles?!?!?!  Seriously? I thought they make only stationary stuff for 1riyal.

Movie Review - Anjaana Anjaani

Lately, I've been dying to watch Anjaana Anjaani. I loved their promos, songs and I love Ranbir Kapoor. Who doesn't? He's so cute! Most of my  friends who watched it said that the movie was bad and its pointless going to the theatre to watch it. So, I downloaded it last night. Yay! I love chick flicks and rom-coms particularly the ones which start with a once upon a time there was a handsome prince and a beautiful princess, blah blah blah, fell in love, blah blah blah and they lived happily ever after! Aww :) :) I hate horror, thriller or real life inspired movies.

So, coming back to Anjaana Anjaani, the movie sucks ass. I watched first hour of that horrible movie, till they decide to go to Vegas and then I slept off. So this review is of that 1 hour. Rest half, Google and read it. The movie goes like, 2 losers - Ranbir Kapoor & Priyanka Chopra try to suicide so many times, but they fail. Hence they decide to live for 20 days more, do all the fun stuff they always wanted to do in life and then try to jump off some stupid bridge again and kill themselves. Some parts of the movie were ok. Just OKAY! Zayed Khan - why is he still acting? The only thing I liked is Priyanka Chopra's name - Kiara. How I wish my name was Kiara :) :)

If you liked Anjaana Anjaani, then I'm sure you will like Tarzan and Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag!

Next on list : Dabangg!! :) :) :)
