Kailasa

Words waiting to be heard ...



No one can sing this so effortlessly addressing a woman than Kailash Kher..
I am such a fan ..

Almost got up dancing classical to this song .. how can you not ? 

Home Coming ...

Sometimes, all you need is a little bit of space that you can call your own.. A beloved's finger to hold onto .. a shoulder to lean on at the end of the day..
Sometimes, all you need is an action .. words can be asked to kept silent.
Its surprising how one can turn her own tables around.
Make the world a confusing place to live in when it was calm as the sky on a sunny day ..
When you love someone so dearly yet choose to walk away only dying to return back & be loved again ..

Yes, its all so confusing ..
Life continues to amuse me .. 

Tick Tock Tick Tock !!

Long absences have become a part of my existence at this blog and everytime i have an excuse! Tough times for the family have consumed all our energies for the past two months .. Dad's surgery + Granddad's ill health + Me getting shots for 3 weeks + a billion mishaps all at the same time have made our days tougher. But now there seems a ray of sunshine after the gloomy rainy days and all is coming back on track except for my back pain which just bloody f*cking refuses to go away ! ARGH !

At this moment i have a almost 17 parallel thoughts ; Most of it pertaining to work. Being promoted to Designer for GAP is a huge deal for me but as the wise spiderman says " With great power comes great responsibility" I am working against time each day at BRFL. Deadlines can take the best of you on the worst of days but for some reason its 04:04am right now and i am dyeing to get to work already. There is just sooo much to do ! So much to begin with ! so much to end ! Its gonna be a roller coaster ride for the next 2 weeks ..So charged !

So my Bestie Via and i had a late night talk about how time is running out and we aren't really making the best use of it. It sparked coz of an interview i read of Monica Dogra of Sha'ir & Func fame. She is woman i adore .. really ! Some women have got it all !

You have got to read this ..

So we have decided every night we make a daily deadline that we have to accomplish by the end of next day. And we are gonna make it work this time.

WAKE UP BUM!!!
Its time to run .. not to run away .. 

A Present.

There are posts that you think of and publish them in a jiffy while there are some that lie in your drafts just because you can't express them right. This is one such post.

Its hard to find someone whose had an association with you professionally and still manages to make a significant impact and I consider myself really lucky to have found one even though it was for a mere 8 months. I feel blessed to have found such encouraging seniors at my workplace that shower me with ideas, support, encouragement & the occasional whacks to set me right! I must have done something terribly right in my last life !
Unfortunately my boss *Honestly i find this word too harsh & its usually thought as someone whose born to screw your happiness.. It sounds better to refer to him as the Creative Director of the Company* quit the job and on his last day, he left a present on my desk.

Marchesa Fall 2011

Since the last few seasons, Marchesa's designs have been so beautiful almost heavenly but it has come to a standstill. Its almost as everytime i end up saying "Its so Marchesa, so typical of them! ". This time around though there is a change. A minor one but a change did take place. With the tulle voulme that they love to do season after season, there was an introduction to structure. Leg of mutton sleeves in Wrap Dresses, leather cut into lace were some new additions which I am guessing is a welcome change!

Done to death.
Yet so pretty!

Dior Fall 2011 .. The show must go on.

When John Galliano Creative Director & Designer at the house of Dior was sacked it was obvious the news would spread like wild fire. It came as a shock to every single soul who has ever known John. I hope he recovers soon, it cannot be the end of another great designer. Whoever will replace him at Dior will have to fit into some really big size shoes.

Dior's Fall 2011 collection was food for the media to aniticipate a new plot in this drama.  But the show went on and I have to admit, it is one of my fav shows in the entire season.

Starting with the colours used.. so rich and luxe. A shade of blue has picked up great attention in this season. I like it call " Oceanic" . Deeper shades of maroon, grey, blue & greens with their pastel versions formed Dior's colour palette.

050311 :D

5th of March happened to an awsome day !
First because my weekend starts on a saturday *Enough reason to thank the universe*
I finally saw "THE BLACK SWAN"
And the biggest was when i found the song that i have been searching since soo long !

The weekend that just went by was highly awaited because i hadn't had a day off since 2 weeks! How much ever I love my job, i need a Sunday to keep my sanity in place ! I can't work like a mad woman!

The Black Swan:
I can't find words to tell you how brilliant, amazing,thought provoking, real, crazy, scary and everything the movie is ! Natalie Portman had a tuff role to play and she broke all barriers of the performance. Hard to imagine if anyone could put a better act than her. It took a while before Nina could get out of my system. Absolutely Fantabluous !

Mila Kunis who plays the role of Lily in the movie has an interesting plot too. She was the perfect casting. With the face she has, she can dance like a virgin ballerina and with the same intensity kick someone's ass that hard !










And then the day ended with HUGE surprise!
I FINALLY found the track that i had been looking out for since the time Sex and The City I released
Its the most awsomest song ever !  I owe you one K !

You know you are

You feel it in your heart

And your burning and wishin

At 1st wait,it won't be on a plate

Your gonna work for it harder and harder

And I know cause i've been there before

Knockin on door with rejection

And you'll see cause if its ment to be

Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

[Chorus]

It's amazing its amazing all that you can do

Its amazing it makes my heart sing

Now its up to you

Patience now frustration in the air

And people who dont care

Well its gonna get you down

And you'll fall (fall)

Yes you will hit a wall

Get back up on your feet

And you'll be stronger and smarter

And i know i've been there before

Knockin on door wont take no for an answer

And you'll see cause if its ment to be

Nothing can compare to deserving your dream

It's amazing its amazing all that you can do

Its amazing it makes my heart sing

Now its up to you

Now I can die peacefully.
