Time Tested Beauty Tips by Sam Levenson

Time Tested Beauty Tips
For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge you'll never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; Never throw out anybody.
Remember, If you ever need a helping hand, you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole, but true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows, and the beauty of a woman with passing years only grows!"

Readymade Life -- A Bliss !!

A day as I wake up (as usual late) and was ready to brush up my teeth , I found no water coming from the tap. Also whatever remaining water I had expected in bathroom was all used up by my roomies who later told me that no water supply is coming today in our society. I was in dilemma how to get fresh up and how I will go office today. I thought of skipping office once but it was an important meeting where I needed to be present to answer my supervisor of all the undesired things that I had done in the project. ;)
Suddenly I saw our society watchman roaming down. I just inquired him from window only if some water can be made available. He showed his ugly face and disappointed me.
All alternatives were running in my mind. List of things that were mandatory to do before going office were few like lightening up my stomach , brushing the teeth and taking shower. The very former one could be done in office only , I thought, so focused on later one's only. I thought of teeth whitening chewing gum Happy Dent whose ads were like as if you will get so shining teeth whose flash can match halogen bulb. I thought of giving a try to it and it worked well. At lease there were no bad smell and I myself was feeling like brushed and contended. Now I was well aware that I was not going to take shower but even then I should look like fresh and for that at least some water is needed. But I was not having even a drop of it. I rushed to saloon and asked for shampooing my hair and problem was solved. The men at saloon gelled my hair and I got myself shaved too. Finally applied deo and I was looking like more fresh than everyday. Got compliments in office also and my undesirable things were too get appreciated.!!

Mothers love and care - found in my travelling bag!!

On the eve of mother's day I can share my story and observation where I have found mother's love and care. From last eight years I am living away from my parents , away from home for various stints of school, college and Job.
Every time when I used to visit home on vacation or leave I was welcomed every time with my favourite dishes. And while going, although I used to resist time and again, my mom used to fill my traveling bag by tons of eatable items. She used to fill it in my absence as she was skeptical about me that I will take them out to make my bag lighter. So those were kind of surprise to me when I used to open my bag upon reaching the required place (hostel during my academia or the flat during job.)
I can remember very well, while in my schooling time she used to fill it with fruits,malpuas,thekuas and even a small bottle having chocolate boost or horlicks in it(my favourite one) with a sticker on it having written "everyday with milk!!". Also how can I forget the bottle of ghee with instruction of having it with the Chapati of mess which if in case was hard will go well with it.
Then in college I remember lot of fruits every time along with groundnuts if it was winter.Packets of Biscuits and Namkeens(savour) had replaced the bottles of horlicks and ghee. But again there was one bottle of pickle which was mostly get finished by my motu motu roommates.These all changes were due to my gradual shift in my eating habits with my changing age and interest. And my mother knows it every time what I chose or not to chose to eat. What are my favourites and what I hate most.
With her growing age and her a bit trust on me that I am capable of own survival in my present job doing stage the presence of much eatables in my travelling bag had reduced a lot.She is now much aware that I will not let her take any pain to prepare stuffs for my journey or let her prepare something like laddu or some other eatables to eat it at my flat. So for last couple of years the process of forcefully filling my bag with eatables has stopped , but this time in my recent journey to home she took all pain to prepare various items for me and I have not resisted even this time although not feeling good of her taking pain at this stage just because I came to realise how can I and who am I to resist a mother's love and care.
I realized these things which used to irritate me in college were my biggest possessions while away from home. It is a mother's way to feed her child being away from him/her. Mothers are so much caring!!
Love you and miss you Mummy.
To all readers.. Happy Mother's Day.

Forever in our memories

Written by one of my dear friend , sharing with you people. Hope you will like it as I did.


Remembering my classmates after few years,
My eyes were filled with tears,
Everyone is busy a lot,
No one escaped the destiny's plot.

Saw the girl whom I thought as my best friend,
Oops ! Today she is somebody else's girl friend,
After months remembered about her for a while,
Heard she is happy made me smile.

Project reviews to campus interviews,
Nickname's to last bench games,
Cultural rehearsals to love proposals,
Short term crushes to class room blushes.

Everything is fresh in our mind,
Wish life could just rewind,
Lets laugh,play and rejoice,
Once again become college guys.

Chatting and Laughing we all were in relation,
Till the painful moment of separation,
When it was time to part,
We returned with a heavy heart.

Today life is full of commitments,
And too many worries,
But those cherished moments,
Will live forever in our memories !!!

Strings - My all time favourites

My all time favourite and I can hear them in any mood. I am their die hard fan since my school days only. The guitar work and song lyrics they have , I  never heard in any other Indo Pak artist. Right from their beginning with 'Sar kiye ye pahad' to 'Main to dekhunga'(although it praises Pakistan) I love them all. The duo have their own unique voice and I wonder how they choose who is going to be main lead of any song of theirs.
Both Faisal and Bilal have touching as well as  soothing voice. As far as lyrics are concerned they are very meaningful and as far as I know it is written by either one's father. He must be Gulzaar of Pakistan. Even in bollywood their numbers have been on top of the charts. And seeking their quality only, Spiderman-II's team decided to put their song as Spiderman theme in Asian region. And really it was awesome.
They have worked with many Indian artists like Palash sen, Shaan , Sagarika, Hariharan , Sanjay Datt, John Abraham etc.
Some of my favourite songs from them are

Sar kiye ye pahad
Duur
Dhaani
Titliyan
Na jane kyun
Kahani mohabbat ki
Anjane
Koi ane wala hai
Mera bichhda yar 
Akhri Alvida
Meri kahani

I will surely recommend you to hear them if in case you haven't given them time being addicted to west or masala bollywood.

Why not without ticket!!

I had no other option than to go home for having better health and living amidst my pity condition of health and office exploitation. I took a 2 week off that too very soon from my last leaves of 1 week last month only. Irrespective of result, work and aftermath I just took a train that too without ticket and gone directly to TC and asked him to provide me a seat in AC coach for the "proper" amount. To my amaze , he refused to take money and also hadn't asked me to show any kind of general ticket at least. He just said till 12 in night you can be in AC on a specified seat after that kindly go to general class as
all seats are booked tightly up till last stop.... so sorry!!
For the first time in my life and travelling span I have seen such a honest,innocent and civilized TC.And although I was without ticket he was saying me sorry for not being able to provide seat. Anyways I just rested on the specified seat thinking of what to do after 12 , where would I will sleep, how I will manage and what if my health will start deteriorating suddenly. In between came the attendant, he asked me about dinner. With dinner he asked me if I wish to have some beverages
(read as wine and whiskey). I was amazed. If he can do this he can surely provide me a seat I thought. I just asked one seat arrangement from him , and I was right , he provided me arrangement for three. There were special seats made for attendants only near pantry class. Lovely , now I had to made choice between three seats and pay him his required amount. It was really nice cabin kind of seat with facility to close yourself in cabin if you want. And although it was AC coach it had small AC
window inside the cabin. I was amazed. Seeking the quality and comfort I just overpaid him what he has asked for. On being happy he himself offered me complementary service of free Tea whole through the journey. Means I was treated as if I was prince of Persia. I was adjusted on my seat and before sleeping was enjoying watching a movie. It was 1 AM by then. The attendant came once again and offered me a service (although rate was very high) hearing which made me open my mouth for a
decent period of time.. I was shocked. He asked me if I want a lady companion in my cabin and that too young and beautiful.
My conscience, brain , heart , hormones and even stomach too started shaking and jumping on this deal. I was thinking what all things goes on in train and people do what not to make money. But at this time thinking this was not primary priority, It was the offer that was running in my brain. Something was wrong I thought. TC left me without saying anything , I got this special treatment then this offer. Gosh.. I smelled something was really cooking badly. How come everything was so easy.
Attendant fussed me again for my order but I refused it. An image of a man trying to hide himself from the cameras and people who got caught in some objectionable position (as shown in some news channels) came into my mind and if such thing happens to me what face I will show at my home.. thinking this I refused it at once. My conscience too denied me for any such thing. And this was also a fact that I had not the required amount in cash that he asked for.. ;)  Better try beverage instead indulging in this. But I slept soon thinking millions of things and thought if I have had taken the tickets , would I have been able to see this face of railway or enjoyed this kind of service. It was better to travel  this way boldly then be at safer side and take tickets. I asked myself "Why not without ticket?"

P.S: Even after all expenditure, my total cost of journey was far less than the real cost of ticket.
