Blog Day - Belated!

Oops!! I almost forgot.
But because its still 31st August in some parts of the planet so I thought I'll quickly squeeze in. :)

I had read about it a while ago on Ganga's Blog and thought yeah...I'll remember. But ofcourse, thats expecting too much from my memory!

More info on Blog Day 2005 can be found at http://www.blogday.org. It turns out that the day 31st Aug was not chosen at random but if you look carefully "3108" had a striking resemblance to the word "BlOg"..like so

Very smart indeed!!
In the words of Nir Ofir, the founder of Blog Day - "August 31st, bloggers from all over the world will post a recommendation of 5 new Blogs, preferably, Blogs different from their own culture, point of view and attitude. On this day, blog surfers will find themselves leaping and discovering new, unknown Blogs, celebrating the discovery of new people and new bloggers."

So being the noble citizen of "Blogsphere" that I am, here are my 5 links for recently found blogs of note!

-- Conversations with Dina
-- Joho The Blog
-- Brad Ideas
-- Trevor's Blog
-- Russell Beattie Notebook

I think all the five links above are quite different in the geographic location of writers, to the style to the content. So..go now and enjoy!

:D

There is magic...

...in the hands of a healer.

Wish I knew Reiki or Physiotherapy or similar skills where people are healed by the hand.
*sigh*

Keeping your body healthy is an expression of gratitude to the whole cosmos - the trees, the clouds, everything.

-- Thich Nhat Hanh

Pain (any pain--emotional, physical, mental) has a message. The information it has about our life can be remarkably specific, but it usually falls into one of two categories: "We would be more alive if we did more of this," and, "Life would be more lovely if we did less of that." Once we get the pain's message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away.

-- Peter McWilliams

I am too young....

...to be suffering from backaches.

*That is what I keep telling myself!* But ofcourse none of us are exempt from it. Especially stupid, bad posture holding people like me.

Caution- This post has been identified as 99.5% on the Rant-o-meter.

So many of you sent your wishes...and I rested. I swear I did... only came online a bit when I was bored out of my senses. But yesterday back at work and back came the back ache. (3 backs in one sentence!) So have an appointment with the physio today. Hopefully she will find out whats ailing me and rub the pain away!

If discomfort was not enough, this Sunday that just went by, saw me miss my first Mid Year Party at my workplace that I was supposed to lead. I was voted the President of the Employee Social Club at work about 3 months ago (youngest President, if I may add). And I had been working hard to get my first social club party as president a great success. But as God would have it: Backache + Cold/fever = No Party!! :((((((((
Now I will just have to content myself with the pictures of the party...... which I hear turned out to be one of the best ever!

I don't know....if its some kind of lesson God is trying to teach me or what!! What have I done?! God please tell me!!

*siiiiiiiiiiiiiggghhhh* :|

Please all - No pity.
No comments.

No Health, No Beauty, No Diet!

HEALTH:
Gardish mein hain taare!
*my stars are in ...gardish? ummm... a bad time!* Best I could do in this dazed state.

Yesterday morning at work - got a shot of pain in the lower back while running up the stairs - rushed to doc - strained muscle - told to go home n rest - whole day in severe pain ad grogged with pain killers.
Today - second visit to doc - pain a little less but continuous n very uncomfortable - advised to take rest of the week off from work.
At home - caught the cold from my bro - even sneezing makes the backache terrible!

Now eating medicine for back n cold/flu!

BEAUTY:
Lets not even talk about it....I look terrible!!!

DIET:
Feeling so sick that don't feel like eating anything. Only have a little something before my medicine.

:(
Been laying in bed all day to rest. Sooo bored... so here to eat ur heads!
:)

Of Beauty, Health and Diet!

All of you boys who after reading the title have gone...."Oh! A girlie post again!" read on. As I think there will be stuff that even you will find useful. ;)

This weekend that just passed - I finally gathered courage and decided to put eggs on my hair! And considering the fact that I'm not such a huge fan of eggs and their smell used to make me nauseous for years...it definately was a big feat for me to undertake!

And all that for what? - for silky, shiny after effects!!

While making my mind about the whole egg-thing...I struck a conversation with a punjabi friend. He used to be a sardar till about 2 years ago. And I thought if anyone would know about hair - he would!
So, I told him my plans and he said, "Hey! I'll tell you what, use Beer!!!"
I was like :O "You gotta be kidding me!"
But he was very serious. He said that he had used it many a time and his locks would turn out absolutely great. And he'd recommend it to anyone who was willing to try!

Yet another girlfriend told me - "Use black Tea!"
Then she went on to explain that hair rinsed with black tea that has been cooled down (to prevent burns!) gives instant shine to hair! An excellent trick for last moment bling to your tresses!

Wah!! I havent tried the beer and the black tea trick yet - but all those who have known about it or better still who have tried it -Please concur!! :)

The above two incidents gave me an idea! I thought that with sooooo many blogger-mates that I know in blogsville, surely some might have awesome tips n tricks like these. For Beauty - Health and Diet!

So I Call Upon Thee,
O wise Blog-mate of mine.
Write down for me,
Three tips that'll make me shine!

:D So, your choice - Give one, two or all three kind of tips if you know any or have been imparted the wisdom by your Granny!!

Mine -
Beauty: Use Vitamin E (in capsule or serum) on your face to get smooth skin and lighten acne/cut marks etc.
Health: Leave work during your lunch break - put on your running shoes and have a jog around the block everyday.
Diet: Make sure to have atleast 2 serves of fruit per day!
