Air-Tel Ad......Breaking Barriers.

A simple and beautiful ad with a fantastic message. I especially liked the passage accompanying the print ad, which goes.....

Barriers break
when people talk

The simple act of talking can bring the world together.
In the future,
countries will no longer be divided by languages but shall be united in
dialogue.
Familes will come together in lively conversations,
And people
will be set free by reason, understanding and speech.
Simply put, the world
will be a better place, if only
we talk to each other.

The POTTER Parade

A litte treat for all Potter fans......from a brilliant artist...*MAKANI*

Candy-Coated Literature

Continuing in the vein of yesterday's post........here are a list of "light & frivolous" reads, that I hope to lay my hands on in the near future....

Chick-Lit....a guilty pleasure

The much-maligned “Chick-Lit” genre of books is steadily creeping it’s way into my list of favourite categories.

Sassy heroines.....stylish urban settings.....loving/interfering parents (take your pick!!!).....weight-woes.....office politics.....snotty colleagues.....scummy boyfriends and if things finally decide to look upbeat.....a dashing knight in a Savile-Row suit!! That pretty much sums up your average chick-lit novel.

To all the fans of serious, heavy-duty tomes...chick lit seems shallow and pretentious. The heroines are either scatty blondes, over-worked brunettes or fiery red-heads. They crib about everything under the sun, go on shopping sprees, bag the coveted contract, pull one over their bosses, strike a blow for feminism and in the midst of all that chaos.....manage to end up with Mr.Right!!!

Maybe a little more common-sense and a tighter grip on the purse-strings would help. But at the end of the day it boils down to a blend between escapism and a sense of déjà vu.

Somewhere along the line, we associate with the madness.....the faux-pas.....the search for love or even a pair of killer Jimmy Choos!!! When you have made an absolute fool of yourself.....it soothes the bruised ego to know that there are others like you, treading in the same pile of dung as you have!!

Here are a list of my favourites, which I would recommend for anyone looking out for a breezy, laugh-a-minute read. Enjoy!!

Inspired by BARNES & NOBLE’s Holiday Gift catalog….I decided to make a list of my must-reads for the upcoming months. .....

Accidentally In Love....

I am suffering from "Blogger's Block"....and however ridiculous that sounds, am sticking to my resolution i.e. One post, every day throughout December. It's an exercise in futility, but am trying to break my penchant for procrastination......Once 'n' For All!!!

So here's one of my all-time favourite songs by Counting Crows....with my all-time favourite couple...."Shrek and Fiona"!! Talk about "fairy-tale" honeymoons!!!

The original "Happy Shopper"!!!

Holiday shopping coupled with my uncle's return from Hongkong......I am grinning like a delirious fool!!

Even though the "large" out there seems like an " xtra-small" to me......I am feeling mighty glad with my gorgeous new phone - The Nokia 5610 XPress Music!!

I sincerely, truly hope that I show an equal outpouring of love when my first newborn arrives!!!
