High on life

This article is dedicated to people who love only themselves! You could be self obsessed(just like me) or finding ways to add some spice to your life or you could be just single; in any cases m sure you love yourself more than you love any one else on this planet. This obsession (which Ankit would term as ‘idiosyncratic behavior leading to waste of money’) has two major impacts , firstly, the marketers put their fingers where it hurts the most, secondly, after the feel good factor dies off, we just kinda get into a guilt trip.
It could be a heavenly chocolate avalanche form Mochas which I feel is as good as having an orgasm or could be a relaxing erotic massage from the Antara Day Spa. Last week was a little bad coz I had my boss yelling on me and leading to my dampened spirits; a very close of friend and I had a very bad fight over a guy, and to top it all my dad’s perfection and digging in the details about my career (which is good in a way) has kept me worked up. Weekends are like living life king size where I can get up any time I want, eat whatever I want, do whatever I want, but that Saturday I was upset with a list of pending things to be done. I just wanted a break, and that’s when the genie inside me pops up ‘Ma’am, your wish is my command!’ I headed to the Antara Day Spa (located inside The Club, Juhu), humming a beautiful song of Saaiyan by Kailash Kher. Entering the heavenly spa was like being welcomed to a completely larger than life erotic ambience. The lemon grass oil fragrance, the orchids and lilies; and the lights were enchanting and mesmerizing. My main craving to pamper myself was completely taken care by them, a very cute and husky voiced guy offered me some water introducing me to the wide variety of massages, body wraps, and facials, etc they had to offer. I chose a ‘relaxing aroma massage with a medium pressure’ (which is the best for starters like me and suited my pocket too) and in no time I had a masseuse who took me inside the spa room (the wild tigress inside me thought of a masseur instead of a masseuse…after all pampering yourself can be done by imagination too). While she waited outside the room for me to change into a robe I was relaxed with the ambiance of the room which was completely equipped with a spa area and also a steam and a shower room. She took care that I was okay with the volume of the soothing music playing in the background; and the intensity of the lights and started off with a treatment which a queen deserves – she started with soaking my feet in warm water inside a brass container and giving a small brief foot massage. Time for the massage, I was wondering how it will start and all my discomfort about stripping in front of her but was taken care perfectly. She started with using the right amount of the pressure and made sure it was consistent through out the massage. The whole thing was so relaxing that the next I remember was when I was woken up to go into the steam room followed by a shower. I got out of the shower blessing the masseuse who had made my day and the following week also. And while paying the bill I knew I m returning to this place and probably become a member even (saves money and gives you a royal treatment). In all I paid a 1450/- for the massage including the huge tax. Later, I headed to Mochas and ended up relishing a lip smacking chocolate avalanche which was made up of chocolate brownie topped with chocolate mousse and chocolate ice cream.
I would recommend the Antara Day Spa to everyone who love to pamper themselves. This weekend spend some quality time with your partner by requesting for a couple massage and take your relation to a different level. It’s a must do thing… Cheers

Mirror Mirror who is the sexiest of all???

“I love it when it is on my lips. It tastes so good!” exclaimed the frustrated Roshni to her boy friend. “It is so annoying to have you like that! And let me tell you something I HATE IT!” Oh my god! I couldn’t believe they were arguing over a simple lip gloss! I mean isn’t there anything else on this planet to debate upon? Their arguments have proved to be a catalyst for a debate amongst the group! Raj who is a short film director(and always politically right), with dreams of being “the director for a decade” being highly diplomatic, “Women need make up only in front of the camera; otherwise I believe their simplicity bowls me off!” "Oh yes my love, and what do you have to say about that babe you couldn’t get your eyes off last night! Guys I’ll tell you what, she had done up herself so much as if her face was a canvas to paint on! For you guys when it comes to expressing your views, you just want to be nice but in reality strikes it reaches the heights of hypocrisy! ” Tiny’s bold and audacious statements have never been a problem for Raj because he is now used to hearing her over reactions all the time. While all of them were debating upon women’s love for cosmetics, I was getting very curious to know the psychology behind “Why do women actually want to do all of this? Is this a way to grab attention? Or is it a way to pamper herself? Hmm… I had to admit I have seen more disasters then great looking women with make up! Once in a while I do love to get dressed and feel good about my self…. May be women might be looking for an answer to their all time favourite question “Mirror, Mirror, Who is the sexiest of all???”” To interrupt my thesis on this Jenny (who is known for her perfect timing….lolz) “Frankly speaking I hate make up, there was a time when I got addicted to my products and I conveniently wrote off removing my make up!!! The way my skin suffered was ridiculous…Like I dint feel good about myself!” “Jenny, you always had a choice dint you?” our hero, the show stealer Armaan, (looks like I there is no conclusion to this topic…) “Ultimately what matters, is how you want to portray yourself? Do you want to be one amongst the others? Or someone who believes in herself!!! (Aha! there comes goes a psychological explanation to make up and women!) If you are comfortable the way you are, and the way you are not, life will be much simpler… And after all, we all want people who take us the way we are and the way we are not… Trust me beauty simmmmply lies in the eyes of the beholder!” “There goes the award winning speech Armaan… Waah … Waah…. Now how about heading towards Firangi paani sans the war paint??? We are just wasting time over stupid things in life! Let’s rock people!!!!” That was Vimmy, the tom boy of the group, May be I believe in what Armaan had to say… How I wish I would get someone like Armaan!!! He is some one who hates make up…. “But at the end of I feel make up is a mask to cover the low levels of confidence in themselves or may be the only way to pamper themselves is applying make up … Or according to Ankit “I may be one of the idiosyncratic styles to seek attention… So let them apply make up to their heart’s content…”Oh! Let me not get make up in the picture now! My time to get talli now….”Will keep you updated about what happens in my group… Muaaahs!!!

Hello!

Ankit, a close friend of mine has always bullied me to get into people’s minds and also to draw conclusions about why they do what they do? My constant debates with him have left him doing the same things which I do now… Difference being he terms everything as an attention seeking task… (In his lingo attention seekers are “individuals with their own idiosyncratic styles… so let them have their own space!) And to add on to this Tejash, my first cousin (whom I could kidnap coz I have always wanted him as my elder brother), inspired me to express myself and perhaps blog is the best way to express oneself… This blog is dedicated to him….All I want to tell him is “Bro… I love you!!!” Guys, this blog is for you and me… So feel free to post any thing on this planet earth… After all blog exactly means a space to express yourself! Cheers
