The Day I Went Straight...

It was my sis's wedding....and while my sis was fussing over which hairstyle she should choose for her embellished lehenga-choli attire,I was having my own worries. I was going to wear a beautiful Kashish designer Anarkali which would surely give me the look of the 'pretty dulhan ki behan'. I was totally looking forward to straightening my hair. I wanted to accessorize my hair with a chic mang mehendi and leave the strands loose_something like the pic below:

I had longed to do my hair in this way for a long time and what's more of a bahana then your own sis's wedding???!!! So you can't imagine how happy I was when mum gave me her permission and said I could temporarily straighten my hair before the wedding!:):):):)

So the day before the wedding I was all set to set my hair straight and went to the nearest salon available. Even before I could enter,I got a call from mum_there was a problem_she wanted me to come home immediately_oops!!!  It turned out that guests from abroad had already reached the hotel where the wedding was going to be held and we had to go there immediately. It was a total mess up!  I had not got my hair straightened yet and I was afraid that my dream hairdo would just remain a dream :(.................

It was amidst all the tension and excitement of the wedding that I got this crazy idea!! It was 2:00pm on the night before the wedding and my cousins were playing antakshari in my hotel room. Everyone was enjoying and having fun while I was sitting in a corner and giving envious looks to all my cousins' straight hair and pulling a long face:-(

The phone rung and as none of my cousins bothered to pick it up,I picked it up.It was dad and he wanted us to stop partying and go to bed. When I kept the receiver back, I saw it_ around five big fat phone directories were lying on the highly polished floor of the hotel room_BINGO!!

I knew it was weird and crazy but as long as it gave me straight hair, I was ready to give it a try....So when all went quite and even the future bride next to me was fast asleep, I carried those bulky directories to my bed side,two at a time(they were too heavy!). Then I combed my hair nicely and  spread them on my right hand side like a sheet and placed those bulky directories on my wavy hair.

Then praying hard I closed my eyes and slept.I was woken up by my hysteric sis in the morning who had unfortunately woken up early and witnessed the weird sight of the books on my hair! She wore the 'girl what's got in to you'  type of look on her face. She demanded for an explanation and I sang my sad story to her(after all your sisters are your best friends!)...First she couldn't control her laughter but then her face turned serious and she gave me the best of her smiles(the one she gives me when she admires me_my favorite smile:)) She hugged me tight and asked me to look at myself in the mirror.........I turned and.............GOSH.........IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!!............... SLEEK STRAIGHT HAIR!!..... IT HAD WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.............. I was beyond myself...finally my wish had come true_thanks to those directories!!!

So after my crazy hair experiment I looked something like the pick below on the wedding day:.....FULTOSS GORGEOUS WITH STRAIGHT HAIR:

And now I sing:

I got straight hair yay yay yay!

I din't use a straightener nor any hair spray,

all those nasty knots are at bay

I got straight hair yay yay yay!

It wasn't tough, it was child's play,

 all those curls have gone away

I got straight hair yay yay yay!

they are glam,they are gorgeous,

 luscious and straight all the way,

I got straight hair yay yay yay!

Life in the Heat~ Summer Love!

Every summer has a story

& here goes mine...♥

Summer is one season I always have waited for since childhood! It was during this time I had school holidays.It was during this time I forgot all my worries,wore flip flops,water fights,partying & drinking lemonade in the shades,hopped to the beach, made sand castles. It was during this time I have had the sweetest and sunniest memories I will always cherish!
   

And even now  my love for this period of time has grown more with every passing year.

But now that I have grown up , I worry about my tan skin & crazy days more than enjoying and having fun during d summer..All thanks to the harsh rays!

Sometimes Staying indoors just for the fear of  getting tanned seemed ridiculous but You know women...very conscious about d things they love!

When I was 18 ,I started using all kinds of creams, sun screen lotions, fruity face washes, in vain...The sun always would win!

During d early days of this summer I met a remarkably chirpy and lovely girl at a party organised by one of my friend.
She was this girl you would envy of, dancing without fear,flaunting her curves , not fearing anything....anything meant even the harsh sun rays!

I was amazed by this.I kept stealing glances at her, Finally at lunch I put a smile on my face and introduced myself to her..Her name was Kyra.

She spoke in a way too friendly manner ,within minutes I am sure people around us knew we shared a good camaraderie.I was surprised at my own behavior, few hours before I hardly knew her and now we were here speaking endlessly about nothing and everything.

We made plans to meet again at my home.I was very happy to find someone like Kyra to spend my boring summer with!

And when we met d next time it was another story.I had prepared Mango lassi, cornflakes chatni,Amras ki khadi,fresh fruit salad and apple shake.Kyra was all praises for the delicious dishes I had prepared;) Then we did some online shopping at snapdeal!Had the best girly time together!

Later on Kyra talked me into a picnic at the beach & when she saw my discomfort to go outdoors in the scorching heat, she shared with me the secret of her lively skin in spite of the heat and  forced me to apply Lakme sunscreen........& d only thing I remembered during d picnic was the talking & laughing and rolling on the grass!Not even a single thought about d sun doing me harm!And since then I have considered Lakme sunscreen sun expert my best summer friend:)

And this was d time I had no tans, no rashes! I was so happy...And Lakme became my summer savior!Further I was so happy with this super cool product I liked their facebook page and then Here I am writing a blog about my experience.

Thanks to Kyra.It was due to her that after almost a period of 5 years ,I now do not fear of playing,enjoying  in the sun!Its like I can relive my childhood:)

Most of all thanks to the best sunscreen brand ever~Lakme..You made me love the summers1!Love you and your products!

PS:I love Lakme fruitilicious facewash too!
