Brainzz and Beauty is a Rarity
It sometimes happens in life that something beautiful happens to you =)
Has happened to me a couple of times too, but this time it is different
Why shouldn't it be? Just like every other person is different, similarly moments are different as well. =)
I kept on coming across the word Synergy alot in the past few months but I now truly believe that its become a part of my life... my mind has synergized with a new friend of mine.
Its very rare to find such individuals with such mental wavelength that matches your own. And I don't know every time she does it I'm left dumbfounded =o ... It has just started to happen more often now... is my face so easy to read? I dun remember this happenin in the past =/ think.She names it
It really gives me the creeps at times =p
How can a person be so damn accurate??? (just by reading the face?)... Such a person must have to be very sharp or maybe its more to do wid her 6th sense =)... hate to admit it, but I feel that women aren't so dumb afterall.
There still exist some who surpass men =/ but whatever she never used it against me, rather I've always felt that it has been a soothing force to me... today I finally feel that there's always going to be someone out there for me when I'm in need...
Maybe I might be wrong and might not find anyone around me tomorrow... but then again I'm so used to being left stranded that it won't affect me a bit =)
How ironic, life sometimes teaches you certain things the hard way!!
Whatever, I've always known a way to make the most out of my current situation irrespective of all worries and troubles!!
I've really remained sulken somewhere deep in the sands of time all this long, but this time God has sent an angel to comfort my troubled mind '_'
It feels as if I'm dreaming when I'm spending time wid her ... could she really be an angel?
it reminds me of Strings' new song Koi Aanay wala hai, where John is the Angel... (in my case its her though =)
Have never seen an angel, but there's no harm in describin her as one I guess ^_^
wid hair like a sheath of silk, wid skin so smooth and fair, wid eyes so bright and clear like crystals, wid lips resemblin strawberries. God really spent quite some time in making her *aah*
Maybe that's why I thought of namin her Strawberry Margarita which is so refreshing and soothin that u feel the chills flowing throughout your body.
I dun even need to talk bout her personality which is so charismatic and magnetic ... I must say I'm lucky that she has the hots for such a simple person like me =) but you never know what might click with the other person.
Its just little things in life that do the trick...

A new. . . Dawn
I woke up this mornin not knowing that this could be the day my fortunes would change...You might have heard phrases like 'waking up to a bad dream or a nightmare' or 'waking up to an alarm clock' or to the voice of your mom shouting 'get up, its time to go to school, college or office’ but rarely do you hear the phrase 'waking up to a text'
Yeah lately this is my phrase and every morning I wake up to a lovely text which is ‘Good mornin...' Something which enlightens my mood and makes my day...
Well this day was like no other but this time it was a different text ‘Good Morning, come outside’…I got ready, went outside and much to my amazement it was Saira ...
She sometimes just amazes me =)
She has this knack of doing something out of the world and she surely didn’t disappoint me this time either... A gift to sweep you off your feet, a gift to leave you breathless, a gift with so much promise, a gift to make me believe that I am the best... Though, she didn’t have to as she is a gift to me but its not Saira if she doesn’t do anything short of extra-ordinary..
We headed for a long drive in her car at 5:30 in the morning after fajr prayers and when I asked where we are heading to, she just looked at me and smiled… After half an hour we reached the 'Devil’s Point'....it surely didn’t look like the devil's point rather the opposite, as an angel was sittin right beside me and as we gazed into the wild SEA with the water sprays splashin onto our faces ... it just felt so pleasantly soothing... and by God it was an amazing sight to watch. I can't remember when I last felt so glad and pleased from the depths of my heart ^_^ ( How ironic, good times pass by so soon and you dun even realize it)
Next Stop...
We went for breakfast at 'Pie in the sky', had some delicious cookies and Espresso to wake me up
10:00am
Off to Park towers and we stayed there till 12:14pm
I thought about eating at Arizona Grill, and there is a connection b/w the two of us as we parked our car at Arizona...I just think of something and she reads my mind...It really freaks me out at times
this time too, I was like shocked.
We ordered one dish to share as ‘Sharing is Caring’ =D
I wanted to have Beef Steak as I am tired of havin chicken always
I realized one thing that she didn’t feel shy around me for a second even, even though she is smokin’ hot and everywhere we went people were lookin at her... rather starin at her but she ignored all gazes except mine.
And the respect for her kept growing more and more with every passing second...
Anyway then as usual we ordered the 'Arizona Brownie' and the 'Chocolate Mousse'
umm mmmmm.... I remember the first time she ordered the brownie I was hesitant... as I'm not so fond of brownies, but this was somethin else to my amazement =)
Shucks, I was so full by then, just felt like hitting the bed (aah)
From there, we went to her house & this time I prefered to be in her room. I called her sisters too and then we sat there chit chatting and having fun till 6:40 almost.
Time flies by when you're with people who make you feel at home... I was getting too close to Saira and I began to think
"I always get emotionally attached to any person who talks to me a lot and who's always there for me but I always end up getting hurt...Will this time be different?"
Though Saira was different than all the others I’ve met before...
She started asking me what was I wondering, maybe she read my mind again or maybe I was acting paranoid =/
I refused to tell and then she shocked me by reading my thoughts yet again and this time out in the open in front of her sisters =o
Silence was the order of that room for the next 10 seconds as I sat there in awe and her sisters staring at me too Tears rolled down my eyes to my cheeks and I nodded...
Her sisters gave me a group hug and my cheeks must surely have gone from brown to pink... =)
Today, I told her about my blog too… and she made me delete every last bit of the things I wrote uptill now and requested me to start all over again...
She made a promise that every word I'll write from now on would be either of ecstasy or elation and no more out of depression . . .

Skin Care Tips..(taken from Yahoo)
Pomegranate
The hundreds of ruby-colored seeds inside pomegranates were once thought to symbolize fertility, and given the fruit's proven powers as a strong antioxidant, it has given birth to a huge number of products, including designer juice and high-end skin-care creams. The pomegranate's power comes from ellagic acid, a type of polyphenol, which is an antioxidant found in red wine and green tea. Antioxidants seek out and neutralize cell-damaging free radicals that come from the environment (pollution, UV rays) and from the body's natural aging process. Ellagic acid has been shown in some studies to neutralize free radicals more effectively than the other polyphenols found in green tea and red wine. It's also more stable in skin-care products than some other antioxidants, like vitamin C, which can lose potency when exposed to light and air.
Grapefruit
Until the 19th century, grapefruit was grown purely as an ornamental fruit. Rarely eaten, it was known only for its looks - an interesting harbinger of its modern-day promise to improve ours. A 2005 study by the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, in Chicago, showed that the scent of grapefruit on women made them seem an average of six years younger to men. Grapefruit's main use in skin care, however, is as a citric acid. Like any alpha hydroxy acid, citric acid loosens the bonds between skin cells, allowing dead ones to fall away, revealing smoother, more radiant skin.
Mushroom
No wonder the Super Mario Brothers got a jolt of evil-fighting power whenever they ate a mushroom. Mushrooms have long been used in Asian cultures as remedies for everything from low energy to cancer. The extract of several Japanese mushrooms has been shown to reduce inflammation, which can affect collagen in the skin and contribute to changes associated with aging, such as the appearance of fine lines. Reducing that inflammation keeps skin cells vital and functioning and also suppresses irritation so that other active ingredients, like antioxidants, can do their jobs.
Shiitake mushrooms have multifaceted benefits for the skin. They contain antioxidants that block proteins known to cause cell breakdown; they provide chemical exfoliation; and they also contain kojic acid, which has a lightening effect on age spots and discoloration, making skin appear brighter over time.
Pumpkin
Despite its prevalence in favorite sweets, such as pies and muffins, pumpkin is quite acidic. And the enzymes in pumpkin act like salicylic acids, chemical exfoliants that encourage skin cells to turn over more rapidly. Pumpkin is also a carotenoid, a derivative of vitamin A, which is indicated by its orange color, and that makes it an antioxidant in addition to having exfoliating properties. Pumpkin seeds are a good source of zinc and have been used as a natural remedy for acne. Studies show that zinc has an effect similar to that of the common antibiotic tetracycline.
Bamboo
Bamboo is one hardy plant. Not only is it one of the fastest-growing plants on earth (some species grow more than three feet a day) but its strength and sustainability have also made it a favorite of architects looking for environmentally friendly building materials. Although the Chinese have used bamboo for centuries (the hardened secretion from the stalks has been taken internally to treat asthma), its popularity is only now growing in the United States. Bamboo pulp is being woven into fabric that retains antibacterial qualities even after it is washed. And in skin care, finely milled bamboo powder is used as an exfoliant in cleansers and scrubs. The smooth bamboo particles are less harsh than the scraggly, uneven grains made from salt and nuts, making it safer and less irritating to sensitive skin.
