I was interviewed by a famous Hair expert. Here is the excerpt of what had happened in our meeting. “Welcome Sid! How are you?” “Thanks Remo. I am doing great. Trust, you are well too!” His lips curved a little. “Yeah, I am doing well. And you look great man!” I smiled. “Thank you!” “Shall we sit there?” He asked pointing a table and three chairs that was put next to a swimming pool and a coffee shop. “Oh yes,” I said, smiling. I saw a girl standing next to swimming pool. She was clad in lime green colored shirt, blue-colored jean pant and stood on a high-heeled boot. She was slim, simple and yet looking beautiful. The bracelet on her left hand was thin and yet noticeable, and those three pair of studs looked great on her. Moreover, the way she was holding her golden-brownish hair made her look like an angel.

Off-Beat Bollywood Movies

BlogAdda is back with an interesting activity for bloggers this weekend. All we need to do is write about 5 off-beat Bollywood movies that are must-watch according to us. I, being a South-Indian, have watched only a few Bollywood movies. To be frank, I have watched around 50 Bollywood movies, which is very less compared to the long list of Tamil movies I watched.

To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton . That night she slept early. I did not ask why, but then I knew that she must have been terrified by the storm. Maybe, the whistling storm must have scared her, or the ghost stories. Maybe or may not be! I sat on the windowsill with a notebook and the pen gifted by her a year ago. I wanted to write badly. That was peace for me. What should I write? Poem or prose, I asked my heart. I knew the answer though. Poem is the way to express my emotions, but…but…that night I was not interested to pen down one, I said to myself. A ray of hope arose inside me saying. Ah! What’s stopping me from penning down my experience with the storm? And I wrote, “ It was a Monday evening. The weather was terribly bad, and our city was listed under red zone. My colleagues and I...
