What happens between my Ears and Me!

What happens when I listen to my favorite song in full volume! What exactly happens between me and my ears?

Its a whole world of its own..:). A song can take me to places, picture myself in that place singing that song.
Its like a refuge. 

The Colors!

Why do I like Bollywood so much? Not because I am Indian. But the colors, the vibrancy, the people, the life!

I feel happy when I see Bollywood. They created a world of their own which has good music, scenic locales, simple stories, feel good movies, where you feel happy when you leave the theatre.

I am not really a fan of grey, black and white. I like Orange, Yellow, Green! This is Bollywood. Vibrant and Colorful! Here's cheers to my dear thing. Just like you tune in to your favorite radio station, your mind likes to tune in to its favorite thing.

And why your mind likes certain things, you dont know..:). But do satisfy it. Just like hunger for stomach, mind has its own hunger of things it loves to feel and see. So, satisfy its senses!

Live Life King Size?

What does 'Live Life King Size' mean?

Do what you feel like doing.
Eat what you feel like eating.
Sleep like a baby, as if you were born today and you don't know what the hell is going on. Just before going to bed, just think this way, you will sleep like a baby.
Dont think you are here to solve 'World' hunger. You have your own issues in life.

Living life 'King' size doesn't mean you should sleep on a King size bed. Live life by being content with what you do.

If you ate too much fat, workout. Dont worry. Its ok. Everything you eat gets burnt eventually. Eat whatever you like. This is just one life. Now, this is 'Living life King Size'.

If you love something, have money, then buy it, if you don't, save money and buy it. Be fulfilled in whatever you buy. If you are not satisfied, then don't just buy it just because others bought it.

Good Music!

Good music is like oxygen. Pure fresh air. It keeps me going. Its like flowing water. Good Music puts me to sleep.

Good music taught a lot about life. That just like there are happy and sad songs. Life has its ups and downs. But you still keep going. 

Amma..why did you spoil me?

So, I hail from Andhra Pradesh, Land of great food. Mamidikay pappu, gongura pachadi, chintakay pachadi, but we eat everything with rice.

Rice with ghee and all these items is just heavenly to eat. Its unhealthy though..:(. I grew up with these tastes in my mouth and now all of a sudden I come to a diet conscious country. Yes, in USA, we count everything we eat.

And we categorize things like 'Rasam' and 'Sambar' to the 'soup' category. 'Rice' comes under carbs. So, I am this cultural confusion. On one hand, my taste buds are liking what i am eating.

But my brain tells me 'Hey...stop, you are eating too much rice', How to balance. When I compare 'Subway' or 'Chipotle' with Mamiday pappu, how to choose..Great ethnic confusion..eh?

Rich and Famous!

No matter how rich and famous, you become. The human emotions remain the same. We all cry when our loved ones die. We all feel happy when a baby is born.

Queen Victoria must be eating from a 'silver' plate and spending millions of pounds for her clothing. But at the end of the day, if his son or daughter dies, she and an average woman getting daily wages would cry the same way.

Human emotions remain same and you cant get the person back who died with money. So, what good does money do?

You need to have enough money but not too much. We still need to look at an item in the mall and say, 'Wish I had money to buy that'. That keeps life interesting. If I could buy everything, I still keep some things in the store and not in my house. That makes them special. 

Where are you from?

Someone said they are from Delhi. The other friend said they are Orissa. Every place I hear, I remember something about it.

Delhi reminds me of parantha, eggs with a pile of bread, beautiful girls, pure hindi. Women wearing hands full of chudi and mehendi. Mehendi is a big thing in Delhi..trust me. I was in the Delhi airport, was observing some girls. How they get ready. Most of them had Mehendi for some reason, the ones married had hands full of Bangles. And they were on phone, most of them.

Mumbai..Ahh Mumbai reminds me of sultry and humid climate. Street-smart people. Good food. Eclectic food, that is you can find food of any culture here which is amazing! And people in Mumbai can cook anything from Italian to Russian. And these people never visited these countries, they just know! How I have no idea.

Calcutta! Ahh Calcutta, there is a cuisine with this name..:)..haha.. So, Calcutta reminds me of 'fish'. :) And Rani Mukherjee.

Hyderabad, reminds me of Hyderabadi Biryani, people who speak urdu + telugu mix in an interesting way. They should have a new language of their own.

Gujarat! Reminds me of Garba and Dandiya! Patel brothers who own most of the gas-stations in USA.

Now, lets go International..:).

China reminds me of Green tea, skinny people, beautiful skin. What else do you want? They eat really healthy food in my opinion.

Italy reminds me of pizzaa.

French reminds me of perfumes.

Eiffel Tower and Paris remind me of Coffee, Cafe Latter, Cappucchino and Cafe*.
