MOvie REview

hi everyone,at last i saw the much anticipated movie "the proposal". and my verdict is -- don't waste your money on it!
i had a lot of expectations from this movie, main reason Sandra bullock. i thought she can't go wrong. but i was wrong as this movie has nothing in it for the viewer to enjoy!
No chemistry between the leads! Ryan Reynolds is a good sort of an actor but didn't do well here. the movie is full of cliches ( although all Rom-Com's are cliched). the story was not developed skillfully,the movie lacked funny situations and the characters had no chemistry.... just same old stuff. lastly the eww gross scene(people having no clothes) which was not needed at all! what is wrong with Hollywood.
the story was
a nice guy with a very an extra nice family ,not so nice girl-- fate intervention! a hastily put up ending...
you just couldn't feel for the characters.
over all i won't recommend it! disappointing!
ciao for now

fashion don'ts

Teen Choice awards were held recently.they were disappointing when it comes to fashion. I mean what were these people thinking! with all the money they have, they could afford anything but... BUT they showed up in these( take a look at the pics). the over all look of these stars was Bad with a big B!

Ain't No sunshine!

sharing a very nice song!

Overrated!!!

Don't you think somethings are just way too "overrated". they don't deserve the praise they get. today I'll be sharing a few things which i think are overrated.
Lets see....

• Slumdog millionaire - I think it was a decent movie, but everyone was going gaga over it . it was definitely not Oscar worthy !
• Jai ho - this song is everywhere... Although I'm a huge fan of A.R Rehman but still i think this is not his best piece.
• High School Musical - i simply don't understand why this movie got so popular. Okay okay i accept the 1st one had some nice songs but the second and third ones were disasters!
• Jones Brothers - OMG! what is wrong with people???
• Chanel bag - price £1,650. aaaaa seriously i don't find it pretty. why are people so obsessed with it , maybe coz it's expensive and that they can get a chance to show off. I would never waste my money on something that ordinary. (that is if i have this insane amount of money)!!
• Veganism - u got to be kidding me!!!!! the whole concept of being a vegan is beyond my comprehension.
• The God Father - the book and the movie. it's kinda OK but not phenomenal!
• Sacha baron cohen a.k.a Bruno, Ali G, Borat - his jokes are always crude and obscene. how can people laugh at him----------- He's disgusting!!

you are also welcome to share things that you think are overrated. send in your comments ;)
well, some other day I'll tell you about things that are underrated.
ciao.

A Garden Beyond Paradise

Everything you see has its roots
in the unseen world.
The forms may change,
yet the essence remains the same.

Every wondrous sight will vanish,
every sweet word will fade.
But do not be disheartened,
The Source they come from is eternal—
growing, branching out,
giving new life and new joy.

Why do you weep?—
That Source is within you,
and this whole world
is springing up from it.

The Source is full,
its waters are ever-flowing;
Do not grieve,
drink your fill!
Don't think it will ever run dry—
This is the endless Ocean!

From the moment you came into this world,
a ladder was placed in front of you
that you might transcend it.

From earth, you became plant,
from plant you became animal.
Afterwards you became a human being,
endowed with knowledge, intellect and faith.

Behold the body, born of dust—
how perfect it has become!

Why should you fear its end?
When were you ever made less by dying?

When you pass beyond this human form,
no doubt you will become an angel
and soar through the heavens!

But don't stop there.
Even heavenly bodies grow old.

Pass again from the heavenly realm
and plunge into the ocean of Consciousness.
Let the drop of water that is you
become a hundred mighty seas.

But do not think that the drop alone
becomes the Ocean—
the Ocean, too, becomes the drop!
