SINFULLY CHEENILICIOUS- IbiboBlogs

The search for a Soulmate.

October 6th, 2008

When male knowledge joins with female transformation ,then a magical union is created,this communication is “Wisdom of Life”……Paulo Coelho.

Why is it that we sometimes connect instantly and deeply with certain people as if we know them forever?How can someone think exactly like you,understand you ,know you ,before really ‘knowing ‘you?Is that our soulmate?Dr.Shivani,this one is for you……!!

There are various theories and definitions of the word ‘ Soulmate ‘

1. Some believe that a soulmate is someone with whom a person has shared other life and times ,i.e. Theory of Reincarnation.Relationships are woven from threads of past life experiences and with souls we

have encountered long ago say Buddhists and Karmic Theory believers too.

2. Plato believed that a soulmate is a split-half,we are all searching for the other half to make us whole.

3. People are predestined to be drawn together by destiny or fate.

4. Richard Bach says,a Soulmate is someone who has the locks to fit our keys and the keys to fit our locks.When we feel safe enough to open our locks ,our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly be who we are and stop pretending .

SOULMATE seems to be THE BUZZ WORD these days…..From selling lingerie to shoes to pets ,the word ’ soulmate ‘ does the trick! Even the US Presidential campaign has used it,what with McCain calling Sarah Palin his soulmate on Fox.Hope Mr.Zardari is listening to that one!

Well for someone like me who has been on an eternal diet of Yash Chopra movies like Kabhi Kabhi,Silsila,Chandni,Dil toh Pagal Hai ,the concept of soulmate has been a secret belief and a fantasy for a long time. But does such a soulmate really exist? What if there are more than one ?hahaha…

Sensibility never abandons me,alas!! ………both men and women are always seeking certain qualities in each other,it is this search for CHARACTERISTICS that leads us to the search for a conceptual soulmate.Our sense of self deep in our subconsciousness searches for the other half of self ,a completely new outlook to life ,a view of life from a different perspective maybe.Since I became a Reiki Healer almost 12 years ago, have been reading about Karmic Relationships ….. have experienced karmic connection , a few instances of my life.My school teacher Mrs.Saxena and I share a unique relationship , connection indescribable even today,years since I passed out of school………Another instance where I experienced the’ connect ‘ ……each had our own paths in life and were like two passing ships at sea …..shared some moments then separated ,never to meet again .

Love in a marriage and experiencing the connect /vibe/

chemistry , are two different things in life.People are multidimensional ,we need to spend time to learn about each other,to understand each other.A marriage especially is not only about love or chemistry ( Fairy tales and Mills and Boon, down you go the garbage chute!!!)Marriages are all about Endurance training! hahaha…. what does one advocate to someone who has got married yet remains unhappy,still searching for a soulmate?For people who practise monogamy, the politically correct answer would be to say ,” I have found my soulmate ” and devour the partnership. Finally the purpose of a marriage partnership is to develop a feeling of wholeness,completeness…isn’t it?Then let it serve the purpose. Full stop to the search for a soulmate.

Move ahead in life with your mate,combine your male and female energies ,learn lessons differently ,sort out emotions and circumstances of life ,accepting yourself first and then your mate……….. because…….THIS UNION WAS DESTINED TO BE.

Your SOUL prefixed with your MATE makes a perfect…SOULMATE!!

October ,being Amitabh’s Birthday month, here’s

CHEERS TO AB !! Happy Birthday to you!!

CHEERS TO ETERNAL SOULMATE SONG KABHI KABHI …

Catch this in HIS MASTER’S voice on www.youtube.com

Kabhi Kabhi

Kabhi kabhi mere dil main khayal aata hain
Ki zindagi teri zulfon ki narm chhaon main guzarne pati
to shadab ho bhi sakti thi.

Yeh ranj-o-gham ki siyahi jo dil pe chhayi hain
Teri nazar ki shuaon main kho bhi sakti thi.

Magar yeh ho na saka aur ab ye aalam hain
Ki tu nahin, tera gham teri justjoo bhi nahin.

Guzar rahi hain kuchh iss tarah zindagi jaise,
isse kisi ke sahare ki aarzoo bhi nahin.

Na koi raah, na manzil, na roshni ka suraag
Bhatak rahin hai andheron main zindagi meri.

Inhi andheron main reh jaoonga kabhi kho kar
Main janta hoon meri hum-nafas, magar yoonhi
Kabhi kabhi mere dil main khayal aata hai.

Soul Searching (ly ) yours,

Sugar

Chick-lit Brigade and Me

September 24th, 2008

I recently read the review of Meenakshi Reddy Madhavan’s book “You are here”.EM as she likes to be known,is the blogger of “Compulsive Confessor” fame who got a fabulous offer to write a book about today’s modern and financially independent young women from Penguin India .Meenakshi has a great fan following and her blog is a rage among the young and hip crowd.In her book,she talks of smoking ,drinking and casual sex as accepted and hip culture among the yuppie ,working and liberated women of today.Her book belongs to the ‘chick lit’ genre which is essentially fiction written for and marketed to young ,single working women in their twenties and thirties.Chick -lit books are all about Martini glasses ,lipsticks and in the Indian context also include bindis ,backless blouses and not to forget innumerable boyfriends.Yes ,you are correct,Kavya Vishwanathan’s book “How Opal Mehta got kissed,got wild and got a life ” belongs to this very same genre.These young girls in their early twenties are causing quite a storm in the desi media.

So is the book in the news just because sex sells or is there a paradigm change in the social values of a young ,modern Indian woman of today? The tell tale signs were visible during my recent visit to Pune,India.

1.I found a lot of young’ babes’ in their twenties smoking outside Fergusson College at a popular hangout Vaishali ,which I myself used to frequent during my college days in Pune.’Vaish’ is a very fun place ,great crowd ,fab South Indian joint,popular with families as well .Girls did smoke even before but in discotheques,pubs or in private places or around Osho Commune ,Koregaon Park,not publicly like this.Shisha Cafes are a major rage and the hookah culture seems to have caught up with the orthodox crowd of Pune.Ironically,the ‘Baap ‘of shishas here -Dubai city ,has banned smoking in public places,malls ,parks etc and are implementing this law by fining law breakers.

2.Living -in couples as well as gangs of young boys and girls sharing flats to gether, has also as a concept reached Pune.This could be the result of high rentals and the influx of IT and BPO crowd from other states .Marathi crowd is too rigid and orthodox to accept such a concept socially,many societies of residential complexes have banned renting flats to bachelors and spinsters.Living -in as a concept hit me approx .twelve years ago when I used to frequently visit IIM Bangalore hostel to meet a friend.Later my stay at the very yuppie Lokhandwala Complex at Andheri ,Mumbai( where all the whos who of television and bollywood stay) taught me a lot about cohabitation with the opposite sex,was just a spectator not a participant..hehehe..!

3.Young working and liberated women have taken to drinking ,not just socially , some have become hardcore addicts too.

4.The concept of marriage as an institution has undergone a tremendous change in the last decade.Marriageable age has shifted from twenties to thirties with focus on careers ,so naturally the views and thought processes of a marriageable girl have changed as well.A society habituated to a’Man’s world’ is slowly awakening to see career women opting out of motherhood(DINKS syndrome) or handing over the entire jugglery of home and kids to parents,inlaws or sometimes even to house husbands !

4.Simply switch on Television and watch any of Ekta Kapoor’s soaps to catch the change in Indian women,however dramatised, still even with the pinch of salt ,the influence of’THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL’ is unmistakable.Women central characters marrying ‘n ‘number of times and disposing their men like used face tissues….hmmmm ” a case of too much issue over a tissue” ? hehehe…Men of today want chic ,hip,girls as their partners and the concept of virginity is passe’… not my view , but as quoted in innumerable articles on Indian women of today.

Sometimes experimentation and rebellion and at other times loneliness is the reason for young women going overboard in life.

Does dressing,smoking ,drinking ,casual sex make a woman modern? Why is it getting so difficult for young ,financially independent girls to go in for commitment in relationships? MODERNISM AND EMANCIPATION OF WOMEN ARE DEBATABLE ISSUES.

Sugarry Thoughts:

True,it is no longer necessary to be Miss.Goody Goody Two shoes .Agreed ,a woman has an equal right to enjoy life ,like a man but what about Moderation Rule of Life?

1.Smoking and drinking as an addiction ,are harmful to health, be it man or woman .

2.Casual sex is the most important cause for the spread of sexually transmitted diseases.

3.C for commitment is not such a scary word ,having that special someone in life to love ,care and share is bliss.(weigh your pros and cons at the right time in life ,before it is too late.)

4.Motherhood though not a part-time assignment does add to a woman’s persona and does make a woman complete,take it or leave it.Take the plunge when you are ready.

True Emancipation is not all about bra-burning and bullshitting Indian social values,it comes from questioning value systems,experimenting with life moderately and finally shedding pretences and artificiality to find one’s own core values .Education and modern liberated upbringing should guide a young woman of today to draw her own “Laxmanrekha’That is real liberation ,because ………………………………………………

WOMAN IS A SUPREME GODDESS.SHE IS A CREATOR OF LIFE .SHE IS LIFE ITSELF.

**********************************

Post script added on 25/09/08- After reading the comments ,observed that women loved the closing lines while men found it egoistic.Just to clarify my point of view,women are creators of life meant that they carry life within them physically for nine months (with all due respect to the contribution of the sperm by the men) ,women need to be healthy for this . In the Indian context ,women are pillars of support for their family ,when a woman strays the whole family structure collapses or gets affected.Indian women have the responsibility of preserving our culture and values and passing them on to the Gen Next.It would be a pity to have the whole wide world appreciating our culture and aping it ,if we ourselves as a nation are losing it…….simply my personal views about that minor percentage of moneyed intellectual female population which is aping the west .NOTHING JUDGEMENTAL ABOUT IT,TO EACH HIS/HER OWN.PEACE BE UPON THEM.

Making Love Over A Modem……………Caught you!

September 9th, 2008

‘Making love ‘ is an act of perfect communication between two human beings……..

When two people meet on the internet ,unknown and unseen ,there is a unique bond that binds one with another……a bond of words….

Since mind is the most powerful aphrodisiac ,can words make love ?? Do we make love using blurbs and comments ?? hehehe…….caught you there!!!

Advancement in communication technology has changed the world and how!!People meet on the internet these days ,courtesy the various social networking sites like ibibo,orkut,Hi5,Facebook,Bigadda etc and use different tools like blurbs,scraps, scribbles ,comments ,chats and Ims to communicate.” It’s only words and words are all I have to take your heart away….”???Due to long work hours on the computer it is easier and convenient to “connect on the net.”Real life relationships are more demanding and tough,as well as the fact now accepted and common knowledge that human beings have a spectrum of personalities hidden within,a MULTIPLE PERSONALITY DISORDER of sorts.Different moods,different phases ,which can now be shared with different people on the same wavelength on the internet…….EK SE MERA KYA HOGA??? polygamy!!hehehe…..

They say ,successful women prefer the company of-

Their female friends
Their families
Their colleagues
Their vibrators
Their OBS/GYN

To prove this wrong,in Africa ,I was actively involved with the Indian Association and Maharashtrian Mandal . We celebrated all the festivals ,had monthly satsangs ,arranged for picnics at the various beaches and resorts and met at the India club where I used to go for a swim or play badminton on weekends. Evenings were spent barbecuing ‘chichinga ‘ african chicken tikka or paneer tikka. We were a group of fifty - sixty people of all ages ,who used to hang out together always.Never had the time to check out any social networking sites then,did not even know of their existence!!

It was only after moving to Dubai that I had time to surf the net and login to ibibo.I was soon flooded with chat requests ,people asking me for pics and loooking forward to me meeting them. In the newness of the whole thing ,I went to meet someone over coffee ,someone who was writing to me regularly and was quite a respectable man .He turned out to be a tiger waiting to pounce in the car itself ,hardly friendship material at all and I returned home shocked and disgusted .Later on he hounded me with smses and phonecalls ……… changed my sim …..so much for internet friendship!!! I did meet two other ‘web’ people at the mall later who were fabulous writers but wanted a female companion ….for what ? really pathetic!!! After three attempts at converting a virtual friendship to a real friendship I reached a conclusion that it was not safe at all to share any information details ,especially being a woman in a foreign country ,that too a Sin city like Dubai.IT IS BETTER TO BE SAFE THAN SORRY!! THAT ENDED MY FASCINATION FOR MEETING PEOPLE FROM THE WEBWORLD!!

There was however a learning of different sorts for me……the various signs (EMOTICONS) and short forms (ACRONYMS)used for communication on the net.Yes ,I had been a nerd till then….. A FEW INTERESTING ONES-

:-)smile
big grin
:-O surprised
:-S confused
tongue out after a joke
crying
:-* kiss
%-) I am brain dead now
(-)> wanna hve a coffee?
:{} I have great lips and I wanna kiss you.
>;-> I am winking devilishly cos I just made a suggestive remark!
BRB - Be Right Back
OMG -Oh My God
LOL -Laughing Out Loudly
ROFL -Rolled On Floor Laughing
ROFLMAO - Rolled On Floor Laughing My Ass Off
TTYL -Talk TO You Later

For me personally ,being on ibibo means ………….TOUCHING A SOUL……which can never happen in Real Time (RT) for me.I am one of those who take time to open up in real and prefer to maintain a certain distance in relationships,not out of arrogance but just a long cultivated protective instinct ,difficult rather impossible to change.I am not into chatting at all , hate the fast pace and the intimacy ….in love with the emoticons though(especially on ibibo chat )hehehe… dumb me ,prefers good old blurbs and mails ! !! That makes me wonder…………….

What is your take on virtual relationships??

Internet identity is created by cycling many personalities within oneself.True or False?

IS A CROSSOVER FROM THE VIRTUAL WORLD TO THE REAL WORLD A THIN LINE WHICH CAN BE CROSSED EASILY ? IS THERE A BIG DISAPPOINTMENT IN STORE?

A few sawaal there to wrack your brains,time to ponder……….

Meanwhile you can enjoy the funny video ,a song by Tom Milson on Internet Love ,which has amazing lyrics like “ BRB,OMG,LOL,ROFLMAO ” enjoy………

With lotsa love ,hugs and kisses (making love over the modem !!!) ,

from a LOL- Lover Of Life ,

My Partner In Life’s Journey

September 4th, 2008

“Vakratunda Mahakaya Suryakoti Samaprabha,

Nirvignam Kurume Deva Sarva Karyeshu Sarvadah.”

“OM GANGANAPATAYE NAMAH….”!

Dear ibibo friends,

ON THE OCCASION OF GANPATI FESTIVAL,

A SMALL WISH……….

MAY ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE!

This is the original aarti of Ganpati ,’Sukhakarta Dukhaharta’ in Marathi sung by Lata Mangeshkar,followed by Karpurarti ‘Ghalin Lotangan ‘and Mantra Pushpanjali…a traditional Marathi Puja performed in every home.

The pic is of the famous Dagduseth Ganpati of Pune.Listening to this arti gives me strength and purpose to carry on in life and peace of mind.

Play this aarti and feel HIS PRESENCE .

I especially like the lines,

Twamev Mata ,Pita Twamev,

Twamev Bandhu,Sakha Twamev,

Twamev Vidya,Dravinam Twamev,

Twamev Sarvam,Mama Deva Deva…..

Which can be translated from sanskrit to mean that God you are my mother,father,brother,companion,name,fame,

EVERYTHING!!

He is truely a partner in my journey of life……….a rollercoaster ride.

Unfailingly by my side always…..

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.

Deedar de,Deedar le,Galese Lagale…

August 31st, 2008

Deedar

“Ego is not I -ness….. It is the unnecessary fight to remove it.”

Missed you….Missed you…..Missed you all…!!! so glad to be back in touch with all of you .Did you have a “dekho” at this sweet cutie?hmmm…

Whoever started that grapevine among bloggers here about me had? having?in the process of creating?? a baby,this one is for you!I do keep “kidding” on blogs but this is official,straight from the horse’s mouth…..

NO HONEY….NO MOON…..NO BABY ! ONLY CHEENI- MAN at work here!!NOT THIS CHEENI!!hehehe.

As for my gain in pounds (weight not money),noticed by (EXTRA)visionaries visiting my ibibo pics,I can blame it all conveniently on my diet (during India visit ) of Pune’s famous Kayani Bakery’s shrewsbury cookies and cheese cake and Bhelpuri at different hangouts .Thud! life is back to yuckie wheatflakes, nuts and raisins with milk and veg .sandwiches with juices!!

SO GUYS ,I AM BACK ON THE RADAR (IN DUBAI NOW)…. checked and replied all my mails,have been going around visiting blogs and catching up on all the HOT action.

Switched on the television after a long time and found something watchable too.An absolute blast on a dance show on Star One , Zara Nachke Dikha.A performance worth mentioning was by Mouli Roy,who displayed SUPER GIRL POWER and set the stage ablaze with her moves , from rising from the bath- tub like a diva to titillation behind the shower curtain ,from chair dancing ,pole dancing to dancing on the boys tabletop ,to a mini strip tease, Madam Mouli did it all ,LIVE … what a number ….SIMPLY SINFULLY CHEENILICIOUS !!ROCK ON GURLS…

Speaking of television shows,why is the whole music fraternity in India after Pakistani singer Aatif Aslam?From the news and whatever I caught on Youtube,singers Abhijeet,Asha Bhonsale as well as music director Aadesh,have gone on air insulting Aatif and called him a ‘besura’.No creative person can remain free from criticism but this time it is different.Has this got anything to do with a false sense of patriotism?Prejudice against Pakistani artistes?Or is it simply insecurity speaking ? After all the music industry is very competitive.Since time immemorial ,artistes have crossed all borders of hate , all over the world.Indo -Pak border too has been crossed by singers like Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan,Nazia Hassan,bands like Strings ,Junoon and now by Raahat Fateh Ali Khan and Aatif .Music lovers have welcomed Aatif’s unique voice and style of singing,what has his nationality got to do with it?What has made the matter worse is the paki response to this insult-a band like Junoon (paki band)coming up with a song and video on this issue,a takeoff on the popular song ‘Pappu can’t dance’ and also Nadia Khan ,a Paki talk show hostess on Geo TV,condemning the entire episode.A small issue of lack of sensitivity and intolerance blown to gigantic proportions,hatred spreading like wild fire all over……for a huge fan of Paki music like me ,very sad indeed.

Out here in the Gulf nations,the whole of Arabia is gearing up for the holy month of Ramadan,starting from tomorrow.Time to learn new things,play games and give away for charity….with reduced work hours officially by the government here.There are Arabic cultural awareness and sensitivity workshops for expats ,cricket and golf tournaments and Ramadaniat- an activity filled event with lectures by scholars ,entertainment for families and Islamic era recreation.Evenings will be abuzz with Iftaar parties everywhere.

So,

RAMADAN KAREEM from the SANDS OF ARABIA,

and

HAPPY GANESHOTSAV from ME MARATHI to you all.

Ganpati bappa moraya,Mangal murti moraya….

Love and Peace,

sugarr

As Kashmir burns with hatred , I take your leave with a beautiful love song from the movie Yahaan - the video is equally watchable,catch it,if you can.A message of hope ,love and peace for the valley.

Naam Ada Likhana

pooche jo koi meri nishaani,rang heena likhna,

gore badanpe unglise mera naam ada likhna,

kabhikabhi aas paas chaand rehta hai,

kabhikabhi aaspaas shaam rehti hai.

aaun toh subah , jaaun toh mera naam sabah likhna ,

barf pade toh barfpe mera naam tu ada likhana,

zara zara aagwaag paas rehti hai,

zara zara kaangdi ki aanch rehti hai.

shamein bujhane aati hai raatein,

ratein bujhane tum aa gaye ho,

kabhikabhi aaspass dhup rahegi,

kabhikabhi aaspaas rang rahenge.

aaona aaona,jhelum mein behlenge………

waadike mausam toh ek din toh badlenge……..

Sugar’s Love Bytes From Pune

July 9th, 2008

Sugar's

CHATRAPATI SHIVAJI-

The Dreamer of Hindavi Swaraj.

“ You can take an Indian out of India,but can never take India out of an Indian”.

Sounds very cliche’d and pro-swadeshe doesn’t it?The absolute truth from me …..

VANDE MATARAM!

An Indian Airlines flight delayed by almost two hours got this ANIWASI BHARATIYA NAARI(ABN) from Dubai to Pune.Pune has gone International with weekly flights to Frankfurt and Dubai,the small but neat and clean Pune Airport with its friendly and professional staff is a welcome change from the chaotic scene of Mumbai Airport.Yearly holidays to India have always been special for the past few years for me.A month long India ka Tadka is a must to spice up my life!!!

Maharashtra State Electricity Board(MSEB) created the perfect candlelight setting by cutting off power in my abode ,though I had prepaid for power for the entire year.A starry night with the pitter patter of raindrops and the naughty wind whistling among the guava trees behind my house,in a completely dust covered ,locked up and “powerfooled” house with my “Queen” bed welcoming me to crashland………!!!(’Mistress ‘bed has an odd connotation to it and why should one call it a ‘Master’ bed when there is no ‘Master’ around???)HeHeHe…….just wonderingggg……

A JUST TOO PERFECT HOMECOMING!!!CHEERS!!!

SUGARRY TITBITS-

1)I had bought this place when I returned from Africa with the intention of investing and also having a personal space to chill, without any diktats from anybodyelse.Back then this place was full of green pastures with fruit orchards everywhere,now sadly most of the farmers have sold off their lands to land developers ,though the guava orchard behind my house which is so dear to me has been spared .The entire area has gone residential with the influx of IT crowd ,with their offices nearby at Hinjewadi Infotech Park.Spencers,More,Shubhiksha have sprung up around and the scene to watch is…..”Main tera IT Hubby ,tu meri IT Honey,Jo main kahoon tu karegi,right?phir aa zara supermarket trolleys load kare,weekend shopping ke saaath romance kare…” LOL!!

Jokes apart ,the IT Revolution has hit the small ,sleepy and peaceful city of Pune and has changed the entire socio cultural scene .In the times of inflation ,more and more people are enjoying a better quality of life and affording great lifestyles thanks to IT.The older working class generation seems to have been benefitted as well from their IT kids ,enjoy frequent trips abroad and the world has opened up like an oyster for them ,a very gladdening sight indeed.

2)Dreams of pursuing higher studies abroad at foreign universities or even in India are so much more realistic and achievable today.I was completely shaken and stirred when I met a local farmer’s son,an engineer now, at a cybercafe .A marathi medium small school boy that he is ,intends to to make it to the IIMs and is training for CAT…….!!India is so full of dreams!!

3)Pune ,once a two wheeler city has as many small cars today and yes ,the luxury cars too have hit the roads here.

4)Entertainment options are plenty with cafe’s ,shisha parlours and restobars dotting the landscape.

5)The once upon a time,’ orthodox puneri’ crowd has bid adieu to sarees ,bindis and even salwar kurtas too!non -marathi daughters -in- law in smart tees and capris are welcomed with open arms…..!

6)An entirely mobile city equipped with the latest gadgets ,even the labour houses with corrugated roofs have DishTVs,and the evergrowing cult of fast foodies with MacD ,PizzaHut and KFC thriving ,are we still cribbing about inflation??

7)With Kareena’s open secret of Alu Paranthas as the new diet food ,zeroing on the zero figure seems to be the national obsession among the Venusians.Next Destination ,Eva Longoria’s Size 00???Decimal figures are in,what say? though I personally swear by a UK survey which states that men like UK Size 12 women!!an ego healing balm for me.

Amidst all the changes what pinches one the most is the lack of infrastructure.In the middle of rains ,most of the roads are dug up and in a shoddy state .When do we wake up to this need?

Seemingly oblivious ,the Android Generation (as I call the Current Generation),is busy marching ,climbing ladders ,achieving their dreams ,with no time to spare to communicate their feelings ,simply because thats not in their Priority List!!

Pure and hardcore materialism is here to stay!!” less on emotions and more on practicality” approach to living life is in and yes,LOVE ,CARE AND MORAL VALUES ARE SLOWLY BECOMING AN ENDANGERED SPECIES AND ON THE VERGE OF EXTINCTION.

Thats all folks for the moment!!!I sincerely miss my visits to your blogs ,all the gupshup ,flirting and legpulling!My short cafe visits are not the same as being online 24/7 on blogs ,like I used to be in Dubai.So until I blog again,Be good and Stay Naughty,as always!!!

Amidst all the frenzy for Admissions ,heres a song by Pink Floyd dedicated to all the education burdened kids of today….

ANOTHER BRICK IN THE WALL

We dont need no education.
We dont need no thought control.
No dark sarcasm in the classroom.
Teacher, leave those kids alone.
Hey, teacher, leave those kids alone!
All in all its just another brick in the wall.
All in all youre just another brick in the wall.

Love,

The Crazyy Kiss Konnection….. naughtier,sexier ?

June 12th, 2008

The

” The kiss is where everything begins ….or …..ends.”

My research lab ,my music and my bugs (bacteria)encompass my entire world.I am heading the Beauty Biotechnology Division and I work in the field of mutating bacteria genetically to develop new bacterial strains which are useful to mankind and women in particular.We are proud to be associated with the National Biotechnology Laboratory ,USA.

WELCOME TO BUGS WORLD……..my paradise.

Let me formally unveil a new strain of bacteria ,which is an invention of mine,Microbacterium Kissme.

MORPHOLOGY- The bacterium is heart shaped, wine red in colour with a unique sweet taste which is my special contribution ,after all,sugar’s invention.!!It grows in a wax medium and the culture looks like a red lipstick,it can be easily applied on the lips without any side-effects.

USE AND CAUTION- Microbacterium Kissme is an extremely potent LOVE AID,its unique composition acts on the male hormone Testosterone and when it enters the male body through its portal of entry i.e. lips ,the effect on the selected male is instantaneous.HE WIPES OFF THE MEMORY OF ALL THE OTHER FEMALES IN HIS DATABASE AND BECOMES A LOVE SLAVE OF THE USER FEMALE FOREVER.

TRIALS ARE OPEN NOW ONLY FOR HETEROSEXUALS ,HOMOSEXUALS PLEASE EXCUSE.

SPECIMEN SELECTION FOR TEST TRIAL- I selected a man who was the exact SUGAR SUTRA MAN….. Dr.Karan Chopra,head of the Marine Biotechnology Division.(Since the test was to be conducted by me,for security reasons .)We were in a NO -PROGRESS RELATIONSHIP ,courtesy our hectic lifestyles ,though whenever I look at him,my heart always starts humming……..Tujhe dekha toh yeh jaana sanam,pyar hota hai deewana sanam….

THE TEST TRIAL-I walked into his cabin with my newly invented confidence on my lips,my Microbacterium Kissme.I could sense nothing else but this amazingly strong attraction between us in the room,with noone else around.Almost taking my mental cue by E.S.P (EXTRA SENSORY PERCEPTION),Karan came close to me,drew me in his arms and …………….kissed .The most SINFULLY DELICIOUSLY CHEENILICIOUS KISS .My whole world was spinning,pulses racing ,as I drew back breathless and opened my eyes with a naughty smile on my lips ….Karan,I got you!!…………..but where was Karan?what or who stood before me was the most sexy frog ,I have seen in my entire life!!Had heard of the fairy tale of FROG PRINCE ,WHERE THE PRINCESS KISSES A FROG WHO TURNS INTO A PRINCE ,BUT A PRINCE TURNING INTO A FROG……….?????

CONCLUSION-The TEST TRIAL CAN BE CONSIDERED SUCCESSFUL.FINALLY AS LONG AS THE PRINCE IS 100% MINE,LOVES ME LIKE HELL,HAS NO OTHER FEMALES IN HIS DATABASE, WHETHER HE IS A MAN OR A FROG ,DOES IT MATTER??( No offence here men,but I simply cannot ditch my love,even if it means living with a frog for the rest of my life…….TILL DEATH DO US APART. THANK YOU Microbacterium Kissme FOR giving me an ETERNAL LOVER!

ANY TAKERS FOR THIS CRAZY INVENTION -Microbacterium Kissme????

I am happy with my prince………

dheere dheere iqraar mein,

kabhi kabhi intezaar mein.

uske hi pyar mein,

jhoome jiya re……………….

CRAZY KIYA RE……O Baby………

CRAZY KIYA RE………..!!
