If you N’jOy Shopping, you will N’jOy Bangalore. From the Air-Conditioned Ambience of super stores like Shopper's Stop and Kemp Fort to the bustling by-lanes of Chickpet, Bangalore has something to offer every kind of shopper. You could find yourself shopping for the some of the biggest brands in the world while strolling down Brigade Road, or you could be engaged in friendly haggling with a shopkeeper for an Exquisite silk sari somewhere in the City Market.

Whether you are looking for Kancheepuram silk or Swarovski crystal or Christian Dior Perfumes or a Raymonds Complete Man Suiting, chances are you will find it in Bangalore.

Given below are a few of My Shopping Areas where I Shop regularly:

Commercial Street, Mahatma Gandhi Road, Brigade Road, Forum Mall, Central Mall, Shoppers Stop, Life Style, West side, Globus, Family Mart, Jayanagar Fourth Block, Shopping Complex, Chickpet, Safina Plaza, Show Off in Brigades, Kemp Fort, Majestic National Market(other Stuffs),Koramangla Factory Outlets, etc..

N’jOy Shopping in Bangalore :-)

Don’t B in da Dark...

One of the Biggest Problems Men and Women with Dark Skin is extra sensitivity and Discoloration. The Reason for this is the Cellular Composition – specially, melanocytes, the cells that contain melanin, skins pigment. In people with Dark Complexions, melanocytes are particularly active; whenever skin is even slightly irritated, these cells create more melanin, resulting in a dark area that is hard to remove. To help keep skin clear, remember these three things:

Don’t pick at Pimples

Although everyone should resist the urge, dark skin individuals in particular have a greater risk of leaving behind the marks or scars.

Be wary of Chemical Peels

Dark skin can reap the smooth, glowing results of these treatments, but chemical peels (as well as the laser therapy that often complements them) should be done by dermatologists experienced in treating such skin.

Don’t skip the SPF

A darker complexion will provide more sun protection than pale skin, but it wont prevent aging, dark spots or moles.

First KaRtInG..

Finally all the Apprehensions and Nervous Anticipation gave way to some action !

One Sunny Day, I went to a place called speed zone where there's Go-Karting for people who love Adventure Sports in Bangalore. Even though this day had only a few of My Friends who had no interest to kart. I forced them and pulled them to the Karting Grounds.

Most of the day was spent watching all the Karters driving in the Action Field.
I wasn't so Confident that I will take over the driving as the other Karters did.

Finally, I forced my self to Go Karting atleast Once and Try.
I put the helmet, the jacket and got ready to Kart; formal briefing by the technicians there on the route followed. They guided me very well.

I was abt to start off..! I shut my eyes for a minute and gained confidence to kart, I found that I was mentally and physically prepared to Kart.
I put my foot on the escalator and started raising the kart..It wazz soo adventurous..

I drove the kart so well that my friends on the field started giving out shouts of Praise...Amazingly at the end of the Lap, My Friends and the People around told me that I was a great Karter..Which made me to Go-Karting regularly....Now Go-Karting is one of my favourite Sport..

So people out there...walk in to ur nearest karting grounds now..nd N'joy Karting...!

LoVe BeInG...

When you love someone so deep inside,
It seems like it's so easy to hide.
You've loved him for so very long,
You would think he could do no wrong.

Every day you would hope and pray,
That he would always stay this way.
He treated you like you should be treated,
You thought your life was finally completed.

You thought your love was growing true,
And then one day it was all so blue.
He started putting you down and it hurt,
You thought all you were to him was dirt.

He started ignoring you and you wondered why,
All you wanted to do was curl up and die.
You thought your relationship would never end,
But that was all so fake and pretend.

One night he was so sweet to you,
You thought all those things were maybe untrue,
Two days later he was back the same,
You thought you were the one to blame.

He thought the relationship was getting too serious
And that you had become a little too curious.
By this time you knew it wouldn't last,
All the nice things he said were in the past.

You thought that you would marry him some day,
But this time God wanted to get his way.
You wanted things back how they were before,
But you knew this couldn't happen anymore.

It was a Sunday night about ten o'clock,
You heard the news and it wasn't a shock.
You knew this was going to happen soon,
As you laid there and cried in the pale lit moon.

2005 Republic Day Out….

The clock struck 9.00 in the morning and it was a lazy morning. I woke up and I had no work to do. I sat and started browsing the different Television Channels which was even more boring with no good programs. I sat on my comp and started surfing the net. I felt very bored and irritated. So I called my friends and all of us decided to go the flower show in Lalbagh Botanical Gardens.

(Lalbagh in Bangalore is a favorite venue for the famous annual flower show. Lalbagh stretches over 240 acres and houses a wide variety of tropical and sub-tropical plants.)

We finally landed up in lalbagh gardens at about quarter to 12. The garden had lush green leaves, blooming flowers and a scorching sun.

The show flooded with people from all parts of Bangalore and other places. We saw varieties of trees, bushes, shrubs, hedges, perennials, fruit trees, spring bulbs, Rose bushes, ground covers, vines, ferns, flower seeds, herb seeds, organic seeds, vegetable seeds, pink cassias, golden acacias, purple jacarandas, flame-orange gulmohars.
.
The flowers and trees were very beautiful so we wanted to click some pics, but dint have a cam. Fortunately, we saw a photographer near by and we asked him to click our snaps in the glass house for a ransom pay. We enjoyed the show and returned home for lunch at around 1.30. We came home we had a good chat and by that time we started feeling hungry coz we were ri8 under the scorching sun in the Lalbagh gardens for a couple of hours. So we decided to go out for lunch by around 2.00. We went to a good restaurant to have lunch as well as fun. My friends were reactivated after having a Good Meal; we planned to go out for shopping. We had a good stroll near the restaurant; we shopped for some accessories and some good cutleries in a cutlery shop. We were finally tired of shopping so we returned home with good memories of the day. This is how I spent My Republic Day 2005.

Hope u enjoyed reading my Republic Day Out.

Get Set Sleep

Ways to Work in some Sleep

Regularise the habit of taking a short nap in the after noon-even if its just a matter of putting your head down on your desk at lunchtime.

Ensure that you make time for yourself. No one else can or will.

Resort, if need be, to the desperate recourse of catching a quick snooze in the car- in the car park and stationary, of course..

Dont be apologetic about napping

Heed your body signals. Drop all work to relax unless you want the doctor to call upon you.

Travel Wise

Travel Light and Wise

Try as much as possible to have garments that complement each other so that they can all be worn in different combinations. You can carry a pair of jeans with two or three shirts or t-shirts that go with them- its good as carrying three sets of clothes; or pants could be those with zips at the knee that can be converted into shorts. If your packing indian clothes, carry two or three light weighted 'kurtas' with a set of white 'salwar' or 'duppatta' (for girls) or anything that you can mix and match with them.

Carry clothes that are light weighted, washable and wrinklefree.

Dark colored clothes are better during journeys as the dirt doesn't get too prominent.

Make sure that the outfits you choose breathe comfort.

Carry comfortable shoes. If you're travelling for a special occasion, carry your party shoes,else, a pair of walking shoes will do

To combat the cold, dont forget your pullover or a shawl- its good if the color matches with most of the clothes that you will be carrying, though !

Cosmetics and Toiletries should be neatly packed away in a seperate pouch, just to avoid soiling of your clothes, in case of spillage.

Keep accessories and valuables to the minimum.

Perfect Men.....

The Secret of Your Face
Your face is your centerpiece of style. Job one is to draw attention to it.
A man's primary color signposts are his complexion and his hair color.
So the colors of an ensemble should have the same level of contrast as the contrast between his skin tone and his hair color.
For example, if you're light-skinned and dark-haired, you should favor the same high contrast between the color of your tie and the color of your shirt or whatever garments you're wearing right below your face.
If, conversely, you're a low-contrast guy--say, blond hair and pale skin or dark hair and dark skin--you want low contrast in the shirt-jacket-tie triangle.

The Eyes Have It
Why? Because a high-contrast face surrounded by low-contrast clothes is like a framed painting without the bottom edge of the frame. It encourages a girl’s eye to drift southward, away from the artwork that is your face. If you frame a low-contrast face with high-contrast clothes, her gaze will wander toward the dominant clothes and away from the raw sexual power in your eyes.
Color...
Hold clothes up near your face to see which colors flatter you. If you've got a pinkish complexion, a red/maroon tie or pocket square will sharpen focus on your face. If your hair is blond or your skin brown, favor warm gold, rusts, browns. Wear sunglasses, no matter what the season, and scarves, whenever you can get away with them. Anything around the neck or above will draw attention to your face.

How to wear a belt with shorts
The trick is to move away from heavy black or braided leather belts. With shorts, make the belt an extension of your casual look. Try a tan distressed-leather belt like Polo's O-ring or saddle belt. One of these will keep your pants on--as long as you want them to stay on. A belt that doesn't fit turns you into a human sausage.
If u had been wearing the same belt for 15 years, the one you bought when you were 15 pounds lighter? Make sure the old hole isn't stretched or misshapen. If your belt lacks luster or appears worn, toss it. Try a shiny, rich brown alligator-skin belt with a gold buckle. You can also wear silver buckle and black leather. The most versatile width is 1 3/16 inches. The best belts have five holes; if yours isn't buckled in the middle, it's too long or too short.

Dress Taller
Muted, dark-toned ensembles blur your silhouette, creating a long look. Make sure your suit jacket covers your butt without extending much farther down, a shorter jacket will emphasize the line of your legs, making you appear taller. Conversely, a jacket that's too long will shrink your legs.

Dress Trimmer
Okay, you've logged the gym time, and you want to show off what you've built. Just don't go too crazy flaunting your musculature. Fine-gauge fabrics such as linen knits, lightweight cashmere, and high-quality Egyptian or pima cotton will show off your upper torso; boot-cut jeans, which are slimmer through the seat and legs, are great for the lower body.

Dress Smaller
Imposing men can loom a bit less if they contrast colors on the top and bottom, visually splitting the body--the opposite of the single-color effect. So, unlike the man who's trying to appear taller, you can effectively wear a white or colorful shirt with darker pants. You can also create a wider frame with horizontal stripes or patterns, which add perpendicular lines to your verticals.

Dress Thinner
The strong contrast in a black-and-white outfit draws the eye to your face--and away from any out-of-control flesh that might be gathered around your middle. Wearing a single dark color on top and bottom shaves off a few pounds and lengthens you. If you have a full face, wear open-collared shirts or V-necks, which add an angular look. Crew collars and turtlenecks only add to the jack-o'-lantern effect.

Dress Bigger
Wear a T-shirt under an open-collared dress shirt and vest, and put a sport coat on top of that. A range of jackets, including natural-shouldered tweeds in earthy colors, is also a must-have for the man who wants to look beefier.

Style Basics

Recognise your assets and choose clothes which flatter this part of your body.
If you have love handles or a round tummy, wear textured fabrics and wrap-around tops.
If you have a short or wide neck, avoid tops that are open at the neck, rather than high or round ones to lengthen and slim your neck.
If your clothes are too tight, you'll look fatter not thinner; straining fabric is a style no-no.

How to Wear Colors

Only wear shiny fabrics and bright colours on areas that you are sure can stand up to being in the limelight.
If you have sallow skin, dark circles or bags, don't wear black near your face, it only draws attention to it.
Combining black with bright colours makes the black look boring and the colours look cheap.
If you're petite or of larger build, avoid a dramatic contrast between top and bottom as this will cut you in half. Avoid thin back straps unless you are totally fatless or you will end up with unsightly back bulges under your clothes.

Your Accessories

If you've got a large chest and you're embarrassed to show off too much flesh in a v-necked top, wear a large necklace to cover the area.
Never wear a scarf or necklace over the top of a roll-neck jumper.
If you have a double chin or your face is chubby, opt for longer earrings.
If you have a short neck, avoid large, choker-style necklaces.
Chunky costume jewellery is a stylish way to add colour and individuality to your outfit.

Right Pair of shoes

If you have thick ankles, don't wear delicate, strappy heels, ballerina-style shoes or ankle straps which cut across the ankle.
If you have skinny legs, avoid thin, teetering heels or they'll look like they're going to snap under the weight of your body.
If you are pear-shaped, avoid dainty kitten heels.
Trousers and jeans should fall to the bottom of the heel.
Black shoes look best with darker colours - don't wear black shoes with light-coloured clothing unless they are extremely dainty.
Don't wear black shoes with bright colours as they make your outfit look cheap.
