English at Big Boss House

It is so surprising to see that in the reality show Big Boss there is a rule which says that all the participants must communicate in Hindi. But it is so surprising that though all the participants excluding Goodey ( who has already left the show)are Indians ,but they are still not comfortable with their mother tongue,Hindi. Some of them like Rakhi Tondon take so much time to utter words in Hindi as if they don't know or yet to learn.It is demeaning for the country as the people on the show are watched by millions and the message given by them is that they know to bitch,know to behave like politicians but don't know Hindi. What a shame!

Tata Indica Vista

A new car launch !!!
Hmmm.... I am talking about Tata Indica Vista.Though i have just seen in pictures and read about it in the papers , i feel that this new car is again suited for Indian customer as the prices are economical Yet another family car Vista is a competitor for Maruti Swift,Alto and Hyundai i 10.The features seem to be OK along with the size which is more than the basic Indica model,the vehicle offers driver seat adjustment,two ton interiors and spaciousness.However, it does not have the air bag,which is much needed for Indian drive.

The Reliance connection

Due to long distances,shortage of time and air fare hikes, i was missing my home since few months.I am presently in Bangalore and my family is in Lucknow..
The only option I had was to be connected through mobile.I had a nokia handset with vodafone connection till few days back.Since all the calls made were STD the bills also seemed to be unaffordable.So what do I do now?
While talking to someone I came to know of reliance free STD calls.The information brought a smile on my face and very next day I was at Reliance mobile shop in CMH road.
The sales girl provided with a good piece of information and showed us a handset which was on a scheme.The scheme being that if we buy the LG RD 3500 handset,for just Rs. 1300 ,we get a number as well as activation done in that money. Along with this deal I also bought the tarrif card of Rs.496 which enabled me to make calls to all Reliance STD numbers and that too free.
Its been 15 days and i have not faced any problem yet.The network is really amazing,and i can stay connected for hours without thinking of my mobile bills.
Thank you Reliance

Nose piercing.....

A few days back ,me and my sister thought of having nose piercing. When told this to mom, she did not appreciate the idea much as she felt that the baby skin is easy to pierce but now as we have grown the skin is not that soft that it can be easily pierced,we might land up in some problems.We convinced her somehow and got it done from a local jeweller .He adviced to apply some antiseptic regularly and did it directly with a nose pin of gold.For a week ,things were fine.It suited both of us and we enjoyed the compliments as well.

After few days i moved to Bangalore and within few days it started hurting and there was redness and a bump too.I ignored it for some days but later it gave me pain and a bump was even inside my nose..

I started with some home treaetment of applying hot mustard oil and turmeric powder,but all in vain.The condition worsened further and i regretted my decision of piercing.

You may think what about my sister?Oh her piercing did not give her any problem and she now sports a diamond stud...

I went to see a doctor then who adviced me to have a minor surgery to get away with the bump.I was scared of that too.So finally after talking to many people i heard of Tea Tree oil .I bought a bottle(Though i faced problems in finding the right one)and applied it for two days,twice and the miracle happened on the third day when i found that their was no bump and the nose was alrite.

Here are some tips for you to get the nose piercing

  • Go to a professional piercer only.
  • Do not get it done with a pin,rather with a thread or a ring.
  • Do not touch your nose much or blow it for few days.
  • Take good care of hygiene.
  • If you see any redness immediately go to the piercer as he can guide you in proper way.
  • Last not the least,if you want piercing done,go have it today as my mom was right to say that as we grow the skin gets hard and then it creates problem.
