Thank you Blogadda, for picking this entry! I am thrilled....
I wrote this for a client...but it was not published...so I thought I'll put it up here...
What women hate!
A few ground rules:
1. All these habits apply to all men.
2. There are exceptions to this rule.
3. The views expressed here are purely my opinion. Any similarity to the Indian male species, dead or alive, is purely intentional.
Male Chauvinism
I know that ‘The right attitude is the secret to success’. But looks like you guys heard only the word ‘attitude’ coz that’s all you have! Your ‘selective hearing’ causes delusions of self and life in general, don’t you think? So maybe you should start listening and try to understand the meaning of ‘equality’?
Eye-to-Eye
When we converse with you, why is it that you can never meet the eye? Your roving eyes wander all over, undressing us in your mind. It makes me wonder, are we actually wearing any clothes? We would really appreciate simple eye contact, you know? Stick to the eyes!
Sexist Comments
Comments like “Women gossip so much” or “A woman’s job is to cook and clean” are not very becoming of you. You have the basic common sense to read and understand instruction manuals for electronic installations or at work; surely cooking should be a piece of cake! After all, a recipe is a set of instructions that can be followed pretty easily. It’s common sense, no? I am NOT cleaning up after you. PERIOD!
Split Personality
Normally you’re tired, and weekends are to laze around and relax. But if its cricket season, or there’s an F1 race, you set the alarm, wake up early, and the entire weekend is planned around the match/race timings. Suddenly, you are extremely energetic, punctual and charged up. How do you do that? Who is the ‘real’ you?
We always see a light at the end of the tunnel. Yeah, and we love you too…
P.S - This is written in jest...no hard feelings please!

Magnificent Milk Body Treatment with Milk Mellissa Maccalla
Milk was doing: a body good long before it appeared on the upper lip of any health-conscious celebrity. When applied topically, milk calms irritation (it’s a natural anti-inflammatory), gently exfoliates (thanks to lactic acid), and moisturized new skin (the fat content increases water retention). According to cosmetic dermatologist Francesca Fusco, all types of milk of cow, soy, and goat have similar benefits, but whole milk is preferable to skim for beauty treatments because it contains more hydrating fat protections. Here’s how to use it
For reducing irritation and redness. Fusco recommends filling a bowl with whole milk and ice, soaking a washcloth in the mixture, and then applying the cloth to the skin until the compress is no longer cold. Repeat three times and then allow skin to air dry.
For moisturizing dry or sum-damaged skin Cleo London director and lead esthetician at Metamorphosis Day Spa in New York City, Suggests Freezing buttermilk in ice cube trays and then rubbing the cubes in your face.
For Creating a Full-Body soak in the cheep Pick up a box of powdered whole milk, add enough to a bath to make the water a milky while, and soak you skin soft.

As I do yoga or Pilates I listen to this among many other powerful verses, it fills me with an energy or calms me when I am feeling low in a way words can't explain. You have to feel it. The entire home reverberates with a positive energy. I have embraced GOD through Music and it has brought a balance to my life and given me mental strength. I don't believe there is a specific way to reach GOD. If it works for you, its good enough. Noone needs to approve it. You know it and that's all matters.
On an aside, for a long time, I would pray to GOD in different languages thinking if I am in North India, for example or if I go to a Church, I would pray in Hindi or in English respectively :-). I know, silly me!
Banish bad hair Days By: Bachel Grumman How much you Know about the condition of your scalp and hair? You can find out more through a scalp analysis by a trained technician or trichologist, who will help you pinpoint the treatments and products that will yield healthier, problem-free lock.
First, a special magnifying camera reveals not only what genetics gave you dryness, oiliness, dandruff, psoriasis, thinning hair but also the effects of chemical processing and your daily hair care routine. Even something as simple as product buildup can be a big problem, according to Ronald Williams of Phyto Universe in Manhattan.
Then, armed with this detailed information, the technician can design a customized treatment such as applying essential oils to moisturize a parched scalp and to use at home. Valerie Marie Kemp, of J.F Lazartigue Hair Analysis Center in Manhattan, notes that it’s important to treat both your scalp and hair. “Of you have very fine hair and are using a volume shampoo all week, you are going to aggravate the oil glands in your scalp. “She Says. “You need to alternate with another shampoo to see better results”.
Hair and scalp analysts are usually free when getting a hair consultation or salon treatment; just ask your salon if it offers them.
