White weather | India





I don't like Manali at all.
It's just not my type of weather. I'm the sunny type of person, warm, cuddly and fuzzy.
Over here, everything is cold and... Cold. People keep to themselves. Arms crossed on the chest.
Everything's alien to me. Chinese-looking people speaking Hindi: Tibetans.
Reddened cheeks of the folks due to a lack of oxygen and hence high concentration of haemoglobin.

Cute wooden chalets with the walls made of clean dry grey rounded polished stones or galets.
Everything nestled amidst dark moist brown long pine trees with the green snow laden canopy shading the fuming chimneys.



Fumes from everywhere. The little cups of chai, the matkas filled with hot milk and the people engaging in the very restricted conversations.
I always thought that it was an exciting idea to talk and have vapour coming out of the buccal cavity. But it's not. It definitely is not when you feel your vocal chords paralysed with the murderous chillness. Moreover, in Manali, you don't breath out air but rather that same vapour, literally!

We decided to skip the snow biking experience. We've had enough of the other snow activities we performed in Shimla: Zip lines, valley bridge crossing, bungee jumping, skiing and tube sliding.



Yes, it was freaking cold. My brother got scared for a while thinking that his feet and hands had died for an eternity and that he would henceforth be deprived of any means of locomotion.



I'm being able to write right now because we are seated at an Italian hut devouring some pizza after a huge while for lunch.

I have an upset belly, I think i might go into the diarrhoeal phase. Hopefully, I won't have to reach there.

If a guy stares at you for a long time while smiling does he like you?

There's this guy at my work who I've been starting to get to know better, and I've noticed that every time he sees me he always gets this big smile on his face and he stares at me all the time. He has this look in his eyes that I can't really explain but it seems like he's fascinated or dreamy. Plus I'll be doing something and I'll look over at him and catch him looking right over at me, and he just smiles and I smile back. Today as he was leaving work I saw him from a distance but I didn't say anything because I wasn't going to shout across the parking lot, and he just developed this big smile while looking right at me, and I couldn't help but smile too. Then he came over and we talked a little before he left (he seemed nervous and he's kind of dorky, but I think it's cute) I don't know, I just feel like he stares at me just a little longer than any other person. I was wondering if this could mean he likes me? ...

Comparing the lifestyles of celebrities and ordinary people

Disney’s TV Show Hannah Montana depicts the female protagonist’s choice of leading an ordinary life despite being a celebrity. The show fluidly walks us through the distinct lifestyles of a celebrity and that of an ordinary person in terms of their set of values, ways of life, activities and attitudes. Whether celebrities and ordinary people are truly different would require a close diagnostic. The first thing that comes to mind when discussing celebrity and common man’s lifestyles is luxury . From the sports industry to the entertainment industry, from politicians to business tycoons, the mantra “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” seems to be painted all over the walls that frame celebrity life. Because of the power and extraordinary amount of wealth they have, celebrities live a life that the normal man can only dream of. For instance, with real-estate assets worth more than just a few million dollars across the world, celebrities have better vacation options than an ordi...

Because being honest and being frank are two poles apart!

   *I have been meaning to write this since 3 weeks now.* I wonder why people take it for granted that they can do anything to you and say anything to you! Honestly, how can people be that honest?! I don't get it! Now, just so that I get over this- we had rather just start! , I think that each one of us has been frank at least once in our life!  Frankness broadcasts itself as a means for people to soothe their inability to contain their comments.  Because want it or not- Frankness in comparison to honesty is a bad thing. Basically because being frank hurts the object and makes the subject feel good, whilst honesty-well honesty is good for both! Being frank is a stupendo fantabulously fantastic thing for many of us. It's been for me. Mainly because it allowed me to believe that I existed and it made me feel good- it made me feel good because I could put my opinions forward. But to be honest, I don't it's been the best thing to do!  Frankn...
