https://youtu.be/e3YjKjQof-g?si=WHmxYxs4XIQ7z2XX

     Watch this 👆. Neeta Lulla is my favourite Bollywood designer. She has dressed Madhuri Dixit in Hum Aapke Hain Koun. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Jodha Akbar and so on. When I saw these costumes on these legendary beauties it looked stunning. Not only were the movies blockbusters but these iconic costumes took their career to another level. 

     I personally had tried to be a saree designer for six years. I've designed more than ten sarees. I loved all my creations. But didn't receive any upfront orders to take this profession full time. Let's discuss about my tastes in saree-fashion. 

Q1 Given a choice, what would you design for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan now ?

Ans. I would drape her in a light pink tissue saree drenched in medium sized white and semi-medium sized light pink pearls. There would be floral motifs with white pearl in middle surrounded by light pink pearls. There would also be semi big sized steel sequins in between the motifs arrangement. The saree won't have any borders. There would be same coloured bigger sized pearl flower shaped arrangement, along with same semi big sized steel sequins in between the motifs in the pallu. The blouse would have mega sleeves, and dori arranged in the top to bottom middle area of her back. Total four doris. It would have the same motif arrangement as the body of the saree. 

    The makeup should be subtle with the hair kept open and with curls in the end. The colour of the hair should be kept black. Event preferably can be a visit to some iconic temple. Jewellery should be white and light pink pearl bracelet on right hand. Silver watch on left hand with medium sized white pearl studs for the ears. 

Q2 Given a choice, what would you design for Madhuri Dixit Nene now ?

Ans. I would design Madhuri in a high quality parachute blue satin saree. The saree should have medium sized same colour pearls all over within close proximity of each other. No separate pallu design. The blouse would be short sleeves and made of the same material. There would not be pearls on its body. But there would be piping of the same coloured and same sized pearls all around the neck front and back. There would be similar piping on the edges of both the sleeves. The blouse would have deep back. 

     The make up should be subtle. Light pink gloss lipstick. Hair would be her iconic step-cut long open. Colour of her hair should be black. Event can be dance reality show judging. Simple same coloured studs and same coloured same sized pearl bracelet on the right hand and shimmering steel watch on the left hand.

Q3 Given a choice how would you design for Kajol now ?

Ans. I would dress her in chrome yellow bandhani chiffon saree. On chrome yellow background it would have white big square bandhni motifs all over the body. It would have three-fourth sleeved, deep back blouse with katori neck in the front. The blouse would have small sized white square bandhni print motifs on chrome yellow background all over, again the material made of chiffon. 

     She would wear white diamond studs and white diamond bracelet on right hand and steel watch on the left hand. The hair let loose and subtle makeup with pink gloss lipstick. Event would be ribbon-cutting of a plush showroom. 

Q4 How would you design for your mother ?

Ans. I would give her a lemon yellow Calcutta handloom saree. It would have traditional print in green, red and gold. The blouse should be simple with half sleeves, medium back and medium round front neck. It would have red, green and gold piping on the edges of the sleeves. 

     The hair would be buckle-clipped at the back. She would be wearing off-white pearl studs and medium lengthed three strings chain with rectangular same coloured pearl pendant. Two off-white coloured pearl bangles on the right wrist and gold watch on the left wrist. Event would be a temple visit.

Q5 How would you design for your daughter ?

Ans. Well, she's a thirteen year old. Offwhite full sleeved round necked T-shirt with the print in black 'I'm great'. With beige sweat pants.

     Hair in a middle back of the head pony tail. No make up. Steel watch on the left wrist. Off-white pearl studs. No bracelet. Event school teenage friend birthday party.

Q6 How would you design for yourself now ?

Ans. Dull dark green sweatpants. Dark green button down shirt. 

     Subtle makeup brown lipstick. Hair tied up with a claw clip black in colour. Dark green steel metal studs. Green and white danglers in a steel bracelet on the right wrist and steel stylish watch on the left wrist. 

     I'm happy with whatever I've written. I don't consider myself fashion-illiterate. But fashion is actually something which differs from person to person and should be more encouraged to be according to the place and occasion.

      You should wear what suits you. Child, teenage, youth, middle age and aged are different dressing up styles. Your skin colour and body shape and the current general dressing trend also should influence on how you dress. 

      I myself dress as per my comfort and mood on daily basis. Cotton or viscose pants with long T-shirts are my home wear staples.

     Hats off to the modern city woman ! You can dress the way you're comfortable in. So go ahead and care a damn about the world...

      Bye for now and will be back soon with some new topics to vie for. Chow guys.

Beware of scheming women, what if they laugh at you behind your back. 🤔🤔🤔

👆 Watch this episode of crime story. I was blown away. Such kind of stories do exist, where you get lured by cheap and scheming women. Young boys give it the name of 'love' but it is just a very big trap, a web of illegal activities. It's a must watch for boy parents. Don't teach your sons extreme chivalry or are woh aurat tujhe ishara de rahi hai tu samajh nahi raha hai. Teach your sons common sense and to be beware of cunning women. Build a close and bond of trust with them. Or else what if they get caught like Nakul here. Nakul and his mother are heroes here. Sometimes if you really get caught in something like this, there are more chances the goons may shoot you dead then and there. People like Nakul are called whistleblowers. He had great amount patience and presence of mind here. 

     Even if you have a son, on the contrary to what age-old traditions say, the parents have to be very aware and alert. Protect your sons as well, and teach them to to take on the world, to face the world.

Khoobsurat dikhna har aurat ka haq hota hai 

'Dreams n magic' theme park... read on

      This is something I have in my mind and after thinking for a while I'm posting this 👇

The aim 👉 the person who visits as customer in this theme park should get the same feeling and jitters after he/she exits, as the hero in the below song.

हीरे जैसे आँखों वाली कौन है वो
सोने जैसे बालों वाली कौन है वो
चांदी जैसे गलों वाली कौन है वो
धीमी धीमी चलों वाली कौन है वो
कौन है वो

लाखों हसीं देखे कोई ठेहेरा ना सामने
आते ही इसके देखो सबके चेहरे उतर गए
ये बला कौन है
इस का नाम है क्या
रेहेती है कहाँ
करती काम है क्या

लाल दुपट्टा ऊंचे सैंडल रेशमी कमीज
पेहेले ना देखी थी मैंने ऐसी कोई चीज़
इस जवान हूर से बात कर दूर से
हो जाये ना ये ख़फ़ा

हर धड़कन को मेरी तमन्ना लबों को मेरी प्यास
सब है मेरे इश्क में पागल सब को मेरी तलाश

मुझ में है शोखियाँ, मुझ में है मस्तियाँ
हर दिल पे मेरा नशा
लाखों हसीं होंगे कोई मुझसा यहाँ कहाँ
कितने जवान लड़के मेरी चाहत पे मर गए

ये उम्र ये नज़र हुस्न की ये अदा
जिसने देखा मुझे हो गया वो फ़िदा

Step 1👉 This theme park rests on thrill and excitement. There should be not more than 30 actors and actresses hired here. They should not be well known models, television stars, filmstars, sportstars or OTT stars. You can select them from amongst the vast struggling actors/actresses who flock to Mumbai in search of work every day. They are easier to cast, mould, and train. Ofcourse they'll be paid. The main bunch of actors/actresses here should be stunning. They'll be well groomed with proper gorgeous costumes, make up and hair. These will be handled by professionals. There will be a vast set created as per the theme chosen by the person booking the time-slot. The payment of the time-slot booked should be done one month in advance. The actors/actresses will be rigorously trained regarding what they have to talk and when, what should be their next step. The decency protocol should not be crossed by the customer. In this theme park there will be special effects handled by professionals. The background, the sound, the lighting, the movement of props will be done through automated instruments. The time slot will last for 1, 1:30 or 2 hours. 

Step 2👉 The themes to choose from over here:

1. Bollywood style romance

2. Exam stress buster

3. Break up/divorce/death of a dear one stress buster

4. Boredom buster

5. Adventure trip

6. Mythological trip

7. Dance of any form

8. Chat to relive stress

9. Fashion discussion 

10. Superhero/dinosaur/alien experience 

11. Ancient historical beauties meeting experience 

12. Meeting historical figures in their ages

13. Space trip experience 

14. Island visit experience

15. Lost hidden kingdom- underground, 

                                               dense forests, 

                                                treasure hunt

16. Pub/college 

     There will be well trained, highly imaginative and expert directors who will direct the whole events of the time-slot.

Step 3👉 There will be good amount of conversations of the actors and actresses duly selected, with the guest.

Step 4👉 A well written and well prepared script will be followed with minor changes done duly by the actors involved according to the situation.

Step 5👉 Food will also be served as planned earlier. It may be of any cuisine. But no alcohol.

Step 6👉 the actors involved will be well trained in poise, grace, elegance, how to carry themselves and the clothes they wear.

Step 7👉 Here the character will come and chat with you throughout as the background events go on. It'll be a long conversation.

      This theme park idea I'm sure will be a success because the audiences are bored of books, newspapers, endless net-surfings, reels online, movies, daily soaps, game shows, same repeated celebrity chats, OTTs, dance and singing shows on television which consists of 90% sob stories artificially created to generate viewers' sympathy, rigged film or entertainment field award shows with unwanted and too many categories, and reality television shows. An experience is what we need to bring us back from the bolt. And this theme park provides just that.

     The gist is that the real experience-drama staged here will be the one to make the experience with the theme park unforgettable, enchanting and spellbound. It's motive is to change the mood and enliven you.

     Well... there is no theme-park like this available currently, it is in my dreams. If ever I meet a big businessman anytime, I'll present him with this business idea, and if all goes well, the people craving for entertainment of a new kind all over the world will be in for a new journey.

     Thank you for your time, but think over it...

"Get married guys, you both look so happy together" 💞

         

Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad have celebrated five years of togetherness today. 

Heartiest congratulations to them both.

     Hrithik is a great boyfriend and except for his marriage which happened way back in the year 2000, he has played every part whether it is real or reel life with elan. Everybody commits mistakes. We all are humans. But trying to evolve and learning from past mistakes is what a man with grit does. And that's what he has done.

     In my opinion both of them shouldn't delay further. They should tie the knot. If not grand, a simple ceremony would do. Hrithik and Saba, are you listening, the fans want you to get hitched. 

     Well... I agree even celebs have their personal life and everything is not meant for the public. But the love in their eyes, and the love in their hearts, that they have towards each other, can be seen in the photos all over social media. I think if a couple who have been together for a decent period of time, five years here, and they have mutual trust and feel great amount of peace when they are with each other, they should take the plunge. Umm... let's not jump into things, but zyada kuch nahin, dil ki baat zubaan par aa gayi. 

     Meeting through Twitter, then five years of togetherness among these two top-rated celebs, shows us that finding a partner is comparatively easy today. The one who understands you, loves you, cares for you, and whom you can trust- you yourself need to dig out. The internet is a massive tool, who is the person who doesn't know how to operate it ? Folks, make use of it. Don't stay alone and keep brooding, just use your fingers and eyes and you never know... Facebook, Twitter, dating apps, matrimonial sites, friendship websites, you name it there are so many options available on your left, right and centre nowadays. You or your parents don't have to fall at the feet or coax the match-maker aunties or buas to find a groom or bride. All of these women in secret conduct divorces too. So it's obvious- technology is way way better. 

     Coming back to the couple of the day, watching sunsets together, attending functions and festivities together, eating together, going on holidays together, celebrating and wishing each other on special occasions... are oh so romantic ! So it's a wish from my side- let them hold each other's hands and grow old together. 

     In middle class India, sacrifice, suicide, prostitutes, hitting the bottle are considered the tasks to be followed when you fail in a relationship or marriage. I am against glorifying these horrible detrimental to health activities. When the kids are small, men have to be very very sure of the woman before they approach marriage again. But when the kids are grown up, already are capable and have University degrees to their name, the gamble of second marriage can be played. Today the legal system is so well-etched that there are trusts made by the parents where proper and adequate financial planning of the child's future is taken care of at the time of divorce. So if setbacks happen, there is still family standing strongly somewhere behind you. What happened initially was bad in Hrithik's personal life, but he and his ex-wife Sussanne had taken their time and took a detailed and well thought of decision of being with other people. I too am flowing with the time, and it would be great to see the Superstar and his ex-wife getting married to their respective current loves. Amen...

     So with the wish that eternal love should soon become forever love, it's me Priya signing off for today. It's late in the night and it's a big "Good Night" and "Sweet Dreams" from my side.

               

           

                              

Arjun Rampal and Gabriella Demetriades officially tied the knot 🍻

               

    The wedding was a registered marriage which took place in Goa in front of close family and friends on the 21st of August. The couple have not released the pictures of their big day yet, but it's really a celebration of true love and commitment.

       They were introduced by a mutual friend Rajat Patel at a private party, some time later they started dating. It took a good eight years and two kids for their love to blossom into marriage. Wow! The news made my day today. No questions about the bride being a virgin or not, premarital sex, their fifteen year age gap or women talking in hush-hush  tones... They cared about nothing and just believed in love. It's better to get hitched again, than keeping yourself depressed or hitting the bottle thus ruining your life. Gabriella is gorgeous. Live-in is catching up nowadays. When you find your perfect partner, there's God's speaking in your ears telling you "She's the right one. Don't let her go." And finally when you're marrying her it's you praying to God and whispering silently, "I followed you, fell in love, so by destination marriage to the same woman, I'm gonna honour you even more."

      The couple have two kids together, born before marriage. But it doesn't matter if the love and trust in each other is so genuine. Arjun gave love a second shot, and look how beautifully it has culminated. Belief in love and being God-fearing can lead you to something great. And look how she is, a lovely woman with loads of confidence and belief in herself.

     Western influence didn't deteriorate Indian culture but on the contrary it gave us a feeling- you never know, tomorrow you may meet a great person who's worthy of your love and feelings. That freedom is not anywhere less. Someone somewhere is made for you. "Bhagwan ne hum sabko jodiyon mein banaya hai. Bas unka milna hum pe chod diya hai. Woh ek ishara dega aur tumhara dil samajh jaayega" quote unquote Dil toh pagal hai. Dreams in her eyes for that someone, didn't allow Madhuri a. k. a. Pooja to sleep at night. But is it true like that ? Yes it is ! Here you can see.

     Gabriella and Arjun, thanks for inspiring the youth of today. You as a couple give us a lot of hope, positivity and a rightful vibe in the emotion called Ishq. It's really really wonderful, you and the celestial bliss you both exuberate.

      Wish you a very happy married life and may you hold each other's hands till eternity... Ariv, and Akir are so lucky to have you both as parents first, and now a married couple.

     So folks this is me signing off for today, will be back with much more content in the days to come. Bye for now. Chow.
