Urvi's Scribbling

The famous 1980s invention of the award winning game.... Rubik's cube kept me amazing for a long time. My husband got me this puzzle on my request. He was actually looted by the shop keeper. Its not like the original one that has specific colors on each side. It is bit hard to handle because its made up of cheap plastic. But I enjoyed the challenge. And Here is the picture of my first solved Rubik's cube. I followed some algorithm that I learnt from a youtube video. I am not a genius with numbers but I can surely solve this puzzle again in another 10 minutes. I read there is a record 67 sec solving of this cube. Also seen a video where a person can solve with eyes closed.

2years of blissful marriage and still counting. It was a lucky day for both of us and the climate was the proof. It was dawn and visiting the temple that in a way was the reason of our bonding was in our priority list. So we drove through an hour long drive on the highway and it was raining cats and dogs. Seemed like the clouds were emptying their stocks so that we have a dry pleasant day ahead. Thats what happened. We reached the temple and after we did our prayers no showers were seen. On the way to the resort we were marveled by the outstanding paintings of mother nature. How I wanted to behold each moment but every other scene seemed to be overwhelming. I was bitting and sharing chunk of flavored chocolate delicacies that my husband got me out of surprise. We reached the Silent Hill Resort at 9:30 and had our breakfast. The resort is a water-park cum amusement park. It has some 11-12 water rides that one can enjoy with loud music. A rain dance floor and a pool will water shower....

It was planned and much awaited. I had already googled about the sight seeings and shopping. End-time packing and a lot of haste was obvious for a forgetful person like me. I enjoyed everything though, as it was my first visit to a snowy region. We were a group of 10 people who wanted to experience the Rajdhani Express on the way. So we travelled by train till Delhi and later by air. Snacks served in Rajdhani Express. The dusky view from my window Eleven Idols of the Patriots at New Delhi Top view of Srinagar... amazing!

A Garden that was a dumping ground once is maintained more esthetically than any other! Not just because it lies hugging the seashore but also because its on the most elite part of the island city. A botanical garden so beautiful that it attracts most of the newbie photographers and it bets that any shot will earn you applause. Simply gaze by the path and be jolted by every other flora and fauna. Here are some pictures I took.

Its been a month now that I have been applying a home made dry orange peel mask to my facial skin and it glows like never before. At times I feel baby soft. Many times when I have to go out on a date or I have a party to attend all I do is apply this mask for 20-30 mins. Even If I remove it quickly after 10 mins, as it dries, it gives me a lustrous shine. It has reduced blemishes and acne which gives me a flawless look. Also I had patchy dry areas on my face that have been equalized. Here's my ingredients: 1 teaspoon of dry orange peel 4 drops of lemon juice 1 and a half teaspoon of yogurt/curd I prefer sour curd as it has more acidic property to remove dead layer of skin. I don't know if there are products in the market complimenting this but I like to use things I have in my kitchen. It is easy to make orange peel powder. All you have to do is have the sweet fruit and put the peel for drying. In a week you will see them rust pale and dry. Grind them finely in a mixtur...

Everyone here wants to be happy. If we think over carefully, what makes us happy or when were we happy the most, we will realize that most of the time we are happy spending time with someone close.  Loneliness is something like an addictive drug that is going to eat you till your death bed. Whereas, togetherness is something that will make each moment memorable and worth living. I happen to see an old couple daily… they are strange. Their clothes are little weary and they seem to be alone. They visit nearly all kind of shrines in the suburb. I judge this because they have that tilak on their forehead and I have seen them near temples in my locality. They carry fruits to offer at the temple. I was happy to see them having that thoughtfulness. So many rich people of my locality that i know visit the temple i go daily but they never seem to carry any offerings. And this old poor looking couple do that.  Once I overheard their conversation and its so much carin...

Blogging after a long time.. This time I want to share my thoughts on eating habits and its effects. I have been attending a session named "Perfecting Youth" given by a monk named "Udayvallabh Maharaj".  Lately he spoke on boycott of non-veg food. But to convince a young educated crowd like us... is bit difficult! Following are the points covered:
