I steal the show

“Will you be going in business meeting with these grey strands on your head? My mother taunted me. She took a deep breath and said, “Top businessman from all over India will be present in the function and it is a life time opportunity for you to enhance your professional growth.”

“What should I do there is not much time left? I was busy from the past five days preparing power point presentation of our company’s products which are to be presented in the meeting.” I said.

“People will be more impressed if the presenter looks attractive. Nah!”

“I will be wearing a head gear to hide my grey hair.”

“Instead of hiding, show your beautiful long curly hair.”

“These white strands look so ugly. And I don’t want to use henna; the reddish brown colour multiplies my age many times.”

“You can try hair dye.”

“Oh no! They contain ammonia which is harmful for mucous and eyes.”

“Godrej Expert Rich Crème contains ZERO ammonia moreover it contains Aloe Vera and milk proteins. After colouring hair, Aloe Vera will provide soothing and healing effect to your sensitive scalp which is prone to irritation. It will solve your other problems by removing dead skin cells, by promoting hair growth and preventing hair fall.”

“The color of dye is so artificial that anybody can recognise from a distance that the hair is dyed.”

“Godrej products are available in seven beautiful shades. You can choose the colour according to your hair colour. You can even go for advance option for brilliant hair colours”

“I have no idea. How will I mix the colourant and developer in right proportion?

“Godrej crème comes in two pre-measured sachets. Just cut, fully squeeze and mix them. It is so easy, quick to apply and gives perfect results.”

“It will be very costly.”

“It will cost you only 30 rupees! Godrej Expert Rich Crème gives highest quality in lowest price!!”

“Unbelievable!”

I confidently presented my products in the meeting and surprisingly get several decent orders. Behind my every success in my first expert, my mother whose advice to colour my hair with Godrej Expert Rich Crème made me centre of attraction. Whether it was my GodrejExpert hair colour or my presentation skills or both but I steal the show!

The trees are 200- 300 feet high. There are many ferocious beasts and venomous reptiles. The ant hills are 10- 15 feet high. The atmosphere of this forest is highly spiritual as it is the beloved abode of Lord Dattatreya, where his incarnations emerge in and stay in subtle form all over the space of Kardaliban. In this forest Sri Narasimha Saraswati disappeared and Swami Samartha manifested. As soon as one enters the forest, one feels the sanctity of the place.

A date with nature!

It was always my dream to click the photos of butterflies. They used to fly away before I clicked the photo. This photo is a real surprise for me as I could spot five butterflies in this pic; three on the top flowers and two on the right below side of the photo.

I thoroughly enjoyed this date with nature!

I am feeling blessed!

I showed interest in reading 'Kardaliban - A Spiritual Divinity' by Prof. Kshitji Patukale as First Reads on Goodreads. This book is about the Holy Secret Place of Shri Dattatreya and... The Sacred Incarnation Place of Shri Akkalkot Swami Samarth. Shri Dattatreya is the incarnation of three Gods Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv. On the same night I saw Bhagwan Dattatreya in my dream.

A few days later I received a mail from Goodreads that I had been selected as First Reads Lucky winner and I would receive a free copy of the book. I am feeling blessed!

So many butterflies!

Can you count the number of butterflies in this pic? ;)

Life is like a wheel!

Life is like a wheel, it keeps on moving, turning and evolving. The part of wheel which is down will come up and the part of wheel which is up will come down. This is also like life that moves on continuously; difficult days will end into happiness and happy days will turn gloomy. As life moves on spreading different colors of life, the maturity level of person also increases! Keep moving, keep enjoying the different shades of life! :)

Romeos!

Then : Uff! Ye Road Romeos!
Now : Uff! Ye Net Romeos!!
