A Fake Account...

Before I board my flight a quick update for my readers. There is nothing new. It has happened n times with me. I don't take it seriously all this anymore but I owe some commitment to my readers. To save them from wrong messages and friend invites - I post this....lol.

Another account is created on FB by my name. Two people can have same name but since I am blocked from this account - and my some other relatives are also blocked so we have concluded it is  fake account....lol!

Again....lol!.....nahin.....lol!

Please I am available only through following two FB profiles.

facebook/bellissima.archana
facebook/archanakapoornagpal


If you receive any message or invites other than these two links provided as above - that's not me. I am blessed to have great friends. A friend figured this and updated me. I don't believe in reporting these accounts anymore. Rightly said by mom - 'God will take care of me at every step of life.'

Last year after I was out of hospital - many things changed within me. One life; be bindaas. We all have to pay for our deeds. I chose to ignore all negative things.

Happy weekend!
Enjoy the Black Friday discounts..... <3

Some Love Stories Never End

Happy Thanksgiving to my readers.

I want to thank God for a word that drives this universe irrespective of many wrong things around - 'Love'. I am not a SRK fan but every time I listen this song Gerua from Dilwale - I can feel my goosebumps. .tch-tch!

 Sharing the link if anyone is interested to see the beautiful video. I love the icebergs in the whole clip, and Kajol's sarees.  I love plain chiffon sarees.

Love is a thing which can change anyone. It teaches you to think of someone's good; you learn to sacrifice for other's good; you admire other's beauty or success; you learn to live other's happiness. Since my school days till date love has taught me so many things. It makes you strong to move on for everyone's good; it makes you accept people the way they are. It teaches you to forgive someone for his/her curses or bad words - as it is love.

Rightly believed by me - love stories never have a happy ending else they will never be remembered. And that's what makes one live in someone's heart, forever.

Thank you God for creating something like Love. It unites the whole universe - from mother to her child; from a friend to another friend; from husband to wife; from a sibling to another sibling....so on.

Believe in love. If it didn't worked for you - it means it was a real one.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Intolerance is a Concern ?

Mr Aamir Khan must answer one question  - which country he plans to move?

The whole world is under threat. From the brutal terrorist attacks in Paris to Brussels in news.

He is always surrounded by bouncers. Not a step he takes without them. His family is now provided security. What about the juice corners where bombs are planted or the buses where women are gang raped in India. Indians are not escapist. We are fighters. We have fought many bigger problems.

If you are a true India (which is a question now) - you will stand for the country, and with your people or your fans. But if think you are endangered in my country - I am thoughtless here.

Intolerance is everywhere indeed around the globe. There is no perfect nation. But it feels me immensely hurt when our citizens forget what India has given them..A HOME. No other nation can give you that feeling. Yes, you might earn dollars/pounds et al but will you get the same warmth as your own nation gives you.

Namaste from a chaiwala to akka/Anna from the autowala is our culture and we are striving to maintain it.

Proud to be an Indian. Proud of India!

900 Posts....:)

Life is full of surprises for me. My eyes got shortlisted as best eyes in a contest in a mall in Bangalore. The store launched a new series of kajal and number of eyes were clicked. I also participated for fun. Today - I got a call that I am chosen out of 1000s...for the title - 'best eye'. I got a coupon and free spa service for a quarter. Lol....most of the times I get compliments for my eyes, and my legs. Most of the people think I am Spanish because of my eyes and the curls.

It feels so good. And it feels amazing to share that my blog has crossed 900 posts. A woman who started this blog in 2010, and a writer now would like to thank all of you for your support and interest in my blog.

I am working on my second blog - Power Of Happiness. I have pen down some interesting posts for that blog - which will be posted soon once I am back from vacation.

Happy weekend!
