status today ,and it has got 62 comments amongst only 5 ppl ..its so nice to see how ppl are keeping under one wrap of this status msg .Nowadays a persons mood is judged by FB status ,and its really true .its easier to read "wats in ur mine stuff" through this...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;we never thought we will get so drunk on that night ..yah it was saturday nite ..we decided we sud drink..but who will get the wine /beer ..or who will enter the shop ..we both didnt have the guts ( MIND U ..we were not fearless)..we still mind abt ppl whp will look at 2 of us who is in thier 20's buying those stuffs ..are we not good grls crossed our mind back and forth ..worried abt marriage prospects too ,thought of hiring a rickshaw driver but he wont be able to say "SMIRNOFF",i just manage to said it sometimes back :)so we dropped that idea..&lt;br /&gt;That 9th saturday nite ,45 mins were spent strolling on SEC 6 and SEC 10 market on that chilled gusty winds just to work out " who will get us the wines ?"&lt;br /&gt;we measured the IQ of our grey cells many a time .our saviour on that day were our helpful colleagues who tried to give 2 young ladies a memorable night...&lt;br /&gt;Then the Drama Started : "ssh we are in society ,1 am became the 4 am of that morning ,a grl asking a best fren over the phone " do u love me agn and agn,harvested the crops in the farmville..became the ordeal in the midnight ..&lt;br /&gt;another young lady hated the word " D (Drink) and P ( Puke )"becos she puke 10 times after the alcohol consumption...she hate to see the "Wine and beer" shop now which she fantasised getting there a day before ..how a grl change ?&lt;br /&gt;Bhai listened over the phone ,patience was being practised by him ....&lt;br /&gt;Morning puke was being saved by some medicines brought by dear fren ..&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ohhhhhhh how much "D " and "P " are related is due to " C( Cocktail of Vodka and Beer).....grls out !!!!&lt;div

type='text'>Idiotic films and Idiotic frens :)</title><content type='html'>when i watched the trailers of " 3 idiots " on TV ,i made up my mind i wanted to watch this movie with my best college chum ,Sneha singh ..cos this was abt ur collefe life ,frens and masti ( Courtesy : 5point someone by Chetan Bhagat,i love that book :) and sneha and I shared some memorable moments in our boring life sciences hons classes..we found those classes so boring ,grls taking out blades and razors for dissection of green chlorophyll leaves ( yah botany hons in grls college ,wat else )..and mind you all grls were so enthu abt it ..so obedient type ..we also used to follow the teacher;s instruction ..but in last season of 2nd year we realised we need to enjoy apart from this boring practical class post lunch ...we sometimes skipped th prac class or we bunked the class since morning and used to visit Knags( students call for kamala nagar ) where even the " Momos Point" was closed..we waited and were the first customer who were treated with hot steaming momos,window shopping and chacha' baturas for lunch sometimes then checking out guys in DUniv ...and we had some papers to be passed in btwn ( chemistry was supplementary paper so we are very careless abt it ,i even flunked my zoology ,another supplementary in my 1st year ..u sud have seen my dad;s reaction aftr the result was out )but we managed to passed at the end ..phew ...&lt;br /&gt;3 idiots was a runaway hit movie  between us where we can relate the thoughts and&lt;br /&gt;enjoyment but why these movies were not made when we were graduating ? at least we wud have inspired and do something which we were good at ...nowadays i envy these college babes where they have so much of luxuries - delievery free of pizzaz outlet,chinese food,and all fast foods around the corner when we used to struggle between Maggis and chole batura infront of SRCC...yah delivery was not a problem cos we had some volunteer like manjusha and dat fatsy grl ( i frgt ) who always asked the whole hostel on weekends if we want anything from outside ...&lt;br /&gt;And yah Today sneha and i have chosen our different paths - me in media and she in health care management even though we still crib about our job like everyone does ....Sneha, I havenot even got the luxury of going outside india on business trips and conferences like u did ..but we think the jobs are better than Botany Boring classes ..Sneha ..cheers ...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1'

Around 3000 stalls  are  being managed by women.No doubt the sales and marketing skills of all the women in the market are very fascinated and try to sell the products as fast as possible by making the consumers happy at the end of the day deriving a win-win situation on both the sides.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Ima market is also a high tourist spot which is situated in the heart of the Imphal Valley attracting many of people who comes to visit Imphal.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/687096076334166185-7256482434515722314?l=agonyaunt-ramina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agonyaunt-ramina.blogspot.com/feeds/7256482434515722314/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=687096076334166185&amp;postID=7256482434515722314' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/687096076334166185/posts/default/7256482434515722314'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/687096076334166185/posts/default/7256482434515722314'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agonyaunt-ramina.blogspot.com/2007/12/ima-keithel-imphal.html' title='Ima keithel-Imphal'/><author><name>Ramina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15021640198791283847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_4knZUIEBl8c/R4CIawHJq8I/AAAAAAAAAGc/iuPQ2rhZZQU/S220/ramina+latest.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4knZUIEBl8c/R21K_QHJq5I/AAAAAAAAAFk/fcdSXV1imIQ/s72-c/191120072268.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687096076334166185.post-2211343149180802617</id><published>2007-12-22T21:38:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2008-12-10T00:51:44.002+05:30</updated><title type='text'>My Old Fren......</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4knZUIEBl8c/R202zQHJq3I/AAAAAAAAAFU/mx345PIV50w/s1600-h/221220072386.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146830203280534386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4knZUIEBl8c/R202zQHJq3I/AAAAAAAAAFU/mx345PIV50w/s320/221220072386.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whenever I visit Dilli haat,I always stopped by at this corner just to listen to the melodious music played by my old fren with his musical instrument,he plays different tunes,sounds of music ranging from sad,melancholy to very romantic songs at times.His face reacts to the music he plays,he closes his eyes deeply whenever he plays very emotional and sad ones ,his face becomes lighter whenever he plays a light music.He is always being crowded with kids because every kids wants to own the instrument he sells or otherwise he is always playing with his instrument entertaining all the visitors,and it seems nobody wants to disturb his rythym and concentration,but i just ask before taking this snap"Please smile",he nodded and gave a quick smile for my camera.His smile warms the cold wintry evening.Thanks so much.....

A "destination in itself" offering a beautiful amalgam of craft,food and cultural activities of India.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;I have never found Dilli haat empty even in weekdays,rather always buzzed with people from all over the world exploring the upgraded version of traditional Indian markets which offer ample of varities ranging from handloom,Crafts,to gems,beads,fabric and drapery etc...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;The handlooms range are limitless ,consisting of Ikats from A.P,Orissa,Daccai from W.B,Chanderi pattern of M.P,checks from T.N,Bandhez from Jaipur,Kashmiri's pashmina shawls to Manipuri's silk sarees and Naga's shawl.Its a shoppers's paradise who really know the imporatnce of Indian fabrics and handlooms.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;It will be unfair if I dont mention the food plaza from various regions of India to savour the ethnic flavours of gastronomic delights.If you are lucky you can encounter the big food festval which displays regional food very often.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;In short,I would recommend, if you want to see more of Indian diverse cultures and traditions or you have friends or relatives visiting India,Dilli Haat is the place for you,it wont let you down. Dilli haat..It is a total colourful Indian Experience...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

busy schdeduling, planning for our weekend plans,we always look forward for friday in our office as it's the best day .... a theme day...like "Happy Feet day" where we have to wear Black and white,all Devills day,White day,Chakde Madison Day,dandiya Day,Heart day,Cancer awareness day...basically we dont missed out any day for celebrations and the concern for any Cause...and the most exciting part is our union for our photo- sessions where we poised at our best level and give a good shot...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;I think part of "Fun at work" should be encouraged where we are given a chance to interact more and involved more and get to know many more exciting facets of unknown person...the fun side of the most serious person in the office....and moreover we get a break from our dear rows of excel sheets.... so its all our day...thank god its' friday.....&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br

type='text'>Journey of confessions.....</title><content type='html'>Its 10 pm and i am tune into Meow Fm for my favourite Program called "Between the Sheets",this is the program where all the women longed for(I suppose) and do thier soulful confessions to RJ Mr Anil,who is really patient and take all the calls and listen to thier problem,I salute you Sir for ur patience..and I really realised ,we women have so much to say.We just need someone to listen to us who can give some solutions even though we know the Rj is not a god but we all pushed upto the level to get some analytical solutions.The journey of confessions become so interesting , i find my self interacting with all the listeners( and yah I ve done my confessions in one of the Shows too).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I never thought people can get so involved in this interactive program and they let all thier feelings out.The confessions range from friendship to breakups of thier love ,jeolousy,Offic work culture and thier realtionships with thier boss,and to the divorce matters of a marriage.Some cry,Some laugh,Some become sarcastic ,and some become so diverted that they go on and on forgetting what they have to say....It gets deeper and deeper for all the women as the night continues.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I salute all the women who listens to the show and have much more respect for all those who pour out thier feelings,this is the independence and freedom we have and we have rightly used this program as our forum .Way to go.. women......more confessions...more journey.. these will keep us alive....&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/687096076334166185-6910947128770457118?l=agonyaunt-ramina.blogspot.com'

style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Brunch is the word which I always associate with weekends,’cos I have the pleasure of getting up late and try something innovative and interesting gastronomic platter calling it as a heavy and tasty Brunch since it is possible on my holidays only. But my concept of Brunch found a new meaning when I to Goa for 5-6 days. Everyday was the day of royal luxury Brunch which I always associate in weekends. Maybe this time,I was quite prepared not to overload myself with heavy breakfast, lunch and dinner so that I can have good time in the beaches playing around (In Goa you tend to have all the possible sea food available there gulping down with some good drinks).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my days normally start finding out the best restaurants and Hotels which is located near the beach side and which can give me the best Goan ethnic cuisine and food. My search got completed with some help from my sister (who did quite a good research in Goan food and restaurant) and the locals who stay there and also all the shopkeepers on the beaches (they are the best bet)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My first encounter was with one of the best restaurants in Calungate beach called “Infataria” which offers you the best breakfast or brunch ranging from bacons, suasages, bread omelette, pancakes,porridges and yummy pastries,etc..and to tell you, Heinz baked beans never tasted so good till now (maybe I was hungry)and the pineapple juices was a refreshing one . Another restaurant called ‘Souza lobo’ is worth mentioning in Calungate beach because of its ambience and good hospitality, and the restaurants facing the sea beach do offer plenty of action to catch while ordering for the food and definitely don’t miss out the baked crab with cheese,Mix fried rice with prawns and yellowish French fries(Mc Donald’s can faced a good threat). &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Next was with the best beach I ranked in Goa “Bagga beach” which is really clean and the best crowd and the restaurant we had our brunch was not at all disappointing rather I would say it’s a blessing that we didn’t missed out on “Britto’s.Everything was so fantastic about this restaurant facing the beautiful greenish blue sea, good hospitality and the best music which can make you feel good, and the food was what I called “Heaven”. Try out anything but don’t miss out the “roasted Chicken in White sauce”. Its amazing.&lt;br /&gt;The other beaches like Anjuna,Vagator,Agauda are beautiful whnich are not much crowded but don’t missed out the flea market of Anjuna beach which we missed out this time.&lt;br /&gt;Apart from having the Beach side’s brunches, feel you like having the food n before reaching the beaches and if you happen to crossed panjim on the way,stop your car and asked the driver about the best hotel which can offer you varieties and Goan cuisine, I bet the answer is ‘Vinete’(Just a few n steps away from Panjim residency ) and the ‘Classic Ritz hotel’. But I like Vinete more ‘cos it reminds me of Big Chill in Delhi (the young and peppy crowd and the kind of food),the wall adorning the paintings of ethnic Goan tribe culture ,signatures, and writings of all the people who came to Vinete from all over the World. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;The Brunches are always good and royal but having on the beach side does add more taste to the food being tasted and enjoyable and u can just sunbathe with a gud drink in the afternoon.&lt;br /&gt;Indeed Goa is the place just to forget everything you normally faced in your life and leading a life full of lively music, smiling faces of Goan people and their hospitality which always brings me back again and again to rejuvenate myself and my soul.And you bet,Beach and Brunch always makes a good combo in Goa.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/687096076334166185-5406533123351590271?l=agonyaunt-ramina.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://agonyaunt-ramina.blogspot.com/feeds/5406533123351590271/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=687096076334166185&amp;postID=5406533123351590271' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/687096076334166185/posts/default/5406533123351590271'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/687096076334166185/posts/default/5406533123351590271'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://agonyaunt-ramina.blogspot.com/2007/10/brunch-and-beach-brunch-is-word-which-i.html' title='Brunch and Beach......'/><author><name>Ramina</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15021640198791283847</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='http://bp2.blogger.com/_4knZUIEBl8c/R4CIawHJq8I/AAAAAAAAAGc/iuPQ2rhZZQU/S220/ramina+latest.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_4knZUIEBl8c/RywjmgacksI/AAAAAAAAADQ/DLR2ccUGCLE/s72-c/11092007(002).jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-687096076334166185.post-1929377392157936655</id><published>2007-08-23T15:42:00.000+05:30</published><updated>2008-12-10T00:51:47.420+05:30</updated><title type='text'>Shopping Spree......</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_4knZUIEBl8c/RyzWswacktI/AAAAAAAAADY/vHIw_3W7UHQ/s1600-h/shopping.bmp"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5128710140066566866" style="FLOAT: left;
