Ramp Ready Hair Everyday

 
 
We don’t wear same cloths every day then why should our hair style be same. That’s why I keep looking for different hairstyle for myself which are easy to do and go well with my attire and occasion. However for girls with curly/ wavy, frizzy hair leaving hair open is never the best option, so for us picking up good/quick hairdo is must .When  I saw the TRESemme  contest on indiblogger I got very excited.  On the TRESemme  you tube page they have shown many hair styles video tutorial. I have gone through them but decide to write about my own styles which I wear the most. I have come up with 6 different hairstyles which suits different moods and occasions and coveres up most of the occasions. let’s see them one by one :)
 
1.      Twisted half up do:





This style is good for days when my hair is well behaved. When I to leave my hair open yet manageable I opt for this half up do hair style. To achieve this look back brush your hair then divide them in half going from ear to ear and secure the top part of hair with a rubber band. Now make a small gap at the centre of this half ponytail and bring out the ponytail from there. This will create this twisted butterfly ponytail look for half of the hair while rest of your trees are handing loose. You can accessorize it with colourful clips for a casual occasion.
 
2.      Triple twist ponytail:
 



Ponytail is the most common hair style we all do most of the time. When in hurry we just tie our hair in a ponytail and we are ready to go, but wearing a similar ponytail everyday can be boring. So when I am in hurry and still want to look different I opt for this style. I tie my hair in a mid-high pony tail then I divide my bangs in 3 parts. I take each part one by one, twist them inward (so that it create a puffed look) and secure it with a clip at back. Simple, isn’t it? Looks good for college, office, outing everywhere.
 
3.      Side braid with headband:
 
 
This is my saviour hair do. On bad hair day (which happens for me very often) I opt for this hair style. This bohemian hairdo goes very well with Indian as well as western outfits. To do this side part your hair and start braiding from top of your head, taking one-one section of hair from front and putting it in the braid. You should do this all the way till your left ear, so that it looks like a headband. then with the entire hair make a side braid. Add a flower clip to accessorize.
 
4.      Layered twist around braid:
 
 
This is the look where you can get the feel of having a braid without actually braiding your hair. This gives very romantic look when done on curly hair. To do this back brush your hair and then take first section of hair from ear to ear. Tie it with a rubber band, make a gap at centre of this ponytail and put the ponytail inside from this gap and bring out. It will give a twisted took ( like done in the first style). Now take the second section of hair below ear to ear and do the same thing what done first time. Then take the reaming hair as well tie everything and twist around the same way. This is very girly and soft romantic look, works best for casual dates.
 
5.      Twisted side bun:
 
 
Side buns are so summary and are the in thing these days. So if you going out with friend and do not want your hair to disturb you, secure them in this pretty side bun. To do this make a side pony tail. Then divide the pony tail in 3 parts. Wrap the first part going anti-clock wise, secure with pins. Do same thing with second section in clock-wise. With third section do the wrapping again anti-clock wise. This gives a fuller bun even with short or mid length hair. Then start twisting your bangs inwards and push it little bit to give the puffed effect, bring it near ear and secure with a pin. Use some fancy bow-clips to accessorize your look. I wear it with my summer dresses, and it goes very well with them. Ideal choice for coffee or shopping date with friends.
 
6.      Puffed, braid bun:
 
 
Marriages are the most celebrated thing in India, and marriages calls for traditional dress up. Attending a summer wedding in heavy saree and open hair is the last thing I want to do. Humid weather and sweat will make my hair frizzy, unmanageable and ugly looking which is a big no-no for me. So here comes  my summer up do for weddings/traditional family functions. To achieve this look take your bangs and backcomb them and clip them to create a nice puff. Now leave 2-3 inch hair at both side of the puff and tie remaining hair in ponytail. Again divide this ponytail in 3 parts and wrap them to make a bun as done in previous style. Once the bun is ready make braids with the 2 inch hair which was left at both sides then bring these braids towards the bun and tuck them with help of U pins. You can use some bun clips or brooch to accessorize the bun and you are all set to rock your traditional avatar.

These are the hair styles I wear mostly, which make my hair look ramp ready always. But to carry these styles my hair should be in good condition too. And TRESemme  products help me in this, their smooth and shine range works best for my wav, frizzy hair. So what are you waiting for, pick your favourite hair style from these 6 or checkout the TRESemme  hair style tutorial videos and make your hair look ramp ready every day.

I Ring the Bell



I put my hand there trying to feel,
Yes it’s a part of me which is yet to reveal.
Will it be a boy or it will be a girl,
Thinking of this makes me fear.

If it’s a girl, what will be her future?

Will she be free or she will always live in fear?

Oh my lord, look what is going on,

In this unsafe country I don’t want my girl to born.

Yes I wanted a girl cute, pretty and fun,
But after seeing things here I am stun.


Rapes, dowry, eve teasing, and molestation

To these problems I see only one solution.
Things will change only when men will change,
When his upbringing and mentality will change

When he will consider women equal and will respect her

Then only his mother, sister and daughter will also be safer.

Oh dear god please answer my prayer,

I ring the bell in front of you please make this country safer.

दुआ सलाम


आज  फिर याद आये तुम, आखो में नमी लाये तुम ....
आज फिर याद आई तुम्हारी बातें, वो बेचैन सुबहें और लम्बी राते।

वो तुम्हारी शैतानिय, वो किस्से वो कहानिया ....
वो झूठमुठ का तुम्हारा गुस्सा और सचमुच का प्यार।
बेफिजूल की वो बाते और छोटी बातो पर तकरार।
वो तुम्हारा रूठना, वो मेरा मनाना ....
ये आखरी बार हैं कहना और फिर वही दुहराना।

सब याद आया, आखों में नमी लाया।
भरी हैं मेरी आखे पर होठो पर हैं मुस्कान,
ये आसू गम के हैं या ख़ुशी के सोच कर हूँ मैं परेशान।

खैर छोड़ो ये सारी बाते, तुम अपना रखना ध्यान ....
खुशियों का घर बनाना हँसी का हाथ थाम।

जिंदगी ना रुकी है ना रुकेगी कभी, लॊग आयेगे - जायेगे ये चलेगी युहीं।

हो सके तो करना हम पर ईतना ऎह्सान ....
जब भी टकराए हमारी रहे, मुस्कुरा कर करना दुआ सलाम।

Bangalore for women: What we want?


On weekend I attended a bloggers meet organized by Indiblogger and Times of India. Times of India is driving this initiative “Bangalore for women” from quite some time which I have seen in newspaper. Now they decided to pool-in bloggers too, to give larger online impact to this drive. In the meet we had open discussion about the problems faced by women in the city. There were many issues shared, and some personal experience from fellow bloggers which were terrifying. I and many other blogger like me were in state of shock when we came to know that after Delhi, Bangalore is the second unsafe city for women in India. I always thought that we are living in a calm and safe city but that information was like a wake up call for me.

Bangalore being the IT hub of India sees lots of people coming here for work and higher study every year. I was not born in Bangalore, but I am living here from last 6.5 years. This city has given me my work and identity, this city is more like a home to me now. And same is the case with many others too. Bangalore is the city which has the most women workforce in technology industry in India. In the meet we have discussed a lot about the problems faced by women in the city and other issues. So here I want to talk about some solution and initiatives I believe will make a women’s life easier and safer in the city.

Prepaid Auto stand near techparks: Commutation is a big concern for women working late in office. Atuo’s charge more at night and they are not very safe either. But at those odd hours we have no other option but to pay them what they want and pray for reaching home safe. Having a prepaid auto stand with a constable on duty will save us from arguments on auto-fair and will give a feeling of getting watched to the Auto drivers( their vehicle number and passenger’s phone number should be included in the receipt) . This in turn will make late night commutation safer for women.
Working Helpline number: When caught in ugly situations, we really don’t know whom to contact. We mostly end up calling your relatives or friends who may not be the able to really help us in such situations. Having a functional helpline number (which is quick and efficient) will be very handy. With that at least we will know that in times of danger whom to contact.
Women Auto/Bus/Cab driver: Having women drivers will bring a sense of safety. We can expect them to be empathic to other women and the trust factor will increases. Late night cabs provided by corporate feels unsafe at times due to the incidents happened in past, having women drivers and women security guards will surly help.
Corporate Anti-Harassment cell: There are possibilities of mental and physical harassment in the work place too. Most of the women do not feel comfortable sharing this with their male bosses and keep quite. Having an Anti-Harassment committee at work place will help the victims come out. The committee can have some senior women employees who are easy to approach. There are all guidelines given for such cells in corporates but many small industries or offices do not follow it. This should be made compulsory and employees should be motivated to come forward and voice against such harassment.
Self-Defense Education in techparks/ colleges/ schools: With all the securities and facilities around still we cannot be safe always. As self-help is the best help, self-defense is the best form of safety every women can have. We all know this but tend to push it at back of our minds due to other deadlines and works, and think of it only when we are in ugly situations. Conducting Self-defense sessions in techparks, colleges and schools will make sure all the women make the most out of it without sacrificing other commitments. Corporates and education institutions have to pay attention towards this.
There are so many other problems too which women in our city face. But I feel safety of the women inside and outside home is most important. Working woman is considered independent, but until she is living in fear she is not completely independent. If women are not safe, they cannot explore their abilities to the fullest. We live in the technology hub of India, there are hundreds of MNCs here,  if here women are not safe then what a shameful picture of our nation we are showing to this world. Every morning when I get up and leave for work I should feel motivated about my work and not worried about my safety. Let’s work towards making this city the safest city for women in India. Safe Bangalore is the Bangalore we all want for us, Safe Bangalore is the Bangalore for women.
