The Pensive

Being a woman entrepreneur by pursuing one's hobby on a regular basis is commendable specially when a woman has to manage the house, do her day job  and simultaneously keep her passions alive. Not that any woman is forced to work or  meet the needs of a home but multitasking comes naturally to many woman :) Today on my blog I want to introduce a budding entrepreneur. I met her in the " original HP Indiblogger meet " . I found her sitting alone like me and thought to say hi. As we were two lone birds we immediately bonded and exchanged conversations, personal and professional details and by the end of the day even our phone numbers. Being my first bl ogger's meet Ranjana's company was a life saver as I started getting bored. During the conversation she said her's is the arts and crafts blog but then I thought that it was just her hobby but later realized that she is a small scale entrepreneur. Her day job is on the computer like many others' but by nigh...

Early morning aroma of filter coffee instantly rises the spirits. Reminds me those mornings of exam preparation to be in merits. The smell of a new book or the morning paper always makes me elated. The words travel from my eyes to mind giving rise to images animated! The sweet smell of roses in the garden reminds me of grand mom's place. Her love for gardening used to create a colorful atmosphere which exuded peace. The scent of the incense sticks reminds me the holy Fridays, when mom always lights them up, gives alms to the poor and prays! Image source: "here" The smell of coconut oil reminds me those lazy Sundays, when I used to have head bath after the long oil massages. Sundays were meant to watch duck-tales and jungle book. And then have a sumptuous lunch by mom who is a magnificent cook! The cool breeze with whiffs of various recipes is amazing. The aroma makes me hungry and the stomach starts rumbling. The mixed aroma of boiling dal and spic...

Originally Published at  http://theviewspaper.net/a-tribute-to-harry-potter-series/ Cannot call it "End of the Epic!!"- A tribute to Harry potter The era of awesome movies ends. These are the words which first popped in my head after I watched Harry potter and the Deathly hallows—Part 2 in theater 2 years back. Finally there was a curtain raiser to the buzz, the goosies, the overwhelm and joy and also sorrow as there won’t be any more movies! The movie was grand throughout with a total 3D filming . It was an “aahaa” and an “Aargh” moment as well to me! The movie starts exactly where it ended in 7-1 and it doesn’t skip many details which is a delight to readers .There is no ambiguity even to those who watch only movies and don’t read books, but they altered few bits and pieces like they always do .Not sure why they do it but this time the changes were in sync with the movie. The movie doesn’t spoil the war spirit or the story line but as always the worshipers who f...
