SHADE-O-MANIAC

While scampering through my photo album of the past couple of years I noticed that I have so many pictures where I’m wearing my shades. I suddenly realized how many sun-glasses I have and guess what I nearly have a dozen of them, but what is more noticeable is the fact- I have this real love for shades, though I never paid attention to it, but now as a matter of fact I realize that I love wearing them a lot, of course the proof is all those pictures below. Even though, I keep on trying different shapes and models suiting my various fashion styles and clothes-line, my personal favorite is the Ray Ban Aviators. Ray Ban Aviators have their own class and superb uniqueness, I just love them. So, I invented a term for myself called- SHADE-O-MANIAC!!

I’m not really a fashion blogger and I haven’t put my own photos on my blog ever since, but thought of experimenting a bit and putting my few “Shady” Pictures(Pictures where I’m wearing my various shades). Though, I admit, I love being fashionable and trying new stuff with my looks and I’m sure you will agree to what I’m saying after seeing all my photos below.

So, after seeing all my pictures, anyone interested in me for a Sun Glasses Modeling assignment? Lol..just kidding. People do share your thoughts about this fashion post.

P.S. I'm a firm believer of fashion, though I don't have any fashion(-able) posts on my blog, but thanks to the millions of Fashion Bloggers around the world for inspiring me to publish my very first fashion post where I have shown my love for the Sun Glasses. Some experiments are worth a try, isn't it?  


P.P.S. In this post you will find the narcissism inculcated within me all these years and I do it by showing off my own pictures, but only in the true spirits of Fashion, Photography and Expression :-)

GETTING YOUNGER & FITTER

Many years ago, I used to consider human body ‘on its own’ meaning it will be what it wants to be automatically irrespective of the special diet or any other extra intakes, I thought the demographic influence and the regular foods intake is enough. Then a few years later as I started understanding my body and the various hundreds of mechanisms continuously working inside it, I understood an important thing- the human body is evolved by a natural phenomenon but to make it perfect it has to be nourished correctly and properly.

Every single part of the body has its own demands and ways of nourishment, and to live longer and healthier life one has to fulfill it. I’m sure there are plenty of live examples in front of you, and I’m also sure many a times in your life you might have had these questions- Why we age? Why my skin is losing the glow? Why m I having the hair-fall? Why these cardiovascular diseases are spreading? Why everyone is becoming a victim of Diabetes or Alzheimer? The situation becomes really scary and you are in dilemma that after pursuing a healthy life style still such problems are happening, but the harsh reality is your perception of healthy living is incorrect and the body has not being well nourished yet, there is still something missing.

I used to be a complete anti to all the health related products in the market, I always had it straight in my mind that all these companies selling the products are fake and just trying to make money by fooling the people, but then I came across a friend. This friend of mine was in terrible health a month ago when I last met him and today I was so surprised the way he was looking in perfect shape and fitness. He shared his story with me and then I got to know about Oxis International. For the first time in my life I had interest to know about a company, which sells such health related products, and I started finding more about it. Surprisingly, I found a firm that is involved in intense research and development of the most useful health products like- the products that counteract the harmful effects of “oxidative stress”, therapeutic compounds that have potential application in the treatment of neurodegenerative (Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s), cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and other conditions, and products that concerns with brain health, immunity against diseases, anti-aging, inflammation, detoxification and many more.

Reliability is an important factor for all us before trying any health related products, all of us have serious doubts and concerns in our mind about the side effects of such products and as a result we many a times stop ourselves from trusting a genuine product as well, but it’s human nature and all of us is like that only. Nevertheless, I’m sure it’s not difficult to trust a company who has several patents to its name and justify its credibility, and Oxis is one of them. It has many patented research methodologies to develop Nutraceutical and Cosmecuetical products and many different products to its name. It is surely enough to trust a product from a company that respects both consumer’s money and health. So, if you want to look younger, fitter and beautiful try Oxis, it definitely worth a try. You can also find Oxis among the people on the social networking site- Twitter and Facebook, so let’s not waste our precious health, time and money and contact Oxis first.

WHO IS REALLY INSPIRING?

I have this amazing widget on my blog, which keeps on flashing motivational quotes randomly and today it has something really interesting that triggered me to think about it. Well it says- “If what you're working for really matters, you'll give it all you've got” by Nido Qubein.

Nido Qubein is a motivational speaker and president of High Point University, an accredited undergraduate and graduate institution. What is more interesting about Mr.Qubein is the fact that he had been ranked 6th among the most motivational speaker world wide in 2008. He is chairman of the Great Harvest Bread Company. He is an active speaker and consultant addressing more than 100 business and professional groups around the world each year. His books and learning programs have been translated into three dozen languages and are sold across the globe.

You know what I think on knowing so much about Mr.Qubein that he is one really inspiring soul on this earth. Yet I still not convinced with his quote mentioned above. I understand this clearly that its very logical and basic for someone to give one’s best shot at something, which really interests him but this is a very simple thought or let me just say that it’s a very common aspect of one’s personality. It’s like when I like something and it really matters to me, I m going to give my best shot, this is kind of obvious isn’t it? With due respect to Mr.Qubein and with no offense to his opinion instead, I feel this is not at all motivating, probably if that quote, would have given me an advice or mantra through which I could have realized a thing that really matters to me in life would have been worth. I think, we all in our lives want to achieve what really matter but most of us throughout our lives are never clear about it so we keep on trying different things at all times by actually copying the people who have done well rather than doing what would really matter to us. It’s a proven fact that people who are clear about what they want are the one who are successful in their lives. The reason is very simple as they know what exactly they want and in which direction they have to apply themselves, with full force to achieve what they exactly want. So, what I m trying to say is it’s not about if I m doing a thing that really matters to me and I m giving my best in it but it’s about how I realize what thing really matters to me because once I know that it’s almost definite that I m going to give my all to it.

Au contraire, I have another observation, which I would want to share here. There are people with such a character who have a tendency of giving their best at whatever they do. Moreover, they do it despite their intention if it really matters to them but it’s more of their rare pure character. These are actually the people who are true winners because not only they feel satisfied with themselves as they do all the things with full passion but also do it with all they have. Beyond that it really doesn’t matter to them even if it doesn’t reap them any use. For instance, I know a person who works for a MNC. I know that this guy has not received any good hikes for last 2 years or so but yet his passion for his work and zealot at work is commendable. He himself knows that there is no use of working so hard but still he do it for himself. He says that’s his nature or character he feels satisfied in life only after performing something not by cheating himself. Now this is a truly inspiring character because if one knows what really matters to him in life, he would surely going to give his all but here is somebody who is not sure what matters to him and yet giving his all.

MEN HAVE A NEW AVTAR:HYBRIDOSEXUALITY

Today fashion is an essential part of everybody's life. Fashion has been often associated with the fairer sex as compared to the men but with the changing times and with fashion's yet again reincarnation, the equilibrium is certainly reached where both men and women are equally concerned about it. Today the fashion has classified the men in different categories on the basis of their fashion habits. Men are mainly bifurcated as -- The Metro Sexual Men and The Retro Sexual Men.

The man who mainly keeps a hard raw looking, rough and tough beards ,and preferably, keeps the chest hairs are known as the Retro Sexual Man. The Retro Sexual men pretend to be stronger and supposedly are considered to be The REAL MEN. It is believed that they are the ones who are extremely against shaving their chest hair , and they hate to try cosmetics and creams on their skins, which they consider as feminine habits.

On the other side, we have the clean shaved men who are more worried about their looks known as the Metro Sexual Men. They feel shaving chest and beard make them look better and gives them confidence. They do not mind going through various sessions of skin therapies at the saloons and enjoy every other men-cosmetics, which are present in the market. They are very peculiar about their hygiene and want to keep all clean look.


There is an open war against the Retro's VS the Metro's. If a survey has to be believed the Retro's are the one who are appealing more to women as compared to the Metro's. One strong reason why women support the Retro's is that they look bold and strong, which a woman ideally wants in her man. The woman wants it's man to be aggressive and she wants him to drive her and take control of the situation. Yet another survey among a well educated and sophisticated women supported the Metro Sexual Men. These women believe that a gentleman is suppose to flaunt a clean shaved beard, a proper hair cut and a clean shaved chest. Interestingly, the more women who were surveyed about their preferences made the battle closely contested. So, in the end it is very difficult to judge which of a kind are preferred by women.



Metro or Retro this mystery of "My Man Contest" may not resolve very soon but before that I have to reveal a secret about the Men. Even before the scientists of the so called "Fashion World" a.k.a Fashion Gurus could discover who is better than whom, Men have already taken a step forward and discovered a "new of a kind". The new avatar of men has evolved and it is bridging the gap between the Metro Sexuality and the Retro Sexuality. This new avatar of men scores with both the retro-loving ladies and the metro-loving ones. The newly found hybrid smart and intelligent man is keeping the beard, keeping the long hair(like a retro sexual man) and also, shaving his chest hair and using the cosmetics to look good(like a metro sexual man). This HYBRIDOSEXUAL (combination of Retro sexual and Metro sexual) breed of man is keeping the beard but still trim it to look decent enough for a formal gathering. I reckon bollywood actors - Hrithik Roshan and John Abraham are the biggest examples of the HYBRIDOSEXUAL Men.Men have already cultivated this new hybrid sexuality called HYBRIDOSEXUALITY to win the hearts of all ladies despite their preferences and putting themselves in a win-win situation with all the ladies around them.

So, ladies do you still have a choice ;-)??

SWINE FLU: THE TEST OF PEOPLE’S FITNESS

Swine Flu death toll has just touched to 27 today in India. In the city of Pune alone the death toll has reached to 15 and in Bangalore, a total of 5 people have been victimized to death by Swine Flu. The picture is looking gloomy but it also raises a question, is the virus attacking everyone and anyone can fall its prey?

The answer to the above question in the most simple, scientific and logical way would be – Yes. The Swine Flu Virus can attack anybody but it’s not necessary that you will suffer the H1N1 Influenza. Let me put light on some of the facts, which reflects a true story.

In India out of the 27 people, who have died approximately 12-14 people have died because of the lack of proper medical remedies been taken against the Swine Flu, which were because of the lack of detection of Swine Flu or late detection by the doctors. Rest of the people, who died are either the old people (50+ years of age) or children below the age of 15.

Now there is a common thing between the people of older age and the children, which is their Immune System. Both the older aged people and children have a similar kind of immunity levels. The children normally have their immunity in a pre-matured stage, which is yet to develop into a full fledged reliable Immune System and on the other hand, aged people have weak immunity, which has deteriorated over the years and is not in the most reliable form. In both the cases, lower fitness and lower immunity are the reasons for victimization to H1N1 Influenza.

One thing is very clear that Immunity is driven from a person’s fitness. A better fitness levels can help an individual gain a reliable immune system. A 20-minutes daily workout of cardiovascular exercises can improve your immune system. By having a better immune system it will be more difficult for you to catch a cold or any other viral diseases for that matter. It’s a necessity to maintain a good fitness level along with good hygiene to fight against viral diseases like Swine Flu. So, hit the gym or start working out on your fitness today. Better fitness leads to better life and for the first time in my life I have realized the true meaning of the statement – The Survival of the Fittest. Hope you too understand it today and live a better life with better fitness from here on.
