WOW

This is for all my girlfriends, who are normal, love-to-shop and would not miss a chance to pamper one-self with the ultimate beauty experience available in the city. I wanted to share a fascinating experience in a parlor that i tried last evening. It is located inside a shopping mall- which justifies its rates being on the higher side for a beauty experience. It has a feel-good setting inside. The staff is hospitable. The service was provided without any delay. All of these could amount to any good local parlour close to ur home.

I spent close to 1.5 hrs there. What i found different was- my manicure session. There was a long list of manicure services to choose from, fruit manicure, french manicure, spa manicure, to name a few. Since my hands were begging for some royal attention, i decided to go for a fruit manicure service. The girl went to work immediately and requested me to sit in a push back massage chair. Yeah! Can u believe that?!!! They have massage chairs to sit in, while they do the pampering. She operated the remote control and set it for 30 mins of massage time. It felt amazing to get a back and head massage, when otherwise you would be forced to stare into the ceiling or watch an uninteresting program on TV or watch the boring manicure procedure, as you would not have free hands to hold a magazine. She started off with immersing my palms into a bowl of warm water and put in some cream/stones into it. Followed by the nail filing, cuticle removing, zzzzz.....i just closed my eyes and enjoyed the massage for my back! After completing the usual list of manicure treatments, she went into the kitchen and returned back after 10 min, with a bowl of hand crushed papaya. She spread it on my arms and massaged it into the skin for 5 mins. She then applied a cream and spread more papaya crush onto my hands. She covered the hands with a transparent foil and further covered it with hot towels. I looked like i was involved in a hit-and-run accident with 2 damaged hands.



After a long wait of15 mins, i was released from the bandages and heaved a sigh of relief :-)


That brings us to the end of my WOW experience and for your information,
WOW stands for World Of Wellness and it is the name of the parlor.

The semi-lock down phase from April 7th - May 4, 2020 was in progress.  However, on April 20th, the PM made a sudden announcement that it will be extended until June 1, 2020. When it was expected to be PANIC mode, the people in our house responded in a matured and sensible way. Husband thinking................... "I will have another 30 days of low credit card bills?😲😲"  "Few more weeks of zero useless shopping and eating-out expenses?"  "God bless the COVID phase!😇" Wife thinking............................. "He can work from home for another month?"  "He can help me with the house chores and babysitting😀"  "How convenient!😇" Child's point of view..................... "I can wake up late and not dress up in school uniform for the next 30 days?!"  "I can have more screen time, which is officially allowed by the school and at home?" "Yay!😄" How did you respond t

The probability of my uncle sending me a sms is very rare. So the sms came as a surprise, one fine day, when I was working late in office and was frustrated. He wanted to let me know that there is a guest at his home and the guest was longing to meet me. I begged him to tell me who it was, but he did not budge. I requested him to give me a clue and found that it was a special person. When I asked where the person was from, he replied ‘Persia’. Many things were going through my head. I even wondered if it were my parents giving me a surprise visit, which was far too much to hope for. I gave up and thought that it might be one of my relatives who must have travelled down from the Middle East. The next day was my off and I decided to go visit this special person. I called my aunt to let her know (Uncle was away at work). The conversation went like this: Me : Hi Aunty, I am coming over at 11 am. Aunt: Oh yeah, I was expecting your call. Uncle had told me that you would be here to me

Daughter and S.T.O.R.A.G.E

I remember those initial days which I had spent in my first company. I had no clue that a bachelors degree in engineering could land me in one of the hottest domains in the IT industry. My dad, who is a master degree holder in Economics, and my mom, who chose to provide service to her fellow human beings on earth, by practicing as a doctor, had absolutely no clue either. Since I knew that it would be difficult for me to explain the concept of ‘domain’ in the IT field and to let them know exactly how I serve my employer with the level of knowledge I have, I did not bother revealing the exact nature of my work. Instead I conveniently chose to inform them that my work revolves around S.T.O.R.A.G.E (which was the name of the domain I was in). When I went to pay them a visit, a few months later, i came to realize that I had made a terrible mistake. Our relatives and family friends seemed to know everything regarding my work! After the initial round of “vishesham parachil”, like we call it
