Zindagi - Jodey Dilon Ko

Hey Everyone !!!!

If you follow me on Twitter you already know what I did last Saturday. If not go here and read. Or just continue reading this post :D.

I got a chance to attend yet another Indimeet. If you have been reading the blog for a while you know how much I love them. A chance to meet fellow bloggers, lots of fun activities and great food always make my day.

Zindagi IndiBlogger Meet was organized in Mumbai and Delhi to introduce us to Zee's new entertainment channel Zindagi - Jodey Dilon Ko

The launch of Zindagi is significant in many ways as it is not just as entertainment channel

but a philosophy that will help Indians empathize with the lives of those across the

geographical borders. Zindagi reinforces the vision of ZEE’s corporate philosophy

‘Vasudhaiva Kutumbukam ‐ The World is My Family’ and aims to unite people in India and

across the world with shows produced overseas.

Entertainment is seamless as it cuts across boundaries and across strats of society. With the

message of ‘Jodey Dilon Ko’, Zindagi will touch hearts and break barriers to relate with

people living across borders. As the first‐ever national launch for a Hindi language channel,

the objective is to continue to deliver and spread strong human values through hand‐picked

content across the world.

Starting June 23, Zindagi will bring viewers in India stories from across the border, starting

with stories from Pakistan that embrace universal emotions. A variety of shows, written by

award‐winning novelists, literary stalwarts and adapted from famous novels and books, will

engage audiences as a fresh alternative on television.

This meet was not just fun but also heart touching. We were not only live in conversation with Delhi bloggers all the time but also got to interact with people from across the border - Sultana Apa, the director of Hum Network and Actor Imran Abbas (HE IS HOT!!!!) who joined us at the Mumbai venue.
Rather than writing a long post, let me just quickly tell you the highlights of the day.

Did you see Delhi Blogger on those two screens?

This is the first time these international shows will air on Indian Television starting with Pakistani TV shows. But there are already fans of Pakistani TV shows here in India (All thanks Youtube). If you don't watch TV serials like me because most of them are looooooooooooong and unrealistic give these shows a try. Why you ask? Well these shows don't have more than 25-30 episodes and promise some good and realistic stories. Also you finally get to see what life really is across the border.

It was Mumbai v/s Delhi. Yes debate on which city is better in terms of transport, street food, bloggers and Men (in terms of hotness). MUMBAI IT IS. And yes we earned it by proving it at the event.

Imran Abbas

It was great interacting with people from across the border. To see that there is no difference between them and us. As Imran Abbas said - "Ek hi mitti se humari jade nikli hai" (we have common roots.) Also both Sultana Apa and Imran Abbas, answered each and every question that they were asked by the bloggers from both the cities not just related to TV but everything in general.

Mumbai Bloggers

And apart from these we of course had the regular fun games that ended with a hud hud and a group photo. I am so happy that I got to attend attend this Inter-city and Across Border meet. Hats off to Indiblogger and Zee for making this happen.

Don't forget to tune into Zindagi TV starting 23rd June, 2014 not just for entertainment, but also to support this attempt by Zee to bring together the two countries.

TRESemme Split Remedy Shampoo Conditioner | Review

Hey Everyone !!!

For those who have been reading the blog for a while now, I was a tomboy is no news. But for those who haven't been, here is a quick flashback - I was a total tomboy till a few years ago. I never cared what I wore, how I looked. Many a times I would go out wearing my Bro's T-shirt with loose jeans. Makeup, skin care, hair care were not at all a part of my life. No not even Kajal or Lip balm. Wondering why I am telling you all this? Continue reading and you will know why.

One day during school summer vacations, one of my cousins had come to my place. She was I-Know-It-All types. She saw me picking and ripping the ends of my hair in the afternoon and said, " Oh no!!! What is wrong with you? Don't do that. They look really bad. You have to cut them now."

I looked at her with a a shock face "What? What are you talking about?"

"Split ends. Don't you know you have to cut them or else they'll grow upwards and lead to hair fall. You have to get a hair cut asap." she said.

"Really? No other way to get rid of these?I don't want to go to the parlor" I said.

"No" she said. " Cutting your hair is the only solution for split ends."

And this is what I have been doing all these year. Split Ends = Hair cut. Not just me, all the people I know do this, even if they don't want to.

So when TRESemme came up with their new range - Split Remedy Shampoo & Conditioner I had to try it out. I have been using this for about a month now and here is my review.
