I am excited about today evening. I am going to have my hands painted with mehndi, because tomorrow is our festival Rakhi (festival for brothers and sisters). My brothers are not here, but I have sent them their Rakhi's. But, i'll do my bit, whatever I can in their absence. I am so looking forward to the evening. I looove mehndi and it's smell.. :D
Sadly smell of Mehndi gives me a headache :-(Quote:

Yeah, some people don't like the smell. I like the whole process of it, from the time they put the mehndi oil on the palms, the way they slowly make the design, then later how I put lemon and sugar mixture to keep it from falling, and then keeping it for the whole night to get a dark shade. :D :DQuote:

Oops ! His world must have fallen apart :p I remember when we were in school these things happened a lot. I know the vice-versa used to happen to me, none of the guys liked me and would ask me to tie rakhi :rolleyes: I wasn't hurting anyone, then why did they ask me to do that? :bawling:Quote:

You move on and you meet better people in life. Thinkining twice thats exactly how life is. You just have to move on though you cant forget.... :)
Hey, what is tie rakhi mean?
Rakhi is a festival for brothers and sisters, where the sister has to tie a rakhi / a embellished thread on the hand of her brother. It has a story behind, but it basically shows the love between a brother and a sister and also a pledge taken by the brother that he will protect his sister in all times.Quote:

Raksha means 'protection' The sister ties a colored thread (raakhi) on the brother's wrist to remind him that he is to protect her during times of adversity, and it is believed that the sister protects her brother by virtue of the fact that she prays that her brother is always saved from harm's way always, and in every way. Indrani tied it on Lord Indra's wrist to protect him while He warred with the Demons.
I hope this helps.... Granny5
My current thought is that I think entirely too much...
moksha
2 racist encounters in a week ... what is the world coming to , and the annoying thing is you cant exacty stand up to them when they are a foot and more taller than you.
grrrrrrrrrrrr:mad: :rage:
I wish I could paint well. :( Or describe things better. Mostly I've got a picture in my head, knowing exactly how something is supposed to look but I just can't describe it as well as I'd like to.
I've always loved this! Ever since I read about. Got any bracelet pics?Quote:

Leona Helmsley leaves 12 million dollars to her maltese in her will and completely ignores some of her relatives, and doesn't even bother leaving any of her abundant wealth to any charities or towards any positive world-changing causes.
Why? Pet dogs already have the best life there is if they're taken care of.
It's a Beautiful World.
waaahhh I missed you guys i love you all!Seeing this brown page made me tear a bit thinking of the family I made here! ~woo~ oh boy does it feel good to be back! oohh and I see there are a lot of new members too meet and a lot of interesting threads to read!

I thought she did leave some money for charities. I did hear she left money to two grandkids and cut the other two out. Still, I can't believe she left that much money to a dog. She must have loved it very much.Quote:

I am thinking I have eaten so much.
Im a big idiot, my mum was right this is impossible.... *sigh* Note to self if you are ever rearanging the furniture dont put up the one pice of unmovable furniture up before you get everything else near where you want it or you may end up stuck. :rolleyes:
Am thinking what I should do.... It seems pretty jobless here... I just become out spaced like I am right now when my friend does not message me and runs away for some stupid meeting somewhere... He has been doing this for a while now... am thinking how I can bash him up when he is back from his stupid meetings......
Did she really now? *researches*Quote:

Like it can do anything with it. She still could have changed the world more with that money.
It seems to me that all the richest, most powerful people in this world don't do enough to help out. It bugs me. Bill Gates and all of those other people could literally change the world. Really.
I do know that there are famous rich people who do try, and I admire them for that.
I wish I had more time. School is stressing me already.
I...need to see Wes Anderson films. *eyes get all big and watery*
AND BUY THE SOUNDTRACKS TO THEM.
I'm crying. *sniff* That music...IS HEAVENLY.
So much work and so little time *sigh* What am I doing here on litnet when I should be working? :rolleyes:
My exams
Ah, well... my job isn't going so well... they are taking so long to give me that darned piece of writing work.. oh come on gimme this break! I need money! My 8-year old friends are already giving me lists of what they want for Christmas :(
Tea tea tea tea tea tea I want tea tea tea tea tea ....
I am thinking -- When was the last time I did star gazing? Ages ago, I guess. Today, when I came out of my office, and was about to leave, I just looked up towards the sky, and I saw it full of stars. I stood there for a few seconds, my eyes stuck on this one particular star, I was thinking -- Is it moving? Is it moving fast? Or slow? And then I remembered that I used to do this a lot when I was a little girl. How much I miss those good old days *sigh*
hummmmm ohhhhhhh light headed.....
Being awake at half past three (a.m.) brings no advantages at all. :yawnb:
To Themis: Chamomile tea, hot with alot of whole milk works for me.
Good morning world :wave: :D-- ok I cant spell with one hand:rolleyes:
is anyone else awake?
Me... though Id better get ready for work
Thank you. :) I'll be sure to try that next time.Quote:

My favourite book by Stienbeck will be East of Eden. I like that book more than Grapes of Wrath. :nod:
