Look Sunkissed Not Sun Drenched !

Ever gone over board with the bronzer ? These small tips might help ya out with it, this winter! Also check out the article on Vogue India.

Bronzer might be the single most widely bought / used makeup product in the summers but its real magic is brought to light only in winters. Imagine pale dead skin transforming into a healthy complexion, tinged to spring-y perfection – the mighty bronzer can do all that.

And this.


Overdoing the bronzer can be disastrous – red carpet or not. Key is to dust the bronzer along the contours of your face instead of applying it all over.

Start off with a light dusting along your hairline. Follow with drawing the infallible 3 on the side of your face – Start above your temple, pull into the hollow of your cheek and out onto your jaw line. Remember the 3 - this will be your secret weapon for everything from killer cheek bones, effortless contouring to the faux glow. Follow the three with a light dusting of the bronzer on the bridge of your nose. Now without dipping your brush into your bronzer, run it along your neck – you don’t want a pale neck on your gorgeous sun kissed face!

Happy Lohri Dear

The festival hearkens as the cold peaks.

Popular conventional belief marks Makar Sankranti

as the time when the winter cold begins to lose its bite

A popular Punjabi saying goes

"Magh tilo til wadhe, tan Phaggan goda kadde"

From the month of Magh (marked by Makar sankranti on

14th January every year (This year on 15th)), the

days begin

to lengthen in the measure of a til (sesame seed), while

by the time the next month (Phagun) arrives mid february,

the days begin to acquire lengthening by the measure of a knee length.

Its a Punjabi rhetoric way of putting things.

Don't bother yourself over trying to make sense of it

We Punjabis are like that only

Lohri is the festival,

dedicated to the Fire God Agni,

that precedes this Month of Magh by a day and generally

is taken to fall on 13th January every year (this year too).

Festivals all over the world, also serve to mark the passage of time

and seasons, in addition to the celebration of Life in all its colours.

Lohri has the theme of providing succour and bringing joy and cheer

in winter, to offset the proverbial discontent that sets in places that

experience it in extreme.

Whether myths are based in facts or an attempt to preserve sanity,

Lohri

also has a romantic angle to it aka Robin Hoodesque of its

main character Dhulla Bhatti, a notorious dacoit,

who had the proverbial heart of gold that beat

for the downtrodden and the weak.

Having rescued girls from the clutches of zamindars

and other "Nobles"

He adopted them as his daughters and found suitable grooms

for them all when non would have them as they considered them

as sullied by lusts of the rich.

Impromptu were the celebrations and the marriage

that was conducted even as no priest would conduct the ceremony,

Dhulla Bhatti played the role of priest and married off the girls

himself to suitable

grooms.

The song that emerged from this impromptu celebration

is now sung all over Punjab when the young men go from house

to house to collect donations for lighting the bonfire and

distributing sweets made of sesame seeds and jaggery

(revdi, gachak) etc, while singing Dhulla Bhatti's song.

The celebrations acquire much more intensiy and gusto

if there has been a marriage celebration in the house

within the preceding year.

Here's the song that is sung

I wish a very Happy Lohri.

May the fires of Lohri burn away your flaws and

illuminate your Life

with the Blessings of the Divine Goodness

I'm sorry I ever let you go

This heart of mine would surely die

And my body would wither by and by

But my love for you will go on and on.

Yes, it will still be there after I`m gone.

You will feel me on the soft gentle breeze

As you wander through the tall forest trees.

I will be on the beach as the tide comes in

That will remind you how easy my heart was to win.

You will go about your work and play

And remember how you loved me one day.

Love is so strong, the heart is weak.

The tears will flow, the eyes will leak.

No, I never wanted to go away.

But without your love no reason to stay.

Even if you took your love from me

I would forever in your heart be.

The angels will come and sing you a song

They will tell you how I'm getting along.

They will whisper about my love for you

And let you know my heart is being true.

So, if that time

should ever come to be

And you say, "I'll love you again," you will see

The mountains, beaches and meadows will know.

As you shout, "I'm sorry I ever let you go."

I'm with you...

I'm Standing on a bridge
I'm waitin in the dark
I thought that you'd be here by now
There's nothing but the rain
No footsteps on the ground
I'm listening but there's no sound

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't someone please take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you
take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I'm, I'm with you

I'm looking for a place
searching for a face
is there anybody here i know
cause nothings going right
and everythings a mess
and no one likes to be alone

Isn't anyone tryin to find me?
Won't someone please take me home
It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I'm, I'm with you





oh why is everything so confusing
maybe I'm just out of my mind
yea yea yea yeeaaaahhh

It's a damn cold night
Trying to figure out this life
Wont you take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I'm, I'm with you

Take me by the hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I'm, I'm with you
I'm with you

Take me by the
hand
take me somewhere new
I don't know who you are
but I'm, I'm with you
I'm with you
I'm with you...
