Simple Mehndi Designs From India And Veena Nagda
September 30, 2011
News worldwide – I had been looking for some simple mehndi designs from India for eid this year, when it came into my mind that who would be a better mehndi designer than Indian celebrity brides. So I had to make this search, “who designed Ashwariya Rai’s mehndi on her wedding?” Apart from this, I also made searches for Hrithik bride’s and Karishma Kapoor weddings mehndi designs.
Though, searching for their mehndi design did not mean that I will get some samples of simple mehndi designs from India but sometimes it is curiosity that makes you have these searches which do not aim at easier solutions.
To my amazement most of the mehndi designs made on celebrity weddings were of Veena Nagda. It was this lady, who was sitting with Karishma Kapoor as her mehndi designer on her weeding, and there were loads of other celebrities, who were also accompanied by her on their weddings.
So who is this lady Veena Nagda? Veena Nagda is just as common as any of their mehndi designers in India and she started her career with designing an engagement mehndi, which was her formal entrance in the Bollywood.
Now that you know that it is Veena Nagda who is the most popular mehndi designer in India, I am sure you would love to know her mehndi technique whether they are simple or not.
Here are Veena Nagda mehndi techniques:
Though, Veena Nagda herself has not said much about her Mehndi techniques in interviews but Veena Nagda has been giving mehndi classes since sometime. Veena Nagda mehndi images describe her mehndi technique as follow:
• Rich Indian culture can be seen in Veena’s Mehndi designs:
Her inspiration for applying mehndi designs are Indian culture. Though, today Arabic mehndi designs are very popular but her personal favorite has been the typical Indian designs that come from rich Indian culture.
• Using various fabric designs as Mehndi designs:
Before becoming a mehndi designer Veena Nagda was a fabric designer and it appears that the fabric designs she crafted on fabrics also have turned part of her mehndi designs.
• Significance of grip over mehndi applicator:
Veena believes that applying mehndi is not all about the mehndi design but it is more about your grip and control over the mehndi applicator. Your mehndi applicator is your pencil and you need to practice it a lot before applying it on someone’s
hand.
• The significance of “A” in Veena Magda mehndi designs:
In Veena’s mehndi designs one can see a lot of “A” related designs. She would begin her mehndi design with capital “A” shape and would divide it into several segments.
• Other preferred shapes in Mehndi designs:
She has been use heart shape and round floral designs inside the “A”. There is a lot you can do one the highlights are done on the hand, says Veena. You can talk about the design with your client before beginning so that you can have a general idea what not to do, which is more important than what to do in a Mehndi design.
• How Veena designs both hands?
She has preferred to make the same deign on both hands most of the time as it creates a beautiful look but requires a lot of balance and control.
• Spacing in a mehndi design should be watched:
Veena believes that spacing the design is another very important aspect of mehndi application. She also said that while applying mehndi design you need to be happy as it has an impact on what you are drawing. Copyright ©

The tweet confirms that she has been following the manslaughter trial of Dr. Conrad Murray. The Trail is taking place in Los Angeles. Prosecutors charged Murray responsible for the death of Jackson in 2009. Murray was the personal physician of Michael Jackson.

She also said that Bugliari, an agent at CAA, was helping her. “The other day David was carrying him in a BabyBjorn while making work phone calls! It was so sweet and beautiful.

You have so much to talk and tell about him/her all the time. In recent times we have observed that celebrities have started to give significance to their personal lives despite being professional and it is all because of extraordinary media exposure, where you no more need to hide things and facts about your personal life and rather talking about them makes you popular as every news is good news for media.

Judaism — Ezekiel’s calling
September 29, 2011
Judaism – I heard the voice of God saying: `Mortal man, stand up. I wish to speak to you.’ As the voice spoke, the Spirit of the Lord entered me, and raised me to my feet; and I could hear clearly.
`Mortal man,’ the voice of God continued,`I am sending you to the people of Israel. They have rebelled against me, turning their backs on me; and they are still rebelling, just as their ancestors did. They are stubborn and hardhearted. So you will tell them what I, the sovereign Lord, am saying to them. Whether they listen or refuse to listen, they will know that a prophet has been among them. `You, mortal man, must not be afraid of them, or of anything they say.
They will defy and despise you. You will feel as though you are walking through briars and thorns; you will feel as though you are living among scorpions. But do not be afraid of these rebels, or of anything they say. You must speak my words to them, whether they listen or refuse to listen. Remember that they are rebels. Mortal man, listen to everything I say; do not be a rebel yourself.’
Judaism – Bad shepherds and the good shepherd
The Lord spoke through me to the rulers of Israel, the shepherds of his people: You take care of yourselves, but you never tend the sheep. You drink their milk, you wear clothes made from their wool, and you kill those who antagonize you.
You show no love or compassion for them. You do not protect those who are weak; you do not heal those who are sick; you do not bandage those who are hurt; you do not search for those who have wandered from my way; and you do not guide those who are lost. Instead, you treat them cruelly. And for this reason they have been scattered from their land, and predators have attacked them. They have dispersed across the face of the earth, and no one is seeking them.
‘So I myself, the sovereign Lord, will find my sheep, and tend them. As a shepherd gathers his sheep together, so I shall
gather together my people from the places where they have gone. I shall guide those who are lost, bring back those who
have wandered from my way, bandage those who are hurt, and heal those who are sick. But those who are fat and sleek,
I shall destroy. I am a shepherd who always acts justly.’

News Worldwide – If you are one of those who have been looking and asking when is Columbus Day all these years; here is the answer, formula and solution for your question. Columbus Day is celebrated on second Monday of every October. This is Columbus day will fall on October 10th 2011.
Now some more information on Columbus Day:
Is the Post Office Open on Columbus Day?
I just found that many people have been searching if the post office would be open on Columbus Day? No, the post office is not open on Columbus Day. Columbus Day is a national holiday in United States and thus the Post Office is not even operating on this day.
People who ask the question about if the Post Office is open on Columbus Day is based on two reasons. One, they would be employ at the Post Office and would want to learn if the Post Office will give them a break on Columbus day so they may avail the Columbus day sale opportunities and a day off after Sunday and secondly, the people who would have been waiting for some delivery on this particular day of October may also want to know if the Post Office is open or not.

What can prevent which disease or disorder in day to day life!!!
September 27, 2011
News Worldwide – You would have come across many articles online that state, “recently a research has shown that …. may prevent ……..:. Every time these blanks are filled with different things and diseases names. Just a while back, I read news on BBC that said that “coffee may reduce depression”. So, I decided to make a list of all those ingredients that have been published as helping in preventing some disease. Here they are:
Chocolate: Chocolate is one of the most researched elements and each time we hear and read a news thing about chocolate which goes like this:
• Chocolate may help in preventing stroke. This research was based on the fact that those people who have been eating chocolate were 22 per cent less expected to have a stroke than those that did not.
• Dark Chocolate helps in maintain a healthy skin: This post was a bit shocking for many as it talks about something no one ever believed. According to prior believe many assumed that dark chocolate was reason for acne but this latest research said that it would keep your skin healthy and youthful. This research based its supporting argument on chocolate ingredients which are Cocoa Beans. These beans are the best source of antioxidants and cocoa butter is also extracted from the cocoa bean which is very healthy and advantageous for the skin. It works as a good and natural skin moisturizer.
• Eating chocolate during pregnancy may help prevent pre-eclampsia in infants: This research has based its argument on the fact that women that ate chocolate at least five times a week were 40 percent less probable to advance the condition than those that ate it less than once a week.
• Chocolate May help prevent headaches: The writer of this post based its argument on the fact that sometimes chocolate eating turns into an addiction and if you have this addiction, you will find that chocolate does help in preventing headaches.
• Chocolate may help prevent cancer: Another interesting article said that chocolate may even hep in preventing cancer. And this was not it; the writer even added that chocolate may even help in preventing depression and heart diseases. The argument used in this post was based on the chocolate ingredient that has antioxidants.
• Chocolate may help in preventing dental decay: This was a very interesting article which again goes against our common believes. The fact on which this research study was based was “polyphenols in chocolate turns off an enzyme responsible for converting sugar into polysaccharoses in the mouth. Polysaccharose is the binding agent that causes dental plaque to attach to the teeth.” So next time your kids will have all the reason to eat another chocolate.
Constipation: The second thing that I found on internet talking about preventing a disease though research study was
constipation. Following were things that may prevent constipation said research studies.
Water, exercise, proper meals, certain fruits like apple, folic acid, Aloe Vera juice, ginger tea, Yerba mate in tea and regular washroom routine.
Ginger: according to several research studies, ginger may help in preventing sea sickness or treating headaches, stomach disorders and coughs. Ginger is also said to help in preventing certain forms of cancer.
Preventing Aging: There are a number of reports and research papers available online that share how aging can be prevented or what may help in preventing aging? Some of them are ad follow:
• Antioxidants defend the body from the damaging implications of by-products thus help in preventing or slowing down the process of aging.
• Calorie Restriction, Intermittent Fasting, and Resveratrol are next that help in reducing ageing pace.
• Another article says Avocado is very high in vitamin E that is important for glowing skin and shining hair. It also keeps wrinkles off the face. While the same article has a list of other things that may also help in preventing aging such as berries that very rich in vitamin C and thus useful to the body. Green vegetables, ginger, nuts, yogurt, whole wheat pasta and brown, melons and last but not the least lots of water will help in preventing ageing.
So this is for now. I hope you would enjoyed the latest research studies that talk so much about thing we eat and use in our daily lives and that can help us prevent many complications and diseases. Copyright © 2011

International Relations and Career – What International Relations students have to say!
September 27, 2011
News Worldwide – When a student opts for a major degree; like International Relations major, he/she is also looking for a career. Though, in country like Pakistan many Master degrees do not ensure a career oriented jobs, yet being a student of International Relations I know many want to learn what particular and specific jobs are available in Pakistan for International relation Master’s degree? Therefore, I asked this question from Miss Nasreen Ghufran, who is one of the most senior person in department of International Relations, University of Peshawar. I posted this question on facebook dept. of International Relations page and soon saw an overwhelming response as many wanted to know about “International Relations and Career”.
International Relations
One student from the department said that there was nothing in particular for IR students in terms of recognized career. Moreover, the student also mentioned that they would only think of lecturer ship post after completing their International Relations Master’s degree. Other said, “we can go for non-governmental organizations as today International Relations is recognized as a social science and one can find a big number of jobs that are offered to social science graduates.”
Another IR graduate seemed desperate as he said that we need to begin our business after this degree. While Ihsan Khan said, “Some years ago biggest jobs for being IR Master Holder were to leave this country as soon as possible.”
And as soon as we got Miss Nasreen Ghufran on the page, she made her comments, “our students have gone to diverse fields- civil service, ngo’s, teaching, banks, media, think tanks etc. Depending how enterprising the student is. You have to be competitive and good enough to get a place for yourself in a field which you desire. Some of my students have ended up in armed forces others have gone to public relation officers. So in my opinion the field is wide open the only thing is that you need to be equally good to play it well in the arena of jobs.”
Then, I had to state,” I asked this question because many ask the same question when you tell them your MA IR. But I will like to add and suggest that not everyone should be allowed to choose this subject at Masters Level when they do not have the background at Bachelors or intermediate level. It must be a subject by choice and not where fate took them after bachelors. The department must not become the abode of students obtaining lower percentages rather than the merit should be fixed for not less than 75% It will be then that the real outcome of this awesome subject will be applicable in favor of Pakistan. Most probably, then we will also have specialized vacancies.
Nasreen Ghufran added, “I agree with you on that most of the students don’t take it by choice that is why they have problems later on and are not interested. However, we now have a bachelors program which lays down the basis for doing their masters, so things are improving and i have noticed that along with some few lazy and disinterested students there are those who are really bright and take interest in the subject. So I remain optimistic.”
Wali Afridi Ilyas said, “I do not agree with the above discussion. So what should be the criteria for getting admission in Master? Everyone knows about the present one. Admission form with 1st, 2nd, 3rd priorities…etc…”
Tasawar Baig said, “First, if someone is excellent in International Relations he / she has no match…I bet there is great rise….if below standard…then position is nowhere…..Since my first masters in IR was from Karachi University and I know many of KU .IR graduates as Ambassadors, CEO Liver Brothers…leading Multinational was an IR graduate, now in recent years…Media and NGOs become new opportunities for IR graduates….as couple of years back one has to focus with limited field…..Best wishes…..and be Excellent…The rise is YOURs!”
Another student Abid Shehzad said, “If some is graduated in IR and unable to get a promising job in Pakistan or elsewhere then it is the shortcoming of the student whether his disinterest or pessimistic approach to this discipline.” Shakeel Azam Awan added, “It is a matter of perception. International Relations is powerful discipline. It always depends upon aspirant how far one is excellent in exposing the talent in the fitness of things. The best cannot be ignored.”
And thus I had to conclude, “International Relations major as a subject is not having specialized jobs. The way medical students become doctors and engineer students become engineers, IR students are supposed to become diplomats, think tanks, pressure groups, diplomatic policy makers, foreign policy makers etc. The degree should be a secured one just like medical and engineering and this is only possible if the most eligible students are studying the subject while government should reserve such job positions for this degree. I also want to add here that every job should be provided on merit and educational background. Unlike what is happening since long that they get MA degree of Botany and get jobs in Ministry of defense.”
“The entire process should be automatic. Every subject should have specialized field. just the way it happens in other developed countries. If we cannot work on all of them, being IR students we should at least do something about this discipline for now.”

Google celebrates its 13th birthday by changing Google doodle picture
September 27, 2011
News Worldwide – So it is not only me on earth who is celebrating today. It is my 8th wedding anniversary today and as soon as I got online I saw Google doodle new picture. Well, the picture does display a cake and Google wearing those cute birthday hats on letter “g, o and another g” of Google. I actually did not count the candles on cake but it appears that they must be 13. 
This Google doodle picture does seem like animated like all other Google doodle pictures but, the cake seems to be real. I wonder if Google is actually having this cake on its 13th birthday.
I also want to add here that even today, I am younger than Google as I am celebrating my 8th wedding anniversary and it seems like I have been with this hubby of mine since ever. Same is what millions of Google users feel about Google. It is just 13th birthday but it feels like Google has been with us since all the time.
Just like our life partners, Google has been with us in hard and happy times. It has given us some tough times too in shape of hackings, software malfunctions and more but one cannot forget that it is also the one who has given us access to the world by a single click of button.
I do not know how Google competitors think or rank Google on its 13th birthday, but if you ask me, I have found it a way of life infact I keep telling my friends that I cannot live with it. Happy Birthday Google. Copyright © 2011
