Take Care!! :)

Watched Fury, absolutely Enjoyed it!! :)

I love action movies - especially war & military stories and I would say "Fury" is a good film!! :) It is a 1945 World War II story of a team of 5 American guys who are in Germany - fighting to survive the war.

In war/action movies, I really love the use of heavy weapons - anti-aircraft machine guns and tanks are the best. You feel the adrenaline pumping in your blood - you'll wanna join the Army to serve your country - well, personally I don't encourage war or destruction but I'd defo like to fire a few shots with those cool machine guns!!!

As a teenager, I always had that desire to join The Indian Army or The Indian AirForce and become a Colonel/Major General/Air Marshal someday. I tried a lot to convince my parents after I finished college that it would be a proud profession to take up - but it was a "Huge No No" from both my Mum and Dad cause they said I was their only son and they will never take that risk and wanted me to choose a safer profession.

There's a lot to share, so I'll write a separate post sometime on my list of favourite war movies and favourite machine guns I love since childhood.

Normally on Wednesdays we(colleagues from BMW) go to watch films at Vue Cinema, Oxford which is at the Ozone Leisure park by the Kassam Stadium, close to the BMW Plant Oxford.

Want to know why Wednesdays? Check this EE offer link - And our company phone network is EE. Some of us have our personal phone networks are EE and Orange. I use EE on both office and personal phones.

Well, we get 2 tickets for the price of 1 and it's really worth it when you are a group of 8 people going together to watch movies.

Since long, we've been waiting for Brad Pitt's "Fury" and finally we watched it yesterday!! :)

Do you know this film was primarily shot here in England - Hertfordshire and Oxford. 

I love tanks and one of the outstanding tanks ever built, the Tiger 131 tank was used in this film. And of course the Sherman tank is the Hero's tank.

If you are a war movie lover, then Fury is for you - it is a memorable movie - the military uniform colours, flavour of  guts, strength, courage and weapons!!

Two of my favourite machine guns were used in this movie:

1. The Browning .50 Caliber Machine Gun

2. The Browning M1919 Machine Gun

Machine guns definitely separate the true men from the boys - watch this video, you'll love the evolution of the sexy beast --> M2 Browning .50 Cal

Weekend is almost here, have a great Friday my dear friends!! :)

Cheers,

Charan :)

Really Inspiring Commercials!! :)

Here are a coupla inspiring commercials, even if you've watched them before, they're definitely worth watching once again! :) 

Ripple!!

La Redoute UK - ‘The Language of Love’:

The commercial says: 

What if someone told you how they truly felt?

If they took a moment to open up, if they spoke unspoken words…if they told you how much they loved you?

We gave a few people the chance to do just that, with a little bit of French style…courtesy of Mr. La Redoute.

La Redoute presents ‘The Language of Love’. 

Have a great day!! :)

Cheers!! :)

Does the Beauty of a Girl lie in her Physical Attributes?

Does the beauty of a girl lie only in her physical attributes? 

I would say, 'NO' .

When I say beauty, do I mean - a sexy figure, great looks, fancy clothes?

Nah! Beauty of a woman lies in her heart, if she has a beautiful heart, she is beautiful everywhere.

If a man truly loves a woman, his feelings are made of non-sexual intimacy born out of pure affection rather than simple lust or desire, creating a softer show of attachment. It is more like, "I love you, but not in a lusty way".

Look at the below picture and tell me which rose is more beautiful than the other?

They all look similar, don't they?

The same goes with women - Every girl is beautiful in her own way. She is perfect being her own self - being unique is special.

The term 'beauty' is universal for women - they are all beautiful, no matter which colour, shape or size - it all depends on what is in their inner self - the heart and soul.

A gentleman would never judge a girl based on her looks or shapes - he will look into her heart and will love her soul.

If you are a man reading this post then here's a tip for you - every girl is a sacred flower, you need to touch her in a way that energizes the beauty within her to allow her to blossom with happiness.

What you need to actually look for in a girl:

• Personality 
• Smile
• Kindness
• Attitude 
• Patience
• Her ability to laugh
• How caring she is

When it comes to my future girlfriend, I'll love her for who she really is and accept her completely - all her positives and negatives. I'll show her that I love her at all times because no matter how long we've been together, I'll still treat her like I'm trying to win her. Everything else will fall into place. I will never cheat/play/hurt her in any way, I will treasure and protect her in the haven of my heart.

Finally, here are some feel-good commercials that make me think of the girl I admire:

I hope you didn't forget to set your clocks 1 hour back!! And make sure you wake up an hour late ;)

Have a Beautiful Sunday!!! 

Cheers!!!

I Love my iPad Air 2!!! :)

Wooohoooooo!!!! I'm so excited and happy - got my new iPad Air 2 delivered today and started exploring it - installed some really wonderful apps and love using it. Glad to receive it today on the occasion of Diwali festival :) 

Thinner, Lighter, more Powerful :)

Started writing this blog post from my new iPad :) This is the first time I've bought an apple product in my life and I wonder why didn't I buy one earlier? I did miss such amazing stuff all these years, I started to love apple products, I've become a fan of apple! :) 

I eagerly waited for this release since a coupla months and finally ordered my iPad Air 2 online from the apple store after it's release, mine is Space Grey coloured, Wi-fi only with 16 GB memory. Also ordered the iPad Air 2 Smart Cover from apple and it just fits in so well with the iPad.

You must've already checked it's features, if not, then have a look at this link - iPad Air 2 

So, now that I've discovered my hidden passion for apple products, next on my list to buy is:  

iPhone 6 - planning to buy it for Christmas!! :)

And my future dream wishlist  is below, I know the list will keep changing with new product releases but for now, below are what I'd love to own:

15-inch MacBook Pro with Retina display

iMac 27-inch: 3.5GHz with Retina 5K display
Apple watch (when it gets released in 2015)

And ofcourse, anything that is made by apple ;)

Without a doubt, I can say that iPad Air 2 is a sexy gadget, you'll love the super performance of the A8X chip with 64-bit architecture and M8 motion co-processor, beautiful colourful visuals by the fully laminated retina display and great music - packed in such slim and light tablet :)

So, finally I've become a part of the ' i-family ' or the iPad family for now, will soon become part of the iPhone family too!! :)

Adding to apple's promotions, I'd say, "iPad Air 2 - Change is definitely in the Air!!"

Have a great Friday Folks!!! :)

I'm Gonna Sing like this with my Future Daughter ;)

After a decade from now, I'll probably have a daughter of my own, so I'll visit back this blog post and will tell my lil one - how I used to dream of her, imagine her singing with me and how I prayed for her to come as a blessing into my life :)

Just like to share a beautiful video which I first saw few months ago on facebook - "This Is What Happens When A Man Becomes a Father".

I love all that is said in the above video, but my most favourite line is:

"You taught me....that my heart could exist outside my body and I could hold it in my arms".

And every time I watch the below videos or similar ones, I somehow know for sure that in future, I'm gonna sing exactly like this with my sweet lil daughter! Sometimes in life you can just picture certain things happening - well, why not? My lil girl would sing while I play the guitar just like in the below video :)

And this one's good too:

Real men are very caring and patient with their kids, they don't see it as an entirely woman's job. That's why real men make the most coolest dads!! Check the short film below which shows that a man working from home or who is a freelancer can definitely attend to, care for and give enough love to his baby. 

Finally a cute video of how excited this baby girl is when her Dad comes home:

In future, when I'll be blessed with a daughter of my own, I'd do everything with her - sing, dance, love and laugh - she'd be a daddy's girl!!! And yes, just like singing, I'd motivate her to dance too without being shy.

Personally, I love watching professional ballet dancers perform, it is a very graceful and inspiring form of art, so I'll introduce my lil girl to ballet dance and if she loves it, will encourage her in it, else there are many other dances to learn and many more songs to sing - I'll give her full freedom cause the world has unlimited opportunities to explore :)

She'll have the best daddy ever in the whole wide world!! ;)

Have a nice evening!! :)

Cheers!! :)

Treasure the Real People in your Life...

What do I mean by a real person?

A person who is true to his word, genuine in his actions, earthly in his attitude, honest in his behavior, kind in his thought and generous in his help - overall, a good Samaritan.

Picture Courtesy: mirror.co

Yes, real people are very straightforward in living, they don't lie/cheat others, are not hypocritical, they value and respect family, friendships and relationships.

In the end, a real person will stand by you, even when the fun is gone and life gets rough.

We all should be proud of being real that will turn a good example to some of the self-centered filthily rich people who live for their image in the society and never for their true selves.

I feel proud to be a real person, you should be proud too cause you are completely real and always keep up the good work of helping others. Basically, we are all real - it's just that some people forget that.

And never let go off a real person in your life, yes, even I won't let go of all the real people in my life. Trust me, compared with money/fame - real people are the real treasure of this world!! And start making your generosity contagious to everyone around you!! :)

In the below video, you'll find a couple of examples of real people with a kind heart:

And some of them in the below video:

Have a lovely weekend my dear real people!! :) Relax and Enjoy!!  

Cheers,

Charan xx

How do you treat your Girl?

This post is a sequel to Poem: Do you know how to love your girl?

Photo Courtesy: Internet

1) Respect her, value her, understand her

2) Say 'I love you' and mean it

3) Hold her hand when you are walking next to each other, watching movies, or just talking

4) Compliment her - you are only being honest on how beautiful she really is

5) Gently hug her from behind and patiently listen to all her stories

6) Don't force her to do anything - always give her the freedom to fly like a free bird in bright blue sky

7) Never hurt her, if you accidentally do, apologise first and then unhurt by making her laugh

8) While standing together, wrap your arm around her

9) Write cute little notes for her and leave them as a surprise for her to discover and smile at

10) Kiss her forehead and cuddle with her

11) Keep your word - if you say you gonna do it, then do it, don't ever disappoint her 

12) When you hug her, hold her in your arms as long as possible, let her relax in your care

13) Carefully brush the hair out of her eyes 

14) Comfort her when she cries, reassure her that everythings gonna be alright and be her pillar of strength.


If you can do the above 14 things for her, then you surely know how to treat your girl right!! She's a princess, never forget that!!

Happy Friday!!! :) Cheers!! :)

WooHoo...It's Friday!!! ;)

Real Thoughts! :)

The Cricket Season for 2014 has come to an end, we had a great party yesterday night at Gurkha Village Kidlington - to celebrate the matches we won for our club this season! We had few drinks followed by dinner - the food was so delicious, starters were yummy, curries were excellent with naan and rice :) Really had a wonderful time with all the people - teammates, captains, manager, umpires, etc

It was a fantastic cricket season, I really enjoyed the games, so that's cricket finished for now, no matches until next summer, so it's time for me to get back to enjoying singing and music!! :)

Here are five quotes that are so true, they speak about genuine feelings and real thoughts on life and love...hope you'll find them a nice read...

Chillax! :)

Forget all your worries, be freeee...........n enjoy life.............

Thank God It's Friday!! :) Chill out and relax, jus Chillax!!! ;)

Enjoy your weekend!!!!

Bundles of Love :)

This post is a sequel to Biting Baby Cheeks :)

Toddlers are big bundles of love, we all have experiences playing with toddlers, cuddling them, kissing them, hugging and of course biting their cheeks!! ;)

Photo Courtesy: Internet

In this post, I'd like to share some photos of me cuddling a toddler. I love toddlers and whenever I hug and cuddle them it gives me immense pleasure and joy. There is a lot you learn when you hold a kid. 

Below are some pictures of Hrithvik, who is the son of Bhasker and Saritha. They live in Oxford and they are my family friends. Hrithvik's nickname is "Duggu" :) Here are some photos of them 3 together :)

The photos below can be viewed as a slide show or in their original size by clicking on them.

Bhasker, Duggu and Saritha

The Family

When you take a little one into your hands from their parents(their mom/dad), you hold them gentle, tender, care for them and even if you had a busy day, you forget all the stress and generously give affection :) 

Here are some photos of me holding Duggu at his home :)

In the above photo, you can notice how I touched his cheek with mine, do you know something? I had already bitten those fat baby cheeks enough by then and he bit back too, not on my cheeks but you can notice how my t-shirt is wet on the shoulder. While I was standing, I held him onto my shoulder and he started to bite my shoulder, his teeth dug through my t-shirt easily but his milky teeth did no harm to my shoulder muscles no matter how much he tried :)

When cheeks are yummy, they beg you for kisses and bites and I bit his cheeks sufficiently ;) You already know how much I love biting, read it here if you don't know - Biting Baby Cheeks :)

Also, you can notice in the above photo how long my fingers are! Thanks to my paternal genes, I've inherited my height(I'm 6 foot tall) and big hands and big feet(my foot size is 11) from my paternal ancestors. Only people who have big palms and long fingers understand the great advantage of having them - you can grip things firmly or swing/spin the cricket ball when you do bowling in cricket or hold the cricket bat with more grip and strength - that helps to hit the ball hard while batting and helps well in fielding as well :)

And most importantly, you can notice how easy it is to hold a baby or toddler with full strong grip but gently and comfortably at the same time.

I give Duggu lots of love through my cuddles and he gives back the same love and spends time with me whenever I visit them on some weekends.

Ok, now let us get back to the theme of this post - yes, it's about the innocent, honest and unconditional love that we all receive from toddlers - it need not be your own children, it can be any toddler - as long as you keep them comfy, gentle, safe and warm in your hands, they will enjoy your company and don't mind if you take a few bites, you know what I mean lol ;)

My experiences of cuddling toddlers: 

I bite their cheeks and surprisingly, most often they'd love it too

I blow a raspberry on their soft tummy and they laugh their heart out

My cuddle expresses my love for them 

On a rainy or a cold day, it gives their little body warmth from my heart 

It calms them down from getting too excited about anything

It makes them feel safe to be held in trusted hands

It makes them smile and giggle which are the best thing to see on a baby's face :) 

I'm not in a hurry to have my own children, there is a long long time for that to happen but I will always take a chance to give a cuddle to every toddler I come across!!! :) Eventually, some day when I become a dad, I'll be the COOLEST DAD EVER!!!! ;) Will teach my babies to dance like the baby in the below video:

Don't forget to share your own experiences of cuddling toddlers!!  Cheers!!! :)
