Brilliant Brunette!

SAW it-- BOUGHT it--TRIED it-- LOVED it

Yup, that summarizes this post.

If  you know me (in real life i.e.) you have probably tolerated my incessant whining about my  hair.."frizzy.!!..breaking too much..!!..rough..!!"..yea.. I've had major hair woes since my "hair smoothning" wore off and obviously this rainy weather doesn't help.

I've been looking for a good shampoo for a long time. Was bored and borderline unsatisfied with the one I was using (have spoken about it here)So one day while browsing through flipkart when i saw John Frieda- Brilliant Brunette, i remembered having read good reviews about it on someone's blog. So decided to try it and placed an order.

I've used it 3-4 times now and i'm seriously happy with my decision !! :)

What it claims: Moisturizing shampoo, brings out rich multi- dimensional  brunette tones & shine
 
What it contains: Formula with crushed pearls & sweet almond oil

I'm happy with it because : hair loss has reduced tremendously !
                                         hair is shinier, softer and more manageable
                                         lathers very well ( don't require more than a coin size amount)
                                         Even with shipping, cheaper than L'Oreal Professional range (which I've been using on n off..ALSO, i was planning to switch to Kerastase..so..YAY..money saved !! :) )

What I don't like : Nothing as of now...i'm very pleased !

Available at:  flipkart, urbantouch etc.

Price: Rs. 450 ( though I got it at discounted price of Rs 380 ! *evil smile* )

Needless to say I would definitely use it again and probably purchase the conditioner too..just waiting for my L'Oreal liss Ultim to finish..


Recommend it?..YES!! :)

Do You "Like" Me?!?

Facebook is madness people. I'm a member since 2008 and it just  keeps getting worse every year. Don't get  me wrong, I love the idea of "social networking"-- being in touch with people I normally wouldn't have been and off course sharing thoughts, ideas, pictures, songs, troll-sh*t, and what not, I'm even shopping for clothes & jewelery ere !! :o. Its kool, Its become a part of life. Too big a part actually. And, thanks to smartphones we are updated ALL the time. 

I don't even wanna talk about the little needy-ness inside our already crammed up heads when it comes to posting a new post/status/photo/whatever and secretly waiting for someone to "like" it or "comment" on it. And then the disappointments..and the competition..( she's not even pretty why does she get more "likes" than me!?!?.. HAW :o ) And right now if in your mind you just said "hey, i'm not like that !" then go slap yourself..coz u have LIED. C'mon man..at least be true to yourself.. and you know, its OK..theres billions of us going through it..you're NOT alone. Though, sadly,I don't see any solution, except maybe quitting.. but who wants to do THAT right? Plus..HELLO!! its human nature to feel all this..isn't it?..I think it is.. (Yup, thats my excuse to stay..whats yours?)

Although, frankly I do admit that Its getting a bit too much now. Addiction maybe? I don't know..I'm a weakling when it comes to these things, can't shake it off too soon. I would LOVE to be one of those who think "we are too kool for FB" or "FB is just a waste of time and hence no account". Seriously man, the day I can implement that, I swear i'll be happier, ACCOMPLISHMENT you see..! But till then, I promise to complain, grumble, smile, laugh and be a bag of mixed confused emotions about yet another thing in my life.. FB..!

I hope know your in the same boat as me so share your thoughts if you feel like. 

Sigh..It was good venting...

Enjoy..

Got Any Talking Skills Call Centre Boy??

Half of this country's youth is employed in call centres.. BPO or whatever..I don't particularly care about the whole situation ( i know neither do you, so don't pretend !) except when I call somewhere and I'm put on hold by an answering machine to talk to a  "customer CARE representative".

I've always had to call either Airtel, Just Dial, Tata sky or Sony etc and needless to say people on these lines have been really nice..i say a big THANKS to their HR departments who have taken out the time to give their phone people good training sessions. Seriously, they  BREATHE courtesy ! Its  their job to "care"..or well at least to pretend to care..I'm kool even if the customer "care" dude is  pretending ..but just till the time I DON'T find out about it. Because the thing is, if I know you are pretending that means obviously you suck at your job which in turn means that you won't be able to resolve my problem..WHICH my dear call centre boy, would mean that I wasted time, money and energy on someone who is well lets say..useless!..and if that won't make me ( or any other customer) angry then I wonder what would.. :o

So well, I experienced a similar situation today. I got my laptop fixed yesterday from this very professional firm in Gurgaon, (not taking any names)...and today the the problem in my laptop recurred..so obviously I was like WTF! I called their toll free number and complained. But this idiot is answering me with HMMMs and asking really dumb question like "did you restart your computer?"..i mean.. HELLO!!..who won't!??!?!

NOT once did he say " I'm sorry for the inconvenience" or "we will resolve your problem asap" or anything of that sort.. didn't even pretend that the company he works for is responsible for distressing me..  he had totally forgotten the golden rule of sales "the customer is ALWAYS right"..instead he was blaming me for the fact that his techie screwd up my laptop further!!.. GOD!!..I HAD to gave him a good piece of my mind
(still no sorry)..then, before hanging up I casually asked him " as a representative shouldn't you atleast apologise for the inconvenience your company is causing me? " and hes lyk " OK.." and hung up !..can you imagine?!?!

well..some customer "CARE" I tell you..Basic Ps & Qs.. not so difficult!!..I'm sure he bunked all employee improvement classes & training that these BPO chaps have to go through..or maybe his supervisor was screwd up in the head to hire an idiot like him!..two words--PURELY PATHETIC!..

I didn't wanna defame the company as other people working their have not forgotten their courtesy and the service is mostly satisfactory. Do share if you've had any such experience or just have something on your mind !

Refresh & Restart

I recently got glasses  spectacles. No, I don't have to wear them all the time (thankgod) and the power is very less so its kool. I have to admit that I wasn't expecting it and well I'm not very pleased about it..who would be, right?

But anyway I decided to be positive about it and so went ahead & bought a good pair of frames which I think suits my face so hopefully it ain't that big a disaster. What has changed majorly though is my perspective about certain things ( no, pls.. not becoz of the specs !). One of them is blogging.

When I started writing this blog, I wanted to write about fashion, beauty, make-up, what I bought, where I bought it from and basically my shopping experiences. I always knew for a fact that  I have a good taste and style and  that hasn't changed ( neither the opinion nor the fact ;) ).But somehow due to time constraints and an immensely hectic schedule I just ended up writing either product reviews or something that I hadn't exactly planned on. It was interesting but somehow felt limiting at the same time.

Thus I have decided to change the name and nature of this blog. The thing is, that I wanna write about EVERYTHING..i mean seriously..just WHATEVER i feel like writing about at THAT particular moment and that can range from my daily rants, food reviews, gossip, hate stories, love stories, product reviews, Eco-friendly stuff and basically anything & everything on this planet..! And I'm not the kind who would claims to be a "fashion blogger" on the top of their page and then writes some dumb recipe or how they hated some XYZ's behaviour or whatever  ( no offence to anyone in particular). I wanna write my share of dumb recipes and random crap as ME..!..

So, finally, If u've been reading my blog before then THANK YOU. If  you plan to continue reading it, thanks again. If you don't, no hard feelings mate !..Coz you know, I write ( on this sort of a public platform) JUST for the love of writing and expressing whats going on inside my head and not to quell any inner need of recognition from other people (which believe u, me comes across in ALOT of blogger's writings). Thus, 

                  No Pressure, No Expectations and absolutely No Regret...!

Enjoy

Love
