One of the buzz around Delhi these days is the IITF 2010. Held every year at Pragati Maidaan New Delhi, the fair offers a chance to domestic as well as international businesses to display their products and services with a particular theme. This year's theme is 'Clean and Energy Efficient Technology Products'.

So got a chance to visit the fair last week when hubby got passes from one of his colleagues. It was a exciting as well as disappointing experience. At starting the whole enjoyment was ruined by unseasonal rainfall. Where some of the state pavilions had nothing to display, others had much to show. Visited Delhi, Haryana, J&K, Punjab, Gujarat, Rajasthan, U.P., A.P. and International partners pavilions. Most of the pavilions had same clothes, jewelery and household items. Bought some household things, floor mat from Rajasthan, vase, artificial flowers and a hand bag from Thailand and a bed sheet from Pakistan. Pakistani stalls were flooded with beautiful hand embroidered bed sheets, bed covers, dupattas, ladies suits and men's wear. International player's pavilions had more to offer as compared to domestic ones which was also the reason behind more crowd there.

During our schooldays there was a charm for visiting Trade fair every year and we had one day school trips to trade fair also but nowadays the fair is loosing its appeal. May be its due to a difference in thinking being a school kid and a grown up adult.

Back After A Long Time

Dear All

So I am back today on my almost lost blog after almost one year. Now I will try my best to keep it updated. In this one year life saw many ups and downs. A new life after marriage, new relations, new people, new job and new place of living along with some pains, sorrows and worries..all in all the year passed with mixed feelings.

Now when every thing seems to be settled and I can pull out some free time, I thought of making my blog alive again with a new theme and excitement.

Will catch you guys soon with some interesting story soon.

Till then take care.... :)

Remembering M.J.

Michael Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009)

It is the King Of Pop Michael Jackson's Birthday today. Had he been alive today, he would have turned 51 years old.

M.J was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana as the seventh child of Katherine Esther Scruse(Mother) and Joseph Walter "Joe" Jackson(Father). During his childhood days M.J. suffered from child abuse and loneliness which he revealed on some of the popular T.V. shows. M.J. showed his first sign of a hidden artist during a Christmas recital in kindergarten, after which he never look back and began performing backup vocals and dancing. It was the beginning of 'The Rising of A Star'

His bestseller albums include Off The Wall (1979), Thriller (1982), Bad (1987) , Dangerous (1991) and History (1995) for which he got many certifications and awards. He bagged 13 Grammy Awards and twice inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. His most loved songs 'Billie Jean', 'Beat It' and 'Thriller' made him the first African American artist to become an international celebrity.

Despite of various controversies, M.J's fans didn't stop listening to his songs, dancing on his beats and imitating his style with his 'Moonwalk'.

Though I am not a big fan of M.J.,yet i thought of paying a tribute to the King of Pop on his birthday as he was a man who despite of facing many ups and downs in his life, has cemented a place in our hearts forever.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY

As INDIA is going to celebrate it's 62nd INDEPENDENCE DAY on 15th August, 2009.
Here I am wishing,
Our dreams of a new tomorrow come true,
For us…Now And Always!
