Comments Please!

?One of the things, as a blogger, which brings a smile to my face, is a comment on a post!

Every blogger dreams of getting hundreds of comments on a post. Especially if the topic of the post is a bit controvercial or a matter of popular discussion. To see a debate starting up and people going at each other, bringing out the facts and giving their own views.
It really enhances a good post and puts the 'cherry on the icing'.

Every blogger also gets irritated with 'bot' placed comments which end up advertising some crap or point to some random link.
Then there are those 'friendly' comments which don't really mean anything yet encourage you to keep writing.
One of the best kind of comments are those which talk about the post and the impact it had on the person writing the comment. A personal story about the post so as to say. That really encourages you to keep writing!

Then you have the crazy comment posters who post as anonymous. They give their views and ask strange questions all the while not having the courage to even reveal their name! How funny is that? :)

2BHK+Bar

I have a three bedroom house with a hall and a kitchen. This would be represented as 3BHK in any real-estate advertisement or if someone were to ask me about my house.



While talking to a fellow alcoholic a thought came to my mind. Why not convert one room into a bar. That ways I can represent my house as: 2BHK + Bar!



With the night life in Delhi improving as it has been for the last few years one regularly comes across innovative and creative bar designs. There is something fascinating about the play of light on the different shapes and colours of the bottles.



Imagine lying on your bed in the darkness, with a huge bar in front of you. The interplay of light and colours! How soothing and relaxing!

The light blue of Bombay Sapphire gin, the rich earthy tones of whiskey (especially Balvenie and Black Label!). The clear glory of Vodka and the golden hues of white wine! The dark bottles of red wine and the rose hues of Rose. Then we have the wonderful creamy glint of Bailey's Irish Cream and the orange light of Cointreau!



I haven't even begun to talk about the innovative shapes and bottle styles!
