What would I do without you?

When I was hungry, you were the one who fed me
When I fell down, you were the one who held me.

When I was upset with my failure, you were the one who made me realise my potential.
When I was victorious, you were the one who celebrated my credentials.

When I hurt you unintentionally, you bore the pain without any complaint.
When I troubled you for something, you did not let me feel the same.

When things were messed up and you were torn apart, you did not let us know what is pain.
You behaved like everything was normal, Though your heart cried over and over again.

It is said that mother is a girl's best friend, you're the best one, that's true.
A minute without you is unimaginable mom, I wonder what would I do without You?

Unexpected Goodbye!

I still don't understand what went wrong,It was really good but now it's all gone.

There was a time, when we fought, played and laughed, That was the time I felt you were my other half.

You had always told "I'll never leave you, no matter what "I trusted your words so much and never gave it a second thought.

Well, it was something less than love but more than friendship, We realised it too late, I still long for that deep kinship.

You left me, when I was in a bad state without giving an explanation, I have now accepted it and respect your decision.

Our friendship will last forever, though we ain't in touch.It's really difficult to forget you, I miss you so much!

Yes! She's the best!

 

No words to describe this pretty young lady, She talks to objects and plays with a teddy.

She takes care of me like an elder sister, She'd never let me alone even if there's a twister.

She's independent and has a very sharp mind, She is just amazing, lovely and kind.

She loves shopping like every other girl, She's the best person I've ever seen in the world.

She's a great friend with kind attitude, She's very different in terms of showing gratitude.

We shall be together till our last breath, For nothing can separate us, except death.

A friendship so deep, precious and true,You are my sweetheart and I really really love you...

Colorbar cosmetics

Colorbar is a rising cosmetic brand in India. It is best for working ladies because Colorbar products are long lasting. It is a little costly when compared to other brands like Lakme, Maybelline etc. But the money spent is worth it. Lipsticks are long lasting. Mascara and Eyeliner is waterproof and makes your eyes look much prettier. ColorBar Primer must be applied soon after washing your face and before applying foundation cream, it feels very soft and fresh and helps your make up to last longer. I have purchased all the cosmetics from Colorbar and very happy with them.
