Priyanka Chopra in Agneepath

There is a real fun story behind how I saw this movie. I sauntered into Fame Adlabs on Saturday evening (the cancelled Goa vacation weekend), looking to book tickets for a Sunday movie. I was just shortlisting the movies we could watch, when this couple approached us. They had two tickets for Agneepath show, today, starting in 5 minutes, did we want them?

The tickets were Rs. 300/- a piece and tbh I wasn't sure if Agneepath was worth blowing up 600 bucks over it (think of how many Jordana blushes I can get in that money!), but then we said ok, and asked them how much did we owe them.

To my utter surprise, they refused any payment. They said they had got the tickets complimentary, and since they couldn't watch the movie, they wanted to give the tickets to someone else, so that they would not go waste!!

ATB Beauty Notes: Why you still get a tan when using sunscreens

There are many reasons why you may still be getting some tan despite diligent use of sunscreen. One likely cause is the fact that even the best of sunscreens still let some sun rays through. A high SPF number is not about better or deeper protection, but only longer protection.


High SPF numbers give the false impression they can provide enhanced protection when that is not the case. A well-formulated sunscreen with an SPF 70 still only protects your skin from about 98% of the sun’s rays. 

GlossyBox India Giveaway!

There is a lot of glossybox talk floating around the blogosphere, right? At my last count I saw at least nine operational giveaways.

Well, I’d say more the merrier. That way a lot of people have the opportunity to try it out a beauty box filled with luxury goodies.


I haven’t had much luck in the past with giveaways, though I did win one by both Cynthia & Anamika. Actually I also won one on Sonia’s blog, but I was travelling then & didn’t find out only that I had won until 2 months later. Of course by then I had forfeited the prize. I have had pretty good luck with giveaways, I've won some on WiseShe (Anamika), Indian Vanity Case (Cynthia) & recently won Beauty Traveller's (Neeraj) giveaway as well. 

Well, ATB is hosting a Glossybox giveaway too! If you don’t know what Glossybox is, read here quickly & then come back & participate.

Ok, so what do you have to do to participate in my giveaway?
