Shampoo vs conditioner

 What's with these companies that make Shampoo and conditioner? - truly exasperating.

So imagine this scene . 

I am having a bath ( now don't over imagine). There is water streaming in my eyes. The toilet is steamy ,as I like the water hot. It's like a steam room in there. 

I then decide that I need to shampoo my hair. 

There are a few shampoo and conditioner bottles for me to choose from.

However, these manufacturers ensure that the words ' Shampoo' & ' Conditioner ' are never printed in bold print. They are in a small indecipherable print and the lightest shade possible.

So here am I in a steamy toilet, obviously not wearing spectacles- don't forget the water - squinting to read whether it's shampoo or conditioner.

It's next to impossible.

Often I lather in conditioner first. Then, realising the blunder, I rinse it out and attempt to use another bottle. If I am lucky it's shampoo. Then back to conditioner again.

Can they not print the words clearly? 

So irritating . 

It's even worse in hotels. 

There are 3 bottles in a line. Same size and same colour.

One is shampoo, one is conditioner and the third - shower gel. 

If that's not confusing then what is - especially when you are rushing to get ready for a meeting !

An exotic recepie

 How did I never hear of this before. It's easy and will save you money every month. 

Above all, it's quick , easy and anyone can make it 

Take 3 spoons of sugar. 

1 spoon of baking soda

6 red chillies.

A pinch of talcum powder

A half spoon turmeric

2 cloves 

A half cup balsamic vinegar

2 table spoons honey

2 table spoons brandy.

2 pods of garlic 

And a cup of milk.

Put in a pan and boil on a slow fire for 10 minutes . Keep stirring clockwise. 

You will see the mixture turning frothy and thickening. 

Add a dash of mustard .

This will cause it to rise abruptly so be careful .

Strain through a muslin cloth .

Cool down.

Put in the fridge till cold.

Then add nut meg and 2 teaspoonful of vanilla essence.

You will now have a creamy paste.

Next get a sheet of aluminium foil and spread evenly over - use a large plate.

Now freeze .

Not sure what you will do with this 

If you have read till here you know precious little about cooking , baking or whatever.

A romantic rendezvous

 Early morning on Juhu Beach

This cute young couple

All giggly and in their twenties

Obviously came for a morning rendezvous. 

They spread their little mat on the beach

It was flowery and rather pretty.

Their carry bag with a few packets 

Of some savoury items was unloaded

Off his back.

From her purse she produced 

A bottle of Sprite

Which she then gingerly poured

Into two plastic glasses.

She offered him one 

And they both sipped simultaneously. 

He slipped an arm round her slender shoulders and she snuggled closer

Resting  her head on the side of his arm

I looked at them and smiled

So did another elderly couple passing bye.

The gentle waves danced around their feet

Love was in the air.

Then out of nowhere 

Like a bolt from the blue

A football came zooming in

Probably intentional

Because that's how many loving couples

Are told not to become

Too comfortable or too romantic

In these areas!

The ball hit him on the back of his head.

The glass flew from his hand 

Spilling the liquid over her pretty pink outfit.

He got a bad knock 

And collapsed in a heap

But being the man of the moment

He jumped up

Dusted himself off

And looked angrily around for the culprit.

About fifteen urchins sniggered back at him.

Their arrogance and defiance 

Was palpable.

I expected a confrontation. 

However...

Allowing her to be the better judge 

They packed up and walked away 

A trifle embarrassed

I felt for them

For their innocence 

And their budding love life.

Thus ended their romance for the day. 

What a morning !
