As promised...

Ok guys, as promised here's a quick, short and sweet entry about my trip to India! I have been India twice this year and both times, my stupidity and immaturness did not run out. However, reagrding my latest visit, here are just a few things which are supposed to make you smile, in chronological order.
1) Well since I was with @ThePrashantRaja, things were supposed to be fun and out of order. So as we got to the airport, on time, as always, we chilled. In fact, we chilled so much, we almost missed our flight!!! As with every single plane situation, yes we were sat amongst weirdos, fattys, nerds, and basic psychos.

So as if coming to terms with spending 10hrs with psychopaths wasn't enough, the universe decides to challenge us more when we realised that our plane lacked TV's! Whaaaaaa?? NO TV? TV is a basic human right. So at this moment I was already in tears and we had not even left Britain.

Being wide awake for 10hours, with minimal edible food we reached the gorgeous and cold frankfurt! And no, we did not get a friendly welcome.

Touchdown mumbai!!!!! Whooo. The tingles that city gives me is unreal. I love mumbai airport, how theres always a crowd as soon as you walk out.. Paps paps paps!! Me and @ThePrashantRaja then made our own ways...

During my time in India, I did some work experience at a hospital, during the 10days where I was alone working, this happened: 1) I stepped in a dump. 2) I almost fell off the rickshaw. 3)I sat on a moped, to be fair, I do not know why I am still living. 4) I lived on cheese toast for 10 entire days. 5) I fainted, thankfully I was at the hospital. 6) I orderd chilli toast, which came with more chillies than there are people on the planet. 7) Caught an ear infection. 8) Got knocked by a cow. 9) Drowned in the rain, literally swam to my work experience. &; 10) Got mauled by mosquitos.

Despite all that happened, I LOVE INDIA. I love it so so much. Theres just something about that country that gets you the tingles, am I right?

Prashant then came to get me, and togather we returned to mumbai! By this time, we were severely homesick, tired, and most of all EXCITED!

Reaching mumbai was funnnaaayyyy!!! Heres what happened.. tooo much happened so going to cut it down into short!
1) We were at the SAHARA STAR!
2) Prashant then bumps into Anil Kapoor and told him to "watch it" without realising who it was obvsos...so awks.
3) Nearly got raped by the taxi driver on the way back from pizza hut
4) Went to watch Harry Potter, and we both fell asleep watching it. (damn indian cinema's are heavenly)
5) Nearly flew out the rickshaw cause it was so fast. Michael Schumacker in disguise, i bet you!

AND how could I forget, Prashant got somebody fired!!! Hahah!

Anyway, I best be off! But what I wanted to achieve in this post was that INDIA is incredible. I love it so much. A part of me is always going to be in India. And you all should visit at least once. And as for those who live there, lucky you!!!

:) x10

Lately in life, its becomming too easy for us to take our blessings for advantage. Many of us have been blessed with fully funtioning arms and legs. But we dont stop to think what we would do without these. I wanted a pair of shoes and when I was on my way to town to purchase them...I stopped. Looked infront of me...and saw a man with no feet. Be happy for what you already have, and remember to thank god for it all. Its often the most important factors we forget to consider.
To everyone reading this, I propose a challenge:

Everyday, find 10 things that make you smile. Here are mine.

1)My family
2) Friends
3) College (it really does haha)
4) Music, esp my iPod
5) My little brother
6) My tweethearts!!!
7) Chocolate (omg what i would do without it, godnoes)
8) Snuggling up on the sofa
9) Still getting a thrill everytime i visit my grandma x
10) Unexpected money coming in just when you need it most.

Your turn.

Redox or Detox?

Okay, okay. I know that I have been off college for almost 9weeks, BUT I swear to you, I have had NO time to blog. So here's a quick 5minute update on all things me. Follow me through this window......

Ok no window, but still continue to read for me :)

Welllll.. I survived, what most would probably call the greatest, bravest adv of my life. I went India all alone and worked, and surprisingly survived... But it wasnt all chocolates and roses..

Here are my top 5 lessons on How to Survive the Indian Vibe.

1) Almost always opt for rickshaws. They are much cheaper, and kinda fun acctually. Often people think that they are slow, and tiring. But I'll let you in on a secret... My rickshaw driver was Michal Shumacher in disguise.

2) Always find a respectable place to eat. Doesnt have to be a 5* hotels. You could get equally as nice food in a nice resturant. The toilets are always a way to tell if the place is appropriate or not.

3) You will always be asked to sing the national anthem of India everytime you go to the cinema. But be careful, India 'filum' fans are mad. M-A-D.

4) Nearly everything is worth it. If you spend money on a top hotel, you WILL recieve the top of hospitalities. Being lucky enough to stay at the Sahara Star, I was fortunate to experience some of India's most respectable people.

5) When I went to the hospital, for my placement, I got approached by many people that said I inspired them.. what they dont know is, how much they have inspired me! Everybody has their own story and their own pair of shoes. Never judge anyone unless you have walked a mile in their shoes.

- O yeah, remember to keep smiling always! X

#10confessions.

1. I let the dogs out. It was me.

2. I love everyone. Some people I love to see. Some people I love to avoid. Some people I would love to throw a brick at.

3. I hate starting conversations. Ugh, I feel like such an annoyance.

4. I love making people feel better about themselves!

5. U smile. I smile.

6. I would do so much for a tap that gave me hot melted chocolate instead of H2O.

7. Whilst we're on the subject - I won't share my iPod. It's an iPod. Not an usPod. Get over it.

8. My family are the most important thing in the world to me. So much love for them <3. Can't really stand people who lie to their family. I think they should be locked away and beaten up.

9. I HATE FEET. My biggest pet peave. Seriousely, cannot stand feet. They make me VOM.

10. Nothing hurts me more than when somebody eats the last cookie. That was a joke. Truth is, I find it r e a l l y difficult to share feelings :S.. so i just avoid it, turns out being happy is a simpler way of life!

Your Royal Highness

Okay so today has been one of the most patriotic days ever! The Royal wedding was such a beautiful event to appreciate - and to witness the thousands of people around the world celebrating was just wow. Although this wedding has mainly been about Pippa Middleton's amazing arse, no one could miss how stunning Kate Middleton looked. I think the entire nations is excited and eager to invite the new princess.

Just imagine... waking up as a normal girl and going to sleep as a Princess. I can't even.

Kate middleton didn't throw her bouquet, to respect her husband she is going to lay it on princess diana's grave.. how beautiful is that? And whats even more magical is that They reserved a seat for Diana.. thats the sweetest thing ever!!!

Im sure Lady Di would have been up to her neck proud of Prince William.

So as the Royal Wedding celebrations lead on... I have revision to do. Sucks, right?
