T’WAS THE LAST CHRISTMAS, THE DAY OF MUSIC’S DEMISE

T’WAS THE LAST CHRISTMAS, THE DAY OF MUSIC’S DEMISE

Yet another legend has left for his heavenly abode. Just when 2016 was about to end and one was certain that the year won’t bamboozle anymore after the appalling loss of legends like David Bowie, Prince, Glen Frey and Leonard Cohen -here comes the gut-wrenching news of the demise of yet another legend. Bidding Adieu to GEORGE MICHAEL-may your soul Rest in Peace. The irony being real, it was his Last Christmas. Christmas won’t be the same again. It will be a constant nagging of the loss of a phenomenon, one of the best selling artists of all time, a teenage heartthrob, singer, songwriter and producer.
He was a British pop star, who rose to fame with his band Wham!  He was born as Georgias Kyriacos Panayiotou to a Greek Cypriot father and English mother on 25 June, 1963 in London. He formed a boy band Wham! Along with Andrew Ridgeley in 1981. Their élan, pizzazz, and spirits captured the hearts of the people making them one of Britain’s biggest Pop Acts. In 1985, Wham! Became the first ever western band to play in China. Later on he commenced a solo career. His first solo album Faith was released in 1987. He opted for a change in his style, donning a leather jacket, stubble and an earring which became his iconic style. The album sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Some of his biggest hits include Last Christmas, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go, Careless Whisper and Freedom!’90 selling over 100 million records in a career spanning nearly four decades.
He was ranked as the 40th most successful artist ever by Billboard magazine. He has been a recipient of a string of awards including three Brit awards, Best British male twice, four MTV VMAs and two Grammy Awards out of eight nominations. He was also named as the most played artist on British Radio during the period of 1984-2004.
In 1998, he came out as gay. He was an active LGBT rights campaigner and HIV/AIDS charity fundraiser.
Michael at the age of 53 was found dead in his bed by his partner Fadi Fawaz in the early morning of 25th December. The cause is believed to be heart failure. “It is with great sadness that we confirm our beloved son, brother and friend George passed away peacefully at home over the Christmas period.” Read the statement issued by his publicist. The legend has left us on his last Christmas but he will never be forgotten. He will be alive in the hearts of all those he inspired, the ones he continues to inspire and the music fraternity. His words, his voice, his music shall live forever. All that lives must die, passing through nature to eternity. Farewell to George Michael, Farewell! He’ll be remembered. He’ll always be missed, a void that’ll never be filled.

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra!  It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far  more convincing without the starry l...

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money. Son Pari is also entitled to save Fruity from Kali Pari ( the main villain). Everyone wishes to have a fairy godmother like Son Pari at some point in their lives. A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone  because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic.

INDIAN MAKEUP TRENDS OVER THE YEARS

From Saira Banu in Padosan, Sridevi in Chandini, Karishma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai to our all time favourite Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and Mili in Khoobsurat, the fashion and makeup trends have been all fancy and crazy yet so aesthetic and elegant and these leading ladies are surely 'Goals'.  One of the most significant shifts that  have been observed over the years in the beauty industry is the ultimate evolution of make-up trends varying from vibrant and vivid looks to nude face concepts. Makeup can not be talked about separately when it comes to beauty and fashion,it is an expressive(and perceived to be expensive by men) art, which has evolved immensely over the past century and has vividly been an integral part of our culture. But what have been the major stages of this evolution? Let us take a dive in the past and follow up to the time of the millennials.  THE ERA OF SIMPLICITY(1910) -There was hardly any makeup and plain sarees with little or no de...
