And now here are the Quotes:


If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one. -  Mother Teresa

We are all different people. It is up to us to make that difference work, otherwise everything fails. -  John Tinniswood

I think the biggest political force on the planet today is ‘threatened patriarchy’. This has intrigued me for a long time. In cinema, we are seeing the rise of some tropes: the worship of the dictatorial father figure, the omnipotent superhero or the extremely rich and violent man who will save society and the common man. All of these things are happening because men are vulnerable and threatened and are using the levers of power to push back. We are living amidst the last scream of the scared male. -  Dibakar Banerjee

Because they have been enjoying unquestioned privileges for the last 6000 to 7000 years. All the organized religions in the world have catered to them. Now, after the labour movement and the feminist movement, it’s time for the feudal male to feel afraid. Their thousand-year-old habits are being questioned by centuries-old movements. It’s new for them. -  Dibakar Banerjee

If you’re in a relationship, I strongly recommend that you LIVE TOGETHER before getting married! This is the same advice I’ve always given my sons, both of whom have had, or are in, a live-in relationship. It just seems logical to me that before two people get their families and the government involved in their equation, they first put their relationship to the ultimate test. -  Zeenat Aman

I always feel that if I say certain things, I might go to jail, or I will be fined, or my film will get stuck at the censors, or somebody will set fire to my house, or will shoot me, or will file a case against me. -  Dibakar Banerjee

You absolutely HAVE to become ok with not being liked. No matter how loving or kind you are, you will never people please your way into collective acceptance. You could be a whole ray of sunshine and people will hate you cuz they’re used to rain. Be ok with shining regardless. -  Karan Johar

It’s easy to be the best version of yourself for a few hours a day. But can you share a bathroom? Weather the storm of a bad mood? Agree on what to eat for dinner every night? Keep the fire alive in the bedroom? Work through the million tiny conflicts that inevitably arise between two people in close proximity? In short - are you actually compatible? -  Zeenat Aman

I’m aware that Indian society is a little uptight about “living in sin” but then again, society is uptight about so many things! Log kya kahenge? (What will people say?) -  Zeenat Aman

If girls adopt the live-in culture, marriage as an institution will become obsolete. Tell me honestly, would you marry your son to a girl whom you know to have been in a live-in relationship? -  Mumtaz Madhvani

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. I’ve never been one to comment on others' personal lives or tear down my colleagues, and I’m not going to start now. -  Zeenat Aman

What is the need to tie yourself down in this day and age? Why marry? For children? Arrey, go out there, find the man who appeals to you, and get his baby without physical intimacy. -  Mumtaz Madhvani

I don’t read anything written about me. That’s one of my coping mechanisms. -  Mariah Carey

Having a tool like social media does two things. Firstly, it makes you perform all the time. You become an actor in your own life. The second thing is, you start escaping your real life and keep running towards your virtual life because that gives instant gratification. I have seen videos of influencers waking up in the morning, brushing their teeth and getting ready. Their lives are just narratives, being dished out for their audiences to consume. -  Dibakar Banerjee

Some tortures are physical and some are mental. But the one that is both is dental. -  Ogden Nash

Parkinson's may not kill you but it will make you wish you hadn't been born. -  Jeremy Paxman

The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated by quotations. -  Benjamin Disraeli

The vigor of the soul is sophrosyne, the light of a soul free of disturbing passions. -  Demophilus

Sophrosyne controls our penchant for concupiscence. -  Plato


Hope is the only good god remaining among mankind;
The others have left and gone to Olympus.
Trust, a mighty god has gone, Sophrosyne has gone from men;
And the Graces, my friend, have abandoned the earth.
— Theognis of Megara (6th-century BCE)

Quotes

Dear Friends,

Continuing with my quotes collection that I’ve shared with you in my previous blogs, here are some more diverse views for you to peruse.


Love is understanding, authenticity and being able to be exactly who you are with no editing – and it’s a gift. -  Michelle Visage

Some people protect us with wings outstretched, not because it’s their duty to do so but just because they know that it’s the right thing to do. -  Anon

I never read anything about myself online. You never know what you might find, but I certainly wouldn’t find it funny. I believe in the old saying that if you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all. -  Olivia Coleman

They’re all weak, all women. They’re stupid compared to men. They shouldn’t play chess, you know. They’re like beginners. They lose every single game against a man. -  Bobby Fischer (World Chess Champion)

Here cometh April again, and as far as I can see the world hath more fools in it than ever. -  Charles Lamb

We all talk a lot, but I don't think people actually listen anymore, sit and actually listen to one another. -  Amanda Lovett

An incapable person uses the crutches of excuses. A doer goes and does it. -  Aparna Chatterjee

Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't. -  Margaret Thatcher

I don't have any rules, because I would only be breaking them, so it's a waste of time. -  Iris Apfel

It takes years to build a reputation. It takes a minute to lose it. -  Aparna Chatterjee

I don’t lie. That’s why I get in trouble: I’m honest to a fault. -  Michelle Visage

One of the biggest and most consistent differences between men and women is that relative to men, women tend to be more interested in people over things. Overall, the differences may be modest, but at the extremes of the distribution, the differences can be extreme. To be among the best chess players in the world requires extreme devotion to "things" over people. Men are much more likely to have over-the-top obsession...and obsession about things and about winning. -  Dan Dalthorp (Statistician & Ecologist)

The more you crave, the more you are a slave. -  Aparna Chatterjee

Learn to appreciate clothing you see online in the same way you appreciate art – admiration doesn’t mean you need to buy it. And love the clothes you have: there are plenty of outfits you haven’t thought about yet among what you already own. -  Emma Hakansson

Close relationships, more than money or fame are what keep people happy throughout their lives. Those ties protect people from life’s discontents, help to delay mental and physical decline, and are better predictors of long and happy lives than social class, IQ, or even genes. -  Liz Mineo

Do not take life too seriously, this is all a sham. -  Michelle Visage

There are many questions in life worth asking, but perhaps if we’re wise we can understand that not every question needs an answer. -  Rebecca Solnit

My attachment to “things” represented a phase in life spent acquiring material wealth. Loss made me realise nothing is more valuable than life. My husband’s possessions were remnants I could still touch, smell and hold. They offered comfort; I was reluctant to let them go for fear he would vanish entirely. But the process of grief has shown he resides in a limitless space within, and in a life that can be short, or long, stuff just weighs you down when you’re feeling nudged to venture forward. So, it’s also time for me to sell my home, hopefully to a family to fill its vacant rooms, and to start living lighter. -  Margaret McNally

Life is unpredictable and uncertain. Hence, timely action should be taken. -  Aparna Chatterjee

It’s just as possible for a woman to become the best as any guy. But there are so many difficulties and social boundaries for women generally in society. That is what blocks it. -  Judit Polgár (Hungarian Chess Grandmaster)

Always listen to your wife - that’s the key to a healthy life. -- 101-year-old George Court (when asked his secret to living a long and successful life)


We tear through the decades like it's some kind of race
With rarely a thought about just in case
Sometime around 50 things start to shift
With more life behind you, what's ahead is a gift
The face is more wrinkled and the body has aged
The ways of my youth have been captured and caged
With issue after issue popping out of the blue
I've come to accept not all my dreams will come true
The thrill of life's sin has faded with time
As the needs of my parents have now become mine.

- Daniel Salinger -

Happy seeing and Happy sharing :-)

We've got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can't just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it's going to get on by itself. You've got to keep watering it. You've got to really look after it and nurture it. - John Lennon

When you feel neglected, think of the female salmon, who lays 3,000,000 eggs but no one remembers her on Mother's Day. - Sam Ewing

Kena Jaye

Hope you like this latest blog of mine that features some products used by me and my family.

http://kenajaye.blogspot.co.uk/

I've titled it in Bengali as "Kena Jaye" which means "can be bought"

Hence, these products can also be bought by you if you like them as much as we do.

In the coming days, I'll be adding some more products, as and when I remember them or reuse them.

As all these goods have been bought from UK, hence you can google them out and see if these are also available in your country.

Either one of your local hypermarkets would be selling them, or you might get them on Amazon, eBay, Flipkart, etc.

Earlier this year we went to India where temperatures were peaking at 43 degrees and last month we went to Italy and Switzerland where it was summer and so we had to endure highs of over 30 degrees at some places. It was difficult going out in the blazing sun and so we chose to go out in the evenings and come back to our hotel late at night.

We stayed in Novotel Malpensa which was very near to the airport and the hotel provided shuttle service.

From the airport we could get direct coaches to Milan and Stresa in Italy and Lugano in Switzerland.

All the 3 places were an hour's drive from the airport. Though car hire would have been cheaper for a family of four but we decided not to hire a car but go for those buses which are very well-equipped, punctual and reliable and thus enjoyed the scenic beauty of the countryside and cities while being driven around....

We visited Lake Maggiore and Lake Lugano surrounded by beautiful green hills and valleys.

From Milano Malpensa Airport you can get Terravision buses to Milan Central Station.

From this airport you can also get Alibus shuttle to Stresa and Jet Bus to Lugano.

All these buses including the hotel shuttle service come to Terminal 1 and Terminal 2.

Here are some serene pics of Lugano for you to see :-)

What I must mention is this wonderful product that always made me feel fresh both in India and in Italy despite the soaring temperatures.

Secret Deodorant Outlast Clear Gel Sport Fresh

http://kenajaye.blogspot.co.uk/2017/09/secret-deodorant-outlast-clear-gel.html

It's such a superb deodorant that I've stopped using all the others that I used in the past.

It really does what it says. My most favourite deodorant till date and I'm now committed to it.

I bought this from Amazon. See if you can get it. No harm in trying and you'll thank me if you like it :-)

I've been using this for nearly a year as I first bought it late last year.
________________________________________________________

Also, as winter is now approaching, let me mention that Vaseline works well for dry lips.

http://kenajaye.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Vaseline

Diprobase works well for dry hands

http://kenajaye.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Diprobase

and Sanex is really good to keep dryness at bay.

http://kenajaye.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Sanex

I don't suffer much from dryness as much as my hubby and children do as they go out more often than I do.

His Smile :-)

What I like best about this guy is his naughty, enchanting and winsome smile :-)

Whenever I see him on TV, I know he's gonna say or do something that will make me smile :-)

Why?

Because he looks so funny, romantic and hilarious in most of his roles and above all he is a great dancer.

It is said that many of his co-stars felt wary of dancing with him as he was so good in dancing and they had to match his steps :-)

I've enjoyed many of his comedies and I must say that he has a great sense of humour with that perfect sense of comic timing ;-)

He's a wholesome entertainer and some very melodious songs have been picturised on him.

Picture Quote sourced from Slideshare dot Com

Did You Know?

Did you know she used to drape a saree over her shirt and trousers and read the news on TV?

Well, I didn't.

Did you know she was a very sportive person and so plunged into depression when she couldn't play any sports because of her illness?

That is when her sister encouraged her to become a TV Presenter.

Also, did you know that she cried a lot after doing the Aaj Rapat Jaayen song with Amitabh Bachchan because she was not comfortable dancing in a saree?

Amitabh Bachchan consoled her a lot to make her feel better.

Intriguing facts like these you'll find in the Video Biography at the end of this playlist I've made on Smita Patil - a very promising actress who died at the young age of 31.

And now let me end this Blog with some Quotes for you:

Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of your life. - Anon

People who love only once in their lives are....shallow people. What they call their loyalty, and their fidelity, I call either the lethargy of custom or their lack of imagination. - Oscar Wilde

To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket- safe, dark, motionless, airless--it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. - C.S. Lewis

You know that when I hate you, it is because I love you to a point of passion that unhinges my soul. - Julie de Lespinasse

Instead of putting others in their place, put yourself in their place. - Anon

Have you ever been in love? Horrible isn't it? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love. - Neil Gaiman

It is with words as with sunbeams - the more they are condensed, the deeper they burn. - Robert Southey

It is twice the pleasure to deceive the deceiver. - Jean De La Fontaine
