53.0 How To Control Hunger As A Vegetarian? A Vege Story!

How To Get Visa? Ohh No! It was not easy to prepare the necessary documents for Visa approval. For the very first pilgrimage tour, I had a temporary certification. Therefore, I had to prepare the documents, including my passport. As that country requires a Visa, I had to take a letter from my office. There were many rules associated with the Visa application, and it was not an easy task.

It required the approval of many, though it has scheduled for four days including two weekdays. Some of my cousins wondered after hearing about the approval process. For them, the approval of their immediate supervisor was enough and they did not take time to prepare that letter. But as usual, my case was different and I had to follow up on it for a couple of days. Sometimes I thought that I would not be able to go there. So, it was an additional pressure apart from the work schedule.

Meantime, I arranged a traveling bag to put my stuff. I think I had to spend a half-day to do that job. I went with my cousin's sister to buy that and one of my friends asked me to check the quality properly. She could not use the bag for more than two days after buying from such a shop. So, I wanted to have the Best Travel Bag. 

Apart from that, I arranged suitable clothes for the journey. It was not a hassle as I decided to wear what I had because I almost kept a reasonable amount of the main expenses. I could say that there were about three weeks of preparation time. However, I was glad about the journey. All of us thought about the places that we can travel once we went there. So, it was a pleasure for all of us.



Except for a few including my sister, most of the cousins joined the tour. The union of all of us was another thing that made us happy. So, we were counting the days for our journey. A few days before the journey, I packed all my stuff in the bag and made sure that I bought everything. During this period, I added and removed some stuff. Lol... So, it was another job. As it is required to print the name and address on the bag, still I can remember the way I did that. I took a few copies of the details to use if required and pasted one there. But when I was looking at the others, the font size was big. It is bigger than the others, and it was a shame for me. After dragging it to a few places itself, tapes pasted on the corners get removed. So, it had a funny look. Sometimes it made me angry as I had to paste it a couple of times. Lol...

After many preparations and checking, finally, we got into the plane. Traveling By Plane! Lol... So, our guys who had the corner seats near the window felt happy like nothing. So, the others planned to take that seat when returning. We discussed to exchange our seats also to get that opportunity. Hah hah ha... I don't know what do you think about our gang. Lol... 

Once we reached there, a person came from our hotel as arranged, and he picked us from the airport. Most of our guys said that we could have a city tour when going from the airport to the hotel. First few minutes, we saw the beauty of that area once we got into that vehicle. But after a few minutes, all of us fell asleep. One of our cousin brothers told us everybody slept well except him.
 

The hotel provided breakfast only with that package. If required, we should order lunch and dinner separately. But we forgot to do that, and we had to go out for dinner. No one brought biscuits even. So, all of us went out and searched for a good restaurant to have dinner. After checking for a few places, we realized that the price is high in most of the food courts. Therefore, we checked the known brands like "Pizza Hut", "Burger King", etc... However, those places located a bit far, and we did not go there. We did not use a taxi even, as it was the first day we came, and we could not get relevant information from the hotel or our travel guide.

As I was vegetarian, the others also had to search for a Vegetarian Diet. All of the others were non-veg. I think it was an additional burden for them under that condition.  Therefore, I asked them to have food, saying that I can manage dinner with a small thing. However, it did not work, and we thought not to consider the price. So, it was our first dinner experience, and once we returned, we checked for the restaurants that have all food varieties.

Then we identified some Indian restaurants and most of us liked to have Indian food. So, all of us decide to go to one Indian restaurant for dinner. As we planned, we went there to have some spicy food as it was our food type. Though I could have full Veg meals for breakfast and lunch, those were not much spicy. Even though there was some spicy food, there was a different taste because of the sauce they put. I think it was their own thing.

Because of these reasons, we were waiting for our dinner. Once I checked their menu, I was so happy, my dear friends. They had all kinds of Veg food I loved to have. Therefore, they resolved my problem. Thanks, Indians... However, one of my cousins wanted to have something with prawn curry, and it did not mention on the menu. Therefore, one of my brothers asked one guy to come and explained what he wants. But he did not get that and just looked at us.

So, our brother explained the prawn with its unique features. Suddenly, that guy said that "oh you are talking about prawns?" in Sinhalese. Lol… It made all of us laugh. He was a Sri Lankan and we could not identify him as most of the Asians have a similar look. Then it took a little time to manage our laugh. However, we felt happy about his Meetup. He also did not recognize us as Sri Lankans. He was a nice guy for us and he said that he came there recently. After that, we had dinner from that restaurant for the next couple of days also. However, he had Foreigner Reactions. Lol...

Once we discussed that situation later, we got to know that anybody hasn't identified him as a Sri Lankan. But later on, we saw unique Sri Lankan features and behaviors from him. I don't know what kind of blindness it was. Lol...

For the entire journey, we had that sauce a lot with our meals. That taste reduced the need for food also. Sometimes, I bought small snacks to have after the main meals to cover the rest. Most of the restaurants did not have Veg food. So, when I was asking about Veg food, it brought a smile to them. So, sometimes I checked the available food items and thought twice before asking for them. Lol... 

Finally, we reached the destination of our tour. All of us wanted to have a good meal. So, we asked one of our relative aunts to prepare something spicy. As soon as I returned, having that meal was my first task. Lol... 

However, we should control our greed irrespective of Veg or Non-Veg. If you can have your meal, without attaching it or hating it, then you are adhering to universal truth. You can enjoy the food without going to these two extremes. It will help you to end up the life circle (Sansaaraya).

52.0 Our Bodies Are Beautiful With Skin. But It Is A Walking Trash Bag. Secrets Revealed.

Though I wanted to write about some memorable incidents related to tours I went just after the blog posts of Trips, it did not work for an unknown reason. Several other topics came to mind, and I worked on them.  I was in a hurry to complete those topics first, though I had unforgettable stories. Sometimes I cannot understand the way that my mind is working on. Sometimes it is like opening twenty to thirty browser tabs and waiting for loading those pages. I don’t know. How about you?  I hope you all have peaceful minds than mine. Isn’t it? Power Of The Mind!

As you know, I wanted to monetize this blog by applying advertisements in the free spaces here. Now, you can see some of them in the footer and right side of the page. I hope it does not disturb you. However, I need a considerable amount of traffic to get effective advertisements, and for the moment it is not enough. I wanted to give up this job when thinking about traffic matters. But I did not do that and still work on my blog. I'm thinking about good topics that I can work on. I hope one day I will have enough readers. 

I would kindly request you to share my blog with others if you enjoy the post. I think I put my maximum effort to generate a quality outcome. However, you are the one who knows it well, irrespective of my effort. 

Positive Feedback! I received feedback from my lovely readers via the comments. Some friends gave positive feedback regarding the content and user-friendliness of the site. Some of them mentioned a few issues regarding the page. They could not see the uploaded images. If there is such an issue, clearing the cache is the best thing to do, if it did not work by refreshing the page. Some friends thanked me. I hope they enjoyed the post. Some of them went through my posts, after the recommendation of their parents and colleagues. Once they told me that, it made me proud. 

Every time once I got such feedback, I thought to deliver a quality post that useful for others. If you went through my last few posts, those mentioned the real adventurous type incidents I faced when using Taxies. I hope sharing that information would help someone. Sometimes you would think that what is the purpose of sharing these things with us. So, I wanted to avoid that thought. 

Therefore, I'm trying my best to provide something useful. Apart from that type of feedback, some friends gave some suggestions. As they asked, I mentioned some of my social media links on the "Contact" page. One friend asked me to upload some videos. That was the thing that I could not make. Sorry... Though I thought it was a good suggestion, I did not do that yet. But you may have to hear my voice. Lol... If you would like to point out your views regarding that video thing, please do tell me. 

A friend asked me to change the topics. Earlier it went as "Trips -Part 01", "Trips -Part 02", etc... Furthermore, that friend asked me to analyze the topics in sites like "Yahoo". So, I'm providing this review by summarizing your feedback, to get more responses and suggestions from you. I can improve my blog by implementing your views. Here, I would like to thank my all friends who read, comment and share my posts.

Holy Land Pilgrimage! Apart from that review, here I wanted to point out some memories regarding the tours we went out of the country. The first tour was a pilgrimage, and it took twelve days as I remembered. That tour, I went with one of my friends and her mother. There were about forty people in our team. As it was the very first journey, I went out of the country, there was a lot of preparation. As well as it was an exciting journey for me and my friend. I could say that we were waiting for that day. Apart from my friend and her mother, the rest of the crowd was unknown people. We three did not know anyone. But after one day all of them were friendly with us. 

Among the crowd, there was a granny who was in her eighties. She came alone, and her children spent money on her pilgrimage. She had the confidence to go on a journey with unknown people. On the very first day, she wanted to find out a suitable companion for her. Therefore, she talked to everyone. Everyone helped her to walk and complete her journey by providing their attention. She was the granny of everyone.  As this was a pilgrimage, there were no fun memories, and I could say that it was an uncomfortable tour. As it was scheduled for twelve days, the organizing team arranged all the necessary places to visit within that time.

Toilet Trouble! Therefore, all of us had to wake up early in the morning like 3-4 a.m. to complete long-distance journeys. We traveled by bus, and some journeys took the entire day. So, those were tired journeys with the hot climate, and it was not convenient for some elders. The main issue we all ladies had was the toilets. Sometimes, we found out a toilet after informing our needs to others. 

But it took a long time to find out a toilet, and those places also not in good condition to use. Once we were waiting in the toilet queue, we could not reach there even because of the bad smell. At that time, we were helpless, and I could not think why people do not have any ethics and behaviors as human beings. So, one aunt understood the problem we faced and she asked me to bear up the bad smell and go there. 

The Human Body! She asked us to think about the reality of our human body. Once we threw our excrements, now it has gone. But we cannot bear up its smell even. So, how about the condition of inner things that we have not yet thrown. Therefore, the human body is like a walking garbage bag. 

That was her instruction and it helped us to use that toilet. Lol... After that, most of our ladies also used to go out as males. Because of this issue, most of the people's toilet was the outside that consists of some shrubs. So, there were pigs too, and they used to eat the excrements of humans. If you are a pork lover, think about their stomachs and eating habits now before taken them for your meals. Lol...

However, it did not work for me, and I could say that many suffered a lot because of that problem. As a solution, I did not drink water daytime and had water in the night. Some of the other ladies also followed up the same procedure as a solution. However, it was not an easy thing to do because of the hot climate.

Our organizing team did not let us have meals from outside to avoid stomach aches. There were two chefs to prepare our meals. So, it went well. However, some of them could not resist having food from outside. So, they had to suffer, and they could not visit some ancient places. I bought some medicine for headaches, stomachaches, and wounds. So, some of them told me that those medicines worked for them. However, that granny went well without any issue luckily. She was healthy during the entire journey.

51.0 Charlie Sheen's Guide To Step By Step Makeup! It Can Give You Either Hot Or Devil Look. Lol...

As ladies, we care about our beauty a lot. Therefore, I believe we are facing lots of incidents when we were trying to improve it. There will be miracles after applying some makeup. Sometimes, it will ruin your look too. Sometimes, people won't recognize you. Lol... Likewise, you may have heard various incidents of others. Sometimes, you may have fun stories in your mind. I believe that you may have some stories that you have not shared with others yet. I belong to a few categories here. It ruined my look. Others took a certain time to recognize me.  I have not shared any of the incidents with others as those embarrassed me. How can I reveal, friends? Makeup Routine! Lol...

The very first memory regarding the make-up was amazing. We were preparing for a wedding. It was the first time that all of us were planning to wear a saree too. So, me, my sister, and cousins also wanted to apply make-up for that wedding. To get all the things done, we got the support of an aunt who had a salon. All of us liked to consult her, as all of us suffered from the pimple's patches. So, we wanted to hide them via the creams and other stuff. I think my face has the worst case than the others.

So, that aunt came to our home, and there was a queue for us. That queue consists of me, my sister, cousins, my mother, and some relative aunts. My mother and other relatives’ aunts wanted to have a hairstyle. They did not want to apply any makeup. Therefore, the time required for each was different according to their needs. So, when it came to my chance, she thoroughly observed my skin and patches. She said that light make-up would not hide the patches. 

As it was my first time, I did not want to have a weird look with heavy makeup.  However, she considered my needs too and did her job. I thought that I would have an attractive look after applying makeup. But it was not and I could hide my patches up to some extent. Once she did, she said that her daughter does not require to apply any makeup to improve her beauty. Furthermore, she said that she also liked her daughter's natural beauty. I thought "OKAY....".

Makeup Artist! For another wedding, we consulted another professional, and he was a male. He was famous among the community, and he studied from a well-recognized person in the beauty industry. So, most of the people in his area wanted to consult him for their support. 

As it was one of my cousins' weddings, all of us planned to take his support to celebrate her big day. There were two days of celebrations, and we thought not to go for someone except him. He was a very friendly person, and because of that personality, he could win the customers. So, our people also get friendly with him after a few minutes. He was the "Guru" for all the beauty problems.

Apart from the bride, he was caring about bridesmaids and flower girls. So, his attention focused on the entire crowd. He was the one who prepared sarees and frocks of the wedding gang. Therefore, I could say that the entire crowd had to visit him regularly. Though I did not belong to that team, I also went with them for their support. So, he wanted to dress me too on that day. 

Once he looked at each of us, he pointed out the improvements and appreciated the natural beauty of each. It was hair, skin, or smile. Those days my sister was very thin. So, he said that there should be enough muscles in the stomach to get a better look from the saree. As well as, he said that he might have to apply a lot of stuff to cover her pimples' patches. He worried a lot. It was a Makeup Tutorial. 

Finally, her big day arrived, and all of us were excited as it was the very first wedding of our cousins. We were waiting for that moment happily. As he promised, he dressed me also, and I did not want to think about other's support. I could say that he put his maximum effort to do his job well. As all of us got his support, there were many similarities among our cousins when looking at the make-up given for hair, eye, and lipsticks.

We observed that similarity when we were looking at the photos. For both days, my hairstyle had a big bump, and it was similar to the hairstyle of bridesmaid. It was a big hair bump, and it could increase my height from a few inches. Lol...

Melt Makeup! Apart from the two big days, there was another day to bring her to the groom's home. It was the tradition. As it was a small function arranged at a home, we thought to do make-ups by ourselves without his support. So, all of our relatives ready to go there. As per our beauty plans, we bought a set of make-up items to do it by ourselves. 

As we saw the way they have dressed up, we thought that we could make it by ourselves. By following up on the professionals' procedures, we applied creams, lotions, and powders to increase the facial color and hide patches. It went well, I guess.

However, it took lots of effort to complete the Eye Makeup. I could not apply black ink properly in the eyeliner. It went inside the eye, and I had to wash the eye. After washing I had to apply cream and lotions again. The second term also did not work, and mascara applied in the eyeliner came out. I had a devil look. Lol... Finally, it ended up with red eyes. 

Though I thought it was an easy job just by looking at the way those professionals did, it was not. As there was no enough time to contact someone and take their support, somehow, I had to manage it. So, we went to the function with that makeup. But nobody comments on my makeup. My cousins also said that "it's fine". So, I thought that my effort is not a waste, and I was happy.

So, that day was over after having lunch and enjoying it. The time came to say goodbye to my cousin sister. Though it was not a sad moment for any of us, I could not avoid my tears once I saw the emotional situation among my cousin sister and her parents. There were a few girls from the groom's side, and they were also friendly with us. So, they saw that I was crying, and they also could not hide their tears. I think it was like a tears link. 

Though nobody did feel sad, I think most of us could not bear up the tears in others' eyes. That was the case. After a few seconds, they started to laugh by looking at me. For a moment, I could not understand the reason. But I knew the reason once I saw black on my facial tissues. It made me laugh even though it embarrassed me. Finally, my look was the end of that sad moment. Lol...

50.0 No Wonder She Said "No"! Learn How To Sharing Information With People. It Is Private & Confidential. Be Careful!

Modes Of Transport! During the twelve years of office journey, Taxi was the main transportation. Therefore, there are many memories to share with you all. I believe that Taxi drivers are nice guys to have a chat. But there is also a risk when sharing your information with a stranger. Because of these two reasons, I wanted to reply back politely without making trouble when they were asking some questions.
 

But it is not possible to share some details with them as I felt that it was not their business. But you know. It is not possible to act as a deaf or dumb person. Therefore, I could say that 50% of the given information was wrong when they were asking about personal information. Sometimes, they also revealed their personal details, though I did not ask any.

One day, a guy asked that "are you working in that jewelry shop?". As that shop located near to my office, I gave its location when I was ordering the Taxi. As it was a famous shop, it was easy for anyone to find. So, as it was easy to go through the "Yes Flow", I just said "Yes". After that, there were many sub-questions related to jewelry. I could not manage the answers as I did not know much about pricing and all. Therefore, I said that I could not share those as it breaches their rules. After that response, there was silence among us. Lol...

Family Friendly Chats! Sometimes, they also revealed their personal details, though I did not ask any. You won't believe that most of them revealed the difficulties they have to run life with their families. Their current income was not sufficient for them to run a family with a few children. Basically, they could not think about savings or investment after expending for food and main stuff.

Most of them blamed the government because of the higher cost of living. So, most of the time "Politics" and "Economy" raised as sub-topics after the main topics. Sometimes, they questioned my transport expenses as they knew that it took a reasonable amount to go by Taxi. One guy said that "half of your salary would take for Taxies if you are using a Taxi for daily transportation". 

In such a situation, I said that I'm randomly using a Taxi and other days I'm going by bus though it was not the truth. I think such responses consoled their mind after feeling that the majority of society does not have a sufficient income like them. I loved that kind of discussion, as it does not require to share some personal things. Therefore, I could get down from the vehicle without lying to them.

Some of them told their family problems. They said that their children are not willing for education, and thought that their effort is a waste. In such a situation, I did not respond to them though I had some opinions to share. One person told me that he is coming from the hospital, and said that he went to visit his sibling. He told me that after finishing a phone call. Additionally, he said that he lied to his wife as she does not like to keep the relationships with his family. As he could not forget his family, he said that he helped them without informing his wife. However,  I did not respond to him in that case also. 

How To Look Good? One day I met another guy, and he was a pleasant person. So, after a small chat about traffic, economy, weather, etc... he suddenly asked "miss, can you guess my age?". Though he looks like mid-forties, I could not tell it to him because of the way he behaved and his outfits. That stuff revealed a look of a guy in his twenties. So, I was in trouble, and I said "about thirty" after he requested again. Luckily, it was correct, and he revealed his tips and good practices to keep a good look. Lol...

However, after most of the discussions, I got to know that most of them are intelligent people. Some of the very young guys were matured than their age. Their decisions and reasons for those were unbelievable. Sometimes, I felt that I did not have such an intelligence level at that age. I was a silly idiot who did not think about such an analysis even. I did not want to think about even the topic they discussed deeply.

Bad Habits! One day was a bad day for my entire Taxi journey. I could say that it is a black mark for "Taxi". He was a matured person. According to my bad habit, on that day, his Taxi was my office transport. The way he started his discussion was not suspicious. He said that a few people arrested by police as they kept some offensive stuff related to videos. 

I just responded, "Ohh really?". Believe me. That was it. After that, he came up with many bad stories and explanations by suggesting some options for me also. I could not think what is going on and for a moment I could not think about my next steps.  On that day, I decided to stop my bad habit and order a taxi without stopping whatever going on the road.

Though I did not report this incident, I got to know the color and the number of the vehicle as he passed me slowly a few days after that incident. Those days, his view was the most unpleasant thing for me to see in the morning.

After a couple of weeks, I saw a Three-wheeler that stuck a greeting label in large font. As you know most of the three-wheelers decorated with lights and stickers. Though it is a common thing, the size of the font was the suspicious thing for me. It was the greeting, and it increases my doubt thoughts. I just thought that the person who is driving this vehicle should be an exceptional case. I wanted to look at the driver. 

My observation was correct and he was that silly man. My father always said that the person who is doing the wrong has a big noise to cover the stuff. I think that person also tried to cheat innocent people via that logic. However, that silly thing made me laugh. Lol... 

It is easy for us to go by Taxi comfortably. But you should think about the Taxi that you are hiring before getting into the vehicle. That is why I did not recommend my bad "Taxi practice" for you all in a previous post. A delay makes you and others uncomfortable. But I don't think that it would not harm your life unless it is not a need for an ambulance.
