jewellery loot




its amazing the pleasure jewellery can bring to a lady. especially when its eight Sia sets - big and happy, shiny and colourful all for less than Rs.3000/= :)

bought thanks to spending a day in bed watching homeshop18. very well done scripts. very good presenters. good deals. a lot better than the news and soaps.

Wonderful, wonderful

Harishchadrachi Factory is a wonderful movie that celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit of Dadasaheb Phalke, who made India's first movie in 1911. A cheerful, upbeat, celebratory movie. Must watch.
