When I was at AMU

When I was at AMU, I never bothered to figure this out but once I was away from AMU after completing my education, I always looked out for Aligs. So, what are the traits that hint at the other person being be an aligarian, too. The question is: How do we search for an Aligarian when we are travelling, staying in a Hotel, visiting public places, and so on. In other words, what rings a bell...

Let me pen down the traits that I use to spot Aligarians in this crowded world.

I look for:

* Someone who carries an AMU tarana ringtone on the cellphone.
* Someone who speaks good Urdu.
* Someone who looks graceful in appearance.
* Someone who greets people with a loud "Salam Alaikum" without feeling shy about revealing his identity.
* Someone who eagerly responds to a "Salam alaikum" with a "Salam alaikum" and not an obvious "Walekum As-Salaam".
* Someone who respects seniors, older people irrespective of their economic status like waiters, rickshaw pullers, or porters.
* Someone who is young but wears Sherwani, maybe, without a cap :-) (Like our Aligarian student union leaders).
* Some who can crack the humorous one liners while watching a movie in a theatre.
* Someone who can talk about any topic under the sun with the same interest and intensity as for his hobby horse.
* Someone who uses words like jugaad, bhasad, intro, backing, lobby, dhaba, chay, +2, PUC, and mass bunk in his/her conversations.
* Someone who adresses other unknown people of his age with "partner" as in: Partner, ye bus kahan jaaegi..

Better Bathroom

When my home is in the process of renovation, I started searching the internet for the best deals because through this i sves lots of money.

I found some really good items at www.betterbathrooms.com. Their inventory is out of this world and I loved what they had to offer for our period style home. The bath tub I just adore and worked so well in that home. Even though we wanted to keep things in that type of decor, I still love a great free standing shower. Have to be modern sometimes for a betterbathrooms!!

What else I loved about betterbathrooms.com is how they offer Bathroom Suites. Meaning, you can buy you shower, potty and sink all together and my goodness the prices are great!!

The tiles they are offering now are up to 50% off and I love the standard black and white floors. They have stone, travertine and porcelain tiles to choose from. Plus all the items you need to lay those tiles. I really love the under the floor heating in the bathroom. Keeps your feet nice and warm on those cold days.The website betterbathrooms.com have a lot of groups of bathroom furniture. You can discover a lot of groups of modern stage beds, sofas, chairs, vanity units, benches, computer tables, rugs and other more products. You can choose these finished the network through the Internet. They offered free delivery for their clients.
