It’s the same story with theaters and cinemas – you must have noticed how some people have to sit with their legs at a sideways angle. 2. Less Dangerous I've never banged my head on a low ceiling 11. There will be lots of situations where tall people have to bend over to not hit their head, but you’ll be able to remain upright without bumping into anything.

Dear Moms, its in your hands if your going to ruin you son life after wedding or if your going to teach him some valuable things for him to enjoy life with his better half.  Please make sure you teach him some valuable things for him to enjoy life with his better half.  MIL may be the short form of Military, but that doesn't mean all MIL's are as strict as military people.  Make sure you try to impress her in the first few days of your togetherness. Because first impression is the best impression. Thank GOD for blessing me with an awesome Mother in Law, a second mom.

For me. Its none other than Grill Chicken from Aasif Brothers Chennai.    Now its mouthwatering as I think of the taste. I go crazy once I hear this name coz I have never ever tasted a very good grill Chicken with more masalas in it.

Coz they are one among the restaurants in chennai which serve food during late night hours ie even at 3 o clock in the morning. By knowing my eagerness towards this chicken, my hubby as a surprise took me to Aasif Brothers for my birthday (2014) and got a whole chicken. So tat was one of the best gifts I ve received from him ever. Thanks dear :) Luv u for making me feel so happy by getting my most preferred food as of now :)
