Sen's Bucket

The overalls are there for the world to admire, but it is just as important to look good inside, and feel the waves sexuality on yourself. Don't know about how strongly this would apply to the men, the world of fashion & accessories are certainly busy all year round with ideas and suggestions of how women can be just beautiful under their overall clothing, via their lingerie. Here are a few basic must have's for a good lingerie wardrobe:

Gone are the days when an ordinary bath soap would do it; nutritional properties, exotic ingredients and fragrances, and great eye appeal seem to be order of modern soaps. As the times have changed, some of the remedies of distant past make a come back, to ensure that the bathing is a truly exfoliating, cleaning, and most importantly a rejuvenating experience. Goat milk, mineral salts, fruit extracts and a whole lot others have changed the bar of soap we use for bathing, hence making the experience of showering a whole new one in its own rights. Here is a few of these exotic bath soaps one could try for at some point:

With the world becoming a space for electronic communication, whereby devices transmit everything possible within micro-seconds across the world, the art of collecting and using writing instruments seems to be a quickly fading chapter of the past. With limited time, and the need for multi-tasking and less cumbersome hardware to carry around, the fine writing instruments are indeed becoming ancient that a virtually clicking speed. But, for those who still believed in collecting the finest of the writing instruments, the  Bonhams Wilmore Montblanc Collection Auction, had plenty to show the most ardent and discerning of collectors. Here are a few glimpses into the ones on display there.

The cars and homes are being done through, and have been done since quiet the while. However, one of the not so glamorous events, or rather a niche interest group targeted activity, are the art auctions. World famous auction house, Bonham's is conducting auctions meant specially for those who have a taste for rare Islamic and other Indian art pieces, that have centuries of history, and age-old craftsmanship imbibed in them. Here are a few pickings from the lot.

Description When one's royale dreams are awakened along life's testing and trying times, mansions and estates are often one of the main manifestations of the same, and the similar has been the case for me. Hence, amongst the many high-end estates on sale till date, this particular one in Cannes, manged to trigger my magic world dreams. With an undisclosed yet presumably hefty price tag, this place is all about having the advantages of both world's: a penthouse utility and private mansion exclusivity, including it's premium exterior settings.

The design heavy palaces and mansions of Europe to one side, and the modern minimalism of the east to another. Should such a line be ever possible to be drawn to differentiate the elements of these designs from the 2 corners of the world, one might recall the later to be hovering around the theme of Zen, a derivative of the Zen Buddhism and its thought process. Personally looking, its about a sense of calmness and modern minimalism which brings about a greater essence of aesthetics to the living space and greenery, and that's what the aim of this piece looks to be.

Pollution, rising fuel prices, heavy consumption of machinery and equipment: all seem to be a part of the same underlying crisis which is eminent in the world today; the energy crisis. With nature taking a beating with the carbon emissions, fuel supply chains getting pushed and pulled in different ways, there is very little ways in which one can overlook the  widespread concern about the avenues for alternative fuel whose demand is on the rise. There hopefully, have been a few solutions, and has caught the attention of many but needs more concentrated effort never the less. This is all about a few of these alternative eco-friendly fuels which could end up meeting our demands for energy: 1)   Bio diesel Bio diesel is, in simple terms, an eco-friendly fuel created by reacting any animal or vegetable fat (oils), with an alcohol  which can produce fatty acid easters. The resultant fluid not only emits much lesser carbon and other toxic ...

Money is what made the world go around during earlier times, and so it continues to this day. How to make it grow still remains the mater of bread and butter for a large number of rather intellectually and academically endowed people, some of whom are employed to innovate with ideas. As demand of exclusivity rises, and rare classics rekindle the hidden desires of owning something precious from the previous era, new instruments for financial growth and investment have propped up and continue to find new takers who wouldn't mind putting in their money into the ideas, especially if they are adventurous enough.

On January 4, 2011, which was I spent doing what I did everyday, work on client reports, send news clipping etc, I came across the news of a man named Salman Taseer, who had been assassinated in Pakistani capital of Islamabad. Even though being very used to coming across instances like that in the news, I still manged to make myself view that piece of news in a little more detail. Little did I know, that this man wasn't just another politician from my neighboring country. He was someone radically different in more ways, that what a vast majority of his home country seem to be like in modern times.

Villa Artemis, Cyprus   Me and several others, who would be reading this might belong to those who live in main cities, which by far have turned into concrete jungles. Life in these places  by far and large, is congestion oriented and perhaps even claustrophobic for quiet a few. Its no wonder, that the quiet places are now becoming hot spots for holidaying and taking some time away. If the concerned has the extra cash, they could even go as far as to buy a property for their own holidaying time in that location, and admittedly so, I have the similar desire. From the many out there, there is this particular one in Cyprus, which did manage to get catch my eye: Description of the Property Built with signature Cypriot architecture style with the low lying exterior garden walls, apart from the textured landscaping, natural stone pavements designs, shading pergolas, and also the provision for the stone BBQ. Being in an Asian country, never really saw how the BBQ w...

Sen's bucket as originally targeted, will be picking up random stories from subjects from virtually anywhere, with the intent of tickling the readers and author's mind. Without the use of creating a trend, this blog aims to be a easy-read name for those who have a more random approach to things online. Quality control will be taken care of as far as possible, but readers are expected to cross check sources and judge the quality of content on this blog. The story behind this is all about what I (the author) want to write with regards to. From the insanely expensive and attractive and not-so attractive, to the most mundane and ignored (otherwise) and taken for granted , and the sensitive and not-so sensitive issues;  whatever strikes me and can be feasibly put up as a blog entry, just might find a place here. This is one medium where authority and freedom have a different meaning from what is generally thought of them (I basically want to play dictator and ruler!...
