You have to decide if you're going to wilt like a daisy or if you're just going to go forward and live the life that you've been granted.Explored

In earlier times, turquoises were responsible for the material wellbeing of the wearer. The Persian scholar Al-Qazwini, for example, wrote: 'The hand that wears a turquoise and seals with it will never see poverty.' Turquoises were often worn on the turban, and often surrounded with pearls, in order to protect their wearer against the 'evil eye'. As talismans, they adorned daggers, sabres and the bridles of horses. It was not until the time of the crusades that they came to Europe. Indeed it is from that period that the name 'turquoise' originates, meaning 'Turkish'.

"what do you mean you don't eat meat? oh, that's ok, i'll make you lamb"
hahaha i love that quote from my big fat greek wedding. similarly, in pathan culture, not eating meat is like 'eh?'... don't get me wrong, i LOWVE meat and seafood but there is just something about south indian veg food that always knocks me for six. there is this place in london, called vijay's chawallas, it does purely indian veg food, even down to serving it on a steel thali... i'm such a fan of this restaurant, i have introduced it to so many people and so many memorable lunches and dinners at this place that i've lost count... there is hardly a day when you don't have to queue for a table but it is sure worth the wait... i recommend the gujerati thali (i always substitute the mixed veg for channa) and the starters are out of this world, go for the special chaat, mogo chips, pani puri, pau bhaji........ the list is never ending.... to finish it off don't forget the falooda... =)
