If the decade of 2000s has to be remembered and forgotten for something, it has to be the statement belt. And that belt has to be this specific belt which looks like medals had been put together on wide leather strap. This type of statement belt was everywhere in 2000s. As if it had conquered the entire world. There was not a single safe place where this belt had not taken over. This belt itself had gained the status of a celebrity.
Let there be any photo of female celebrity in 2000s. You would notice how prominent this belt had always been. Every celebrity would wear it at every outing. Even when the celebrities were at the galas or events they would still continue to wear it. The belt had become so mainstream that it started to look redundant.
At that time I was a teenager and I love…
First, let me apologize for my mistake for the previous articles where I called Miley's brother as Jason instead of Jackson. I realised my mistake when I started writing today and remembered Jason Earles (an actor in his late 20s at that time) was the actor who played teenage Jackson Stewart who was Miley's brother 🙈
Anyway, let us begin, shall we? Those who watched Hannah Montana know that Jackson, too was a teenager like Miley and he was her schoolmate. He is known for his goofy, lazy and disgusting habits. When Jackson first attended school in California, he was made fun of for his accent, cowboy hat, boots, and large belt buckle with shining bright lights to school. What was fashionable in his native Tennessee was not considered cool in California. Jackson quickly adapted to the style…

One of the recurring characters of Hannah Montana was Lilly Truscott. Lilly is Miley's best friend from her school. Initially the identity of Hannah Montana was kept hidden from her. Lilly is also a fan of Hannah. Once after the show, she sneaks into Hannah's dressing room and sees a bracelet she had given to Miley. That is when the cat gets out of the bag. After finding out the truth, Lilly assumes a secret identity Lola and supports Hannah during the concerts.
To me, Lilly felt like an interesting character. Lilly has been portrayed to be a 'tom boy' type of girl (tom boy is a term used for girls who prefer dressing like boys, who are into sports, and overall are rough around the edges). Lilly has always been a loving and protective friend. Miley knows that she can depend on Lilly and …
Denims have a complicated history, which I do not wish to dwelve into. In decades before 90s, denims had been treated to be an inferior piece of clothing, but 90s changed the picture. However denim received a major upgrade and higher status in the decade of 2000s.
2000s was the decade when jeans became the symbol of being 'ultra cool' and 'rad'. Yes, denims existed even before 2000s, but they gained a momentum in the 2000s.
In 90s denims were considered too casual. Yes, people would wear them to college and casual activities. But if one had to visit someone's home, go to a family meet, or going for a meet up with friends, then jeans were not considered appropriate. One was expected to dress up in a formal or semi formal attire which excluded denims. But 2000s broke this norm and populari…

Yesterday dog tore apart by newspaper in multiple pieces , i left angry and heart broken due to my street dog's misbehaviour with my newspaper.
I am pet lover , I love pets but when it comes to dog I do not prefer them, I have been the victim of these street dog. They do not look loveable to me, not at all till now.

Hello guys aap sab kaise ho main bahut acchi hoon asha Karti hun aap sab bhi theek honge. To aaj main aap sabhi ke Sath Apne music test ke bare mein kuchh share karna chahti hun aur express karna chahti hun my love for ghazal. Pahle I know aap sabko pata hoga lekin jinhen nahin pata Hai unhen Main Bata dun ki according tu mein gazal hai kya. According to me ghazals are the conversation between the heart And The silence. Ghazal is not just a form of music but I think ghazal UN shabdon ko bayan karne ka Tarika Hai jise aap bol nahi sakte sirf mahsus kar sakte hain. It is the most beautiful form of poetry. Jab bhi Koi gazal sunti Hun to Aisa lagta Hai Koi mere Dil ki baat Apne Andaaz mein Kah Raha Hai chahe vah judaai ka dard ho achhai aur burai ki Bhavna Ho pyar Ho ya jalan Ho. Agar Ham 90s …

To agar aapko pata nahin hai to main aapko bataun ki Prahlad ek asur kulkar bahut hi shaktishali raksh hiranya Kashyap ka beta tha. Shivanya Kashyap bahut Hi ahankari raksh tha lekin vah bahut hi powerful tha aur vah khud Ko hi God manta tha lekin usse opposite chup Prahlad uska Putra tha vah Vishnu Bhagwan ka saccha aur pakka bhakt tha. Yah baat hiranyakashyap Ko acchi nahin lagti thi ki vah meri Puja na karke Kisi aur Ko God man raha hai to pahle usne khoob Apne bacchon Ko samjhaya lekin vah nahin Mana to unhone use khatm karne …
Nora came back the next Tuesday, and this time she brought luggage.
Three bags, to be exact, stuffed with Sam's clothes. She dragged them through the laundromat door like a woman smuggling a very soft body.
The teenager looked up from his phone. "Oh no. She's back, and she's brought friends."
"His name is Eli," said the name tag on his shirt, which she had not noticed last week. She decided she would use it, as a sign of respect.
"Eli," she said, "I need to wash these. And I need you to not say anything."
"I wasn't going to."
"You were about to."
"I was going to say the dryers are down to nine minutes per quarter now."
"That's a lie."
"It's the truth," he said. "They changed it."
She sat on the cracked orange chair, hugging her tote bag, and stared at the bags on the floor. Here was the tr…
2000s has to be the decade when the fashion had explored itself in more ways than we can imagine. While there were trends like low waist jeans and crop tops, it also had a trend that was completely opposite to these trends. This trend was layering.
Let me explain how this trend would work.
Wear your jeans first.
After that wear a skirt over the jeans.
Then wear a t-shirt.
After that wear a shrug or a jacket.
Then wrap a scarf around the neck.
Then complete the look with knee high boots.
And that is how the outfit would be completed. This look was mainly popularised by the Disney girls. They would often wear such outfits to look youthful and also not provocative. After seeing the favourite Disney actress wearing such outfit the teenage girls wanted to make a replica of those outfits…
Rico Suave was a recurring character on Hannah Montana. He was one of the characters that had been part of not just the life of Miley but the Stewart family.
Rico is one of Miley and Jason's schoolmates. He is fairly shorter than the rest of his schoolmates, hence he is often the center of jokes. Yet Rico has an advantage. He owns a food stand at the local beach. Whoever makes fun of him at the school, Rico ensures to get a payback at his food stand.
Another plot that is significant to the story is his relation with Stewart siblings. Jason works at the food stand for Rico, making Jason helpless sometimes. While Rico has a crush on Miley who often requests dates and dance with her. Miley sometimes denies while other times agrees.
The character of Rico did not feel relevant to me back the…
I love telling people that I've gone surfing. It's such a unique and niche thing to have as a hobby. And it makes me seem cooler than I actually am.
I went surfing for the first time in 2022, right after covid. My dad suggested it randomly for my holidays, and since we didnt have anything better to do we took a roadtrip to Mangalore to surf.
In Mangalore, they have these Surf Schools where you pay for the surfing classes and they provide housing and food in return for community. I loved that place. I met such wonderful people and instructors that made me glad that i tried a new thing out.
My second time was a year later in Chennai. I was still a beginner and I wanted to explore different beaches and places. The waves there were bigger and harsher. The first few days were fine, but one …
Pretending You Understood the Instructions: An Olympic-Level Performance
Have you ever been in a situation where someone explains something to you, and you understand absolutely nothing, but your head keeps nodding like you’re attending an international conference?Because honestly, I deserve an award for my ability to look intelligent while my brain is fighting for its life.
Someone could explain the most complicated instructions to me, and I’ll respond with, “Yeah, yeah, got it!” with the confidence of a NASA scientist. Meanwhile, inside my head, there are
approximately seventeen question marks, three confused squirrels, and absolutely no useful information.The worst part is when someone asks, “Did you understand?”
Now, what am I supposed to say? “Actually, no. Your explanation entered through one ear, took a sightseeing tour, and disappeared somewhere near m…
I genuinely believe every household has one question that never gets old, never gets answered permanently, and somehow becomes the biggest discussion of the day:
“Aaj khane mein kya banayein?” 😭
Subah se lekar shaam tak, this question travels through the house like an official announcement. And no matter how many times you ask, nobody seems to have a proper answer.
You ask someone, “Kya khana hai?”
They say, “Kuch bhi bana lo.”
EXCUSE ME? “Kuch bhi” is not a dish. It's not written in any cookbook. Please give me at least one useful suggestion. 😂
Then you suggest aloo ki sabzi.
“Arre, kal hi toh aloo khaye the.”
Okay, fine. Paneer?
“Nahi, aaj kuch simple bana lo.”
Dal chawal?
“Roz roz dal chawal?”
At this point, you realise the problem isn't that there's nothing to cook. The problem is that…
As I mentioned in my previous article, the 2000s was really a crazy time to be alive. The trends were one of the reasons why it felt like a strange era. One of the trends of 2000s that was completely impractical was the low rise jeans.
These jeans would not be anywhere near the waist. They would rest at the pelvic girdle which is even below the lower abdomen. At that time these were the only type of jeans available.
Now let me start by telling you why these low rise jeans were problematic. Any stylist would have hated them because they were terrible articles. In terms of the practical application lying low on the body day would visually elongate the torso and make the legs look shorter. It would divide the body in half making it unattractive. It would make the body look disproportionate.…

Let me begin with a confession: I had a serious crash on Robby Stewart and hence Billy Ray Cyrus back in the days.
A brief background before we begin. Robby Stewart (Billy Ray Cyrus) was Miley/Hanna's father (Miley Cyrus's real dad played her reel life dad). Just like any father of a teenage girl, Robby was protective towards his children. He was a guide, songwriter, and music coach for Miley while he was a mentor and friend towards Jason (I am covering Jason too in this series, so more about that in the upcoming chapters). Every interaction with his children was heartfelt and it appeared real (Miley's case was understandable, but even with Jason it felt real too). He saw every potential love interest of Miley/Hannah as his own personal enemy.
However, Robby had a tragic backstory. He …
The moment Iris stepped into the Archive, gravity apparently decided to take a holiday.
Books floated through the air. Staircases rearranged themselves, and tiny golden creatures carried letters between shelves.
"Okay," Iris whispered. "This is officially better than school."
Her brother followed her through the mirror.
"Don't touch anything."
Naturally, Iris touched the nearest book.
It sneezed.
"RUDE!" the book shouted.
Iris jumped.
"YOUR BOOKS CAN TALK?"
"Only the dramatic ones," her brother replied.
Before she could respond, a small creature wearing spectacles appeared.
"Visitors!" it squeaked. "How terribly inconvenient!"
It introduced itself as Pip, the Archive's assistant librarian.
"We're looking for a stolen story," Iris explained.
Pip's expression changed.
"Oh dear. Another one?"…
