My Skin in trouble



Why do you use so many cosmetic products? Asked my mom the minute she saw my cosmetic bag. How else do I protect my skin, I wondered. We never used to use all these chemicals she said. This is not only her view . But the point of all women of her generation. How much ever I argue. I have to agree that all of that is true. I have always hoped for a skin like my mom and aunt. They have soft and clear skin and the best part is they dont spend money on hordes of cosmetic creams. Yes. That is the irritating part also.

My mom always gives a gnaan on the importance of natural skin care tips and the benefits of them. Ayurveda or natural ingredients not only gives me a clear skin but also helps me maintain and in fact improve the complexion, texture and health of the skin. Then why cosmetics. Maybe because I am lazy . Maybe because it is not readily available. Maybe the world I think I want to belong to. Still I have some true and tried techniques of skin care which I follow from time to time. I am not regular in it. Because it cannot be squeezed out of a pack. Still I do it and some of them occupy a permanent part of my cosmetic world

Turmeric
Known for its healing properties. It helps me remove sun tan and increases my complexion. The complexion is a major issue for any brownish fair south Indian girl

Besan Flour Powder

This is a scrubbing agent. This removes the dirt and microbes in the body. A combination of besan and gram flour can give you a great feel in the morning, Even better than the exotic body washes

Sandal Powder

This has a cooling effect. I have a super sensitive skin and its gets burned easily. I have a paste of sandal and rose powder and apply it on my face. Within 15 minutes, The skin is back to its normal mode

Milk
I hate to drink milk. Ok I hate everything that is healthy for me. But I love to steal the milk fat and apply it. This is the best fairness cream ever known to mankind.

The list is very extensive. But it just is difficult to maintain and use it. The only drawback is it is not readymade. My aunt , my life saver in disguise offered me a solution. She was using "VICCO Turmeric Cream" and she suggested me . II watched the advertisment and  she pushed to use it. I started feeling the results in three days. Now I am happy user and hope it saves my skin in trouble

Rock to Sculpture

Every person we meet creates an impact on us. The way the impact works is quite surprising. Sometimes the impact created by a stranger is more than the impact by a close friend. I always consider life as a block of coal or a big piece of rock. The journey from Coal to diamond or Rock to sculpture takes a lot of time and can also be painful. It does not happen with a single person or with a single incidence. The conversation process is continuous and can happen till our last breath. We get better and better with age and experience. I have never managed to understand when a person reaches his best. Maybe the level is unattainable. Still changes, both ups and downs happen throughout our lives. I remember an innocent hyper girl who wore sensitivity on her sleeve. The smallest spark was enough to set her on fire. She was on the extreme of emotions. The emotions can range from Happiness, sorrow, loneliness and anger. Still the emotions controlled her and stole her sleep many nights. ...

Digital India - A shortcut to Safer India

Digital India – A vision by the government, An expectation by the youth, A mystery for the public What does digital India mean? This question which pops into everyone’s mind and heart when they hear the term. It may also seem as an unattainable fruit to some. This is true to some extent. But this will definitely create a great change in the life of every individual. More than anything, I see this as stepping stone towards a safer nation. Safe nation is slowly becoming a distant dream. Some blame the women. Some blame the men. But maybe both and to some extent the nation as a whole is also responsible. Men harass women because they think they are helpless and vulnerable. Women allow this because they think men are stronger. Indians are not heartless enough to allow a crime happen right in front of their nose. Sometimes they become worried about the consequences of helping others. Thanks to the laws and corruption. I have always wondered what would be the hope and thought of a ...

Foot Prints on Time

Is age just a number? I wonder within myself Or it could have been aloud I can no longer tell My ears are sharp, but my mind is preoccupied I try recalling the past But it seems like a distant memory Everything is a blur of multiple emotions I wish I could see through them At least relive a few; forget many But life does not work that way I feel weary in my bones I wish I could rest But the journey is still not over I hope it is not long as before Almost half is what I can do My knees tremble as I gaze behind My eyesight dims as the distance increases I have come a long way Through different phases and even eras I look at the age Is it just a number? Did I ask myself this before? Is my work done? Can I do anything else? The questions keep adding. Was it memorable? It was interesting Was I happy? I forgot to tick the box. Am I mature? Only time will tell The age might not be just a number anymore It is a reminder to let go It is a reminder to cherish the small things It is a reminder to...
