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

Hey Ocean, Here I come

If you could plan your death, how would you plan it? #PlanUrDeath  This is a very interesting thought. The thought itself is enough to chill our bones. Death is something which is beyond our control. It is the unconquered kingdom. It is something which we cannot predict nor decide. It happens in its own phase, in its own time and in its own style. Still given as a chance. It would be the most exciting and interesting event to plan.  My death will be combination of the things I love. I would try to make it as interesting as possible.  Goodbyes are very important to me. It gives a proper ending to our life. The problem with death is we never have time for good bye. The person suddenly disappears leaving a vacuum behind. This leaves the loved ones feeling lost. I will write a proper goodbye to all the important friends and enemies. Sometimes the people who make us cry are the people who has created a great impact on them. I would try to forgive the people who have hurt...

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. ...

30 minutes

The train came to a halt with a jerk. I gripped the support railing for balance. So did the people around me. Something felt different. The people and the surrounding was new and strange. I felt as though I was transported magically to an alien land. The people around me was busy in their own world. Some in their thoughts and some in their phones. At every stop a war brewed between passengers fighting over to get down and trying to board the train. I calmly stood there trying to understand the surroundings. Yet I could sense a Storm inside me. Like a programmed robot, I got down in a station. I stood there watching the train continue its journey. It was then I realised. Where the hell am I and who am I. I had no memory of both the things or anything for that matter. I sat in the nearest stone bench and tried to absorb the activity around me. I glanced at the phone and it read 9.00 pm. I tried to make a call and could not remember the pattern. The activity around me slowly became thinn...
