Chaand Chupa Badal Mein

 At night when the stars light up my room, I sit by myself, talking to the moon.           Tonight is a very special night for me, and it's Kojagiri Pournima (Sharad Pournima as some might say). Ever since a child, year after year, we celebrate this day by sitting in the night flooded with the light of the full moon, drinking milk.  Since moon is supposed to be closest to the earth on this day, the moon rays are said to have curative properties. The vessel containing the sweet is prepared and left in the moonlight to be consumed later.           According to Ayurveda, the `pitta' or acidity aggravates at the end of the monsoon season. This is the reason why cooling foods are recommended to neutralise the pitta and balance it. The consumption of cold milk and rice flakes is supposed to be a good remedy for pitta.           Coming back , I remember my mother would make me sit by the window, because the full moon could be seen only from there, with the delicious milk right in fron

Two truths and a Lie

           I'm sure you've heard of this game. Well if not, let me tell you. A person tells you three things about himself. One of them is a lie and other two are true. You guess the lie, and thats it. I think our entire life can be categorised as two truths and a lie. We can guess the lie, but we also have 4 options, either believe its the truth or believe its a lie, even efter knowing the lie we can keep pretending it's the truth, and even if we know it's the truth, we say its a lie because we trust our instincts.               Haven't we all lied at some point ? Hell, I've lied just to stay back home because I was too lazy to go to school. Everybody lies. Everybody tells the truth, according to their convenience, or probably it's the truth. How do we know which one is which? Many promise to stay in touch and never stay. Many promise you the world but never try their best. Many people lie.Maybe its the truth at that point but later it converts into a lie.

Sweater Weather

           Sunny Side Up. I wish there was an option like this for the weather besides eggs. These days I can barely see the sun ☀ . I love rain, because its dramatic and romantic ( obviously all credit goes to Bollywood ), but I love to soak up the heat and light from the sun. I'm a total beach bum to be honest. But sometimes, cozy corners, comfortable clothes, some rain and a cuppa tea truly makes my day.  As the sun's gone missing and the weather is pretty chilly, I like to wear sweaters all the time. It keeps me warm since I'm always a little cold ❄ in the rainy season. I have like a gazillion sweaters because I like over-sized clothes. They are just so comfy. Initially, I didn't like wearing sweaters or jumpers because it made me look like a tiny bug about to explode. Up until I grew up ( well that's debatable ), I found myself embracing that look.  Trend wise, I think sweaters are back with a bomb and are in it for the long haul. If the last monsoon was more o

Pursuit of Un-Happyness

                 Just yesterday I happened to watch a movie called Pursuit of Happiness. It led me to tears, then led me to smiles, and then lastly to a place where I was wondering. All our lives we strive to be happy. WE THINK going to a reputed college for education would make us happy. We think falling in love would make us happy. We think being successful in our our lives would make us happy. But only if it were true. Is is that only after doing or getting the thing we want makes us happy ? I couldn't help but wonder, if all the things I want are given to me right now, can I be blissfully happy and possibly want nothing more in life ?                Most of our lives revolve around work, relationships and money, but we still look for something. Still seek the one thing which possibly makes our lives happy. Still think that after I get a certain thing I'll be happy. It's not wrong to want something. We all want it. But the problem with that is, we inevitably become a par

Ruffles

       Who doesn't like ruffles ? As for me, I have a tendancy to like them even more, you'll get to know about them later. 👀. Anyways coming back to ruffles, I think they can make anything work. From Indian wear to Western, ruffles make a statement. Somehow ruffles accentuate your ootd from basic to chic.       Just like the dress I've worn, it makes it more chic and stylish just by seeing the ruffles. For today's look I've worn a navy blue dress with with ruffles on shoulders and at the bottom of the dress. I like wearing heels so I wore heels with light blue and dark blue crossovers. For accessories I wore dark blue studs with silver design, which matched with my carryon.  I hope you like my ruffles !  Dress from head to toe : Ajio  Earrings & Purse : Local Market (old purchase)  Makeup : Nothing except Lipstick : KayBeauty (KaybyKatrina)  Eyeliner : Lakme I'll see you in the next one.  Byee, Anu 💝

Mellow in Yellow

   I'm kinda relaxed in yellow nowadays, and that's because yellow adds to the little pop of colour one needs during these grey clouds and times. Honestly, 202o is the worst year so far and not denying it.  For today (actually, days before cuz I already posted this picture on my Instagram), I used a yellow eye-liner which matched with my outfit of a flowy forget-me-not yellow dress and decided to go all out and try something new. Also I did some colouring for the eyes which is very subtle. I can't remember but any nude - warm color is good   This is my final look. Tell me what do you like about it ! Follow me on Instagram  ! Bye for now,  Anu

Just a Girl in a Black Dress

 I happen to be that kind of a girl which doesn't go out that much. I don't. But. There's a big BUT (T) in the middle.(A teacher I used to hate in Primary School said this a bit too much). Anyway I DO like to dress up, as you can see. With the pandemic going on and stuff, I happened to organize my wadrobe, which led me to find this dress which I'd almost never wear but I loved it so much I thought why not put it in my blog ?  For my #ootd I wore a black dress with like shimmery stuff sewn in it, paired with black studs for the jewellery. Its like I'm going to a club or something. (I have never tho.) Actually this dress was gifted me a very long time ago, by my Mami who lives in New Jersey, USA. I'm surprised how the heck I still fit into that dress. For the make-up, I went for the smokey eye look and a nude lipstick to subtle the eye look. The lipstick was one of the cooler-toned nude lipsticks which goes quite well with dramatic eyes. Just like me. What can I s

A Day where My Mom Gets 1k Subscribers on YT! 💯

 21st September 2020  >  Over Everything  It's so surreal to watch our own family members grow. My heart swells by seeing her hard work. Hi !                      My mother is like the epitome of hard work. Nothing can stop her really when she's really into something, and always it has to be a little diffrent from everyone and everything. She settles for nothing less. This is  an appreciation post for my dear mumsie and  I'm super proud of her. She has done everything for her You Tube, from burning midnight oil to overcoming the fear of being judged. I wish I was more like her, in many ways. I hope I can make her proud some day.  Okay so I had no idea that she was so close to 1000 subscribers initially, but I knew that subscribers were kinda increasing thanks to her because she wouldn't stop tell me about it. But when she was close to her 1k I was more excited than her !   I think everyone knows how I don't really celebrate anything but I really wish for the bigg

Blue Hues

It's nice na ? to experiment ? To be something more than what you were , aka your old self.  Whether you like something or not, it's decided when you are willing to experiment. I'm super skeptical to make any change but yet again, I tried. Tell me in the comments below whether you like to experiment or not. I did experiment with my make-up (as you can see in the photos), I wore a green eyeliner for the very first time in my entire life. I did such minimal makeup that I'm not able to distinguish between the no make-up look (lol).Also, all the while I was missing something traditional (I had stayed in my pj's for so long that it's UNBELIEVABLE ).I wore big silver earrings with delicate flowers on it. This dress was an old purchase for mom which I stole from her wadrobe (no surprises there obviously). It was raining so I *tried* some artsy pictures.  Tell me how do you like my ootd ?  Follow me on Instagram !  Bye for now,  Anu

Beige Please !

Hehehehe ... See what I did there for the title ? 😂 I do have a tendancy of laughing at my own jokes.  Well, jokes apart, beige is a go-to colour for everyone. It's a very muted colour and also the most influential colour. By influential I meant it goes with anything and everything. It can be used to make the look a little muted or subtle. Any color will go with beige, but you gave to be a little subtle for that. May it be blue or green, but style it a little diffrently, and it will give you an edge. Its pouring really heavily outside and I won't mind a cup of hot chocolate and a cozy oversized beige sweater and a sofa in which I can live forever.  In today's outfit I have worn a blue skirt and a beige sweater. It's kinda an oversized sweater so I did the classic tug and roll underneath with a rubber band ( which btw I have lost it yet again. I swear rubber bands have invisible legs and the minute I remove them they run away from me. Relatable anyone? ). Also I have th

                                    Hey guys! This is my first blog post so please bear with me ... and lets get started. As we all know that tshirts and jeans are an essential part of our wardrobe which we use daily or must certainly have as a part of our closet ..so why not style them differently and make your day by turning heads along the road ? For today I paired a stripped back t-shirt with a medium light blue denim jeans which is I guess essentially a part of regular wear ... I love Smokey eyes as this increases the oomph factor.

Red Dress By Magic

 Well, as I write this blog, its raining cats and dogs and I kinda miss summer.  I miss the sun on my skin.  So I thought, why not just create the vibe of it.  This outfit literally screams of summer. Let me tell you why. When I bought this dress, all I could make out of it was a beach. And sun. And tan. The list would go on and on about summer, and I'm not kidding, really. The dress I'm wearing can also be worn as an off shoulder summer-dress which is why it makes this dress perfect to wear.  I added little flowery earrings to go with the dress and some messy hair. I added black strappy sandals to go with the look. Beat that, rain! Ps: I'm sure you must have heard the song red dress. Enjoy the photos ! 💕 Do you miss summer too? Tell me on Instagram ! Until we meet again,  Anu
