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,...

Quarantine reads with Anu


For many of those lucky enough to be able to stay home during the coronavirus pandemic, 
books have taken on a special meaning.
 
Hey guys! So I have been doing a lot of reading during this time and I thought to myself, why not share my favorite books. Lets see what I've been upto these last couple of days.
My current favourite books which I'm reading aaare :



Harry Potter

        -J.K. Rowling

         Obviously Harry Potter will always be on top of my list and there are too many reasons for it. This book takes you to so many places in your imagination that you didnt know existed. 
I'm not going to bore you with the deets because you'll get to know whats in it after you read it. 



2 States

        -Chetan Bhagat

        I had bought this book a looong time ago and this book is a must read too. This book is close to my heart for various reasons. As an Indian I can totally relate to the book with many aspects. All and about, this book is awesome.



Fault in our Stars

        -John Green

            I'm always the one who gets mushy, although I don't seem like. This book is read by me a couple of million times already. The feeling of being alive and in love surpasses everything and yet, life happens. Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.


Twilight

        -Stephenie Meyer

            This book is actually the first book bought by me and it has a funny story behind it. When I was in 8th standard. I was watching some movie and accidently I changed the channel and the movie being displayed was Twilight. I was utterly smitten with Robert Pattinson at that time and only for him (also the story ) I had bought this book to imagine him more perfectly.



How to be a Bawse

         -Lilly Singh

This is a self help book which I bought a couple of months ago because I was a fan of Lilly Singh. I saw her videos on You Tube which inspired me and wondered how she made it this far. This book is about how to conquer life and I'm surely treading on the right path because of her book. 



Till we meet soon, happy reading !

Tshirts and jeans pairings that'll save your day!

                                    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. The light pink lips also make the most of this outfit. We can also pair this outfit with white sneakers or the sandals that I have worn ... I love these sandals because they feel so wonderful ! For the second outfit: I have worn  a blue tshirt with a high waist Flare hem jeans with black heels and im in love with this oufit #ootd ...

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
