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,...
There have been trying times and there have been truely blissful moments in the past. One such moment was the ensemble of my first year at the university. Man, it was both 😂.
Okay, let me just tell you an experience, honestly, being a fashion lover, I thought it would be so nice to dress up and attend the big night, and without even asking anyone what to wear, I wore a blue dress with white flowers on it, got ready, and dashed downstairs.
But, one of my friends was dressed up sooo casually, I second guessed that maybe I'm going a bit extra and I changed. Ugh, I remember being pissed at my college and the students who weren't extra-dressed. But anyway, I went to the college dressed in a jeans and my favorite brown T-shirt.Later I DID see a couple of students who were kinda dressed like me earlier. I thought, damn I should go home and change because I really wanted to like dress up for the event. I got home, dressed up yet again in that cute dress which made me think that I was going on a very romantic date.
I went to college smiling the whole time.I happened to be late at the ensemble due to my change-of-the-dress-fiasco. After I entered the campus and I went to the seating area,ALL THE STUDENTS WERE DRESSED UP CASUALLY. I felt so overdressed and embarresed, I dont even know why. The irony was that I happened to attend only like 30 mins of the 3 hr event. Anyway that was a stunning event and I thoroughly enjoyed the ensemble and also the attention later I got for being too overdressed.😏
Was I overdressed ? Comment your thoughts below, and also tell me any socially awkward scenario you faced just for being fashionable.😉
To top it all, it was so blurry! Anyways, I wore the blue dress with pretty white flowers on it and white peep-toe heels to go with it, and ofcourse my rudy old black specs, just for no reason. 😁
