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.

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 ?

Bye for now,
