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.

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 of a bright coloured clothes and crazy patterns, today it's more about pastels and monochromatic sweaters, softer fabrics, muted colours ( grey, whites, blues, pinks ).
Here's a round up of the sweaters I wore. Believe me there are a gazillion other sweaters.
