5 things I look forward to do in 21 days of locked down!

Amidst COVID-19, when our whole country is practising 21 days of locked down for our own safety.  I will not only be working from home, I will also include 5 positive things in my daily routine to have a healthy locked down days!

1) Self Care/Introspection/Meditating: Caring about oneself is most integral part of life. One should be in touch with ones emotions which we ignore on daily basis.One needs to spend time with oneself and try to tap down on the negative aspect of their emotions to get clear of one's anxiety and worries.

For me it is a kind of exercise where I will try to make my mind more healthy by recognising the negative or unwanted emotions within me so that I can discard them and work on the positive side of it. I will work towards my mind's peacefulness for a healthy well-being.

2) Spending time with my family: It's just been two days that I have started working from home and I realised there is so much our parents want to share with us. It's just we are so self centered and occupied sometimes in our regular routine that we are unable to give desired time to our parents. And interesting part is our parents never complain about the same. They just happily understand our routine and never become demanding of our time.  

I'll be sitting with my parents, listening to their stories and of course playing some intersting card games with them too. I will be doing this regularly not just these 21 days. 

3) Plantation: Growing plants requires patience and interest. I always had interest but I was lazy and impatient enough to not do it on regular basis. For beginners like me starting with planting coriander leaves is the easiest. I just did that!! And I hope to plant other different plants too in coming days.

4) Painting: I will focus on my creative side too. Sometimes in our busy lives we forget that all of us has a creative side and we should pamper that side too. So the crux of the matter is, I am back on to it!!

This painting is what I painted last, I guess.

5) Clean my room/ my desk: This is one of the most essential thing which I should be doing regularly and lately I haven't been able to do it. And I am on it!!!

This is what I am gonna do all these 21 days. What you gonna do? Do not forget to share it in the comments below. 

Also, stay home, stay safe and do not panic.

Together we can and together we will fight this COVID-19!

Comeback

I just noticed that my last post was in 2016! Pretty long time back.. I don't know why I wasn't writing all these years?
But from past sometime I feel like getting back to writing. Past gone years were exhausting especially emotionally. It was a roller coaster ride. From being handling past emotional issues to searching a suitable job I managed all at the same time. Life wasn't easy all these years and I am not cribbing about it either.

All these years have taught me a lot about humanity. They have given me broader perspectives towards world. They have given me insights, life has taught me struggle is a part of life.

I am pausing it right here now because I am unable to find words to continue this post and I just don't want to bulk my post with unnecessary chatter.

Demonetization

With each passing day demonetization turns out to be havoc in our lives. The poor implementation of the policy and no proper aid provided to people has indeed juggled our lives. Everyday new rules are created and then later revoked; our country has become butt of jokes all over. The hard hit community is the low income group like laborers, farmers, etc who don’t know how to cope up with demonetization and its severe effects. They don’t understand digitalization neither has bank accounts.  We all are confused, frazzled and left with no choice but to follow the new policy of new currency in circulation.

If I still recall two months back, all are lives and economy both were smooth. Then suddenly government takes a decision to ban Rs 500, 1000 highest currency notes in circulation and bring new notes to stop inflow of black money. We all got a sight of our way early New Year gift.  For first few weeks whole country was in shock and our economy was back to square one, a standstill situation. But now as time is passing, we all are getting familiar with demonetization and on a certain level most of us have welcomed this decision. Though some of us still feel that this decision is unfair and has affected our economy drastically, which is true but as we all know life isn’t fair, right? 

To eradicate a very serious issue like black money/corruption some bold decisions were mandatory and that’s what our government did. There are flaws, loop holes which cannot be denied but in a country like ours, which is the second largest populated country, a near to perfect plan can also miss the mark.

Conclusion

Now it’s nearly 2 months and whole country is trying to settle down with this way early new year gift, it would not be justified to give a verdict in nearly two months that demonetization will prove to be a boon or bane for the economy. Currently our economy is on standstill and we look forward for a spinning 2017. 

Happy Diwali!

As usual after a very long time I am writing my blog. Blogging is one thing which is constant in my life, though I am unable to write regularly and then I start missing my blog.

And that's the reason why my most of the posts starts from 'after a very long time..'

Festive season is here and we all are almost done with our shopping. Diwali has always been my favorite festival not because of the lights but also because of the enthusiasm it brings in one self.

I do have some really dreadful memories of crackers hitting me on Diwali but I still love this festival.

There is this togetherness this festival brings in. People meet and exchange gifts. Community Diwali mela's are organized. Games are played. People cheer and hoot and have so much fun together.

People decorate their houses with Rangoli, diya's, flowers and what not. There is so much zeal among people on this festival. This festival brings so much of happiness among people and that's what I enjoy the most.

And how can we forget the most important part of the celebration, the Pooja! Family pray together to almighty for their well-being and happiness through out the year!

Here I wish a very safe and a prosperous Diwali to all! :)

Candidly

We have dreams. We allure them throughout our lives. But what important is do we really care to unfold them. At least try to unfold them? I am not sure if we can fulfill each and every dream of ours..
We grow with dreams, we die with dreams.. There is little we are able to do between these path.

In school we hardly acknowledge our dreams. We are so busy in thinking how to come 1st in the class that we forget that life doesn't end there. I still remember my school days where only thing which used to be in my mind was how I can stood 1st in the class. Though this never happened. But yes, like all other kids this was the only thing I had in my mind as a kid.

Now as a young adult I realize life has so better aspects than scoring 100% in Maths. I am still struggling in lot of verticals of life but I guess struggling is a never ending process.

I have dream to be an entrepreneur. But I am unsure about the journey. It's not I am less determined or doesn't possess perseverance. Its just I don't know where this journey of mine will lead. I am doing my bit.

Though from a family of service class little I hold as the inherent gift of entrepreneurship. But it hasn't changed my dream of being entrepreneur..

For once I feel I want to live my dream....

Beauty Care for Beautiful Skin

Pimples!!! One of the most common problem we face it on our face mainly, and that too often.

Girl's nightmare as it is said!

Now the question is what to do when pimple pops up! What homemade remedies can cure acne?

And when we know the worst part of acne is those acne marks..

Homemade remedies takes time but are effective. 

Pimple doesn't take much time to dry. Maximum 1 week ( if proper care is taken) but annoying is the acne marks which takes much more time to go.

In this post I'll share some of very important points how we can take care of our skin and kick pimple away.

First, we should never squeeze our pimples. And if by mistake pimple has squeezed, instantly put lemon juice on it.

Second, Wash your face at least 2 times a day with effective face wash. Mild face wash is recommended for extremely sensitive skin.

Third, Avoid exposing acne prone skin/acne to Sun. Use a good sunscreen lotion on your face.

Fourth, Eating too much oily and junk food. Avoiding them can also help in reducing acne.

Fifth, Use ice for some cooling effect and it also helps in reducing inflammation.

Now I'll also discuss some best homemade remedies:

1) Lemon juice mixed with cucumber juice: Apply this on your face before sleeping you'll notice a change in some days. Not only it will reduce acne, it will also make your skin glow.
*Quantity mixed is according to ones requirement.

Tip: Lemon is sometimes hard on sensitive skin which results in itching so cucumber juice can be used little more than lemon juice while mixing.

2) Use Neem leaves: Neem leaves are considered to have antibacterial properties. Make the neem paste and apply on face once or twice a week.

3) Tomato juice: Before bed time use tomato juice on face and give rest to pimples.

4) Honey: Not only it reduces pimple inflammation, it also helps in making skin glow. Regular application of Honey with lemon juice helps in reducing pimples and their marks.

5) Tea tree oil: These days tea tree is widely used in reducing acne and their marks because it is a natural antiseptic. Though it's expensive but it is one of the best way to reduce acne and acne marks.
Tip: Dilute the oil before applying. Or buy diluted one. Because Tea tee oil if not used with proper care can result in itching, redness, dryness and irritation.

PS: Tea tree oil should only be used as external application ((topically). It should never be consumed. It is then hazardous to health.

Last but not the least don't be stressed and live happy :-)
