 Hello Everyone, Happy New Year!! As always, the new year is full of possibility and hope- just think of  all the things you can accomplish and change! What are your goals for yourself for this year?

Ladies, what are your resolutions for 2021?

While I love classic dressing, I'm also a fan of dipping my toe into trends- and right now, there are plenty to love. I've really loved nothing more than tank paired with a great denim pants or joggers and it's quickly become one of my go-to outfit combinations. This tank is one that I'll be able to pair with the majority of my wardrobe which is great for versatility. I love anything that I can repurpose over and over again.

I'm all for road testing different looks but these are the ones that ones that have really stuck with me over the last few months- I can't get enough of them.


1. TIE DYE

This has been doing the rounds for a few months but I'm really enjoying embracing this trend because of its fun and vibrant vibe.

          
                       


2. OVERSIZED TEE WITH DENIM

Every time I do this I like that it gives me such a great street style vibes. While a pair of sunglasses and my favorite white sneakers helped tie the look together.


3. WHITE ON WHITE

White is my absolute favorite color. There's something so perfect about wearing white on white for a summer day. It's just the kind of light and airy look that's ideal for wearing to everything from the beach to cocktails, and can easily take on a casual or dressy vibe depending on the pieces your pair together.



4. DENIM JACKETS

Denim jackets have always been one of my favorite trans-seasonal staples and the right jacket to pop on over a dress or with a tee.

5. LONG SUMMER DRESSES

I have acquired quite the collection of maxi summer dresses simply because I wear them non-stop over the warmer months. Whether it's a fun pretty floral print or a sleek.

Hello beautiful people!! Wanna go out, people?? No Way!!! Go inwards instead!! A great many lessons are being revealed in the Year 2020. Many are questioning the happenings in the world right now, while many are looking for answers deep within. The Planet Earth is looking for Balance. Realize the severity of these times that we are all living in. Each one of us is being tested on this planet as things are unfolding. 

We are being conditioned to believe that all we ever need to know can only be found in these electronic boxes and media. No doubt everyone needs information to survive on this planet but that does not mean that you should blindly believe and follow everything that you're being fed.

We have unlimited strength embedded in our DNA. However difficult these times may be for many throughout the world, just keep reminding yourself and everyone around you that this Global event is teaching us all to derive strength from within. We will all come out stronger.



The authorities and powers to be... their reports can sometimes be the truth and often half-truths and deceptive to the world. This can create fear, chaos, mental confusion and fatigue to all the people, and becomes a way for them to Rule and Control your life. Remember that Fear is the key to control. 

You begin to feel helpless and hopeless and surrender to whatever their ways are.

Don't block the desire to know yourself on a deeper level to find the truth and the answers. Do not shut your creative drive to manifest your own reality of what is. Thought forms are vibrational blueprints that hold instructions for manifesting reality. You need to realize that you are incredibly whole beings and have an inner power which will automatically create outer balance in the world and necessary in these rubbish times.

Rest and Recovery and Hygiene are very essential parts of these times and this is a wake up call for all to make Health your first priority. Remember the healthier your body, the stronger the connection to your soul. Everyone should try and sit in Meditation. Trust me as I say this out of experience that it has immense power to heal yourself and the world.

 Hello Everybody, welcome to my blog. Firstly, be safe and eat all the yummy food. And come cook with me and don't forget to comment if you try this out. Super definitely cook something at home, it's fun!

Masala pasta is not just liked by the kids, working couples and even adult parents. Typically it is enjoyed in the late morning breakfast, but can also be eaten for lunch and dinner too.

Well, to be honest, I am not a huge fan of pepper-based recipes and I try to avoid as much as possible. I feel it unnecessary increases the spice level of any dish, even though it is a better option in terms of health. Having said that, pepper-based recipes are very common in my house, because my father just loves it. 

I personally like the plain tomato sauce. I even sometimes add chilli sauce to make it a tangy and spicy combination masala pasta. Finally coming to spices, I have added red chilli powder, garam masala and some turmeric.

3. 1 onion
4. 1/2 tsp turmeric
5. 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
6. 2 tsp tomato sauce
7. 1/2 salt
8. 1/2 garam masala
9. 1/4 capsicum
10. 1 tomato

STEPS :-

1. Firstly, boil pasta! Whenever you boil, add water 1 tsp oil  also 1/2 tsp salt.

 Hello Everyone! I hope you all have a fantastic week..What are your plans this week? What are you reading? For me it seems like the the weeks are all bleeding together and time has kind of stopped, but also seems to be hurtling at full force towards September..Not sure if I am ready for that!

Today I'm spending some time making some content for this week. I've got a busy week ahead! I have also been playing around with my Insta reels..

For these months I also picked books that I have wanted to read for a while(in some instances this means years) and books that have been recommended to me..Here is a lovely little stack of some of my favorite authors..What's one book you have wanted to read for a while? Which ones should I read first?What is stopping you from reading it?


I spend yesterday morning finishing the last 100 pages of The Mother I Never Knew and this morning I started reading The World's Best Inspiring Stories. I am about 50 pages in and I am already in love and have so many questions. And I can't wait to devote more time to it this evening.Have you read this book??


This book is beautiful inside and out.I am in love with how the book looks when the dust jacket is off!

Do you read with the dust jacket on or do you take it off and pray that you get an oily finger on the physical book? I can never read with the dust jacket on, I am going to ruin it. Unless it has the plastic covering over it. I loveeee that sound. One of my favorite ASMR sounds while reading..😁

First of all, I loved the style of writing throughout this book..And I love the opening to this book! The atmosphere it creates is so powerful and moody.

I am going to take my time with this one and I think I will be rewarded for it. I just finished the first section today and boy has so much happened! I still find myself thinking of this book a lot.

I really want to read more books that are inspired by true events..I also love the time period that this book was set in..

Have you ever read a short story collection? Or are you a novel type of person??

Hey guys ! I really hope you're all doing okay...What a difficult few weeks/ months.. I keep trying to do something new and creative to Lockdown...and not just played Ludo and made 4567367 round trips to the refrigerator..


Taking of the quarantine,

I know this is very rubbish time...Many people have not been able to go to their hometown due to Lockdown, they are stuck somewhere... A lots of us are missing out on celebrating our birthdays, farewells, graduation or just going to a walk in the park to be honest ! But right now there is no use in thinking about all this. Now all people have to stay safe at home and use some good time... That's exactly what I will be talking about here today - All the things we can do while quarantined! S scroll down and let's get right to it..

1. Fam Jam

To tell you honestly, I am liking this idea of staying indoors and experiencing this huge shift in the world from hustle to peace.. Just hope the bad news ends soon and we can all live happily ever after.. You know how we always complained about being so busy in our respective lives that we didn't even have the time to share even a single meal with our families...Before the lockdown, everyone was busy in their own small world. But now everyone is staying at home. We all are quarantined in, all we have is time! Drag out the time , struggle to cook breakfast together... Trust me it is so much fun watching my dad trying to flip a Dosa like a prof chef! These last few days have made me realize how I missed this..The little things and the joy of playing cards, carom together...Take advantage of this time to reconnect with your family!


2. Online Courses / Reading Books

Everyone is at their home due to the lockdown. And now everyone has a lot of time. So all of you should make good use of this free time. You can learn some new things sitting at home, due to today's world being digital, you can learn a lot from home. Do some online courses in whatever field you are interested in. And try to learn something new. If you are interested in reading books, then read the books.. It will make you feel very well and get peace... I am reading books these days. So I will give you the same advice that you too should read books and enjoy some new things.



3.Try your hand at the lost hobbies

Try to remember that old drawing in your first day of school or college...or the guitar you bought in your first year? Take them out, dust them off and get down to your hobbies right away!It is very important to do things that give you happiness.. Explore whatever is sacred to you and what you feel drawn to be it Art , Music, Dance ,Adventure, Nature,Spirituality...Make an effort to smile often and don't take life so seriously..The hobby that you wrote about in your school, has been calling you out for a long while now...So just get to it!


4.DIY Self care

It is very important to take care of our skin..We are stuck with nothing but our mom's DIY hacks...You can take your own 20 days glow challenges and apply all the DIY packs.. And Get  nice hot champi from your mom! 

5.Plan, make to do lists and dream on!

One thing you should always keep in mind is that before starting any new work, do its planning..And start working according to plan..It will give you a lot of benefits..Now you are all quarantined, why not use this time to set goals and actually break it into a list of achievable things..Taking my example, I have already created my new instagram page..And am curating so many creative content ideas to rust into when the lockdown is over! Be natural and playful..Express freely..Stay honest to yourself and everyone..Have an open mind...

sitting with a bottle of coke in hand... As I mesmerizingly watch these ethereal clouds, creating beautiful forms the depth of the dark gray sky, questioning things around me for better understanding....



And suddenly I wonder ... in the magnanimity of understanding things around me do I truly know myself?



Am I the girl who want to live life simple and try to find happiness in the simplest things, am I the girl who want to do something different, am I the girl who people judge when she walks down the street, am I the girl who people talk about when she sits by herself staring out the window, am I the girl people look at keep away or am I the girl people think about nothingness?

because...I am not a mannequin or a perception or a thought of another, I'm not living to be discovered by others but to be discovered by myself .

The questions I've been asking all along have been wrong, the idea of myself I've had all these years has been wrong, it's been hampered with, pulled, deformed and shaped by things and people around me..

It's never been about me...
I turn a little with discomfort, put down my coke bottle in discomfort and think again,

who am I ?
            And that's when the process of finding myself truly began...🍒



I looked at myself as a tree as it grew from small to large..🌳 whether it is a hard sun or a storm, it always stands firmly. I looked for myself in the books 📘 I read and the words I say, in the vastness of my thoughts and the vagueness of my life, in the gestures I do and the feelings I feel..I looked and thought and wondered and finally found the answer..

I am a butterfly on the earth..🌺  It always sits on colorful flowers and enjoys the smell of it....😃 I am the wind, I change direction....🌍

Magic is where I found myself, there's magic in my soul....😍
