Why is everyone gushing over turmeric.

Turmeric is a new trend.

Maybe not new but a trend. There are a lot of Pinterest and blogs already on how to include this in our diet. Most of its popularity boils down to it having great anti-inflammatory properties. It has already made an appearance on shelves of a lot of grocery stores in many countries. The benefits of turmeric are just not limited to physical benefits. It has been proven to improve memory and mood. Now curcumin is the constituent to be appreciated for its incredible health benefits but turmeric just contains 3% of curcumin. Often curcumin, not turmeric is used for testing the benefits of turmeric. 

Besides having anti-inflammatory properties, it is a powerful antioxidant.


This is not the only Indian spice that's extremely healthy. There is also ginger, black pepper, cinnamon to name a few. The best thing about spices is they provide flavor while adding no calories, hence ideal for weight loss. Also, turmeric adds beautiful color to a dish. Turmeric is most definitely a magical spice!


Sending lots of love,

Are you bored?

A lot of people were acutely bored during the lockdown and it persists. The pandemic has seized most of our routine activities. Personally, whenever I have felt bore for long, it always leads up to frustration, demotivation, and anger. Hence, that is the last way I want to feel.  It is urgent to understand and eliminate such emotions.   Every emotion that we feel is trying to communicate something to us. Lack of work does increase our chances of feeling bored. But that isn't the only cause. Lack of quality of work that we do is the leading cause of such an emotion. We shall analyze the kind of work we are doing in our field. Quality of work is most important to feel content. Someone who has no objective can never feel content or motivated. It is crucial to have at least one passion and strive in that particular field. If not so, we will always be bored, and lose the idea of time. There are countless opportunities in this digital world. Hence, it is foolish to complain about not hav

Your crush vs your guy.

1. Your crush is probably one of those people who can make you feel the most uncomfortable. He can make your head spin, make you feel weak in your knees, and get you to blush when you don't want to. While your love interest is someone you are the most comfortable around. 2. Even if your crush is a total loser, that won't harm you but an awful lover can stink your life. You can end up placing your crush on a pedestal even though he is an idiot. You would glorify all of his credentials and overlook all his ineptness. 3. A friendly gesture from your crush can leave you awestruck but even though your guy goes miles for you, he can still fail to win you. (the heart wants what it wants). 4. Your love interest seems to be a net flix subscription to you but your crush looks like a membership to the clubhouse. As in the Netflix subscription, you can get easily compared to the inaccessible membership to the clubhouse. 5. Your crush has a very short shelf life, on the other hand, your l

Why so obsessed with beauty?

Why are we so obsessed with our appearances. Does this dimension of our life deserve all that botheration? The race to look the best is doing more harm to women than body hair. This is not to praise the twinkle in our eyes or the glory in our smile, but to make a point that our obsession with beauty is mad-crazy. The way I look at it someone's attractive looks do no good to you. The present beauty standards are undermining, distracting, and destructive. It affects women more, on average women own 40 cosmetics. As long as you are not aspiring to be eye candy or to join show-biz, there is no need to freak so much about your looks. Can we just stop talking about who wore what at the party? Can we breathe and let people be. It is high time that we admire each other for confidence, sass, talent. Let us complement each other on what we do rather than how we look. We have had enough of airport looks, the gym looks, the event looks, behind scene looks, and many more, paparazzi never seems
