SLAKE AND SATIATE

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...

Wishing all the readers an amazing year ahead. The new year is a time of self-reflection.So here is a page from my diary where I have mentioned five lessons that I learned from 2018.  1. The effectiveness of a joke does not lie in the tongue of the speaker but the ear of the hearer For me, 2018 was full of instances where my jokes were misinterpreted. Though humor is nice jokes can turn out to be ugly if it is beyond the comprehension of the listener.  2. Never let a fool kiss you or a kiss fool you That is a quote by Joey Adams and I can't agree more. (not just a quote but my favorite quote) 3. If going gets tough the tough get going I guess all of us have been through rough and tough times throughout the year. But there have been times equally pleasing. In short, we will surely have a brighter 2019 than its predecessor. 4.Love fearlessly I already have written an  entire post  about it. Truth is we can't expect to be loved if we don't love others with our e...

The last article on my website  Should we fall in love  focused on falling in love more often. This is the continuation in the series and emphasizes on what and how's of loving ourselves. Self-love is important to feel worthy, loved, and happy. So, the five keys to self-love are- 1.Understanding self-love- Loving oneself does not mean being perfect. The basic idea is to accept ourselves and then focus on improvising. Instead of waiting for another person to love you, better love yourself. 2.Away from toxics- Before cultivating habits to inculcate self-love, its important we dump habits that are doing bad to us. In a way, it develops the idea that we are important and nothing shall drag us down. It includes avoiding toxic people, eating less junk, not gossiping, etc. 3.Self-care- Numerous blog posts and youtube videos have been posted in this context. Drinking a cup of warm beverage, soaking in a warm bath, taking care of our skin, journalizing are just a handful of ways to s...

I fell in love a few days back!  Well, it was for lines that I read. It goes like-       "you are a mirror     if you continue to starve yourself of love               you will only meet people    who"ll starve you too      if you soak yourself in love     the universe will hand you those     who"ll love you too."                   - RUPI KAUR . It is so true and the writer has put it so beautifully in words that I have read this a hell lot of times after the first encounter. I thought the idea was worthy enough and could be talked about in a post. Well, it is not easy to fall in love, indeed we even fear to love ourselves. There is this constant fear of heartbreak and the recession that follows. So instead we choose to fall for materialistic things, for example, the car we want to buy, the ring we wear, ...

P arents are treasures.They are amazing people who support us.Even if we don't resonate much with them because of the age gap, we shall always keep them close and adore them.There are tonnes of reason we should do that. Here are the most convincing ones. 1.THEY ARE FAMILY There is something about relationships we are born with !They are probably the least selfish and the most nurturing ones.  It is always important in life to keep a certain set of people close to us,what's better then that finding them right at our homes.These can be the most natural bonding. 2.Success There are researches that actually  claim that here is a link between financial suc cess and ones relationship with their parents.May be this is because of the responsibility  one feel  for their parents. 3.Love,warmth and support Yeah!We are social beings.We all need people who support us.We need people who care for us and for whom we care.This, most certainly is essential for ...

YES! that is true. This post is about limiting our internet usage (mainly social media) for all the good reasons. All these platforms (Instagram, Facebook, what's an app) have been designed to be addictive. See, you first get a good snap, then filter or edit it, then you post it, and then you constantly check the reviews or likes you get (a lot of work). I read this book named  "Deep Work"  and there is an entire section in it about restricting internet use. That's a great book by the way. Though for many of us, quitting social media altogether can sound too much but that can be the solution to a lot of our problems and there are many ways we can put it to ACTION. 1. Quitting social media for a week or month The strategy is nothing new. People have used this strategy. You stop using social media for a particular time(probably longer than a week). That might feel painful in the beginning but you will thank yourself later. It frees your mind from the constant comparison...

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 de...
