Its 11:30 ‪on a Monday night‬, I’m on my laptop, Grey’s Anatomy opened on one tab and ‘Notes’ on the other. I’ve been asked to write about my future, something I’m not quite sure of, yet. It’s so weird to not know what’s going to happen, intimidating, overwhelming and exciting all at the same time. And for someone who likes to be ‘in control’ and plan ahead of things, its not a very comfortable position to be in. It’s daunting to not know what life has in store for you, you’re staring into oblivion and you’re scared and freaking out but you can’t do much about that.
So I’ll get to the ‘part’ of my future that i’m sure of- I want to make my family proud, I intend on being a more giving individual, a better version of my self.
I want to travel the world, to have different experiences, to meet new people, to be happy, to live my life being my happiest self.
As for my Mercurian story, it cannot start without mentioning a few people- My Tech Team- you guys are the real rockstars. Each and every one of you have been so amazing and wonderful to work with, I couldn’t have asked for a better squad. Thank you for contributing towards my growth. My heart is so full of love and admiration. Devyanshi, a friend I’ve made along the way who’s so passionate about the things that she does, its a delight to watch. Her energy is contagious.
What JMC and TMT has given me, its unparallal. They’ve given me a family away from family. They have given the confidence, made me a different person altogether, a girl who’s now ready to face the world while making a million posters and very recently, a girl with a writer’s instinct! So thank you for these unimaginable gifts and all the other things.
Most of our life is a series of images, they pass us by like towns on the highway. But sometimes, a moment stuns us as it happens. And we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment every part of it will live on forever. And Mercurian for me, is that moment.
TMT has come a long way from where we started, and I hope that it goes even further and touches the sky!

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra!  It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far  more convincing without the starry line of su

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money. Son Pari is also entitled to save Fruity from Kali Pari ( the main villain). Everyone wishes to have a fairy godmother like Son Pari at some point in their lives. A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone  because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic.

INDIAN MAKEUP TRENDS OVER THE YEARS

From Saira Banu in Padosan, Sridevi in Chandini, Karishma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai to our all time favourite Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and Mili in Khoobsurat, the fashion and makeup trends have been all fancy and crazy yet so aesthetic and elegant and these leading ladies are surely 'Goals'.  One of the most significant shifts that  have been observed over the years in the beauty industry is the ultimate evolution of make-up trends varying from vibrant and vivid looks to nude face concepts. Makeup can not be talked about separately when it comes to beauty and fashion,it is an expressive(and perceived to be expensive by men) art, which has evolved immensely over the past century and has vividly been an integral part of our culture. But what have been the major stages of this evolution? Let us take a dive in the past and follow up to the time of the millennials.  THE ERA OF SIMPLICITY(1910) -There was hardly any makeup and plain sarees with little or no detailin
