A letter to the younger self

Dear younger me,

Hi! I hope you are doing well. I know you don't like your chubby face right now but trust me you'll miss it when you grow up. I know those stupid pimples will always appear before anything special, don't worry they'll go with time. 
You might think you are not the prettiest or the funniest girl everyone wants to be around, but who cares? You are much more than your appearance. 
You messed up a silly test. It’s okay. Life is much beyond your class tests. You'll get to know pretty soon. 
There will be times when you would want to change, to adjust with others. Make sure that in the process you don't lose yourself somewhere.
Don’t starve yourself, eat that cheesy pizza slice. 
Bunk that lecture, climb the fence, sing abruptly and dance to your heart’s content.
I hope you realise the fact that you don't have to be afraid of anything. There is nothing to lose yet. 
You’re going to experience some amazing things. Humble yourself or the universe will do it for you. The world is much bigger than you and it doesn’t revolve around you.
There is no mistake that cannot be corrected. Go ahead, learn from them.
There will be moments when you would want to give up, don't let that hopelessness drive you insane. 
You'll get past it. Just keep on moving. Everyone is fighting the same battle. 
Don't let any person with his senseless ego put you down. Know your worth and show them theirs. 
Don’t let other people rent space in your head for free. That’s valuable real estate. What other people think of you is none of your business. Be you and let go. 
Life will be nothing like you had imagined. I’ll just say that it might be a thousand times better. It’s going to take a series of failures and every one of them will make you feel like you’re continually on the verge of an impending doom. 
And most importantly, I hope you know your dreams are important. It will be the only sparkle you'll see in your eyes. 
I love you and hope you learn to love yourself at an earlier stage than I did.

Oh, and P.S. grow your bangs out, they do make you look silly.

Sincerely,

Much older and much wiser me

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 l...

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. This s...

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 de...
