Read between the lines

You need no search at the self-help shelves to understand life and your own self, even a simple folktale can be an ultimate eye-opener if you're just willing to read between the lines .

50 shades of Grey, thru my eyes

A complete nonsense-filled -twilight-fan-fiction.  You might claim it’s not my cup of tea since I’m not even a fan of romance novels and how can I ever possibly tolerate an erotica like this. Frankly, that’ s digressing from the point for I appreciate and am highly fond of reads which are well-written with words and syntax capable of blowing minds. This though is a major failure and I unfortunately went against my ‘Life is too short...

All you need to fix

There will be no great thing in the world if nobody's there to say it is. Even winning a lottery would be of no significance for a pauper if he chooses to call it an ordinary event (which I totally believe he won't) . The same applies when it comes to nerve-wrecking scenarios. Getting an answer wrong transforms many into a complete loser in their own head when it's human nature to make mistakes. The case here is, we put labels on events and...

The spritz hunt

After a year of indulgence in the notes of wild strawberries and drenching myself with the pride of a Marc Jacob's product in grip, it's finally the time to wave goodbye. My Daisy Hot Pink perfume is soon to be disposed and replaced.  Hence, this post is going to be about the journey spoilt with choices and the chosen one. Just like shopping for clothes and shoes, I love fragrance-shopping. In actuality, I enjoy it the most for a few glaring...

Tweed Jacket

Tweed jacket from topshop Tweed jacket first gained its fame by keeping the legendary fashion icon, Mademoiselle Coco Chanel warm further popping glam to her signature dangly pearls. The staple piece came back to regain its status in the fashion world sometime ago and now it has been named a wardrobe-essential. Don't be surprised if I were to call it the new addition to my layering pieces. The truth is I'm too bored with my cardigans and G2000...

Brain-boosters

Hold your breath folks, I'm about to surprise you with some shocking yet heart-soothing facts! i Was THIS shocked! Recently, Glamour released its list of food rich in brain-boosting nutrients. The chosen ones are said to make you think quicker, concentrate harder and of course be smarter. Strawberry, blueberry, yogurt, prawns and spinach are some which made the entry. They were the ordinary, commonly-known ones, causing no impact to my system....

What a skirt man!

You might have measured the pencil skirt using your ruler, who knows, but this time around the fashion world has evolved letting us don a ruler inspired skirt instead. As quirky as it sounds, the piece   exactly typifies the word, jolly modeling the measuring tool  in a literal manner. The way things are going somewhat alerts me, how seethed mr.eraser must be hunting for designers to please. Perhaps it's just a season way to see more...

A shelter for fiction

This afternoon, since I had a little free time before my siesta, I utilized it to find and arrange the books I have read. And as soon I managed to collect all of them for each was left at different places, reality hit me hard! How am I supposed to arrange them in the general space I have allocated to keep books, which is to be exact, under my table? This is like way too many to be squeezed there as I already have stacks (yes plural) of books ruling...

Tikki Tikki What?

Totally!t As soon as my School-Based Experience is over and the Raya holidays wave goodbye, the assignments will get piled up once again. Setting aside 3 lesson plans and the time-consuming corporate video we have to create, storytelling is another huge agenda to be prepared and endured. Not enough of  the singing and poem-writing activities the previous semester, this time around we have a subject solely focused on storytelling in primary...

Confession indeed

I can't fathom the courage I have to risk waking up late tomorrow, possibly adding another not-so-glam 'L' on my attendance, but since I'm already here, only fairy-multimedia-mother/father can save me! Nothing of dire importance, just dropping by to brag about my new read. Perhaps the word 'brag' is an overstatement, so do kindly ignore my jolly impaired vocab. The novel is a legal thriller by John Grisham entitled 'The Confession'. I know it's...

Bag-Saver

It's never easy to get a thing from our handbags isn't it? Be it the keys or a small pen, we often have to fumble our way into all corners of our bag just to reach it, and at a few unfortunate circumstances, we have no choice but to make the poor thing barf in public only to extract the needed content. However, if it is a bowling bag that we are talking about, by all means let's dismiss it at this, but what if it's a large tote?? Hell will indeed...

Scale to my favor

Do you know the feeling you get when stepping on the bathroom scale and it shows a drop? It's like a buy 1 free 1 sale at your favorite designer boutique, it's like an ice cream giveaway at Baskins, it's like a holiday on Monday, such a happy scene even beating the proverbial cloud nine feel. And that happened to me today. I was flabbergasted in fact, as it was just yesterday I felt like I have put on weight. Now having the scale pointing to my...

A Platitude!

While I yearn for a mere cake, God chose to give me a yummylicious chocolate cake with frosting instead. Feeling so privileged to be loved and cared by all. Half of the day is done, can't wait for the rest to bring much joy, for I absolutely sure it will. Let's put this macbook to sleep and wake up in a heavenly place, life is too short to love assignments and endear tasks ! Renuka G ...
