Simple Joy

Hmm....so now-a-days nothing special's up, planning to go for a college-visit tomorrow. So this was my personal update, now time for blog's update..

Well, I think now-a-days we people have turned pretty materialistic. Yeah!...see me for instance, I haven't shopped or traveled for a while (only few days!) and I am already feeling under the weather. I wasn't able to access the internet this weekend since, there was some connection error on Friday and that made me go nuts and restless, literally! But, not able be to on the desktop gave me some precious time to ponder over this serious issue of we teenagers going materialist and finding comfort in man-made materials, like my friends who are seriously engaged with their mobile-phone forever!

Few decades ago, very few people had cars and televisions. Mobile phone's were simply non-existent and most importantly, there was no facebook or any social networking site. Still, people were happy and found a list-long fun things to-do. I think its important (no-no, totally necessary) to keep these materialistic things on hold and enjoy simple joy that is all around us. I feel its totally shallow to base our happiness on major events like a vacation or loads of money or great grades (heyya...I'm totally tensed. So what's the need?)- These things will happen in their own time and you sure must work towards them. But in the meanwhile, enjoy the little things and feel happy and accomplished. Enjoy and relish a great home-made or even self-made breakfast, feel the greenery around you,  have a hearty laugh or nurture your mind and soul by doing something you enjoy....the choice is all yours. I have complied a list of things which I feel happy in,

Enjoy the oscillating motion of waves.
  • The sound of naturally running water: Just leave the tap open to fill the bucket, close your eyes and listen the harmonious sound and indefinable melody of running water. I even feel great when water runs through my hairs!
  • Tuning in the radio or any music channel and discovering that your favorite song being played (this make me feel too much happy!).   
  • That bitter-sweet feeling after finishing a great book.
  • When it suddenly starts raining after a long, sunny and hot day, and enjoying it while getting wet in it or with a hot cuppa of tea or coffee.
  • Settling down with a nice treat (preferably, choco-nut cookies and milk) while watching your favorite movie late-night.
  • Having a cool shower after a long trip or a busy and sweaty day.
  • Being home in a nice, warm bed at night when it is stormily rain outside.
  • Having ice-cream in cold weather.
  • Finding a some money in your old-jeans pocket while cleaning (I get happy when I find any halls mint in my pocket too, silly but true).
  • The aromatic fragrance of dinner cooking early evening, seriously irresistible!
This is a list of few things I feel joyous in, feel free to make your own list or add many more in my list. Just one thing guys, do step-up from this digital and materialist life and enjoy few minutes of serenity and simplicity. And till my next post, Aloha.....

Review: Himalaya Acne-n-Pimple Cream

Image
Back in the day when I was facing my share of troubled skin, I had come across this Himalaya product in the trolley of a fellow shopper during a grocery haul. Post that initial sighting, I quickly marched to the relevant aisle to get hold of this product. Honestly, I have zero recollection of how this cream reacted to my skin and had almost forgotten that I've used this cream in my war against acne until Himalaya Herbals contacted me to review the product. Now, my face is no longer covered with zits of varying intensity all the time. Hence, I was on the verge of declining the opportunity. But the universe works in mysterious ways. My brother got a terrible breakout and thereby became a perfect specimen to examine the working of this cream on!  Product's Claim Himalaya Acne-n-PimpleCream promised to control pimples and scars while keeping the skin soft. Himalaya says that this product is a formulation containing Silk Cotton Tree, Lentil, Aloe Vera and Saurashtri,

Chapter 2: Such A Long Journey

( Note: This post has been written as a part of Blogadda's #CelebrateBlogging. My team is ' Tandem Tensome ' and this post is the second chapter in the novel we are writing. You can read the first chapter here ) __________ “The number you are trying to call is currently busy, please try again later.” was what Shekhar could hear on the other end of his call. He sighed and assured himself that indeed she must be busy at work.  “I’ve boarded the train back home, and will reach by tomorrow. Call me ASAP.” he typed in a jiffy and sent the message to Tara, his wife, and slouched in his seat. He couldn’t help but think of Tara and how strained their relationship has become, not that it had been a healthy one erstwhile, but now it took a lot of effort even to communicate! They went days and sometimes even weeks without seeing each other although they lived together under the same roof; she'd be up and out even before the sun’s first rays hit the earth and home a
