An event of lifetime: Bloggers meet at Trident, BKC

Alright, before I start narrating the awesomeness this day brought along; I'd love to thank IndiBlogger for organizing Stayfree Women's for change meet in association with Stayfree India and UNICEF from the bottom of my heart. Moreover, I'm already looking forward to my next meet.

I read somewhere on the internet "Don't be timid or squeamish about your actions, whole life is about experimenting with new things", and the moment I learned about a Blogger's meet happening in my hometown Mumbai, I knew I must attend the event. The fact that the venue of the meet was Trident Hotel, Bandra helped my case immensely (You know my college is in Bandra itself, so I happen to be quiet acquaint with Bandra. Hence, convincing my parents wasn't a pain).

The day started with a high note; a late-to-rise person, I sprang upright as soon as the alarm's ring hit my ears. Not anticipating or expecting anything extraordinary I started prepping up myself from the day (Mainly because I have a tendency to build castles in air and when those castles collapse, mind you, it really pains). Actually, I was more worried about making to the venue on time rather than what shall probably happen there!

Overall the whole event was mind-blowing and arranged  perfectly. And I meet a lot of wonderful people which helped stupendously in expanding my horizon and motivated me to keep blogging. Among the astounding bloggers I met today are; Vineeta of Blogwati Gee (who also happens to be an alumni of my college!), Ameena of Fashionopolis, Firefly, Devashri Birari of TechCoWaves (She came all the way from Nasik to attend the meet!), Nirali Naik of Awesome since '92, Shreya of Confused soul, BlahBlaholic, Anna John of From Anna's Desk,Sarika Chowdhary Sharma of Creating Artistically and many more!

What really moved me was the agenda and message the meet tried to convey; it made me realize the power I, as a blogger possess and the contribution I can make towards the society by this channel (I might write about it in detail soon).

Also, I took tonnes of pictures with my fellow blogger pals, but the major problem is lack of clarity in most of those photos as a 2mp mobile camera was used for it (What else can you expect from a mobile camera?!). Hence, the visual action from my side isn't sufficient. But don't feel dejected people, you can watch the video of the entire event here! Have fun.

Venue: Golconda Ballroom of the Trident, BKC

The perfect high tea!

P.S. I went to Marine Drive after the meet (Can't help it, I'm super smitten by Marine Drive).

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

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
