MOMMY' BEAUTY TIPS




My mom discovered an awesome beauty tip. Thanks to Prema aunty n the acne on my back mommy found a way to do away with wrinkles. A tip from our very own kitchen!

Poppy seeds- Khus Khus
Kasturi Manjal- Turmeric
Aloe vera
Milk

Poppy seeds need to be powdered. but cannot be powdered easily so you need to roast them and then powder them. you will not get a fine paste. It will be a coarse paste. mix the paste with the kasturi manjal or turmeric. Add fresh aloe vera. the simplest way to grow aloe vera in your gadren. Cut a leaf, remove the skin and thorns and scoop out the gel. you can store the gel in the fridge. make a mixture of the gel, poppy seeds powder, turmeric and a little milk. Apply it on the face for about half an hour and wash off. It tightens your skin and does away with all the wrinkles and laugh lines. Use of turmeric is optional as it dicolors your skin.

MEME......THANKS TO POPSIE

Hello
here is my frist Meme! Honestly speaking I didnt know that something called a Meme exists until I saw Popsie's blog! I am quite tempted to answer these questions as well! so here I go..

1. How did you come up with your blog title OR what does it mean?
When I started blogging, I was kinda new to this whole concept. I thought I wld give it a catchy title. being a history student Hitler struck me....but more than Adolf Hitler it was my kitten Hitler who tempted me to name this blog!

2. What are your general goals for blogging?
I am a freelance journo. so this gives me space to write stuff that I may not be able to write otherwise and also to put up my articles online so all my friends can see them. And also to write about people whom I love and who have truly made a difference to my life!

3. Do people “in your real life” know that you blog and do they
comment on your blog OR is it largely anonymous? How often do
you post (x per week)?
Yes I have told them it is my blog. I get them to read and comment. I dont blog too often. If it do it once a month it is an achievement!

4. How often do you read other blogs (x per week)?
I am addicted to Big B's and American muslim's blogs which I check more regularly than anything else.

5. How do you select blogs to read (do you prefer blogs that focus on certain topics or do you choose by tone or…?)
I read anything that interests me! of course I am a huge Big B fan!

6. Do you have any plans to copy your blog entries in any other format, 0r do you think that one day, you’ll just delete it all?
No way! I love my blog the way it is....it will remain so for posterity!

7. What are the things you like best about blogging?
Blogging lets me write whatever I please. No one can edit and no can say dont write this or that!

8. What are the things you don’t like about blogging?
I dont like people leaving nasty comments without knowing why you have written such a post.

9. How do you handle comments?
I enjoy reading the comments. take some of them as good feedbacks and respond as often as I can.

10. Do you have any burning thoughts to share on blog etiquette?
no nasty comments pls!

11. Any desired blog features?
Mo blog for all just like Big B! Lolz

12. Have you suffered blog addiction?
Not really!

THE BETTER SIDE OF WRITING



It has been over 3 years since I got into serious writing. The journey has been interesting and I have met some of the most lovely people during the course of writing. Some Whom I choose to make friends with and others whom I choose to admire from a distance! Last year my mothers day story took me to GG hospital and I met Dr Priya Selvaraj! I thought I was going to meet a stranger and she walks into the room saying, I just added you on facebook and your brithday is two days away! whoa what a surprise that was! There has been no looking back ever since! We exchanged mobile numbers and have exchanged umpteen silly sms's ever since! We are both crazy! After a lot of deciding we went out for dinner to the Taj mountroad on saturday and it was awesome to spend time with her and know her better! It is indeed nice to know the better side of socialites!
Another wonderful person whom I have known for 6 years and now I say I have slept over years of knowing her!! Lolz yeah Nina has been an acquaintance for 6 years and a good friend for the last 6 months! yeah that is how long I have taken to get over my shyness! I dont know how I am so shy with some people and not with the others! It has been amazing to see Nina's simplicity! She has been so affectionate and so approachable! And Smsng her at night seems to have become an addiction! Ofcourse I beleive that if there is something in common which has brought us close.....that has to be our love for Baba!
I am glad to have met such wonderful people along my journey as a writer!
And I am sure I do have a lot to learn from all the people around!
Love you guys and I hope to see more of you!
