Kaleidoscopic Haze.

You see, life is a bunch of phases. One after the other, they take you on a roller coaster ride. One moment you're on the top of the world, carefree and screaming your lungs out of joy. Then there's the plunge downhill that fills your heart with immense fear. You hold on for dear life, fearing what will hit you next. And then there's the part where your in the pit of the ride, where you can't go further and you just want it to stop. Eventually it does. How do you feel then? Tired, relieved. That's the last phase of your life. You had a hell of a ride but then that's about how much you can handle. So you step out, allowing for others to take your seat and you walk away from it.
That's life for you. 
Every story has a hero and a villain. 
There has to be pain in order for you to feel the relief when it goes away. There is no happiness without the sadness.
When you've hit rock bottom, thank your stars, for the only way out there on is up.

What's a hero without a villain to defeat? How would you fall in love with the hero if you didn't have the villain to despise? Would the reconciliation of the hero and his leading lady be just as beautiful if the bad guy hadn't eloped with her earlier? No, it wouldn't. 

Similarly, your life wouldn't have been half as interesting had it not taken the occasional plunge.
Every phase teaches you a lesson. There's something you pick from every part of it, good, bad and the ugly. How boring would life be if you woke up every day and got through it without a single happy or a sad moment.
Every emotion you feel gives prominence to the one that follows. The relief you feel after fear having enveloped your heart wouldn't be the same without the fear itself. The happiness of seeing a person after ages wouldn't be half as delightful if sadness hadn't played its part when the person departed.

Learn to love every emotion, it only adds beauty to your life.
Don't be either here, there or nowhere. Don't be a Black and White person. Don't see life through two extreme perspectives. It's not always just a Black or White situation. Often, the Gray patches have more significance then either of the others would. It's a colorful life, don't put it in a box.
Expand your perspectives. Don't restrict yourself to the black, white and gray of life.
Cause life is just that, a kaleidoscope of ever changing colors and patterns. You never know what turn it will take and what design it will make.
Soak it up.

Body Armor!

It was just another Facebook morning for me. I was nonchalantly browsing through bitch fights and breakup posts and lovestruck photos when it caught my eye. Not everything you spot on social media makes you want to pause and take a second look, not for the right reasons anyway. But this did. Body Armor!

 Whoever could've thought of that! Us women, we love accesorizing, don't we? Right from earrings to toe rings, we wear them all. Or do we?

So when I got in touch with Anisha, she had a whole new perspective. It dazzled me. What was supposed to be a mere enquiry urged me into penning down my thoughts about this steep turn in the world of Fashion. So I decided to go all Journo on this one.

How often do you wear a dress and find it incomplete? The sort of piecemeal that a necklace or a pair of dangly earrings fail to do justice to. That's when you turn to this whole new definition given to accessories.

Tell me that doesn't excite you! Tell me it doesn't make you go "Oh shit I want that.. and that! AND THAATTTT!!"If you're a girl, no matter how old you are or what background you're from, this is bound to tug at your heart, ever so strongly.Here we have a 20 year old girl, almost threatening the careers of well established jewelry designers! 

"I'm frankly really bored of seeing people wear the same old accessories.. Hello!! You're forgetting the rest of your body!These accessories are made to enhance the feminine you...It's like a body armor. I have made every piece with a special reason... Every piece is

It's mysterious, it's traditional...It reflects the strong Indian beauty who is religiously rooted.It's something that reflects your mysteries..

It's your power."

You heard her. Loud and clear!
