The Sane Dreamer

                         “He knows everything about her, right from her favorite books to her favorite bra. She knows everything about him, right from his favorite soccer club to his favorite x rated websites. He will complete her English homework, even at three in the night. She will arrange an Armani suit for him, even if it calls for flirting with ugly guys. He has her picture in his wallet. She has his number on speed dial. They talk to each other all the time. They talk about each other when they don't talk to each other. They discuss everything from periods to PlayStation. They have tasted alcohol and then thrown up...together. They have bunked countless tuitions... together. They can’t live without each other. YET they don't love each other. They are JUST FRIENDS... ” Can they be just friends? I mean a Boy and a Girl? This is a universal quest everyone is  trying to find seek. ...

Image credit- Nyx Hi, lovelies!! It's time for some makeup haul! On 2nd September 2017,  NYX Professional Makeup officially launched their first ever exclusive flagship store in Mumbai, Inorbit Mall and I was more than excited to witness, be a part of the makeup wonderland. Everyone probably knows that NYX is a cosmetic brand founded in LA by Toni Ko , It is named after Nyx, a Greek goddess of the night, and the name is quite a synonym with makeup junkies, MUA, and everyone for that matter.  One of the best things I love about this brand is that they are proud cruelty-free which give them a plus point for an animal lover like me. Okay,  so the store was to open at 10:00 am and by the time I reached people were all lined up to get their hands on their faves. Also, because the first 100 in line was supposed to receive exclusive NYX professional makeup merchandise & goodies, which was obviously one of the reasons they were willing to stand in the long...

Only a bookworm like me will understand the excitement of getting a book box delivered straight to your doorstep. By now, you already know how much I am a fan of monthly subscription boxes, which includes beauty or lifestyle's product. And a book lover like me will not spare a subscription box which sends curated bookish merchandise alongside one of the best-selling books. To be honest, I was little skeptical about book boxes, because you don’t have the choice of picking up the book you love, you have to do away with what you are served. So, after a lot of research and more research, I stumbled upon this awesome box called 'Books N Beyond' and I thought they were pretty decent based on the reviews and feedback I got. So I left everything behind and started with my monthly trail subscription.                                            Joy of reading. Delivered...

The best thing about beauty subscription box is, you get to try awesome curated beauty products every month, delivered straight to your doorstep. Right now I am on a challenge to try out all the beauty subscription boxes available in India: one at a time. Last month it was the ‘My Envy Box’, check out my review here , this time I choose the very popular ‘FAB BAG.'     It is a monthly beauty and grooming subscription box, offering exclusively customised products for both Men and Women. I have come across positive feedback about this particular subscription box, and so I thought I would give this a go. Somehow, I ended getting the order very late and since it’s already the end of the month, I bet everyone already knows what’s inside, but better late than never, also I promised to review it, so here is what I got inside my July Fab Bag. The theme for July was 'Colour Drama’ and you get to choose between a pink and peach pouch. I got ...

"A woman can never be “just” a woman. She is a million people in one person."  I was happy to receive the book from the author herself.  ‘Who Shall I be Today?' by  Sunita Saldhana is a collection of poems which delves into what makes up a woman. As what William Wordsworth has once said, “ Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity,''  It is indeed true that poetry is a matter of inspiration and has less to do with ideas. One can never note down a poem if they are under pressure, it is all about the spontaneity and the powerful feeling of the heart. And this is one of the many reasons why  I love poetry since all our emotions are collected in tranquility before it begins to sink into our mind. 'Who Shall I be today' describes the different roles of being a woman, each poem explores the unique characteristics of women and the journey they go through in life. From a mo...

I received this book much later than I expected. ‘The Inimitable Chaos of Life’ is a book written by Maliny Mohan . It consists of fourteen meaningful, deep, heartwarming life's stories, and much to the title of the book, it is  “an amalgamation of enthralling stories borrowed from the chaotic pages of life, which allure you to relive the multitude of unique emotions humans are made of.” The stories in the book are relatable to real life’s events, and I bet the readers are more likely to connect and bring to life the intensity, complexity and sheer beauty of human emotions. It’s true, everyone goes through the chaos in life, and somewhere along the line, chaos began and ends with us. The author has written and narrated the stories to touch upon human lives and the emotions of everyday situations.   Heartbreak, pain, death, separations, and the harsh realities are all part of human lives, and one must go through the test no matter what. The book is a mix of emotions,...
