The Sane Dreamer

"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,...

The importance of saving money for the future is known to all. Earn and Save is how the cycle of our financial plan works. But, have you given a thought about investing your money on the right platform or what if we can do something different and better? So that you no longer have to worry about your finance. Life is full of uncertainty, and we need to be prepared for the unexpected. As much as saving is important, it is also important to invest and keep your future secure. We worry more about financial shortcomings rather than looking for a solution to overcome that problem. Here I am talking about investing your assets for the future by capitalizing on your present income. How about investing your money in mutual funds? It is a great option for those looking for an opportunity to grow money over a period of time by investing small amounts.  Most people have an incorrect notion of the risk associated with investing in mutual funds and are unaware of its benefits. ...

      “You're not living if you're not regretting.”  ―  Nicola Yoon I guess it’s never too late to write a book review, or maybe until it’s adapted into a movie. I guess! I am talking about the book ‘Everything, Everything’ by Nicola Yoon which became the much talked and much-awaited film which was adapted from its original fiction work. The book was published in 2015, and the movie was released this year i.e. 2017, so on the onset of the movie trailer, people were intrigued to find out more about the book before the movie came out. The same applied to me too; I was curious to read the book before catching the movie. Somehow I am more absorbed in books which are adapted into a movie, who isn’t? You are just interested to find out how the director changes the scene sequence or the line printed on a page into a screenplay. I bought the book only after I saw the trailer of the movie (honest confession). Luckily, the book got me hooked fro...

Lip Crayon has become the ‘In- thing' for every beauty lovers, and its obsession is going to last longer than we think. Because, how cool is it to paint your lips with a crayon, I mean a lip crayon. Interesting ain’t it?  I found my favorite in it too, and I thought I would give it a try with the new Lakme Enrich Lip crayon which recently launched. They have 10 different gorgeous shades to give you smooth, and matte finish lips. The lip crayon is infused with mineral powders and has a soft texture, blended with Olive Oil, Jojoba Oil, Shea Butter and Coconut Butter to nourish and condition your lips. Today, I will be reviewing 3 of the shades that I carefully picked up to match with my skin tone. FYI you get a free 2 in 1 sharpener with every single crayon. Like, if you buy 10 lip crayons, you get 10 sharpeners. How cool is that? Not sure, what I would do with 10 sets of 2 in 1 lip crayon sharpeners? I know, right. Okay, so the first one is... Peach...
