Hack the summer in style

Summer Tips

Summer is right upon us, but fret not. We have something just for you. Now stop praying "save us from the sweltering heat, my Lord! We bow to thee." Agreed that the heat is harsh, but it is definitely not going to kill you. Not when you follow these handy tips. Now sit back and say hello to summer.

Do not forget to wear sunscreen: This goes for both boys and girls. It's been said on a loop that the sun has UV radiations that are harmful to the skin, and you need to protect yourself from its harshness. Not only to maintain your skin health but also to avoid sunstroke and fainting. Also, exfoliate your skin in summers. Dead cells are caused due to increased sweat. Wash them away with granulated face washes.

Sleep well and stay indoors: Now that's not hard to do, is it? But it's not possible all the time. Travel in covered vehicles when going out and keep your rooms cool when indoors. Even when you're going out, carry umbrellas. Cover yourself with scarves and hats. Try trendy ones at that!

Drink lots of water, buttermilk, fruit juice, water-rich fruits etc.: Water intake will maintain the levels of bodily fluid, balancing your metabolism. Green tea might help too!

Wash your hair every other day. Tie your hair up so that it doesn't trouble you throughout the day. Opt for a low maintenance hairstyle. Wear cotton clothes that are loose and airy. Opt for lighter shades that cover most part of your body.

Go swimming. This'll let your skin breathe. It will open the pores, refresh you and also it's the best exercise this summer. And don't stay in air conditioning for too long. It will only give you the illusion of coolness, but it hurts in the long run!

Avoid junk altogether: Now this might be a little tough for you to do, but vow not to eat even a morsel of junk food. It cripples your body's already weakened immune system by the sun. Eat healthy. Eat lots of salads. Why don't you try ice golas, pudina pani, lassi, faluda, kulfi, and other roadside drink joints. Be safe than sorry.

Onions are just the beginning

In the modern age, where progress and enlightenment are celebrated, it's disheartening to witness the persistent struggles faced by women. A recent incident on television, as I was channel surfing, left me questioning the plight of women in our society. I stumbled upon a scene of a saas (mother-in-law) berating her bahuraani (daughter-in-law) for a seemingly trivial act - adding onions to a curry. The young woman, in her delicate saree, wept profusely, her tears tarnishing the beauty of her jewel-studded attire. Why does such injustice persist? This portrayal on television, while seemingly dramatic, reflects the bitter reality of many women's lives. The issue of dowry, which may not have been about onions in this case, has been a longstanding menace. Mother-in-laws tormenting their son's wives is not an uncommon story. Countless women face abuse, both emotional and physical, when they fail to meet unreasonable dowry demands set by their husbands' families. Records illus...

Emo Poems from Childhood

I need you I need love in my heart My heart is lonely and alone My love is pure, so true My heart is vacant just for you I've been waiting for so long I kept singing this solitude song My heart keeps weeping then and now That I can never reach To your heart and your beautiful soul and then Your smile, your love, and your faith Can nothing be done to get things back I can't stay regretting all my life I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love You always have all my true love But you never realized... What do I do to make you believe? My tears will tell you all that you need I'm in scarcity of tears to weep Without you, my heart is pounded deep I'm really tired of staying awake with you In my mind hurting every time There can be no other solution We've got to understand each other better and I need you to give me some space in your heart I need you to give me your love Can you forgive me for the whole thing in the past And start ov...

The Day I Confronted My Anxiety

The mere mention of the word "anxiety" sends shivers down my spine. I often find myself frozen with overwhelming thoughts, struggling to calm down as people around me offer well-intentioned advice. It's just who I am, I thought - my eccentric self. The feeling of being overwhelmed engulfs me, leaving me restless and constantly fidgeting. I've dealt with this since forever, evident from my nonexistent fingernails. Perhaps you'd ask about my childhood. It was comfortable, but I was no easy child to handle. A defining aspect of my early years was the intense "people-pleasing" I engaged in. Being liked was my lifeline, and I went to great lengths to gain appreciation. Emotions consumed me, and they still do. Behind the facade of a writer, I wore a mask to hide my anxiety. I let it sabotage my relationships and dream opportunities, leaving me in disarray. My ambition to be a travel blog writer was curtailed by anxiety's relentless grip. I beli...
