Flora was sitting at the corner of the bar, trying to figure out the picture of the man on her phone. She remembered Fa's words, "Flo, this time full Bollywood hero- strong & fun like Bhaijan."Flora knew that was her father's failed attempt, so she took at least some interest in his prospective son-in-law. Flora knew very well that profile pictures can be deceptive, but neither did she care. But her investigative mind tried to understand the real person inside through the picture. A sudden tap on her shoulders distracted her. She found a well-built man with a particularly loud moustache smiling at her. She could have easily mistaken her as one of the bouncers standing at the club's door if he was not at the bar. She wondered what Fa's reaction would have been if he had tried to find "Bhaijan" in him. Fa has this habit of exaggerating things.  The man sat across from Flora, "I am Frederick; you can call me Freddie." He tried to ease hims...

Every Saturday in March, MeMoviesMore will celebrate a Cause/Day. Today, we are celebrating World Compliment Day (March 1) A new month has started, and it is already March, Spring at its fullest bloom with the onset of a very hot summer peeping through. March also brings a significant aspect to our lives, our kids' exam time. That reminds me of how much motivation they need to give their best shot this time of the year. Today, March 1, is celebrated as World Compliment Day. It is a day to mark the importance of compliments to the people around us, spreading positivity and appreciation for our work and the value we bring in life. Children are tomorrow's future, and we must motivate them as elders. Giving compliments for their work and simply being there with/for us is also important. Here are some compliments that can encourage kids to focus on their goals this exam season. Top 10 Compliments for Kids 1. I am proud of you: Nothing in the world can bring more joy than this line f...

 Today being the last day of #WriteAPageADay, I am glad that I could reach my goal and immensely grateful to Blogchatter for giving us such a supportive platform for bloggers and writers and also to all the bloggers in this incredible blogging community who inspire each other to keep on doing what we love the most, i.e. writing. I have tried to write a piece daily based on the challenge prompts provided by Blogchatter. Today, with a slight change, I am writing about a few beauty hacks instead of life hacks. Top 5 Quick Beauty Hacks 1. Coconut/olive oil as a night moisturizer: If you are running out of your night cream and desperately need moisturization, your coconut or olive oil can be useful. Remember that 2 drops are enough for your entire face and neck.  Both the oils have high moisturizing benefits. But make sure to cleanse it off the next morning.  2. Grapeseed/Argan oil for quick radiance: If you are about to wear a foundation that makes your skin look dry and patc...

Rebirth, reincarnation, and past life memories - topics that are often clouded by myths and fear mostly, are covered in detail in the new book Devputra: A Story of Rebirth by author Neil D'Silva. I was happy to receive the book for review, as the topic of Rebirth has always fascinated me since I came across Dr. Brian Weiss's various books, like Many Lives, Many Masters and Same Soul, Many Bodies. A story revolving around this very mysterious subject automatically drew me. About The Author: Neil D'Silva, a prominent name in contemporary supernatural and horror literature, is back with his new book, Devputra: A Story of Rebirth. D'Silva's works include a vast contribution to the genre of horror, with best-selling books like Yakshini, Maya's New Husband and the award-winning Haunted: Real Life Encounters with Ghosts and Spirits.

I heard the Whatsapp message ping. I was in the hospital, waiting for my turn. The message was from my Mother-in-law. I knew the phone she was using was hers, but the message was from someone else, who mostly gets possession of the device when I am not around.  So, there comes a GIF. Message of a cat begging for something with a "please". Then there are these words: "Please get me a pack of slimes after my exam." These pleas had been made by the sender earlier, too, and declined every time by me. But that time, it felt different. Like any other individual, I am a part of many WhatsApp groups. I have learnt and have become acquainted with many ideas, information, and other things from these groups. There are Bibliophile groups, various blog hop groups, Lady's groups, Bengali groups, Art & Culture groups and of course, some exclusively for my daughter. I am glad to be part of these groups and find them very supportive to all members. I keep getting innumerable...

I want to be financially independent when I am reborn. The idea of depending on others for basic necessities doesn't really fascinate me. However, life sometimes takes us to situations we cannot escape. Being grateful for what we are getting and for what we have is important, but it is also important to dream big and have the capacity to achieve it.  I want all the things that I am blessed to have now. But I also want to be financially independent so I don't have to please anyone for my survival. Talks of immortal love and unconditional loyalty are easier said than done. It's important to fix one's self first, and it's the harsh reality that money is a source of basic security in today's world.  I want the same parents, the same husband, the same friends and family and most importantly, the same daughter, but I want myself to never lose focus on my own life and to be able to be there rock solid for those who really matter to me when reborn. This blog post is a p...
