Have Healthy Skin!!!!

Mom always tell me to keep my skin healthy and maintain a good lifestyle. Actually taking care of your skin is also about taking care of your body. These days i have started to take mom's words seriously and tries to maintain a better lifestyle. I've dealt with periods of breakouts, dryness, oiliness and skin irritation. Some skin care products can help you to overcome these problems but they're not the 100% answer for it. But your daily food intakes are playing the major role for your body and skin. Recently my friend has advice me to stop drinking color/gas drinks such as coco cola, 100+, Mountain Dew and some orange drinks. I'm so addictive to these. And she's asked me to consume some Mineral Water, natural fruit drinks, green tea other than these processed drinks. I've a very bad habit. I can't have a plain water just like that without any flavour. So as I thought of adding lime to have a taste. My doctor friend told me, 'a little gem regularly' and it's so true. And past these 14 days I've been taking 8 glasses of water per day and I really can see the differences. Water is a life source and drinking water is so grate for you and especially your skin.

Apart from water, moisturizing is obviously must, to have a healthy, beautiful and soft skin. For years I've been using Aveeno body was and believe and they are tremendously good. And for moisturizing lotion I use lotions from Rosken. It's really gentle and very good for sensitive skin as mine. And yes these both are fragrance free. It goes on extremely soft and absorb in a second. I usually moisture before going to bed and often times mid day, just because it relaxes me a bit!

Being a professional Salsa and Bharathanatyam dancer doesn't mean you don;t need to exercise. That's totally wrong! Daily you've to exercise to get your muscle tight. Usually I goes to the gym in the evening and when I don't have time for it, I do simple workouts such as skipping at home. And I loves to swim. But after all, when you're under the sun, don't forget to wear your sun protection. I always wear sunglasses whenever I'm out and for face sun protection I use Neutrogena UV protection cream. Don't forget to protect your beautiful face from the harsh sun.

And after all, don't forget to wash your at least twice a day with the face wash which suitable for your skin. I normally use Clinelle. Cleansing is so much important for face, to remove make ups. Even though you're not wearing make up, you do have environmental pollutants on your face that needs to be removed. I also use a hydrating face moisturizer like Hydro Boost Gel Cream. You can use it both in the mornings and evenings. But I love it at night, because it helps me to replenish my skin with moisture while I'm sleeping so when I wake up the next morning, I look quite fresh. It is really lightweight and it continuously hydrate my skin all day long. if you're not using any moisturizer, I would highly recommend you.


When you're doing these things your skin can't help but be happy! What are your tips for healthy skin? xoxo :)

An atoms of sick concantenation

Just a little bit, just a little bit. Aretha is wailing in my headphones. Isn't that SUCH a song to strut too. You move your hips, narrow your eyes, pout your lips.. On a ordinary silent day you look absolutely ridiculous with a walk like that but with Aretha.... yep, she is a powerful woman.And what this shrimp, who is a very sick concatenation of atoms, needs is that power.

I've been a little sickly child. First, a nasty rash that spread all over my legs. A couple of itchy and tense days. And now a big, fat, sniffy cold. A couple of snotty and cough-y days to look forward to. My body is confusing me - fever, chills, rashes,coughing,watery eyes,drippy noses. We have no fight left in us.But with Aretha, the tiny part of my soul that was slowly turning blue has dredged itself out of depression! Its a good life people!! Thank god we have happy, powerful music. Too much may be annoying..but just a little bit.. just a little bit.

Gautham Karthik : The future of Tamil cinema!!!





Gautham Karthik is easily the face of Tamil cinema. Young, youthful and thankfully, experimental, his career thus far has ranged from boy-next-door.He has managed to impress while simultaneously proved that he is capable of anything. Sellable and a youth icon, he is the heart throb of many young women. Recently, the actor, who has been out and about promoting his upcoming film Vai Raja Vai was seen on a number of reality shows on which he encouraged new talent and entertained with the new age cinema.

Despite being an actor who hails from one of the most prominent film families in the industry and being son to the most lovable and talented hero of Kollywood, the young actor holds no starry airs about himself and is always keen to indulge in requests from his fans.

Half Year Movie Pick!!

My poor blog has been neglected since I’ve joined the world of WORK. And I always promised I would never forget my roots, i.e. this very portal. In the meantime, I’ve been swamped with messages regarding my movie picks for 2015 (Jan-June). It was an interesting year for Tamil cinema. The films that made waves were ones that were expected to fail and vice versa. There were sequels, lots of action and a few surprises.



Yennai Arindhaal – The trilogy is finally completed by Gautham Menon with Ajith Kumar in Yennai Arindhaal. A must watch movie. And it wins my heart.

Kanchana 2 – The most profitable film of the year also wins my all time entertainment movie. WIN!

Shamitabh – Must watch for Dhanush and his amazing acting! Yet again he proves, that he is a star.

Meaghaman – Surprise, surprise, Arya can act. Great film which tells an interesting story

I – Why this Shankar film didn’t make the Oscar cut, I’ll never know but its simple plot of a model and her fan who become a model and the love for each other.

Vai Raja Vai – Vai Raja Vai deserves a mention. One amazing movie of the year

Uttama Villain – I was forced to watch this film but walked away wowed by the quick and unexpected storyline. Kamal Hassan never fails to impress

Oh Kadhal Kanmani– The feel good film of the year has a weak plot but with colours, great music, fun dances and a good-looking cast, you walk away feeling young and giddy

FYI, Pisasu & Darling hasn’t been watched yet but I have a feeling, it would make the cut. Neither did Anegan or Demonte Colony. Didn’t work for me.

See you at the movies this December!

I can never

bring my passion to language: 

I read like the departing footsteps 
of a stranger

the torn petal 
of a still blooming flower,

or like a nightmare recalled 
without its fear.

I read stillborn and stale
& of many miscarriages of intent.

Can I replace each word
with a finger print?

I wish I read like coal 
spitting sparks from its grave

or like an icicle
sealing its fate 
to a tongue

But I write 
to chase myself away,

I know that 
my heart, a scar worn axe 
dreams of splintering

the word.
I love it when i can stare at raindrop patterns on a grimy bus window, i love it when my toes curl, i love it when i get to lick butter and sugar off my fingers when i make a cake, i love it that your cheek remains as wrinkled and soft as ever, i love the weary look in your eyes, i love the fact that i can drink the coldest lemonade in chilly weather, i love that i have two books to finish, i love that i am procrastinating getting them done.

I'm a small girl in a big world, I'm a big girl in a small world. I live both inside and outside my dreams. sometimes i imagine pressing my lips against a microphone a la Stephen Tyler. I can only crack my thumb, not any other fingers or knuckles. My hair stands on edge when its humid. Dust bunnies make me sneeze and i can re watch the things that i love a million times. I can't live without my i pod. And sometimes i can tell that YOU just know me inside out.

Small secrets that make up my day. From my wild hair to my cracked, worn out soles. I recommend you get some things of your chest, the little shameful secrets that creep out from behind your legs and the beautiful little  ones that fly off your fingertips.

If Frozen 2 directed by Shankar

Well we all knows that Frozen 2 sequel is gonna happen soon as Disney has confirmed it. Well, now let them do their part of getting ready with the actual script, while we imagine how Frozen 2 will turn out, if it was directed by the awesome director for Tamil and South Indian audiences

Director - Of coarse it's going to be Shankar. Because only he can make it. (my opinion)

This movie is a beautiful one and the entire sets are just amazing. And we know that when it comes to set design, it's only Shankar-Thotta Tharani team could make it grand and amazingly glamorous.

Who is better than Samantha to play the role of Ice Queen Elsa while Alia Bhatt as Anna the loving sister.
