A Little Pinch of Anything

When I need a mood boost, tea always comes to my rescue. The awareness while preparing a favorite cup of tea and tasting it truly brightens the soul.  I believe there is tea for all the emotions and seasons. If you are sad, have the milk tea. If you are stressed, have chamomile tea. If it is summer and you feel hot, have green tea. With the right ingredients and methods, one can actually gain a lot of health benefits from tea. Before I start, I will mention that I am neither a health expert nor a dietician, but I love to read and research about tea. Born in Assam, famous for Tea worldwide, played an important role in my life. I have inherited the tea-drinking habits from my family. ***** Disclaimer: Amazon links for the tea attached at the end***** All types of teas are produced from Camellia Sinensis plants using different methods.  If you are drinking something that does not come from this plant is not tea. Period. Do you know that tea has a shelf life of two y...

When I was in school, I remember planting saplings almost forced by the teachers to do so. Then the words trending were afforestation and deforestation. Nowadays, houseplants have taken a massive trend on the internet. “The millennial version of 2.5 kids and a picket fence is six houseplants and no roommate," @tinygorgon  wrote in twitter which broke the feed with likes and followers. People are rewinding back to getting connected with nature. Now almost every third person aims to have houseplants at his/her home. [As you gradually move forward you will come to know the reasons] (********Disclaimer: Links to buy from Amazon at the end of the blogpost********) "While there has been a big focus on what we are putting into our bodies, there is now an increasing number of people considering what they are putting in their homes to make themselves feel better". This mindset is gradually increasing and influencing people towards houseplants.  Millennials (The...

My thoughts every time when my friend is late at the meet-up point, “What was the time we were supposed to meet? Am I early? Is it actually Xday (whichever day you are reading) today? Am I over-dressed? Do I know that person? Does that person really exist? Do I exist? Am I thinking too much? 😆 Hell Yes!!! I am an overthinker. Are you? If yes, this is for you. If no, this is for you too (Thinking more is sometimes good for your health). For Overthinkers, nothing is simple. Everything is a high-intensity situation. For example, suppose you are hungry and you have to order something. Now if you are a normal person you will order that comes to your mind first. But no, we, super thinkers, will include many factors like!!! Am I very hungry or less hungry? What are all the viable options? Will they provide cutleries?  Hot or cold food? What is the price? What is the time? Etc etc. 😥😥 Below are the indications that you definitely overthink. Asking a lot of questi...

I am not very old like in the 40s or 50s, I am just in mid-20s - if you know what I mean.😁😁 I think who I was 7-10 years back (A TEENAGER!!) and who I am today (ADULT) is very different because of the all the opportunities that came by and the choices I made. Following pieces of advice, I wish my favorite Santa had gifted me this letter a decade ago. Dear younger self, Your dream has come true, I am a grown-up woman now and guess what, I have the freedom to do whatever I want and make my decisions for life. But to mention, I am still not close to ‘PERFECT’. "I miss being you” who was crazy, hyped up, casual, and irresponsible but increasingly bold, adventurous, creative, and beauteous. Enjoy your role as a teenager because once it is gone, it’s gone forever. With all the new environmental and hormonal changes you are confused about right and wrong, I understand that. I know you must be thinking that your friends are your parents and your parents to be your e...
