Menstrual hygenie is an important conversation not only women but everyone should be talking about. As if, you learn you pass it on to more people you meet. No women/ girl should go through any disease cause lack of information or knowledge about it.
A woman generates 125 kg of menstrual waste during her lifetime. It takes 500-800 years for a sanitary pad to decompose properly. Certainly, not many realised this for the longest. However, with the growing awareness and active knowledge shared there has been a newfound sense of responsibility in the society. The idea of using eco-friendly products has got its acceptance with the women and the same is being addressed by the new age entrepreneurs who are exploring the space to provide the society with natural and eco-friendly products for personal care.
steps to be hygienic :
Change your sanitary napkin every 4-6 hours
Wash yourself properly
Don’t use soaps or vagina hygiene products
Discard the sanitary napkin properly
Stick to one method of sanitation
Here are some brands I know who have been tirelessly wanting to make a better world for women/ girls out there:
1.Avni
Avni offers well researched, tested, and innovative products to facilitate women hygiene during periods. Avni has developed Avni Safepads, the cloth-based pads which can last up to 3 years. They also have Avni Ezeepads which are cotton based, come in a pouch that can be easily disposed of.
Their silicon based menstrual cup which is handy for mother nature as it does not generate waste.
2.Peesafe
Being one of the most outspoken and courageous personal hygiene brands in the country, Peesafe produces biodegradable sanitary pads which are made of bamboo pulp and 100% organic cotton. The pads have their own disposable bag which is biodegradable in nature too. The used product starts decomposing within 18 months. Peesafe reusable menstrual cups help in reducing the waste due to its large usage, which can be used for minimum 5 years, hence not generating any waste for at least 5 years.
3. Nua
Nua provides holistic care , with an immense range of products which are toxin-free, with 100% safe ingredients and designed in a way that gives comfort from all aspects. Nua has a range of cotton pads with zero toxins and each pad has its own disposable bag that makes it environmentally friendly and hygienic too.
4.The Woman’s Company
The Woman’s company has created products which have a unique range of products, for making the lives of every woman out there, simple, and easy. It has tailor made cotton-based pads which are handy in a biodegradable bag that helps in its easy decomposition. The sustainable silicon based menstrual cups also contribute to giving minimal harm to the environment, because of their long life.
Their tampons made of 100% organic cotton are easy to decompose, hence simplifying the whole process of decomposition.
5. LemmeBe
With its organically grown cotton and super absorbent, leak protection design, the diverse range of products of LemmeBe make periods easier. It has come with India’s first period disc. Their Z based period disc, which is silicon based, is 100% reliable if you care for the environment, because of its long sustainability. Along with that, their Z cup, which is another silicon based menstrual saves the environment from plastic waste up-to many years.
6. PLUSH
Plush with the belief that by adding a little extra effort in the right places, can change the way women approach comfort in their periods. They make the products keeping women and their comfort in mind, and not just as another product to tackle menstruation.
I have used them personally and find them very comfortable to wear, no scratches post the periods. They have launched razors too which look promising.
Hope this gives you a basic idea of what Indian brands are available and you can choose which one you’d like to use and do share this to as many people. As one person sharing can make a difference. 😀

“A lot of people are spending more time online due to various restrictions implemented owing to the novel coronavirus.

• Did you know that osteoporosis symptoms can never be known, until you get tested?
• Did you know that you might look healthy but u might end up having more health isssues then anyone?
Did you know that you its important to have all three meals to feel the energy?
Well so I had visited Medall research center on the occasion of Women’s day and thanks to Dr Akhila, and Apasara learnt a lot of things about being a women. I literally have more clearer view on how i should take care of my body and how I can be more fitter in life.
Dr AKHILA RAVIKUMAR works on the welfare of prevention of Diabetes by conducting camps . She runs master health program in Medall. Such a lovely lady, who is open to learn new things .
little about MEDALL :
Medall is effecting a change in this status quo. Today, Medall has disrupted the medical diagnostics landscape, by bringing world-class integrated preventive healthcare services closer to the undeserved. It has set up radiology and pathology labs in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities and towns in India and has firmly established itself as India’s premier integrated diagnostics chain, having served over 9 million customers performing more than 25 million tests.
ABOUT Apsara is a certified yoga teacher with Yoga Alliance and World Yoga Organization. She has learned the Ashtanga practice directly from Mysore with Ramesh ji, a lifetime member of the Mysore Yoga Association as well as from Ravi and Sreemathy, direct disciples of guru Sri K Pattabhi Jois.
They have this amazing test which is an all body checkup for women. It gives you a blueprint of all the top to bottom issues. That you never know existed. If u wish to take the test and know a lil more about your health.
The topic Dr Akhila spoke about :
Common diseases affecting women are:
PCOs and PCOd mostly occurs to women which leads to hormonal disorder which causes a ghotala in your system and you get menstrual irregularities which means late periods, obesity, hair on face chest, etc and infertility which can or cannot be true.
Obesity- Well lets just say we tend to gain weight coz of various reason, biggest reason is being lazy. As we end up doing so much work during our day, which makes us lethargic. Also unhealthy eating, is an another cause.
Depression/Anxiety disorder: long working hours as well as factors such as lack of sleep, too much tension, worrying for no reason, crazy work life schedule , love life not going great, etc there are soo many ways because of which you get depressed or get anxiety.
Chronic Backache: Caused due to long work hours, especially sedentary jobs with long hours of static, can happen coz of Pcos/d also ,posture at work and inappropriate back support.
Infertility: Lifestyle issues are a part of us living in the current world which leads to both fertility rate among women as well as pregnancies, affecting mothers who wish to get pregnant .
Vitamin D Deficiency: Biggest problem in recent times, Sun is the total and only saver, yes you have medicines . But SUN bathing is what you should be doing to save yourself.
Breast Cancer: Incidence of breast cancer is increasing in younger women, due to unhealthy lifestyles. In 5% women, it could be genetic, therefore the testing has to be done at an early age. Keep doing mammography every 2 months,or just go meet a doctor. Best way to keep yourself healthy.
Hope you all enjoyed this bit of information, and if you wish to know more about the test . Please do ping. 😀

MARGZHI Masam (festival ) was going on and i couldnt find aa better way to start with saba food.
Being a chennaite makes you explore alot of food items and festivities. I am lucky to be born here. Proud #chennaite .❤ So there is a 5 course meal happening at J.hind Grt. I love everything about it also it happens only on Fri, sat and sunday till January. They also have famous classical musicians playing there. Grand Gana saba.
the meals were all vegetarian. As its all about respecting God, during that time.
So they always start with music. art performance which leads to lunch or a dinner. Mostly its dinner time, as that’s when most of them get free from work and can spend time for puja .
the Food was delicious the 5 course meal was a bomb, from soup, starter, 2 varieties, main course which had rice to dessert which was epic.
will be definitely going back again the coming year. Hope to see you all 😀

Who knew technology had a whole world behind it. Someone who has been curious about phones and sims finally got her answers. Thanks to MediaTek, they all make sense now.

A little about Mediatek first: MediaTek powers more than 1.5 billion devices a year; and is a market leader in power-efficient systems-on-chip (SoC) for smart devices, smart-home solutions, Voice Assistant Devices (VAD) and automotive solutions.

A traveller, while travelling always looks to try new cuisines and dishes . Someone who’s a foodie like me will always find reason to experiment, and learn more about each country cuisine we hop on to.
Thankfully Soy Soi is taking you to a trip , where your taste bud will not be able to decide whats good and what’s not.
So you can visit 6 countries, But I chose three Indonesia, Burma and Thailand. Asian food at its best. It’s basically a set menu only dutring the week. From soup to dessert. You will get a variety of dishes from the country you choose. Isn’t that a fun idea.
Everything was soo good that I still cannot decide what I liked more or less. The hot hot scrumptious food just made me fall in love all over again. 😀
First we flew to Indonesia. And I started my trip with a iced milo.
ICED MILO
starter : Satey Ayam Madura
Satey Ayam Madura
soup : Soto Ayam – Chicken
Main course :Nasi Goreng : the nasi goreng was tasty and filling for one whole person. The soft rice and chicken did the trick to make me want more, but had to keep space for other stuff also .
Then we flew to Burmese/ Burma Main course :Burmese Khao Soi : this is a whole meal in itself, so many add ons to put in your khao , Not a fan of it , but this one did make me go back again .
Starter :Burmese chili tofu fun fact this tofu is actually made from besan (gram flour) It was delicate, spicy and tasty .
salad :Lahphet – Burmese tea leaf salad : All you green tea lover,this salad will be your favourite.
and last but not the least, the last stop was Thailand : salad : Som Tam- Thai raw papaya salad
main course : Gai Phad Phrik- chicken stir fried with chili and Thai basil Thai minced chicken in hot basil rice . looks like i enjoyed more of the main course clearly.
Tab Thim Grob – Thai jellied chestnut with jackfruit and coconut.. not a cocnut fan so din’t quiet enjoy it. But it is one of their specialties, which you should try. The brownie and icecream was what I liked in dessert.
Do not forget to keep your tummy completely empty before you head here. Coz your in for a treat.
Totally worth the trip. For 2 people 2k approx.
HAPPY EATING!
Have a great week.

Firstly to people who might not know what money clips are – Money clips are sleek pouches to carry money. This is basically made for people who do not like the hassle of carrying around a purse along with them at all times . We all know how tiring it can get to shop with a purse on you or go to a restaurant and find a place near you so we do not disturb the other person with us and also not forget to take the purse. Hence money clips are the best options. Money clips come in various shapes, sizes and styles and fit any taste, preference and budget.
Money clips are not only practical items, they are fashionable pieces as well. A money clip is a very sharp accessory, which indicates a person who enjoys precision and clarity. When you carry this Money Clip you do not need to search for anything, you have it with you right here.I have been using this Money Clip for a while now and I can say that it is totally worth a buy..
ABOUT THE BRAND :Trash is basically a Chennai based start up started by group of like minded friends. They deal only with manufactures of different leather articles like Messenger bag, Money clip, Wallets, Mini clutch. In India 70% of the leather product we find in local market is of chrome tanned leather which is not approved for sales throughout the western hemisphere for health issues. But in our brand we manufacture only with semi-veg/ veg leather. We do offer 200% cashback for all of our products if found to be not 100% genuine leather. They also manufacture customized articles based on customer requirements.
Quick lifestyle and being on the move is today’s Fomo ( fear of missing out) of everyone living in the 21st century. People are on the run always and food is an essential part of our being. People staying away from home, or just not good cooks or wish to eat something yummy but are lazy to go outside.
Can now get three of these amazing dishes right in 5 minutes. Just like maggi.
The three dishes curated by Chef Alfred and Sumeru team is one stop shop for all your cravings. From millet ki khicdi, to pepper chicken to panner makhni or chicken gravy. You have it all. Prepared in just 5 minutes, basically just put in a microwave and Voila your food is ready to be served. Hot Hot.
supper millet khicdicoromandel panner
I especially am huge fan of the pepper chicken. Reminds me of the south indian restaurants.
Pepper chicken
A little about Chef Alfred :Alfred Prasad is credited with elevating the reputation of British Indian food with his delicate treatment of fresh, seasonal produce. Becoming the youngest Indian chef to receive a Michelin star at the age of 29, he retained this accolade at Tamarind for 12 years and this is his 13th year running. He is highly lauded for his original take on traditional Indian cuisine. His mouth-watering seasonal menus put a fabulous 21st century spin on centuries old dishes; delicately balancing creativity and authenticity. It is important to him, to preserve the purity and flavour of ingredients and to present each creation as a complete sensory experience.
Last but not the least a little about the brand Sumeru : The brand that offers a wide variety of ready-to-cook as well as ‘heat & eat’vegetarian and non-vegetarian products across 25+ product categories, not only identified the consumer shift but has been bold enough to risk product innovation in the frozen food category dominated largely by snacks or sea food and frozen vegetables. In the span of the last one year, Sumeru has not only made innovative additions to its range of fun snacks such as the launch of the first ever ‘Chicken Tandoori and Chicken Garlic French Fries’ an interesting twist to the most loved French Fries, it is for the first time in the frozen food segment launching a niche range of products under the ‘quick meal category’.
I am totally in love with this concept. It is completely non peservated and stays for a year. Totally reccomend for all you bachelors, living alone and for ones who miss home cooked food. Here’s the quickest way to feel back home. Just like your ‘Ma ka khana’. There are available online and many stores all over the world.

French windows, greenery around and amazing food to dine .
Here’s @cafecakebee . The new cute cafe which serves the best of cuisine.
I had a a scrumptious meal and cant wait to take my family/friends along.
The best part is every meal has a unique taste to it.
We ate a lottt of things and will everything was better than the other one. Will post down all that I love and want you all to taste/try it. When you visit the place 😀
My recommendation:
*Asian chicken broth soup : Chicken filled with alot of goodness. HOT HOT soup, with good amount of chicken and vegetables, giving you a tinge of ginger flavour. Made me order for another bowl of it. The right amount of everything made the soup delicious.
*Classic Caesar salad and Balsamic infused melon salad
Well someone who’s not a big fan of salads, but loves to try new things did fall in love with these two. Ceaser salad taking my heart and Blasamic melon salad with the presentations was the show stealer. Filled with all the healthy things together. Every bite would make you taste something different.
*Chicken satay and Mutton Cigars
Chicken satay is a dish of seasoned, skewered and grilled meat, served with a sauce. My favourite dish of all times. The chicken was tender and juicy.
The mutton cigars made of small chunks of mutton pieces, fried like a spring roll. Tasted well, crispy and hot.
*Mezze platter has my heart. Wherever I go, I do make sure to order it. The presentation was very appealing. Falafel, And pita bread were nicely made. The hummus was perfectly blended with the right spice. Yummyy..
*Chicken lasagna : a baked dish containing layers of boiled lasagna, and usually cheese, a seasoned sauce of tomatoes, and meat or vegetables. This layer of wholesomeness was so filling and soft and gooey. Just how I like it ❤ The good layers of chicken and vegetables is a whole meal for one person.
*Orange butter grilled fish : Served with cauliflower rice and grilled veggies. Looking for a healthy meal for one. Here is your to go meal. Healthy, tasty and soft. The fish is so soft that it melts in your mouth.
*Chicken tikka pizza : When a northie is given chicken tikka, in anything it wants to run to it first. The crispy pizza is bae. Chicken and cheese and your set to relax and enjoy the pizza and the view.
DESSERTS
*New York cheese cake : This thing was the most unexpected dish . I have been very sceptical with cheese cakes always. The good good cheese was sooo fresh and the luscious. Must recommend.
*Seven layer cake . The chocolate lover, had to attack on something chocolaty. This layer of just chocolate and divine love of 7 layers . Did make me happy .
*Brownie shake and Blueberry smoothie.
The brownie shake was the show stealer. Looking for something healthy then do try the blueberry smoothie.
*Baklava, a Turkish sweet dish. I had just visited turkey and had not even forgotten the taste of it. Found something similar here. Sweet and the plating was just so appealing.
Meal for 2 is about 800-1000 approx.
Do visit the place and lemme know your reviews 😀
Have a great week.

Morning nectar makes the face and body glow. This lotion nourishes the body and softens the skin. It consists of honey,wheatgerm and seaweed. It has made my skin so soft and supple, that whoever touches wants to know my secret.
Dandelion being my favourite flower. I knew I had to try this product. So this serum is a ageless one. It makes you look younger forever and ever. Much like what any girl/lady would wish for. It has a combination of pure dandelion, rich in Vitamin E and minerals, blended with nutmeg oil. It can be used on any skin and i feel my dark spots clearing slowly . This products are all natural and no side effects on any.

Aam Papad Paneer: Paneer and lotus tossed with special sun-dried mango. Total chatpata, khata meetha ( sweet/sour) .

This gravy can be eaten with chur chur paratha or nan or even tandoori roti. This is a whole meal in itself, which would be enough for one person.
Chatka Chole kulche : Chickpeas cooked in the tin the asli punjab way, with chole masala crushed with pomegranate and served with tandoori aloo kulche. The aloo kulche took me back to Amritsar and wanted to have more, but was too full alrady with so much food. If you want to try the real punjabi food then you should order this.
Bombay lunch home- veg curry and banana leaf rice : This is a vegetarian must must order dish. Veg curry mixed with crispy fried noodles served with rice mixed in coconut mill. The sweet and the masaledar taste gave a deadly combo. The papad given the more crunchy feel. In to totally was in love with this one.
The chicken briyani is also a must try dish there.
Dessert :
Parathe filled with loads of chocolate is my dream dessert. I found my calling. This is called the Grandma’s Chocolate treat. Something you can have any point of time. Do try.
When we were kids and we used to fight to have ice cream sandwich, exactly what happened the other day too., My still and always favourite bourbon ice-cream.
The Puwa/ drinks :
My heart was taken by the Jaipur gulaboo and Mango tango.
The new menu is available in both the branches.
Price for two people would be 1500-2000 approx.

I start my day with the berries and chia seeds. Followed by Chamomile tea😀 love the essence and smell it gives to brew my mornings.
The freshness of being able to take chia seeds and feeling less bloated and berries adding that khatta meetha flavour.
Tip on chia seeds you can soak it over night in water , maybe in a mud glass or steel glass to give you the fresh feel in the morning.
Chamomile tea is my favourite, of all the products. I love how it kicks my mornings and makes me feel pumped and refreshed. All ready to kick start the day.
The gond katira I did make ladoos of it, and the sweet taste just melted in my mouth. Recommend to people who want to start a healthy lifestyle and give a change to their well being.
Must recommend these products the price range starts from 500 to 2000. Depends on each products.
TAKE2 at Kodambakkam .
My food review and how much I loved the place is below.
It was a Wednesday night. Really like the place as it nice and cozy. The icing on the cake was the band called ‘on that note’who played that night.
Food review:
My 5 picks from what we ate!
Green chilly chicken : A lover of chilly chicken had to order this, for obvs. Soft chicken with little spices and green capsicum and chillies. It wasnt completely chinese. But I think more of desi chinese. Which I liked.
Jamaican Fish : the best best dish of the lot. Filled with cumins, peppers and paparika.. Totally nailed this dish. The soft soft fish going into my mouth and melting.. I knew I found my fav dish here. Definitely recommend.
Salt pepper mushroom : When u order so much non veg it gets difficult to like any vegetarian dish. But I found the go to dish for any vegiie is this. Mushroom fried and sauted in salt and pepper. Perfectly blended and tasted soo good.
4.I ordered a chicken spaghetti pasta. Normally what happens is many places forget to put salt or like to leave the dish bland. But this place had the pasta which was with the right amount of salt and spices. Recommend this tooo.. 5. The darth rum drink mixed with ice, chocolate, rum .

Pav bhaji, chilli planner, roti, tawa pulav and totto fruti falooda.
Pav Bhaji: when someone says Pav bhaji I only think of chowpathy . But to my surprise this one was actually tasting similar to what I usually have. I feel masala could have been lesser and the quantity is good. Pav was soft. Did make me feel I am in mumbai.
Chilli panner: the most winning dish. Desi Chinese and me go hand in hand. I love panner and Chinese. This had the perfect blend of it. Totally must try.
Tawa Pulav: One more Mumbai specialty. the rice was not cooked well. But I felt thePulav could be more sauted. Less quantity. But tasted pretty good.
Tooti frooti falooda: again a winning dish..Must Must try.. thw kulfi and tooti frooti werw the sweet end to our dinner.
Recently i visited @mamagotofunasian .
When the chef makes a special dish for you. Your in for a double treat.
I was served a Mojito to start with.
The main course was Spicy chicken with basil leaves and Spicy bangkok bowl.
The spicy chicken was soo tender and tasty that it made me finish it in seconds. The perfect blend of spices, the soft chicken melting in ur month.. yumm😍
The spicy bangkok bowl has jasmine rice topped with chicken spicy gravy . The chicken is minced. When served they mix the rice and gravy and add the spices , egg on top. This being my favourite and the perfect main course. It fills your stomach and makes you want more. 😋

So when a new place opens.. you get superbly excited and when the place just attracts you by its decor and the food you know. You have reached the right destination.. The perfect pinterest cafe/restaurant is here.. photo worthy, soo pretty and soo nicely made that it makes u want to bw clicked everywhere.. Coming to food.. we ordered, oreoshake, cheese crunchies, a plate of kulcha and chola .
Review:
The oreo shake was made in thr right thickness and perfectly blended. Tasted really good. The oreo been added on top made the shake more tastier..
I thought the bottle was small compared to the price . But the taste was really good.
The cheese crunchies is nothing but idli sauted with salsa sauce and cheese.. it was nice and crispy , best part it was served quickly. We did not have to wait long for the food to arrive. Plus points for that. The taste was nice. Not to spicy and cheesy.. The last and the best dish I had was the plate, which had kulcha, dal, chola , gulab jamun, onion and raita.. this is a full plate for 290rs and it can fill one persons stomach..
The makhmi dal was the killer, finally after a really long time i got the right taste of delhi food. The kulcha and chola making u go back to amritsar.. now u get all this here in chennai..
Very tasty, piping hot food. Right preparation and served with all that u need in. A full combo.
Price:
The oreo shake was about 170
The crunchies 205
And 2 combo 290 each
I felt the pricing is on a higher side. our bill came upto 1100. Plus taxes. But delicious food.

Being my second beauty blog. I hope, to cover certain things what have not been written or told about. Recently I had a great difficulty to decide which foundation is good and affordable and something which I could use for a daily basis. Alas after a lot of research and talking to like a billion people I finally found one base which I think is perfect for me on my current situations.
Lets start with what is a foundation : Foundation is a skin-coloured makeup applied to the face to create an even, uniform colour to the complexion, to cover flaws and, sometimes, to change the natural skintone. Some foundations also function as a moisturizer, sunscreen, astringent or base layer for more complex cosmetics.
A foundations covers your basic face tone and if you wish to cover your under eye and blemishes, pimples more you add a concealer with it. But a foundation is definitely a must buy for any girl out there. For more even tone and brighter look for your face, for daily basis.
P.S:Do not forget to clean up your make- up by the end of the day, with a tissue, baby oil, coconut oil or any make- up remover.
Phase 2: Which foundation: Foundations are a varied one but someone who wanted something affordable and an everyday use one. I will be giving you options from low to high .
The most most important fact is to know your tone. It makes it easier to buy your foundation.Always go to a drug store or make up store to select a few shades that seem close to your natural skin tone. Make sure to check it in natural light, since stores usually have fluorescent bulbs. Try the color on your jawline, not on your wrists and hands to check . As everyone has a different skin tone and type always try it on your skin for a day and come back and buy it. DO NOT HURRY TO BUY YOUR FOUNDATION. GIVE IT A DAYS TIME.
Top 5 foundations I recommend :
Nykaa SKINgenius Sculpting & Hydrating Foundation :
It comes in 5 tones Pure Ivory, Almond beige ,Warm Sand, True Tan and Golden Honey. Rate : 575 reasonable , light weight sets right to the skin, the best part it blends in the skin even if the tone is lighter or darker. Enriched with Hyaluronic Acid Features exquisite Polylift technology and color-adapting pigments. Definite buy for a daily wear.
Maybelline New York Fit Me Foundation
Its 25 percent anti shine per-lite, micro blurring powders, make visible pores and shine disappear, getting you the perfect selfie ready look. 6 shades, Ivory, Medium beige, Natural buff, Sun beige, Toast and Toffee.Its a Matte finish foundation, can get slightly peachy, pinkish for fairer skin. But do not forget to try before buying.
Price : 525rs
Lakme 9 to 5 Weightless Mousse Foundation
Its Extremely lightweight base blends effortlessly onto skin to conceal imperfections. Its Long lasting, daily wear, for work parties etc..The 4 office-wear shades Rose Ivory, Beige Vanilla, Beige Caramel and Rose Honey. Price: 575 rs
Kaya Complexion Perfector Cream
Blurs imperfection and fine lines. It brightens and evens out skin tone,which smoothes and Hydrates the skin. Protects from harmful UVA / UVB rays (SPF 25) and free radicals. Price: 990rs
Last and my most favourite:
M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid SPF 15
Long-wearing, 24 hours hours. It reduces appearance of pores.Controls oil and shine. Non-drying. For all skin types, especially oily skin For all skin types, especially oily skin.Provides stay-true colour .Non-streaking . Non-caking and Non-settling best thing that it looks perfect for photos. Price 2500.
Its pricey but a one time buy and you can be assured to chill for like 2 years. Most recommended.
How to apply a foundation base.
Apply to skin using a sponge or foundation brush.
Blend with fingers, sponge or brush.
Using fingers are the best way to blend the cream and its covers all the part evenly, give it time to set.
Before you apply the power.
Practice practice till you get to blend the right way.
Most important point, use 2 fingers and dab all the way, is the key.
Hope this information helps you to buy your foundation right.
This is not a paid or sponsored activity. Its out of interest.

While everyone is showing you what to wear and how to get dressed this Diwali. I have come up with a better way to relax yourself! 😀 Join me and let me share you an estatic experience I had in Siddh Spa at Hyatt Regency Chennai.
The Hyatt Regency Chennai, is one of the favourite hubs. Be it the restaurants or the 365 A.S., There is something about the place which makes you feel comfortable. The service and the food is just close to heart.I was invited for a special treat at the Siddh Spa in Hyatt itself. Must say I was a excited, who doesn’t like to get a special spa treatment.
So when I entered I was greeted by Mr Dinesh Goswami, the Spa director. Very warm welcome, He showed me around the place. They have the largest gym.
I was shown around the spa, the spa has about 5 rooms, Jacuzzi, steam and a huge dressing room. Oh oh the best part they have a couples room also for all you couples out there.
Couple Room!
I quickly changed and was taken to the relaxing room, where i was told to relax and have some fresh juice and fill a form . About myself, which would help them to give me a better massage.
Relaxation Room!
Then I was taken to my room and the first cleaned my leg in some flower petals water and told me to relax while they did so …
P.S: I was already calm and excited, with the care and pampering i was getting. Totally ready to de- stress and forget the world behind .
So before I talk about my experience let me tell you a bit about Siddh and the kind of treatments, the products are Eco friendly and very safe to use. So here it goes:
The Siddha science is a traditional treatment system generated from Tamil culture. Palm leaf manuscripts say that the Siddha system was first described by Lord Shiva to his wife Parvati. Parvati explained all this knowledge to her son Lord Karthikeya. He taught all these knowledge to his disciple sage Agasthya. Agasthya taught 18 Siddhars and they spread this knowledge to human beings.
Siddha focused to “Ashtamahasiddhi,” the eight supernatural power. Those who attained or achieved the above said powers are known as Siddhars. There were 18 important Siddhars in olden days and they developed this system of medicine. Hence, it is called Siddha medicine.
The Siddh Spa and Fitness Centre at Hyatt Regency Chennai provides the guests and members an oasis of luxury. A first–of-its-kind spa concept, inspired from the 10,000 year old Siddha – Siddh Spa is the complete path to well-being.
Siddha meaning “perfect” aims to tap into the primordial wisdom of traditional medicine and is believed to rejuvenate dysfunctional internal systems to promote natural wellness and re balance the ideal ratio of Vatham, Pitham and Kapham.
The kinds of massages:
1.Vatham
For those seeking peace of mind and inner stillness, the path of “Tranquility” balances ‘Vatham” to offer deep calm.
2. Pitham
For those seeking to replenish and fortify, the path of “Restore” balances “Pitham” to offer nourishment.
3. Kapam
For those seeking to boost energy and purify the body, the path of “Radiance” balances “Kapam” to offer energy and vitality.
4. Nidra-Vatham
With Jasmine offering a warm deeply relaxing effect, this traditional massage offers a constant flow of long firm, downward strokes.
Rates for the above treatments
My experience:
Relaxation at its best. The pressure points were pressed with ultimate perfection. The therapist worked on every part one by one. She kept asking about me being comfortable and If I was getting the right pressure. The massages was such a stress – buster, must say. I almost slept through the therapy. That’s the best part isn’t it? Going to a whole new place, and getting the pampering you wish for. I was totally energised after the massage and was ready to take the world. I would definitely give the therapy a 5 on 5 and a must recommended one. Its better then the few spa I have gone to in Chennai.
Who doesn’t like to be pampered and get the best out of it. So do not waste time and book your appointment right now. Reasonable and perfect pampering this season time. Or actually any day.
If you have enjoyed the post, do head to the spa right now and get the best package in town for some me time 😀

Palam Silks launched “Swatantra” The Freedom of Choice with its Four Different Collection for this Festive Season
They presented Four Different Collections that tributes to the Women’s Growing Power of Choice.
The Corporate Collection
The Magna Collection
The Spectra Collection
The Vista Collection
Palam Silks celebrates this Festive Season with The Freedom Of Choice
“SWATANTRA”
For the longest time, women haven’t had the choice to do as they please. But that isn’t how it is any more. Today, it is the woman who decides what a woman can do, and what she cannot. As it turns out, there is very little she cannot do.
She can choose to be a homemaker, or a CEO, or both. She can choose to ride solo to the Himalayas, or stay single. She can choose to step over lines other people from other ages drew for her. She can decide to ignore outdated prejudices and she can shape her own future.
This is a freedom movement that began before India’s independence and is still gathering strength. Palam Silks wishes to be part of this movement, and to celebrate the victories achieved so far.As part of Deepavali and festive season portfolio, Palam presents four new collections that are tributes to women’s growing power of choice.
“Each of our Deepavali and festive season collections is unique in its own way,” says Jeyasree Ravi of Palam Silks. “And every saree in our new portfolio makes a loud and clear statement. It is designed for today’s woman; she knows what she likes, and she knows how to get it too.”
The Corporate Collection
Made of lightweight, wrinkle-free, subtly shaded silk, these Kanchivarams are as much at home in a boardroom as a wedding reception. Because women wish to choose not just their careers, but also the way they dress for them. The price ranges from 7,000 to 25,000.
The Magna Collection
With big, bold bhuttas, these Kanchivarams make a beautifully loud and clear statement, with magnified motifs and vibrant colors that burst on to the scene. Because women choose not to blend with the background. The price ranges from 15,000 to 24,000.
The Spectra Collection
Pure Kanchivaram silk, intricately interwoven with silk yarn that is dipped in brilliantly colorful dyes. Each saree is a masterpiece, with dozens of hours of painstaking, expert craft needed to achieve the dreamlike, shimmering colors. It’s what women wear when they decide to look stunning. Price ranges from 12,000 to 20,000.
The Vista Collection
This is fine art you can wear. Stunning landscapes and scenes from nature are woven with magical skill into the borders of authentic Kanchivarams. Paintings are not always made with a paint brush. Price ranges from 10,000 to 22,000
The show stopped Jackie walked the ramp and charmed the stage away.
These 4 collections are available in all the 3 stores of Palam Silks in Chennai at Pondy bazaar, Luz church road (Mylapore) and Anna nagar 2nd Avenue.
Cant wait for the collection to go live and wish to pick them all.. So elegant yet classsy and what a better way to look fab with palam silks sarees! 😀

The little Italy at Nungambakkam is one stop for the best Italian in town.
Being it vegetarian, I was a little hesitant at first. But the decision to make a stop to this restaurant was worth .
Let me start with thanking Mr Vimal Shah and the excellent Head chef and manager Mr Pradeep Shetty, for making us feel at home. With the lovely food coming by and the finger licking food making us want more 😀
The Food review:
Soup and appetizers :
Crema Di Fungi
Pomodoro Limestrone
Crema di fungi – the mushroom and cream based cream soup. The creamy texture and the right soft mushrooms, makes you feel warm and comforting. I did try the Pomdoro which is a tomato based one. Definitely for my pick it would be the crema di fungi.
Supreme Nachos
Lets Nacho the supreme style. What a better way to start your meal with this finger- licking filled with cheese and veggies nachos. Lettuce, Tomato, Olives, Jalapenos & Melted Cheese it tasted like a lot of love had been drizzled in. The crunchy freshly baked nachos with the fresh veggies and hot cream cheese is to die for and the best I have had by far in the city. The salsa sauce also was well blended with oregano and tasted well with the nachos.
Spinaci Salsa
The crispy bread and creamy spinach dip was the second starter we had. The dip is what did the wonders of just melting in my mouth . Yes there are more options available for the dips and breads you can choose from.
Pace Di Potato
Main Course:
Can you believe it? A potato skin fried dish. Yes this is what Pace di potato is.. Loved loved this dish the most from all the three.. Unique in its way, not too fried, not oily just yummness in my mouth. The mayo red chilli dip was the perfect combo to complete the dish. Do do try this dish.. Double thumbs up!
Chefdon Pizza (Special)
This pizza was freshly and specially baked for us, What a delight it was. Being a fan of thin crust pizza, this automatically became my favourite. The veggies and panner did good justice to the crispy pizza. Good quantity for 3-4 people and every bite you take was loaded and mouthful.
Pasta del Barone
Tangy, zingy, spicy Ravioli , was spot on my kinds pink sauce based pasta. The spinach filling inside the ravioli was a great attempt, as it made the pasta more tasty and spicy in every bite. Must must try this one. Double thumbs up.
Risotto di Verdre
Not being a big fan of the risotto but did make me want to try, as the presentation of the dish was bang on. Nicely sprinkled with herbs, and the taste soft and melting in the mouth. The right salt, sauces did make me start liking risottos. Cannot believe I just said that 😀
PRIMAVERA
The aroma of olive oil tossed noodles were the cookie points were taken.Trying to be healthy and still want to eat Italian , there you go best dish to have. This veggies and noodles combo was a win win.Do try this one too.
Desserts:
TIRAMISU
CHOCOLATE BOMB
Apologies for not uploading the Sizzling Chocolate walnut picture, but yes the soft soft brownie and some lovely ice cream and the hot hot sauce was to die for. The spongy and fluffy brownie did get cookie points too.. Double thumbs up.
Tiramisu being my favourite dish, did get the first attention. Soft, delicious is the way it should be. Having a sweet tooth makes you want to have more, but the calories you take in do make you run a little longer the next day 😀
The last but not the least Chocolate Bomb, the hot chocolate lava falling when you cut the fluffy portion is the melting point. Yum yum totally yummy, I did finish the whole myself. Guilty as charged. But definitely worth it!
Oh oh before I forget we did try the Mojito aslo which was the refreshing thing to gulp all the flip-smacking food we ate:D
Verdict:
I have by far never ever given a 5 on 5 to any restaurant, But this way did beat it, the service, food is perfect as they say. Thank you for making us want to come again and again. The lip- smacking food and the chef himself making a point to come and look at us enjoying the food was the cheery on the top. Thank you Pradeep sir.
Guys do go and enjoy the lovely italian food at Little Italy and spread the word:D
Ambiance : 4/5
Taste : 5/5
Service : 5/5
For three people it would come up to 1500 apporx.

My first ever Onam Sadhya. Thank you @samminator for calling me and making me experience something out of my comfort zone.
Sadhya means a variety of dishes traditionally served on a banana leaf in Kerala, India. During a traditional Sadhya celebration people are seated cross-legged on mats.
The main dish is plain boiled rice, served along with other dishes collectively called Kootan which include curries like parippu, sambar, rasam, pulisseri and others like kaalan, avial, thoran, olan, pachadi, kichadi, koottukari, mango pickle, pulinji, naranga achaar (lime pickle), as well as papadam, plantain chips, sharkara upperi, banana, plain curd and buttermilk. The traditional dessert called Payasam served at the end of the meal is of many kinds and usually three or more are served. Some of the varieties are Paal Ada, Ada Pradhaman, Paripu pradhaman, chakkapradhaman, etc. The ‘Kootan’ are made with different vegetables and have different flavours; some say the reason for including so many dishes in the Sadhya is to ensure that the diners will like at least a few dishes.
Some communities, especially those in the northern part of Kerala, include non-vegetarian dishes in the sadhya. Although custom was to use traditional and seasonal vegetables. Tradition has it that Onion and garlic are not typically used in the sadhya. Conventionally, the meal may be followed by, chewing of betel leaf with lime . This helps digestion of the meal and also cleanses the palate.
The food tasting session began and I was excited to try my first sadhya. Being in south and not really been a fan of coconut smell in my food. I was hoping to like and not sense the smell I ate.
To my surprise there wasn’t any smell. Thank God and I quickly grabbed the paratha and started munching away with the gravies given.
Lets talk about the menu first : below is the variety of things served to us. Must tell you I loved every bit of what was served.
The APPAM, Paratha were very soft and my most favourite. The ghee rice served along with this was delicious, the ghee pouring from the rice and the aroma of the fresh hot ghee was just the thing I was looking for to have with my side dishes.
We ordered starters also which were mushroom masala, crispy potato, veg cutlet, cauliflower fried and Baby corn crispy. Well non veg starters were a variety of them to the ones i remember, as I dint get a chance to taste them , some were Chicken chukka, prawns crispy, chicken cutlet etc.
Food review:
I loved every bit of the food there, be it the paratha, the channa masala, the rasam, the appam, the starters. The right quantity of masalas, less salt which I like. The aroma and the taste of all the side dishes actually made me finish the whole plate, like a good girl.
Must must try the dishes. Whenever you go to Crimson Chakra.
Not sure if you will get to try all the dishes which we did, but you can request .
The veg thali with starters around!
The price range was 300 veg and 400 non veg.

Warning : There are going to be a looottt of food pictures ahead. Please read after eating or grab something and hop on the food train to Pakwan!
IT’S Pakwan’s first anniversary and what a better way to celebrate, with the fellow food bloggers. Making it a big feast with a variety of lip- smacking food and some fun games to add to the celebrations.
It was a 4 course meal. From soup to desert, will be posting all the pictures and will be writing few lines about the taste.
Starting with the Tomato Basil soup, the taste was just up to normal. Nothing great about it, Was a little sweet. But was a fine start to the meal ahead.
CORN AND SPINACH DIM SUM :
The most favourite appetizer of the day and stole my heart was the Steam Corn Dim Sum. This reminded me of the non- veg dim sums I normally binge on. This was truly a surprise and the best starter. The corn and spinach were nicely blended with the right amount of salt in it. The outer layer was soft as well as was the filling inside.
Definitely a MUST Try!
CRISPY WATER CORN CHESTNUT:
The crispy corn, the second best starter of the day. This Chinese dish is also a must try there. The blend of sweet and sour sauce made the corn so tasty and made me munch more than I should have had hides face.
There was a Pani Puri competition happened, which I did not participate in. But was fun cheering for the contestants. Dint get a chance to try the pani, But the ones who did surely loved it.
ZAMINDARI ACHARI ALOO:
I am going to admit that by far the first time, I have thulped more starters than the main course. The barbecued achari aloo was, totally masaledar (filled with masala/powder), totally achari (pickle) and totally mouth watering.
Double thumbs up!
MIXED VEGGIES AND GARLIC BREAD : ( Not sure pf the actual name)
But the garlic bread was crispy and perfect. The veggies were not that great. not something I like much.
MAIN COURSE MEAL :
VEGGIE SIZZLER
The rice was I like mixed with some oregano and good salt, did make the rice taste well. The cutlet could have been better, maybe the wasn’t fried right of something went wrong there. The veggies were good boiled well and tasted good.
DAL PAKWAN :
Commonly known as dal makhni, who doesn’t love a good brewed dal? Was exceptionally happy to find a place which makes really good dal makhni. Kudos to that. The right amount of everything is a must try .
LASUNI PALAK:
The spinach was also a good dish, I did end up having more of the gravies then the roti. So apologies of adding only the gravies pictures. Spinach filled with garlic, what could a north-Indian girl ask for?
SABZI KEEMA AMRITSARI :
I swear the last dish for the day.. When you hear keema, you think non-veg, but what better way when they make something as yummy.
The keema amritsari melted in my mouth, malai on top with the softness of the sazi want more. Do try them . Double thumbs up!
Desserts… who wants to be de- stressed with the sweetness and abundant food we ate..
The gulab jamun was yummilicious. Normally not a sweet- tooth person fell in love witht the jamun and the crispy fried.
ALL in all loved the wholesome meal at Pakwan. Get to the nearest Pakwan now at 10 , Kuppuswamy Street, T Nagar, Chennai, Tamil Nadu 600017

When all your senses activate. When just realising that if one of your senses stop working. WHAT would you do? Let’s all start with thanking God for blessing us. 😀
Recently I went for an exhibition which was showcased at Dialogue in the Dark.
Where we were taken in a dark room, a lovely voice spoke to us and guided us all the way . The things I felt, heard, touched and sensed made me realised , that so many time we fail to use our other senses. We have been lucky and blessed to be the way we are. I thank Anant the owner of the DID to give us such an amazing opportunity!
We touched some lovely jewelry from Jewlot . Some earrings, jhumkas, wedding sets, north and south Indian. Some really beautiful jewelry.
Well I had a fascinating experience while touching one of the pieces , I don’t quiet remember what it’s called. But a south Indian mala ( necklace) made of beautiful beads. Somehow I actually guessed the colour right , without even seeing or actually evening know what exactly hoe the piece looks. I told them that it’s red in colour. To my shock and others it was the colour.
I would say the best 45 minutes of my life. I would not give you more details on what else we did. But its a truly beautiful experience one should not miss.
Get your family, friends, everyone you know to Dialogue in the Dark @ Express Avenue Chennai.
Live the most magical 45 minutes of your life .

Embracing the true flavors of North India, Copper Chimney is hosting ‘The Great Indian Kabab Festival’ with a variety of kebab specially prepared in Indian spices, herbs, and garnishes, this festival is truly a grand ‘desi’ treat.
Winters are the ideal time to dig in the unforgettable experience of food. Enjoy the delicious rustic and smoky flavors of kebab, only at Copper Chimney.
Such great perks a food blogger gets. So glad to be a part of it.
So starting of our Saturday dinner we decided, to try the yum kebabs of the much famous Copper Chimney.
Staturday being a vegetarian day, we ended up having veg. But to my suprise the veg actually took me wanting to go again there for the same.
Started of with tomato soup. right consistency , not to sweet or sour. a good way to start the course. We then had a veg kebab platter.
Which had panner tikka, mushrrom stuffed, panner methi,aloo tadka, and corn sheek kebab. All of them just melted in my mouth.
The panner was so soft and rightly cooked, the less salt and right masala just made my day. The mushrrom being my favourite pick from the lot. Sogt soft mushrrom crushed melting in your mouth, wrapped tandoor coating.
Let me quickly get to the main course, before I loose track in the tasty food trail.
We ordered dal makhni, mixed vegetable sabzi and belt of tandoori roti and roomali roti.
The dal makhni took me back to the punjab days. How I felt I was in Delhi , finger licking the dal. The vegtable sabzi was well tossed with masala and different vegeratbles , good side dish with the dal. The dal makhni is a must recommend.
The costing was about 1500 person approx.
Would give it about 4 stars.
Happy Eating !

Nasi and mee means “rice and noodles” in Bahasa and Mee coming from the Cantonese noodles. The South East Asian food restaurant is located in Khader Nawaz Khan road , besides Cafe Coffee Day.
The inspired food items are a mixture of malay, chinese, singapore and thai cuisine.
The moment I entered the smell of authentic rich aroma of the Malaysian foods which could be sensed across make me want to jump in and start ordering already.
Being my favourite cuisine and have some personal love for Asian cuisine . I couldn’t wait to try the food out.
Started of with ordering few things together actually. So we ordered Kung Pao chicken, Pad thai noodles , Nasi goreng and Chicken Satay.
Starting of with the Kung pao chicken- The soft tender chicken with cashew and tossed with sichuan sauce.Loved the chicken, it was soft, went well with the nasi goreang we ordered. It is semi-dry so you can have it as a starter or add on with your rice.
Pad Thai Noodle: My all time must have noodles. A Thai favourite made out of rice stick noodles, beansprouts and tofu and chicken added. Served with red chili flakes, sugar and peanuts. This is a wholesome meal, you donot need anything for sides. Until your really hungry. Totally a plus for the noodles, perfectly cooked. Soft and perfect to eat. My must try item.
Nasi Goreng : The Malaysian version of fried rice. Fried rice is a dish of cooked rice that has been stir-fried in a wok or a frying pan and, usually, mixed with other ingredients, such as eggs, vegetables, and meat.This rice was topped with fried egg and two sides were given along, chicken tandoor and thai fried chips. must recommend dish again. The rice was cooked well, the taste was just apt. Made me feel I was in Malaysia .
Last but not the last..
Chicken Satay: Grilled Chicken cubes marinated in luscious mix of shallots, garlic and ground spice. The Malaysian chicken, is eaten as a starter. The Satay was soft soft and definitely made me say yumm after eating them.
The staff was very courteous and sweet. We were also given a complimentary Red Ruby desert. This is basically water chestnuts dipped in rose syrup and blended with milk.
Totally loved the experience have already gone there twice. Must recommend place. Do go try the various cuisines and have a great Asian filled day 🙂
