Find your skin type

Skin is one of the most important organs of the body. Healthy skin is slightly moist, soft, flexible, and free from any disease or disorder and is smooth and fine.

To look beautiful one has to choose correct product and for that one should know his/her skin type which is most important. It’s very easy to analysis your skin type.

The skin is divided into various types according to texture. Just check your skin type from the information below.

Normal Skin : A normal skin has a fine, even texture, with a supple & smooth surface. It has a proper combination between oil and moisture contents & so, normal skin is moist & neither greasy nor dry. It looks clear and does not develop spots & blemishes. The pores of skin are smooth.

Dry Skin : Dry skin has a tendency to flake easily. It is prone to wrinkles and lines. It is caused be insufficient secretion of sebum. Dry skin also has inability to retain moisture and age faster than normal and dry skins.


Oily Skin : This type of skin caused by an over secretion of sebum by the oil glands, making the skin surface oily. The pores are enlarged and give the skin a coarse appearance and texture. The excess oil on the surface attracts dust and dirt.

Combination Skin : It is partly oily and partly dry. The oily parts are generally the chin, nose and forehead known as T-Zone. The upper cheeks show oiliness but the rest of the face and neck area is dry. The pores in the T-Zone are enlarged while in the cheek area they are small to medium.

Heart Beating Season, Monsoon

For many, it’s season of ‘Love’
How patiently and anxiously the people wait for rains arrival. And if unfortunately the rains are delayed, the people go to temples, mosques and churches to say their prayers. Sometimes they arrange “yajnas” to please Indra the god of rains.
Monsoon makes everyone say “WOW”, breathtaking freshness all around, full of greenery, nature at its full beauty, and for us puneites a season of trekking..!!
Monsoon makes everyone romantic. I think it should be called the season of love, especially for those who have just fallen in love. Yes. I do find the rains very romantic, as everything looks so beautiful. Although monsoons make traveling a problem sometimes, it’s not very bad, A long drive is an awesome way to enjoy monsoon with dear ones.
Many peoples go for trekking to take advantage of nature’s beauty. Some peoples like to capture photos in camera and in eyes too. The Dew we see on flowers and leaves gives most amazing sight which adds more freshness to it beauty. Every one should catch sight of a rainbow which is most wonderful scene with lots of color in sky, that is one of the most beautiful creations of god. There is no word for describing rainy season.
Its gives pleasure to kids, to older ones, to lovers and to everyone.
Kids love to play in water with dancing and jumping, also they like to make paper boats
It is great to even be at home with family, watch TV and sip coffee or simply go to long drive to see scenic view of nature with having some hot butta.
After rains everyone likes to improve their taste bud by eating garama garam Pakodas and that to onion pakoda with tea.
Also with great enjoyment we should take care of our health as lots of diseases spread during rainy season. Due to high humidity in the air there are various bacteria and viruses which become alert and lead to fever, throat infection, skin infection etc. One should avoid outside eating and drink clean and pure water.
In spite of all enjoyment the rain water is most useful in daily use as we use it for drinking , for watering plants, for washing or cleaning and many more purpose.
Despite all the floods and water logging, there’s nothing specifically that we dislike about rainy season.
So enjoy most awesome season …. Monsoon to fullest with your heart and with your mind of course.

How To Become Smart

Everyone wants to be Smart in today’s world, but are wondering how to be one, People assume that they are born with certain qualities and hence they stick to it and assume that they have limitations by birth.

Well, I'm going to let you know a little secret. Often people who think they are born with any limitations isn’t true, they are conditioned to think that way. Look at the other side, no one is born as scientists, they learn throughout their life and make inventions.
This shows that no one is born as a genius; they are born with the natural ways of learning and observing things around them. That's what it all take you down. Most of us don't know how make use of full potential, full confidence, your full hard work which might take you to closer to be smart in today’s world.
I have listed some way’s which I think takes you closer to be a smart person. You need to know on how to properly focus on what you're learning. The key to learning is turn your attention or focus on the subject like laser beam. Some people think they always have to be multitasking e.g. they're on the computer searching some information, but at same time they're sending emails and also eating. This isn't focus or concentration. You're dividing your attention around, you're lucky if you can do even half of your work. So don't multi task. Stick with one thing at a time.
Take advantage of your natural skills. If you're a person that learns with your own skills, put down the textbook and start working with your hands and with your mind. Stop wasting your time trying to learn things some other way told by someone else, do it in the way that you learn the best. Read good books, try to use dictionary everyday, Buy a book for increasing you vocabulary, read dictionary for gathering few words at a time. This will grow you intellectually and take you a step closer to being a Smart person.
Watch the news and talk about recent things that have happened around the world. Try to watch and read current affairs everyday for updates in your knowledge, focus and cultivate interest in subjects like current events, interesting and funny stories, good books and movies, scientific studies and interesting affairs. Watch educational television which is great way to learn.
So in short to bring Discipline & Focus in Life

Heart is better than beauty

Everybody wants to look beautiful , he/she wants appreciation from her/his friends,husband/wife ........

So all of us get attracted towards salon, parlours, spa etc. , to change our look, to look more attractive artificially , that is not bad at all.
But I say this is just superficial , more of outerlook one should get impress by inner personality, see what is inside in her/his mind or soul. One should see others  nature or behaviour like how good this person is , helpfull to others, never get angry, never shout at anybody, care for others, love everyone , how clear her/his mind , not hot-tempered and  dedicated to her/his work,  family and obviously family.

So good person is one  having the qualities which constitute beauty and  pleasing to the sight or the mind of others, also Someone who's compassionate, who's faithful, who has morals, integrity & honesty.
Also a beautiful person is someone who displays love, joy, peace, kindness, goodness, humility, patience and who is faithful . It is someone who displays self control and considers others more important than self. It is someone who is a good friend, a good listener and someone who displays integrity dignity and accountability towards self and towards others. This person does not bad mouth but rather stands up for someone. This is someone who would lay down his life for others not as a servant, but as a true friend. There are few people today who fall into this category and if you find one ,run with that person because that person is positive and someone you can always count on. A true friend.

Anyways I would say that outer appearance of yours is also equally important as it affect your overall personality.
I must say, one should think positively , so that positive thoughts gets attracted towards him.

Try to build positive rings / circles around you , if you do so, automatically negative force or energy get repelled from you, and feel calm, cool, energetic.

If you are clean and fresh from inside, the reflection comes on your face.

For that we have to clear our mind , remove all blocks, be relax and do your work and notice the difference, you are the one who become good beautiful person, a TRUE FRIEND, a TRUE HUMAN.
