Be the cause of a smile :)

You might not know how important your hair is until you face losing it. And if you have cancer and are about to undergo chemotherapy, the chance of hair loss is very high. Both men and women report hair loss as one of the side effects they fear most after being diagnosed with cancer. Chemotherapy drugs are powerful medications that attack rapidly growing cancer cells. Unfortunately, these drugs also attack other rapidly growing cells in your body — including those in your hair roots. Our hair is a unique part of our identity.

My journey from curly hair to straight hair

 Ever since childhood, I was blessed with long thick hair on my scalp. Since then my classmates used to call it as a bird's nest- you can imagine how curly it was!! During my school days, I was fond of, rather jealous of people who had straight hair. I was waiting for that day to come when I too would be having straight and smooth hair.

Now, after four long years, I thought of sharing my thoughts on it.  1.  "How much would it cost?" There are...

Well, I believe that love has got its own definition but many of us fail to explore it. We find many people in love around us. Many a time, in a conservative society, the definition of love remains as a feeling between two individuals. Fortunately, when you come out of a conservative society, you would realise that you are free to love anything around you. You can love your pet, you can love flowers, you can love nature, you can love your family, you can love animals and birds etc....The ability to love is a human quality which we are all blessed with.  We've all got that instinct in us but we fail to recognise it due to unseen reasons.  The need to explore love has immense importance in the contemporary world since there's a larger section of society falling into the web of depression. When you love a pe...
