Ashwati Menon is an emerging star in literary world. She already made critics take her note through her short story in Drenched souls-Moonlit Matinee 2. ‘Scarred for Life, Healed Forever’ is her first novel and as a reviewer, as a reader I must say she has achieved what she wanted. There are very few works which can absorb my attention totally and this one made to that list. I put aside all of my tasks and continued to read the novel. I completed it in one sitting and I must say Ashwati has got awesome future in this field. 

‘Scarred for Life, Healed Forever’ is story of a girl Nishtha Vaidya, who is next door girl living in Ahmedabad. She seems quite normal girl, if you meet her in a restaurant or on a road, walking by her, you won’t be able to predict anything about her. She seems quite a blessed child of God. With loving parents, caring elder brother and grand job due to her tremendous educational qualification, she seems the luckiest person on this earth. However, it is said that God has always balanced everyone’s life by giving each and everyone their share of luck and bad luck. Nishtha has also faced this wrath of God in her life and blessed or better to say cursed with some special powers. She gets selected for Foreign Student Exchange Program and goes to Australia. She is enjoying life with few friends like Paulina, Andrew and Jordan, where their ill-fate strikes them and they face Tsunami. Like a miracle, Nishtha is the only Indian to survive. Tsunami snatches away Paulina, Andrew and Jordan. This fact affects her the most and her mind power which was already active gets hyper active and she develops some powers. She has the power of visions. She can forecast upcoming events and can save people.

What this powers of influencing and forecasting will do to Nishtha?

Will she get the ultimate happiness in her life?

Novel is really a good one, at some points it seems loosening its grip but at next moment it again clutches the reader. Some points could be more clarifying and entertaining. Few characters could be given extra light, yet novel is a good read.

My overall rating for this work is 3.5/5

Review of Mother Sparsh Baby Body Wash

Image
Hey beautiful ladies out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks to my darling Jisha I rarely get time to review products. But I must say with her arrival in my life I have also got an opportunity to review baby products. Being new mommy I was curious about using chemical laden products on my tiny angel. So I searched a bit about Ayurvedic baby products. As I searched a bit , came across many brands but a brand named Mother Sparsh grabbed my attention.  I got whole kit of Mother Sparsh's all products. The kit in which I got all the products is quite spacious and bigger one. Every time I travel, I use same kit to carry my baby's medicines and other toiletries.  Now let's come to the product which I will be reviewing today. It's Mother Sparsh baby body wash.  Key ingredients:  All ayurvedic Ingredients like Aloe vera leaves, Neem bark, Holy basil leaves, Olive oil, Turmeric,   Product claims:  It claims to clean the skin, retains moisture ...

She is Mardaani

मैं हूँ वो तोहफा ईश्वर का, जो जन्मा एक हड्डी के टुकड़े से. मैं हूँ वो ठंडी सी हवा, जो आँधी भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो छोटा सा ज़रना, जो बाढ़ भी बन सकता हे, मैं हूँ वो हलकी सी बौछार, जो अतिवृष्टि भी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो बिखरने वाली लहर, जो सुनामी बन सकती हे. मैं हूँ वो अबला नारी, जो जरुरत पड़ने पे मर्दानी भी बन सकती हे. From the moment God decided to create Eve from rib of Adam, He gave a kind of authority to Man , to rule and mistreat Woman. From the primitive age Woman is considered as the  weaker sex and always considered as a “Creature created by God to entertain, to serve, to please Man.” These few words represent the mentality of Man for Woman and throws light on the ‘dark corners of the stage, where woman cries, when away from stage’, applies extra make up to hide the wounds and to be called a fashionable Diva. Everything has got certain limitations in this world and whenever this limitation is crossed the unexpected happens. Same is the case with Wo...

Holi skincare tips with Cocodew Cold pressed Coconut Oil

Image
Ask me which festival is my favourite and I will choose Holi over any festival. Colourful faces beaming with joy is everything to me.  After arrival of Jisha I took break from Holi for 2 years because of my fear of harmful chemicals affecting her delicate skin.  She loves Holi but I made her play with water and she would ask why can't we play with colours. So after bit of research and tricks last year I discovered one trick that would let us play Holi without fear of damaging our skin or hair. To play Holi without getting affected by harmful chemicals You need 2 things.  1. Cold pressed Virgin Coconut Oil. 2. Good Sunscreen Lotion. Market is flooded with various brands claiming to sell Cold pressed coconut oil but very few actually stand by their claim. Recently I got this Cold pressed coconut oil from brand named Cocodew.  Decided to use this for Jishu's skin and loved the way it made her skin softer and shinier. I have made it our routine to...
