What defines me? #UseYourAnd



Being an avid reader, I was brought to the realities of world very soon. It made me think rationally and prudently. Education of Literature worked like catalyst and interest in feminism made me ponder more about place of woman in society and somehow those thoughts questioned my own place in society or as a daughter in a family. Blogadda has again take up an initiative where I have got chance to answer all the questions my rational mind keeps asking. #UseYourAnd activity by BlogAdda in association with Gillette Venus quivered my heart and asked me a question,” What you are?”

“I am not an angel,' I asserted; 'and I will not be one till I die: I will be myself. Mr. Rochester, you must neither expect nor exact anything celestial of me - for you will not get it, any more than I shall get it of you: which I do not at all anticipate.”
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre




I love above mentioned quote as I feel it actually defines me. :)
Human being spends whole life in satisfying needs and expectations but being an ardent reader and keen observer, I have witnessed that most of times woman has to pass through these ordeals more than man. Somehow I feel myself damn lucky as I never had to pass through these kind of ordeals. 

I was the second child of my parents. Both, my elder sister and younger brother were engineers. I, being an arts student, always got glares from society for being less intelligent child. Somehow, I took these glares as a challenge and decided to develop myself as a different and intelligent child. I developed myself in such a way that those glaring eyes were now praising me.

My passion for reading brought me into blogging and it became my passion. Along with Blogging, book reviews entered my life. I would really love to thanks BlogAdda   for it as I reviewed any book first time for BlogAdda. My passion for book review and blogging got me fame. It gave me a name. Both eminent and imminent writers approached me to review their books. 
 
I worked as a lecturer before my marriage means before one and half year. I was described as stubborn and impulsive person by my colleagues but my students loved me a lot. This evoked jealousy and continued to rude politics but I remained myself. The reward I got was expulsion, but the love and support of my students became my strength and I continued in life. God graced me when those who played politics with me, repented later on for doing that. 


Passing through these ups and downs, I have come to a stage where I have my identity. Sonal Agrawal, a book reviewer and blogger, who is well known for her authentic reviews. It might not get me much income but the name and praise it gets me is worthless.

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...
