When I started blogging, I was a size 14 to 16. During my school years, I was an L. At the age of 10, I was a good 38KG. Infact, I was born a very healthy baby! It is now that I am a big fat woman of size 18, and growing, with a few […]

Rewind back to five years from now. What was plus size then? A mockery! A way to shame and shut people up and embarrass them and make them feel like some criminal for having a body with not the perfect proportions. There was no mention of fashion and plus size, these 2 terms just didn’t […]

Gemstones have been like an age old tradition in Indian families. They are worn to bid away bad omen and ill health or bring about good luck, wealth and health. Frankly, it didn’t make sense to me.

We all remember Amitabh Bacchan dancing to the tunes of ‘Saara zamaana haseeno ka diwana’ as lights on his jacket flickered to the rhythm of that song. Needless to say, we have all come a long way even though we still stop a bit from time to time to think if Mr Amitabh Bacchan was […]

Like biographies, suspense thrillers find their way to the audience’s heart just because of the genre they belong to.

Rating: 3/5 Phobia is too many things. Phobia can be termed as the new age cinema in genres like horror and thriller. Phobia is refreshing due to its treatment.

Watches stand for two F-words and it is not what you think, corrupt souls 😀 They are Fashion and Functionality. But in this digital age, it is sad to see watches replaced by sleek smart phones. Believe me when I say when one wears a watch, a woman turns into a Lady and a man […]

Rating: 3/5 Stories based on real life are a treat to watch on big screen. Azhar starts with a disclaimer saying the film is not a biography but incidents in the film are inspired by events from Azhar’s life. You can’t resist but question the authenticity of this story but it sure makes a decent […]
