Tried and Tested De-stress Activities

11:29:00


Anyone who knows me, knows already that I am a VERY stressed and anxious person. It’s just in my nature to worry too much about the future and the past. In doing so, I often forget to pay attention to the present.  I make conscious efforts to not let stress get the best of me, sometimes all in vain.  And I am pretty sure I am that many of you will have a similar condition. Stress isn’t something one can get rid of magically to be honest. I do believe, however, that it can be curtailed to quite an extent. I have seen myself grow out of being a total nervous wreck to a relatively calmer (all emphasis on relatively) person and I thought I’d share my secret.

Book Review: The Road to Mecca by Athol Fugard

08:20:00




Before I begin, I must say that having access to your laptop after one whole week feels like a unique kind of blessing! Since I am mostly free nowadays, I have been doing extended ‘sleepovers’ with the cousins and that is why my poor blog ends up suffering.

Coming back to today’s post, I was recommended this one by my cousin; it is actually a part of his literature course at school. “The Road to Mecca” is a script of a small play written by South African playwright Athol Fugard and has nothing to do with Mecca or Islam.

SO read on ONLY if you are ready to welcome the Grammar Nazi version of me!

6 Binge Worthy TV Series that I Could Watch Over and Over

09:16:00



For me, watching TV shows trumps watching movies. I like building up an attachment with the main characters and of course it leaves me devastated (melodramatic much?) once the show ends. Sniff. To be honest, it’s a little difficult to keep up with the shows when you’re working full time. BUT. When you’re on holidays… Hallelujah!! I think I have made it in time for people to catch at least one of the shows I’ve listed below during the Eid holidays and if not then the winter holidays coming very very soon (only three months away, no big deal)! Alright so the following are my all-time favourite family drama (I am a BIG sucker for those), romance and comedy TV shows that I honestly could watch over and over again! And I’m sure that most people must have seen these, but those who haven’t, please get your hands on them ASAP!
