A Day At Fort JadhavGadh, Pune – Review

I recently visited Fort JadhavGadh in Pune for a quick stay. The place is known because it is an actual fort which is turned into a hotel now, more on that and the actual stay is coming up later in the blog. How To Reach Fort JadhavGadh, Pune So, the place is around a good 3 to 4 hours away from Mumbai, including a quick pit stop. Up until you get off the Mumbai-Pune expressway, it is quite normal but after that your travel time depends on the Pune traffic. Also, the last stretch of the drive is through the interior village roads, so that slows you down a bit because you can’t speed there much. For context, we left from Mumbai at around 11.30 am and reached by 3.15 pm, with a 10 minute pit stop. Once we reached, the exterior of the place takes you back a century and you might as well be a princess returning to your fort. They have done a good job maintaining the facade and the place. However, do keep in mind that you would need to climb several staircases to get around the place. Th

mumbaiyya and mumbaikar

Mumbaiyya and Mumbaikar Mumbaikar, The person who stays in Mumbai is called Mumbaikar. This name generated when Bombay was renamed Mumbai, the Bombayites became Mumbaikars instead of Mumbaites. It is a complete Swadeshi transformation of the name. Many of the Marathi surnames end in 'Kar' showing originating place of the person, the same theory was applied here. Typical Mumbaikar is very easy going person who mixes up with crowd and interacts with others in local slang of Hindi (Mumbaiyya), This interaction is normally seen in public transport and street. The personality of Mumbaikar is mistaken with rudeness (Reader's Digest Survey) due to the language used in common i.e. Mumbaiyya. Commonly strangers are called 'Boss' or with a noise made with lips called 'Mucchh'. Although ladies are always respected and called Madam or Bhen-ji. The life of Mumbaikar is very tightly scheduled according to Railway Time-table. Any effect on world or surroundings never matt

Oriflame’s Giordani Gold CC Cream SPF 35 - Review

My everyday makeup includes BB or CC cream, eye makeup and lipstick. Obviously the routine changes depending on my mood, and how late I am for work. BB creams have been my favorite, for the longest time I have been using Maybelline’s BB cream (Link: http://amzn.to/2x7KmYu ) and I loved it. Recently, I made a switch and used a CC Cream by Lakme (Link: http://amzn.to/2uTdOk6 ), honestly, don’t even try this one out. It makes your skin dry, it is difficult to apply and makes your face look patchy. It also made my face oily after a few hours and I had to blot my face at regular intervals. I then tried out Oriflame’s Giordani Gold CC Cream SPF 35– it is fabulous! It is light on your face and you don’t even feel like you have it on. It gives a medium coverage and is perfect if you are trying to attempt the no-makeup-makeup look. It will not completely hide your blemishes or acne completely but will give you a super natural look. It additionally also has SPF 35, which makes

Oriflame SkinPro Cleansing System – Review

I started using Oriflame SkinPro Cleansing System around a month and a half back. I did to a first impressions on my Instagram (you can follow me there for more such videos. Id is @poojamahimkar). I wanted to give it proper time, use the product daily and then review it, thus such a delay. I was contemplating buying a product like this for a while now, I was planning to get clearsonic but then I got to know that my trusted Oriflame also has a cleansing system, and thus chose to get one from Oriflame. I have been using Oriflame products for a while now and have never been disappointed. Getting to the review, I have been loving what it does to my skin. I use it every night after removing my makeup. You can use it to remove your make up as well, but I noticed that the brush gets dirty with all the makeup. Also you cannot use this to remove your eye makeup, thus I prefer using it after removing my makeup so when I use this, it removes all the makeup that I couldn’t get ou

Uber chronicle

After a long week, it was finally time for the weekend. She couldn’t wait to get home. She checked both Ola and Uber and they both had surge prices, so they were going to charge her more than double the usual fare to get me home. She thus decided to opt for a pool, hoping she will be lucky enough to not share my cab with anyone. She booked a cab, it was four minutes away and she noticed that she had to share it with two other people, she cancelled it. Checked the apps for other options, didn’t find anything. She booked an uberpool again and got the same cab and it was like 30 seconds away from where her location. She cursed herself and unwillingly went downstairs. The cab was waiting just outside the office, she got in. She was sharing the cab with two other men, let’s call them A and B. Driver: hello ma’am, why did you cancel the cab earlier? She: (I was pleasantly surprised that we were conversing in English) Oh, I was just trying my luck. I thought I could find a cab

Poetry by Love and Cheesecake, Bandra - Review

If you are looking for a chic place for your breakfast with the girls, this might be the place for you. The pretty looking place also serves yummy food. I have honestly only tried desserts here and they are delicious! I am soon planning to go there for breakfast as well. It is a little cramped but they do have a seating area upstairs, I honestly like to sit on the ground floor. I also tried their cold coffee, nice but not excellent. Nothing extraordinary but on a hot summer Mumbai afternoon, this can be really refreshing and welcoming. We had a Belgian Chocolate Marquise, Devil’s Desire and a Hazelnut Coffee Frappe All of it was absolutely yum, the Belgian Marquise was soft and creamy with an almost melt in mouth texture. The Devil’s Desire come in a bar form with a browny core, again, super delicious. The frappe however was average. Make sure to take a couple of pictures at this place for your Instagram, the place is beautiful.

Mom Found A Condom

Never in her life had she thought that she will ever say this. Of course since she had started dating quite early, she was sure that her mom had a hunch that she may be involved in some making out, but sex?! She didn’t think she mother was ready for that revelation. Honestly, even she wasn’t ready to her mother finding out. It was a morning like every other, both of them were in a hurry to get the morning chores done and leave for work. She was curling her lashes, when her mother pulls out the condom and confronts her. Mom: I found this yesterday. Where did this come from? She: I have no idea, this isn’t mine. Mom: How did it come in the house? What are you upto? She: That’s not mine. Why would I even bring that in the house? Mom: You said you won’t bring that into the house. You didn’t say that you don’t use it. She had no idea how to respond to that, she said that it’s not hers one more time and went back to getting ready. She doesn’t even remember if she curled
