Friendship Day Special (Poem)

 

To all the besties out there....


By PRAMITA BOSE

True friendship is like a deep-rooted tree that stays firm for years


True friendship is like a fixed deposit that promises big returns on investment after a period

True friendship is like your childhood piggy bank that keeps collecting coins of trust and reliability over time

True friendship is like an album of memories that freezes long lost moments of togetherness

True friendship is like a steadfast partner in crime who teaches you to loosen up a bit, spoils you to be frivolous at times, be unapologetic about the way you are and explore the other side of yourself  

True friendship is like a sounding board that tells you...it’s okay to fall, make mistakes, get up and move on to repress the start button

True friendship is like a cloak of happiness, understanding, strength and loyalty that wraps you in the harsh coldness of life

True friendship is like a solid rock that stands behind you through thick and thin 

True friendship cements the bonding like a locker that keeps all your mischiefs and secrets in safe custody

True friendship is that bottle of perfume that never fails to spread the scent of sweet affection, warmth, care and positivity around you

True friendship fills your heart with a sense of gratefulness for that unconditional love, help and guidance

True friendship is about being 3 am BFFs, indulging in idle talks, doing hush hush gossips, exchanging emoji filled private chats, offering a shoulder to cry over, to always have each other's back, to wipe off the tears of distress, be a confidante in the hour of need, lend a hand of assistance or pose as a wall to lean against when the ground beneath the feet appears to slip away 

True friendship is like an earworm that continues to echo the shared chirps, cheers, laughter, mirth and banter till the last breath of your life

    Dry Brushing: The Trending Grooming Routine   BY PRAMITA BOSE Dry brushing is a grooming culture that has a historical legacy. The hygienic routine helps purge the skin of dry, dead cells from its topmost layer by sweeping the body squeaky clean with a tolerably soft bristle brush. Support for Bodily Functions Some advocate abdominal dry brushing to arouse the nerves linked to digestion, thus spurring gut motility. While dry brushing can’t be a permanent solution to eliminate cellulite (fat deposition in thighs, stomach and hips making the skin look lumpy and dimpled), it can smoothen the skin for the moment by redistributing body fluids and bettering blood circulation to lend a firmer, toned exterior. Incidentally, dry brushing helps stimulate the nervous system and lend the skin with that lustrous radiance. “It stimulates the skin’s nerve endings, providing a rejuvenating sensation akin to gentle massages. The increased blood flow to the skin nourishes cel...
