Best of 2019

2019 is coming to an end and thankfully so. To be frank, 2019 was an extremely horrible year in my life and I’m glad it’s coming to end! As expected, I didn’t write many posts this year or rather neglected blogging to a great extent.

I’m not too sure if 2020 will be a better year and hence won’t make any resolutions on the blogging front.

But then, in some corner of my mind there is hope that things will workout for me. I can only hope; only time will tell what’s in store for me and my blog!



In spite of all this, I did pen a few posts and as is the custom, I present to you the best posts of the year 2019. Do take a look.

Home remedies for sleeplessness

The day dawns beautifully for those who have had a night of good sleep. But the same day drags on for those who have spent a disturbing, sleepless night. Sleep is a biological necessity even as eating and drinking are. Sufficient sleep renders a person normally sociable, lively and high-spirited. It’s a nature’s way of rejuvenating the person for the next day. Realize all this, and make sleep a physiological habit. The consequences of long time sleep deprivation can be very grave. Lack of sleep takes its toll on the skin and hair. It causes acne-breakouts and makes one look aged and haggard beyond years.

It is usually common among school children but soon spreads to other members of the family. Contrary to popular belief, it is not a sign of poor hygiene, as lice are not fussy whether they lay their eggs in clean or dirty hair. But yes, a dirty scalp can well serve as a perfect breeding ground for these tiresome creatures. Lice get transferred easily from child to child owing to the close contact of heads, during play, while sitting together or by sharing caps.
