I love wearing Indian ethnic wear on special occasions or festivals. A Saree is one of my favourite ethnic attire to wear during Puja or family get-togethers. Again in sarees, I have a soft corner for handloom sarees. The beauty and feel of these handwoven slow crafted sarees are truly mesmerizing. It was Durga Puja time and Diwali is also approaching in few days, hence I thought to buy a beautiful handloom saree to celebrate all these festivals with extra joy. Huts and Looms Tissue Silk Saree In case you are wondering what a handloom saree is, then let me tell you in brief. Handlooms are basically handwoven fabrics made on a weaving machine called a loom. Hence, the name comes from HandLoom. It is a slow-crafted process, as it needs the utmost patience, creativity, and physical strength to create a masterpiece. Handloom sarees are generally priced because of this reason. I feel every woman looks graceful, powerful and amazing in a saree. Handloom sarees are repr...

| How to Stay Positive and Motivated during this Pandemic Situation (COVID-19) |
Each passing days are bringing lots of curiosity and fear inside us . We are so confused to find the answer of the uncertain future . The world is suffering today and we are just helpless . The whole nation is running with an uncertainty. We are under lockdown for 21days which is about to finish in a day or two . Some states have already increased the lockdown period for some more days . The death rate and positive cases rate are increasing with every passing hours . All these will definitely make anyone feel down . But we need to be strong now , we have to be united mentally not physically. We need to remember that , " Together we can win the battle" .
There is also a video of mine on this topic too , please watch HERE 👇🏻.
As we all are under lockdown and can't step out , becoming frustrated is very normal . This is completely new experience for everyone . If you will ask me , to be very honest Initially everything was vomplfine with me but gradually as time increased it felt really suffocated to me . Because it is not easy to stay inside a 2bhk apartment house with two really small kids (one is a baby) and moreover without any help . My husband has to go office daily as usual and I have to manage everything all alone . I am a very socialize person and this was so difficult for me at least . But eventually I started accepting things and added few changes in my lifestyle and daily routine . Trust me guys those changes really made difference.
So here I will share those tiny ,simple changes which helps me to stay positive and motivated during this pandemic situation.
1. Don't stick to news channels or social media
Watching news and staying updated is good but currently I will not advise to check news channels every now and then . The more you will try to get updated about covid19 cases ,the more you will become restless and afraid . Because the numbers are increasing so frequently . In the same way try to stay away from social media as much as possible . Now a days social media is so disturbing to be very honest .
2. Start doing meditation and yoga

Meditation brings peace in mind and a day when starts with meditation and yoga ,definitely will be peaceful day . Because of the outside stress and lockdown , we can feel exhausted sometimes and it's quite natural . Making the mind calm is necessary to bring out the energy inside you . And yoga or pranayam is very necessary these days . Try to include the respiratory system related yogasanas like Kapalbhati and anulombilom ,etc.
3. Watch comedy movies and web series , listen music
I love watching comedy movies ,web series ,etc. You can watch those to make yourself relaxed after all laughing is the best treat for your body . It us said that music is the best therapy to cure any kind of depression. You can listen good music according to your choice and dance too ..
4. Engage yourself to some creativity things / Play with Kids
This is time to explore your inner desire ,hobby ,etc. You can engage yourself doing anything you love to do but was not getting enough time to fulfill . activities like crafting ,gardening , dancing ,cooking, singing , painting ,etc .. Along with that if you have kids at hone , make sure to engage them with you too .
5. Read books

I have developed my love towards book reading these days . Unfortunately I don't have many books right now at home but I manage to read online (ebooks). Trust me I am enjoying reading book like never before . I am going to review few of my books reviews really soon .
This is a really tough find for all of us and the whole world is struggling to get out of this pandemic situation. We should stand together now (not physically but mentally ofcourse) to defeat this situation. Try to ignore or avoid all kind of negative vibes and try to be positive all the time . If we break down now ,it will be really difficult for us to stand straight again.
#StayHome and #StaySafe .
Loads of love and God bless us all.
