All the time that there is – past, present, future – is already here. We just interpret it linearly for our survival. There are multiple possible universes, and we create the universe we live in. Humans determine the outcome of Feynman’s probabilities and probability amplitude, and the force that we exert determines the outcome of events from the subatomic level up.

Tenth Avatar – The Plot

The above paragraph describes the book the best. We have two stories running in parallel to each other. On one hand, Hanuman is dealing with his existential crisis and waiting for the spiritual guide who will give meaning and direction to his life. And, on the other hand, Krish is trying to find the mathematical definition for existence.

According to Krish, the responsibility to make the world a better place to live exists with every individual. The goal is to make the individual realize the purpose of their life and the power that rests within them to exert the force which would collectively bring the change to do good and only good in the world. Evil can not reside if there is light and this light must be exuded by every single citizen of planet Earth.

Beauty Products I would love to Repurchase

Are you a brand loyalist or you like to try out new products? If you ask me, the moment I get to know about a new brand or hear a rave, I want to try out all of their ranges which tempt me. But, then, over the years, I did come across a few products which I would like to repurchase or have either repurchased. So, here is my list of those products.

1. L’Occitane Almond Shower Oil – This featured in my luxury products list and I absolutely love it! I took almost a year and half to finish the bottle I got and I am in love with it. I want it again and I would definitely love to try out the other shower oils with the brand as well.

2. L’Occitane Shea Body Corps – After falling in love with almond shower oil, I had to try another bestseller from them. I am still half way on the first tub and this is amazing. I am not sure how well it will do for summers but for winters, this is the one I want. A disappointing fact about this product is that it is very medicinal, like betnovate ointment but I like it anyhow.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream

Do you have a good day time moisturizer to recommend for me? I am looking for something without sun protection. Among the plethora I have tried in the last year itself from Kama Eladi Hydrating face cream to Just Herbs Indian Ginseng Elixir to Olay Regenerist Micro-Sculpting cream, I love Kama as a brand but their moisturizer felt too heavy for summer use, liked Just Herbs but not enough and Olay Regenerist is worth a second try. After all that, I got the body shop vitamin E moisture cream on a whim. Be forewarned, this is not a product for you if you do not like silicones on your face.

The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream

Price : approx. Rs 1,095 for 50ml though I am not sure

Not exactly inexpensive for a moisturizer, The Body Shop Vitamin E Moisture Cream is light and fluffy. On application, it spreads smoothly and gets absorbed instantly. It hydrates well and makes skin look plump and soft. The hydration has to be locked in so I would follow it up with a face oil (wrong routine though, oil should go first). The combination would keep me happy for half a day at most but if I skip the oil, skin gets dehydrated very quickly, especially in drier weathers.
