agatha christie books - crooked house, dead man's folly, lord edgware dies, ordeal by innocence, poirot investigates, sleeping murder, the man in the brown suit, while the light lasts, the secret of chimneys, murder is easy, death on the nile, dumb witness, miss marple omnibus — My Agatha Christie Collection

After finishing two books in the very first week of the year, my entire month was spent in considerable reading pleasure. Most of them were Agatha Christie books.

I had binged shopped around 25-30 books at Crossword earlier in January so I was chewing up on those very books. I got a few for my Agatha Christie book collection though the best of the books were missing in the book store.

Anyways, let us checkout what all I enjoyed this month.

Crooked House (Read it here)

‘Goodbye, dear,’ she said. ‘Don’t worry too much. Certain things have to be faced and endured.

This is the best of Agatha Chrstie books. Not withstanding her own masterpiece The Murder of Roger Ackroyd. Beautiful characters and amazing plot. Subtle and simple.

Yogurt and Egg to grow long hair

Updated On 3rd February, 2016.

Egg is one of the best conditioners for our hair. And, massaging hair with egg is one of the best things one can do to grow hair. Egg has lot of protein content which is very useful for the health of our hair.

Start massaging egg into your hair for 45 minutes. And, you would see results in as less as a month. But, 45 minutes might be too much so make it 15!

And, yes, the smell. Try adding essential oil, may be! Rosemary, peppermint, thyme are all great hair growth promoters.

~~But, many people are averse to the smell of egg and the mess created by using egg. There is an alternative. But, it is no less messy. But, it gives you freedom from the egg odor.~~

Fitness Diaries : How to Start?

Swathy · February 3, 2016 · Leave a Comment

Whew! Turning 30 is not really exciting at the level of your body and if you are unfit, this is probably going to be really hard. When your body feels tired and lazy all the time, it is time for you to wake up and realize lying around is not going to help you. And, the first step towards a healthy life is to self-motivate.

How do you really convince yourself to be fit and follow a healthy regimen including daily exercise and a balanced diet? Note that I say balanced and not strict diet. And, daily exercise can be anything from simple breathing exercises to high intensity workouts. But, anything would start with a first simple step.

For me, the biggest problem is self-motivation. I think most of the populace suffers from the same. So, let me put down a few things which I have been following for the last month. Starting off!

Do NOT Stock Your House with Junk

Like butter, chips, cheese, biscuits and all other junk foods which you are most likely to pick up when you are feeling hungry. I have stopped buying tea and coffee as well. Remember, I am off the caffeine right now?
