Guinea Pigs: Little Bundles Of Joy

The fact that I’ve had 5 of these (2 right now), I’m surprised this blog post has taken so long to come out! My first ever guinea pig was Cheeku, a birthday present my brother got me all the way from Pune. Of the 5 I’ve had, so far, he was the smartest, most sensible of them all! Not only did he like to get petted, but he also loved to play and was not afraid to cuddle. He was ridiculously pampered and was around for about 2 years. Cheeku was replaced by Oreo and Ginger, bought from a local breeder here in Delhi itself. While Ginger’s journey with me was short-lived (he passed away in less than 3 months  ) Oreo played the role of a thankless pet for almost 3 years. Oreo was everything Cheeku was not; shy, skittish, greedy, and afraid to be petted, but he was still an integral part of my life. Oreo certainly knew how to pose for the camera! My latest piggies are Cookie and Honey, a gift from two very dear friends. I fear both of them are a little mental.  When I got them, Cookie was shy and shrieked every time I picked him up, and Honey was more than happy to let me stroke his head and snout. Now that they’ve both gotten comfortable with me; Cookie loves getting petted and scratched, while Honey will do anything and everything to stay out of my grasp! Weirdos these two are!

Dark Chocolate: A Loyalist’s Favourite Brands

 

I’ve been in love with chocolate, ever since I was allowed to have it! And I don’t really care what color it is (definitely not a racist!) White Chocolate, Milk Chocolate, or Dark Chocolate, I’m forever ready for any and all. When I was a kid, milk chocolate was the most common, Cadburys Dairy Milk; then came white chocolate as Nestle’s Milky Bar; it was however way into my late teens, that I discovered dark chocolate. And it is dark chocolate that I want to write about today. I promise to keep the health mumbo-jumbo about dark chocolate to the minimum and focus on my favorites primarily. If by the end of this post, you’re left with a strong craving for some dark chocolate, do let me know in the comments section below 

My Favourite Dog Breeds

I LOVE DOGS. There, I said it, in all caps. Now before I share with you a list of my favorite dog breeds, here’s a little something about my own dog, Nuts (may he rest in peace). A pure-bred Lhasa Apso, he was named so, firstly coz imagination was low during those formative years,  and because in less than 24 hours in our home, it was crystal clear, that we were nuts about him and he was nuts about us.

How To Be YOU, The Access Consciousness Way

 

Life is all about choices. The choices we make, define the path we take. While growing up, each of us is told and taught what is right, what is wrong, what is good, what is bad, how we should adjust to fit in, and how we must do what is expected of us. While it shapes you up to be who you are, do you realize how restrictive that is!? These restrictions, limit you to being truly YOU!

Pimples (Acne): Myth vs. Fact

Pimples, also known as acne, are a common skin condition that affects millions of people worldwide. They occur when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to the formation of small, red, and sometimes painful bumps on the skin. While pimples are most commonly associated with adolescence, they can affect people of all ages and can be a source of embarrassment and discomfort. Understanding the causes, prevention, and treatment of pimples is essential for maintaining healthy skin and preventing long-term scarring or skin damage.
