Abstract Admissions: The Expat Life: Bab Al Shams Desert Resort & Spa
http://abstractadmissions.blogspot.com/2013/06/the-expat-life-bab-al-shams-desert.html
Friday, June 28, 2013. The Expat Life: Bab Al Shams Desert Resort and Spa. I just got back from a lovely trip to the Bab Al Shams Desert Resort and Spa. We retreated to the cool confines of our room. Our room was spacious and was well equipped with all basic amenities. We were greeted with fresh fruit, chilled water and a box of gourmet dates to munch on. My favourite part was the bathroom – which gave off an earthy aroma when wet due to the earthenware accessories and fittings! We ordered Caesar salad, ...

Abstract Admissions: August 2015
http://abstractadmissions.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 23, 2015. Dream Away, Little One! One thing from my childhood that my little one could do… Hmm. As I sit here pondering over what this “one thing” might be, I soon come to the honest conclusion that I didn’t do all that much as a child. I had a pretty normal, run of the mill kind of childhood and thanks to working parents I also had large chunks of time all to myself. To do what? I lent wings to my imagination and let it soar high with no restrictions whatsoever. At once, they are accused ...

Abstract Admissions: 5 Tips For Cuddelicious Baby Skin!
http://abstractadmissions.blogspot.com/2015/11/5-tips-for-cuddelicious-baby-skin.html
Monday, November 2, 2015. 5 Tips For Cuddelicious Baby Skin! Soft, cuddly and cherubic – these are but a small sample of adjectives that can be used to describe little babies. Holding a sweet smelling bundle of joy cosily to your chest is indeed one of the simplest pleasures of life. It is so sad to see even educated and intelligent women worry about something as silly and as inconsequential as a baby’s skin colour. Come on! The baby’s skin colour depends on its genes and it is not going to magical...

Abstract Admissions: A Scarf Story
http://abstractadmissions.blogspot.com/2016/02/a-scarf-story.html
Friday, February 26, 2016. I did possess a fair selection of scarves in various colours, materials and sizes, but somehow I hadn’t yet got my hands on a proper square scarf. I wanted a neutral scarf which could be paired with a handful of outfits at the very least and hence started my hunt at Jabong. It is really easy to get overwhelmed by the load of options that will fill up your computer screen despite all the filters that you might apply! The birthday girl is ready to party! Of course, this scarf can...

Abstract Admissions: January 2016
http://abstractadmissions.blogspot.com/2016_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 29, 2016. I’m someone who isn’t an expert in makeup. Although I have an interest as well as access to a wide variety of cosmetics, I use only the most basic stuff, mostly because I don’t really know how to use many of the products that are available in the market today. Honestly, I’m impressed with those people who can pull off a perfect and flawless look in what seems like minutes! I was travelling in a few days and I was worried if the eyeliner would reach me in time but thankfully it w...

Abstract Admissions: Diwali - My Way!
http://abstractadmissions.blogspot.com/2015/11/diwali-my-way.html
Sunday, November 15, 2015. Diwali - My Way! People say that one should never forget our roots…. Where we came from and from where our story began. In today’s globalised world, traditions remain one way to stay in touch with our roots. India is a country which is deeply steeped in traditions owing to its diversity and vast cultural heritage. Frankly, I think that Diwali is more of a national festival than a religious one! Apart from food, the next obvious aspect of any festival is of course dressing up!

Abstract Admissions: Copycats & Smelly Rats
http://abstractadmissions.blogspot.com/2012/02/copycats-smelly-rats.html
Sunday, February 19, 2012. Copycats and Smelly Rats. It all started with an innocent tweet. I ran my eyes over it again - and again - but no matter how many times I read it, I still couldn't believe it. What couldn't I believe you ask? The words. They were mine. Was I imagining things? I was so shocked that I immediately replied to Ameera's tweet saying that the review has been copied and she responded saying. I thought u two were the same person that's how similar they were! What do I find? I did not wa...
