Wabi-Sabi

We think stars are to be wished on, night to be tiptoed through, day to be run from. World is just a piece of our imagination.  

The room in our head, the corner we fill with flowers but weeds too. Sometimes they wither and die. Sunlight still finds a way in.  

...we blend it with milk and savor it slowly, forgetting it's the bitter grains that have added character to it.  

Do you light a candle to cast a shadow or create a shadow so someone can light a candle?

Long days. Long days are supposed to be fuel for thought but what are we supposed to blame if the otherwise productive days do not lead to any words that could be penned down. A nagging feeling had been telling me from the past few days to take a break. Taking a break and spending time with oneself may not be as overrated as I thought it to be.

Other hangover-causing chemicals are congeners, which are by-products of the fermentation process (Fermentation, in simple terms, is the chemical conversion of sugars into ethanol.). Sometimes impurities such as zinc or other metals may be added to sweeten or enhance the flavour of liqueurs. Otherwise, it matters what you drink and how much you drink. Drinking excessively is obviously more likely to cause a hangover than drinking moderately. You get a hangover because the ethanol in the drink causes increased urine production, leading to dehydration. Dehydration leaves behind headaches, dryness in the mouth and fatigue. Alcohol also reacts with the stomach lining, which can lead to nausea. Brandy is considered to be the worst for hangovers. As a result,vitamin B and C are lost so it is ...
