VIDEO: WALMART IN USA - Things that I found Interesting


Hello beautiful people out there!

This is a video I made to share with you all my Walmart shopping experience. In this video you can find what interesting things I found in Walmart. Now I am pretty sure that almost everyone will be knowing what a Walmart is. But for those you doesn't know, Walmart is basically a hypermarket cum discount department store, selling products from groceries to electronics, clothing to home decor -basically everything you name in one single roof.

Giving you an abstract of my video. First we are going to the parking area at Walmart. Usually Walmart has a free parking spot. But since this Walmart is located at the heart of the city, we need to take a ticket to park here. For the first two hours parking is free and for any time exceeding this limit, we are bound to pay the parking fees.

As I said earlier, Walmart is a hypermarket and therefore it will be quite boring to show each and every item on the rack. So I decided to show few items that I found interesting. Before we start, I like to mention that this is my first ever vlog. I personally feel that there is lot of room for improvement. I request everyone watching this video to feel free to write in the comment section below how you feel about my video and how I can improve.

So friends, listing down few interesting things I found in Walmart and my review on them

When it comes to biscuits, Oreo's are my favorite. Here I found many flavors that are not available in India. For example they has the limited edition of Oreo Fireworks with popping candy, Oreo pineapple and coconut flavor, Oreo Kettle corn flavor, Oreo Mint Flavor, Oreo Coconut flavor and Oreo big crunchy chocolate bar. Traditional snacks like cheese balls and strawberry flavored Twizzlers were there.

Next was the shoe section. Do not expect fashionable shoes at Walmart. They are not branded and is sold at price as low as 5$. They are more of like everyday use type. I am not sure about the quality of the shoes either. I personally has never bought shoes from Walmart. So I cant say anything about its durability. They sell travel size moisturizers, hand sanitizes, toiletries everything at 97c.  There were also any chocolate for 98c which included famous brands like Reese's, Kit-Kat, M&Ms, sour patch and many more. I was also surprised to find few Indian groceries at Walmart. There were not many items but included everyday grocery products like chilly powder, coriander powder, ghee, Bru Coffee, some brands of rice and so on.

They have free health check up including body weight, blood pressure, diabetics risk test, health age assessment and vision screening. I decided to take vision screening and the result came out that I have a poor far sight vision or it means I have short sight. Looking at my result, I feel its high time I book an appointment with my eye specialist. I was able to send these results to my email id for further references.

There were a few good bag collection at around 25$. Some handbags from 13$. Some great collection of accessories from the company no boundaries. I even found our own bhindi. Here it is called body gems. Every item on this rack - from earrings to anklets to couple of rings - are priced at 4$. I was excited to see such vibrant colors in them.

Next I found some patriotic decorations for Memorial Day and July 4th. When I came to US, I observed that Americans show a lot of pride in their flag. They like to display their flag in many ways from decor to clothing. There were such products that brought out the red, white and blue colors. These are more common during patriotic holidays like memorial day and July 4th. I personally find these cute especially when kids and babies wear these.

There were some jumbo piggy bank for 10$. I have never seen such big coin box in my life. There were other coin bank in the shape of troll cartoon character, puppy, unicorn and elephant. I still remember the time when my sister gifted me a post office coin box. It has helped me develop the habit of savings when I was a kid.

It was almost time for us to leave. I know that i have not covered a lot of department like home decor,toys, electronics,cosmetics, clothing, books, furniture, fitness and many more. Walmart also has the facility of self checkout which I forgot to cover in my video. Self Checkout is really helpful when you are in a hurry and want to avoid the big queue in front of cashier.

Check out my video on my experience at Walmart. Hope that you will enjoy. Feel free to comment about your thoughts and your experience.

Why The Thai Movie "A Crazy Little Thing Called Love aka First Love" Is So Special



 I watched the Thai movie "A crazy Little Thing called Love" also known as "First Love" about 7 years back and ever since I was so much in love with the movie and the characters. Being an Indian, Thai movie was completely new to me - Neither did I know the language nor did I know the actors or anything related to the film. I was in my college and one of my friend suggested me to watch this movie. And guess what? I am happy that I did watch it. 



Coming from an Indian background, we have plenty of romantic comedy movies made every year, whether be it in Bollywood or in regional languages. So the genre of the movie was nothing new to me. But then what is the factor that makes this thai movie so special to me or to anyone who sees the movie.


Comedy - It has the perfect comedy timings. The performance by famous female comedian Tukky Budprom makes us laugh. I literally knew nothing about the language. So to entertain a foreigner or to make them laugh in a language they absolutely have no idea is something which is really difficult to achieve. I did not feel any language barrier while watching the movie. The expression by the actors spoke thousands of words, which were more than enough. Nam (Pimchanok Luevisetpaiboon) and her friends also gives us a good laugh. 



Reminds about your first love - “All of us have someone hidden in the bottom of our hearts. When we think of that person, we feel like…there is a little pain inside but we still want to keep that person. Even though we don’t where that person is today, what that person is doing, but that person is the one who makes us know this… Crazy little thing called love."
Yes, this movie is full of nostalgia. About your first love, about how you effortlessly wished to win his/her heart. By ritually following the rules from a random book or showing out your best talent be it even cooking a mango cake.



Relatable - Like the tag line rightly says, its based on everybody's true story. Everyone has had a first crush, felt the pain of unrequited love, joy of uniting with your friends after a small fight, how we did crazy things just to impress our crush. Everything in the movie brings flashbacks in our mind and it is so relatable at every single shot.



The Confession Scene - This scene literally broke my heart. The scene is well crafted where Nam
Says “P’ Shone ka, I have something to tell you. I like you so much, been loving you for three years. I’ve done everything. Changed myself in every aspect because of you. Nam applied for a classical dancing club, played a stage drama, be a drum major, be better at studying. It’s for you. But I know for now that the thing that I should do the most and should have done a long time ago is telling you straight that I Love You. ” – Nam


To be very frank its very difficult to watch a foreign language. You have to concentrate on the visuals as well as the subtitles because otherwise you are not going to understand anything. And if still this scene has made me cry, then I give all the credits to the movie makers.

Scrap book scene - This scene is too cute and irresistible for any girl to watch. Seriously does any guy does this in real life. I doubt. This scene reveals how shone too had feelings for Nam and how he hide all those cute feelings within him for all this time. Its cuteness overloaded!!!





It showed love can overcome your fears - With the support of her three best friends, Nam revolutionizes herself, starting with her looks and activities to get him to notice her. First, she auditions for the lead role in the Drama Club’s Sleeping Beauty in order to be close to P'Shone who joins the arts department. Later, she is asked to be the drum major of the school’s marching band. Similarly Shone , he is often teased by some of his schoolmates because his father didn't score the penalty kick and made their province lose in a national football cup. In the name of love he has overcome the fear of giving a penalty kick at the school sports final. I liked the way Nam says that P'Shone has made her use the love in good way and how her love was actually the power that supported to be better and better.



Even after seven years if i still remember the essence of this movie and if I am still loving it, that means it has actually found a place in my heart forever.



Comment below what you thought about the movie and how much you loved the movie.

Hrithik Roshan or Mahesh Babu for the role of Shri Krishna in Mahabharata


After the official announcement by the Malayalam Superstar Mohanlal about the confirmed news regarding his new movie in which he will be playing the character of  Bheema of Mahabaratha, it is now declared by the director of this much awaited movie that he wants to cast either Hrithik Roshan or Mahesh Babu for the Shri Krishna role.



The movie which will be the second largest expensive film in Asia and the first ever in India with a 1000 crore ($150 million) is set to release in 2020 in two parts. It is set to release in English, Malayalam, Tamil, Telegu, Hindi and other different languages.


It is also known that it will not be the usual Mahabaratha story as it is based on the malayalam novel "Randamoozham" by M.T. Vasudevan Nair - which tells the story from the Bheema's point of view. It is to be directed by the ad director ShriKumar Menon and produced by an UAE based business tycoon.



And since the main role of Bheema is to be played by the most talented and complete actor Mohanlal, it still keeps us guessing on who will be casted as Shri Krishna in this mega big budget movie ever made in Indian Cinema.

Let us know in the comments whom you like to see as Shri Krishna in this epic movie. Is it Hrithik Roshan or Mahesh Babu????

Easter Decorations DIY


Easter is the festival of Hope. It is the day we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. It indicates new life to the world with new hope and peace.

In this post, I will be sharing two easy Easter decorations that can be done by anyone at a very low cost.

1. Easter Eggs Decoration


Easter Egg shows us the sign of new life. It was believed that in the old century people were not supposed to have eggs during the Lenten season and therefore they used to decorate and paint it to indicate the end of fasting season. For a Christian point of view, it resembles Jesus resurrection from the Tomb

2. Easter Basket


Nowadays no Easter can be complete without an Easter Basket, a Easter Bunny and lots of Easter Eggs. In this video, I'll show you how to make a simple Easter Basket with cardboard

How to remove facial hair/Upper lip facial hair naturally


Are you tired of bearing the pain from waxing & threading or continuously using the chemical bleaches & other hair removal techniques even though you know they are harmful to your skin? Well, you can stop those practices, because of this all natural 4 ingredient face pack that will help to retard the facial hair growth within a few months.

Facial hair has been a huge problem for majority of women as they feel less confident in front of others. There are many techniques through which you can remove your facial hair. However these methods will either be harmful to your skin, painful, short term and even costly. That is why most women prefer natural remedies for facial hair removal.

Even I had facial hair.  I used to bleach my face to lighten them, but later completely stopped knowing the adverse effect it can cause to my skin. I used to go for threading and waxing but I understood it was not a long term solution as they came back after 3-4 weeks with more thicker hair. So I decided to go the natural way. And Like all women even I googled different ways to remove the facial hair.

There were plenty of options on my screen and believe it or not, I tried every option. Yes you heard it right. I tried the famous grandmas face pack of Chickpea & turmeric, lemon and honey mix, the raw papaya mix with oats, Tomato mix, Egg-Sugar-cornflour mix, Lentil-Potato pack and what not.

To me the very old Indian face pack for facial hair seemed a better option and I continued applying it. Because why not, Turmeric and Chickpea (Besan) is the oldest natural ingredient known for its hair removal properties and is considered good for the skin. Make sure to use the wild turmeric or the Kasturi Manjal which is easily available in stores & not the one we apply in curries. But after a month or so I started to realise that my upper lip area is actually getting darker and darker & since I have a very fair complexion it only made the facial hair more visible. Also after applying it my skin got so dried up that I needed another pack for moisturizing effect.

So I again continued with my research and thought of adding some more ingredients to it. Yes I included lemon juice to my pack. The reason is, lemon has a natural bleaching property. With that whatever darkening the besan -turmeric pack was effecting me could be easily eradicated with lemon. Now chickpea is also a bleaching agent & with lemon juice added it can easily bleach my thick facial hair.

Now since one problem was solved, I had the "dry skin" problem to be solved. Oh Honey, you are indeed a savior to me. Adding honey to this pack will moisturise your skin & also honey is known for its natural waxing effect, remember?

So with the new pack of chickpea(2 tablespoon), turmeric(1/2 teaspoon), lemon/lime juice and honey been mixed and applied thrice a week (since I had thick facial hair - if you have thin facial hair once a week is enough) I could literally see the difference within one month.

It actually bleached my facial hair which made it invisible to human eyes within a month. And within 3-4 months I could see lesser hair growth on my face. This face pack is a true savior for all those who are embaressed with their facial hair.

Try it out today itself & I guarantee you 100% positive results. Leave a comment on how successful it was for you.

CAUTION!!!!!! - Always do a patch test of the pack as it can cause allergic reaction to some. Lemon/Lime & Turmeric can be allergic to some people.

Malayalam Movies that even a Non Malayalee would enjoy!


Malayalam movies are known for its realistic approach. Unlike other Indian movies, malayalam movies have less masala in its movies. There is a great heritage of good stories, direction, cinematography, music and acting which has inspired the rest of the film makers in the country. Malayalees love Hindi, Tamil and Telegu movies and has a huge fan following for the actors from these industries.

Its also the first malayalam movie to reach the 150 crore club.

But the movie is much more than that.. Its rather a tribute to life. This movie directed by Martin Prakkat and acted by Dulquer Salman,Parvathy and Aparna Gopinath is sure to leave you with goosebumps till the end!


3. Drishyam- This drama- thriller starring Mohanlal and Meena has created storm in theaters during its release. Even though it has been remade to other languages like Hindi, Telegu, Tamil and Kannada, the original still remains classic. The acting by Mohan Lal cannot be replaced by another other actors in the country (Sorry, no offense!). Watch it once and you will never regret.


4. Bangalore Days - This movie is indeed a treat to watch. The young superstars of Malayalam movies in one single film! The movie evolves around the stories of three cousins - played by Nivin Pauly, Dulquer Salman and Nazariya and how their life changes after they meet Isha Talwar, Parvathy, and Fahad Fasil respectively in Bangalore. The beautiful Nithya Menon appears in a cameo role.


5. Premam - This movie needs no introduction. Its the first malayalam movie to run more successfully outside kerala. Its a musical romance movie about how George played by Nivin Pauly finds love. The beauty of the movie is that everything seems natural. The dialogues, the friendship, the love everything seems so real in this reel world.
