Ask any woman and she will certainly vouch for this term! Its so uplifting and has a tremendous feel good factor attached to it .. Parlour Therapy is a more generic term.... anything that a woman gets done in the parlour , excluding waxing and eyebrows is almost always a pleasure ..... For me the ones I enjoy the most are the oil massage and the face massage ...... They transport you in a different world altogether...... Any stress and/or fatigue just dissipates once your deep into this process .... it works beautifully at so many levels ..... U have to experience it to feel it and believe it......
God bless the parlours and the people who work there ..... they are nothing less than angels... they do everything to make you feel awesome when u leave that place irrespective of how u felt when u entered ...... They work hard day in and day out so that women who go there feel happy, relieved , rejuvenated and refreshed once they have finished with their respective jobs .....
Me thinks it will be a fun and insightful experiment if someone would just wait there outside the parlour, any parlour, only if even for a day and see the face of the women when they enter and when they leave, whatever they may have done in there.. You will always notice a world of a difference...... There is a certain buoyance in their step and confidence in their attitude when they leave the parlour ....... A makeover in the true sense ...... and its not only physical .. For some inexplicable reason it permeates much much deeper! It almost uplifts the soul!
And ofcourse last but not the least is a HAIRCUT...... Its wonderful..... A new and different you ..... Always helps .... Tried and tested way to feel amazing and elevated when you have hit a low or just want a change in the way they are feeling....A guaranteed "mood elevator". Very few would disagree with that if at all ... Maybe the few odd ones who got something else for what they expected .......
The particular parlour that I go to deserves a special mention for various reasons and I would like to dedicate a whole post to it cos just a teeny weeny mention here would do injustice to my joyful experiences there....
Till then ......Parlour Therapy rocks :)

Summertime!
March to May are the most dreaded months every year ..... I absolutely abhor the heat ....To me ,it indicates the worst time of the year..... and since the past few years this period almost extends to the third week of june so it gets even more gruelling!
This year I wanted to do something else instead of cursing it almost everyday......so I decided to look for something nice in this season.... every season comes with something that it has to offer so for a change I wanted to look at the half which was full rather than the empty half......
And its amazing how when you set out to look for something pleasant you are never disappointed and almost always find it !
The first aspect that I noticed were the beautiful bougainville flowers , that too in full bloom ... In Mumbai we mostly have the pink variety and at some places you can also see the white ....... They can spotted from a distance due to the striking and bright PINK! And when you get to take a closer look its even more appealing and so soothing to your eyes .......
Then you also get to see some Gulmohar but thats a bit rare .... Then there are some mauve flowers( i dunno what they are called), which over the years have become a common sight in the summers ..... They are beautiful ...... And again like the BV they grow in bunches ....... There are 2-3 trees which are adorned by these in my lane itself .....
So in short there is a whole lot of different and lovely flora that you get to see all over, only in this season..........
Another beautiful aspect of the summer is 'evening time'... I have witnessed some of the most pretty sunsets in this season .. Sunsets are always beautiful but they are more so in this season...... The "dusk" that I usually witness at Joggers Park is like a collage to put it in the least ..... The sky looks like one huge canvas on which God has sprinkled some of his favourite colours lavishly! Just as the sun is on its way down , the sun's rays illuminate the cloud laden sky in such a way that the saying "every cloud has a silver lining" actually becomes a reality and suddenly comes to life! Its something that you have to see with your own eyes to believe! Its such a lovely experience to witness the sun turn from a huge yellow ball of fire to a subdued orange just prior to its setting! Seems almost like it has emitted all it could and is tired, dims itself and is off to la la land......
Nature has some very unique aspects that it chooses to offer us every season ... and its so amazing that what you get to see in one season rarely repeats itself in another.......
One more month to go and I am going to look out for more summer gems :)
