Hi there👋
This is my online diary, previously titled as "Let's Share". Here you'll find some rant, some political talk, some current affairs and some slice-of-life stuff.
New chapter on every Sunday
Before I begin with this week's rant, Trigger Warning: I'll be talking about sexual assault, politics, train accident, mob violence, death and mental health.
If you're sensitive to these topics, you can skip this chapter. I won't mind that. Once again, thank you for stopping by.
Week: 28th May to 3rd June 2023
Honestly, I don't track the daily weather. But so far, we were blessed with the scorching Sun for the entire week.(God, it burns) You know, what's more annoying? When you constantly get weather report recommendations from Google saying, "In next 24 hours, 5 districts of West Bengal will face massive storm and heavy rain". And I'm like, "কোথায়? আমার নজরে তো পড়ে না! (Where? I can't see it!)"
This week my dad bought some জাম(Syzygium cumini or Black plum or Jamun). I once tried it when I was a kid. I don't remember its taste. But I do remember, I didn't like it. Now as an adult, I thought, "Let's try it again." So I insisted my dad to buy Jamun. And I tried it & didn't like the taste this time either😅 It leaves a washed-out taste within my mouth. Its neither sweet nor sour, but a mixture of both.

We were thinking about renovating our house. So, we started looking for a House painter (রঙ মিস্ত্রি) at an affordable rate. We haven't finalised anything. I'll give you the updates from time to time.
And my last light-hearted rant will be about sheet mask. Remember, in one of the previous chapters, I mentioned about going to a mall? Guess what, I bought a sheet mask🎭. Well, I bought many things, including the sheet mask. I was thinking of expanding my horizon in my skincare routine. There were few things I was skeptical from the get-go. Firstly, it says, each sheet mask contains 15ml of serum in it. I have to put it on my face for 15 minutes and let the serum soak into the skin. Secondly, its for one-time use.
My understanding is that 15ml of serum is a lot for the skin to soak in, let alone in 15 minutes. For first day of using it, I felt a burning sensation just after 2 minutes of applying it. I used "just-right" amount of toner for my skin(yes, toner also causes burning sensation). I just couldn't tolerate it. So I kept it for 3 more minutes for first day. The second day I put thesheet mask onto my face for 5-7 minutes. I applied slightly more toner than usual. Boy, the burning sensation was horrible! The third day, I applied the mask right after a minute of cleaning my face and kept it for 10-12 minutes. On the forth day, I applied the mask just like the third day and kept it for 25 minutes. So, in conclusion, for my skin type, my lifestyle & humid environment, sheet mask can take way longer than 15 minutes to soak in. Also, I'm pissed for the skin irritation it caused. I'm thinking of getting a bottle of serum instead of the mask, 'cause I think the former is more economical than the latter in the long run.
So, that's it for this week. Do let me know if you like what you're reading.
