    SHAMPOOING
    Always remember you can never use one shampoo forever. It’s always best to keep switching in- between for the best possible effect of the product. If you have dry hair and use a shampoo for that, and it will automatically increases the level of oil on your scalp and it keeps increasing with each wash.

    How is your life today ?

    Recently I had a minor exam- induced breakdown. Given the level of my studying and the proximity of the exam, I had a minor panic attack when a friend questioned me about how my so called preparation was going. I was literally delirious with panic at the idea of actually giving the exam. Noticing my plight he asked me to listen to one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. It left me all calm and relaxed. Thought I'd share it with you guys. Thankyou Kuku ! :D
