A Conversation with the Dilli Wali Kochu Amma- Vaishaki Radhakrishnan

Published

on

Amidst the pandemic huddles and ongoing rush in the digital media platforms, a Delhi based Malayali content creator, found her way to bring out laughter in people. The creator of ‘Kochu Amma’ series Vaishaki Radhakrishnan, and her relatable contents with her satirical and amazing acting skills, gives out a fit of laughter and positive vibes to her followers.

‘‘I am a jovial person and I love making people laugh. I never write a script or pre-plan dialogues for any of my videos. When I become the character, I just go with the flow. The dialogues come in automatically’’ – She says talking about her content creation. She has currently reached her first milestone with over 50k subscribers on her Instagram page.

Vaishaki, who is also the ‘Face of Kerala 2018’ winner says that acting was her passion since childhood. And this beauty pageant was her baby steps towards her dream.  After she won the pageant, she moved to Kochi in the year of 2019 to pursue her dream of acting. But her family’s circumstances were not favorable, hence she had to come back to her hometown. Being a single daughter, Vaishaki has gone through many hardships in life. At a very young age she became the backbone of her family, and simultaneously worked hard to achieve her dreams. But the super woman in her was not ready to give up no matter how many times life gave her hardships. When life gave her lemons, she made sure to make a delicious lemonade out of it. Overcoming all the hurdles thrown at her, she faced each challenge with a smile and her skills which entertained her audience all the while.

From someone who was frightened to get on stage, during her schooldays to now becoming a content creator and influencer on Instagram, Vaishaki has come a long way. ‘‘Instagram is a free platform. You can post anything on it, with a click of a button, but one should always be ready to face the after effects. It can be great encouraging comments, or trolls and jokes about you. We should just rectify the mistakes, if there’s any, and keep on doing what we love’’- She says.

‘‘My father is my biggest inspiration. From a very young age, I used to watch advertisements and then enact it out to my parents. When we used to go to our relative’s house, I used to mimic them and make everyone laugh. My dad saw this talent and he has supported me all the way till date’’- She says smilingly.

Kochu’s Amma being the star of her series, all of her contents are inspired from daily life conversations with her mom, says Vaishaki when asked about her inspiration behind the videos. ‘‘I always listen to my mom’s phone conversation. It’s so funny. I get so many ideas from it. That’s how the ‘Kochu Amma’ series happened. Also, the conversations with my friends are great inspiration for my videos. When you sit with your friends and talk, a lot of funny discussions will be happening. You just have to be attentive and you’ll get a sea of ideas’’- She said laughing. And yes, making relatable content for the audience is her huge success.

On a serious note, she adds that there are a lot of toxic thoughts in parents about many things. It’s because of the way they were conditioned from a very young age. ‘‘I just wish to change all those toxic perspectives through my funny contents’’. Sarcasm and satire being her main essence of humour, she uses it efficiently to make her content more relatable and thought evoking for her audience to share, entertain and enjoy.

Vaishaki also makes contents on current issues faced by women in the society in hope to bring awareness to the public.

What she has got to say to all budding content creators is to ‘‘Be observant. You can get ideas from everywhere around you. Bring out those ideas in your own unique way to the audience. You should always be consistent and work on your ideas. Never break the engagement rate on your page. So, keep on posting your works. Work hard and never give ears to trolls or hate that you may get from the social media platforms. If you love what you do, nothing can stop you from excelling in your life’’- she ends in an inspiring note.

Creating a Cozy Living Room: Tips for Comfort and Style

Published

on

Your living room is more than just a space for entertaining; it’s a sanctuary where you unwind, relax, and spend quality time with loved ones. Creating a cozy living room involves a blend of comfort and style that makes the space inviting and functional. Here are some tips to help you achieve that perfect balance:

Choose the Right Furniture

Start with furniture that combines comfort and functionality. Opt for a plush sofa with deep cushions, perfect for lounging. Consider adding a cozy armchair or a recliner for additional seating. Make sure the furniture arrangement promotes conversation and allows for easy movement throughout the room.

Layer Your Lighting

Lighting plays a crucial role in setting the mood. Use a mix of lighting sources to create a warm ambiance. Combine overhead lights with floor lamps, table lamps, and wall sconces. For added coziness, incorporate dimmers or smart bulbs that let you adjust the brightness to suit different times of day and activities.

Add Textures with Throws and Pillows

Textures are key to a cozy living room. Layer different fabrics, such as soft throw blankets, plush pillows, and textured rugs. Choose fabrics like wool, velvet, and cotton that add warmth and comfort. Mix and match patterns and colors to create visual interest and a personalized touch.

Incorporate Warm Colors

Color influences the feel of a room. Opt for warm, neutral tones like beige, taupe, or soft gray for a calming effect. Accents in rich colors like deep blues, earthy greens, or warm terracotta can add depth and coziness. Use these colors in your furniture, accessories, and wall decor.

Use Rugs to Define Spaces

Rugs can help define different areas within a living room and add a layer of warmth underfoot. Choose a rug that complements your furniture and adds softness to the space. A large area rug can anchor the room, while smaller rugs can be used to highlight specific areas, like a reading nook or conversation zone.

 Incorporate Natural Elements

Bring the outdoors in by incorporating natural elements. Plants not only add a touch of greenery but also improve air quality and create a calming atmosphere. Choose low-maintenance plants like succulents or snake plants if you’re not an avid gardener. Wooden furniture or decor pieces can also add a natural, grounded feel to the room.

Personalize with Artwork and Décor

Add personality to your living room with artwork and decorative items that reflect your style. Choose pieces that resonate with you, whether it’s family photos, abstract art, or vintage finds. Arrange decor items in groups to create visual interest and avoid clutter.

Create a Focal Point

A focal point helps draw the eye and creates a sense of balance in the room. This could be a fireplace, a statement piece of art, or a stylish coffee table. Arrange your furniture and decor around this focal point to enhance the room’s overall cohesion and appeal.

Invest in Quality Window Treatments

Window treatments can impact both the look and feel of your living room. Opt for curtains or blinds that provide privacy while allowing natural light to filter through. Choose fabrics that complement your decor and add texture, such as linen or velvet.

Add Personal Touches

Finally, make the space truly yours by adding personal touches. Incorporate items that have sentimental value or reflect your interests and hobbies. Whether it’s a collection of travel souvenirs, a beloved quilt, or unique decorative objects, these elements will make your living room feel more inviting and personal.

By thoughtfully combining these elements, you can create a cozy living room that serves as a comfortable retreat and a stylish gathering place for friends and family. Enjoy the process of making your space uniquely yours and revel in the comfort and warmth it provides.

JLO’s Bridgerton Themed Birthday Bash

Published

on

There are two types of diamonds in the Bridgerton universe: the diamond of the season and the queen who selects it. Without a doubt, Jennifer Lopez belongs to the latter group.

JLO brought Bridgerton to life this past weekend in the Hamptons, where she threw an amazing event to celebrate turning 55. The celebration featured a live orchestra and a horse-drawn carriage, among other features more commonly found at social gatherings in the early 1800s. Naturally, Lady Whistletown was not prepared for the glitzy Regency-era attire either. 

In her first ensemble designed by Manish Malhotra, she looked downright royal in a stunning light blue ball gown with a bodice piece that had off-the-shoulder cuffs and gilded diamond-shaped embroidery. The gown was worn over a full skirt that was embroidered with larger-than-life gold floral motifs.

Lopez wore few accessories and let the dress do the talking because of how grand the ensemble was. She chose stud earrings, a basic pendant necklace, and sheer white opera gloves. She had a gold laurel crown in her hair.

Jennifer transformed into something a bit more fluid later in the evening, which made it easier for her to move around the dance floor and interact with other attendees. This second dress was a gauzy moss-green number with a sequined floral bust, and it too had an off-the-shoulder neckline.
