]]>The post Become virgin again at Rs. 2000 appeared first on FWD Life | The Premium Lifestyle Magazine |.
]]>Soon after waking from sleep Deepak thoroughly examined the bedsheets.
“Oh, I’m lucky! Even if we were in a relationship for these long three years, it isn’t wrong to check whether she was a virgin or not. After all her virginity is my right.”
Many of us may argue that all these things won’t happen in these days. But that’s not the truth. In this 21st era, where we have the pride and prejudice, that we have become so much developed and that we have conquered the universe, there are some notions that haven’t changed yet. One among that is virginity. Virginity is a term limited to women. A lion portion of people still believes in the concept of virginity. About 95% of men still want to marry a virgin bride. And if you ask whether its wrong to demand a virgin bride, it’s not.It’s not at all (until you are one). But the question is how can one test the virginity of a woman? There are many methods, which are pseudo-scientific, which many prefer to do. But what is the exact standard of evaluation for these things?
What is Virginity?
Virginity in women is often referred to the presence of hymen, a thin and delicate membrane, partially covering the cervix. The hymen is believed to be ruptured usually during sexual intercourse.
But in certain circumstances like heavy cycling, horse riding or participating in a game which needs much physical strength, or during the insertion of a tampon, the hymen could break. Some women are even born without a hymen. There are many surgical methods to restore hymen. Now comes the less heard thing!
You can actually buy an artificial hymen!
If you are willing to spend Rs. 2000, you will get the whole Artificial Virginity Kit at home. It is available online at some websites. The way to use it is detailed on the cover. A pack consists of 2 artificial hymens. One for trial and the other for that special purpose.
How to use and how it works?
The product can be inserted in the vaginal tract 10 minutes prior to intercourse without anybody’s help, so that vagina will start to bleed during penetration. Artificial hymen is a synthetic material which is non-toxic and no-allergic and has no side effects. And if said according to the advertisement of the product, ” The only thing you need to do is to moan at the right time”. And you will bleed write amount, not less nor more but the right amount.
The question which actually strikes is, why did a product like this emerge? Was it because no one cares about virginity?

]]>Words by Divya Prasad
On a warm February morning, the cold winds coming from the far away mountains seemed to be asleep. Cymbals clank, trumpets sing, and drums play melodies of yore. Masked faces stand out amongst the blue skies and vast mountains. Prayers hummed in circles and a mist of incense smoke invade my senses on the narrow streets of Leh. Streets were filled with joy as the monks dance around and a sacred effigy makes its way through the lively by-lanes.
It is the time when the snowy peaks warm up, bursting in the colours of Spring. Little bazaars spring up in the lanes, selling happiness in packages to all. People from villages far away set out on a journey to honour and celebrate the Spring gods and goddesses. And Dosmoche marches forth, dancing in full glory.
Welcoming Spring
The Dosmoche festival marks the end of winter and is a ritualistic celebration to welcome the spring. Symbolically, these Bön Buddhist animalistic tantric rituals are performed to ward off evil spirits and bring purity of thoughts as the Spring season sets in. It is a time to gather; and consciously cleanse and purify life. Metaphorically, it signifies releasing the evils of winter by appeasing the deities.
The Lamas wear masks, each representing an animal and deity spirit. They perform the Cham dance, swaying to the rhythm of drums, trumpets, and cymbals. Their inner power rises to the sacred beats and the holy smoke of Juniper leaves. In circles, they dance away into a state of trance. The ‘Cham’ represents the triumph of good over evil.
The legend of Cham dance
The sacred Cham dance was conceived by Guru Padmasambhava when Samye Monsatery was built in Northern Tibet. In ancient times, the Cham dance was a secretive tantric dance, the knowledge of which was passed on to a few chosen Lamas. Some Cham dances are also passed on by master lamas through mystical dreams and visions. A Cham is performed after five days of deep meditation, rituals, and chanting. The Cham also incorporates the nine ‘rasas’ of dancing. The Janak attires worn while performing the Cham represent deities, demons, and animals. The Cham dance is beyond the physical realm; it is metaphysical since it requires the monks to be in a transcendental state by forgetting the self. To understand the deities and be them as a means to enlightenment in the rituals is the essence of Cham. Being the deity and exorcising the evil forces; and show them the path to light is the sole purpose of Cham. While performing the ‘Cham’, the dancers identify with a particular deity, invoke them and conceiving the very universe as a Mandala with the deity. It involves rigorous chanting, gestures of hand and feet, yet being in a blissful state of meditation.
Legend has it that Guru Padmasambhava performed the first Cham in 770 AD to ward off evil spirits lurking around while building the Samye monastery. King Trishong Detsen called upon Guru Padmasambhava and invited him to Tibet to resolve this issue. The King and the artisans observed that every night, the evil spirits destroyed all that was created in the monastery that was under construction. This was disturbing the sanctum of the monastery. Guru Padmasambhava invoked his Tantric powers and performed rituals inside the monastery to spiritually cleanse the sacred space. In one of the rituals, Guru Padmasambhava buried five threads under the ground where the monastery stood, donning masks and a Janak attire; invoking the Chamara deity. He thumped and swayed in a trance, performing powerful Tantric mudras and postures to banish the evil spirits. Guru Padmasambhava drew Thiks – a sacred line in all directions to ward off the evil spirits. The Thiks kept the evil spirits from entering the monastery’s sacred space. It is also believed that Padmasambhava created the Vajrakila Mandala on Mount Hepori – one of the four sacred mountains of Tibet which is located in the east of Samye monastery. By creating this powerful tantric Mandala, Guru Padmasabhava pacified all disharmonious elements and evil spirits. This further appeased the local spirits and helped spread Buddhism. Thus, the Samye monastery was built like a Mandala – a sacred geometric pattern. The monastery complex is a Mandala representing the Buddhist universe while the main temple is built as a Mandala representing Mount Meru at the centre of this universe.
The Vajrakila dance performed by Guru Padmasambhava is also known for pacifying the angry ghost of Mashang Drompakye who harmed humans. Through this Vajra dance, Guru Padmasambhava transformed the soul into light and returned it to Sukhavati – the land of bliss. Since then, the Cham was passed on to King Trisong Detsen, his wife, and the generations ahead. The knowledge of ‘Cham’ is unwritten and can only be passed on spiritually. Today, the ‘Cham’ lives in the hearts and souls of a few older monks.
I immersed myself in the trance of the mystical dance, soaking in the stories narrated by a Lama who proposed to be my storyteller for the hour. The dancers chopped the air with their swords; stomping the dusty earth and invoking deities in their transcendental states through movements and gestures. The storyteller lama explained that the sword symbolises wisdom and the evil is the ignorance within us and that the path to enlightenment is the purpose of Cham.
The ceremonies were performed, as the masked lamas danced around the pyre. The Champson lead the sacred effigy created of wool, threads, butter, and barley to a gathering ground for a ritual to welcome the magic of Spring. This effigy; made of barley flour and butter represents the evil forces, which is cut with a sword by the Champson who invokes the evil into his own body. The effigy constructed over months by the Lamas with rituals and meditation is burnt to ashes, as the evil confronts death.
To me, the festival of Dosmoche was a lesson on life. A hope that spring is inevitable after a winter. That joy exists in each withering moments of life, if we can find the light in them. I feel grateful to have been a part of this sacred festival in the winters of Ladakh. While the wind carried its blessings through the ‘Lungtas’ fluttering high up in the snowy mountains, and prayers voiced through hearts; these mystical tales of light sprung forth in my heart.

]]>The post Beauty at the Beach appeared first on FWD Life | The Premium Lifestyle Magazine |.
]]>There is a common notion that while travelling to the beach, one must skip makeup because there are so many external factors that can ruin your look. It can get a bit tricky but not if you use the right products. It’s essential that you choose products that are sweat-resistant, have a high SPF, and are waterproof.
The key is not to overdo it. Keep it minimal and let your skin show. Some of the makeup products that will help you achieve this natural beach look are:
A light coverage
Skip the foundation and go for a tinted moisturiser or BB cream instead. This will help you even out the skin tone and give a natural glow. Make sure it contains high SPF to protect your skin from the harmful UV rays.
Laura Mercier
Tinted moisturizer SPF 20
Spot cover up
Use a waterproof concealer to cover any dark areas around your eyes, and to cover any blemishes or spots on your face.
Tarte Cosmetics
Amazonian clay waterproof 12-hour concealer
Adding dimensions
If you want a bronzed look, dust a matte bronzing powder on the hollows of your cheeks and jawline. You can even use a liquid foundation two to three shades darker than your skin tone for a long lasting effect.
NYX
matte bronzer
Pop of colour
Avoid a powder blush and go for a tint instead. It will give your cheeks a subtle flush and last all day. Apply the same on your lips as well for that rosy tint.
theBalm
Stainiac Lip and Cheek Stain
Prep up the peepers
Waterproof mascara is an obvious choice for the beach, and the same goes for eyeliner. You don’t want your eye makeup running down your cheeks as soon as you enter the sea.
Make Up For Ever
Pro Waterproof Eyeliner
Shade for your eyes
Powder eyeshadows are a big no when at the beach. Opt for cream eyeshadows or crayons in neutral colours. Just pat the product with your fingers on the lids for a more natural look.
ARTDECO
Waterproof Eyeshadow Stick
Set it and forget it
Spritz your face after you’ve finished your makeup to set it in place, then use it throughout the day to cool and refresh your skin.
Elf
Makeup Mist and Set
Keep in mind
– Always use a sunblock
– Avoid using powder products
– Keep a blotting paper to dab your face in case you get sweaty or makeup feels clumpy
– Use lightweight products for a dewy finish

After researching a bit on the internet, a rough itinerary was made. My friends suggested that it’s a honeymoon/couple’s paradise, hinting that I shouldn’t go alone. I ignored them, going ahead with my Kochi-Alleppey-Varkala route. I chose the relatively touristy southern side of the state because on my first solo trip, being surrounded by crowds sounded better than wandering alone in a forest. In hindsight, here are some of the reasons I feel thankful for choosing Kerala, or rather, Kerala choosing me.
