Book Review: The Mummy Bloggers by Holly Wainwright

Title: The Mummy Bloggers
Author: Holly Wainwright
Genre: Fiction, Humor


Coming to the book this is a story of 3 mothers who happen to share their lives daily online ie they are bloggers. Although they are very different from each other and have a niche and an audience of their own. The stylish mumma is a mom of two boys. She is rich and sexy and married to a man way older to her. The green Diva has two kids from her earlier marriage and is now in a lesbian relationship, whose partner too has two kids from before. She hs moved to the countryside and homeschools her kids and deapises everything that is non organic. The working mumma has three kids and slogs hard everyday to balance her job and motherhood. The blog is an outlet for both the working mumma and green diva but it's actually a business venture with lofty goals for the stylish mumma. 

However when an award with a huge financial perk is announced for the best mummy blogger, everyone becomes ambitious and dive into the process of grabbing that title (plus the money) Things get ugly as there appears death threats in the form of cuocakes, cancer scare and what not. 
This book is a hilarious yet practical depiction of what the blogger world is now today (especially the mommy bloggers). It's an excellent read and has been my best in this quarantine.

Effect of COVID 19 on edible oil industry and Palm oil

  The Corona pandemic has caused a havoc on the global economy. Some countries have been more affected than others. I however would like to focus on the effect of the pandemic on the edible oil industry and Malaysian Palm oil especially. Last week I attended a webinar hosted by the  Malaysian Palm Oil Council with Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of India/Sri Lanka as the speaker and what she said about the palm oil industry right now is really food for thought. How has COVID 19 affected the edible oil industry?  The pandemic caused shutting down of restaurants and catering businesses and hence a drastic reduction in the  import of edible oils. People have reduced eating outside to a very large extent and also takeaway orders have declined. This situation was particularly grave during the lockdown period. The production of cooking oil comes under Essential goods services but the production of containers isn't. Labours migrated back to their villages from the cities in huge nu

A day in my life in Bewakoof.com Joggers and T-shirt

Just because I travel so much, most of the people who don't know me feel that my life is easy. But what they don't understand is that in order to arrange money for travelling, I work freaking hard. I can't even take off on Sundays. However I can wear comfortable casuals on weekends thankfully. Recently I came across Bewakoof.com and really liked their wide range of casuals. I chose a cool pair of denim jeans and a cobalt blue T-shirt . The T shirt spoke my mind: Gotta Move On! Usually my Sundays start very early...I know I don't have the privilege to sleep in. I play cricket and am part of the Delhi Medical Association cricket team. Our matches are held every Sunday, at seven in the morning. So this Sunday too I left at six in the morning to play. After my cricket match, I had to take rounds in my hospital. That took around 3 hours and got free at 5 in the evening. But that was not all. I, being the official Orthopedician of the Delhi Dynamos Team in the Ind

Celebs who I love following on TikTok

The world almost stood still the past two months. While everyone stayed at homes and worked from within, my job didn't permit so. Yes I am a frontline worker (a medical professional) who had to go to the hospital during the entire lockdown time. I was double stressed: Catching the infection myself as well as silently passing on to my two little kids or my elderly parents. I have been seeing and hearing people cursing this quarantined life but they don't understand it's a privilege to be able to stay within the safe confines of home and work and earn. The only respite in this period has been TikTok. Yes, I am now a total TikTok convert.  If there's anything that got a boost during this Corona pandemic, it has to be TikTok. This app has seen billions of downloads and users in the past couple of months. And why not? It's like a breath of fresh air. After I come back from the hospital and undergo a rigorous sanitation regime to ward off any kind
