devijay78 Yes, you are absolutely correct. The pain does make us wiser. And shows us who our friends are and whom you can rely on. I knew my friends here would support and be there for me without judging.

devijay78 Sorry for the delayed reply. It is made out of henna leaves mostly but the ones which are available now have tea powder and a lot of other things as well in them. But I guess all of them would be natural and should not be harmful. I do not know how they sell...
