Riya leaned back in her chair at a café off Paud Road, her wedding planner notebook open but forgotten beside a half-finished latte. “I swear, Meenal, these dark circles are worse than my guest list stress,” she said, laughing.

Meenal grinned. “Blame the late-night Pinterest scrolling. Have you looked at any clinics for it?”

Riya nodded. “Yeah, I came across the under-eye dark circle treatment in Pune at Reborn Clinic near Karve Road. They didn’t overpromise, which I liked. Just explained that it could be due to lack of sleep or pigmentation. Made sense.”

“So, how many sessions do people usually go for?” Meenal asked, stirring her cold brew.

“I read that it depends – usually a few sessions spaced out before the wedding. Nothing extreme, just subtle improvements. I want to look fresh, not filtered.”

The two laughed as they watched the evening rush outside near Karishma Chowk. “Honestly,” Riya continued, “between work, fittings, and family dinners, this is the one thing I want to do for myself.”

Meenal smiled. “You deserve that glow, girl.”

Riya smiled back, closing her planner. “I’ll probably visit Reborn Clinic next week. People nearby say it’s one of those calm, reliable places – exactly what I need before the chaos begins.
