Alarm Tick Off - 4:30 AM. Wake Up Call - 4:45 AM Time To Exhilarate / Warm-Up- 5:00 AM As I step out of my house to breathe in and breathe out the fresh morning air, I only get to inhale and exhale the smoky air. While jogging in the park surrounded by variety of plants and trees, I couldn't smell that natural fragrance that I cherished / embraced daily. Only I could feel was smoke. And, this justifies that Diwali is Here. Or, may be Winter is Here! Diwali - a festival that brings joy and happiness in our lives but as human beings have we ever done justice to this day. Every year with the onset of Autumn, we also welcome the air pollution in our so-called eco-friendly environment. And ever given a thought who the key culprits are? Yes, like always we will blame the crop burning that takes place during fall and bursting of fire crackers during Diwali.  It's High time; let's stop the blame game. WE - the gifted human race - are the real culprits. We only talk abou

India is the second most populated country where people of different religions reside happily. India is full of diversity with hearts full of love for one another and that is the strength of the country. It is a rich country with many languages being spoken, different holy places being worshipped and different festivals being celebrated. As Eid is just around the corner, I thought of enhancing my knowledge about Mosques in India. In my lifetime, I have never visited a mosque, so thought of exploring the mosques in our country.  Did you know mosques in India are known for their marvellous dome shaped architecture? Tourists - from across the world - come to visit these mosques with hearts full of hope and to explore their beauty.  If ever you have a plan to explore India, do not miss visiting the mosques as these only add beauty to your overall travel experiences, and fill your heart with purity and love. Jama Masjid, Delhi – The Jama Masjid is one of the biggest mosques in Ind

All great decisions are not perfect decisions, but they are usually for the best possible efforts, meant for better outcomes considering the circumstances.  For successful decision making, don't act on impulse, intuition or even experience alone, but depend on a system to work through step by step. Define the Issue - A problem well diagnosed is a problem half solved. To understand the problem exactly ask, "who, what, when, why & how." What is the objective? Why is the decision necessary? When does the decision needs to be made? How can the decisions change things for better? Who are the beneficiaries? Whom will it affect? Take A Positive Approach - Make a conscious effort to see the situation as an opportunity, a challenge, rather than a problem. An optimistic approach always help to perform better. List Your Solutions - Write all your probable options. List more and more alternatives on paper. The more alternatives you consider, the more consciously

Long roads adorned with beautiful landscapes and wildly.  Only in Australia, your journey will be as good as the destination. When you drive through Australia, you realize that the journey is as exciting as the destination. With its excellent roads, astonishing scenery, high-quality lodging and charming roadside hotels. But that's not all, cruising through the country is also easy as road rules are similar to India and cars are right hand drives. Moreover, an Indian driving license, in English, is valid in Australia. The Road to Tropical Fun A scenic drive from Cairns to Palm Cove will take you to Australia's spa capital. Indulge in its retreats and visit its tropical zoo. Then, drive on to Port Douglas, for its wildlife sanctuaries. Go-off-roading in the Daintree National Park and enjoy fishing charters in Cooktown. Finally, move to Kuranda and Mareeba to experience the Rain-forestration National Park and the Mareeba Wetlands. Driving through the Wi

When you hear the words finger painting you would most probably immediately think of apron- wearing preschoolers with paint- stained finger tips creating multiple mess-terpieces to be placed under alphabet shaped magnets as parent proud refrigerator art. You probably have childhood memories of sitting at a little table, dipping your fingers into thick brightly coloured paint and nodding your way around a sheet of smooth, shiny paper. These paintings were usually formless squiggles, blobs and lines created from a child's carefree lack of inhibition. This creative art form has been used with both children and adults for artistic expression, therapeutic and developmental purposes and has been around for centuries. Finger painting is painting done with the hands and fingers instead of a brush. The paint is thick and tends to be a bit greasy and works best when applied to a smooth, slick surface, or glossy paper. Children of all ages love to paint. Finger Painting allows even

Here is an urge for all the motivated people to motivate your next colleague, your next neighbour and your next friend to accept challenge with gut for it alone can bring a change - a change towards refinement of our intellect and the fulfillment of our goal.  A challenge is a difficulty that carries within it a scope for progress. It gives us an opportunity. Once a challenge is overcome, we go upto a higher level than before. Life offers opportunities to accelerate and excel in life by welcoming challenges for a change. Great works of art, wonderful inventions of science and adventurous discoveries in geography have taken place simple because of the courage to accept the challenge. Challenge knocks at the door, "Embrace me , I will change your life." Challenge has immense potential to do something great and grand. The pages of history are replete with reverberations of the potential of challenge. But how we remember and what we remember, what we learn and h

Most of us often spend a good portion of their day sitting upright. Whether they are inside an office space or at school we do a lot of sitting. I know this beats standing the whole day but there are health complications that arise due to sitting for long periods of time, such as: •     Strained Neck: We often forward our neck while in front of a computer; this can lead to strains in your vertebrae. •     Back Pain: Being hunched up in front of a computer the whole day will have its own toll on the back. Moreover sitting puts more pressure on the back than standing. •     Shoulder Strain: There is always going to be stress on your shoulder while you do any task sitting down. How to Overcome Health Risks associated with prolonged sitting? •    Stack Sitting: Sit with your back stretching out a bit and each breath you take will automatically lengthen your spine. •    Stretch Sitting: Use your backrest support as a traction device to prevent your nerves from being impinged be

I have been inspired by the Vedic culture and Ayurveda influence. I have seen a difference in my life by incorporating Ayurveda into my regular regime. Today, I will like to share my thoughts with the readers so that they can benefit it from. India is the home for Ayurveda. The mind-body health system was best felt centuries ago led by sages of India. Ayurveda essentially means the science of life. It is the Ayurveda that has made a difference in today's life. With the dawn of realisation in staying healthy has given birth to many Ayurveda centres in India.   The best elements to remain healthy are taught here. The principle of Ayurveda states that - it is the mind that can make the changes in your life. Most of the time we take Yoga and Ayurveda as two different aspects of healthy life - yoga in the form of exercise and Ayurveda as medication. But there is a lot more to know about these old practices that can take you towards a new world of wellness. Yoga and Ayurveda tog

I was born and bought up in Delhi, and what I remember about the school admissions is that there were not so many rules in 1980’s for getting a child admitted to any of the schools in Delhi. That time parents didn’t have to face de trop problems to admit their child in a decent school. I am an alumni of Manav Sthali School, Rajinder Nagar. And this is the only school I attended. That time I used to live in Ashok Vihar, and most of my cousins used to study in schools like Delhi Public School, Bal Bharti Public School, Army Public School, etc. All of these schools were at a distance of more than 10 kilometer from our home. Today I also stand among those parents who have been facing problems related to nursery admissions in Delhi. I also have a dream to send my first-born, only daughter Taisha to a prominent school in Delhi. I have already filled the forms of approx 40 schools, and have already saved up a good amount of money. Now, I am keeping my fingers crossed with a hope that my

To start with, I dedicate my first blog to the #odd-even vehicular restriction used in Delhi because this was the first big thing to be happened in Delhi in New Year 2016. The pilot phase of the scheme was implemented for 15 days from January 1 - 15 with several exemptions like women and two-wheelers were out of its purview. Oh Delhi! Thanks for being so Supportive and Responsive towards the odd even plan formulated by State Government of Delhi to get pollution under control. Heads off to all the Delhites! After 15 days of trial run of odd-even plan, I think it was not the wisest approach followed by the Delhi Government. You may think I am biased but consider looking from the society’s perspective. In the long run, the people will buy multiple vehicle, and RTO will definitely get into corruption for allotting odd or even numbers to car owners. This will ultimately lead to increased congestion on roads and directly benefit car companies. Ya Somewhere; Delhi Government inj
