This Diwali I headed to one of the umpteen Diwali parties and picked up some really unexpected life lessons. Just like one should know when to stop eating, one should know when to exit a party, and that too gracefully. Also arriving late is extremely fashionable as the mood of the place is just right…

Just as we sat lapping up some atrociously delicious fare from the ice cream store of Ghirardelli my father read out a news pop-up that claimed dark chocolate and chocolate makers included lead and cadmium in their very popular creations. Lead and cadmium levels could seriously impair human function the study claimed. At the same…

When I came back from Magic Kingdom I came back with a quote stuck in my head, it was Walt Disney’s “If you can dream it, you can do it”. And several years later, precisely 23, a lot more have found their way into my head, and I’d like to share them here, here they…

It is a seven-letter word, beginning with an O and ending with an O and it has land in it. Have you guessed it already or must I spell it for you? Ah well then, it is Orlando! And needless to say Mr Walt Disney has a huge hand in this, and America is known…

How can you be so splendid Miami? So splendid that it could actually hurt. Oh well I am talking of the Miami beach specifically, and more specifically the Jelly fish in the waters of the Atlantic that kisses the shores of the city of Miami, a younger more vivacious Manhattan, with sunshine all the year…

The city of Montreal is drenched in French and thus in all things beautiful. The unquestionable lurking of art in every corner is morely supplanted by pretty streets that could put even the streets of Paris to shame. And their Notre Dame, a 1:1 replica os the original one in the city of lights is…

But it’s exact replica built over seven hundred years later lives on in the once French occupied territories of Quebec in the city of Montréal, though without the picturesque Seine running by its side. Instead…

Niagara Falls and as it does it rises it’s beholder to heights unparalleled. It offers views like no place else on the world and feels like little else. From the Canadian side the falls seem like just another place, seem so incidental but while walking up the Bridal Veil falls present themselves first up and…

Tucked away in the Northern Hemisphere, on one of the Great Lakes, Lake Ontario is the city that boasts of towering skyscraper, ample alleys, generous sidewalks and parks for every age. While the people seem to adore peace and quiet in general, I couldn’t help adoring the pretty dogs that came out for a walk…

Now, now, now, I heard that fashion boosts confidence, at times the environment, most often the GDP, but would one ever think that fashion holds the potential of boosting health? Thats pretty much a tall claim to make and as fast fashion or even haute couture brands use the swishiest of fabrics, to make uber…

All the greatest contributors to society have a routine I am told, just as I go flitting about my day full of chaos, I believe that time blocking is of the essence, also the fact that none of the self-made billionaires of merit seem to be fond of wearing watches and with that very gesture…
