Plastic Plastic Every where.. A challenge – count the number of plastic items that are there around you and at your place(in your fridge). A lot – and you know it. Maharashtra banned plastic – a great move, appreciated by many – but did you ban it from your life? Its ubiquitous – and we know it. But we can choose a good quality plastic to avoid its harmful effects – especially the ones which we use to store food items and juices and of course Water bottles - now that’s in our control. A Good quality plastic – does it exist? Well ever wondered about what the number in that small ‘recycle’ triangle stands for? For those who don’t know – here is a little sneak peak.

An Experience to experience One of the hits when it comes to holiday destinations – Andaman islands – The feeling that you get when you see the various tiny islands through the tiny window of your flight can not be expressed. An island very safe for solo travelers (Yes, also for solo women travelers!) and filled with helpful locals would make your experience worthwhile.

Basically the medical industry is in p...

My First Blog! To begin with this would be my inaugural blog on blogger. So let me tell you a little about myself - that I am on an experiment of discovering a new side of myself i.e exploring a thing called “Travelling” – Something I wished to do way back but could not. Recently I went on an expedition to visit a beautiful place with my childhood friends. I visited Andaman. One thing I learnt from my previous travel experience is the "company" while travelling is very important. We were amazed to witness aesthetic beauty of nature while covering 3 islands in Andaman.
