When Airports Become Bus Stand and Bus Stand becomes Airport

Last few weeks I had the opportunity to stay in God's own country - Kerala. Everything here is so different that I now understood how a communist society was able to nourish in a democratic country which advocates privatisation, foreign investment and disinvestment. People here breath politics and nothing arouses them as bringing criminals to justice, they take it as their life motto. With investigative journalism, journalists make sure their elected representatives conform to socialist stand...

The Thin line of difference between Nudity and Promiscuity.

Today morning I woke up with the news that Hugh Hefner, the founder of playboy died at the age 91. For a long time Hugh was a character which I was following.

Terrace Greens, Sterling Resorts, Munnar (Kerala)- Hotel Review

I thought it was a 5-Star Property and was disappointed with the room and their services. But, then later i came to know it's a 4 Star property and I was relieved that 5 star hotels in India are not compromising on their quality. LOCATIONThis hotel is 18 km away from  Munnar town and it will take around 1 hour to reach there.

This was a book which i wanted to read for a long time. I never had the time to read and today i finished reading this.

Why Do People Fall in Love?

Recently i happened to see many Facebook Posts where my college friends have married their college sweethearts and loving boyfriends. While i was in college and listening to their love stories, i never even thought they would marry them mostly because i thought it is just an infatuation and it will go away once they start living their real life. Another reason is that it is very common in India that girls and boys giving up their so called "love" when they find another suitable person for arr...
