So this New Year what do you have? A list of Resolutions or a dreamy Wish-list!

“I will start getting up early!”
“I will be a gym regular for sure; I need to lose those extra pounds man!”
“I won’t lose my temper no matter what!”
“No smoking from tomorrow!”
Oops! Does that sound like last year, or no a year before that, or wait maybe it was in 2009! So many of us or in fact most of us are stuck with the same resolutions with every passing year. I think I would better say we have the same wish-list every year than perhaps a New Year resolution!

It’s our accumulated desires which get a voice through the word resolution and we hope to follow them at least some time or some year. The word resolution is just to give a “light kick” to our desires, so much so that we follow it for a day at least. Like I remember the new year’s morning for the year 2013 which was the only day that year when I woke up at five, went for a walk and smiled and wished good morning to every person whom I passed by that day! From the next day and onwards I was the same lazy and grumpy girl!


So well this year I have an idea! Instead of crowding my diary with a huge list of resolutions I will rather have just one resolution, which would be, to take every day as a new day and a new chapter and live each day like I actually dream of living; instead of waiting for yet another year with just one ‘New Year’s Day’ to follow my wish-list! And well, since we have two more days in hand before I can follow this, I am my grumpy best until tomorrow, so expect a Hello! Full of smiles Only from Monday ;) 
Best wishes for a great year to anyone reading this! Happy 2018! 
p.s: I have put a picture from last year when I had a wall full of resolutions! Now please don't ask me how many of those did I follow;)

Ranveer Allahbadia is just the tip of the iceberg! #digitalworld

  In a recent incident, popular podcaster and YouTuber Ranveer Allahbadia faced widespread criticism for making an inappropriate remark that was deemed unacceptable by many. Thank God for that, or else we are now a society where everything under the sun is rather normalised. I wouldn’t repeat the remark here, I can’t, it's out of my scope to write anything like that. Anyway, after that so-called remark on a show run by a popular comedian, Samay Raina was aired and shared, the internet was set on fire. I casually opened my Twitter on Sunday and was taken aback by the clip which was being circulated. It looked something like this: Some people, popular in the world of the internet sitting on a panel and roasting a contestant that stood in front of them. A highly vulgar remark was made by Ranveer, and the rest of the panel members along with the audience joined in laughter and applause. ‘Ah! Isn’t all this becoming rather common nowadays!’ was my first reaction, following which ...

A drive into the Himalayas

Well, the last week of December is as festive as it can get for anybody and everybody. It’s a week that calls for some year-end celebrations, get together’s and travel. I wanted to plan something for that week since eternity but my usual attitude to push every work till the last moment, made me plan absolutely nothing till almost the 20 th of December! It was on the 20 th that it struck me that we needed to book tickets to travel, and of course, we needed to book a hotel to stay. Various places within the country, including popular destinations like Goa, were packed and out of budget for us. There were two options that we were left with; 1) stay back home and crib 2) explore something that we never explored before. After a series of discussions, we came to a common conclusion to travel to Pokhara city in Nepal. I tried searching a lot to get some details about the roads, the recommended route etc but couldn’t get any detailed post and thus I was certain to post a blog on it. ...

Annoyed by children on board? This read is for you

A recent Instagram post by a well-known celebrity writer read “They should give away free birth control pills on all airlines as a public service.” I juggled for a long time to understand what it meant, but couldn’t until I saw the only hashtag the writer had used as a caption beneath, #annoyingchildrenonboard. This post came after almost a week of relaxing and luxurious holiday that he had in Thailand. As most of the posts by this writer are relatable, at times funny and witty, it took me a while to comprehend what he had written. How could he post such a thing ? I thought, and scrolled through the comments section. In the comments I saw outpouring negativity for little children and their parents inside airplanes. “It’s so irritating!” one comment read, “I wanted to sleep peacefully on my three-hour flight, but the child behind just couldn’t shut up. Why do people produce when they can’t teach their children basic etiquette!!!” “So relatable,” read another, “an annoying baby was cryin...
