            Travelogues are not my really thing. But when I wrote these travel blogs from my personal experiences, I loved playing with words and images. And nature is ever so inviting for a writer. 

Catch the best of Alappuzha, in my blog--- https://blog.xoxoday.com/alleppey-visit/6548

Ooty Trip was refreshing and it came at the right time when I needed it most. So glad to have been in the midst of hills and discovered for the first time the chill of the Queen of the Hills, as many like to call the place.

Reasons Why you should Manage your Anger

                                                   Are you among many of our generation who bear the brunt of their own anger?

For the last one week, my network has been buzzing with these kinds of messages and even with forwards of information about where to find the necessities much of which, I doubted, was authentic. It was discomforting and I decided to give myself a day off from all the buzz. And I sat down to simply pen down a few thoughts that have been bubbling inside me since some time in an attempt to make some sense of the situation we are in for more than a year now.  It’s one year now.. More than that that we got introduced to a new way of living (so to say) which most of us (at least, I never did) had no inkling about.

Married to Mediocrity?

                         To call something or someone mediocre is often a derogatory comment. In schools we are motivated to rise above the mediocre and be the exceptional or outstanding. In this attempt, we often associate the term “mediocrity” to something that lacks attractiveness or deserves attention. There is always a cream layer of students in a class and the mediocre is just “the rest”. Low in ambitions and less in fighting spirit.
