Life Through Tinted Lense

I recently came across a TED talk and that made me research more on the subject of it and how we can contribute on an individual level. Why Individual level, well there are various things I want to do, small steps that I feel will bring me peace and help the environment, but every-time I think of something and always I look up for available group which I can join, mostly the search result ends up with groups seeking donations and never has any group come back seeking volunteer support. But this was different for that first time I am looking for resources and not people or group, obviously they are not easy, but I believe they can be managed. First things first, details of what I am talking about: https://www.ted.com/talks/shubhendu_sharma_how_to_grow_a_tiny_forest_anywhere Please watch this, using their methods we can create small patches of forest near us. Let's all get together and give back to our environment http://www.afforestt.com/index.html# Their webpage with all

We recently visited the hills, the Himalayan Mountains, there is nothing more majestic and serene than the snow laden tops, the beautiful valleys. So if anyone out there is planning to visit, you can use our travel itinerary. The first thing we thought of was the places we wanted to cover, there are so many of them that it is important to list down to a few keeping in mind the travel time they require, below are the places we visited in accordance to our arrival there 1) Gangtok 2) Lachen 3) Lachung 4) Gangtok We had a total of 7 days and had booked a vehicle in advance, the ones best suited to give you are comfortable travel are xylo and innova. Our journey started from Delhi to Bagdogra by flight, this itself can be an experience if you take seats to your left as you can get a glimpse of himalayan range around 15-20 mins before landing. We had our booked vehicle at airport for pickup and went straight to Gangtok, took halt for a night, you can get lot of decent hotels for a

I often come across people with different mind set, different beliefs and mostly differently wired brains. If we have to put everyone in unit of measurement we might believe in the current aptitude system or examinations, but is that all what we are, few numbers, a rating, score card, pay check. I believe we are more than that, is it true that a person who invented/discovered lots in science or a person who discovered what was lost years ago, or someone who could go in space and come back have contributed more than one who has not done anything of this sorts... to me the answer is no, to me the one who lived and mattered has contributed, I once heard someone say that humans are the most important resource because you cannot replace them, when a life is lost a vacuum is created which no one else can fill. May be for me life's contribution is in living it, knowing it, may be existence is the sole purpose and everything else is the periphery of it which doesn't really matter.

There is this new serial airing in my country-India, which is based on the atrocities faces by a gang rape victim. The above statement summarised what my topic of writing this blog is, and let me first clarify before anyone starts to bash out how dare I speak on a topic as such, I am not here to list out rights and wrongs, but just my view and perspective on what responsible creative media should be like in a country like ours-India. This show from what I saw till now is based on a girl, gang raped, in pain, feeling violated, and a society that blames her, a group of four men violating her and then finding a way out, a lawyer supporting them after they accepted that they committed such a heinous crime, a family where her sister in law is not supportive and blames her, hides evidences, and a long painful journey of losing love and everything. PEOPLE please stop, portraying something so horrifying with such horrifying conclusion will not help any women here, it will drive people aw

I recently got to travel... 7 days of escape, the place I chose was Sikkim and suddenly i realised we spend a lot of time planning our trip, i know we have these agencies to plan it, but let's face it how many of us want a strict itinerary, specially someone else deciding what time we need to wake up. So post this travel I devised an efficient way to plan my trip... especially from start to finish, which means below questions were addressed: 1) when to travel 2) why to travel 3) expectations 4) when to go and then multiple questions around HOW... I have realised every season start makes us want to travel to destinations with last season, for e.g. as summers dawn on us we all head to mountains and colder locations, and as WINTER IS COMING we all visit places with summer left in them. I have spent days planning but finally go this simple pattern and trust me my planning time has reduced to half... i think this happens as human is always more stuck to past than
