Travelling is one of main reasons people love to make use of flights. It requires less time to reach your destination (fastest from all means of transport) and is efficient and comfortable. It is efficient and is accessible to all areas regardless the obstruction of land. So it can be rightly said that ‘The world is your oyster and you are its shell’ has a perfect meaning over here, where taking advantage of aviation transport is concerned. On this note, millions of people across the world are making use of flights on a nations and international basis. Having emphasised this positively, there are certain things that many of us do not even know!!   For instance, there are up to 12 Hollywood celebrities who also have a pilot’s license as well as own their own private jet!      Interesting, isn’t that? Well, this is something I never knew!   Imagine the amount of effort and rigorous process to train to become a pilot! Certain Top list actors l...

Burn your ego, expectations and everything in the fire of Holi and enjoy the festival. Happy Holi! Every year, one after the other this Hindu spring festival Holi passes by and if your just like ‘ME’ you would just associate this festival as that as one of water balloons and coloured powder! Yes! That's all I ever thought it was throughout my childhood for years altogether, until this feeling of curiosity started to ring in harder than the desire to play. That's when I knew I just had to stop and just understand why it was being celebrated, its history and why it continued to be celebrated.     So, my deep exploration into this topic began and wasn't a small one. It wasn't India that was celebrating Holi I found out that other parts of the world were also too! Now that was something really interesting! Beyond the Indian diaspora, which meant including Nepal, South Asia, Jamaica, Suriname, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, South Africa, Malaysia, the Unit...

What would you do if you wanted to make a first good impression, and walked out the door  (with your bag) but were absolutely clueless about what you were to carry along inside! Now, this sounds very relatable doesn't it? Of course there are different types of bags – the tote bag, the saddle purse, a sling bag; but you get the drift! Now, in a very different direction and field (of course) imagine you had to vote for a particular candidate, but didn’t know too much about what pointers to keep in mind. Now, this,is exactly why it is important to follow the news! Once a  candidate is elected there will be severe criticism, the who, why, why not, where, when , etc. So, some pointers to keep in mind when voting for the new Prime Minister and his Government are - to have a huge infrastructure push, a person and government able to tackle corruption, improve human development index (human skilled manpower and young population), a tremendous improvement towards health and ...

Art something that is created with imagination and skill meant to arouse an emotional response with its audience. Joyce Carol Oates had said that art provokes, disturbs and arouses emotions to expand sympathies.   The depiction of culture forms a very pivotal role in art forms – whichever country it comes from.  This would include the social behaviour of the people and norms of the human society.  Some of the popular artists that have remained famous include Leonardo Da Vinci,  Edvard Munch, Michelangelo, Vincent Van Gogh, Rene Magritte, Claude Monet, Jan Vermeer and Jean Renoir. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jWAa7EigJRs The elements of art are very much inclusive of the physical compositions of the artwork such as colour, texture and contour; and form which includes visual design principles such as contrast, design, proportion, rhythm, proximity, harmony and balance.     Good art engages with its audience –craf...
