Look it Up, Mary

My Mom couldn’t stand to have a question and not have the answer to it. Our small farm house had two sets of encyclopedias when I was growing up. We couldn’t afford the World Book from the salesman that came by, but my resourceful father found a Funk and Wagnall’s set at a garage sale. It was the subject of many jokes on Laugh-In, but in our household it was a prized possession The set was only 5 years old and had fairly recent information. Through the years, we acquired a used set of Encycloped… Continue

What is a Hostel ?

This is my first blog and i would enjoy to write down a few sentences about hostels. Hostels are a magnificent way to travel the world on a budget. From the cheapest to the more grand there is something to accommodate every preference and plan. The important thing about hostels is that tons of college students flock to them since they are cheap and enjoyable so there is continuously lots of student travelers around to get-together with! In most every other… Continue

lesson

I think this is my rebirth, for according to me rebirth is when one misses a lifetime of misery in the nick of time. This near miss can be a result of a number of factors, internal and external. But when we trusts God or some superpower and are in trouble (read “deep shit”) i firmly believe that the entire universe conspires to keep you safe and happy. I agree it’s better to follow your instincts, but sometimes one is blinded by short term happiness and fails to see the larger picture. And in th… Continue

Volunteering in your pyjamas!

Most people think of volunteering as joining a group of people at a certain place and a certain time to perform actions that benefit others.

This to me is a mindset change as I think people aren't even aware that you can help charities / worthy causes beyond your own doorstep. Almost everybody I know has no idea about these micro volunteer opportuniti… Continue
