I would want my daughter who would turn 6 years old, in a month to see the world, meet strangers and understand their culture, history, experience the pleasures of travel and bring memories from across the globe. Didn’t someone say, To travel is…

Axis Mobile App Meet

Banking transactions on the go is the need of the hour rather than luxury. In today’s fast paced life when we are running to close on assignments, meet ends and balance personal life you need something that can make your life easier. When I received an invite for the Make the Axis Acquaintance I wondered what exactly would be in store. Would it be a mediocre, boring session that would not be up to the mark.

He breathes out and smells his breath against his palm. He grunts at the foul smell.  He rubs his eyes and walks to the nearest babul tree, breaks the bark of the tree and chews it between his teeth. He scowls at the strange taste and again smells his breath. He is not satisfied with the result.

I was in my eight grade and as part of my school project work had to knit a pair of booties. I was busy needling the pink hued yarn when by mistake I happened to stumble into a knot. Try as I would I was unable to untie the knot. After struggling for five minutes I gave up. My grandmother was seated across the room reading a book.

I had traveled down South to meet my grandmother during my college holidays. I was seated on the sofa next to her ailing self. Her movements were restricted due to rheumatism and she required support. As we sat catching up on the happenings in each other’s lives we heard someone at the door. My mother’s distant cousin had dropped by. She looked quite pale and weak. Her shoulders were drooping and her hair was disheveled. After the initial greeting the cat was out of the bag. Her husband had suffered heavy losses in…

This post is a part of the ‘Shave or Crave’ movement in association with BlogAdda.com       It was the first day of the New Year and I was busy preparing the breakfast when the doorbell rang. I opened the door to find someone standing tall with cheeks that looked like a honey comb. On closer inspection I recognized him to be our neighbor Amol who had managed to grow a moss of hair that was beyond the stubble stage.
