Aloe Vera to the RESCUE!!!

Aloe Vera How to get your skin naturally glowing pimple-free? Apply aloe vera.  It is the most natural moisturizer you can find. It is easy to grow in your homes as well.  What you need is  Aloe vera gel, fresh from the plant. Cut one leaf and cut out any thorns on them. Apply directly to the skin.

Ladies be more careful while travelling!

Safety First Women need to be careful while traveling in trains or at stations with a lot of crowds. I read an article in TOI regarding a woman being injected with a drug that would numb her arm and the offender can steal her bag. I was shocked to my core to read that a lady, a woman or even a girl is not safe at any point in their life. It is so disgusting and disturbing as well. This woman felt her hand go numb while she was traveling back home. She actually could not feel her arm for many days. Then she also felt pain in her left shoulder. This is disturbing because the offenders are using other ways to steal that may lead to more disastrous damage to any other woman or human. So this post is to let all the Women in Mumbai to know this and be careful with themselves and their belongings. The offenders need to understand that someday it could be their sister, daughter or mother. Would they want any female in their house to suffer like this? You can also u...

Plight in Mumbai

A sad day today for all the Mumbaikars! The space crunch is getting even worse. People lost their lives due to improper or inadequate facilities provided. The Government really needs to buck up. The news of the Elphinstone Road station stampede has shocked everyone. Being the last day of Navratri, many people throng to the Mahalaxmi temple and as it’s a working day, it is always crowded. But the death of 22 people (as declared in the news) is sad. Mumbai is a city with the ever-changing climate. Sometimes it is hot and another second raining heavily. Mumbai has never been ready for the rains. A month back, heavy rains again crippled the city. Potholes everywhere and now “STAMPEDE” due to space crunch. Numerous people throng to the city of dreams every day. The population is rising, but basic amenities are not yet upgraded. AC or bullet trains will not solve any population issue. Right now what Mumbaikars need are better amenities like proper roads, flood management, b...

So the topic I want to talk about is JOBS in Mumbai. Having faced it, I know how a fresher feels after graduating. Everyone says Mumbai is the “city of dreams” but finding a job is not easy.
