My window garden Global warming is increasing at an alarming rate and the rising swelter is getting a little unbearable as every day passes by. My 2018 resolution was to add more plants to my bedroom window. The pots consist of: A. Rose plant - that requires daily watering and fertilizer. B. An indoor plant. C. Money Plant. D. Hibiscus Flower. Why do I stress on the point of a plant nursery ? 1. Having plants around means more fresh oxygen. 2. You are connected with nature right from your home window. 3. You take a step towards saving the Earth and reducing the effects of climate change. 4. Having some greenery around also adds color to the interiors.

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...

Dedicating a blog to another fun employee at my office. So PK is the technical guy coming all the way from Dombivli to Mahalaxmi. God knows how he travels. Being from a Maharashtrian family, he is teaching me new Marathi words and in turn I correct his English. Our normal day includes irritating each other and my favorite tagging him in memes. Other things we do: 1. Search designs for his sherwani ( not for his marriage though) 2. Hair cuts that would suit him 3. Removing errors in people's work we don't LIKE 4. Share samosa ( I have the crust and he eats whatever is left) 5. Monday and Tuesday he does not eat because he hates VEGETERIAN food 6. Irritating me throughout the day 7. His continuous singing (which can get irritating) Favorite singers: Vidya Vox, Shirley Sethia Favorite color: Red Favorite line: Why this Kolaveri Di?
