Traveling Do’s & Dont’s in 2021

  Why do we travel? How does it help us? I am not sure about what your view point is when it comes to travel but I travel for the following reasons; 1. It helps me learn about the new place, the people of that place, their food, their culture and other things. 2. It keeps me updated with regards to diversified culture and customs that exists in this world. 3. It also helps us to make new friends and acquaintances. 4. It helps to relieve us from stress related to work and other aspects. 5. Travel rejuvenate one’s body, mind and soul. The above mentioned are the most important aspects as to why I travel.

Book Review - Captain Khadoos

Book Review - Long Run : A Paradise Augmented

  Title - Long Run : A Paradise Augmented Author - T Sathish Genre - Fiction A beautiful novel by Sathish. The glitzy life of hugely successful fund managers comes with a cost, most of the times.  What sort of turmoil they undergo or face in their personal life to be successful in their professional life couldn’t have been explained better than this. I have not read a story with this crux till date.  It all begins with Anjali deciding to reach out to Raghu Santhanam, a blind fund guru.  Life was so colourful with Ram, Eshwar, Niranjan, Anuradha(Anu) & Raghu joining NIM.

It is during this time that Raghu & Anu fall in love with each other.  While this romance story seemed strong and eternal, things take a different turn when Anu & Raghu decides to join different firms in contrasting fields.  The dreams and goals conceived by Raghu becomes a vill...
