Though we feel proud of boasting about sending(knowledge export)our best people to the U.S and European nation to work in Fortune 500 companies, what we miss out is that these may become redundant in the next 30 years or so.

Title - Paper Asylum Author - Rochelle Potkar Genre - Haibun Publisher - CopperCoin ISBN - 978-93-84109-26-4 I have reviewed books belonging to various genre and for the first time ever, I got an opportunity to review the boo which is based on Haibun. What is Haibun ? While we are very much familiar about Haiku which has originated from Japan, Haibun is a prose poetry or prosimetric literary which also has its origin going back to Japan. This is a combination of Prose and Haiku. If you are a lover of both of these, you are in for a delight for sure. Coming to the book, author who has won various international competitions for her writing has done a proper justification to the book by bringing out various aspects in life. I could sense the hidden sarcasm in few places(which has been used in a positive way - as I do not want to mention the word RIGHT since I cannot define what is RIGHT which may not be RIGHT to you). This 100 page book is like a breeze t...

NotionPress is one of the leading publishers in India which has brought the dream of publishing a book, a reality to thousands of budding/wannabe authors.

The company has grown to such an extent that its youngest author is just 7 years old and the oldest author is 95 years. They have been re-inventing themselves and had come up with an extra-ordinary service called XPress Publishing . As you could see from the above, the brand has evolved in such a way that through their newly introduced unique service, one could p...

We all tend to change the diapers of our babies as soon as we see some rashes on their skin.

They can also develop rashes when the skin comes into contact with chemicals or chemical induced products. Does this include only diapers? My answer is a BIG NO . While diapers are the major reason for the cause of rashes on the delicate baby skin, there is another which plays a major role. It is none other than Wipes. How could we forget it so easily? Wipes plays a vital role in keeping the baby clean. Isn't it? When this is the case, shouldn't that be skin frien...
