Nature And Light
A guest post for Pratikshya Mishra's Magic Moments: I have been born and brought up in Assam, a northeastern state in India. I have grown up amidst greenery, fresh air and lots of natural light. These are the luxuries in the modern world which I had the privilege to take for granted. I had never …

Thankful & Grateful=Happy
Each time I go out of my home and see people around, I realize how privileged I have been. Sometimes when we drive back home late at night after a movie or an outing, I see people sleeping on the pavements, peddlers returning home on their bicycles or carts after selling ice-cream, balloons and knick-knacks …
