5 reasons to travel Solo and #SayYesToTheWorld

    #SayYesToTheWorld Credit- Pinterest  The feeling of travelling alone is completely different as compared to going on a trip with groups or two. While a trip with friends and families can be memorable and fun, but it is always an enriching experience to travel solo. If you ask me, I would probably tell you how travelling solo was something which has always been in ‘Bucket List’ ever since I got my hands on my passport. Not that I don't want a travel companion, but it is rather the need of a 'Me' time which is something I crave for. I find it as a way of filling up a positive vibes, a life changing experience or more about bringing you closer to yourself and the world. Given a chance anytime, I would leave everything behind, and keep going back to globetrotting alone. Any time. Imagine how you will get to see and discover better things without worrying about who you came with. It's not just the place you get to explore, the diverse culture differences, ...

How my Instagram got hacked and How I recovered it

As a social media influencer who is constantly depended on their online followers and online content, the worst nightmare ever will be his/her social media account getting hacked. Not that the hackers can misuse your identity, but the thoughts of working and growing your online presence not only scares you but only add woes to your already broken soul. And, if you are using social media just a way to maintain your social status, I bet it will make you feel the same way, maybe.  Unfortunately, this happened to me, and I became the victim of what one might call an identity theft. It all started one fine Friday morning, right after my birthday when I woke up and wanted to scroll through my Instagram account to check on the amount of likes I received on the picture which I uploaded the day before. And Lo and behold! I couldn’t sign into my own account as it signaled me that   I was using a wrong username and password, I checked and re-checked the s...

Book Review: Letters to My Ex by Nikita Singh

Blurb “It feels like I'm on autopilot; I have no control over anything. The pain of losing you is so crippling that I can barely hold pieces of myself together. The slightest nudge could break me. But somehow, my possessed brain knows what I need. It's telling me to stick to my choice, to stay away from you, to open a Word document and bleed on paper, try to throw up all my jumbled thoughts in form of words, collect all disconnected facts, try to make sense of it all.' From the bestselling author of Like a Love Song and Every Time It Rains, a story of heartbreak and things left unsaid...” Tis the season of Love… yes, Valentine’s Day is over, but the spirit of love stills lingers on… Agree? Not to sound too cliché, but going with the mood of love this month, I decided to read some good romance novels in order to be on par with the spirit of love. Incidentally, this book ‘Letters to My Ex’ by Nikita Singh with its beautiful cover happened to draw my attention.  Rel...
