'Chai'-India's Elixir  You get up in the wee hours, get ready and grab your coffee on your way to work. This all changes when you enter the world of India which heralds a time of outright diversity and inclusivity.  Waking up at dawn in India means only one thing- sipping onto chai (tea). The country has had quite a history with chai as it is emblematic of wisdom. At first, with royalty it carried down with the other generations, gradually. For all the Indian artists, poets, inventors and workers, masala chai has always been an enduring source of inspiration for them. Eventually, chai became an indispensable part of the Indian heritage.  There are inordinate amount of memories embedded with chai- drinking it with your beloved partner, family member or yourself while admiring the landscape of dawn or dusk. Undoubtedly, it leaves an indelible impression on one's mind.  Similarly, it was one such morning, raining cats and dogs, when my mother ( a habitual tea drinker) and
Being Indian-American!!! Four years ago, I was a girl indigenous to the Indian culture yet completely born out of the American environment. My parents decided to bring me to India for my secondary education. The Vanya Sahi who was in America simply had a mind amid the materialistic world. However, the moment I entered this nation, it heralded a time period of diversity and inclusivity in my life. At first, I was grappling with the condition here. The kids and people had a completely different mentality than the Americans. I wouldn't say immature, but carefree and people of joie de vivre. In the beginning, it seemed to be a cultural trauma for me where exchange of ideas was a bit stiff. The first school I chose was a day-boarding and all I used to do was cry, weeping for my old life back, missing my family-friends in the USA. The teachers tried their best to placate me and support in every way of life, which they did. I have got to say that the first couple of years were one of the

Ram Chandra- The Vishnu Trilogy                              Author- Amish Tripathi  All along, I have been promising my fascinated readers about the book review of the Ram Chandra Series, which majorly inspired me to not only interestingly start this blog but to also get an outright perspective of life, throughout. I assure you that with the help of this book review, you will be unequivocally urged to open the novels and spend day and night thinking about them. When I usually talk about Hindu Mythology, it is uncertain whether the incidents actually did happen. However, the unforgettable time-periods of India's history, Ramayana and Mahabharata, are frequently reiterated in traditional Indian households as they happen to unravel those concealed facts, knowledge and ethics that can even support the helpless in today's world. Bhagvad Gita, (Bhagvad- God, Gita-Song) is a beautiful narration of the Mahabharta where everything is expressed through God's Song (A video of it has

The Karmic Cycle! Besides looking into our soul and destiny, it is the Karma Bank Account due to which half of the things happen to us in this life. As everyone knows that each soul is reincarnated and as per his/her karma of the previous life, he is led to his next life accordingly. For instance: If you have done something immensely appreciative, you get a very easy-going and convenient life ahead. However, if you have broken a few hearts, you will pay dearly in the next cycle of life .  Basically, you have to keep the amount of good karmas steady as at the end of your life God (the Supreme Energy) checks it like a balance sheet with all your wrong-doings along with your righteousness. Each soul in this multiverse has seven oscillations in the life cycle at which the soul eventually becomes mature, old enough with all the karmic debts paid and reaching the zenith of either moksha (salvation) ultimately. Nevertheless, the ones who are incorrigible enough to not even pay off the karmic
