Forrest Gump is one of my favorite movies. I highly recommend watching this movie if you haven’t. It is about a man from a small town in Alabama, who has a low IQ. Nobody expects him to do great things. But with encouragement from his mother, it gives him the motivation to accomplish many things. I knew when I came

BUCKET LIST: Lessons learnt from Skydiving
Like all children, I had strong faith in my infinite ability to achieve anything; in fact I still do. I was 12 when I found out about skydiving and automatically I knew I had to do it. I knew this was as close as I’d get to be Peter Pan. A couple of years later, I had my first chance
BUCKET LIST: GUIDE TO UNDERSTANDING INDIAN WEDDINGS
When I was younger my mother never stopped speaking about how she loved India. In our house, we loved the food, the fabrics, the color, the movies, the ora. My father followed her one day, curious about her fascination but it ended in the complete opposite, he hated it. I always wanted to go and see how I felt. What

Transitions are always difficult. This past month has flown by. From final projects, family visiting, traveling and now packing up.

Another year has come and gone. 2011 has been a fabulous year, where I have been able to connect with some old friends and make new ones.

Traveling Mindset
Recently my friend Susan shared with me a book which was basically a collaboration of powerful stories. It provoked to think about all the amazing people I have an opportunity to meet and how never to underestimate how much people go through. From my parents, family members, friends and absolute stranger, no matter the scale of the problem we have
HOW TO COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
We can not change the past, the present and the future however is in our hands. When I was growing up my mother drilled into us a story of being grateful. We were in the car on the way to school when my little brother wasn’t looking at the cars around and complaining because he wanted us to have a
