5 Charities which make Christmas special for Children  Hello and Welcome back, dear Chai buddies! Hope you are having a great time preparing for Christmas. As Christmas is just around the corner, it's important to remember that some people are not as fortunate as others. And the joy of Christmas multiplies through sharing and caring. So, this festive season, make a difference by donating to a charity that supports the less fortunate. Here are 5 charities that help make Christmas joyful for all the 'little humans' among us.  1. Make a wish The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children all year long, especially those suffering from critical illness or do not have sufficient medical support.

 Hello and welcome back my dear Chai buddies! In today's blog, we will introduce LGBTQ+ schools in India which truly focus on embracing inclusivity.  Photo by Pawel Czerwinski on Unsplash Schools play an important role in imparting not just education but creating a space for holistic growth for a person. It prepares a person for life by shaping one's perceptions and personalities. Bullies, or assaults in one's formative years at school plays a huge role in scarring one's memories for life.

And Indian schools are upgrading themselves to prepare the youth for a global future. But, what has received far less attention than it should have, is the case of LGBTQ+ in

 Hello my Chai buddies and welcome back. Hope you all have been having an amazing time so far this November.  Today's blog is for my student friends who are planning to study abroad. Having studied abroad myself, and after a lot of conversation with my peers, I realized that many find the task of applying to a foreign university pretty daunting.

And then, we all have come across some of those agents who claims to paint such a motivation letter for us that we ourselves might fail to recognize ourselves in it. How would then we convince the admission board to believe in us and recognize our talents? So, in today's blog, we will talk about how to make the stunning application that helps you stand out from among the other hundreds of applicants and get you an interview. Mind it though - interview is a very crucial step in selection. And you will need to ace it as well. But we will cover that part in a later blog. For

Hello! Welcome back, my lovely buddies. Happy Dussehra to all of you!. I hope you had an amazing Navratri. October is the month of several festivals lined one next to another. Now that Navratri is over, many of you may be looking forward to the upcoming festivities of Karwa Chauth, Diwali, and Halloween. Especially for those in relationships (married / dating / together / single wish to mingle etc.), you may be considering celebrating Karwa Chauth for your significant other and praying for their well-being.  Image by Harryarts on Freepik But, my dear ladies, the thought of fasting scares the shit out of you. Or maybe you have scrolled through the shorts by "epitomes of Modern Indian Women (aka. RPS and BD)" criticizing women fasting during Karwa Chauth and calling it a back-dated mentality. And perhaps, in reality, you do have a very hectic schedule on that day - a presentation in front of investors; an exam at your college; a review meeting with your boss; etc. And maybe
