Life over coffee

Hello everybody and wish you all a very happy friendship day. Hope you all had or will have a great time today with your friends, celebrating a grand way. Even if your friends live miles away, I am sure, atleast today you would have taken out time from your busy schedule and wished them - a very happy friendship day. Well, today I would rather tell you all, a story about a girl who is just like all of us. She was born in a well-to-do family, and because her father had a transferrable job, she also had the opportunity to travel to a lot of places and make lots and lots of friends. Then, with time, as technological development also changed the way we keep company, she and all her friends shifted to the net zone. And loyalty and trustworthiness began being measured in committed strings of likes and comments. Initially what began as a matter of convenience shifted to being an established trend. And all these friends and the girl, unknowingly entered in a competition series - who has th...

Hello everyone. This is your friend Prabhasini back again, with another pretty interesting solution to a widespread problem - the feeling of loneliness. The rains have set in, and it is really very difficult to have any outdoor pursuit in this weather, unless you can manage to go on a long drive. However, your busy schedule combined with that of your parents or friends, make it really impossible to plan something far off.

Or, you might have recently had a break-up, and wish to engage yourself in something else altogether, not wine, not sleeping pills, but a dose of creative immersion, which would relieve your pain and let you breathe free and start afresh. But the weather is certainly replicating your inner feelings, which you find disgusting. Or, you somehow feel low. Well, if this is you, ...

Hello and welcome back. This is your friend Prabhasini and today we will delve into an interesting phenomenon - the training imparted, right from the time one is a toddler, of carrying load. And this is a very common sight in most streets of India, where young kids carry an overloaded bag on their tender backs, while making way through metros, crowded buses, serpentine auto queues etc. And even critical is the fact that often these bags weigh more than the ability the child can carry. And all these are silently being accepted assuming all these will contribute to the knowledge acquired, to the solid foundation being made. However, has ever anyone wondered - how at all would a strong pillar stand erect on a decayed backbone. Why has the cases of athritis being reported even in younger ages, which was previously associated with an older age. Medical science has proven it now, that an overweighted backpack will lead to long term deformation in the backbone. Often it renders the bac...
