It was in 1929, when the Father of our nation, Mahatma Gandhi wrote about Uttarakhand hills- “In these hills, Nature’s hospitality eclipses all man can ever do. The enchanting beauties of the Himalayas, their bracing climate and the soothing green that envelope you leaves nothing more to be desired. I wonder whether the scenery of these hills and the climate are to be surpassed, if qualified, by any of the beauty spots of the world.” Hailing from the enchanting land of Uttarakhand, I can assertively declare that there is truly no place like it. Fondly called Dev Bhoomi or the dwelling of the Gods, Uttarakhand is an awe-inspiring northern Indian state that dazzles with its majestic beauty. Every chance I get, I'm drawn back to the captivating charm of Uttarakhand's hills. When it comes to sheer splendor and unparalleled grandiosity, the Uttarakhand Himalayas stand unrivaled amongst all other mountainous regions worldwide. This unspoiled gem, loaded with precious mineral depo

  It's crucial to take some time off from the daily routine and relax to avoid burnout, which is a common symptom of our fast-paced modern lifestyle. Therefore, it's important to allocate some time to unwind and de-stress by indulging in new hobbies and interests. These hobbies can help you disconnect from work, family stress, and other responsibilities while providing a means of enjoyment. Hobbies don't have to be productive or earn money; they can simply be things that you enjoy doing. There are many affordable hobbies for women, such as swimming, yoga, and cooking, which require minimal start-up costs. What benefits do hobbies bring to our mental, physical, and social well-being?

  Humans have been progressing for over 30,000 years, and their dominance in the world is largely due to their ability to communicate. Communication has evolved, from cave art to smoke signals, carrier pigeons, letters, and now modern technologies like telephones, telegrams, and emails. Each technological improvement has enabled people to communicate faster and more efficiently, effectively "shrinking the world". As communication continues to advance, humans will likely create even better ways to connect. In today's world, people have become reliant on online networks to accomplish a variety of tasks, including dating. The word "dating" has become somewhat ambiguous, with some using it to refer to an open relationship or casual togetherness. Dating typically involves spending time with someone you enjoy being with, but without a clear commitment to a future together. The goal is to get to know each other better and determine whether there is potential for a mo

For many of us living in cities, visiting our ancestral villages is like taking a trip back in time. The serene atmosphere, fresh air, and rustic charm that’s often missing from our daily lives, can transport us to a world that we might have only heard about from our grandparents. Recently, I got a chance to visit my maternal village with my cousin Harshita and it turned out to be a rejuvenating experience. Visiting my maternal village Rameshpur is always a very enjoyable experience for me. The small village in the Pauri Garhwal district of Uttarakhand is undoubtedly one of the most picturesque and breathtaking destinations for me. It is situated near Adishakti Maa Bhuvaneshwari Sidhpeet in Sanguda, Bilkhet near Satpuli town in Pauri Garhwal. We usually take a train from Delhi to Kotdwara from where Taxis and buses are available for Satpuli or Banghat. A local taxi then takes us to Tilia or Adi Shakti Maa Bhuvaneshwari temple. From there Rameshpur is around a kilometer of a steep clim

Tourist spots all over the world are beautiful in their own way and every place is distinctive for what it has to offer. They offer us great experiences, delightful moments, and spectacular views. While nature plays its game at its will in several locations, mankind had also been playing its own game. Very few places have the best of the whole thing and Arunachal Pradesh popularly known as the ‘Land of the Dawn-lit-Mountains’ is one such place. In Arunachal Pradesh, you wonder if nature has been more kind to some parts of the world. The state is rich with scenic beauty that offers relaxation and rejuvenation. It offers you peace and action. Places of worship or wildlife sanctuaries, you name it and the state has it.  Arunachal Pradesh finds its mention in the literature of Kalika Purana and the great Hindu Epic, The Mahabharata. It is considered to be the Prabhu Mountains of the Puranas. Hindu mythical legends say that Arunachal Pradesh was the place where sage Parshuram washed away
