If there’s something more cliche than gifting and receiving Soanpapdi on Diwali, it is the Happy New Year wishes. Saying Happy New Year to each and everyone with a smiling face is prevalent universally. The only day one would smile and greet others with the same intensity is the day when one is throwing aContinue reading “What’s the deadline for accepting Happy New Year Wishes?”
Start of the decade is here
Janus, the Greek God behind the name of January, has 2 heads. One head looking backward, and another towards the future.

The only problem being is not that you don’t know that there is an electric current there. Rather it is that youContinue reading “If it is not Agoraphobia”
