Sun Sand & Sea- Amazing Thailand Always Amazes You

A majestic blend of vibrant and lively culture, mesmerizing beauty and incredible people, Thailand took over my senses right from the moment I stepped out of the beautiful Suvarnabhumi airport. Rich, mystical and with a cultural heritage that spans eon, the mysteries of this lovely land can only be unveiled with an open heart, a heart that wishes and dreams to relax, rejuvenate and revive in true sense.

Although everything about Thailand is an everlasting memory but the crowning glory has to be the breath-taking phi phi island tour. The experience cannot be described in words, you have to be there to understand what “natural nirvana” really means. It’s as if you have left this stressful world and entered into a serene domain of unbelievable beauty. As if the mighty Gods have opened the gate of heaven for you to appreciate and enjoy.

This is just the beginning of my posts on Thailand; the remaining posts will describe the beauty of each and every spot in detail. Just wait and watch!

Celebrating Diwali!

The word Diwali brings joy & happiness clubbed with images of diyas & lights in our eyes.

There are too many customs and procedure to follow while celebrating Diwali. Few of them are just preparations. Pooja of goddess Lakhsmi, lighting, Diyas, Crackers & sweet distribution are customs that everybody follows. And cleaning home is a preparation that comes naturally to us during pre Diwali days.

Though it’s always good to abide by traditional customs of celebrating Diwali but there are few things that need to change with time (IMO). The first & important thing is overuse or just use of crackers.

There are many reasons to avoid crackers but most important one is the pollution they cause. In Diwali we clean our home but by using crackers we pollute the environment. Some people may differ but I am strictly against the use of crackers. To me, it is a waste of money & sheer harm to the environment.

No doubt how hard I try to convince my heart that just one cracker won’t make any difference, but my mind gives an alarm “it’s not just only one”. Just calculate, if one person will use one cracker then 1 crore people will use 1 crore crackers. At max you can do is to contribute your bit. “AVOID CRACKERS”
