Crossword Bookstore - Mahalaxmi 2
Here is the joyous moments that i experienced while working in crossword. I had an amazing department owner and great team mates. I have got to tell you about these two guys who were so mean to me and one of my friends. This “khunas” (rivalry) started when we joined the children section. They would not let us do any work in the section. I guess... more...

CLIMATE CHANGE AND SUSTAINABILITY
Climate Change and Its Impacts Our personal perception of Climate Change is largely developed through experience and interpretation of records compiled by our ancestors.

I think it’s the time for re-runs in my life! Last year I embarked on a road trip down south and visited places that I had not been to for 20-odd years. And in a week’s time, I will be visiting another country which I last saw 20years ago. A lot has changed in India in the meantime, and in life.
