My Top 5 Books for 2021
At the beginning of every year, I religiously set a target for myself – the number of books I’m going to read in the year. I’m proud to say till this year I’ve always managed to meet the target and had even surpassed it some years (oh yes!). But this year, I realised that I had not met the target; actually, I was way, way below the mark. My excuse – it’s been a crazy year. I know I used the excuse last year also but this year I’m admitting it. Feeling a little bad about it but no worries I have still managed to read some fantastic books and loved the time I spent with them. Here are the top 5 books of 2021 I super enjoyed.

10 Summer Activities to Keep the Kids Busy
Parents must realise that education happens even outside the classrooms.

I have listed out a few activities to happily engage children for the summertime.

Bali is an experience by itself. If you enjoy a laid-back vacation, filled with luscious greenery, gastronomical treats, beautiful architectural beauty, heavenly massages and let’s not forget the warm hospitality, then Ubud is the place to go.
