Navratri has just begun, and we can already hear the loud dhols, popular garba beats, and the blowing of conch shells all around.

Did you know that quick snack dips have been on the menu since ancient times?

Corporate gifting is not just a trend; it has been followed since the first of the leaders. From the kings to the artists, everyone knows the secret, "a happy personnel is effective personnel."

You might have heard of a Japanese destination of enchantment: The Cafe of Mistaken Orders. Located in Tokyo, Japan, this cafe is operated by elderly individuals living with dementia. However, the cafe does not guarantee the right order, but it does promise an experience to remember.

While you send your children or loved ones away from you, the bottle you gave them becomes a quiet caretaker, keeping your clumsy darlings hydrated.
