Vanilla looks like a simple yet elegant flavour, isn't it? A social media trend asks people to Google, "Where does vanilla flavouring come from?" and post their reactions. People are saying 'No' to vanilla flavour after checking the search results. While vanilla extracts come from vanilla pods and beans, there are non-plant ways of creating vanilla flavouring.

“Perfect is the enemy of good.” — Voltaire After I write this post, I have two options. I can obsess over its flaws, wonder if there’s a better way to say what I want to say, and edit it for months until I think it’s perfect. Or, I can hit publish. I’ll choose the latter option. Because seeking perfection doesn’t move us forward — it holds us back. Our best work  i sn’t perfect. It’s the imperfections in our work that enable it to be great. Here’s why… Perfect isn’t interesting. Perfection is never as interesting as imperfection.

The imperfections are what attracts others to our creations and what makes them stand out. Attention is drawn to things that stand out — not things that fit in.

“Woman is the companion of man, gifted with equal mental capacity… If by strength is meant moral power, then a woman is immeasurably man’s superior… If non-violence is the law of our being, the future is with women…”                              – Mahatma Gandhi A woman is God’s gift to man, and she is synonymous with sacrifice. She is both a life partner and a friend. Women are born with a caring heart, a sea of affection, and a love box. They are undeniably a sign of love and a pillar of strength. They’re still there, like a beacon in the night. Women all over the world want and deserve a future free of stigma, stereotypes, and violence, a future that is prosperous, safe, and provides equal rights and opportunities for all. To get there, women must be represented on the decision-making boards. When is International Women’s Day celebrated? Every year on March 8th,  International Women’s Day  is commemo...

How does one traverse through life with so many problems? Whether or not there is rainfall, there is always a shower of problems in life. Everybody has problems. It is not unique for you and me. Problem-free life is an illusion. It is like a mirage in the desert. It doesn't exist. It seems like life is a journey of problems and our primary focus each day is to solve the problems of life.
