About a min read

I am not talking about talking-for-free to absolutely anyone in any corner of the world (through Skype); nor is it about free Hotmail account you’re using for more than 10 years now. I am talking about real things in life, which count. And they...

If there's anything like 'luck', then I've been the luckiest. Twice! Twice I've been privileged to see and hear their master-duo. Probably it all happened just to reinforce my strong-old belief that if one isn't into one or the other form of art...

First of all, there's no part-I. This concept is inspired from the movie Waisa Bhi Hota Hai - Part:II. No other logics involved. Trekking is fun. However, it can be actually fatal if we miss on our part of carefulness. So here are some points...

When Opponents Cooperate
