But now since they have both come together and it has become like a gourmet cafe, my experience of dining out was very different.

Healthy Liver, 5 Tips To Keep A Check On It

A healthy liver is essential to our overall well being. Located in the right-hand side of the upper abdomen, above the stomach is our liver, shaped like a cone, darkish red-brown in colour and weighs about 3 pounds.

Induce Sound Sleep, 9 Tried and Tested Tips

For us Indians, its biggest recognition and recall comes from its presence on top of Naan (a kind of Indian flatbread).

Menstrual Cup, All You Need To Know About It

I switched to using a menstrual cup some 2.5 years ago and it was probably the best decision I ever took. The trend in India had just started back then and I was glad to give it a try and since then there has been no looking back. But I do get surprised that even now, not many women know about it, and if they know, they are very hesitant of using it.
