Know Your Birthstone.

By -
In India, most of us wear a gemstone upon our astrologer's consultations and recommendations. Gemstones  are known to have strong magical powers and therefore, are worn to enhance the good luck for prosperity, wealth and happiness. These precious stones also have great healing properties, and thus are recommended to wear to do away the bad luck and evils.

I don't know how many of you are aware of birthstones. Every birth month has its respective birthstone and is considered very lucky for the people who are born in that month. You can wear these birthstones even without any consultation.

Long weekends often urge you to take an outstation trip and by obvious choice you prefer hill stations. Last weekend, we decided to visit Shimla. Though we knew it would be crowded there, we still wanted to go as we had never been to Himachal. Shimla being the most popular hill spot, it was the first to come to our minds. Everything was planned at the last moment. An innova was hired. We started at 5 in the morning from Gurgaon. We were six including me, my husband, my sister, my brother-in-law, their three year old kid, and my other sister. We reached Shimla around 3.15 pm, with just two stoppages in between not taking more than half an hour. So, it actually took around 10 hours. It is Needless to say that we all were tired and immediately needed a comfortable place to stretch out. I forgot to mention that we were super excited and invigorating during our journey but our excitement took a pause when we landed to our destination and got to know that almost all the hotels were bo

I had been hearing from my friends about the scenic beauty of Lonavala that comes alive in the monsoons and finally the last weekend, we (me, my husband and two other friends) decided to visit Lonavala.   We kept it short to one day only. As we wanted to reach early with no traffic, we started at 5.30 in the morning. It is around 96 km away from Mumbai and is accessible through the expressway.   The greenery, the scenic view and cool rain showers made our entire drive very pleasant. Soon I realized why Mumbaikars call Lonavala “a must visit” place in Monsoons. The travelling itself seemed a destination. We reached there around 8 am and our first stop was at Bushy Dam. I just can’t get enough words to describe the feel that I got as I stepped out of the car. It was a breathtaking view. It appeared as if the entire place was wrapped up in the velvety green blanket. This dam is a much sought after picnic destination in Lonavala. Visitors flock in with their families and friends
