My UP Trip ! (Part I - Day 1) - Brindavan

Dear Readers,  Good to meet you after a very long break. Last week I took my first vacation in 4 years, with my last vacation plans to Tadoba in 2020 cancelled just as Covid had started peaking. This trip was kind of extensive and long with 4 of us visiting Vrindavan, Ayodhya, Prayagraj and Kashi (aka Benares / Varanasi) for over 8 days. First, started with our Pune- Delhi flight and caught a cab to Vrindavan. The Delhi-Vrindavan flight duration was around 3 hours, and we reached Vrindavan by around 3 pm.

Life lessons from Ad Taglines

 Ad taglines give a lot of life lessons. There was one which made a big change in my way of thinking.

It opened a new perspective for me to hear someone say thinking is a waste of time. Being an over thinker, it really changed my perspective. Some other Ad tag lines that made an impact on me... Just Do It. It's your life. Make it large. Let other men do other things. Not a life lesson, but a caption I liked . More car per car ! Comment with the ad tag lines you liked or that which changed your life!
