I am just glad to be back, writing after a long time finally! The past few months have been a real roller coaster. With all the ups and downs in such a short time, the ride was a bumpy one! But through it all, there are a few things I learnt which are life lessons!

If they give you a bad vibe, trust your instincts!

Because almost 10 out of 10 times..YOU ARE CORRECT!!
