You admire the brand of mineral water and the class of the restaurant. Have you ever thought of asking the waiter to take back the branded packaged water bottle and bring to you the normal RO/Water purifier water?  NO? Then try it someday. The waiter will give you a weird look as if you are not meant for that place or you do not have enough money to pay the restaurant bill.

Your act is a mirror of your upbringing and basic thoughts. You may be boasting #Black ...

It was just another lockdown eve where everyone was into their houses, saving themselves from what they referred as a hidden monster, Corona. Suddenly, a high pitched voice full of pain just went yards into the streets, came back and again there was a dead silence. People came out to their balconies, it was Sherlyn. Sherlyn, the dynamic young lady, single mother who was known much for her impressive career, lavish lifestyle and ofcourse for her collection of watches comprising of all leading global brands.
