High Heels, Hefty Fines

A visit to Athens can be ‘heel’ing!

Keep the love for heels outside Greece! Tourists planning to visit Greece have been warned to pay attention to their choice of footwear when exploring Greece. A wrong choice will land them fine. It is illegal to wear high heels while exploring ancient monuments like Parthenon and the Acropolis in Athens since 2009 to preserve the sites from any kind of distrust or damage.

Festive Spirit of Life

The spirit behind festivals – togetherness

With the onset of season of festivals, the festive spirit is unmissable. Festivals usually denote splash of colour, excitement, spirituality, rituals and great food (a festival in itself!). However, at the core of any festival across the world is the simple yet profound joy of being with family and friends, love, laughter, fun banter and above all the sense of comfort and belonging. At the society level, it envisages the sense of compassion, help and generosity when communities reach out to the less privileged and make them participate in festivals. Indian festivals in particular are a powerful symbol of family reunions, faith and oneness. So go all out and celebrate festival, celebrate family. Worth a thought.
