The world is a stage!

Every dreamer knows that it is entirely possible to be homesick for a place you've never been to, perhaps more homesick than for familiar ground. - Judith

I fell in love with the words as soon as I got to read them, primarily few years back, and it got etched in my head as to the needs and aspirations that one should hold from oneself and from life, and also the need of experiencing the life in a way that would make it more wonderful, beautiful, colourful and delight to watch once looked back upon with an urge to further go ahead with the situations head on as they come up.

It is so important to #sayyestotheworld and set out on the beautiful journey that lays ahead which hold number of experiences to be made on without having iota of knowledge about the experience that one would go on to hold. #TheBlindList is a wonderful initiative by #Lufthansa that brings a lot of excitement to face on with such opportunities and set out on the explorations.

Traveling joys are amazing, and give plenty of experiences that one has quite a number of stories to narrate and quote from, sharing the fun of explorations are excellent memoirs that one carries throughout life and takes pleasure delving deeper into them as one moves ahead taking one step at a time, to holding a record of multiple steps. 

#SayYesToTheWorld would not be less than any adventure and setting out on unplanned and on a mysterious journey is a reward which one should welcome with open arms, as it would not only let the individual grow on personal grounds, but shall offer the plethora of opportunities by stepping out into the unknown.

Exploration of the world and the inventions and discoveries throughout the periods and eras in the history are a result of venturing into the unplanned and unknown. Thus, it would be a pleasure to get out on to the journeys and traveling experiences which would broaden my perspective of life in a better and fruitful way. 

The traveling could mean from mountains to beaches, to the forested lands, desert explorations, underwater experiences, trekking onto the top of the peaks, high sky adventures, festivals and culture explorations, educational tours, amongst a huge list, where each one to its own. Every kind of travel adventure and exploration is a learning which would bring one closer to the self, and present a better insights of the world. 

It is rightly said, a person needs to make a move to learn and grow, instead of being stagnant at one location. Taking one step at a time, builds up the route, and journey is set on. There is a child within each one of us, who wishes to set out of the comfort zone and explore the world of its offerings and learn the things as they come. Traveling is one of the best ways one can grow and nurture oneself. 

And as all kids, I have always wondered and carried that exploring nature within me, that as a kid I would hide onto the places least expected, would bring up things from here and there which anyone around me least expected, the questions and queries that I used to come up surprised everyone around, therefore, it is always a pleasure for me to set out on the journeys without planning and carrying little knowledge with me, and let the nature and world do that to me in its own devised ways and mechanisms that it deems fit and suitable.

The World is a Book, read it #DefinitelyPTE way!

Saint Augustine once said that "The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only a page."

Moving out and studying abroad is often believed to change the world as one knows it. Most people are exposed only to one country or place for years before they have the chance to go abroad. While this is a comfortable place to be, until a person leaves what they know, they may never get the full experience of what the world has to offer.

There are lot of opportunities that lays before an individual and one can make one's choices based on the dreams and promises of oneself. For those who dream of studying abroad or simply escaping from the peers, one is probably thinking it will be an easy transition. From personal experience, I can say that it is a lot of fun, but certainly not easy as it comes with its own set of problems, issues or hurdles as one may say.

To list, few of the problems can be-

• The currency issues and differences is a task to manage. 
• The language barriers that are to be faced come a long way in the process of settling and making choices in a foreign country.
• There are lot of times when one feels like an outsider.
• Being several thousands of miles away from the family and support system.
• The food and eating habits are a concern for a lot of individuals.
• The university applications and acceptance notices.
• Finding a place to stay and
• Identifying the social norms.

But when one pushes through the limits and the challenges, everything works out in the end if the choices are made carefully – and if nothing else would work out, one would have lots of stories to tell at parties. The whole process of moving out of the comfort zone is quite a blissful one and experiencing it one's own way is a blessing. 

It is rightly said the right choices must be made at the right time and at the right place. It is important to begin the process in a proper guided manner so that the whole process becomes fast and easy for the individuals. Once the foundation stone is kept strong, the whole building stands stronger.

#DefinitelyPTE is the foundation stone of the moving abroad life. This English Language Test is user-friendly and offers a variety of options and choices to the individuals to apply to the university of their choice as the scores are accepted at a lot of universities worldwide such as London School of Business and Finance, Toronto Loyalist College McMaster University Michener Institute Mohawk College Niagara College, amongst a long list of colleges.

The availability of test centres in number of countries makes it even more favourable among the test takers to go for the test such as Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, etc. 

There are lot of beneficial factors that one can take into account such as test can be completed in a single session.

 

The test evaluation is completely computer based, thus there can no bias in the marking pattern. The granular scale 10-90 is a very convenient way for the evaluation to take place. 

The flexibility offered in the test is praise-worthy. Also, the scores can be sent to a number of university without adding any additional cost. 

Also, the availability of the PTE Preparation Course is what makes it a good option for the test takers to go for PTE Academic as their choice of taking the English Language Test.

Thus, with lots of above mentioned advantages of PTE Academic over other tests, makes it a great choice for the test takers and it would be convenient for the individuals to go for it and make better choices right from the beginning itself. Therefore, #DefinitelyPTE. 

The need of the hour - Water Conservation!

As we go with the need of the hour, water conservation has come to occupy the top most place on the ladder. The foremost and primary reason for water conservation is that “we may die” without fresh water in just a few days.  And this is a fact for that matter! Each one of us knows that there is no life without water and no living being can live without water. If we do not learn to conserve water, a resource as important as life, we will soon be fishes without water and we know the consequences. 

• Wealth and Goodness of Mankind: Hence, it is quite important for us to conserve water not only for the wealth and goodness of mankind, but also for the animals and plants that are an important part of our ecosystem. Thus, it is recommended to stop contaminating the environment with continuous pouring of the pesticides and fertilizers, oils and other pollutants in rivers as it makes the fresh water unavailable and unfit for human consumption.

• Water saving also helps in energy saving: Government bodies use pumps to provide water that runs with energy. If water is not available in nearby regions of the pump, the pump will require a large amount of energy to get water which is also a kind of energy waste.

• Health maintenance: If there will be water crisis in the world, it will become very difficult for people to maintain their health and get rid of several diseases like kidney stone, migraine headache etc. Thus, keeping in mind that there are several health benefits of drinking water and keeping body hydrated, it is important to conserve this vital resource of human existence.

• Farming i.e Irrigation and Agriculture: Water is an important ingredient for irrigation and agriculture purposes on the fields. Agriculture is the only mean to grow food and this cannot be imagined without water. Out of 65-70% of water that we get from well and ponds, 50% is used in agriculture. This means, we need a large amount of good water for agriculture and irrigation. Here again, water conservation plays an important role.

• Pocket Friendly: Saving water also saves a lot of money. Yes! It does. Water providers serve water and charge according to the amount of water one consumes. If one does not waste water and use only required amount of water, one can surely save a lot of money that comes in water bill. 

• Basic necessity: Above all, water is the basic necessary to live life. No living being can be alive without water and it is extremely important for us to drink clean water. By drinking clean water, a person can stay healthy and fit. It is very important for you to get your drinking water connection from a certified water provider who provides clean and safe drinking water.

Some of the measures that we can take in our daily life range from the simple and basic changes that would make a huge difference such as 

• Storing excess water from the purifiers for gardening and cleaning purposes, feeding pets and birds by filling their vessels.
• Also, making the effective use of dishwashers, flushes and washing machines aids in water conservation. 
• Asking for required amount of water for quenching thirst, and filling bottles with the left amount.
• Educating masses through campaigns and programmes such as #CuttingPaani.
• Awareness is to be increased about the importance of conservation of water.

Fair deal with the nature is the need of the hour and we must not backout with this responsibility, instead must step ahead and do the needful in the best ways possible, before we run out of this vital resource of existence.

Come on India, #CuttingPaani is the need of the hour!! Let's learn to live with this mantra.

#CuttingPaani is a great initiative and platform by LIVPURE to begin the art of conserving water in innovative ways that would prevent the wastage of this vital resource. 

Water is the driver of the nature, it is where the life comes from.
