A JOURNEY CALLED LIFE

It maybe a little while till we are able to resume our normal lives and play with our kids in the park. The children have been the worst to suffer; it's their age to explore the world but they have been confined indoors for the past 4 months. Entertaining kids have been a challenge for all the parents. We are a No/Minimal screen parents so we are constantly trying to entertain our toddler with things that involve creativity. Of course LEGO sets are her favourite. Her latest set is the Nature Glamping Set. It's a super cute set with everything you can think of during glamorous camping or 'GLAMPING'.

And after I passed my MBBS, I had the privilege of hiring maids to do all the chores. Usually it's said that when a guy lives alone, indep...
