You must have been thinking why did I use so many adjectives to describe this place, well yes every place has it’s own beauty throughout the day ! While Corsica has it’s own .

Corsica, a mountainous Mediterranean island, presents a mix of stylish coastal towns, dense forest and craggy peaks (Monte Cinto is the highest). Nearly half the island falls within a park. And its hiking trails include the challenging GR 20. Its beaches range from busy Pietracorbara to remote, camping-friendly Saleccia and Rondinara. It’s been part of France since 1768, but retains a distinct Italian flavor. Yes, Corsica is a place where you can find a great fusion of culture , heritage , languages as well as cuisines !

It’s an amazing place to visit with friends and families or with your loved ones for a short trip in here. This place is culturally rich because of it’s past and present beauties. Were you ever known that in this Spanish region people uses different types of olive oils for each food . Rather than that it’s a developed region for travel and tourism , where tourists are welcomed and facilitated in a homely manner.

The main attractions of Corsica are :

Ajaccio

The natural beauty of Ajaccio enchants visitors. The town has a majestic seaside setting with snowcapped mountain peaks in the distance and sandy beaches nearby. Ajaccio is the largest town and the capital of Corsica but still enjoys a relaxed way of life.

Bonifacio

In a picturesque location on a limestone cliff, surrounded by its ancient walls, Bonifacio is a well-preserved fortified town that dates back to the 9th century when it was founded by Bonifazio, the Marquis of Tuscany. Bonifacio has a wonderful Old World ambience; the town is a charming maze of medieval lanes flanked by old houses.

Porto Vacchio

Some of Corsica’s most popular beaches are around Porto Vecchio, the port town on a lovely bay. The town was established by the Genoese and still has remains of the protective walls and an 18th-century citadel. Most tourists come to Porto Vecchio to enjoy an escape to nature at one of the beautiful sandy beaches nearby.

These three places are mainly visited around the Corsica , because when you’re in Corsica you really don’t need any other expenses for side scenes as you’ll always be surrounded with Corsica’s humble people and it’s indescribable beauty !

So what do you think ? take money, take a break , pack your bags and fly off to Corsica !

Life the poem

Saheli Das

April 27, 2016

Life is very strange

As time passes we change

I feel I can improve more

But it becomes difficult before

I cant tell which way is right

But I choose the one I like

While travelling that path

I meet many pal

Some decide to stay with me forever

Some decide not to meet me ever

Yeah, I become a little sad

But I know they are not that bad

Its just that

That time I didn’t made good act

After that time comes

I myself compete with my pals

Jealousy, anger and pain

This stage is really intolerable

Now it’s the time for me to get the crown

Im going to become the queen of the town

Rest of my life I devote my youth

To establish my position and become more powerful

I’ll be old after that

Thinking of how im gonna past

Though I don’t know where to go

But my work on earth is over and I was successful you know

The Kite Runner: An Experience

Uzmi Kafil

April 27, 2016

(Quotes from the book, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini)

The Kite Runner is a book by Khaled Hosseini. But it is not just a book; it is a life that you live when you read the book and never recover from it. The Independent said about the book, “Guaranteed to move even the hardest heart”. No matter how many times you have read it already, open the book again, read two lines and you’ll end up reading pages and going through all the emotions once again. It is immortal.

The book, The Kite Runner, has extremely beautiful lines which are unforgettable. To re-live the book again here are some of them:

“For you, a thousand times over.”

Hassan said this line to Amir when he ran the kite. It is the most touching line of this book.

“There is always a way to be good again.”

Rahim Khan told this to Amir when they met later in the story.

“He had won because winners won and everyone else just went home.”

Amir thought this about his father, because for his father winning was important.

“And that’s the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.”

Amir awed at Hassan’s honesty every single time throughout the story.

“Tashakor” It means thank you.

“There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. .. When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.”

Amir’s father told to this to him and it actually makes a lot of sense.

“Children aren’t coloring books. You don’t get to fill them with your favorite colors.”

Rahim Khan tried to explain this to Baba so that he wasn’t tough on Amir.

And there are many more of them. Let us know which one touched you!

When Beauty Falls For The Beast

Anjum Baba

April 26, 2016

When beauty falls for the beast
She can be smitten, bitten and creased
Her life starts to rotate around this one single being
The harder he pushes her, the more she clings
They are opposites but that’s how it is
Two parallel tracks
Always together
But never meant to meet
This is what really happens
When beauty falls for the beast

He is dark, aggressive, robust and pained
She enters his life like a May month rain
She appears out of nowhere to change his life
He can try very hard but can never fight
Her smile is infectious
Voice like a silver bell
She is everything he is not
He is everything she wants
He loves her like crazy but tries to conceal
No point hiding for she knows how he feels

Iron like fists
Power like Hercules
Dare anybody tries to harm her
The beast will tear him into pieces
This is how you are protected
When you are in love with a beast

THE ENOUGH ‘LOOK’

Uzmi Kafil

April 25, 2016

The entangled hairs remained entangled

Face looked so worn-out

My shirt un-tucked and dirty,

A look at the mirror was enough!

Being bid farewell by eyes’ glow

Whispers heard were a delusion

Arcane dreams invaded sleep,

A look at the entrance was enough!

Pouring rain was continuous

Swaying grasses were bent

Creaking swing was empty,

A look at the meadow was enough!

The thirsty expression lingered

Unsatisfied was the heart

Downward curve being prominent,

A look at the mirror was enough!

Top 5 Facts you didn’t know about Sultan

kellybrown

April 25, 2016

The hangover of ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ has not gone away yet from everyone’s mind and the next gift of ‘Bhaijaan’ in the auspicious occasion of Eid is ready for the Indian audience. Indeed, just like every year Bollywood’s ‘Bhaijaan’, Salman Khan is ready to present his next gift that is ‘Sultan’ to his fans and there is nothing to say that when the very name is Salman Khan, it would be nothing wrong to have high expectations from the movie.

‘Sultan’, the Indian sports- drama is going to be released on July 6, 2016. The film has been produced by Aditya Chopra and directed by Ali Abbas Zafar who has already earned his goodwill in Bollywood with his earlier movies ‘Gundey’ and ‘My Brother Ki Dulhan’ but this time, the director’s job was quite challenging as he has worked with Super Star Salman.

Casting

With the releasing of ‘Sultan’, Indian audience will get to see a fresh pair as for the first time Anushka Sharma will share the screen with Salman. But the report says that director Ali Abbas Zafar’s first choice was Parineeti Chopra for this role. It has also come to hear that for the role of Sultan’s coach the name of Sanjay Dutt and American actor Sylvester Stallone was proposed but initially Randeep Hooda got the role to play.

And last but not the least; the list will be incomplete without mentioning the name of Suzi Khan who became popular after her ‘crying video’ for Salman got viral after watching ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’. Suzi who is in class kg- ii now, will be playing the role of Salman’s daughter in the movie.

Along with all the actors and actresses, the audience will also get to see the real-life wrestler Tyron Woodly in the movie in a role of a wrestler.

Salman declares about his special training

There is nothing to say that how much dedication Salman always shows in each of his movies. Either it is ‘Kick’ or ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’ or ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’, Salman has always made himself according to the demand of the film. This time, also he has not left a single chance to offend his fans. That’s why he has he has put on a lot of weight as a muscular and toned body was required for the film. Along with that, he has also learned to speak Haryanvi as the story will be based on the background of Haryana and there will be few dialogues in Haryanvi.

Why did Salman cry in the set!

It is said that music has the power to conquer everything. And the music composition of the movie ‘Sultan’ is surely going to be mesmerizing as it has already brought tears in Salman’s eyes. Indeed, Salman Khan started crying in the set during the shooting hearing a song ‘Jag Ghumiya’ which depicts the story of a person who is searching for peace throughout his life. Hence, it will be not wrong to expect some unique tracks by Vishal and Shekhar who composed the music of the movie.

Controversy is not leaving Sallu Miya

Salman is not only the name of the Super Star of the silver screen rather it would be not wrong to address him as the ‘Controversy King of Bollywood’. And controversy is not leaving him in this case also as the rumor is spreading that Salman’s ‘Sultan’ has a resemblance with Amir’s ‘Dangal’ though Sallu Miya is not paying heed at the rumor at all like always and to know the truth we have to wait till July 6, 2016.

Salman had to tackle the ghost in the set

The report of seeing ghosts has come to hear several times in the sets of movies. But this time, the appearance of a ghost has been reported in the set of ‘Sultan’. According to the report, a crew member of ‘Sultan’ saw a floating figure out of the window of his hotel. Getting scared he started to scream then Salman himself came to the spot and suggested everyone to stay closer.

Love Yourself

Payelia Dasgupta

April 23, 2016

Sometimes when you are in love with someone, the person influences you so much that you are ready to change yourself for that person. You love everything about the person and think of ways that will make you more likeable. You change your lifestyle, your dressing sense, your food habits and every little thing that makes you more like that person. But hardly does this change come from within you. You are swept away in fantasies and love for that person that you forget what it is to love yourself. You forget your desires, your objectives and your perspective of the world around you. You can see only what is available as a reflection of the original image from somebody else’s eyes. Your senses are wrapped into a chest, hidden into oblivion. When do you realise this? When the person for whom you have changed leaves you, your heart breaks and shatters into a million pieces and you cannot glue the pieces back together. You call yourself heartbroken and lonely. Are you lonely?

You have been lonely forever. Only you never felt it because you were busy trying to be the person you admired and forgot to admire the amazing person that you are. You cannot identify yourself anymore. You feel lost. It is important to accept the individual differences because these differences set us apart from animals.

The importance of role models has always been great. We derive an immense pleasure from finding the relevance of our persona with another person and if that person is a favourite among people. We try to ape their style quotients and inculcate their ideologies even if we don’t understand them truly. We cheat ourselves from the happiness that we actually aspire from. Greatness cannot be derived from practice, it comes from within. We must widen our avenues of thought process and build ourselves towards an insightful being, we must accept ourselves the way we are instead of trying to be someone else, we are blessed with a body and mind that is capable of so much. We counter the stress factors every day in our lives and derive pride from our accomplishments, there is nothing in the world that would give us that much happiness as that of accepting ourselves to the utmost level without trying to change ourselves based on what others feel about us. So love yourself first. Then only will you be able to love and accept everything around you!
